Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 974 The Eternal Land
The endless primordial space, as the origin and cradle of everything, has a spatial structure that tends to extend like a spherical spider web.

Yes, it's quite similar to the primordial universe. There aren't many deep spatial structures, and many mysterious places are like the secret realms in the primordial universe, roughly located on the same level as the source world.

Therefore, after sensing the location of the Eternal Land, Lu Yunhe flew towards the distance while also venturing deeper into the space-time continuum.

Even with Lu Yunhe's strength, it would take him dozens of days to get close.

This shows that the infinite primordial space does indeed have a core location somewhere.

Various bustling world clusters and powerful, mysterious lands are all relatively close to each other.

Once a certain limit is exceeded, continuing to delve into the endless primordial space leans more towards nothingness than the endless.

It's possible that even after hundreds of epochs, the Primordial Ancestor might not encounter a single Origin World.

Even for the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos, the Chaos Space still held endless meaning.

The gap between the Primordial Ancestor and the Endless Primordial Space is greater than the gap between the Cosmic God and the Origin World. At least the Cosmic God can touch the boundary of the Origin World and even penetrate the barrier to reach a wider world.

"But perhaps beyond the endless primordial space, there is only nothingness," Lu Yunhe thought.

As the progenitor of Hunyuan, having mastered the highest level of power, he naturally began to pursue the essence of the endless Hunyuan space.

"The Way has no limits, the Way has no limits!"

Lu Yunhe opened his own domain of rules, but it was still incredibly small in the endless primordial space. He hadn't even reached perfection in his own cultivation, so he shouldn't consider deeper levels of power for the time being.

The Eternal Land, a mysterious place ranked among the top in the endless primordial space, is so massive that time is almost frozen.

Even primordial beings cannot survive there. Higher-level primordial beings are no match for a single grain of soil within it. World-class primordial beings would be crushed into dust by the immense gravity of the void if they entered. It is truly an unbelievable place.

Other mysterious places, even the Abyss of Destruction, do not have such a strong suppressive force.

Only the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan possessed the power to explore within it, and therefore it has always been regarded as the exclusive domain of the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan.

Lu Yunhe arrived outside the Eternal Land. The extreme pressure made him as difficult to observe as a black hole, and even the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos could not see his full appearance.

Although the whole picture was not clear, I could still sense one of the continents.

Swish!
Without hesitation, Lu Yunhe plunged into a continent in the Eternal Land like a shooting star.

Upon entering the Eternal Land, it felt as if one had entered a completely different world. All the rules and origins of the surrounding environment seemed to be locked away, making it impossible to mobilize even a fraction of them, leaving only one's own power behind.

Moreover, the Eternal Land seemed to reject all external flow; as soon as Lu Yunhe entered, he felt the suppressive power emanating from the world.

However, this suppressive force is closer to instinct, so it can only deal with world-class Chaos Sources, and at most suppress the Chaos Source Ancestor to a certain extent.

"This mysterious and exclusive place has never been known to have a master in the Eternal Land!"

Lu Yunhe landed on the ground, immediately stirring up a cloud of sand and gravel, each grain of which could kill a group of high-level Hunyuan life forms.

Lu Yunhe carefully experienced the rules of the Eternal Land and sensed a location in the center of the earth that was filled with primordial energy.

In the center of the continent, on a flat piece of land, there is an old-fashioned round table and twenty-nine seats.

"Welcome, Source Lord, to the realm of eternal existence!" A strange, cube-shaped voice rang out, its tone carrying goodwill.

"We had already prepared a spot for you when you were refining the Three Harmony Territory, but you only arrived today," the Feather Emperor, covered in warm white feathers, laughed.

The Feather Emperor is one of the few among the solitary immortals who has a clan, so he naturally wants to build good relationships with the lords in the cultivator camp.

After Lu Yunhe appeared, one figure after another appeared on the Eternal Seat.

The round tables and chairs here were specially crafted by the eternal beings. As long as you refine the chairs and leave your mark on them, you can travel across time and space with a single thought.

The Endless Chaos Space is too vast. Unless one has prepared a clone beforehand, it is difficult for them to communicate with each other, let alone between different factions.

Therefore, no immortal being would refuse this eternal seat. Having another channel of communication with beings of the same level is beneficial and without drawbacks.

