Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 181 The End of the Golden Age

It's the day of the annual talent assessment test again.

Children of appropriate age in every plane of the Glorious Realm, regardless of their status.

During these few days, you will be forced to participate in the talent assessment test organized by the Church of Light.

As long as you can achieve excellent results in the assessment, you can receive the best training from the church.

Thousands of years ago, the God of Light sent down the relevant oracle, and the system of talent assessment and testing began to be fully promoted throughout the entire Glorious Realm.

In this process, countless civilians and even slaves who were originally of low status soared to the sky with the help of talent assessment tests.

He became the extraordinary person that he had once dreamed of, and from then on became a member of the aristocratic class.

There are also many aristocratic forces that were once invincible, but have not produced any geniuses of sufficient importance for a long time.

Their original status was impacted by the rising new aristocracy and gradually declined.

The entire Glorious Realm underwent a major reshuffle from top to bottom.

Countless old aristocratic forces were driven off the altar, and countless new aristocratic forces stood at the top of the entire Glorious Realm.

The idea that talent is respected and the strong are king is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Background is no longer the main factor in determining one's future, and it is no longer even important.

Only their own talents are the decisive factor in determining what kind of future they will have.

This arms race centered around individual combat power has been going on for thousands of years throughout the Glorious Realm.

Countless powerful people were born from it, which increased the overall strength of the entire Glorious Realm by more than one level.

Thousands of years ago, ordinary extraordinary people were qualified to become nobility.

Legendary transcendents are even more qualified to stand at the pinnacle of the entire glorious realm.

Even in the central world, legendary transcendents can receive the highest level of treatment from all forces.

But now, ordinary extraordinary people are not even qualified to become noble attendants.

Even legendary transcendents can only dominate one side of the many marginal worlds.

It is difficult to establish your own country in the central world.

Especially in the five empires of the central world, ordinary legendary transcendents can only be directly granted the noble title of Viscount at most.

To become an earl, one must accumulate enough merits.

This would have been unimaginable thousands of years ago.

Thousands of years ago, forces similar to the five empires also existed in the central world.

At that time, if a legendary extraordinary person was willing to join, he would at least be directly granted the title of Marquis.

Even the title of duke is not impossible.

Moreover, his status is absolutely superior to the world, and he can communicate with the rulers of the empire on an equal footing.

Not only that, in addition to the improvement of comprehensive strength.

The entire Glorious Realm has even completely lifted restrictions on external exchanges.

Many worlds are no longer limited to communicating within the world, but can connect with other worlds in the entire Glorious Realm.

It's not just the Glorious Realm, it can also connect with other realms and promote each other.

This all-round openness and cultivation is the fundamental reason why the Glorious Realm can achieve such success today.

For all common people and even nobles, the emergence of this change has more benefits than disadvantages.

The common people had nothing to begin with, but because of this change they have some extra hope and future.

Although the nobles faced the impact of threats to their status, they already had more accumulation than the common people.

The probability of a genius among the offspring born is much higher than that of ordinary people.

In this situation, if one's original status is still taken away by the common people, it can only be said that one is not as skilled as others.

Except for some old aristocratic forces whose ideas were too rigid and lacked ambition, they were completely eliminated.

Most of the old aristocratic forces can still reap more benefits of the times by relying on their identity and status.

These old aristocratic forces are still active in the entire Glorious Realm.

This is a great era for everyone because it brings a broader future to everyone.

They called this era the 'Golden Age'.

The Golden Age began thousands of years ago and continues to this day.

It is now the 53465th year of the Glorious Calendar, and the Golden Age began in the 49785th year of the Glorious Calendar.

Before this, the Glorious Realm had gone through many eras, but no era had ever lasted for thousands of years.

But the Golden Age lasted for more than three thousand years.

During the Golden Age, every year brings progress to the entire realm, and all beings rejoice.

No one knows how long the golden age will last or when the next one will come.

Until this day, countless space cracks appeared in the entire Glorious Realm.

Emerging from these space cracks was a huge army.

Although they are all common races that exist within the realm.

They still felt an aura from each other that was completely different from their own.

