The first, second, third, and fourth pages of the Myriad Races Atlas introduced the celestial, immortal, demon, and mortal races respectively. Moreover, the four races had something in common. They had all risen during the third Great Dao era, and had all disappeared from the nine zones at the end of the eighth Great Dao era.
The celestial and immortal races had completely disappeared.
The demon race had left behind mixed-blood descendants that were still active in the nine zones.
The monster race's overlord tribes had disappeared from the nine zones, but still had many other tribes that were still active in the nine regions.
From the information contained within the introductions, the four races were all very powerful, though from the introduction, it seemed that the immortal race had the advantage."Despite experiencing challenges, they remained exalted and mighty."
This line of text in the introduction indicated that, although the immortal race had encountered challenges, they had always been exalted and mighty and had not suffered a major setback.
Compared to the "ups and downs"of the celestial race, the status of the immortals was much more stable.
Moreover, aside from being revered, they were also yearned for.
"They went through many battles, but were never destroyed."
The demons were obviously good at fighting, though they seemed to be slightly weaker than the immortals and celestials.
No matter what, the immortals, celestials, demons, and monsters were all incomparably powerful and had experienced several Great Dao eras.Chu Xuan estimated that, since the celestials appeared on the first page, they should have risen before the other three races.
However, the race described on the fifth page had exceeded Chu Xuan's expectations.
"The human race appeared during the middle of the third Great Dao era. They were at the bottom of the hierarchy. They suffered the oppression of the myriad, but were tenacious and indestructible. They rose to prominence at the end of the eighth Daoyuan, and are still active in the nine zones since the beginning of the ninth Great Dao era. They became the overlord of the nine zones at the end of the seventh Daoyuan, and then monopolized five zones..."
The race on the fifth page was actually the human race.
They had appeared a little later than the other four races, and their status was low. Thanks to that, they had always suffered oppression. However, they rose to prominence at the end of the eighth Great Dao era and are active in the nine zones during the current Great Dao era. At the end of the seventh Daoyuan, they became the overlord of the nine zones!
Currently, the human race was the strongest in the nine zones. They monopolized five zones.
The rise of the human race at the end of the Seventh Daoyuan meant that they had emerged victorious during the seventh Great Daoyuan calamity. That period of time seemed to coincide with the rise of the Hong Yuanchu.
He was the great ancestor of the human race, and one of the human experts who had led the human race to the peak.
He had been cultivating for two Daoyuan now.
Therefore, it should be the Ninth Daoyuan now!
Chu Xuan's heart tightened after he finished his calculations. This Great Daoyuan calamity was the ninth Great Daoyuan calamity.
After the ninth Daoyuan, there would be a Great Dao calamity!
He had to increase his strength as soon as possible. He also had to understand how the Great Daoyuan calamity was triggered and what it entailed.
Chu Xuan continued reading and saw the introduction of the mixed-blood demon race, as well as the Netherworld race.
"The Netherworld race rose to prominence during the fifth Daoyuan. They often possessed humans and controlled their bodies. At the end of the seventh Daoyuan, they were defeated by humans. Their fate declined and they hid themselves in the nine zones. Now, they are on the way to extinction..."
Chu Xuan was a little surprised. The Myriad Races Atlas records of the Netherworld race, some of which had been converted to the ghosts, stated that the Netherworld race was on its way to extinction.
That was accurate. Chu Xuan wanted to convert the entire Netherworld race into ghosts. When that happened, would the Netherworld race not be extinct?
Chu Xuan also wanted the Dao realm ancestor of the Netherworld race, You Su, to become a ghost.
Chu Xuan looked up the Earth Spirit race. As expected, the ancestor of the Earth Spirit race was a spirit of the earth vein, and he had created the unique Earth Spirit race.
Moreover, the Earth Spirit race always liked to associate themselves with human geniuses, and they relied on each other.
Currently, the Earth Spirit race was in decline.
Chu Xuan closed the Myriad Races Atlas and turned his attention to the Great Dao Communication Group.
Mo Tu and Ruoxian were still quarreling intermittently. Mo Tu was already becoming complacent, believing that the demon race would definitely rise up.
It was time to get a smurf account in.
The Great Daoyuan Calamity was of great importance, so he had to fully understand it and prepare for it.
It was time for his smurf account, Shuai Potian, to appear.
As the group leader, he should have his own special function in the Great Dao Communication Group, such as private chat, right?
There were some things that were not suitable for chatting in the group.
After all, there were many Dao realm cultivators in the group.
There was no need for them to know the secret of the Great Dao calamity.
Chu Xuan decided to find an opportunity to chat privately with Huang Long and ask if he knew anything about the Great Dao calamity.
If Huang Long was born in this Great Dao era and had never experienced the Great Dao calamity, then he would not know about the Great Dao calamity either.
"Everyone, let's welcome our little friend Shuai Potian."
Chu Xuan sent a message to the group and pulled his alt account in.
The group fell silent.
Shuai Potian?
How handsome was he?
(T/N: Shuai means handsome.)
"Eh, this Great Dao Communication Group is quite interesting. There are even Daoyuan realm expert's here?"
Chu Xuan sent a message using his smurf.
Ying Kong was the first to jump out to welcome him. In any case, he was the weakest in the group, so he was very active. There might be a chance for him to get some benefits?
"Welcome, Fellow Daoist Shuai Potian!"
"Thank you, thank you. Let me introduce myself first."
Chu Xuan began to paint the picture of his smurf account's background.
He was a junior from a super powerful family. He was not particularly strong, and had only reached the sixth level of the Dao realm.
He was definitely a little older, about 3,000 years old.
A 3,000-year-old cultivator at the sixth level of the Dao realm would frighten people, right?
Even the Daoyuan realm experts would be shocked, right?
Chu Xuan muttered in his heart. Was a 3,000-year-old Dao realm cultivator not a little too monstrous?
However, on second thought, he himself was far from reaching a hundred years old, yet he was already at the second level of the Dao realm. His smurf account paled in comparison.
With that thought in mind, Chu Xuan confirmed his persona and background and began to introduce himself in the group chat.
"My name is Shuai Potian. I'm already three thousand years old. My cultivation has reached the sixth level of the Dao realm. My aptitude isn't too bad, right? It's just that the old fellow in my family isn't too satisfied. Sigh!"
Shuai Potian was a pure and innocent little newbie who had never left his house before.
The Great Dao Communication Group went completely silent.
Everyone was doubting life.
A three-thousand-year-old cultivator at the sixth level of the Dao Realm?
His aptitude was not bad?
Then what did that make them?
Worse than trash?
"Shuai Potian, you brat. You're saying that you are only three thousand years old? Don't brag. If you dare to lie to your Grandpa Mo Tu, the consequences will be severe."
Mo Tu was the first to voice his doubts.
"I'm really only three thousand years old. It was pretty difficult for me to cultivate to the Dao realm, okay? My father and the others all reached the Dao realm in a thousand years. My aptitude is lacking compared to theirs."
A look of bewilderment appeared on their faces.
The group fell silent once more.
One thousand years to break through to the Dao realm?
Were they all freaks of nature?
Hong Yuanchu realized that something was not quite right. Was Shuai Potian's family not too terrifying? When had there ever been such a family in the nine zones?
