The heavens began from a small hell

Time flies. Since the day the Imperial Court ascended to the heavens and ruled over all things, more than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

For over a hundred years, all the heavens and myriad realms were generally peaceful. Although there were occasional disputes between the realms, there were few calamities that would lead to the destruction of the universe.

Decades ago, some arrogant rebels attempted to storm the Imperial Court, hoping to show the major powers of all ages that the Imperial Court was not invincible. However, they were easily killed by the Divine Lord of the Imperial Court and failed to achieve their intended goal.

The forces and lineages of those involved in rebellion were tracked down by the imperial court's powerful figures who deduced the secrets of heaven, and were soon completely wiped out from all worlds.

During that time, countless living beings heard the song of blood and sorrow. The blood of rebellion stained the earth black, and countless souls were extracted and turned into objects.

The Imperial Court's ruthless executions instilled fear in the hearts of various powerful forces across the world. Some fools were also severely punished by the strong within these forces to prevent them from offending the Imperial Court and causing the destruction of their entire lineage.

It wasn't that the great powers of the various worlds were too cowardly, but rather that the punishment levied by the Imperial Court was too terrifying. As a result, a myriad of worlds that had existed for countless ages was crippled...

The underlying order of the entire universe was altered by the transcendent being of the Imperial Court, and it became the Imperial Court's pasture, producing all kinds of delicious creatures.

For example, the Dragon and Phoenix clans, whose fame has spread throughout the ages because of their dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

For example, the Chengtian Spirit Bear Clan, known for its tender bear paws.

such as……

The myriad realms of that world lost the conventional path to becoming stronger. The only way for the beings within those realms to grow stronger was to gradually abandon their original forms and transform into various 'divine beasts'. Once they became Immortal Kings, they would become qualified ingredients and ascend to the Imperial Court's Food Heaven under the guidance of the heavens.

It is because of these changes that a world of countless realms is called a pasture.

However, the 'Lord of the Imperial Court' was kind-hearted and could not bear to see future generations reduced to food for all eternity because of the mistakes of their predecessors, so he set a time limit—

Eight hundred and forty million years.

If the creatures of the 'Pasture' do not cause any more trouble within 840 million years, they will be able to escape the fate of 'ascending to the Heaven of Food'.

Also because of the 'Emperor's' benevolence, the Heavenly Food's pull on the 'Pastoral's' Immortal King-level ingredients is not coercive. If the Immortal King-level ingredients are determined to stay in their homeland and not explore the unknown and mysterious outside world...

So they will never be slaughtered on 'meal days'.

With such examples presented here, the Imperial Court is undoubtedly telling all the major powers of the world that rebellion not only brings disaster to the present but also incurs eternal sins. Before harboring any disrespectful thoughts, one should carefully consider the consequences.

The two Heavenly Courts were silent, with few of the previous resentful complaints remaining.

The powerful figures of the Heavenly Court who have come to realize the reality... to be precise, a group of extremely ambitious Heavenly Kings are eager to find their Heavenly Emperor, because only with the return of the Heavenly Emperor can they contend with the Imperial Court.

Only by clashing with the Imperial Court can a turmoil involving the life and death of Immortal Kings and drawing the Supreme Beings into the fray be triggered. This allows them to transcend the limits of their natural talents amidst life and death, and glimpse the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

A handful of forces somehow learned that the progenitors and supreme beings of the strange were not dead and wanted to find their traces.

This seemingly absurd news actually has a certain degree of credibility. Dao Ancestor-level powerhouses who have come into contact with the supreme beings know that the supreme beings of the heavens cannot simply perish completely.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the Heavenly Court's ruler, Huang, gathered several supreme beings to refine a supreme being, and it took thousands of years of obliteration to finally kill that supreme being...

However, there are rumors in the world that this news is false. Although Huang was extremely powerful back then, he could not find several supreme beings of the same camp, so it is impossible for him to join forces with multiple supreme beings to destroy a supreme being.

The world is full of truths and falsehoods. Even those who experienced those times firsthand may not be able to tell the whole truth, let alone the people of this era.

