Living in the deep palace

Su Chen looked at the cosmic rulers kneeling before him, their expressions earnest, even pleading.

They are the pinnacle beings in this "dreamlike star sea," the emperors and gods of their respective star regions.

But now, having witnessed the horror of the Skeleton Lord firsthand, all that remains is the fear of the shattered "dream" and the desire to live.

"Everyone, please stand up."

Su Chen's voice was calm, yet it contained an undeniable air of authority.

He is now the "Lord of the Era," the "Guardian" of this world, and the "Ruler" of this world.

The value of his Golden Immortal Perfection is comparable to that of the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable, who is at the Great Perfection of the Fourth Realm!
He raised his hand, and an invisible force of "Tao" lifted all nineteen "Venerable Ones" up.

"The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea is right."

Su Chen's gaze swept over the "Sea of ​​Silence," riddled with holes and its laws in disarray due to the great battle, and his voice resounded throughout the consciousness of every "Venerable One":

"This mythical era was originally a fragment of a dream forcibly intercepted from the 'river of time' by the Celestial Ancestor Chen Sheng with his supreme power. It should have been annihilated before the end of time."

"Now, the ten primal forces have returned to their places, transforming into the 'Ten Thousand True Locks' to suppress the Corpse Venerable. This 'dreamland' has also lost its last source of power."

He paused, then said, word by word, "It is... collapsing."

Upon hearing this, even those who had anticipated it still turned deathly pale.

"collapse"!
The weight of those two words spoken by the "Lord of the Era" was enough to crush their resolve!
"May I ask Venerable Su?" The most impatient of all, Wan Jun Tianzun stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Where should we go? And where is the portal to the 'Star Sea of ​​the Future'?"

"Where to go?"

Su Chen smiled, then slowly turned around and looked at the "Taiyi·Myriad Dao True Lock" that stretched across the edge of the universe, exuding endless Dao charm.

"Although this 'dream' is fake, the billions of living beings born here are real 'existences'. They should not turn into nothingness along with the end of this 'dream'."

"We are waiting, not only to leave."

"More..."

Su Chen suddenly opened his arms, and an aura far more vast and profound than when he used "Reincarnation and Annihilation" before erupted from his body!

Rumble——!
Behind him, the once fleeting glimpse of the "giant tree" slowly solidified at this moment!

That was a magnificent tree, the Jianmu, whose grandeur defies description! Its roots were planted in Su Chen's "Way of the True Self";
Its canopy seemed to connect to all the heavens and myriad worlds! That was Su Chen's immortal aperture world within his body, no, it should be called the Taiyi Universe.

His inner universe has already reached the fourth realm of perfection.

The perfect Dao fruit of the Golden Immortal.

The inner universe of the fourth realm's Great Perfection. Plus, the insights gained from touching the fifth realm!

Su Chen is a unique monster.

"We will take the essence of this entire 'dream' with us, and all the indigenous people, and go together!"

"open!"

"Taiyi Universe!"

Su Chen gave a soft shout!
Suddenly, his Dao Fruit of "Perfect Taiyi Golden Immortal" began to operate! The illusory image of the "Jianmu Divine Tree" expanded infinitely in an instant!

A vast universe, no less magnificent than the "Mythical Era," brimming with endless vitality and the "Taoist Rhyme of Taiyi," slowly unfolded behind Su Chen!

This is Su Chen's "Immortal Aperture"!
No, this can no longer be called a "celestial aperture". This is a "prototype starry universe" with the "Tree of Immortality" as its foundation and the "Dao of Taiyi" as its heavenly way, capable of supporting an entire era!
"This...this...this is..." The East Sea Dragon Emperor's huge dragon eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets!

"Such a vast internal universe?!"

"Is Su Zun really only at the peak of the third realm?!"

At this moment, all the "venerable ones" were completely speechless.

Their proud "Fourth Realm" seemed so insignificant in the face of Su Chen's almost "creational" power.

The combined inner worlds of those twenty Supreme Beings are not even half as powerful as Su Chen's. Those unaware of the situation, just looking at the Taiyi Universe, might even doubt whether Su Chen is a being of the Fifth Realm.

"Everyone."

Su Chen's voice snapped them out of their shock.

“I offer the beings of this era an ‘ark’ for traveling to the afterlife through the ‘Taiyi Universe’.”

"You nineteen, immediately proceed to various parts of the starry sea. Sweep away the 'spark' of your race, and all the 'powerful beings' and 'traditions' that still exist in this mythical era!"

"I'm only giving you... three days."

"I will be waiting for you here! Three days from now, regardless of the outcome, the 'dream' will completely collapse. I will open the portal to the 'future starry sea' and take you away!"

