Chapter 58: The Forbidden Dominion [1] (1/2)

Tales of the past were meant to serve as beacons and reminders for the descendants after, and there were different ways to live the tales of any epic events of the past.

The most common of them was the words of mouth passed down the generations. But with the passage of time, some important details could be omitted, exaggerated and muddled up.

Records could also be accessed at the market place. There were openly acknowledged stalls which sold records and information of generally known past events. Even though their records were not totally completed, they were good sources of memories of the past.

Also, there were private sources who were selling those records and informations. But they were at exhurbitant prices, and they carried a degree of risks.

Then, we had the clans and the more powerful sects who had more complete records in their archives.

Before the Last-Sages sect elders became their more knowledgeable selves, they had known about the tales of the forbidden lands from the words of mouth passed from generations to generatios. They had also read the vague records written in books that were sold in market stalls. Therefore, they had become acquainted with the ancient tales. And then, after becoming Last-Sages elders, they had accessed the complete archives of the past.

An archives where records of legendary acts and events were kept. They had read the events of the past events recorded in this book from the copy that belong to the sect. That had given them a complete details of the events leading to the establishment of the Phantom-Ghosts realms in the Forbidden Domonion, as well as the nature of the revenants.

The moment the grand elder mentioned the the forbidden dominion and the revenants, the minds of the elders recalled what they had learned about the past of the revenants.

Records of the Revenants.

The records of the revenants commenced with the Forbidden Dominion. It was a vast space once known as the Ageless Dominion, and was located between the Nether plane and the spacetime of the Void. It used to have beautiful landscape, amazing terrain and lovely grasses and trees.

But now, it had turned to a giant landmass of broken terrain smattered with gigantic shrubs and foul-smelling grasses. A nightmare of the grandeur it once had before the grinding changes.

There were different realms in the Fobidden Dominion. Realms with distinguished appearances and qualities. Those realms were the homes of the race of mutated immortals who were banished to the dominion by the cosmic divines. It was there they lived as revenants.

Once normal immortals, they were blinded by their greed for power and quicker path to immortality. Greediness which made them leave the true path of the universe. They abandoned the orderliness, oneness and harmonious laws of creation, and followed a chaotic path fueled by the corrupt nature of greed.
