"The Grand purpose was to use and sacrifice those Ancient beings and Ancient Races to win the War and Prove the Dao, using their flesh, blood, and soul to summon and shoulder the Heaven Will, ascending into a completely higher and different Realm of Existence."
"Before those Ancient beings could understand what was going on, Dao Ancestor activated that terrifying killing array and sacrificed all those Ancient beings and used their Races as nourishment to Prove His Dao. Then, as he had said, he used the blood, soul, flesh, and obsessions of those Ancient beings and Ancient Races as nourishment to summon the Heaven Will and shoulder the Heaven Will and proclaimed himself as the True Dao Emperor, ascending into a higher Realm of Existence, also known as Great Emperor."
"Becoming the First Emperor of the Nine Emperor World and Endless Heaven, taking the entire Nine Emperor World into his palm, he ended the War that would later be known as the War of Myriad Races and opened a New Age also known as the Age of Emperors, where in every Generation and Era to come, the path of Emperor was open to all living beings. Every living being had a chance to compete for the Emperor path, as long as they had the qualifications to do so."
"Age of Gods and Demons had been divided into 3 Eras. First was the Beginning Era where the world had just recovered and the Laws of Heaven and Earth had just been restored and living beings were flourishing in the world. After that was the Dark Era, also known as the Era of Oppression, where those Ancient beings and Ancient Races oppressed all other living beings and weak Races in the world, slaughtering and committing genocide against them and committing many heinous and disgusting crimes."
"After that Era came the final and last Era of the Age of Gods and Demons, also known as the Liberation Era, where all living beings and other Races, such as humanity, united to resist the oppression and cruelty from those Ancient Races, waged war against them such as the War of Myriad Races, and gained freedom."
Looking at the book and after reading all those pieces of information and history from the Age of Gods and Demons, Xiao sighed slightly.
'Truly our Founding Ancestor is really something. Damn! Daring to use those Ancient beings and Ancient Races as chess pieces and nourishment. Thinking of them merely as stepping stones for his grand scheme. And then using their blood, flesh, and soul to summon the Heaven Will and shoulder it. Then ascending and becoming the First Great Emperor in the World?'
Xiao almost roared in laughter.
'Dammit Ancestor! I couldn't help but praise you more! No! I admire you! I, the Great and mighty Xiao, couldn't help but admire you! Really Ancestor! You're truly worthy of being called my ancestor.'
Xiao was truly impressed by this Ancestor of his, as Xiao really started to admire him. At the same time, he was really feeling good and satisfied by knowing the knowledge of the Age of Gods and Demons. Before, he only knew that his Ancestor and primogenitor of the Cardinal Royal Family, the Dao Ancestor or True Dao Emperor, was the one responsible for creating the current Age, also known as the Age of Emperors.
He didn't know that his Ancestor was actually the one who was responsible for ending that previous Age, and not just that, he even dared to use those Ancient beings and their Races as nourishment and stepping stones for actually doing that. And he even succeeded in doing this, becoming the First Emperor in the world.
'I have to say that my Ancestor was actually very cunning and savage for doing that. Damn, those Ancient beings and Ancient Races were actually in the dark from beginning to end to the point they couldn't even fathom or imagine that they were being played and schemed against by someone since the very start. All of them were treated as pawns by my Founding Ancestor since the very beginning.'
Xiao couldn't help but feel pity for those Ancient Races as he thought.
'May your poor souls rest in peace. Wait no! You guys are a bunch of bastards who oppressed the weak. So may your souls burn in the depths of hell! Ah yes, that's more like it!'
Then he focused on the information as Xiao started to analyze things.
'Damn, the previous Age was really a dark time. Even though its beginning was fine, the middle of it was truly a dark time for humanity and all the other Races that were being oppressed by those Ancient beings and their Races. To the point that all those other Races and humanity almost went extinct. Dammit, those Ancient Races and those Ancient beings were a bunch of crap!'
Xiao continued.
'Also thank the Gods that my Founding Ancestor was born during that Age and his brilliance outshined everyone and everything in that Age, treating his enemies as nothing more than chess pieces. But even I cannot fathom how difficult things would have been for him because at that time there wasn't even a cultivation System. And speaking of cultivation.'
A quiet glint flashed in his eyes as Xiao quietly pondered.
'According to this book, my Founding Ancestor, Dao Ancestor or True Dao Emperor, was the one who created the cultivation System in that Age and spread it to humanity first and then to all living beings, giving everyone a chance to change their fate. And this was the main reason that it threatened the rule of those Ancient Races, as they could not see someone who was weaker and ruled by them becoming as powerful as them and their equals, and in the future even more powerful than them.'
He thought.
'So the question is, did my Founding Ancestor actually create the cultivation System from scratch? Or there is something else all together, like gaining some inheritances from upper dimensions or Heavenly Realms and then using them as inspiration to build the current System of cultivation?'
Xiao continued.
'Because from what I know, from the information in the Void Record description I have read, after those Divine beings fell it created another Epoch known as the Forbidden Epoch or Epoch of Corruption.'
