Chapter 324: Primordial Calamity, Secret of Lost Souls

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

This remnant soul was originally a wisp of remnant soul that had managed to separate from the Ghost Deity after he had self-destructed. It did not retain much information to begin with. In addition, Romo was using the memories he had obtained from searching the soul, so the information he obtained was little and fragmented.

Of course, “little” was only relative to the soul’s entire memory. If the volume of information was carefully compared, the information he had obtained from searching the soul could already be considered a huge amount.

After all, the Ghost Deity of Heavenly Divine Realm from the mystic realm of Laha Island had lived in this world for almost 100,000 years. In addition, he also had some special aspects, which enabled Romo to obtain a sea of extremely complicated information. He could not sort it out in a short period of time and would have to spend time doing this.

Currently, he had only extracted some of the most important information from the vast information bank, and this was already shocking.

For example, although there was not much information about the Companion Realm Treasure, Romo at least already knew the existence of such a precious treasure. Just knowing this alone, he had surpassed most Divine Magi!

In addition, Romo roughly knew the core secrets of the Lost Spirit Sea.

This involved important secrets such as the primordial calamity and ascension mentioned earlier!

The beginning of everything had come from a great calamity known only by name in the current magical world—the primordial calamity!

The current historical records of the magical world could be traced back at most to about 6 million years ago, in particular, the records of the recent one million years were all quite detailed.

However, the more distant the historical records were, the fewer relevant records were there. Most of the ones left behind could only be regarded as legends. The period between one million and six million years ago was called the Middle Ages of magical power cultivation.

As for the period more than six million years ago when there were no historical records, it was called the Primordial Era.

There was only one rumor related to the Primordial Era, and it was not known if it was true. A calamity had suddenly occurred in that era, and it had almost destroyed the entire magical world. After the destruction in the Primordial Era, it took the Middle Ages a long time to recover.

There were no records of this calamity which had almost destroyed the entire magical world.

Now, Romo had caught a glimpse of some traces of the calamity from this remnant soul!

However, he did not obtain any specific information. He could only extract several memory fragments and some scenes.

An earth-shaking battle between Heavenly Divine Magi had erupted. With a wave of hand, the heavens and earth collapsed, and the void shattered!

White sacred light filled the world, destroying more than a hundred Heavenly Divine Realm experts in one strike!

When the experts of Heavenly Divine Realm attacked, a deep crack appeared on the continent, the Dark Night Canyon!!

The last scene was not a battle scene, but a figure standing in the boundless void. On his shoulder was the sun and moon, and in his hand were stars!!

Just checking the images, and the few scenes he had extracted from the memories of the soul was enough to make Romo’s heart tremble. He felt a sharp pain in his soul, and he almost lost control!!

These few memory fragments had come from an Ancient Heavenly Divine Mage who had been lucky enough to survive the heavenly realm calamity!

This Ancient Heavenly Divine Mage had been seriously injured in the calamity, so he found a place to recuperate in the shattered magic continent.

This place would be the future Laha Island!

In the Middle Ages, the magic continent slowly regained its former magical civilization and gradually became stronger. Countless magical powers appeared during this period. One of them, the Sacred Tree Island, was built on Laha Island and reigned supreme in the peripheral domain of the sea.

On the Sacred Tree Island, there was an old ancestor of the Heavenly Divine Realm who had already cultivated to the peak of the Heavenly Divine Realm. He should have ascended, but he was not allowed to. The Sky Ascension Stairs had already shattered in the primordial calamity.

Later on, the Ancient Heavenly Divine Mage, who was sleeping and recuperating on Laha Island, woke up. The Sacred Tree Island suffered a great calamity, and the old ancestor of the Sacred Tree Island also started a war with the Ancient Heavenly Divine Mage. In the end, he was defeated and his body was seized by the Ancient Heavenly Divine Mage!

However, although the Ancient Heavenly Divine Mage had successfully seized the body, he did not obtain any benefits. Instead, he suffered even more serious injuries from possessing the body.

After that, the Ancient Heavenly Divine Mage, using the mystic realm of Laha island as the core of the formation, set up an ancient magic formation to absorb the souls of the dead to recuperate, which eventually became the Lost Spirit Sea!!

However, in the endless years, not only did his injuries not heal, they became even more serious…

More than 50,000 years ago, a Ghost Deity, which was still a human at that time, accidentally landed on Laha Island. The Ancient Heavenly Divine Mage had again wanted to possess his body, but because he was too weak from his serious injuries, his soul was swallowed by the Ghost Deity!

At the same time, the Ghost Deity also lost his physical body. He had no choice but to switch to cultivating the Ghost Technique. He became a ghostly cultivator of the Heavenly Divine Realm.

This Ghost Deity had been seriously injured when resisting the Ancient Heavenly Divine Mage. He had also swallowed the latter and the old ancestor of the Heavenly Divine Realm in his soul. Not only had he swallowed the endless memories, he had also swallowed a portion of the remnant soul.

With the many collisions, he was even confused about who he was originally. He thought that he was an Ancient Heavenly Divine Mage who had descended from the heavenly realm.

Therefore, when he was fighting Romo earlier, he had repeatedly mentioned the term “mere ants”.

After the Ghost Deity had dominated the mystic realm of Laha Island, he also did the same thing as the Ancient Heavenly Divine Mage. He continued to absorb souls to recuperate. He even did it more ruthlessly!

After becoming the master of the island, he used the ancient Soul Gathering Magic Formation to develop the mystic technique of the ghost puppets. He used a method similar to nurturing parasites to nurture a large number of divine-tier ghost puppets to capture more and stronger souls for him.

In addition, he had also used this magic formation to guide the magical beasts and sea beasts in the Lost Spirit Sea to take the initiative to attack the Magi in the Lost Spirit Sea… This was the cause of Romo and Hera’s calamity in the sea!

Under the strange power of the ancient Soul Gathering Magic Formation, all the souls of the dead in the Lost Spirit Sea were sucked into the mystic realm of the Laha Island and became nourishment for the Ghost Deity.

Even among the Divine Magi, not many people knew about this secret. Very few had discovered it, and they had kept it a highly-guarded secret, not to be disclosed to the outside world.

For tens of thousands of years, the Ghost Deity had been using the ancient Soul Gathering Magic Formation to commit evil. Not only had he recovered from his injuries, he had also used the soul energy to become a ghostly cultivator that was level-6 of the Heavenly Divine Realm!

The ghostly cultivator of the Heavenly Divine Realm, who had been living happily in the mystic realm and harmed countless lives, finally encountered a calamity—Romo had appeared!

And this great calamity, which had lasted for millions of years, was successfully severed by Romo in the end!

… . .

Through the soul-searching magical power, Romo had managed to piece together the miscellaneous information he had obtained. Finally, a core secret of the Lost Spirit Sea had emerged.

After managing to sort out a clear thread, he was shocked and amazed.

It was no wonder that the torrent of memories he had extracted was so messy. It turned out that there were also the trivial memories of three Heavenly Divine Magi inside!

Among the three of them, he had naturally extracted most information through the soul search from the Ghost Deity who was the carrier of the information. His memories were the clearest. Next was the old ancestor of Heavenly Divine Realm from the Sacred Tree Island of the Middle Ages. The one with the least memory fragments that were also the most foggy was the Ancient Heavenly Divine Mage.

In the boundless information vault which had been filled with miscellaneous information from the three of them, there were also a few scattered insights on magical power cultivation.

Although they were very fragmented, they were also very useful to Romo!

However, what Romo valued the most was still the special energy that had inexplicably fused with his soul!
