When Sect Leader Tongtian saw the five Sages take out the four Immortal-killing Swords, he was not surprised. Instead, he was delighted.
The Sages thought that they had removed the imprint of Sect Leader Tongtian in the four Immortal-killing Swords, but they did not know that Sect Leader Tongtian had also buried his consciousness fragments in the four Immortal-killing Swords.
When the five Sages took the four Immortal-killing Swords and were about to turn the situation around and enter Sect Leader Tongtian's body, Sect Leader Tongtian directly contacted the consciousness fragments buried in the four Immortal-killing Swords. Through the consciousness fragments, he was prepared to erase the imprints of the four Sages and regain control of the four Immortal-killing Swords.
When the Sages saw this, they could not help but turn pale with fright. They could not defeat Sect Leader Tongtian.
If Sect Leader Tongtian regained control of the four Immortal-killing Swords, they would not want to live anymore. They would just wash their necks and let Sect Leader Tongtian kill them.
The Sages also understood that the key to victory was in the four Immortal-killing Swords. Whoever could hold the control of the four Immortal-killing Swords in the end would be the final winner.
Therefore, the four Sages who directly controlled the four Immortal-killing Swords followed suit. They also injected their own consciousness fragments into the four Immortal-killing Swords, using their own consciousness fragments to compete with Sect Leader Tongtian's consciousness fragments for control of the four Immortal-killing Swords.
As a result, the battle became a very funny one. It was a battle between the consciousness fragments of the Sages.
Because this battle was too important, no one could afford to lose this battle. The final result was that both sides kept injecting their own consciousness fragments into the bodies of the four Immortal-killing Swords. As a result, there were more and more consciousness fragments in the bodies of the four Immortal-killing Swords. The consciousness fragments belonging to different sides were squeezed together in the end. Under the urging of external forces, they kept attacking, but at the same time, they kept fusing.
In the end, a situation that all the Sages did not expect happened. The consciousness fragments that poured into the bodies of the four Immortal-killing Swords finally fused together and turned into four real consciousnesses. Together with the original spiritual consciousness and memory of the four Immortal-killing Swords, the result was the birth of four new personalities.
I'm sure everyone has guessed that these were the first four Sword Maidens: Slaying Immortal Sword, Slashing Immortal Sword, Trapping Immortal Sword, and Slaughtering Immortal Sword. These four were the ancestors of all Sword Maidens, the first batch of Sword Maidens in this world, and also the most powerful.
After the birth of the four swordladies, the ownership of the four Immortal-killing Swords naturally fell into the hands of the four swordladies. It was no longer under the control of Tongtian and the other five Sages.
And the battle also changed from fighting for the Four Immortal Execution Swords to persuading the Four Immortal Execution Swords.
Whoever could convince the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords to stand on their side would obtain the final victory.
There was no detailed description of how he convinced the other party back then.
However, Guhan knew that Sect Leader Tongtian, who was the original owner of the four Immortal-killing Swords, did not win in the end. Instead, it was the five Sages who persuaded the four Immortal-killing Swords to help them kill Sect Leader Tongtian.
Sect Leader Tongtian was completely enraged when he saw that his original weapon, his personal partner, had chosen to help the enemy in the end. Or rather, he had turned completely dark.
After turning dark, Sect Leader Tongtian once again unleashed an even more powerful force. Even with the help of the four Immortal-killing Swords, the five Sages were still in a stalemate with Sect Leader Tongtian.
They dared not harm the Primary World during their battle, so they could only fight in the Dimensional Worlds. As a result, the aftermath of the battle directly broke through the Dimensional Walls of the Dimensional Worlds, allowing the creatures of the Dimensional Worlds to enter the Primary World through the holes in the Dimensional Walls. This was also the reason why the first batch of Yuan Kou arrived. At the same time, this day was also the day the Great Apocalypse began.
It is worth mentioning that when Yuan Kou first entered the Primary World, there was actually a division between good and evil.