Lu Yunhe merged a thought into the unclaimed chair, refined the rare treasure, and then sensed the auras of the other twenty-eight eternal beings.

They leave a connection with each other to avoid not recognizing each other.

As Lu Yunhe took his seat, figures began to appear one after another in the empty chairs.

The birth of a new immortal being is enough to make other beings take notice.

In the endless primordial space, power is secondary; only the ability to be immortal and indestructible can make one an eternal player. After all, once one falls, even the strongest strength is meaningless.

After all the twists and turns, the highest achievement in cultivation still comes down to immortality and eternity. Strength doesn't matter; living a long life is what counts as winning.

Soon, all the eternal beings descended, including the seven lords from the cultivator camp, four of the nine emperors from the naturally formed chaotic camp, twelve from the ice peak camp, and five from the solitary ones.

Including Lu Yunhe, there are a total of twenty-nine immortal beings.

Compared to the number of ancestors of Hunyuan, it is unclear whether this number is too small, and whether it can be further divided.

"After countless years, we have finally gained another companion—the Source Lord." The joyful voice of the Demon Ruins resounded.

The other twenty-eight figures present also greeted Lu Yunhe.

Many of them were old friends of Lu Yunhe, including the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the Three Emperors of Wind, Thunder, and Sea.

Although he had only recently become the progenitor of Hunyuan, Lu Yunhe had already fought against many eternal beings.

A seat in the Eternal Land, a seat reserved for those who are immortal and indestructible.

Regardless of what happened to each other in the outside world, both sides remained rational at this moment. After all, you can't kill the other party, and if you do anything wrong, it will be the other side who loses face.

Even the three emperors of the Wind and Thunder Sea, who had been beaten to a pulp by Lu Yunhe, were not looking unhappy at the moment, but they did not intend to cause any trouble.

Although they don't have that capability, their main combat clones and weapons have been severely damaged and are probably still recovering.

As for the eternal beings of the innate Chaos Origin life camp, such as the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, although they commanded hundreds of Chaos Origin Ancestors, they were actually in a weak position in terms of the eternal seats at this moment.

Perhaps because they were born into privilege, they lacked the necessary training, and many Hunyuan Ancestors were stuck at the Ancestor level.

The reason why the Infinite Serpent Ancestor insisted on fighting to the death with the cultivators was also because he wanted to hone the chaotic life forms within the faction.

Although overall, the losses of the Primordial Chaos Ancestors outweighed their gains, some Primordial Chaos Ancestors did advance to immortality during this period. If this is taken into account, the naturally formed Primordial Chaos Life Forces actually benefited overall.

In war, maintaining the overall number of Hunyuan progenitors without significant decline, while also allowing them to become eternal beings, is definitely a win-win situation.

It was for this reason that, even knowing that there was a risk of death in a battle with the cultivators, the Primordial Ancestors of Chaos were still willing to participate in the war, hoping to see if they could advance further.

According to the observations of the stars, many of the Primordial Ancestors of Hunyuan became even more powerful after the last war, and some even had the opportunity to become immortal beings.

Once a new immortal being is born in the Hunyuan life force, even if the last war resulted in heavy losses, it would likely make the Hunyuan ancestors restless.

Lu Yunhe's contribution in killing the Giant God Emperor was greater than imagined, because the Nine Emperors of Hunyuan were more likely to become immortal beings than other Hunyuan Ancestors.

On the battlefield, weapons clashed. Although the Eternal Land had frozen everything in time, it could not conceal the resentment of the progenitors such as the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

They almost won, but because of one person, they not only lost but also suffered heavy losses. Anyone would find that unbearable.

Compared to the reluctant greetings from Feng Lei Hai and the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, the cultivator lords were much happier, while those in a neutral position did not show any substantial attitude.

Lu Yunhe glanced at the eternal beings present. There were still too many people. In reality, it was just a daily communication channel with no real significance.

According to the information provided by Yuan, these unlimited seats were also created by those lone wolves. Although they were lone wolves, they just did not want to be coerced by other factions. Communication between strong individuals is also very necessary.

Even Sha Zhou, the strongest being in the endless primordial space, joined one side.

After all, whether they are cultivators or naturally born beings, they are all living beings, and they have the necessary needs.