This does not come from different cultures or cognitions, but some more fundamental differences.

The difference, which was even more difficult to understand than to describe, caused an instinctive rejection and disgust to well up in the hearts of all living beings.

Along with these armies came many changes in the world.

The earth collapsed in an instant, countless plants quickly withered, the ocean gradually dried up, and countless marine species lost their homes.

The sky also became fragmented, and blood rain poured down on the earth, as if the world was shedding its own tears of blood.

This announced the end of the Golden Age, and what followed was an era of despair and wailing among all beings.

"Why do we feel like the villains?"

Zheng Jie said somewhat angrily after seeing this scene.

"Otherwise, do you still think we are good people?"

"You should know that when we, the gods of Blue Star, wage foreign wars in the Endless Void, we will forcibly transform the world rules of those conquered worlds to be synchronized with our kingdom of God."

"And the world will definitely perish in this process."

"Only after the rules stabilize will a new world will emerge."

"Although the World Will isn't some special life form with self-awareness, it's just a program that operates according to fixed rules."

"Except for those gods who govern by rules, others will not perish directly because of this."

"But this is no different from simply demolishing the Aboriginal homes."

"All living things have feelings. Even a home you've lived in for decades can easily lead to a certain level of dependence and affection."

"Not to mention that this is the home where they have lived since they were born and where they have invested countless emotions."

"With their own emotional tendencies and the influence of the world's will, these natives will not have any good impression of us."

"To them, we are alien invaders who are determined to destroy their world and are their mortal enemies."

"Even if we conquer this world, it will be difficult for us to convert the natives into our followers within three generations."

"This isn't the Land of Origin, where you can instantly earn the loyalty of the natives simply by providing them with a better life." "Converting the natives of the Endless Void into your followers is a long and costly endeavor."

Chen Li's tone was quite calm, and he did not take the changes in the entire Glorious Realm to heart.

The two sides have different positions, and there is actually no such thing as villains or heroes.

For the natives of the Glorious Realm, the Alliance of All Spirits is an invader they hate extremely.

But for the Alliance of All Spirits, the natives of the Glorious Realm have no qualifications to communicate with them on an equal footing.

Just like the indigenous forces within the Glorious Realm would swallow up each other, those big forces did not consider whether the small forces were willing when they swallowed them up.

The arrival of the All Spirits Alliance also does not require consideration of whether the Glorious Realm is willing.

For the Alliance of All Spirits, the Glorious Realm is just a primary war zone with a price of 6 trillion.

They came here just to receive a part of the victory fruits of the entire Wanxiang God System, nothing more.

In fact, the style of the Blue Star gods today can be considered very restrained.

At least in the process of foreign wars, the gods of Blue Star mainly targeted those gods.

As long as others are willing to cooperate, they can survive well.

But in a certain period long ago, the gods of Blue Star were not as gentle as they are now.

Chen Li had read some records inside the Divine Court.

What he saw there was a dark period that was too painful for the entire Endless Void to look back on.

Because the natives of the Crystal Wall System are influenced by their own emotional tendencies and the will of the world, they have great hostility towards the gods of Blue Star.

Even if they won and ruled those worlds.

The indigenous people there were difficult to tame and their faith could not be gained for the time being.

Not only that, they would often erupt in various rebellions, greatly increasing the cost of ruling the Blue Star gods' clan civilization.

Even though the gods of Blue Star were gentle enough to the natives, they had already provided them with a better life before they even believed in themselves.

Especially those lower-class indigenous people can obtain basic living security.

They can have the opportunity to receive an education and gain the dignity they never had before.

But unfortunately, those natives were still unwilling to appreciate it and always harbored great hatred towards the Blue Star gods and their clan civilizations.

In the end, they finally angered all the gods of Blue Star.

All indigenous people who have been conquered but are still unwilling to submit to the rule of their clan civilization will be subject to comprehensive extermination orders.

And in the process of conquering those crystal wall systems later, all the natives were not even given a chance.

The direct purpose is to completely exterminate all aspects and thoroughly clear the entire crystal wall system.

