[Late Second Era: Under the leadership of the six great immortal sects, a newly revised cultivation system swept across the world.]
[During this period, there was almost no opposition because the world's resources had indeed begun to dwindle. This desperate measure was the only way to temporarily safeguard their interests.]
[However, the various demon clans, free from human jurisdiction, saw a great demon at the Creation Realm declare himself the Demon Ancestor. He established the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance and created the Devouring Heaven Technique, which could rapidly absorb the world's celestial energy and accelerate cultivation.]
[The technique's emergence caused the collective strength of the demon clans to surge, but their aggressive depletion of celestial energy drew the attention of the human sects.]
[The six sect masters acted in unison, using overwhelming power to suppress the Demon Ancestor, forcing him to hand over the Devouring Heaven Technique and demanding the demon clans reduce their absorption of celestial energy.]
[Helpless against the six Creation Realm powerhouses, the newly established demon clans boasting only the Demon Ancestor as their sole powerhouse had no choice but to comply.]
[However, once the six sect masters acquired the Devouring Heaven Technique, they secretly began practicing it themselves, greedily absorbing celestial energy to break through their limits and ascend to the Supreme Ancestor Realm.]
[Late Second Era: Since the Five Elements Spiritual Roots system was implemented, countless children had been deemed talentless for cultivation. These individuals were forced to resign themselves to a life of mediocrity.]
[The world's social hierarchy became increasingly rigid. Those unable to cultivate couldn't practice energy fasting and were left to toil in farming and exhausting manual labor.]
[This directly led to the burial of numerous prodigies, significantly weakening the overall strength of the next generation within the human race.]
[Yet among them, some refused to accept their fate. They gathered the talentless masses, building vast mortal villages, towns, and even kingdoms.]
[Unfortunately, these ambitions faced a harsh reality. Without the ability to cultivate, mortals lacked combat power. Armed only with swords and spears, they couldn't even fend off nearby demonic beasts. Ultimately, they were forced to seek the protection of cultivation sects.]
[Thus, they became vassals to these sects, toiling for their benefit and suffering ruthless exploitation.]
[While the peak of the six sects' reign continued, subtle shifts emerged that threatened this seemingly harmonious status quo.]
[Early Third Era: Within the mortal kingdoms, a commoner unexpectedly stumbled upon a mysterious cultivation manual known as the Basic Cultivation Method.]
[Though deemed talentless and unfit for cultivation under the Five Elements system, this individual practiced the mysterious method and, albeit slowly, absorbed celestial energy to reach the Dust-Cleansing Realm!]
[Word of this revolutionary cultivation method spread rapidly across villages and towns.]
[Countless mortals began cultivating this newfound hope, achieving the impossible and stepping onto the path of immortality.]
[Initially, people were ecstatic, believing it to be a gift from the heavens that allowed them to rewrite their destinies.]
[However, the news soon reached the six sect masters, who immediately sensed the grave threat it posed.]
[Acting decisively, they united and commanded their sect disciples to descend upon the mortal world, slaughtering anyone who practiced the new cultivation method.]
[The six sects declared to the world that this method was not orthodox but an evil technique.]
[They accused practitioners of the technique of harming themselves and others, claiming it would ultimately lead to their destruction. To further control public opinion, they branded these individuals as heretical cultivators"evil cultivators."]
"Evil cultivators?"
"They sure know how to find an excuse," Bai Ze sneered.
"But the truth can't be hidden forever. Constant suppression will only breed more suspicion."
Bai Ze's eyes glimmered with anticipation. "The real drama is about to begin."
[Ultimately, those who practiced the so-called "evil technique" were hunted down and nearly exterminated.]
[Frightened by the sects' oppressive actions, the remaining mortals dared not touch the cultivation method again, regardless of its truth or falsehood.]
[Thus, peace was temporarily restored within human territories.]
[Mid-Third Era: Despite their efforts, the cultivation method was not entirely eradicated. Some brave mortals refused to bow to fate, secretly practicing and spreading a rumor.]
[The rumor stated that the current cultivation system was a fabrication of the six great sects and that the true system allowed anyone to cultivate, regardless of their spiritual roots.]
[This revelation shook the mortal kingdoms to their core. Throngs of commoners gathered to demand justice from the sects, seeking a direct answer to the allegations.]
[But the sects remained indifferent and resorted to violence, dispatching countless disciples to suppress and kill the protestors.]
[This heavy-handed approach backfired, escalating tensions even further.]
[Late Third Era: Wildfires may be extinguished, but with every spring wind, they rise again.]
[The heavens sent a fated individual among the mortals a figure of great destiny.]
[Born into poverty and orphaned at a young age, this brilliant and resourceful individual created a new cultivation method, uniting mortals under the banner of the Mortal Heaven Sect. Self-proclaimed as the Mortal Emperor, he led the oppressed masses in rebellion.]
"Born into poverty, orphaned… this is starting to sound like a protagonist's backstory," Bai Ze quipped, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
["The immortal sects are unjust, treating all beings as mere fodder."]
[The Mortal Heaven Sect quickly rose to prominence, spreading their message and exposing the six sects' manipulation of the cultivation system.]
[Enraged, the six sects convened the first-ever Immortal World Joint Conference, rallying countless sect leaders to their cause.]
[Recognizing their shared vulnerability, they swiftly allied, dispatching an immense army of elite disciples to eradicate the Mortal Heaven Sect under the guise of punishing evil and promoting righteousness.]
[Late Third Era: The massive cultivator army marched out, wielding overwhelming force to suppress the Mortal Heaven Sect.]
[However, they walked straight into a trap.]
[The Mortal Heaven Sect had laid an elaborate ambush. Cloaked in robes adorned with the character of "Mortal," countless experts emerged from all directions, including powerful Creation Realm leaders, and decisively crushed the sect army.]
[For the first time, the six sects' absolute dominion over humanity was shattered.]
[Thus, as recorded in the immortal chronicles, the Era of the Six Sects' Supremacy came to an end.]
[The Mythic Era officially entered the Period of the Mortal Heaven Rebellion.]