Some of the Yuan Kou, who were born with murderous and sinful thoughts, naturally launched a monstrous massacre on humans. However, there were also some Yuan Kou who did not harm humans. Instead, they chose to help humans, such as Dangma Jojo and Misaka Mikoto. From the beginning, they stood on the side of humans and helped humans maintain the order of the Primary World.
This was also the reason why humans were able to protect the human race from extinction at the beginning of the Great Apocalypse, and even defend Yanjing City in the end.
On the other hand, Sect Leader Tongtian, who was fighting in the Dimensional Space, became stronger as the battle went on. As the human world was destroyed, the strength of the five Great Sages became weaker and weaker. Just as they were about to die under Sect Leader Tongtian's sword, two unknown sword energies suddenly appeared. One sword energy helped Sect Leader Tongtian, and the other sword energy helped the five Sages. The sword energy that helped the five Sages was obviously stronger than the sword energy that helped Sect Leader Tongtian.
The role of these two sword energies should not be underestimated. The balance of the battle was originally only a hair's breadth apart. Once one side received a little more help, the balance would completely tilt to one side.
Moreover, in terms of strength, the sword energy that came to help was actually not weaker than Taishang Laojun and Saint Jie Yin.
As for the sword energy that helped Sect Leader Tongtian, it was at most the power of Goddess Nvywa.
In the end, with the help of this sudden sword energy, the five Sages completely suppressed Sect Leader Tongtian. Just as they were about to kill or seal Sect Leader Tongtian, Sect Leader Tongtian chose to perish together with all of his opponents.
All of his strength exploded in an instant. The five Sages were caught off guard. The three Sages, Saint Zhunti, Heavenly Primogenitor, and Goddess Nvywa, were directly destroyed by the explosion and disappeared completely.
The Qingping Sword and the Four Immortal Exterminating Swords were all blown up like scrap metal. In the end, they returned to the Main World and disappeared.
Only Taishang Laojun and Saint Jie Yin, who were slightly stronger, survived. However, even if they survived, their physical bodies were destroyed. Only a part of their primordial spirit and consciousness fragments maintained their existence. They would probably need to rest for tens of millions of years to recover.
Taishang Laojun and Saint Jie Yin, who survived, were ready to clean up the mess. However, they were horrified to find that Sect Leader Tongtian was actually not completely dead like them. His power had merged with the Dimension Wall of the entire Dimensional World. Without the control of the main consciousness, he would instinctively open the barrier between the Dimension Wall and the Main World from time to time, letting Yuan Kou enter the Main World.
Anyone who entered the Main World through this barrier would be contaminated by the power of Sect Leader Tongtian and become full of killing intent towards humans. This was also the origin of filth.
To put it bluntly, each filth was actually a fragment of Sect Leader Tongtian's consciousness. Sect Leader Tongtian was so powerful that he could even surpass Sages. When the fragment of Sect Leader Tongtian's consciousness was attached to Yuankou's body, it was no wonder that Yuankou completely lost his mind, was completely controlled by the filth, and wanted to kill all human beings.
This filth even invaded the Heavenly Court, Spirited Mountain, and the Dimensional Space where all the indigenous deities lived. It directly contaminated these indigenous deities and turned them into existences like Yuan Kou.
In the end, Sect Leader Tongtian's primordial spirit was still alive and turned into a black crystal. This black crystal was no longer something that Taishang Laojun and Saint Jie Yin, who had lost most of their power, could completely destroy.
Seeing that the originally beautiful human world had fallen to such a state because of their battle back then, Taishang Laojun and the Saint of Reception felt extremely ashamed. Therefore, Taishang Laojun and the Saint of Reception decided to use the Sanzang Book of Changes together to calculate how the future would turn out.
In the end, after spending their origin to calculate, Taishang Laojun and Saint Jie Yin discovered that although the Heavenly Dao had been completely destroyed, the Great Dao of this world still existed.
