Ch.596 Chapter 596 Rightfully - Rebirth of the Namel...

âThis was the very first case of Heat Death. The balance of the universe had been thrown into an imbalance with Gama energy being used in a way it shouldnât beâ¦ Because the life force of mortals were being forcefully extended, that usable energy wasnât being recycled into the reincarnation cycle like it should. As a result, it was very quickly becoming unusable as more and more cultivators came into beingâ¦

âOnce energy becomes unusable, itâs impossible to revert it back to its original form. As a result, the fate of a universe that accumulates too much of this energy is only death. Itâs doomed to collapse in on itself, erasing itself from existence.

âHowever, too few have the perspective to understand thisâ¦ It takes trillions of years for a universe to collapse from accumulation of this energy. The number of generations that pass through in that time would be astronomical, even in cultivation families. In fact, your mortal realm is the first time Iâve ever heard of a population of people grasping this concept so quicklyâ¦ Yourâ¦ âscienceââ¦ Is truly remarkable although this observation was facilitated by the circumstances your universe has been put throughâ¦â The strange light shone in the 25th White Motherâs eyes as she seemingly struggled with something.

âBy the time cultivators began to understand that they were responsible for the collapsing of their universes, the culture of seeking immortality was too firmly entrenched to root out completely..

âIf a single family took it upon themselves to cease cultivating, it would only be a window for another to take advantage, reaffirming themselves as rulers for the sake of short term benefits instead of long term prosperityâ¦

âToo many adopted this nonchalant âI donât careâ philosophyâ¦ Too many believed that since their heat death was so far in the future, they shouldnât have to care for itâ¦

âIn the end, the spread of cultivation couldnât be stopped. Those who wanted to stop, couldnât for fear of being unable to protect themselves and their family. And those who didnât care from the beginning continued to push themselves to greater heights stillâ¦

âHowever, Heat Death was a problem we all have to face eventually. For those families successful enough to survive to the final days of their universe, this became the biggest problem imaginableâ¦

âWould they simply resign to their fate? Allowing the legacies they had built over billions of years crumble in front of them as the last members of their families died to the collapsing of their universes?

âThe answer was no, of courseâ¦â The 25th White Mother sighed.

âThese families began searching for an answer to their questions. They covered everything from researching methods to restore unusable energy to disgusting cult methods of sacrifice and suffering.

âUnfortunately, the solution that these families eventually found was a mere patch on the hull of a shipâ¦ It didnât truly fix anything, it only delayed the problemâ¦ And that was of course conquering universesâ¦

âAt the time, the existence of universes other than your own wasnât entirely proven. However, the moment it was, there was inflex of inter-dimensional travel and with that came universe shattering warsâ¦

âBecause this was the time before the gates, the investment necessary to attack another universe was heavy, and therefore, thankfully, rare.

âHowever, as cultivators became more and more efficient in their martial path, shattering inter-dimensional barriers became as easy as breathing for some, causing these wars to become more and more frequentâ¦

âEventually, it turned from these wars being fought merely for survival, to some of the most vile and wide spread empiresâ¦

âUnfortunately, I am not aware of the history of how the Gates came to be. Although I was aware of the Epistemic Tower, I was never lucky enough to have grand teacher speak directly to me. But, as you know, thatâs because he only recently split his mind to perform this task.â

If Dyon was actively responding to his master, he would have nodded in acknowledgement.

Back in the Epistemic Tower, Dyon had asked his grand teacher why he hadnât warned the Demon Sage that the Timeless Library was nothing but a trap. At the time, his grand teacher told him that he only recently found it worth it to split his mind in such a way.

What Dyon didnât know was that this was because his grand teacher was aware that even the end of his illustrious life was coming to an end.

âNow that you understand how the martial world came to beâ¦ Itâs time I explain to you how your mortal realm became involved in such a thingâ¦

âThe truth of the matter is that the most valuable universes left in existence are ones with populations of people who have yet to comprehend the martial wayâ¦

âThe Gama energy is the most pure. Cultivation resources are the most abundant.

âBecause the universe has yet to be slighted, things like abyssal cores, as you call them, are as plentiful as stars in the sky. The purity of the wills is on a completely other level. Even the world itself it relatively at peaceâ¦

âYour universe used to be as suchâ¦ A world unblemished by martial matters. A world pure in the strictest of sense â untouched by the anger of the universeâ¦

âBut also the object of greed for every martial expertâ¦

âTo conquer a universe like yours would not only be easy beyond belief, it would also give untold benefits for billions of yearsâ¦ Resulting prospering clans and generations for ages to comesâ¦â

Tears glistened in Dyonâs masterâs eyes. The guilt weighing on her heart was as heavy as it came, it was difficult for her to speak these words, to admit the faults of her Ancestors and to lay herself bare in this way. But, compared to what Dyon was going through, it was nothing more than childâs play. So, she perservered.

âThis was our first betrayal of your people. Before even speaking of seals and the stealing of your talentâ¦

âThe first treacherous act against your people was coming to your universe in the first place. Taking away the decision that was rightfully yoursâ¦â