In later generations, the starry sky will be afflicted by celestial calamities and external disasters.

Su Chen is planning to package all the powerful beings together and make them the core of his Taiyi Dao Palace in future generations.

"Yes!!"

"I will obey Venerable Su's decree!!"

The nineteen "venerable ones" bowed and accepted the order, transforming into nineteen streams of light as they headed towards the final corner of this "dreamlike starry sea".

However, at this moment.

Su Chen's gaze suddenly sharpened.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the void that had been reduced to "absolute nothingness" by the self-destruction of "Heavenly One Ancient Venerable"...

there.

In that place where even the "Tao" and "Law" had been completely annihilated, a faint light, as weak as a candle in the wind, yet stubbornly refusing to be extinguished, quietly emerged... the light of the "Primordial Beginning".

“Tianyi Ancient Venerable…” Su Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted.

He felt it.

Within that glimmer of light, the last trace of Tianyi Ancient Venerable's "obsession" remained.

Is this Tianyi Ancient Venerable's backup plan?
Resurrection method?

Also.

How could the mighty Heavenly One Ancient Venerable, the strongest life form born from the universe within Chen Sheng's body during the Dream Star Sea and the Fallen Era, possibly not have left himself a backup plan?

Even if the Hundred Treasures Celestial Venerable perished, he could be resurrected by the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable. How could the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable not make preparations for himself?
None of these supreme beings of the universe, those who have reached the fourth realm, are simple characters.

But soon.

Su Chen immediately sensed something was wrong; the primordial light was constantly being extinguished.

It turns out that Tianyi Ancient Venerable really didn't leave himself any means of resurrection, or rather, the means of resurrection had failed.

"Su Chen...the future of this world...is entrusted to you..."

Those were the last words of the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable before his demise.

"Entrust it to me?"

As Su Chen gazed at that faint light, a ripple stirred within his usually calm and undisturbed Dao heart.

"Tianyi...you gave your life to secure the 'future' for us, how could I let you...be the only one absent from this 'future'!"

"Your way is 'the beginning.' The beginning is 'the start'!"

"My path involves 'reincarnation.' Through reincarnation, I control 'life and death'!"

"I said, in this era, before me, Su Chen..."

In Su Chen's eyes, the emerald green eye that represented "life" instantly burst forth with a vast vitality that seemed almost tangible!
"There is no...real 'death'!!"

"【Reincarnation and Death】—Reversal of Life!"

Boom—!!! Su Chen actually forced the Supreme Dao, which he had just mastered and which had merged with [Life] and [Death], to be activated in reverse!

Instead of "annihilating," he used "reincarnation" as a guide to push the primal power of "absolute life" to its limit!
A beam of emerald light, imbued with the meanings of "new life," "reincarnation," and "beginning," shot from his fingertips and landed precisely on that tiny point of "primordial" light!
"In the name of me, the 'Lord of the Era'..."

"Heavenly One Ancient Venerable..."

"Return!!!"

He wants to resurrect Tianyi Ancient Venerable!

If Tianyi Ancient Venerable has no means to revive, then he will make this backup plan to revive Tianyi and bring him back.

What Tianyi Ancient Venerable could do, he can now do as well, possessing the Dao Fruit of a Golden Immortal at its peak and the foundation of the Great Perfection of the Fourth Realm.

And the status of those who reach the top!

Buzz—! ! ! !

That primordial glimmer of light, after being infused with this "life force of reincarnation," was like a "seed" that had received supreme nourishment, and began a frenzied "revival"!
The light is expanding!

The laws are reuniting!

A familiar yet aged figure slowly reformed amidst the interplay of light and shadow!
"This...this...this..."

The nineteen "Venerable Ones" who were just about to leave stopped abruptly and turned around abruptly after sensing that familiar aura!
When they saw the figure slowly emerging from the light, a silhouette of light and shadow, everyone's mind went blank!
"Heavens...Heavenly One Ancient Venerable?!"

"They've...resurrected?!"

"Body and soul annihilated... the Great Dao sacrificed... this... how is this possible... resurrection?!"

Even the majestic dragon roar of the East Sea Dragon Emperor became stammering at this moment!
What did they see? !

They witnessed a "miracle"!
A "Fourth Realm Great Perfection" cultivator who self-destructed his Dao Fruit and sacrificed everything was actually pulled back from the "nothingness" by Su Chen!
What method is this? !

This is the power of "creation" that only those at the "Fifth Realm" can possess!
Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone present, a hint of confusion and bewilderment flickered across the face of the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable, a face shimmering with light and shadow.

He looked down at his newly formed "Tai Chi Dao Body".