Moreover, as long as the Great Dao still existed, the power that repaired the world would actively maintain the stability of the world. At the same time, an existence that could save the world would be born, which was the legendary leveler.
At the same time, the two big shots also learned that this was the greatest calamity since the creation of the Main World. It was a calamity that no Sages could escape from.
If this calamity was quelled by the evaluator, this world would continue to exist for a long time and become an eternal world. There would be no need to worry about the destruction of the entire world.
However, if the leveler failed, the entire world would completely disappear. Not a single trace could be found, and no one would be able to survive.
After figuring out these things, Taishang Laojun and Saint Jie Yin decided to use the last of their power to pave the way for the leveler that would be born in the future and make one last effort to save this world.
After a discussion, Taishang Laojun decided to use the last of his power to turn into a zone that was completely isolated from time and space. He sealed the black crystal so that it could no longer directly affect the power that belonged to the Grandmaster of Heaven that was scattered on the Dimension Wall.
On the other hand, Saint Jie Yin chose to do the same thing as the Grandmaster of Heaven. He let all of his power dissipate and attached it to the Dimension Wall, forming the recovery mechanism of the Dimension Wall so that the dead Yuan Kou could return to their original dimensional world.
That was because once the corpses of the Yuan Kou were completely left in the Main World and could not return to their original dimensional world, the original dimensional world would gradually begin to collapse.
In particular, if the protagonist of the original dimensional world died and could not return, the dimensional world would collapse directly.
The entire world itself was constructed from the Main World and countless derived dimensional worlds. Once the dimensional world disappeared, the Main World itself would also be destroyed.
Therefore, in order to maintain the existence of the Main World, Saint Jie Yin had no choice but to use his power to build the final recovery mechanism, which was the dimensional whirlpool, to ensure that the other dimensional worlds could continue to exist stably.
At the same time, Saint Jie Yin injected his last consciousness fragment, which was the Saint's relic that Guhan had obtained, into Vairocana's body.
However, because it was deeply controlled by filth, the power of the Saint's relic was also very weak.
Therefore, although the Saint's relic had entered Vairocana's body, it did not change the fact that Vairocana had been defiled and turned into Yuan Kou. This was also the reason why the Spirited Mountain and humans had been fighting non-stop for hundreds of years. It was not until the defeat in the Alps that the filth in Vairocana's body weakened greatly that the Saint's relic took the opportunity to break through the seal of filth, allowing Vairocana to regain his rationality. At the same time, it told Vairocana everything.
After understanding that all of his subordinates had been misunderstood and controlled, Vairocana made a shocking decision, which was to use his own power to kill all the monks who had been misunderstood and controlled … In other words, the corpses that Guhan and the rest saw on the Spirited Mountain were actually all killed by Vairocana himself.
As Vairocana had originally controlled all the monks' lives, it was only a matter of seconds for him to kill them. This was also the reason why the corpses of the monks maintained a peaceful attitude before they died and did not resist at all. It was because their master had killed them.
However, after killing all of his subordinates, the foundation and willpower of Vairocana's existence were completely destroyed. Vairocana could only rely on the last Saint's relic to struggle at death's door and live in the Spirited Mountain for hundreds of years.
According to the instructions in the Saint's relic, he would wait for the stabilizer to appear and hand the Saint's relic to the stabilizer. At the same time, the stabilizer would know everything that had happened in this world.
After losing the power of the Saint's relic, Vairocana no longer had anything to rely on to survive. In the end, he could only become a piece of human skin.
Similarly, the existence of the Spirited Mountain depended on Vairocana's existence to begin with. Following Vairocana's death, the Spirited Mountain completely returned to nothingness.
This was the source of everything, the reason for the birth of the Great Calamity. After obtaining this Saint's relic, Guhan finally understood the whole story … 1,000 years later, the human race, who had gone through so much suffering and fought for 1,000 years in confusion, finally learned the truth of what had happened back then. It was just that the truth had come a little too late.
After going through all the memories, Guhan could not help but sigh emotionally.
