Chapter 5453
The three departed and began traveling through the darkness. Zeno used the opportunity
to share information about the Prison World.
"The Prison World used to be part of the Ancestral Site.
Most of the Ancestral Site's core pieces were scattered and disappeared into the darkness,
leaving behind a fragmented world. After the side led by the Four Ancient Races won the
battle, they imprisoned the losing side in the Prison World and set up the strongest
formation to ever exist around the place."
"Speaking of the battle..." James suddenly thought of something and asked, "What was
the cause for it? Why were so many races involved?"
"What else could it be? Of course, it was a fight over supreme strength. They wanted to
reach the legendary Transcendental Bliss Rank." Zeno sighed.
"Do elaborate." James was interested in the Dark World's history and wanted to find out

Zeno explained, "The root of everything was the Ancestral Site. The Ancestral Site had
been destroyed long ago before the battle. Although it was shattered, a path called the
Halcyon Road, also known as the Halcyon Sea, survived.
"Since ancient times until the present, powerhouses who
have tried to enter the Transcendental Bliss Rank would either go crazy, completely lose
their minds, or die.
'There were rumors that anyone who could enter the Halcyon Road and pass through it
would successfully enter the Transcendental Bliss Rank.
'The Halcyon Road used to be located within the Ancestral Site. However, after the
Ancestral Site was destroyed, the Halcyon Road vanished into the Dark World. It would
only open under specific conditions."
James frowned and asked, "What kind of conditions?"
"When the powerhouses at the Quasi Bliss Rank reach a specific number, the Halcyon
Road will appear. However, only a limited number of powerhouses can enter the
Halcyon Road. The powerhouses back then split into two sides and fought to secure a
chance to enter the Halcyon Road. The losers were to die, and the winners could enter it.
"The winning side's powerhouses, who have reached the Quasi Bliss Rank, all entered the
Halcyon Road."
James asked, "And then what happened?"
Zeno shook his head and answered, "I’m not too sure. From what I heard, nobody returned
from the Halcyon Road, nor did anyone reach the Transcendental Bliss Rank. There are
only records of powerhouses reaching the Quasi Bliss Rank, and there aren't any recorded
accounts of anybody reaching the Transcendental Bliss Rank. It's a myth that those who
enter the Transcendental Bliss Rank will lose their emotions and become like puppets
without feelings."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile moving through the darkness, Zeno shared some myths about the Ancestral Site,
which was the root cause of the Dark World's past turmoil.
"Actually..." Zeno suddenly said, 'There isn’t just one Progenitor Star. After the Ancestral
Site was destroyed, many of its core pieces were scattered and transformed into planes or
planets. However, powerful races of the Dark World immediately occupied these
Progenitor Stars. The Progenitor Star within the Endlos Plane is the only one that hasn't
been discovered."
James was surprised, not expecting such things to have happened in the Dark World. He
began to look forward to reaching the Quasi Bliss Rank and the legendary
Transcendental Bliss Rank someday. He believed that day would come very soon.
"It has been long since that battle in the Dark World. I'm sure there are already many
powerhouses at the Quasi Bliss Rank by now. The Halcyon Road is bound to appear again
very soon. I wonder what kind of storms will arise this time." Zeno sighed.
The trio continued to advance toward their destination.
