Previously on High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System...
Jiang Ye receives a demigod artifact from Qi Tian before heading to the Shadow Race's lair. Qi Tian arranges for Demigod Li Qingqiu to secretly follow Jiang Ye and watch Zhou Huaifeng. Meanwhile, Jiang Ye enters the White Dragon Royal Court and begins a trial within the ten sacred white dragon mountains. He displays incredible speed and power, easily conquering the first nine mountains. Despite facing immense pressure on the tenth, Jiang Ye utilizes his unique laws to overcome it and gain control of the entire Royal Court.
At this moment, within Jiang Ye's mind,
a colossal influx of information converged, its sheer volume astonishing, reaching astronomical figures.
This data, like a tempest, surged through Jiang Ye's consciousness, inflicting an agonizing, terrifying pain.
This sensation.
Even the legacy from the True God Qiufang previously paled in comparison.
"Ah!!"
Jiang Ye felt as though his skull might fracture from the unbearable agony, compelling him to swiftly assume a cross-legged position, focusing his spirit to assimilate this torrent of information.
...
Time flowed onward.
A span of several hours elapsed.
Jiang Ye finally succeeded in processing all the information within his mind, and the dreadful pain began to recede.
What succeeded it was an overwhelming sense of exhaustion.
"This?" Jiang Ye mused internally.
At his current cultivation realm, absorbing hundreds of millions of words instantly would not induce even a hint of fatigue.
Yet now?
For the first time, he experienced profound mental weariness.
The reason was the sheer immensity of the data, seemingly encompassing the entirety of the universe.
To Jiang Ye, it felt akin to a mayfly venturing into the ocean, a feeling of absolute boundlessness.
"It's astounding." Jiang Ye harbored no complaints, instead feeling a profound sense of exhilaration.
This information.
Had originated from the supreme sanctuary of the White Dragon Civilization—the White Dragon Royal Court!
Its contained mysteries were far beyond comprehension.
"Jiang Ye."
"How do you feel?" Bai Gui had already approached Jiang Ye, a smile gracing her features: "You have conquered the tenth sacred mountain, and by right, you now command the entire White Dragon Royal Court."
As a Guardian Spirit, her role was to identify inheritors for the White Dragon Civilization.
However, her authority over the White Dragon Royal Court itself was quite limited.
Consequently, Bai Gui was immensely curious about Jiang Ye's current state.
"Command?"
"I do sense a connection." Jiang Ye carefully perceived for a moment: "In the unseen, it appears I've forged a link with a certain will; that will is vast and incandescent, like a blazing forge."
Precisely as Jiang Ye was deeply concentrating.
"I am the White Dragon Royal Court."
A magnificent voice echoed forth.
This voice was immensely powerful, yet it was difficult to assign a gender, as if devoid of one entirely, a peculiar characteristic.
Jiang Ye felt a resonance within his heart; as anticipated, much like the Dao Stele, the White Dragon Royal Court possessed its own sentience.
"Senior."
Jiang Ye clasped his hands in greeting and spoke.
"Jiang Ye."
"You have successfully navigated the tenth sacred mountain, thereby earning complete dominion."
The boundless will declared: "I have imparted the comprehensive [Civilization Archive] of the White Dragon Civilization unto you."
"I presume you have already acquired it."
"Yes."
Jiang Ye gave a slight nod.
Standing beside him, Bai Gui displayed a flicker of surprise: "[Civilization Archive]? Is that not an incredibly vast and intricate compilation?"
"Indeed."
Jiang Ye's gaze held a trace of complexity: "From the genesis of the White Dragon Civilization to its eventual decline, an immense repository of knowledge and information is contained within."
His tone was measured.
Yet, it left Bai Gui utterly astonished.
She was aware of the sheer magnitude of the [Civilization Archive]'s data.
Even the Blue Star Civilization, a mere Level 0.7 civilization with only a few millennia of history, possessed an incredibly weighty archive.
And the White Dragon Civilization was a Level 3 Starry Sky civilization!
Its historical span?
Spanning tens of thousands, or perhaps even over a hundred thousand years, one could only imagine the colossal volume of information it contained.
"Royal Court, your actions were overly hasty."
Bai Gui admonished: "Were you not concerned about overwhelming him?"
"Hehe, this young one's will is exceptionally robust."
The vast will responded: "Observe, he is faring well, is he not?"
Bai Gui rolled her eyes, then let out a breath of relief.
Fortunately, Jiang Ye's Martial Arts Will far surpassed that of ordinary individuals; otherwise, even a Ninth Break expert might have been incapacitated on the spot.
However, at this very moment, Jiang Ye was even more profoundly affected than Bai Gui.
"The Civilization Archive of the White Dragon Civilization?"
Jiang Ye marveled silently: "Truly a monumental historical record."
The White Dragon Civilization, originating within the 'White Dragon Star System Cluster' of the Seventh Star Domain.
Naturally, in its nascent stages, the White Dragon Star System Cluster was known as the 'Dark Star System Cluster.'
This appellation stemmed from the pervasive darkness, the rampant evil forces, and the incessant conflicts among various civilizations, casting a grim shadow over the destiny of any civilization birthed in this region.
To such an extent that, in its earliest epoch, the concept of 'Civilization Struggle' did not even exist.
The sole path for a civilization to advance was through predation and slaughter!
Not until the White Dragon Civilization ascended from the shadows, conquering all in its path and ultimately seizing dominion over this stellar system cluster. It forged unity across the entire super stellar system cluster, and at its zenith, its influence stretched across billions of light-years, commanding over a hundred Level 2 civilizations and boasting two allied Level 3 civilizations.
Consequently.
The Dark Star System Group birthed its first colossal cosmic civilization, on the precipice of becoming a Level 4 starry sky civilization.
Following this event, the Dark Star System Group was christened the 'White Dragon Star System Group.'
At its height, the White Dragon Civilization ranked among the elite in the entirety of the Seventh Star Domain, its renown even echoing through numerous other star domains.
Furthermore.
The White Dragon Civilization, through its own formidable might, propelled the White Dragon Star System Group into the arena of the 'Civilization Struggle.'
From that moment forth, all civilizations within the White Dragon Star System Group gained the capacity to elevate their standing via the Civilization Struggle, eradicating the need for primitive predation and conquest!
"The White Dragon Civilization that Bai Gui previously spoke of," Jiang Ye mused internally, "appears to fall short of the accounts within the [Civilization Archive]."
"That observation holds truth."
"By the time of Bai Gui's emergence, the White Dragon Civilization was already in a state of decline," Jiang Ye grasped the realization, "It was far removed from its period of ultimate prowess."
Thus, how did such a once-flourishing White Dragon Civilization descend into its waning phase?
The reasons behind this are considerably intricate.
Approximately fifty millennia ago, the White Dragon Civilization embarked on an ambitious bid to ascend to the status of a Level 4 starry sky civilization, only to suffer a devastating setback. Ever since that moment, the entire civilization has been on a downward trajectory.
