Chapter 3025: Shang Dao

"That mark on their foreheads, that is a Godhead…" The star chart's voice reappeared, explaining it to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan nodded; it was just as he had guessed.

"Continue."

"Those people are the true God Race. The ones you have encountered so far are not the God Race at all… at most, they simply have some God Race Bloodline in their bodies." The star chart's voice was filled with contempt, showing utter disdain for the God Race experts Xiao Fan had seen previously.

Xiao Fan nodded. He had sensed this before; the God Race experts he had met were too weak. There was no comparison between them and the experts who possessed a Godhead on their foreheads.

"Where did they come from?" Xiao Fan asked curiously.

"The God Domain…" The star chart sighed softly; it had finally broached this topic.

"The God Domain?" Xiao Fan was startled. "What kind of place is that?"

"A higher plane of existence, a realm that acts as the Dominator of the Myriad Heavens…" The star chart's voice echoed in Xiao Fan's ears.

"A higher plane?" Xiao Fan was greatly shocked. At the same time, this cleared his doubts. He had previously wondered if the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds were the pinnacle; it seemed they were not.

"Exactly. Everything there is the Dominator of all. There are no humans there… they are all Gods." The star chart's voice was calm, but Xiao Fan could hear the underlying fury in its tone.

"Gods?" Xiao Fan muttered. By now, he had found a secluded cave and entered it alone. He carved out a tunnel deep into the earth and had Wanxiang set up numerous Barriers to hide himself.

"Yes, Gods. Real Gods who can truly be the Dominators of everything." The star chart continued its explanation.

"Of course, it may be different from your understanding. Although those Gods belong to a race, it is not set in stone… Godhoods can also change." The star chart continued to explain.

It was a higher realm where experts were as common as clouds, and even God Race members with ordinary Bloodlines were far stronger than other races.

The spiritual energy in the God Domain was hundreds of times stronger than in other realms; the creatures there were powerful from the moment they were born.

Meanwhile, in other realms, everyone was considered a lowly creature beneath the God Race…

The God Race could kill these creatures at will, viewing them as ants. This applied not only to the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds where Xiao Fan resided, but to all other worlds as well; all were enslaved by the God Race.

Until one day, the Supreme Experts of the various worlds joined forces and rose in rebellion.

They were incredibly powerful, seizing a large number of Godheads to undergo a transformation before charging into the legendary God Domain.

On that day, the gods were shocked. They never expected their status as the Dominators of everything would be shaken.

That battle tore the heavens and earth asunder. The God Race was forced to compromise and sign an Eternal Covenant. From then on, the God Race would not descend to any Lower Realm… any violation would result in a severe backlash.

Since then, the God Domain became a legend. After countless eons, the world completely forgot about it…

This was why Xiao Fan had never heard of the God Domain.

That battle also opened a path for experts from ordinary realms to travel to the God Domain. While God Race experts could not descend, those from the Lower Realms could ascend.

This naturally incensed the God Race… Combined with being forced to sign the Eternal Covenant, they were deeply dissatisfied.

Among them, the person who led the charge to defeat the God Race and force them into dormancy was the first master of the star chart.

"The star chart's… first master?!" Xiao Fan was stunned by the news, his mind reeling.

Furthermore, from the star chart's words, Xiao Fan could infer that since there was a first master, there must have been a second, a third… which one was he?!

"Correct. He is also my creator… Shang Dao." The star chart spoke calmly, continuing to explain the Karma involved.

The star chart was originally a chaos spirit treasure, a peak-level existence so terrifying that even the experts of the God Domain feared it.

At that time, Shang Dao obtained and refined it… during which he poured his heart and soul into completing the star chart.

Within the star chart was a self-contained space, a realm of its own… this was the means Shang Dao intended to use to lead those from the Lower Realm to charge into the God Domain.

"Back then… Shang Dao's power was heaven-shaking. However, he could not personally bring his kin, his subordinates, and the people of the Lower Realm to the God Domain. So… he created me for the purpose of leading his loved ones to the God Domain…"

"The experts of the God Domain were already wary of Shang Dao, viewing him as extremely dangerous. Upon learning of his actions and intentions, they felt even more threatened… Thus, a conspiracy against Shang Dao began to unfold…"

"Shang Dao was powerful, with few rivals in the world at that time. The God Domain could not do anything to him… however… in the end, Shang Dao was defeated by the Alliance."
