"The Earth is known as an abandoned land left by the gods."
One of the two old men swished his white robe, hushing his voice just enough to exude mystery to the story.
"It is said that back in the ancient times, the Earth was actually a land of many divine gods. It was a flourishing and powerful land.
No other planets could compare with it.
During that time, the Earth was not only the center of our universe, but it was also the core of all the other worlds and universes,"
the elder added.
'Is it possible that the Earth had been this brilliant once?' Austin thought to himself.
He couldn't help but feel astounded and fascinated with these stories. He didn't know that his birth planet was a remarkable one!
"Unfortunately, soon after, all the divine gods left the Earth.
The Earth was eventually hailed as the abandoned land of the gods.
Before the divine gods left the Earth, they had worked together to set up many bans and restrictions of power to protect the Earth. Nobody knew why.
Entering the Earth was an extremely difficult task for cultivators.
If anyone forced their entry in its vicinity, they would suffer from Regression,"
another elder clad in white robe added.
The chronicles Austin had heard from them kept echoing in his mind. 'An abandoned land of the gods...
The divine gods had worked together to set up bans and restrictions of power to protect the Earth...
If anyone forced their entry in its vicinity, they would suffer from Regression!'
Austin cocked his head and kept on thinking about these. He was obviously confused, and a little surprised.
Of course, the old man had also only heard of these in myths and legends. It was up to the discretion of the listener whether he would believe it not.
"We found out about it by accident when we read some ancient books.
In our universe, there are ten places that are dubbed as the most mysterious places or the most enigmatic ancient relics. Among these ten places, one of them is the Earth.
Earth is indeed a very mysterious place, and that's something we can't argue about,"
the two old men further explained.
"Is this the same Earth that I have known before?
I can't believe that it's one of the top ten mysterious places in the universe!"
A wistful smile curled up on Austin's lips as he silently recounted his stay in that planet.
"Mr. Lin, if you want to know more about the Earth, you can go to our library to look for the ancient books about it."
Sensing that Austin seemed to be very intrigued with this particular place, the elder opted to let Austin read the tomes himself.
He could tell that Austin was very eager when any discussion related to Earth came up.
And his fascination towards it was justified. After all, Earth was hailed as one of the ten mysterious lands in the universe. Any cultivator would definitely take interest!
"That's very nice of you!"
Austin enthusiastically agreed to this proposition.
The two old men then led Austin to a three-story building. It was their library.
It was equipped with a lot of defense arrays, and there were several elders who were at the sect ancestor level guarding it.
Austin looked around the place. He found that there were plenty of antiquated books everywhere. Surely, some of these dusty tomes had contents about Earth.
The descriptions in these ancient books about Earth was really similar to what the elders just told him.
