Eternal Night.

Chapter 952 A Single Thought Can Change the World
Immortal Clan...

As a dominant race in the multidimensional universe, their nature is actually very special, a fact unknown to these fifth-generation beings, because they searched through all the records left over from the multidimensional universe and found no mention of it.

As for whether it was because the Immortal Supreme was powerful as one of the five ultimate beings, or for some other reason that no record was left, or whether it was deliberately deleted, it is too far in the past to know.

However, the Immortal Race is very special. It is not a race that evolved naturally, nor was it created by other advanced civilizations. Its birth occurred before the Ark Era, during the largest war in the multidimensional universe. However, all information about its birth was erased, and even the other ultimate beings could not know about it.

And its essence...

Immortality and eternal life—this is the greatest secret of the immortal race!

All immortals, whether they are newborn infants or dying immortals, are essentially immortal.

This may sound contradictory, but once you understand the true nature of the immortal race, there is a reasonable explanation for this immortality. The reason is that all immortals are both one and ten thousand, both individuals and a group.

From the moment of their birth, the essence of all immortals will return to one upon death, and then split and evolve from this oneness, eventually transforming into each individual within the immortal race. Their memories, consciousness, and even their personalities will be contained and unified.

This is the secret to the immortality and longevity of the immortal race.

It is precisely because of this inherent uniqueness that even though the Immortal Race was born in that earth-shattering war, it still gave birth to an ultimate being after the war. This ultimate being became one of the five strongest ultimate beings in the multidimensional universe, and can be called a supreme being who dominated an era.

This is also why the Celestial Supreme was able to retain a fragment of his obsession. It is not that the Supreme's obsession is stronger than that of other Primordial Beings or other Ultimate Beings, but because its essence is the unity of all people, which then divides into countless others. Its essence can withstand the erosion of time, and the obsession of the unity of all people surpasses that of all other beings. Therefore, a fragment of his obsession was preserved under the endless erosion of time.

This is something the fifth generation didn't know, and what they also didn't know was that, because of this characteristic of the Immortal Race, their fragmented obsessions also converged into one, then diverged into countless others... That's right, all the living, the dead, even some mutants, monsters, curses, and all non-living things in District Thirteen all carried the obsession of the Immortal Race's supreme being...

The Celestial Sovereign, one of the five strongest ultimate beings in the multidimensional universe, even if it's just an obsession, once he regains his power, how could any mortal dare to lay a finger on him!?
With just this one cry of "All living beings, kneel down!", all life instinctively knelt down, and then, the world changed dramatically, as if the entire world had changed in a Planck's time.

Mountains, green fields, misty clouds, palaces, corridors, gates to the celestial realm, and layers of blue sky rise up.

The entire thirteen regions were transformed into a fairyland shrouded in clouds and mist. Layer upon layer of blue sky rose to the top, with celestial palaces standing high above, looking down with disdain for all living things on the earth, suppressing the entire world like the Dao itself.

Groups of humans began to appear on the earth. They looked bitter and were emaciated. They existed in tribes. Both these tribes and their tribes appeared out of nowhere. There were animal skin tents, bonfires piled with animal and human bones, totems carved from various bird feathers, branches, animal skins and bones, and altars filled with offerings. It looked like an ancient tribe.

On the towering mountains, half a level higher than the earth, there are numerous thatched huts and brick houses. Qi cultivators breathe in and out clouds and mist, eat raw pine nuts, and look up at the blue sky with longing and yearning in their eyes.

They flew through the air, into the clouds and the sky, but could not climb even a single layer of the heavens. They were still extremely far from the four heavenly gates at the bottom of the Heavenly Court. However, in terms of the stratification of the world, they were indeed a fraction closer to the Heavenly Court than the primitive people on the earth.

Further up, beneath the blue sky and atop the high mountains, layers upon layers of misty clouds drift by. Within these clouds, there seem to be floating lands, fairy islands, illusions, wonders, and grotto-heavens. There is also a group of people dressed in silk, with beautiful and handsome faces, and an ethereal aura emanating from them. They travel from the North Sea in the morning to Cangwu in the evening, playing all over the world, carefree and at ease.

They live in various floating lands, fairy islands, illusions, wonders, and grotto heavens. Their dwellings are all luxurious fairy towers and houses, their food is all jade, and their clothes are all brocade. They can also live a long life and have great supernatural powers such as moving mountains and filling seas. The people on earth also chant their names, and Qi cultivators are proud to become their disciples. However, they are still far from the Heavenly Court. Although they can fly to the Four Heavenly Gates, they cannot enter without an imperial edict. Although they are not bound by the Heavenly Rules, they are warned by Heavenly Punishment. Once they cross the line, they will be immediately destroyed by heavenly lightning, their body and soul will be destroyed. At the same time, although their lifespan exceeds the limits of mortal imagination, there will still be a day when they reach the end.

These carefree hermits are like wandering immortals in this world. Although they are carefree, they also yearn for the palace in the heavens that suppresses everything.

Above that are the Four Heavenly Gates, each majestic and imposing, guarded by powerful heavenly soldiers and generals. They are beyond the reach of mortals, the ultimate pursuit and goal of Qi cultivators, and forbidden to wandering immortals without imperial decree.

