"In the end, I still died. There have never been any truly immortal and indestructible powerhouses. My existence proves it all. I must not have survived the tribulation of the epochal change back then."
Seeing Li Xiaotian's shocked expression, Yan Yu spoke, a faint, carefree smile on his face.
"This is the current era!"
Li Xiaotian replied and waved his hand, presenting the memories he knew, as an exchange for viewing Yan Yu's memories.
However, he was very cautious and did not present any memories related to Kyushu. After all, his Great Dao of Devouring stored countless memories from others, and he could pick any one.
Yan Yu quietly watched the memories presented by Li Xiaotian, without any defenses. At this moment, if Li Xiaotian were to attack, he would surely heavily injure Yan Yu.
But Li Xiaotian did not attack. He wanted to glean more information from Yan Yu's words.
"Very interesting. Your era should be the Fifth Epoch. However, it's somewhat unexpected that humanity has declined. Before the Third Epoch, humans were the strongest race!"
Yan Yu said faintly, then changed his tone.
"However, there are too few powerhouses in your era."
"Invincible, a very interesting realm. In the Third Epoch, this realm was likely called Immortal!"
"Above Immortal is transcendence. Similarly, above invincible is transcendence."
"But ultimately, all will perish. No one can withstand the erosion of time. Even the most powerful beings are weak before it."
"The God Clan, interesting. They seem somewhat similar to the Heavenly Human Clan of the past. Every epoch is similar. In the Third Epoch, the Heavenly Human Clan was merely a weak race."
"Your era's universe is divided into four regions. Interesting, very interesting. The Eastern Region seems very similar to the Third Epoch."
Yan Yu muttered to himself, but his words continued to shock Li Xiaotian.
The era he was currently in was the Fifth Epoch, and above invincible was transcendence, yet they all eventually died, defeated by time.
Of course, what shocked him even more was that everything he learned today was utterly unbelievable, shattering all his previous perceptions. At the same time, he was extremely puzzled. Why did people in the current era not know these truths?
Sixth-tier powerhouses were already considered quite powerful in the universe. Without higher-tier beings appearing, they were almost invincible. Yet, they knew nothing of this. Could it be that someone was hiding the truth?
"I can guess why you don't know the truth."
Yan Yu said faintly, looking at Li Xiaotian, and then continued.
"The God Clan cultivates using the power of faith. The entire Western Region, all worlds, are ruled by the God Clan. And in the worlds they rule, including the powerhouses, they all have faith in the God Clan, or rather, in the God Clan's most powerful being."
"If everyone knew the truth, knew that the universe would eventually be destroyed, knew about the epochal changes, what would their reaction be?"
"They would strive, they would make themselves stronger, attempting to survive the destruction of the future universe!"
"And with such thoughts, all powerhouses would find ways to become stronger. If there are many powerhouses, this era would be much more lively."
Yan Yu said with a smile, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.
Li Xiaotian also suddenly understood. The God Clan needed the power of faith, and that was why they concealed the truth. Because once too many powerhouses knew the truth, they would lose their reverence for the God Clan.
Everyone would die, so why should they be constantly ruled by you? Why should they accept your enslavement?
Kyushu had always been resisting the God Clan, so Li Xiaotian had never held any reverence for the God Clan, let alone faith. But he knew what the worlds ruled by the God Clan were like.
