Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Holy Lord's Brother!

Chapter 133: A New Era, God Seeds
"Turbid Realm?"

"Sixteen monarchs?"

Shentian looked up in great confusion.

Could it be that thousands of years have passed since I destroyed Pangu's treasure box?
Seeing Shentian's expression, the man pulled over a stool, sat down, and said, "It seems that your memory has been severely damaged. I will explain it to you from the beginning!"

"About four thousand years ago, a devastating explosion occurred in this world. No one knows how that explosion occurred, but the entire world was reshaped by it."

"After the reshaping, the world expanded several times in size, produced many other races besides demons, and was divided into three major realms: Turbid, Clear, and Heavenly."

"Each realm is ruled by its own monarchs. There isn't much difference between the realms themselves, except that the demonic energy content in the Turbid Realm is slightly lower."

"Other than that, there's nothing special about it. But is there anything else you want to know?"

"Yes, I do," Shentian nodded, "but before that, I think I should know your name first. Of course, my name is Shenyuan."

Shentian did not tell his real name.

On the one hand, we are still unclear about the current state of the world, and telling people casually may cause trouble.

"Shenyuan?" The man thought for a moment and said, "My name is Linxing, you can just call me by my name."

"Okay," Shentian agreed, then said, "I want to know if the division of realms in this era is the same as it was four thousand years ago."

"Realm?" Lin Xing touched his chin and said, "I don't know how the realms were divided four thousand years ago, but in this era..."

"There are only six realms from lowest to highest: Demon Soul, Demon Soldier, Demon, Great Demon, Monarch, and Divine Lord."

"The monarch class is further divided into three levels: Supreme Monarch, Origin Monarch, and Chaos Monarch. I wonder if this is the same as what you remember."

"There are some subtle differences, but the overall difference isn't that big. If possible, could you tell me what realm you're in now?"

"Me?" Lin Xing said bitterly, "I'm just a small demon. In Linyuan City, there are countless demons like me."

Upon hearing this, Shentian said "hmm".

This can be seen from the environment in which Lin Xing currently lives. If Lin Xing is powerful, he would not live in such a place.

However, by comparing with Linxing, Shentian also roughly estimated his current strength.

After absorbing demonic energy to recover from his injuries, he should be able to reach the Origin Monarch level, which is a slight improvement compared to four thousand years ago.

Shentian lowered his head, clenched his still limp hands, and continued, "So, how has humanity become in this era?"

"Human?" Lin Xing frowned and showed a strange expression on his face, as if he had never heard of it.

Seeing Lin Xing's expression, Shen Tian couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Could it be that in this era, humans still occupy the supreme position?"

"No," he shook his head before leaving. He turned around, took a tattered book from the table next to him, and turned to one of the pages.

During the flipping process, Linxing had no intention of covering up, so Shentian could see it clearly.

There was a simple drawing on the page, which was a diagram of the human body structure, and there were a few lines of small words next to it that looked like annotations.

Lin Xing pointed at the picture and said, "If the humans you're talking about, Shen Yuan, are referring to this weak race that walks on two legs and has an average height of only two meters," then I can tell you clearly that the human race died out three thousand years ago.

"And the action to annihilate humanity was jointly called upon by all the monarchs in the three realms."

"According to records, that operation brought together almost all the great demons and above from the three realms. Although I didn't participate, under such a purge, it is estimated that it would be difficult for humans to survive."

"What about righteousness?"

"Has your righteousness also vanished?"

Hearing the words "humanity will be destroyed", Shentian immediately said excitedly.

After all, humans are the carriers of righteousness. If humans perish, will righteousness also disappear?
However, Lin Xing shook his head and said, "Of course the righteous energy still exists. After the demise of humanity, the righteous energy was absorbed by the [Gods]."

As he said this, he flipped through the ancient book in his hand and showed Shentian another picture.

In the picture, there is a creature with a fantastical shape, no smaller than the devil, its body is transparent and has a mysterious light golden color.

Moreover, on the surface of this creature's skin, there were spells engraved that Shentian had never seen before.

Although there are not many, each spell exudes an extremely sacred feeling. Even though Shentian is only seeing a picture now, this feeling is still clear!
The most amazing thing is that there is a halo floating behind the head of this creature, like the wheel of God, filled with dots of fluorescent light.

Just by looking at this picture, Shentian seemed to be able to imagine the power of this creature.

Before leaving, he noticed the shock in Shentian's eyes, closed the book, and said, "It seems that in your time, the carriers of righteousness were humans, but in our time, the carriers of righteousness are gods."

"But don't worry, gods only exist in the heavens. There are no gods in the turbid and pure realms. Moreover, not all gods possess divine bodies."

"Most gods are actually just like ordinary demons, with a size of less than ten meters."

"To be honest, when I found you, I thought a god had appeared in the turbid world!"

"So that's what it is?"

Shen Tian took a deep breath, calmed his restless emotions, and said, "Thank you for telling me so much. If you have any questions, I can..."

"No need. I said from the beginning that I'm not interested in your background. The reason I saved you was just because I was a little curious about you."

"Just recover here. I have other things to do, but it's best not to leave here before you fully recover. This era is still very dangerous." He gave her instructions before leaving, then got up and left.

Watching the tail of the departing dog roll up the door handle and close the door, Shentian withdrew his gaze and began to digest the information in his mind.

The turbid realm, the pure realm, and the heavenly realm.
Humanity dies, and gods take its place.
Each word impacted Shentian's state of mind, forcing him to re-examine this era.

But before that, Shentian needs to recover his strength as soon as possible. The words of Monarch Yuanchu alone may not be enough to pose a threat to those [Gods].

Thinking of this, Shentian tore off the bandages on his body and began to frantically absorb the demonic energy in the surrounding space.

As this new demonic energy was infused into the body, every cell and every organ in Shentian's body seemed to be cheering and rejoicing.

And this also means that Shentian is likely to break through to the level of Chaos Monarch!
