Li Yao's eyelashes shook and his face was a little solemn. The "Great Dark Age" is the most important period in the development of cultivation civilization. It can even be said that it was the Great Dark Age that divided the "Classic Cultivation Period" and the "Modern Cultivation Period". This is a very classic question, which is well known, but it is not easy to answer comprehensively.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yao's thoughts were turned and his divine thoughts were flying:

"Ancient cultivators created an extremely brilliant ancient civilization with the goal of immortality. They established an upgrade system from refining qi, building foundations to forming elixirs, Nascent Souls... until they pass through tribulation, true immortals, and immortality. They walked forward bravely along this path, constantly expanding the limits of life, and moving towards the endless sea of ​​stars."

"At the heyday of ancient cultivating civilization, ancient cultivators opened up one world after another, constructed an ancient teleportation array that ran through the endless sea of ​​stars, shuttled between the stars and the world at will, and even began to explore the ultimate mystery of time!"

"As ancient cultivators continue to evolve, ancient cultivators have become stronger and longer, and the number of strong ones has become more and more powerful."

"In the early days of ancient civilization, there were only hundreds of Jindan stage cultivators and dozens of Nascent Soul stage cultivators. As for the 'Old Monster of Transformation' and 'True Lord of Tribulation', it is unheard of. It will only take thousands of years for one to appear in dozens of worlds, and it is definitely a rare existence!"

"But in the late stage of the ancient civilization, like a big explosion, the advanced cultivators multiplied geometrically - at that time, there was a saying that "there are many Nascent Souls as many as dogs, and they transformed into gods and walked all over the ground."

"So many high-level cultivators need huge resources to practice. In addition, more and more cultivators have reached nearly immortality, and their desire for resources has also reached - endless!"

"At the beginning, we can also satisfy the greedy high-level cultivators by developing a new world. However, after tens of thousands of years of development and discovering nearly five thousand worlds, for a whole thousand years, the ancient civilization has not been able to discover even a new world.

"The world is limited, while the cultivators' pursuits are infinite. The ancient cultivators spent a thousand years to understand this truth. It was natural that in order to compete for limited resources, the civil war broke out immediately."

"The three thousand years of civil war swept across the world. Ancient cultivators who can call for wind and rain and move mountains and seas to fight each other on every star! The planet is burning, the ancient teleportation array is destroyed, crystal warships explode in a series of explosions, and high-level cultivators who are known as "immortal" fall one after another. The "Pill-killing Powerful" and the "Old Monster of the Yuanying" are even more like the mortals they once regarded as ants, becoming worthless cannon fodder, and they are destroyed under the attack that is enough to destroy the planet."

"In the late stage of the civil war, more than 70% of the worlds were destroyed, and countless worlds cut off their ties with the main world. More than 90% of the high-level cultivators turned into ashes, and the remaining low-level cultivators were also surviving in the ruins."

"War seems difficult to maintain, and the dawn of peace still appears - until an ignorant cultivation genius invented a 'gate' in an unknown world."

"The name and sect of this genius of cultivation are no longer verified, and his refining process has long disappeared with the wind. Modern people call what he created - the Demon God Virus!"

"Maybe his idea is very simple: Since there are not enough warriors, why not invent something to comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness of the spirit beasts and fight instead of cultivators - after all, the number of spirit beasts is almost endless!"

"He succeeded. After the catalysis of the 'demon virus', countless tame spirit beasts were modulated into terrible killing tools. The war machine known as the 'demon beasts' is tireless, will not hesitate, and will never die!"

"In just ten years, this genius cultivated unified the vast world where he was with the army of monsters. The number of monsters has reached hundreds of millions. Cultivators from the rest of the world discovered what he did and began to refine their own 'monster beasts'."

"In a hundred years, monsters have become the main force of civil war in the cultivation world and appear in every corner of the Star Sea."

"But none of the cultivators discovered two things."

"First, the 'Demon God Virus' has extremely strong self-replication ability and contagiousness."

"Second, while improving the combat power of monsters, the 'demon virus' is also subtly moving, constantly improving the intelligence of monsters. In the hundreds of years of cruel bloody battles, under the catalysis of a huge base, a 'demon race' with intelligence comparable to humans was born among the monsters with trillions of calculations!"

"Finally, on the last day of the three thousand years of civil war - the demon clan awakened!"

"It seems that under the command of a terrifying existence, all the monsters in the world in the Star Sea rose up to resist their masters almost at the same time. The cultivators who have been hiding in the mountain gate for hundreds of years are not the opponents of monsters that have been through the battlefield for a long time - not to mention the monsters who have mastered human cultivation techniques!"

"One spiritual mountain after another was razed to the ground, and one sect after another was slaughtered by the whole family. For a hundred years, the demon clan has been chasing every cultivator who has escaped the net in the sea of ​​stars. The cultivator who was once high-ranking was like a dog that was stray, hiding in the dark domain of the star sea and the gap between time and space, and was in panic all day long."

"There were thirty thousand years since then, it was the 'great dark age' of mankind. In the endless darkness, the demon clan established a huge 'monster beast dynasty', while humans became lowly slaves, lost their dignity, pride, and lost their most precious power - the power to cultivate and refine Qi!"

"Thirty thousand years, thirty thousand years! The ancient civilization that once was brilliant and magnificent, ruled the endless sea of ​​stars was like a tower of yellow sand, destroyed by the stormy waves without leaving any mark! The descendants of the high-level cultivators who were "immortal" in the past could only rely on their most primitive and powerful reproductive power and with huge numbers, they struggled to maintain the continuation of the race!"

"It was not until 30,000 years later, at the end of the Great Dark Age, when the demon race fought for power and profits, and the contradictions continued to sharpen, that humans had a chance to breathe. With the unremitting efforts of countless cultivation geniuses, humans secretly launched three "cultural revolutions" and established a "modern cultivation civilization system" that was completely different from the ancient cultivation civilization, and then they embarked on the magnificent road of cultivation and revival!"

"Under the leadership of the peerless powerful 'Emperor', humans discovered a large number of relics of ancient civilizations and re-created twenty 'Yuanshi sects'. After thousands of years of bloody battles, humanity prospered, and humanity became the master of the endless sea of ​​stars again, and modern civilization of cultivation has also shown vitality!"

"It has been ten thousand years since the end of the 'Great Dark Age', and it has been forty thousand years since the collapse of the ancient cultivation civilization. Now, it is the best century of cultivation, and the 40,000 years of cultivation with endless charm!"

When Li Yao was thinking about the last paragraph, a countdown appeared in the sky that meant that the exam was about to end. He had to give up the idea of ​​continuing to explain the life of the "Emperor", and casually said a few clichés and ended in a hurry.

Almost as the last word came to my mind, the whole world collapsed and turned into butterfly-like fragments. Li Yao was forcibly pushed out by a force, and his eyes were blurred and his consciousness returned to the classroom.
