No one knows when the Gate to Immortality appeared.
Nor do they know why the Gate to Immortality appeared.
But it simply descended, without any reason.
There is a legend that if one can step into the Gate to Immortality, one can ascend to Immortality.
Some also say that the Gate to Immortality is a portal to the ancient Immortal Realm.
Others even say that the Gate to Immortality is an ancient treasure left behind by a True Immortal.
In short, there are various theories, too numerous to mention.
At that time, Desolate Emperor, as the top powerhouse in the world, was the most likely person to investigate the existence of the Gate to Immortality.
And Desolate Emperor did just that.
But his purpose in doing so was not for Immortal Ascension.
Instead, he wanted to find a way to completely resolve Apocalypse Lord An Di, this tumor and disaster of the Immortal Realm.
After investigating the Gate to Immortality, Desolate Emperor.
He found the key to fully opening the Gate to Immortality, which was that ancient stone disk.
Then, Desolate Emperor discovered that behind the Gate to Immortality was an Immortal Road that had long been cut off.
In other words, this was an abandoned portal.
However, within it, there was a massive amount of Immortal Material.
Desolate Emperor, while Cultivating with the help of Immortal Material, came up with a plan.
That was to use the Gate to Immortality as the Foundation, as the core of a Seal, to Seal the Lord of the End forever within it.
As for why it was only Sealed and not eliminated.
That was because the Lord of the End's power was too strong.
And as long as there was chaos, War, bloodshed, and slaughter in the world.
Then the Lord of the End would be very difficult to completely eradicate.
Therefore, Desolate Emperor intended to Seal him forever.
On the other side, Apocalypse Lord An Di, as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
His strength was also boundless, even strong enough to deduce the Karma of all things.
It was precisely because he could deduce this Karma that he could become the mastermind.
Standing behind the scenes, instigating Wars between various forces.
Emperor Haotian's so-called "Rebirth in one life" memory was actually deduced by the Lord of the End using Karma.
This was his unique ability.
Apocalypse Lord An Di also deduced that Desolate Emperor was likely carrying out some plan that would be detrimental to him.
Therefore, the Lord of the End, who was always shrewd and whose mind surpassed gods, also prepared his own backup plan in advance.
He first condensed five master sacrificial tokens.
These five master sacrificial tokens contained a portion of his power, which was Blood Sacrifice Power.
And those who obtained the master sacrificial token could become the so-called Chief Priest, possessing the energy to sacrifice all spirits.
This was actually leaving a way out for himself.
Afterward, Desolate Emperor came knocking again, and the great War began anew.
After refining massive amounts of Immortal Material, Immortal Essence, and other essences.
Desolate Emperor's already boundless strength became even stronger, surpassing all eras.
Even the Lord of the End was stretched thin, repeatedly defeated.
Finally, he was severely injured and sent flying into the Gate to Immortality by a punch from Desolate Emperor.
Then, Desolate Emperor activated all his power to Seal him.
Of course, although the Lord of the End was knocked into the Gate to Immortality.
But dealing with one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse alone caused Desolate Emperor himself to suffer severe injuries.
After Sealing the Lord of the End, he actually didn't have much energy left.
Then, to prevent the Lord of the End from escaping, he intended to completely annihilate the key, which was the stone disk.
But that stone disk was actually made of material from the same Source as the Gate to Immortality.
Even Desolate Emperor could not completely annihilate it, and it was finally shattered into four pieces, scattered to various corners of the Immortal Realm.
And the exhausted Desolate Emperor did not notice.
Although the Lord of the End was Sealed.
He quietly let out a wisp of his spiritual Divine Thought.
One wisp of this Divine Thought was attached to a piece of the stone disk.
Long afterward, this piece of stone disk, with a wisp of Divine Thought attached, was picked up by Emperor Haotian during his Cultivation in the Virtual Heaven Realm.
He then fell into a deep sleep, Sealed until the Golden Age, and the Lord of the End took the opportunity to brainwash him, injecting the memory of Rebirth into his mind.
This led to Emperor Haotian's subsequent determination to step into the Gate to Immortality, eventually helping him unseal.
On the other side, because the Lord of the End was severely injured by Desolate Emperor and Sealed within the Gate to Immortality.
So he was completely unable to Cultivate.
His power Source was War, chaos, despair, Blood Sacrifice Power, and so on.
The Immortal Material within the Gate to Immortality actually did not help his Cultivation much.
Therefore, the Lord of the End began to find ways to recover from his injuries.
At the same time, Desolate Emperor, also severely injured, chose to establish the Ancient Sacred Temple lineage to prevent the Lord of the End from possibly escaping in the future.
This was a force exclusive to the Ancient Sacred Body.
Each generation of Sacred Body would be guided into the Ancient Sacred Temple to Cultivate.
And the duty of the Sacred Body lineage was to guard the Gate to Immortality, preventing chaos when the Gate to Immortality descended again.
Various turmoils in the Immortal Realm were also the responsibility of the Ancient Sacred Temple.
It can be said that why the Ancient Sacred Body protects the Immortal Realm and pacifies chaos.
It actually began when Desolate Emperor established the Ancient Sacred Temple.
And the Lord of the End, to heal his injuries.
A wisp of his spiritual Divine Thought, which had dispersed outside, found Chang Sheng Emperor.
And Chang Sheng Emperor's lifelong wish was Immortal Ascension.
When the Lord of the End's spiritual Divine Thought told him that the Gate to Immortality was actually a broken path.
Chang Sheng Emperor felt his beliefs were about to collapse.
At this moment, the Lord of the End offered a deal that Chang Sheng Emperor absolutely could not refuse.
If Chang Sheng Emperor acted according to his instructions.
Once he truly recovered his strength and broke open the Gate to Immortality, he would take Chang Sheng Emperor to find the true path to Immortal Ascension.
Apocalypse Lord An Di, as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, controlled all Karma.
If it were anyone else who said they could lead him to the true path to Immortal Ascension, Chang Sheng Emperor would certainly not believe it.
But the Lord of the End indeed had this ability.
So Chang Sheng Emperor agreed.
Even if agreeing would bring a catastrophe to the Immortal Realm.
But Chang Sheng Emperor still did not hesitate.
For Immortal Ascension, he had long lost his human emotions and compassion.
After that, it was very simple.
The Lord of the End's Divine Thought guided Chang Sheng Emperor to find the master sacrificial token.
He became the First Chief Priest, simultaneously controlling the Blood Sacrifice Power that sacrificed all spirits.
Chang Sheng Emperor personally forged the Immortal Altar.
Then, according to the Lord of the End's idea, he spread the remaining master sacrificial tokens to other Life Forbidden Zones.
And told them that as long as they became Chief Priests, initiated the Darkness Turmoil against the Immortal Realm, and sacrificed all spirits with blood.
They would be able to obtain massive amounts of Immortal Material from the Gate to Immortality.
Not only could it help them improve their Cultivation and prolong their lifespan, but it might also lead to the possibility of extreme sublimation.
Therefore, the other several Life Forbidden Zones also joined Chang Sheng Emperor's camp.
From then on, the Darkness Turmoil, which was regarded as a nightmare by the Immortal Realm, began.
And the reason the Lord of the End went to such great lengths.
It was because every Darkness Turmoil generated enormous negative energy, various despairs, and Blood Sacrifice Power.
All of these would surge into the Gate to Immortality, and finally be absorbed by the Lord of the End.
His injuries would gradually recover through one turmoil after another.
This was the ultimate goal of the Lord of the End's meticulous planning of the Darkness Turmoil!
