My Endless Life.

Chapter 646 The Last Land

This is the end of the world's ocean.

This is a secluded place that is absolutely inaccessible by ordinary means.

Yet within this secluded place lies a prosperous scene, resembling a vast world.

This place seems to be a mixture of all worlds, with cultivators, magicians, mechanics, martial artists, and people from all sorts of different worlds and cultivation systems traveling through the roads.

Skyscrapers stand tall along the streets, while celestial palaces and floating cities rise in orderly fashion.

Further away, mechanics' star-class warships patrolled the sky, while at the edge, the last intelligent beings of various worlds were setting up 'defense lines' to protect this entire world.

This place is known as the "Last Land".

It is the last hope and refuge in the world's oceans.

Of course, it might not be.

At the very center of this world stands a tower that connects heaven and earth.

Its upper part connects to the dome of this world, and its lower part connects to the earth of this world.

The part where it connects to the sky and the ground is thick, while the closer to the center it becomes, the thinner it becomes.

At the very center, there was only a glass sphere that let light through from all four sides.

The sphere itself is a room, or more precisely, a conference room.

The conference room may seem small, but it is actually boundless. With the help of a tenth-level expert who has mastered the rules of space, it could easily contain an entire small world.

And this is the meeting center for the tenth-level members of the various original realms.

It can also be called the "Conference of Saints".

Now, ten people have gathered inside the room.

They are respectively saints from the Cangxuan Realm and the Dongji Realm, two tenth-order beings from the Wanxing Realm, two main gods from the Pantheon Realm, two ancestral witches from the Savage Realm, and... a martial god from the Tianwu Realm.

Powerful figures from six of the Seven Realms attended this meeting.

Only the Soul Realm.

No one came.

Where did it collapse to?

As soon as these ten powerful figures from various worlds gathered, the sage of the Cangxuan Realm went straight to the point and asked a question.

The one who answered his question was a tenth-level being from the Myriad Star Realm.

A female mechanic.

She had long, silver-white hair and bright, crimson eyes, and her appearance even bore a resemblance to Zelia.

She is clearly from the Xel'Nak family of the Star Realm.

She is one of the six tenth-tier beings in the Myriad Star Realm, Charlotte Salnak, the White Calamity.

According to seniority... she should be Li Qi's grandmother's grandmother.

She was in charge of tracking the collapse. In accordance with the characteristics of a mechanic, she used machinery to observe from a distance. Before the machinery was destroyed, she used a special communication method, according to the pre-set program, to avoid the gravity of the collapse and send the message back here.

Among those present, even those at the tenth level, only she was safe enough to investigate the collapse.

Anyone else who goes there could be captured by the collapsing gravity and sucked into the collapse.

They have already paid the price for this.

The price of a saint from the Eastern Realm.

Upon hearing the saint's question, Charlotte sighed, her eyes shifting slightly, and the surrounding scenery changed according to her will.

The world's oceans are presented to everyone.

“Fifteen world times ago, I conducted an investigation. The rate of collapse had not changed much, but what I can confirm is that... all the Soul Realm-controlled areas centered on the Soul Realm have perished.”

"How long will it take?"

459,301 UTC.

Charlotte answered softly.

The time calculation method in this last place is still based on units such as seconds, minutes, and hours, but there are no units such as days, months, or years.

All reports involving time must use UTC as the unit of measurement, and this rule will not change until this final place truly survives the collapse disaster.

Charlotte's answer silenced everyone.

When time is converted to hours, a number of over 400,000 seems very large.

In reality, if this number were placed in the Cangxuan Realm, it would probably not even last for sixty years.

For cultivators in the Cangxuan Realm, it's almost just the time it takes to go into seclusion, or even less.

This expansion is happening at an alarming rate.

As Charlotte displayed the scene in sync, the tenth-tier members remained silent.

Charlotte, however, disregarded their feelings and, after reporting her findings, continued:
"According to the information we exchanged and the final world map we constructed, the collapse has only covered less than one ten-thousandth of the distance. If its speed remains unchanged, we will have a long time to complete the [Last Land]."

However, as soon as Charlotte finished speaking, someone disagreed. This person was a chief god of the pantheon, one of the few people present who did not resemble a human...

He has only a simple human form, covered with the coat of a supreme god, and looks like a glowing human model.

This is the 'Sun God' of the pantheon.