Afterwards, let your own clan civilization arrange for the population to reproduce in those crystal wall systems.

Anyway, for the gods of Blue Star, whether it is 100,000 years or 1 million years, it is just a blink of an eye.

But this much time is enough for their clan civilization to fill up the entire crystal wall system again, and it doesn't even take that much time.

In this process, they do not need to pay any additional costs, but can stably control the crystal wall systems that have been conquered.

Chen Li was not quite sure how long this dark period, which was too painful for the entire Endless Void to look back on, lasted, and there was no detailed record in the information of the Divine Court.

However, according to the records in the Divine Court, it seemed that a supreme being in the endless void could no longer bear to watch.

Negotiated with the Supreme Being of Blue Star and modified some basic rules of the Endless Void.

Only then did the Blue Star gods finally stop and continue to gently rule the natives within the Crystal Wall System to gain their support and faith.

As long as the current Blue Star gods' clan civilizations carry out normal rule, they will be able to gain the faith of the indigenous people stably after three generations.

And before gaining their faith, it would not be so easy for any major unrest to occur. This is the result of modifying the basic rules.

Before this, it would have been difficult to maintain stability, let alone gain their faith, even with the efforts of thirty generations, let alone three.

Otherwise, the gods of Blue Star would not have taken such extreme actions.

Finally, it stopped, not only because of the intervention of the Supreme Being, but also because of the intention of the Supreme Being on Blue Star.

According to the information from the Divine Court, the number of true gods born during that period far exceeded that of any other period.

But it is only limited to true gods with powerful divine power.

Whether it is powerful divine power or great divine power, the number born during that period was far lower than normal, not to mention the supreme being.

Although that method of total extermination is efficient, it is not conducive to the long-term development of the Blue Planet.

Therefore, even without the intervention of the Supreme Being, Blue Star would stop sooner or later.

"The overall strength of the indigenous forces in this primary war zone is much higher than the average level in the Land of Origin."

"Even those smaller planes have at least several legendary transcendents."

"Some medium-sized planes even have top legends in charge."

"Not to mention the only large plane. Although it doesn't have the strongest combat power, it seems to have many means to deal with the strongest combat power."

"Just based on their apparent strength, these planes cannot be underestimated."

"Especially that large plane. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to take over."

"Even with Chi Yan's supreme fighting power, we may not be able to deal with the five great empires in that large plane."

Zheng Jie's gaze was focused on the central world of the Glorious Realm.

Not only do the so-called five empires exist there, they can also match the strongest combat power to a certain extent.

More importantly, that is the lair of the God of Light. Who knows what arrangements the God of Light has made there.

If the two of them did not take action, it would be difficult to take it down with only the Dawn Empire and the other members of the All Spirits Alliance.

"The Endless Void is different from the Land of Origin."

"The Land of Origin will be affected by our gods. After we leave the Land of Origin, those believers who cannot take their lives with them will gradually lose their faith."

"In this process, its civilization structure will also be greatly damaged."

"Therefore, in the place of origin, there are very few civilizations that can last for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years."

"But in the Endless Void, it's not uncommon for civilizations to last for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years."

"Although they may experience various fault lines, they are still able to preserve part of their civilizational heritage."

"Before we appeared, these gods would deliberately suppress the development of these civilizations to prevent them from threatening their status."

"But now, in order to fight us, those gods have completely relaxed their restrictions on the development of civilization."

"It is precisely because of this that those civilizations were able to achieve such a huge leap in strength within just a few thousand years. This is because they already had the corresponding foundation."

"If we had not come to this primary war zone, the God of Light would have been fully committed to promoting the development of this primary war zone."

"Perhaps in just a few thousand years, a truly powerful legend will emerge in this primary war zone."

"After all, these natives not only have the support of the God of Light, but also the blessing of the world will of the entire primary war zone."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many geniuses emerging in this primary war zone."

Chen Li's gaze penetrated the limitations of time and space, taking in the entire Glorious Realm.

"Don't worry, we don't need to take action. That large plane won't be able to turn the world upside down."

"Chi Yan isn't the only one with the strongest fighting force here."
