"Emperor Wushi, Goddess Liu... It's a pity we couldn't obtain the Empress's card."
Su Han recalled the state of the Ruthless Great Emperor, clicked his tongue, and said nothing. Instead, he fused all the cards together.
In the next instant, he realized that his physique had undergone tremendous changes, and his strength had begun to slowly increase.
Suddenly, a loud bang seemed to ring out in Su Han's brain, and a large amount of information appeared out of thin air in his brain, which he absorbed and digested.
It seems like endless years have passed, yet it also seems like only a moment has gone by.
Su Han slowly opened her eyes, her expression calm and undisturbed.
He said softly, "This is truly unexpected."
Just now, Su Han glimpsed the past history of the main world he was in.
The Earth he inhabited was, in ancient times, a vast expanse of land that defied description.
And this land naturally gave birth to one powerful civilization after another.
Some cultivate immortality, some delve into magic, some study science, and some explore alchemy... different races, different paths.
However, each of these powerful civilizations, at a certain stage of development, would be invaded by evil forces, leading to the complete destruction of the civilization.
The previous era of human civilization was the civilization of demons.
The demon civilization, through studying historical relics, clearly realized this. So, when it reached its peak and sensed the invasion of evil forces, and after confirming that it could not defeat them, it sealed itself off.
Because the demon civilization discovered through research that the evil army did not want to destroy this world. It seems that they simply do not want this world to give birth to too strong a civilization or too powerful people. Once they confirm that the overall strength of this world has dropped to a certain level, the top powerhouses among the evil will withdraw.
"Unfortunately, the demon civilization's plan was good, but plans can't keep up with changes... A large number of demons! In the struggle against evil, their self-esteem was completely crushed, and they even willingly knelt down and were corrupted by evil."
Su Han sighed softly. This is what they call, if you can't beat someone, you become their opponent.
After the age of demons came the age of humans.
However, humans already existed during the demon era. Therefore, humans had a long, long time ago, and thus had an understanding of the supernatural.
Because of the demon civilization's escape, humanity has developed a set of methods for self-protection.
"Individual powerful beings in a civilization leave Earth once their strength reaches a certain limit! Is it to prevent being sensed by evil forces and launching a full-scale invasion? Or, if possible, to deploy various means to protect Earth!"
Su Han's expression was inscrutable. The infinite parallel universes of Earth, or perhaps sealing off most of Earth's surface area, making it appear smaller... these were all methods used by ancient sages to protect Earth.
Because we are too weak! So in order to protect the roots of civilization, we have no choice but to make this sacrifice.
"I won't be staying on Earth for very long," Su Han sighed softly.
A powerful figure like him cannot stay on Earth for more than a year once he appears; otherwise, special restrictions will be triggered, leading to a full-scale invasion of evil forces.
A full-scale invasion is not like the small-scale attacks we're seeing now.
First, there are endless evil beings at the level of Holy Lords, interspersed with evil cadres comparable to saints... and finally, they are led by the complete avatar of the Great Old Ones...
Moreover, even if you are truly extraordinary and manage to defeat the complete avatar of the Great Old Ones and severely damage the evil army, it doesn't mean the end. On the contrary, it may ultimately lead to the true arrival of the Great Old Ones.
Earth's past was incredibly prosperous. So many amazing and unparalleled civilizations emerged!
However amazing it may be... the final result will not change: complete annihilation.
The difference between human civilization and the supernatural is fundamental.
"It cleared up many of my doubts! But new doubts have arisen," Su Han murmured. He suddenly remembered the swollen woman he had encountered before.
Su Han initially thought that it would be extremely difficult for the Swelling Woman to descend into the real world, and that she might even have to reduce most of her power. That's why the previous situation occurred...
But now, Su Han realizes that it is not as difficult as he imagined for the incarnation of the Old Ones to descend.
"Moreover, if it were truly a matter of destroying the world, those Great Old Ones, or rather, their kin, could easily do it... But unfortunately, civilizations that have developed to a certain level will be destroyed by them, and then they will leave, sparing the world a way to survive."
Strange... This is very strange.
Su Han frowned, utterly perplexed. This was completely different from the situations he had encountered in other worlds.

Chapter 532 Perfection and Covering the Sky? Defeat of the Council Members
After much deliberation, Su Han still couldn't figure it out, so he simply shook his head and put the matter out of his mind.
He closed his eyes and entered the month of cultivation once more. He began to train and grow stronger.
In any case, becoming stronger is never a bad thing.
Su Han decided to focus on becoming stronger first, to see how powerful he would be a year from now... If by then he wasn't strong enough to withstand external invasion, he would have no choice but to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors, leaving his homeland. He would only consider returning when he was strong enough.
Su Han cultivated until nightfall. After having dinner under the care of the Shadow Ninja, he rested for a while and then fell asleep.
The next morning, after washing up, Su Han entered the misty space.
...
Mist rises, the palace is magnificent, and stone pillars marked with strange patterns are arranged in an orderly manner in the palace, with a mysterious charm flowing through it.
Su Han appeared out of thin air on the bronze throne. Looking down, he saw many council members present. They had clearly finished watching the Starry Sky storyline and were now engaged in a heated discussion.
