Pang Jian stayed in Yunze for the next few days.
Those ancient trees that had risen into the sky had long since been returned to their original places by the power of the small trees, and the swamp had returned to its former tranquility.
Without the need for strenuous breathing exercises, relying only on pills and rare treasures, Li Yuqing's condition is getting better day by day.
Under the lush green trees, there are always tables and chairs, and there is never a shortage of various cooked food, braised meat, and drinks.
A young couple was drinking and chatting under a tree, and the spirit form of the Erosion Vine would occasionally interject.
Pang Jian seldom stayed in Yunze for a long time, and she enjoyed this rare time very much. As a result, her attitude towards Li Yuqing became much better.
That day, Pang Jian talked about what the Insighter said, the grand event that encompasses many worlds that takes place once every 100,000 years.
"The true gods of the first realm and the most powerful forces actually have feelings."
Li Yuqing twisted the exquisite silver wine pot and nibbled on a juicy peach, saying, "Every time Purgatory opens, there is a sign."
Pang Jian was surprised: "What omen?"
"Geniuses are emerging several times more, and the speed of breaking through realms is getting faster. Ferocious beasts, it, there are many strange flashes that emerge in an endless stream." Li Yuqing looked at the small tree and said a word that Pang Jian had heard before: "The ancient alien gods in the outside world called Purgatory the God and Demon Trial Field, which is the earliest one."
Pang Jian's expression changed: "I have heard such a statement as well."
"I don't understand the specific situation, I just know that our world is extremely special." Li Yuqing pondered and said slowly: "In short, whenever geniuses appear one after another, the old generation dies faster, and the replacement of the old and the new becomes faster, Purgatory will open soon."
"Accompanied by this, the alien gods from the foreign domains will cast their attention on Purgatory. When the powerful aliens and the evil hidden in the dark come out one by one, Purgatory will experience violent turmoil."
"A stagnant peace can neither produce a truly powerful person nor bring forth something new and fresh."
"Only in a harsh environment of killing, chaos, death, despair and oppression can more miracles burst out and the strongest people surpass the previous era emerge."
"The strongest people of the human race, spirit beasts, and alien races will be cultivated very quickly during this period."
"Perhaps, this is the special feature of the God and Demon Trial Field."
Her eyes were bitter as she added, “Generation after generation of true gods have risked their lives to enter the strange fog to explore, and they all feel that the purgatory known as the God and Demon Trial Field was created intentionally by someone.”
"Purgatory has been a huge cage since its existence, imprisoning all living things in the world."
She paused and continued, "As for the grand event you mentioned that happens once every 100,000 years, we humans probably haven't experienced it yet. This is because our history of rising to prominence is less than 100,000 years."
"but… "
She pondered carefully, and then said, "You and I, as well as Zhou Yi, Fan Chen, Liu Youyu and others, have reached the Soul Wandering Realm at such a young age. This would be extremely unreasonable in the past."
Pang Jian was shocked: "We benefited from the great changes in Purgatory Heaven and Earth?"
"Well, it's still an unprecedented change!"
Li Yuqing took a deep breath and said seriously, "According to the records of our Li family, when Purgatory was opened before, there were no such exaggerated young high-level practitioners emerging as we are. It's as if they are forcing the older generation to abdicate."
"In the past, those who were able to advance to the Soul Wandering Realm before the age of 100 were extremely rare geniuses."
"Now, you, me, and those few people can enter the Soul Wandering Realm at around 30 years old. This is something the older generation couldn't even imagine."
"Currently, most of the True Gods who stand at the pinnacle of combat power are dazzling geniuses who emerged in the era when Purgatory was opened up."
"Our appearance can no longer be explained by miracles; it can be called a miracle."
Li Yuqing raised her head with a dazed look, looking at the dark sky covered by thick leaden clouds, which would never be filled with the light of the sun and the moon.
She said in a dreamy voice: "There is some kind of heavenly law that is above the strange fog, controlling all the worlds that exist in the strange fog, and composing new charters and rules."
She is intelligent and has gained such insights because of the broad knowledge she gained through the Li family.
Pang Jian took a sip of wine and frowned.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Sun Bin's expectation for Pang Lin before he took him away - to be promoted to Dongxuan within a hundred years.
Obviously, Sun Bin viewed Pang Lin based on his existing ideas.
In his eyes at that time, Pang Lin was an excellent seed for cultivation because he possessed a natural lightning vortex, but he should not be as good as a peerless monster like Li Yuqing.
For someone like Pang Lin, Sun Bin felt that it was quite reasonable for him to be promoted to the Profound Realm after a hundred years.
Later, due to Tianfeng Shengu's initiative to surrender, Pang Lin's potential suddenly increased.
But now, he has far surpassed the Dongxuan realm due to his experience in the Juetian Forbidden Land, and Pang Lin should be about the same.
Pang Jian pondered and said in a deep voice: "You mean, current events are shaping people?"