Time passed slowly, and in the year 365 of the new calendar, Lin Yang bestowed upon Hu Sheng the newly crafted supreme immortal artifact, the Temple of the Gods.

This item is a magical artifact配套的仙器 (matching artifact) for the Investiture of the Gods, which can empower all the gods on the Investiture of the Gods, raising their combat power by a whole level.

Even a Dao Ancestor-level God Lord, with the blessing of the Pantheon, can still reach the Supreme Realm. The fact that a single Supreme-grade artifact allowed multiple Dao Ancestor-level beings to touch the Supreme Realm seems illogical, but it's not because Lin Yang used technology beyond the comprehension of this era; rather…

The Pantheon is a composite celestial artifact.

What appears to be a palace-like celestial artifact, the Temple of Gods, is actually assembled from sixty-six supreme celestial artifacts.

This object is powerful enough to rival the sacrificial Dao, but since it contains traces of the laws of the Supreme Immortal and the Great Dao, it cannot be considered a true sacrificial Dao-level artifact.

Half a month after Lin Yang bestowed the Pantheon, the gods, lords, and generals who had been training in the Dream Realm for many years had already adapted to the new power.

Originally, the divine general was only equivalent to a quasi-immortal king, but after being blessed by the Pantheon, his various stats have exceeded those of a peak immortal king.

The resurrection time was also shortened many times over. Lin Yang also left behind the secret technique 'Divine Descent' in the Pantheon, which he had high hopes for in the early stages of this life but rarely used later.

After being improved, the 'Divine Descent' in the Pantheon can allow the deity descending upon the vessel to retain 30% of its original attributes, without any requirements on the vessel.

Even a mortal can bear 30% of the attributes of the Supreme God without dying suddenly.

Because this technique is difficult to master, Lin Yang refined it into one of the basic functions of the Pantheon, which can be used by all the gods in the Investiture of the Gods.

He had no intention of increasing the number of gods, so in the chaotic era that followed, the role of 'Divine Descent' was still very significant, unlike when it was in his hands and had been gathering dust for many years.

In the year 395 of the New Calendar, the pressure on all the major powers in the world has increased significantly, and the gods of the Imperial Court have demonstrated on several occasions the power they have received from the Pantheon.

Five supreme god-lords, thirty-six unparalleled god-kings, three hundred and sixty eternal god-generals...

Although the number of divine generals may seem small, even less than the number of people in the myriad realms, they are the main force of the Imperial Court's activities abroad.

In conjunction with the divine descent of the Pantheon, a single divine general can appear simultaneously in multiple heavens and myriad realms.

Following this line of thought, powerful figures from all ages naturally deduced that divine lords and even god-kings could also descend into the bodies of others to manifest their great power.

Under such pressure, some powerful figures silently left their spheres of influence. They sailed their supreme treasure ships across the waves, crossing the blood-red sacrificial sea to reach the outside of the plateau.

They... were searching for the Heavenly Emperor who had traveled far away.

Even though the journey was extremely dangerous, with a survival rate of less than one in a billion, some people still stepped forward because they knew that only the return of the Heavenly Emperor could break this stalemate.

Otherwise, after a long period of time, the 'Heavenly Court' that failed to truly govern all things in heaven and earth would gradually disappear into the past because it was not worthy of its name.

It wasn't necessarily caused by bloodshed and chaos; the more significant reason was the breakdown of morale.

Since that day, people have continued to step into the plateau shrouded in gray fog. Many died quickly, and were then illuminated by the Supreme Being, before stepping into the plateau that symbolizes death once more.

Although the progenitor-level monsters have similar strength to the progenitors, it is infinitely easier for those killed by them to be reflected back into the world than for those who died at the hands of the progenitors.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the supreme rulers of the two Heavenly Courts to continuously resurrect the deceased Dao Ancestor-level powerhouses and Immortal Kings.

Lin Yang's thoughts filled the heavens and earth; he saw the day when Huang and Ye returned, and he was experiencing that day firsthand.
