[During the Age of Myriad Dynasties, the Great Xia Dynasty was led by the emperor-level powerhouse, Yu. The Royal Shang Dynasty had Tang, while the Zhou Dynasty was ruled by Emperor Wu of Zhou.]
[Other rising forces included the Endless Fire Region and the Desolate Region, where emperor-level figures such as Flame Emperor and Desolate Heaven Emperor emerged.]
"This is unexpected," Bai Ze thought to himself, slightly surprised.
However, his surprise soon turned into delight.
The simultaneous rise of multiple dynasties brought more advantages than a staggered progression. After all, only by having all of them thrive at the same time could the total points be maximized.
[The emergence of multiple dynasties exacerbated the fragmented state of humanity.]
[However, the rate of development became unprecedentedly rapid. Each dynasty commanded millions of citizens, with thousands of cultivators capable of participating in battles.]
[The strongest dynasties boasted populations approaching ten million, with countless elite cultivators under their banners.]
[In addition to the bloodline system, a new and even more formidable constitution known as the Imperial Vein was discovered alongside the Divine Body.]
[Those who awakened this constitution were essentially guaranteed to reach the emperor level, ascending to the highest realm in the mortal world.]
[Individuals who accidentally awakened such bloodlines were immediately revered as the new leaders of their dynasties and cultivated with full resources. The most iconic constitutions included the Supreme Body and the Primal Chaos Immortal Body.]
[At the end of the Sixth Epoch: As humanity continued its rapid development, the demon race began to stir again following the fading shock of the Dragon God's intervention.]
[During this time, the demon race made significant advancements.]
[Under the leadership of the Demon Lord, the demons engaged in internal conflicts and infighting, much like raising Gu worms, which resulted in countless saint-level demons emerging.]
[The Demon Lord established four great generals under his command, named after the Four Perilous Beasts of ancient legends. These were newly ascended emperor-level demons who held immense power.]
[Realizing the strength of the human race, the demons became more cunning and refrained from confrontation. Instead, they targeted the relatively undeveloped demon race.]
[Unlike humanity, the demon race had not benefited from a resurgence in bloodline strength. To this day, no emperor-level demon has emerged among their ranks.]
[Capitalizing on this weakness, the Demon Lord rallied thousands of demon armies to invade the demon race's territories.]
[Within a year, over a hundred demon clans were annihilated. Even saint-level demon leaders were no match for the Demon Lord.]
[The demon race's lands were occupied by the demons, giving them their first permanent foothold between the territories of humanity and the demon race.]
[Through their strategy of 'war-fueled growth,' the demons continued to evolve. Without any bloodline augmentation, countless saint-level demons were born, some even on the verge of emperor-level ascension.]
[Most terrifyingly, the demons developed a new ability: division.]
[Demons struck down by swords did not die immediately but split into two or even four identical entities.]
[This newfound skill made the demons even more unrestrained and fearless, driving the demon race to the brink of annihilation.]
[Desperate and helpless, the demon race's leaders approached the human territories, humbly requesting an alliance.]
[Although humanity was divided into countless dynasties, with various powers rising, none of them engaged in open warfare. The external threat kept them unified in their resolve.]
[Understanding the principle of 'mutual destruction,' the human dynasties readily agreed to ally with the demon race.]
[At the start of the Seventh Epoch: Several emperor-level powerhouses from the human dynasties personally led their forces to support the demon race, turning the tide of battle.]
[Despite their division and devouring abilities, the demons stood no chance against the overwhelming strength of the human emperors and had to retreat.]
[Thus began a prolonged stalemate.]
[The three races humanity, demons, and demons could not decisively defeat one another and instead focused on recovery and development.]
[With the help of humanity, the demon race gained access to a massive supply of weapons and pills, leading to the rise of several demon emperors.]
[Led by the Dragon Clan's demon emperor, these demon emperors were stationed along the borders to guard against the demons.]
[The demons continued to grow through their bloody and predatory methods, thriving on endless internal and external battles.]
[Among humanity, unparalleled achievements were made in various fields. Those who reached the emperor level through alchemy were known as Pill Emperors, while those who ascended through inscriptions were called Rune Emperors.]
[Even pursuits like music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and the six classical arts could serve as mediums for cultivation, leading to ultimate ascension.]
[Those who achieved such heights pursued their ambitions, unwilling to remain subordinate to others. They traveled to distant lands, establishing their dynasties and ruling their domains.]
[This transformation brought about the rise of dynasties such as Jin, Qi, Song, Chu, Qin, Wu, Yue, Lu, and Yan, marking an era of unprecedented prosperity within humanity.]
Outside this world, Bai Ze observed the rise of countless dynasties within human territories, deep in thought.
"By traditional standards, this would correspond to the Spring and Autumn Period," Bai Ze analyzed, his mood brightening.
"With the cultivation world's system and the long lifespans involved, this has resulted in a complete progression from tribal states to a fully realized Spring and Autumn scenario."
Vast numbers of human cultivators flew across the skies, their presence blotting out the heavens.
Thanks to the Mortal Heaven Technique, there was no longer a shortage of spiritual energy. Humanity had truly entered an era of universal cultivation.
Even the weakest top-tier dynasty boasted populations exceeding ten million, with nearly one million cultivators capable of waging war a truly terrifying force.
As time progressed, humanity's golden age would only become more glorious.
[By the mid-Seventh Epoch: The myriad human dynasties, each with their emperor-level powerhouses, ushered in a period of 'Hundred Dynasties Contending for Supremacy.']
[In this era of prosperity, countless saints emerged within these dynasties.]
[These saints, with their diverse philosophies, propagated new beliefs and ideas that inspired cultivators, accelerating development at an unprecedented pace.]
[Among them, iconic figures such as Laozi founded Taoism, advocating for governance through non-action, while Confucius emphasized benevolence and love through his Confucian teachings.]
[Mozi, Han Feizi, and other saints followed, establishing the Mohist school, Legalist philosophy, and other schools of thought.]
[Power, wisdom, ideas, beliefs, and faith reached their zenith as countless heroes and prodigies emerged, bringing humanity to its most prosperous era.]
[This period became known as the 'Hundred Schools of Thought' or the 'Contention of the Hundred Schools.']
[Surpassing the era of myriad dynasties and even the age of a hundred dynasties, the human race entered an unparalleled golden age.]
[In the annals of the Immortal Calendar, this era was known as the Age of Great Contention for Humanity.]
[The Primeval Epoch had officially entered its Golden Age!]
