Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 856 - 521: The Strange Era

"I have long suspected that the current Ancestor of Early Dawn is no longer the same Ancestor of Early Dawn from before, or in other words, he has been bewitched by someone; he now feels very unfamiliar to me," Huyuan continued.

Meanwhile, within the River of Time, the waves roared, and countless images kept flowing, presenting themselves before everyone.

After the Heart Demon of the Dao was sealed and the struggle among the three disciples of the Dao concluded, the Epoch of Origin returned to a time of peace, beginning its steady and rapid development.

The seven ancestors of the Epoch of Origin also appeared one after another.

The entire epoch flourished immensely.

However, at that moment, no one noticed that the place where the Heart Demon of the Dao was sealed was continuously oozing dark and twisted energy, converting many lost beings into twisted beings.

Or rather, Qing Lan had already noticed the changes in the Heart Demon of the Dao.

But was powerless.

The Heart Demon of the Dao was born within her master’s body, inherently powerful, and extremely difficult to eradicate.

Moreover, as long as there are living beings, as long as there are emotions and desires, as long as there are intricate thoughts, the Heart Demon can never be completely eradicated or destroyed.

The dark and twisted intentions emanating from the Heart Demon of the Dao were, in fact, mostly the inner darkness of the beings of the Epoch of Origin.

The Supreme Ancestor of the Epoch of Origin also discovered the existence of the darkness, and despite multiple purges, all efforts were in vain.

In fact, among the dark and twisted forces, several beings of twisted supremacy were born.

They stood as equals against the Epoch of Origin.

The relentless dark and twisted forces aimed ultimately to engulf the Epoch of Origin.

At the same time, new factions emerged.

Named the Land of Silence and the Time Tower!

These were the forces led by the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning.

The Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning once had a True Spirit escape, and after countless years of recovery, he regained a bit of his power.

He was truly unwilling to accept this fate and could no longer restrain himself.

He wanted to recover quickly, to devour the remnants of the Dao as soon as possible.

Because the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning knew, no matter if it was the senior brother or the master who returned, he would be doomed to die. freёwebnoѵel.com

Thus, the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning took aggressive measures, doing everything he could to build his own forces.

Finally, in the three-way power struggle, the Epoch Cataclysm arrived.

In fact, there was no explicit rule on when the Epoch Cataclysm would arrive.

It began when the epoch reached its peak, at the exact moment when the dark and twisted forces overflowed, starting the battle to engulf the epoch and release the king of the dark.

Now, the rules of the Land of the Forsaken Husk also became mature; it could not stop the arrival of the epoch cataclysm but set up protective mechanisms.

These were the Nine-fold Epoch Cataclysms, each with varying degrees of intensity; it indeed bought time for the epochs, but to no avail.

In this great battle, neither Qing Lan nor the Ancestor of Early Dawn appeared.

Or rather, they were already powerless to handle these matters.

They sacrificed their physical bodies and suffered even worse than the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning.

In the battle between the Epoch of Origin and the dark and secret forces, eventually, the Heart Demon of the Dao made a move, killed Kongzu, and the Epoch of Origin was completely broken and annihilated.

The entire epoch was utterly engulfed.

Then came the second, the third...epoch.

At this time, they discovered that every time an epoch was born, a remnant soul of Lu Yang would appear and be incarnated within the epoch.

Some were strong, some weak, all traversing the journey from beginning to end of the epoch.

They also noticed that every time Mr. Lu Yang’s remnant soul transformed into a being of that epoch, Wuzhu’s predecessor would also manifest a glimmer of spirit light beside him.

Every epoch was the same, every epoch...always following.

Among these epochs were familiar ones like the Epoch of Hundred Refinements, where the Ark of Salvation was sunk, and the Epoch of Reincarnation, where the Six Paths of Samsara were ultimately destroyed...

These epochs were far inferior to the Epoch of Origin, essentially powerless against the infiltration of the dark and twisted force and the interference of secret factions.

Within the dark and twisted forces, the number of twisted supreme beings had reached over a dozen, while the secret factions developed crazily in these epochs, with over twenty supreme combatants.

This plunged into a vicious cycle, where the subsequent epochs had no chance to resist during the epoch cataclysm.

Until...a brand-new epoch was born!

It was still a light dot, radiating with the light of hope.

Just like previous epochs, with no apparent difference.

Even the supreme beings within the dark and the powerful factions of secret forces, and the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning, did not take it seriously.

It was only under the watchful eyes of all beings in the prehistoric world that they distinctly saw a strong fluctuation emanating from Sun Wukong, and a powerful force descended upon that light dot.

Even Huyuan was muttering: "This is an epoch that shouldn’t exist..."

The succession of epochs had become a norm within the Land of the Forsaken Husk.

Those supreme beings had already speculated that there would be a total of eighteen epochs.

The Heart Demon of the Dao knew that when the eighteen epochs were utterly destroyed, he would be completely unsealed.

The Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning also knew that when the eighteen epochs were utterly destroyed, it would be the perfect time for him to devour the remnants of the Dao.

And Qing Lan knew that it was when her master had the greatest chance to return!

This epoch was also very strange.

Because when this epoch emerged, it did not trigger the remnant soul of Lu Yang.

Moreover, after a long time had passed, this epoch was still just a light dot, with only a single being inside contemplating.

This being was a unique life form that Sun Wukong had placed in.

Under everyone’s observation, that life form appeared very peculiar.

It had no actions at all; it was just constantly, endlessly engaged in its own contemplation.
