Chapter 1420 - 1420 Crisis of the Epoch!
1420 Crisis of the Epoch!
“Oh? Why is that?”
Lin Feng was a little surprised, not knowing why Supremacy Vicissitude would say that.
“Heh, actually, how can the great Chiliocosm Sovereigns of the medium chiliocosm be as idle as you imagine? Take our Opulent Lodge as an example. Do you think your small chiliocosm is the only one? That’s simply a huge mistake. The Chiliocosm Sovereigns of the Opulent Lodge wage war in dozens or even hundreds of small chiliocosms! If not for the imminent Epochal Cataclysm, the great Chiliocosm Sovereigns would not have allowed us to descend so quickly in this small chiliocosm. To put it simply, the Opulent Lodge can no longer spare more people now. They have all been sent to other small chiliocosms. Some of the small chiliocosms are in dire straits, and their situations are far more urgent than here.
“The lifespans of the great Chiliocosm Sovereigns are infinite. They are great and powerful, transcendent, and do not calculate the gains and losses of a city or a territory. At most, they will be put aside. Only when there is time in the future, or when other experts leave other small chiliocosms and have the time, will people descend into this small chiliocosm again. However, you have to hurry. No matter what, before the Epochal Cataclysm arrives, the Chiliocosm Sovereigns will definitely take action. They will even send down powerful Three-star Supremacies!”
Supremacy Vicissitude did not conceal anything. His a.n.a.lysis was also clear, and Lin Feng nodded to himself. However, what really surprised Lin Feng was that Supremacy Vicissitude had also mentioned the Epochal Cataclysm.
Lin Feng had also just learned about the Epochal Cataclysm by accident in the mysterious ancient battlefield. However, Lin Feng did not know what the Epochal Cataclysm was either. Now, Supremacy Vicissitude was just the right person to inquire about it.
After all, Supremacy Vicissitude came from the medium chiliocosm, and was under the command of a powerful Chiliocosm Sovereign. He definitely knew many secrets about small chiliocosms.
Hence, Lin Feng stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, “Supremacy Vicissitude, you mentioned the Epochal Cataclysm just now. I only learned a little about the Epochal Cataclysm not long ago. What exactly is this Epochal Cataclysm? It’s actually worth the attention of the great Chiliocosm Sovereigns.”
“Oh? The Dark Domain Supremacy actually knows about the Epochal Cataclysm too. That would be best. Actually, the so-called Epochal Cataclysm is the end of an epoch. The destructive tide that sweeps through the entire small chiliocosm is called the Epochal Cataclysm.”
Pausing, Supremacy Vicissitude looked meaningfully at Lin Feng, then continued in a low voice, “Speaking of the Epochal Cataclysm, we have to talk about the epoch. What is an epoch? Actually, I also heard His Majesty the great Chiliocosm Sovereign mention it occasionally. The so-called epoch is actually the process of self-purification by the small chiliocosm. The small chiliocosm has a certain pattern of operation. Every once in a while, it will self-purify, and the Epochal Cataclysm will erupt, destroying everything. Only some Two-star and Three-star Supremacies with special artifacts or special opportunities can resist the Epochal Cataclysm, and continue to survive until the next epoch.
“But even so, that’s just struggling at death’s door. They’re only temporarily out of danger. Every Epochal Cataclysm is abnormally dangerous. Three-star Supremacies can naturally survive it safely. However, it’s hard to say for Two-star Supremacies. Every time, there are very few Two-star Supremacies who can survive it, and there’s no guarantee that they can survive the next Epochal Cataclysm safely either.”
Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. He already vaguely understood how the ancient battlefield came to be.
Those powerful ent.i.ties in the ancient battlefield were all peak Two-star Supremacies. Why did they go to war, even at the cost of their lives?
In the past, Lin Feng did not know. But now, Lin Feng had come to a realization. He understood everything now. It was for the Three-star Boundary Stone, so that one could become a Three-star Supremacy, and safely survive one after another Epochal Cataclysm.
Even though Two-star Supremacies theoretically had infinite lifespans and could do whatever they liked, when the Epochal Cataclysm arrived, everything would be reduced to ashes. They would dissipate and be completely destroyed.
This was what those peak Two-star Supremacies were unwilling to accept. Hence, they were willing to risk everything to fight for the Three-star Boundary Stone. It was how that tragic ancient battlefield came to be.
However, Lin Feng could also guess that the Two-star Supremacies in that ancient battlefield should be experts from the previous epoch, or from a few epochs ago. The Supremacies who had not obtained the Three-star Boundary Stone had most likely already fallen in the Epochal Cataclysm.
“Can a Three-star Supremacy survive forever?”
Lin Feng’s voice even fluctuated slightly. He was not calm after hearing such a shocking secret.
“Heh, keep living? In theory, that’s the case, but there will eventually be a time when the small chiliocosm comes to an end. According to the Chiliocosm Sovereigns, a small chiliocosm only has nine epochs, and each epoch is 1296 billion years! Once the nine epochs end, the small chiliocosm will also be completely destroyed. At that time, be it Two-star Supremacies or Three-star Supremacies, as long as they stay in the small chiliocosm, they will all be reduced to ashes and be buried with the small chiliocosm.”
“Nine epochs…”
Lin Feng fell silent. His heart was a little heavy, because he did not know how many Epochal Cataclysms this small chiliocosm had experienced, and how many epochs it had been.
As if he knew what Lin Feng was thinking, Supremacy Vicissitude shook his head and heaved a long sigh. “Dark Domain Supremacy, I’ve also come step by step from a small chiliocosm to where I am today, so I naturally understand your concerns. Actually, none of us are willing to descend to this small chiliocosm, because this is already its ninth epoch. In other words, if the Epochal Cataclysm arrives, it will be the final great destruction. This small chiliocosm will cease to exist.”
Lin Feng’s heart sank. As expected, this small chiliocosm was already experiencing the ninth epoch, and great destruction was imminent. At that time, be it Two-star or Three-star Supremacies, as long as they were still in this small chiliocosm, there would be no difference for them in the Epochal Cataclysm. They would all be reduced to ashes.
“Is there any way to resolve it? Stop the Epochal Cataclysm of the small chiliocosm from happening, for instance.”
Lin Feng felt bitter. No matter what, this small chiliocosm was where he was born, his home. Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to see his home reduced to ashes and cease to exist.
“There’s no solution! Even His Majesty the Chiliocosm Sovereign is powerless in the face of such Epochal Cataclysms! This is a natural cycle, a predestined order that cannot be stopped. It’s just like the birth, aging, illness, and death of ordinary mortals. In reality, before the unseen principles, Controllers like us are born and die just like mortals. It’s just that we live longer than mortals.”
Supremacy Vicissitude also lamented. After all, he was also a Controller, great and powerful, but in the face of the Epochal Cataclysm, he was just a speck of sand, completely inconspicuous.
“No, there must be a solution. Otherwise, how could you have survived until now?”
Lin Feng suddenly lifted his head, and a sharp glint flashed across his eyes.
