Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2124: Chapter 2168: The Truth of the Dark Tide

Jiang Fan showed a look of confusion.

Are the dark tides related to the ancient dark creatures?

He fell into contemplation.

Before the ancient giants invaded, there were three sayings circulating in Central Earth.

Some say they were drawn in when the Ancient Saint of Yunhuang established Central Earth ten thousand years ago.

Others say it was when the Heavenly Realm fragmented and they took the opportunity to invade.

There is also a saying that when the Hell Realm attacked the Heavenly Realm, the strong of the Heavenly Realm, unwilling to accept defeat, cast a curse that descended upon them.

However, with Jiang Fan’s understanding of the worlds of the heavens.

He knows that besides the ancient giants, there are also ancient blood demons and the most dangerous ancient dead souls.

Moreover, he understands that all of the hundred realms of all heavens face the threat of ancient dark creatures, and not only Central Earth is facing them.

So, how exactly the ancient giants came to be is a mystery.

He shook his head and asked, "Is it possible that the ancient dark creatures are related to the dark tides?"

Thinking of the term "darkness" in both, Jiang Fan began to speculate.

The woman in a green robe looked at the Void Map projected in mid-air and gently hooked her finger, causing a wisp of blood to drill out from the ground.

"Watch carefully!"

She pointed with her finger, and the blood fell on the location of the Divine Capital, then surged like a tide in all directions.

The worlds and creatures it passed over were stained with the blood.

Jiang Fan initially did not understand the significance.

Soon after, he suddenly realized and exclaimed in disbelief:

"You mean, the ancient dark creatures descended upon the hundred realms of all heavens with a tide from the Divine Capital?"

The woman in a green robe replied, "To be precise, it is from a hidden world above the Divine Capital!"

Jiang Fan was astonished.

Is there a hidden world not shown on any Void Map?

Wait!

He suddenly recalled a place that couldn’t be found on the Void Map!

He swallowed and said, "Is the hidden world you’re talking about called..."

"The Source of Evil?"

The woman in a green robe looked surprised: "You know of this place as well?"

"However, it has many names, and the Source of Evil is just one of them."

"Some call it the Space-Time Wilderness."

"Others refer to it as the Land of Ultimate Return."

"I call it the Eye of Darkness!"

"Because all dark creatures originate from that hidden world."

"The disasters and sufferings of the hundred realms of all heavens for ten thousand years all originate from there!"

It took Jiang Fan a long time to digest such significant information.

The origin of the ancient giants that troubled him for so long finally had an answer.

It seems that the Ancient Heart Sage, who initially asserted that the Source of Evil was the root cause of Central Earth’s suffering, discovered the true origin of the ancient giants.

Unfortunately, no one believed him at that time.

It wasn’t until after the Great War that the sages of Central Earth gradually came to understand and eventually rushed to the Source of Evil one after another.

After a brief pause, Jiang Fan continued:

"When you mentioned the dark tides, do you mean another similar tide will bring more ancient giants?"

If so, then the hundred realms of all heavens would once again face an invasion by ancient dark creatures.

Calling it a catastrophe for all heavens and the earth isn’t an exaggeration.

But, isn’t it not so desperate?

In ten thousand years, haven’t the worlds that have survived experienced multiple invasions by ancient dark creatures?

The woman in a green robe did not say much, and once again pointed her finger at the Void Map.

As her fingertip pressed down, all the stained red on the Void Map receded back to the Divine Capital like a tide.

She then solemnly said, "Tide is tide; just as there is a high tide, there is a low tide."

"Ten thousand years ago, it was a high tide, which brought the ancient dark creatures to the hundred realms of all heavens."

"After ten thousand years, it will be a low tide to take the ancient dark creatures back to the Source of Evil."

"An ebb and flow, that is the dark tide."

Jiang Fan suddenly realized!

No wonder this catastrophic event is called the Dark Tides!

So that’s how it is!

His mind immediately became clear, and most of the past mists dispersed.

