“For the next few epochs, we and Heaven tried our utmost to stop those otherworldly invaders, but we would ultimately fail. And after these repeated failures… Heaven changed.”
Origin Supreme sighed.
Wang Chong felt his heart thump as Origin Supreme continued to speak.
“I don’t know what happened to Heaven, but not long afterward, the Purification plan was born, and it was at that point that the twelve Supremes broke up.”
“What is the Purification plan?” Wang Chong asked.
Despite experiencing it once, Wang Chong was still confused over the Purification plan.
“Have you heard the story of how Yu the Great tamed the floods?” the Arab High Priest suddenly butted in.
Bang!
Wang Chong felt like he had been struck by a bolt of lightning, his body trembling in shock.
The Purification plan?
Yu the Great taming the floods?
Could it be…
“It seems that you understand. No creature or thing can escape the cycle, can escape death—no plants, trees, or humans, or even the world. It is destroyed again and again, reborn again and again. No matter what we did, we couldn’t change it.”
Origin Supreme’s voice echoed through the stone chamber as he slowly closed his eyes and thought back to that long-ago era.
“No one knows what the objective of the otherworldly invaders is, only that they will utterly destroy the world before disappearing, a cycle that repeats without end.”
Wang Chong said nothing as he thought back to his own memories.
For others, Origin Supreme’s words were just a description, but Wang Chong had truly experienced it.
The earth crumbling away, the blood and fire gushing out, the ground covered in corpses—a hellish landscape emerged in Wang Chong’s mind, a pain that he would never be willing to recall.
“…Perhaps because of our numerous failures, Heaven lost confidence and decided to carry out the ‘Purification’ plan. Since the otherworldly invaders sought to destroy the world, it would be better to simply purify the human world.
“Destroy the majority of humanity before the otherworldly invaders could, and leave only a minority to serve as seeds for the new world, the sowing of new civilizations. In this way, we could preserve as much civilization from each epoch as possible.”
Origin Supreme’s voice gradually weakened, this conversation seeming to take a great deal of his energy.
“At the time, this plan attained the support of Essence Supreme, Genesis Supreme, Grand Supreme, and Radiance Supreme, but I and a few others could not accept it.
“To wipe out so many lives, annihilate tens of millions of people, and transform the thriving human world into a silent hell… How was what we were doing any different from the otherworldly invaders?
“But this was not the most important. What was most important was that we discovered that Heaven was gradually turning cruel and emotionless, even losing any affection for humans. For him, those beings in the world were the same as ants. He was no longer the same person.
“As our ideals differed, because we could not approve of Heaven’s plan, the twelve Supremes broke up.
“I left the Celestial God Organization a long time ago. After me, others also left the Celestial God Organization, all of them with their own resolves, so they used different methods,” Origin Supreme sternly said.
“And the others?” Wang Chong asked. “Senior said that you were not the only person to leave the Celestial God Organization.”
The Supremes had parted ways!
If more than one had left the Celestial God Organization, it meant that if he could find the other Supremes, he could join with them to resist Heaven.
This was the best news Wang Chong had heard in a while.
“You are not unfamiliar with some of them, though they do not call themselves Supremes.
“You should know of Ü-Tsang’s Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple, yes? That is the hiding place for one of the Supremes. His name is ‘Unity Supreme’,” Origin Supreme solemnly said.
“The High Monk of the Holy Temple?”
Wang Chong raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Almost everyone knew of the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple. If Heaven had been seeking out those rebellious Supremes, there was no reason for him to not know of that place.
After all, the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple was far more obvious than Origin Supreme, who was hiding away in this tiny space.
“Unity Supreme joined Heaven even earlier than me, and when Unity Supreme’s epoch perished, it produced an enormous ritual tool that he refined into his personal divine tool.
“He used that ritual tool to cover the entirety of the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple. In that region, Unity Supreme can harness the entirety of the Tibetan Plateau’s earthly energy and also suppress the strength of other Supremes.
“Thus, even though Heaven knew that Unity Supreme was there, neither Genesis Supreme nor Essence Supreme dared to approach him,” Origin Supreme said.