"Yuan, when will your celebration to become a lord be held? I'd like to take my people to visit your cultivator territory then," the Feather Emperor asked with a smile.

The Feather Emperor and his people, by definition, belong to the category of naturally occurring chaotic beings, but they do not consider themselves to be such, instead forming a separate, independent race. Many smaller factions also share this view.

Just like the Hunyuan life forms within the Sanhe Territory, none of them considered themselves as naturally born Hunyuan life forms, but rather as a unique race.

Both the terms "innate, undifferentiated life form" and "cultivator" are too broad in their definitions.

The latter, in particular, strictly speaking, all beings capable of cultivation are considered cultivators, yet at this moment they are still confined to the concept of the eight lords' factions.

The situation was similar on the side of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, who simply confined the innate chaotic life forms to the concept of factions.

"My mysterious land—Sanhe Territory—has just returned to our territory and is currently resting. Let's hold the ceremony after we've settled in!" Lu Yunhe nodded with a smile.

To be honest, it was quite painful for these close lords who were "born with primordial nature".

Other Chaos Origin beings themselves do not agree with the concept of factions fabricated by the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and other progenitors.

Because of their origins, cultivators naturally regard all beings within the Source World as cultivators.

However, due to its limited strength, it can currently only protect 3,600 world clusters.

The Endless Primordial Space is vast, and the 3,600 World Clusters only occupy a tiny fraction of it.

Although other factions did not invade the cultivators' territory, they still occupied many world clusters, using the source worlds within them as food.

Even the progenitors like the Infinite Serpent Ancestor had their own territories in the Chaotic Origin Space, as did the progenitors within the Ice Peak faction.

The lords are truly powerless when it comes to the source worlds within this part of the world group.

Previously, Lu Yunhe was being suppressed by the innate chaotic life camp, and a large part of his territory had become a battlefield. Even after advancing, he only possessed the power of regional denial, and it was still very difficult for him to fight his way out.

As for the source worlds outside the cultivators' territory, the lords can only travel there occasionally, and save some lives within the source worlds when they have the chance.

In this vast world, many things are prepared for these people.

Just like the Star Lord, who from time to time would pack up all the life forms from the source worlds of other factions and bring them back to place in billions of worlds.

Other lords would also take away any cosmic gods who had the opportunity to peer into the cage if they encountered them.

Since the lords themselves took action, and the naturally formed beings mainly valued the origin of the source world, they didn't take it seriously.

But the lords who frequently visited these places kept a record of each and every one of them.

This is partly why the Yuanhe Ice Peak Ancestor and the others are like strangers.

Lord Minghuang once said that he wanted to expel all naturally born chaotic life forms, which was actually a common idea among the lords.

The Feather Emperor, who is now close to the cultivation camp, has also occupied many world groups, and the naturally born chaotic life forms under his command are also feeding on the origin of the source world.

However, given the Feather Emperor's overtures, it was indeed difficult to refuse at this moment.

"Welcome!" Lu Yunhe nodded.

"Sanheling, a rather mysterious place. The combination of the three highest-level forces of wind, thunder, and light has no weaknesses." The strange cube-shaped Demon Ruins said, "I will also have a good look at it when the time comes."

"I remember you also tried to conquer the Three Harmony Territory, the Three Emperors of Wind, Thunder and Sea. Not only did you fail, but you were even defeated by the Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Light and the others. I never expected that it would fall into the hands of the cultivator lords in the end," Mogus suddenly said.

"Megus!"

The three emperors of the wind, thunder, and sea, who had always kept a low profile, became furious upon hearing Mogus's words.

They just got thrashed, and now they have to celebrate, which is making the three of them very upset. They just want this party to end as soon as possible.

In the end, Mogus pointed it out, and he really couldn't hold back anymore.

The three of them were, after all, immortal beings. Although their power was a bit weaker, they were still immortal and not afraid of anyone.

"Megus, I think you should worry more about yourself. With so little power left, don't end up dying somewhere." The Wind Emperor said coldly.

"Looks like I need to get rid of the little bugs in my territory too."

Being defeated by the lord can only be attributed to inferior skills, but Mogus's mockery only fueled their anger.

"You can try to see if you can find my clone."

What was just a friendly gathering has suddenly turned into something else entirely.