Ascending from the Heavenly Gate, the structure of the Heavenly Court spans several heavens, with the difference in extraordinary energy increasing from weaker at the bottom to stronger at the top. At the highest heaven, the palace itself exudes an incredible, immense power; every brick and tile seems to weigh a ton, possessing a mass far exceeding that of towering mountains on earth. The very existence of the highest heavenly palace seems to distort space and time, naturally creating the wondrous spectacle of a day in heaven being equivalent to a year on earth. From the four Heavenly Gates inward, according to the layers from bottom to top, numerous palaces stand, each with celestial soldiers and generals, celestial officials and clerks, and star lords who suppress each palace—a total of one hundred and eight star lords who govern the majority of the Heavenly Court.

Above the Star Lord, there are six central palaces connecting the upper and lower levels. As the central hubs of the heavens, these six central palaces possess immense power, with the great strength to connect heaven and earth. Each palace is ten or a hundred times larger than the Star Lord's palace, and the number of heavenly soldiers, generals, officials, and clerks is also ten or a hundred times greater. These are the Six Emperors of the Heavenly Court, serving as the link between the upper and lower levels of the Heavenly Court's authority, and also the highest authority in the middle and upper levels.

Further up, to the southeast, northwest, and northeast of the central main hall, there are four supreme halls, radiating boundless holy light, immense power, and majesty. Each hall is guarded by a supreme immortal who suppresses everything and protects the center. These four beings are pure and inactive, yet possess boundless power. Their very existence stabilizes the essence of the Heavenly Court. They are the foundation of the Heavenly Court's existence, its core essence, and the ultimate and strongest line of defense for the central palace.

These are the Four Heavenly Emperors, the four Heavenly Emperors.

The three strongest leaders of the fifth generation of the minority faction each transformed into three Heavenly Emperors. Their bodies were millions of feet tall, yet they condensed into human form. Their originally hazy faces now revealed their likenesses: two men and one woman, each smiling benevolently as they looked down upon the earth.

Then there was the most venerable Azure Heavenly Emperor, seated in the void, manifesting countless forms of sentient beings, countless forms of time, and the sequence of heaven and earth. His appearance gradually transformed into the appearance of Azure. However, compared to the other heavenly soldiers, generals, officials, star lords, the Six Emperors, and the Three Emperors, Azure's face carried a hint of doubt, as if hesitating or pondering something. But the cognition from the deepest part of his memory gradually influenced him, and in the end, he too became Him, the majestic and incomparably powerful, eternal and immortal, the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Pole who would still exist even if heaven and earth were to perish.

A half-winged butterfly, barely visible, seemed to be dancing gracefully within the time projection of the Eastern Qinghua Emperor.

In the central hall of the highest heaven, a figure seemingly outside the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements sat high in the void. Its very existence was the core of this world; heaven and earth existed because of it, and thus they existed. Its gaze transcended the river of time and space, transcended fate and cause and effect. Its very existence represented the definition of the word "immortal." Heavenly rules and regulations were born from its contemplation, transforming into countless inscriptions and runes that drifted through heaven and earth, then disappeared. Outside the palace, ten thousand immortals came to pay homage, each kneeling in worship. Four emperors opened their eyes, each with a smile on their face. Six emperors stood guard, suppressing the various layers of the heavens. One hundred and eight star lords displayed their power, revealing the celestial star map. Countless heavenly soldiers, generals, officials, and clerks knelt in worship, congratulating the supreme being of the immortal realm, the supreme and boundless God, on ascending to the highest place. Scattered immortals offered their congratulations, Qi cultivators were filled with longing, and countless people of the earth knelt in worship and sacrifice.

The Heavenly Court was thus established.

Only one person, holding a square steel broadsword, stood abruptly at the entrance of the central hall, showing no reverence.

He looked around and witnessed firsthand how this world came into existence from nothingness, appearing in an instant from the void. He also saw the endless darkness beyond the blue sky, where nightmares flickered. The pollution emanating from the source of the pollution was actually anchored as extraterrestrial demons, each baring its fangs and claws, attempting to break through the blue sky and rush into this earth.

He abruptly asked, "What about the legendary great gods of the early Heavenly Court civilization? Weren't there great gods?"

Upon hearing this, the entire world suddenly froze. Even the Heavenly Court's Supreme Being was filled with endless confusion, seemingly trapped in some deepest delusion, as if some logical contradiction had emerged...

With a crackling sound, this world began to crumble inch by inch, like a glass mirror shattering, spreading across the entire world. At the same time, two dazzling rays of light burst forth from Wu Pifu's body, and eleven more rays of light also burst forth around him, as bright as stars, as dazzling as the sun, and from them seemed to appear dragons, phoenixes, Qiongqi, chaos... and so on.

"So... it's fake?"

The human voice rang out again.

With a deafening roar...

Everything disappeared, and all around was steel land, steel dome, District 13 shelter.

Qing knelt on the ground, panting heavily. The three fifth-generation leaders, their faces filled with horror, also knelt on the ground, vomiting incessantly.

The humanoid figure of light, formed from obsession, pounced on Wu Pifu in a flash.
