Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1420 - 2: Realms of Cultivation in the Universe, the Xia Dynasty’s Tragic Ordeal! (Da Zhang)

Zhao Xing nodded. The lifespan limits from the First to the Third Origin Realm (including the effects of various slumber and longevity treasures) range from 1.2 million to 3.6 million years.

Old Yun being able to live to 1.128 million years is actually due to the power of the special treasure, the House of Epoch, not his own natural lifespan.

"Emperor Xia is still alive."

"Your wife, Ni Feng Fairy, is also still alive."

Cloud Sky Dao's eyes brightened. His Emperor was alive, his wife was alive, this was undoubtedly great news for him.

"But, all others are dead."

"Including your mentor, your fellow disciples, the important ministers of the Xia Dynasty—there are barely any friends left alive, maybe two or three, but they are scattered far and wide."

Cloud Sky Dao's heart trembled: "Why, what exactly happened?"

Zhao Xing sighed and said, "At this moment, all the subjects of the Xia Dynasty have been kept captive by a certain Prince of the Demon Race from the Cangyue Demon Country."

Cloud Sky Dao's expression remained calm, but a hint of sadness was revealed in his eyes.

Zhao Xing also felt a bit of reluctance. In the previous life's storyline, Cloud Sky Dao played the role of a 'guide'. Of course, he didn't know much, but at least he had more experience than those from the Xuanhuang Realm.

During his journey to the cosmic starry sky, he taught many people and shared his unique skills with the ascending players without reservation.

Uncertain whether it was fate playing tricks, the cruelty of the cosmic version was reflected in the Xia Dynasty where Cloud Sky Dao resided. In subsequent plots, Cloud Sky Dao painstakingly sought traces of the Xia Dynasty, finally finding the Emperor he was loyal to, only to discover that the Xia Dynasty was ravaged, and the Emperor Xia and his wife had completely forgotten him.

Zhao Xing said gravely, "After the Xia Dynasty's ascension, they encountered evil forces in the Star Realm, and all their treasures were looted."

"Although they narrowly escaped a disaster, the important ministers were dead or injured. Even worse, the news of the Xia Dynasty's recent ascension was spread by the initial looters, leading to many bandits hunting for this juicy target."

"Thus, in the first hundred thousand years, the Xia Dynasty was either fleeing or on the run."

"Due to their wealth being completely plundered and injuries sustained in fierce battles, their cultivation speed slowed significantly. They could only slumber to recuperate, constantly hiding."

"It was in such harsh conditions that only after a hundred thousand years did the Xia Dynasty produce the first Primordial Birth Realm cultivator. The first Origin Realm cultivator was none other than your wife, Ni Feng Fairy."

Cloud Sky Dao couldn't help but clench his fists, fully able to imagine the kind of hardships faced by his loved ones and country.

"In the Primordial Birth Realm, it's hard to even ensure one's own survival; breaking through doesn't solve the immediate predicament. They were in a chaotic and disordered region."

"Thus, the Xia Dynasty could only hide on certain backward Boundary Stars and Star Lands, with only a few strong ones venturing out."

"Fortunately, in the second hundred thousand years, the Xia Dynasty recovered some vitality, with over a hundred reaching the Primordial Birth Realm."

"Emperor Xia and your wife, too, broke through to the Second Origin Realm."

"At this time, the Xia Dynasty was still very weak," Zhao Xing said. "They moved to a Yuan Cave Star System under the Fran Dynasty, intending to develop there for a while before heading to the neighboring Star Shining Ancient Country."

"Yet settling in the Ancient Country wasn't easy; every Ancient Country strictly controls foreign races and population."

"Wanting an Origin Realm individual to become an Ancient Country resident is easy, but bringing others along is not possible. With twenty thousand years having passed beyond the optimal cultivation period, the Xia Dynasty's Origin Realm cultivators appeared ordinary in the eyes of major powers within the Ancient Country."

"After all, reaching only the Second Origin Realm in two hundred thousand years signifies very average aptitude."

"The third hundred thousand years were the Xia Dynasty's years of earning and accumulating wealth."

"The Yuan Cave Star System was more stable than anywhere they had been before. The Fran Dynasty was a major dynasty, with forty-five Third Realm cultivators, over ten thousand Second Realm cultivators, and over ten thousand Boundary Stars."

"However, just as progress was made, the Fran Dynasty encountered war."

"Shortly after, the Fran Dynasty was destroyed by another major dynasty, the Yate Dynasty. All the strong were either killed, fled, captured, or had their lands annexed, with the citizens turned into slaves."

"Strong members of the Xia Dynasty were conscripted during the war, reducing the Origin Realm numbers to single digits, with even Emperor Xia and Ni Feng Fairy injured, dropping back to the First Realm."

Zhao Xing sighed and said, "After fleeing and struggling for three hundred thousand years, following that war, everything had to start anew."

"The Xia Dynasty was seen as part of the Fran Dynasty and was hunted by the Yate Dynasty."

By now, Cloud Sky Dao's heart sank to the bottom.

They had struggled so much to grow, had finally seen hope, only to encounter unexpected setbacks once more.

"The previous pursuits by Star Thieves were minor skirmishes. The power of the Yate Dynasty was formidable; even hiding was difficult."

"This time, the Xia Dynasty paid a huge price to escape, forcing them to hide at the edge of the Desolate Domain."

"For two hundred thousand years, the Xia Dynasty could only scrape by in the Desolate Domain."

Again, their action capability was too weak.

The Xia Dynasty couldn't just escape from one star system to another at once.

At this point, the Xia Dynasty was like villagers displaced by war, hiding deep in the mountains, becoming what was known as wild folk.

"In twenty thousand years, the Xia Dynasty emerged once more. In the first fifty thousand years, the Yate Dynasty canceled its hunt and announced it would accept citizens of the Fran Dynasty."

"However, shortly after emerging, the Yate Dynasty fell into decline itself, splitting into sixteen different factions in less than ten thousand years."
