High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Upon hearing this, Lin Hanzhou sat up straight from the recliner.

His gaze also became serious.

He knew that what the other person was about to tell him was likely a secret about this world.

"Go ahead and say it."

He answered the other person's question, gesturing for them to continue.

The young man in black finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the other person would say, "I don't want to know," at this moment.

At that point, he will truly have nothing to say.

…….............

"As everyone knows, a long, long time ago, this continent was not like it is now, with seven kingdoms vying for supremacy and endless wars."

The voice of the young man in black drifted over, as if it came from the ancient river of history.

"At that time, the entire continent was ruled by an incredibly powerful dynasty."

That dynasty was called the Great Zhou.

"That was a golden age, incomparably glorious and prosperous."

"In that era, the lineage of us demon slayers reached an unprecedented peak."

"There are countless Earth-rank Ghost Masters, and even Heaven-rank Ghost Masters are not uncommon."

"Even above the Heavenly Rank, there exist those mythical... Saint-Rank Ghost Masters!"

"Saint-rank Ghost Masters are the pinnacle of Ghost Masters. They are the rulers of this world, and their every move carries the power to destroy heaven and earth."

At this point, a look of heartfelt longing and nostalgia appeared on the young man's face.

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"No one knows how long the Great Zhou Dynasty has existed; it seems to have existed since ancient times."

"There are very few records in historical books about the origin and development of this dynasty, leaving only the page of its sudden demise."

"That is, on a certain day eight hundred years ago, this once-prosperous dynasty disappeared overnight without any warning."

"No one can explain why, and all records about it have been erased, as if it never existed."

"Those powerful Saint-level Ghost Masters, who were capable of moving mountains and filling seas, plucking stars and seizing the moon, also disappeared, as if they had vanished into thin air."

"After the Great Zhou Dynasty disappeared, the world fell into a period of chaos that lasted for a hundred years."

"Various forces fought each other, heroes vied for supremacy, and it was a scene of bloodshed and chaos."

"Ultimately, the seven most powerful lords rose from the ruins and established the seven kingdoms we know today."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hanzhou's expression remained unchanged.

Clearly, in the ten years since he came into this world.

He already knew this information through various channels.

It seems the other party has gone a bit off-topic.

Is this related to the fact that the cultivation technique he created will destroy the world?

Just as Lin Hanzhou was thinking this, the young man in black spoke again.

"This history may seem normal, but it actually contains hidden mysteries."

"For example, how exactly did the once-powerful Great Zhou Dynasty disappear so quietly?"

There are many explanations for this, the most widely circulated being that the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the combined forces of the seven powerful vassal states.

"This claim is clearly untenable and has no basis whatsoever."

"Let's not even talk about how powerful the Great Zhou Dynasty was back then."

"To put it simply, when the Great Zhou Dynasty disappeared, the so-called Seven Great Warlords might not have existed yet."

"The seven great vassal states were born out of the struggle for power among various warlords, and this struggle for power only began after the fall of the Zhou Dynasty."

"This most basic time logic is flawed."

"The real reason for the demise of the Great Zhou Dynasty was its strangeness."

"It was these strange creatures that destroyed the once-powerful Great Zhou Dynasty."

Hearing this statement that would overturn the entire history of the world, Lin Hanzhou looked thoughtful.

He clearly hadn't expected this answer.

Given the current state of this world and their bizarre strength, they absolutely cannot destroy the legendary Great Zhou Dynasty.

The young man in black seemed to have seen through his thoughts and then spoke.

"I know you'll find this hard to believe, but it's really true."

"The world we live in is incredibly vast, beyond imagination."

"I can tell you definitively that the region where the seven kingdoms are located only accounts for one-tenth of the entire world."

"And the remaining nine-tenths is a completely bizarre area."

"The strange events that destroyed the Great Zhou Dynasty originated from this place."

"They are nothing like the petty anomalies we are encountering today."

The young man in black paused, seemingly considering his words, before speaking slowly.

"Those strange beings are incredibly powerful. There are countless Earth-rank strange beings, a considerable number of Heaven-rank strange beings, and even Saint-rank strange beings exist."

"Above those Saint-level mysteries lie seventy-two more terrifying mysteries, known as the Seventy-Two Mysterious Gods!"

"The strength of each of the Ghost Gods far surpasses that of ordinary Saint-level Ghost Masters."

"The strange event that destroyed the Great Zhou Dynasty was caused by several strange gods working together, which devoured all the Ghost Masters who had reached the Saint rank at that time."

"This is the truth behind the silent disappearance of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

His words struck the hearts of his listeners like a heavy hammer, sending chills down their spines.

"Those strange gods reside in a region forever inaccessible to humans; it is a paradise for the supernatural, but a forbidden zone for human life!"

"They are high above, like gods standing on the clouds, looking down on all living beings in this world."

"They use the heavens and earth as their prison, regard all living beings as food, and wantonly trample on the dignity of life."

At this point, the young man in black's voice became incredibly cold and heavy.

"To the human race today, the entire territory of the Seven Kingdoms is just a huge breeding ground."

"And we are the prey raised by those strange gods, while the invading monsters add to our sense of crisis and urge us to grow."

"They will come to harvest when the time is right."

"As the ones who feed on blood, the faster and stronger we grow."

"The time for them to reap our harvest will only come sooner or later."

"Now you know why I said the martial arts technique you created will destroy this world, right?"

"For me, the human race is my whole world now."

"If humanity is wiped out by the evil gods again, my world will be destroyed."
