In Li Tianya's view, the history of Xiangzhou should be divided into four parts.

He pointed his hand at the gray square at the highest point: "The beginning was the prehistoric era, that is, the era you lived in. The world at that time was called the Jiuzhou Continent, with a highly developed immortal civilization, and immortals in the realm of earth-shattering and sky-collapse, and even records of ascension to break through the void and ascension occur occasionally."

Wang Jiu nodded.

Li Tianya then slightly lowered his finger, pointed to the highest solid line, and said, "After that, the battle between immortals and demons broke out, and the demons invaded the Jiuzhou Continent, causing a disaster of destruction."

Wang Jiu continued to nod.

Li Tianya continued to point his finger down: "The history afterwards is very vague. There are currently two mainstream views. The party I support believes that after the disaster of the world, the Xiangzhou continent entered a special period called the Ice Age."

“Ice Age?”

Li Tianya explained: "This school's view is to recognize the existence of the world-destroying disaster. It believes that although the Xiangzhou continent survived the disaster and eliminated the invading demons, the victory was just a tragic victory. After the war, the whole world turned into ruins, and 99% of the civilizations disappeared into the vast chaos. The only small space left was also undergoing the sudden change of the laws of heaven and earth, becoming highly unsuitable for survival. It is said that the Xiangzhou continent in the Ice Age was not only everywhere.

In addition to the spiritual wind storm and the thunder of heavenly tribulation, the sky is also shrouded in thick dark clouds and never dissipated all year round. The sun is a luxury resource that only a few years or even decades have passed away. The earth is covered with ice and snow, and almost all plants, trees, insects and fish are extinct. Only a very small number of creatures that can resist the severe cold and darkness can survive. Our ancestors gave up the world on the ground in despair, dispersed into countless sparks and hid in the dark world underground, and struggled to survive."

After saying that, Li Tianya continued to go down: "The history of this Ice Age is very vague, and because the changes in the world during that period are too frequent and too intense, it is difficult to restore the historical landforms by relying on environmental factors such as earth veins and spiritual wind. Therefore, how many years did the Ice Age last? It is hard to assert that what our ancestors experienced during that period. My current guess is that the Ice Age should last for about two or three thousand years. The ancestors survived and reproduced in the underground world, and after almost dozens of generations of change, the dawn of the new era came.

The basis for speculation is that after the Ice Age, the Immortal Civilization in Xiangzhou almost started from scratch. When the world changes ended and the dark clouds dissipated and the sun shone, our ancestors had lost almost all their magical powers from the underground world. Even the historical materials they had preserved became fragments of myths and stories. In addition to several large families, they also preserved core martial arts materials. At that time, they seemed like heavenly books, and many people could not even remember the methods of cultivating immortals. To make the civilization retreat so thoroughly, it must be that the ancestors would experience the decline of many generations."

Wang Jiu listened carefully and did not miss every detail.

Li Tianya sighed softly: "However, these are all speculations. After all, the civilization decline of the Ice Age was so severe that the history at that time was completely lost. Many people even questioned whether that period of history existed, believing that the so-called Ice Age should be within the scope of world-destruction disasters. After all, a great disaster that swept the world could not have ended suddenly in just a few years or more. Our ancestors may have been linked with the enemy for thousands of years before they finally achieved victory. The current history of Xiangzhou was gradually formed after the ancestors walked out of the underground world."

Li Tianya's finger continued downwards: "Then it reached the third era, the dark age.

After our ancestors passed the Ice Age, they returned to the ground. Although they basically returned to eating raw meat and drinking blood at that time, and were scattered in different places, because several large tribes still preserved their core inheritance, the Immortal Civilization began to gradually recover.”

Wang Jiu asked: "Since that's the case, why is it called the Dark Age?"

Li Tianya smiled bitterly: "Because that revival history is really not glorious enough, especially from today's perspective, it is simply outrageously barbaric."

After a pause, Li Tianya said seriously: "I think in the prehistoric era when you were active, the monks in the world should be united and coexist, and advance and retreat together, right? After all, it is said that civilization was high and developed at that time, and the world was unified."

Wang Jiu said: "Yes, although it is not as good as Xiangzhou's current order and prosperity coexist. However, at that time, the immortal cultivators in Jiuzhou jointly obeyed the rule of the Wanxian Alliance and resisted the demon clan. Even many evil ways participated without hesitation and fought bloody battles with the righteous monks."