As the woman in a green robe spoke to this point, her brow also began to furrow: "However, I don’t understand the harm of the receding tide."

"Logically speaking, a tide that takes the ancient dark creatures back should be good for our hundred realms of all heavens."

"But according to those old monsters in the Divine Capital and the Four Great Realms, it’s an epic catastrophe."

"Once it starts, even the Four Great Realms may not be spared."

"The other medium and small worlds will all be reduced to dust."

Jiang Fan also frowned tightly.

So she doesn’t know the harm of the receding tide either.

Nevertheless, being able to learn so much today is truly valuable!

He gratefully said, "Thank you, elder sister, for clarifying things for me."

The woman in a green robe replied with a sense of regret, "What I know is also limited; to learn about the great secrets of heaven and earth, you have to seek guidance from the Four Great Worlds."

"Alright, your questions have been answered; now let me help you comprehend the Fifth Domain."

"Let’s strive to have you attain the position of Great Venerate in my World of Darkness!"

Jiang Fan once again showed gratitude, having a top-level sage to assist him would no doubt make his journey of understanding much smoother.

The woman in a green robe said, "What path have you chosen? Let me see first."

Following her words, Jiang Fan gradually displayed four kinds of domains.

If not full, it will be destroyed; if lacking, it will be filled; brokenness leads to completeness; fix the flaws.

Upon seeing the first domain, the woman in a green robe exclaimed in surprise:

"How is your domain so domineering?"

Princess Yu Yan was also secretly astonished: "If it’s not perfect, it will simply be destroyed, isn’t that too extreme?"

Upon seeing the second domain, both the woman and her daughter were again in awe.

The second domain could actually restore all things, though not domineering, it was indeed extraordinary.

After that, the third and fourth domains also left them in amazement.

The woman in a green robe was amazed: "Fan, what path have you chosen? Why is each domain so extraordinary?"

Princess Yu Yan also cast a curious glance.

Typically, a single path of Divinity Transformation can only nurture one powerful domain.

The remaining four forms are usually supporting domains formed around the first domain.

But Jiang Fan’s four domains were all extraordinarily powerful, without a primary-secondary distinction.

What path of god transformation can simultaneously accommodate so many powerful domains?

Furthermore, Princess Yu Yan finally realized a problem.

That was, from beginning to end, Jiang Fan never revealed a divine ring, as if he was deliberately hiding it.

If it were an ordinary divine ring, would it be necessary to hide it?

Jiang Fan gave a slight smile and said, "It’s just an insignificant little path, don’t take offense, my sister."

Seeing Jiang Fan unwilling to speak, the woman in a green robe stopped questioning and showed a slight bitter smile:

"With your path being so unique, my understanding may not be much help to you."

As she spoke, she pointed her finger at her brow for a long time before condensing many realizations into a light spot the size of a pea.

Jiang Fan still gratefully accepted it and said, "Thank you, sister."

He imprinted the insight into his brow and quietly pondered over it.

Half a day later.

With internal observation, Jiang Fan found that he had only ascended three steps on the altar of the Fifth Domain.

Most of his realizations still stemmed from personally witnessing the Divine Tree extending lost life in another way.

He opened his eyes and saw the woman in a green robe with a look of regret.

Jiang Fan quickly said, "Sister has already helped me greatly, how many people would be willing to give their lifelong insights to others?"

"It’s my own lack of experience and a shortfall in major life realizations."

The woman in a green robe, feeling she owed Jiang Fan too much, offered him a compromise: "Why don’t you stay in my World of Darkness."

"Once I solve the hidden dangers in the World of Darkness, I will accompany you on a journey."

Jiang Fan felt grateful and said, "Sister doesn’t need to worry for me; there are paths I must walk on my own."

"Moreover, I need to set off immediately for the next world that requires a Peace Monument and cannot delay any longer."

Hearing this, the woman in a green robe asked concernedly, "Which world are you planning to visit?"

Jiang Fan glanced at the Void Map and found one of the nine worlds that was nearest, and said:

"The Earth Realm!"
