Chapter 1943: Chapter 865: The Extremely Evil Ones
However, Rod was very aware of the challenges they were about to face, the dark chaos, the tide of the Black Fog, which had destroyed the Ancient Epoch, the Fire Epoch, and might have been the catastrophic event that wiped out the original Epoch.
In the following period, Rod shared everything he saw and understood on Godoyin Sacred Mountain and in the Dream Realm with everyone present, in a way he could express.
As he spoke, the entire Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground was silent, every person’s face turned pale, horror and fear reflected in everyone’s eyes, even Solos was no exception.
"So, the dark chaos didn’t only happen in ancient times."
It wasn’t until long after Rod finished speaking that Solos spoke, his voice piercing in the silent Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.
"The end of all eras is due to its arrival."
Everyone fell into silence, only the scholars who revered knowledge and truth were less affected.
After pondering for a moment, Scholar Amides mused, "From a macro perspective, the catastrophic event exhibits a strange cyclicality. Suppose the demise of the original Epoch was also due to the dark chaos, the tide of black consuming everything, then the second dark chaos led to the fall of the ancient gods and the divine wars. The third dark chaos resulted in the Giant Royal Court battle, which brought about the end of the Ancient Epoch. The fourth dark chaos marked the end of the Fire Epoch."
Professor Bins stated gravely, "And what we are experiencing is the fifth dark chaos."
Qingyu softly asked, "Why does the dark chaos appear periodically? Is there a pattern to it?"
Rod replied, "Based on the knowledge... Uh, the knowledge I have gained, it’s because the Black Fog seeks to erode the Sea of Source."
He restated the prophecy from the skull in another way, emphasizing that the mysterious existence left a message in the prophecy stating, "One must find the cause of the Black Fog’s birth to have a chance at eliminating it and surviving this disaster."
Solos frowned and asked sternly, "Lord Rod, are you certain your special prophecy wasn’t interfered with or distorted?"
Rod nodded. He was in the Dream Realm environment, using the God of Giants’ skull as the guide, with the Book of Eternity as the carrier, sacrificing Giant King Omir’s Residual Spirit to gain the complete final prophecy.
And this last sentence, he speculated it was either left by Royeger or by some god.
The Great Shepherd Leader softly said, "This message is not unknown to us, to eliminate the Black Fog, we must find how the Black Fog was born. But its appearance here carries some special significance."
Amides stated seriously, "According to my understanding, this sentence suggests there is a special method that can reverse or remove the Black Fog."
Everyone fell silent, no one held hope for this; even if such a method existed, it wouldn’t be easy to accomplish. Regarding eliminating the Black Fog, no one harbored illusions; their greatest wish was to survive the catastrophic event, much like humans from previous epochs.
Solos murmured, "So, the cyclical arrival of the catastrophic event is related to the Black Fog eroding the Sea of Source?"
Amides pondered, "It should be like this. The Black Fog cannot be quantized in the Void without concepts of time and space; it must invade the Main Material World to complete the quantization, eroding the Sea of Source."
Rod nodded, "Godoyin Sacred Mountain is the edge of the material and void. Whenever this happens, the infinite Black Fog in the Void will cross Godoyin Sacred Mountain and enter the Main Material World, which is the tide of the Black Fog."
In the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, everyone’s expression was extremely solemn.
The truth of destruction was slowly being revealed before their eyes. For humans surviving in the Dark Epoch, this was the uncertainty that had troubled them for countless years. To unravel its truth was a dream countless people wished to achieve with their blood.
Amides continued, "When the concentration of the Black Fog in the Main Material World reaches a certain threshold, a large-scale quantization will occur, eroding the Sea of Source. This is why ancient human civilizations could survive—the Black Fog seemed to suddenly ebb from their perspective, but that wasn’t the case. The Black Fog didn’t dissipate; it was just eroding deeper layers of the world."
Qingyu softly said, "But why doesn’t the Black Fog continuously erode the Sea of Source? In the Main Material World, its erosion can infinitely spread, infecting and assimilating any existence besides non-spiritual matter. Even if it can’t infinitely spread in the quantized Sea of Source, the Black Fog can keep eroding until it devours the entire world. Why would it return to the Main Material World?"
Amides’ expression turned grave.
"Your Majesty, perhaps the Black Fog’s erosion of the Sea of Source is not that simple. Lord Rod mentioned that eroding the Sea of Source requires immense energy, and this might be why the Black Fog periodically invades the Main Material World."
"If my guess is correct, every time the Black Fog erodes a portion of the Sea of Source, it pollutes a part of the world, proliferating more Black Fog, which likely fills the Void. So, Lord Rod could see the Void full of endless Black Fog while on Godoyin Sacred Mountain."