Then, he suddenly looked up at the three figures still standing in the distance, radiating a terrifying aura: "Calamity," "Rotten," and "Despair"...

wrong!

The auras of those three princes have vanished!

In its place stands a colossal bronze lock, stretching across the edge of the universe and radiating the essence of the ten primordial Daos!
"The lock... is it finished?"

"I...I'm not...already..."

The will of the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable has finally become completely clear.

He turned around abruptly and looked at the figure in blue robes who was floating in the void, with the "Jianmu Universe" unfolding behind him.

He sensed the aura of the "Lord of the Era" emanating from Su Chen, a presence that transcended everything else.

I also felt... my current state.

“My primordial origin… is shattered…”

Tianyi Ancient Venerable gave a bitter smile. His newly revived aura rapidly plummeted from the peak of the "Fourth Realm Great Perfection"... plummeted...

In the end, he barely managed to stabilize at the threshold of the "fourth realm".

He was no longer the "strongest person in the mythological era," but had become someone similar to Star River Celestial Venerable and Myriad Jun Celestial Venerable... in the "ordinary" fourth realm.

However, instead of showing any disappointment, his face revealed an unprecedented sense of relief and satisfaction.

It's good that we won.

He never thought of being resurrected, but unexpectedly, Su Chen, after this victory, was able to reverse life and death in this dreamlike star sea as the one who reached the top! He resurrected him.

He bowed deeply to Su Chen.

"Tianyi greets... Lord Su."

“In the past, I used my ‘divine secrets’ to glimpse the ‘variable’ that led to a life-or-death situation.”

"Only today do I realize... that what Su Zun brought was not a 'variable'."

He raised his head, his eyes, filled with light and shadow, brimming with boundless respect.

"Instead, it's a completely new... 'era'!"

"To witness the birth of this 'new era' with my own eyes, even if I fall from my realm, I... would die without regret!"

Su Chen looked at him quietly and nodded.

"Heavenly One Ancient Venerable, you have won the most crucial 'ten breaths' for this world. Your contribution should be prominently recorded in the annals of this 'new era'."

"Your path has not been shattered."

He reached out his hand, and a trace of the Daoist essence of "reincarnation" quietly entered the space between the eyebrows of the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable.

"You only need to cultivate your mind anew in this 'cycle of reincarnation.' Go, and when you reach the 'Starry Sea of ​​Future Generations,' you will one day return to your peak."

"Yes!"

A tremendous wave surged in the heart of the Ancient Venerable Tianyi!
This cycle of reincarnation actually contains a trace of Su Chen's understanding of the fifth realm!

This……

He bowed again, this time with genuine admiration.

"Tianyi receives the imperial decree!"

"Everyone!" Su Chen's gaze swept over the twenty "Venerable Ones" present once again.

"time is limited."

"Go!"

"Follow me!!!"

This time, the twenty "Venerable Ones" did not hesitate at all, and transformed into twenty divine rainbows, rushing towards all directions of the "Dream Star Sea"!

……

An unprecedented "great migration" began.

Su Chen sat cross-legged at the entrance of the "Taiyi Universe," his vast "divine senses" enveloping the entire "Dream Star Sea" that was on the verge of collapse.

His "Taiyi Universe" transformed into a giant net that blotted out the sky, and began to frantically devour the last essence of this "dream"!

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea returned to the "Dragon Palace of the East Sea".

Without the slightest hesitation, he swept his dragon claw and forcibly extracted the "Crystal Palace" that had been passed down for countless eras, along with the hundreds of millions of "dragon sons and grandsons" within it, transforming them into a stream of light and throwing them into the "Taiyi Universe"!
……

The Celestial Venerable of the Milky Way descends upon the "Sacred Land of the Milky Way".

His Taoist robe, formed from billions of stars, suddenly unfurled, taking away the "Starry Divine Kingdom" that he had personally created, along with all the "Star Spirits" within it!
……

……

Great Evolution Celestial Venerable, Myriad Jun Celestial Venerable, Hundred Treasures Celestial Venerable...

The twenty "Venerable Ones" displayed unprecedented efficiency over these three days!
They were like a group of highly efficient "porters," frantically sweeping away all the "wealth" they had accumulated over countless eras, including all the "powerful beings" who had reached the True Immortal realm or above, all the "heavenly treasures," and all the "inherited traditions" in this "Dream Star Sea"!

Rumble——!
As the essence of life in the Dream Star Sea is continuously extracted, the Dream Star Sea collapses at an increasingly rapid pace!
The stars are going out.

The galaxy is collapsing.

The rules are falling apart.

The once incomparably prosperous "Mythical Era" is now, at this moment, heading towards its end at a visible speed. (End of Chapter)