Li Tianya said: "However, after thousands of years of isolation and decline in the Ice Age, the ancestors who returned to the ground no longer knew each other. Even the seven major families now had no idea of ​​being in the same spirit at that time. At that time, the Xiangzhou continent was far from being as vast as fertile as it is now, and the area was about one percent of the current one? The edge of the continent was full of deadly chaotic wastelands, and the limited land was still occupied by ice fields and deserts... The resources for survival were very limited. Therefore, wars and killings followed one after another. The fire of civilization that we had reignited after thousands of hardships was on the verge of extinguishing countless times because of the chaos of war, and that period of history lasted for three thousand years."

Afterwards, Li Tianya's finger continued to go down.

"Of course, although the ancestors were constantly warring over the past three thousand years, civilization as a whole still flourished. The land in Xiangzhou expanded more than ten times, and many families and tribes that were originally isolated from each other gradually exchanged and integrated during this period. Several major civilized forces even began to consciously unify the calendar text... This created sufficient conditions for the subsequent unification of the world. More importantly, the influence of the Holy Sect has been deeply rooted and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

Wang Jiu frowned and interrupted: "What is the origin of the Holy Sect?"

"I don't know that even the leader of the Holy Sect can only go back to the beginning of the Dark Age. I think like the seven major families, they are also descendants of immortal cultivators who survived the prehistoric era, right?"

Wang Jiu asked: "But in the Jiuzhou era, there was absolutely no holy sect."

"There are many possibilities." Li Tianya explained, "After all, there are thousands of years of Ice Age between the prehistoric and the dark ages. Perhaps it was two unrelated immortal cultivation families who were forced to merge in the underground world to form a brand new school, or perhaps it was just a small family that was not very prominent in the prehistoric era. Fortunately, they found an underground shelter with abundant resources. During the thousands of years of the Ice Age, they preserved more power than other families?"

Wang Jiu nodded slowly, expressing his approval of this speculation.

"In short, since the Dark Age, the Holy Sect played the role of a transcendent and neutral leader of the righteous path. It does not participate in the interests of families, but only comes forward to stop the disputes in times of great disasters and chaos. The Holy Sect is transcendent, and is fair in dealing with things, and does not consider self-interest. Over the past few thousand years, its prestige has increased day by day. Finally, in the end of the Dark Age - according to the counter-tracing results of today's historians, it should be the 3412 year of the Dark Age. The Holy Sect joined forces with the seven major families to launch a sweeping war to unify the Xiangzhou continent. It took three years, bringing the history of Xiangzhou to the last stage."

Li Tianya said, and couldn't help but laugh: "In fact, when the Holy Sect reached an agreement with the heads of the seven major families to rule the world together, the general trend of the world was already determined. After all, one sect, three courtyards and seven major families controlled more than 50% of the high-end power of the entire Xiangzhou at that time. Most of the three-year war was held in peace talks with some small and medium-sized families. The real resistance was very limited. In short, three years later, the Holy Sect announced the unification of the world, the end of the dark age, and the opening of a new Xiangzhou calendar."

Wang Jiu said: "The next two thousand years of peaceful development?"

"Well, after more than two thousand years of rapid development, it is the Xiangzhou continent you see. The history I know is basically like this. I wonder if it can be confirmed with the part you know?"

Wang Jiumei looked solemn and pondered: "At least now, there is no contradiction. For example, the Ice Age: When I fought with the Demon Emperor that day, it really destroyed the world, almost turning the entire Jiuzhou over, and the laws of heaven and earth fell apart. Even if the heaven and earth ended, it was not surprising that the environment hypothesis of the Ice Age makes sense."

Li Tianya asked, "What about the demon clan? As long as the Demon Emperor dies, the battle between immortals and demons will end immediately?"

Wang Jiu said: "Of course not. The disaster of the demon clan. In addition to their individual strength, the vast number of the sea is the key. Although I led the Nine Immortals to win consecutive battles and recovered many lost lands in three years, the main force of the demon clan has always been there, and there will be reinforcements from the demon clan in the Chaos Gate... The only problem is that the demon clan is naturally chaotic and bloody. If there is no absolutely powerful leader, such as the Great Demon God Emperor, they will first kill.

He. When I led the team back then, I just went to the decisive click to kill the demon king and the demon general. As long as the person who led the leader was killed, the subordinates would immediately start to kill each other in order to fight for power and profit. Before the decisive battle, I killed thirteen demon kings in succession according to Concubine Shang Lan, which greatly damaged the ruling structure of the demon clan. After that, as long as the Demon Emperor died, according to Concubine Shang Lan’s prediction, the demon clan would inevitably fall into an endless internal struggle. Even if the Wanxian Alliance was completely out of the matter, they could sit idly by and watch them die on their own."

Li Tianya could only hear incredible: "Such a powerful alien civilization actually relies on the power of the Demon Emperor to suppress it?"