"Yes, we have caught up with the worst and best era." Li Yuqing smiled and said, "The worst is that the situation we face will be more dangerous than any other era. After all, in the past, there has never been a scene where foreign races directly poured into Purgatory."
"It is even more impossible that a foreign god has come in his true form."
"No one can tell whether a more terrible situation will occur in the future."
"The best thing is that we are also growing at a speed that the older generation can't match. Even if the older generation dies, we can quickly take their place. Moreover, once we become true gods, we should be stronger than the older generation!"
Li Yuqing, who knew more of the inside story, sighed.
"The way out is only outside the sky? Is it not possible to stay in the sky?" Pang Jian asked curiously.
"no."
Li Yuqing shook her head, her face full of solemnity, and answered the question seriously: "The replacement of the old and new True Gods is imperative! You and I, who have emerged, and some others have greater potential and abilities. When we are successfully deified, we will definitely be able to surpass them, which will greatly enhance the overall strength of the True God of Purgatory!"
"Only when the combat power of the new True Gods increases dramatically, can we face the harsh environment of Purgatory."
"And they ..."
Li Yuqing was silent for a while, then said, "There is a limit to the number of god positions. If they don't leave, if they don't leave Purgatory, they will occupy the god positions and block the way for those who come after them."
"If they don't break out of Purgatory, new gods won't emerge in large numbers. This is fine in peaceful times."
"But now, the alien races have taken advantage of the infection of the filthy alien power to become stronger, and there are also alien gods from other regions to cooperate with them. They cannot break through themselves if they stay in Purgatory, and they occupy the position of the next generation of stronger true gods. If they don't leave... that means the human race in Purgatory will be exterminated together."
"So, they have to leave this time even if they don't want to."
Li Yuqing told this horrifying and cruel fact.
Pang Jian also looked up at the sky with excitement.
His master, Li Zhaotian, had never told him this inside story, never told him that the position of the gods in Purgatory also had its limits, and never explained in detail the unsolvable problems faced by the true gods.
In the outer galaxy, because the Temple of the Gods was destroyed by the true gods of mankind, the gods have been killing all the true gods who stepped out of Purgatory.
A true God, at the moment of breaking through the heavenly ban, must bite the bullet and face the battle.
Stepping out of purgatory is a life-threatening and dangerous journey.
If they don't leave, they will block the path for the rise of more powerful true gods. If they don't leave and vacate the throne, the new true gods will not be able to forge their path to godhood.
Without the rise of a stronger new true god, they may not be able to handle the serious situation in Purgatory, which will lead to the disappearance of the human race from Purgatory.
"I didn't expect that the true gods who are high above and dominate the people of Purgatory would also have difficulties." Pang Jian muttered, and said, "No wonder the council of the true gods lasted so long a while ago."
He could imagine a group of old guys gathered together with gloomy faces.
"Oh, by the way, how much do you know about the Heaven-reaching Tribulation Pillar? In Bagua City, there was a copper box, do you remember it?" Pang Jian asked, changing the subject.
Li Yuqing was surprised and asked, "Why are you asking about the Qiankun Tiandi Box?"
"That thing, it's not on you, is it?"
Her eyes suddenly became sharp.
Pang Jian quickly shook his head and rejected it: "Just asking casually!"
"There are seven pillars of heavenly calamity, and seven things that can suppress things, but I only know that the Qiankun Heaven and Earth Box is the most important, and I don't remember the other names." Li Yuqing frowned, thought about it carefully, and said: "My father told me that the Qiankun Heaven and Earth Box can reach the sky and the dark world, and it contains the universe."
“That’s why it’s called the Heaven and Earth Box.”
"This thing..."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "It is said that a mysterious god left behind this object to suppress the Seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars when they were successfully forged."
"Because of the disappearance of this object, the seven pillars of heavenly tribulation in the fifth realm will have problems one after another."
"It is the most important part of the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar. It is more important than the other six items combined."
"The first time I went to the lower world, I was also looking for the Qiankun Heaven and Earth Box. I wanted to bring it back to Bagua City. Unfortunately, even if I get the Qiankun Heaven and Earth Box now, it's too late."
She sighed helplessly.
Pang Jian said nothing, his mind full of thoughts.
Through Li Yuqing's explanation, he finally understood why he could look up at the outer galaxy when he entered with the "Gate of Purgatory", but why he felt as if he was in the endless darkness below Purgatory when he entered without the "Gate of Purgatory".
It turns out that the Qiankun Heaven and Earth Box is also a relic left by the World God.
The two have always had the deepest connection!
He immediately made up his mind that he must not say a word to Li Yuqing about the copper box and the copper medal, lest the true god of the upper world put the blame of the rising alien race on him.
"If the box hadn't disappeared, could everything have been avoided?" Pang Jian asked weakly again.
Li Yuqing shook her head. "It is unavoidable. Even if the Heaven and Earth Box disappears, there will be other events that will happen. Since the existence above the strange fog has defined Purgatory as a trial ground for gods and demons, and since the grand event that happens once every 100,000 years has arrived."
"So, everything that is happening now is still destined to happen."
