Chapter 1144: Heavenly Court

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations  Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Regardless of whether living creatures were strong or weak and regardless of their various aspects including culture, background, and character, they all tended to have a great connection to their environment.

Several ten thousand years ago, the martial arts in the Central Continent developed to a great extreme. Everyone practiced martial arts, and almost every top-notch faction could traverse parallel worlds and send their own disciples to other worlds with Nine-Tiered Heavens, striving to clear the trials and progress up the Divine level.

In that golden era, the Central Continent and Miracle World had yet to be connected. Even Venerable Master Zhai Xing had not been born yet. Amongst the Central Continent’s top-notch factions, reaching tier one of the Divine level was merely the beginning.

The Ancient Heavenly Court, that had unified all the top-notch factions, had reached a pinnacle in terms of their influence, strength, and prowess. They had over ten tier nine Divine level existences alone.

They played around with space-time and had control over the law of causation, and their eyes could see through the past and the future.

However, as the number of experts increased, the Central Continent’s space gradually became unsuitable for them despite the fact that it was repeatedly stretched out and compressed to be modified in various ways.

Take for example, the ten or more tier nine Divine level existences. The energies they took in just from engulfing once could place the entire planet in darkness and coldness for over 100 years, entering the Ice Age.

The countless tier eight, seven, or six Divine level experts did not even need to be mentioned. With their existence itself, they would be able to destroy the ecosystem completely when the great mass and high levels of radiation they carried converged. Once there were too many of them, the planet’s environment became unable to recover in time, and the surviving environment for the lower level citizens got increasingly worse.

Moreover, as the environment continued to get destroyed, the ether particles weakened. All sorts of energies were being depleted at a rapid rate, and space-time was plunging down. The cultivating environment for the experts got increasingly worse.

Faced with this situation, a large number of high-level cultivators started to escape the Central Continent and head to other parallel universes to cultivate.

Even the Ancient Heavenly Court was unable to stop such a large-scale escape and immigration. After all, these people were leaving for the sake of their cultivation and future, and no one could compel them to do otherwise. There was also a large number of people within the Ancient Heavenly Court that wanted to leave the Central Continent.

Faced with such divided thoughts, the Ancient Heavenly Court finally made up their mind to leave the Central Continent entirely in search of a world that was more suitable for cultivation.

The Gate of Destinies was created under such a situation.

The painstaking efforts of many experts from the Ancient Heavenly Court, as well as countless resources from the entire Central Continent, were gathered for its creation. Not only did it allow the entire Ancient Heavenly Court to traverse worlds, but it was also able to absorb the energies from planets—all sorts of geothermal energy, radiation, light energy, electromagnetic energy, and other energies—to undergo evolution.

Each time it absorbed the energies, it could rapidly expand the space within it and improve the cultivating environment within the Gate of Destinies.

This meant that although the Gate of Destinies could allow for the transit through universes, its eventual goal was not just to traverse universes. Instead, it was to keep on improving the cultivating environment through the process of engulfing planets as it passed through universes.

The Ancient Heavenly Court’s final goal was to let the Gate of Destinies keep on traversing universes by itself and evolve, eventually evolving into the most outstanding cultivating environment. The goal was for it to be even capable of providing sufficient resources to tier nine Divine level experts, allowing them to attain further breakthroughs.

In fact, the many hellish worlds that Fang Xingjian passed through earlier were all the product of the Gate of Destinies drawing out the planets’ energies.
