Even a humbled camel possesses more stature than a horse.
For millennia, the White Dragon Civilization, despite its waning influence, maintained its dominion over the White Dragon Star System Group and, indeed, the entirety of the Seventh Star Domain.
Within this civilization, from the divine lineages to the humblest families, all partook in its strength, granting everyone the right to practice martial arts and journey the Starry Sky Martial Path – a concept utterly alien to other civilizations in the Seventh Star Domain.
In most other realms, the privilege of martial arts cultivation was reserved exclusively for the nobility!
Martial arts served as a tool for maintaining societal stratification in numerous civilizations.
Yet, the White Dragon Civilization stood apart; its people were inherently like dragons, a status that inevitably provoked animosity from other powers.
A critical shift occurred fifteen millennia ago.
Adjacent to the White Dragon Star System Group, within the Seventh Star Domain, the 'West Sea Star System Group,' dominated by the [West Sea Civilization], arrived bearing a 'gift.'
This very gift became the catalyst for the White Dragon Civilization's ultimate downfall.
"Technology," Jiang Ye felt a tremor in his heart.
Precisely.
The 'gift' was named 'Technology'!
Before its arrival, technology was nonexistent in the White Dragon Civilization; only rudimentary projection methods were known, with martial arts taking precedence.
Consequently, for humans to traverse the stars, the sole path was to achieve the Third Break.
To navigate the cosmos, ascending to godhood was the only recourse.
However, the [Technology] introduced by the West Sea Civilization completely dismantled this understanding.
[Cosmic Starship]
With this vessel, even the most ordinary individual could traverse the universe, akin to a deity!
"Beyond the Cosmic Starship,"
"The West Sea Civilization also furnished numerous advanced technological methodologies," Jiang Ye contemplated. "These advancements enable powerhouses from the First to the Ninth Break to directly experience 'Ascension to Divinity.'"
"All of these developments profoundly impacted the White Dragon Civilization."
This impact struck at the core principles of the White Dragon Civilization.
The ideal of 'everyone is like a dragon.'
Initially, within the White Dragon Civilization, from the gods to the common folk, absolute faith resided in their civilization's system.
But with the West Sea Civilization's introduction of 'technology,'
They realized their error.
The West Sea Civilization represented a more advanced society!
As a result.
Fueled by the fervent advocacy of the West Sea Civilization, over half of the younger generation in the White Dragon Civilization began to doubt their own heritage, eagerly embracing the 'superior' West Sea Civilization.
This eroded the very foundation of the White Dragon Civilization,
Leading to the loss of innumerable talents.
"In less than five millennia following that,"
"The once formidable White Dragon Civilization fractured and dissolved into numerous smaller states," Jiang Ye lamented internally. "Its original glory reduced to a mere Level Three Starry Sky Civilization."
"Finally,"
"During a conflict between civilizations, it was annihilated by another Level Three Civilization within the same White Dragon Star System Group," Jiang Ye grieved.
The once-dominant overlord, thus, met its end!
And the Level Three Civilization responsible for the White Dragon Civilization's demise persists to this day.
"The Celestial Battle Civilization?" Jiang Ye's gaze sharpened.
Wasn't that the ruling civilization of the Cangxu Civilization?
"The Celestial Battle Civilization was not the direct architect of the White Dragon's destruction," the immeasurable will communicated. "The true cause of the White Dragon Civilization's downfall lay with the West Sea Civilization."
Jiang Ye gave a slight nod.
He could discern that the technology provided by the West Sea Civilization was precisely the instrument wielded to dismantle the White Dragon Civilization.
This method eschewed overt warfare.
Instead, it targeted the White Dragon Civilization's ideological bedrock, fostering internal collapse.
It could be said.
The West Sea Civilization managed to eradicate the once-great overlord with minimal exertion.
"Jiang Ye."
"I share this history with you not to instill hatred for the West Sea Civilization," the vast will conveyed. "You remain too weak; achieving divinity should be your paramount objective."
"Understood." Jiang Ye affirmed.
Disdain for the West Sea Civilization?
While the West Sea Civilization was undeniably reprehensible, Jiang Ye felt surprisingly little animosity towards them.
Had it not been for the obliteration of the White Dragon Civilization by the West Sea Civilization, he might not have been bestowed with such an extraordinary inheritance.
"This 'Civilization Collection' is truly immeasurable in value," Jiang Ye murmured to himself.
Beyond chronicling the history of the White Dragon Civilization,
it also encompassed the accumulated wisdom, hidden secrets spanning tens of thousands of years, and a multitude of martial arts legacies intrinsic to the White Dragon Civilization.
These were the most precious elements!
Even without the martial arts legacies, the sheer knowledge from these tens of thousands of years vastly broadened Jiang Ye’s perspective.
The cosmic expanse, a tapestry of stars, was far greater than he had ever imagined.
There were countless truths previously unknown to him, but now, they were all illuminated.
"An unparalleled treasure," Jiang Ye acknowledged its significance.
If news of this were to spread, second-level civilizations like Cangxu and Huanglong would likely be driven to madness by it!
"Jiang Ye."
Bai Gui inquired with a smile, "By now, you must have acquired a substantial portion of our White Dragon Civilization's ultimate skills, correct?"
"Indeed, I have," Jiang Ye replied with a slight nod.
Astonishing!
A brilliant flash illuminated his eyes, followed by ethereal projections materializing in the air before him.
These ultimate skills were accompanied by vivid projection effects.
"Star River Divine Body."
"Void Dharma Aspect."
"Nine Netherworld Ten Thousand Demon Palm."
"White Dragon All Phenomena Return to Silence."
…
An endless ocean of divine power ultimate skills, vast and profound.
The White Dragon Civilization had forged an incomparably deep foundation over the unceasing flow of eons.
Swiftly.
Jiang Ye discovered several ultimate skills at the True God level among them.
"These ultimate skills can directly pave the way to the True God Realm?" Jiang Ye exclaimed in wonder, finding this inheritance far superior to Qiufang's legacy.
"Indeed, they can directly lead to the True God Realm," the vast will affirmed.
"However, beyond the Third Realm of God, it is advisable for you to forge your own divine power ultimate skills," the vast will advised. "Treading the path laid by predecessors exclusively will not carry you very far."