“It’s very long… and it’s uncertain how long it will be. Nobody knows if the collapse will gradually accelerate,” the Sun God said softly, then added, “Moreover, none of us know if this ‘Last Place’ can withstand the collapse.” Charlotte glanced at him and finally said softly, “If this place can’t withstand it, then nowhere can. In any case, we have made our last effort.”

From the moment the Soul Realm disappeared and they lost contact with the tenth-level Soul Realm, everyone realized something was wrong. It took them less than 100,000 worlds to discover the anomalies and collapse of the Soul Realm.

During this period, everyone came up with countless solutions.

Some suggested exploring the interior of the collapsed area, while others suggested searching for a path in the deeper darkness of the World Sea.

Some say that it condenses everyone's consciousness and soul into a treasure of extremely hard texture, preserving civilization and consciousness and preventing collapse.

But the approach that everyone ultimately agreed on was to come together and build a final place that could withstand the collapse.

This is currently the only way for everyone to see hope.

As for the others, in the end, it's no different from waiting to die.

Charlotte didn't want to judge whether these methods were good or bad; she just felt that since a choice had been made, one should try one's best to see it through.

That way, regardless of whether they can withstand the collapse in the end, at least they won't have any regrets.

After all, they have done everything they could.

"Didn't they say... there are some mysterious powerful figures?" Someone asked as everyone remained silent.

This is the ancestral witch of the barbaric realm. He is shirtless, and the exposed areas are covered with red tattoos, making him look very intimidating.

The Ancestral Witch looked at everyone and said, "It is said that there is a group of powerful beings who transcend the world. They have no fixed abode, their whereabouts are elusive, and their strength is beyond our reach. Is there no one who can find them?"

Few people know that above the tenth rank, there is a group of extremely special beings.

This group of people were referred to as Transcendent Ones by the powerful beings of the Primordial Realm.

Because they are like beings who have transcended everything in this world.

No one knows who they are, and few people have seen them, yet legends about them circulate among these tenth-tier powerhouses.

The tenth-rank individuals can confirm that this group of people does indeed exist.

Their numbers may be only a dozen or so, or even fewer, just a few.

They are at the very pinnacle of the world's ocean, a realm that none of them can reach.

Although it is difficult to go from the ninth to the tenth level, at least there is a path to follow.

However, the people of the Seven Realms had never heard of anyone who could grow from the tenth rank to a transcendent being.

There were even people who possessed strength exceeding the tenth rank, yet they still couldn't compare to those who transcended.

Some speculate that they are 'deities' that existed since the beginning of the world's oceans.

Some people say that the ocean in this world may be the 'playground' they created.

But regardless, if these transcendent beings truly exist, perhaps they could handle the catastrophe that is sweeping across the entire world's oceans.

However, no one answered the Ancestral Witch's words. After all, no one had ever seen a transcendent being, so it was even more impossible to find them to resist the disaster.

This silence lasted for an unknown period of time. As if to change the subject, Charlotte suddenly looked towards the location of the Azure Profound Realm:

"Speaking of which, where is your Moon Bell Saint? Isn't she usually the one who attends the meetings?"

The sage from the Cangxuan Realm who was attending the meeting sighed softly and replied:

"She said she was going to bring her apprentice over, so she dragged me here to be a conscript."

Most of the saints in the Cangxuan Realm, except for those who mainly cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, are very easygoing, and Saint Yueling is the most easygoing one among them.

She's just like a child, doing whatever she wants, as willful and capricious as she pleases.

Fortunately, though.

She is a good child.

……

Where is my candy?

The saintly Yue Ling, who is seen as a good child by some, immediately opened her palm and asked her good disciple Hong Ling for candy after receiving her.

Despite being a saint, Yue Ling looks much like an ordinary girl.

She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, and was wearing a gauze dress similar to the one worn by Hong Ling, but in a moon-white color.

On his bare feet, his right foot was wrapped with a red rope with a bell on it, but strangely, the bell did not ring when he walked.

Her long, jet-black hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, with only a few scattered red ribbons binding the strands. Beneath her inward-curling bangs, her dark, plum-like eyes were fixed intently on the red ribbon.

Recalling her words about wanting candy, she seemed nothing like a saint who governs a realm; she was no different from an ordinary little girl.

However, Hong Ling was used to this. She skillfully took out candy from her personal space, handed it to the girl, and said:

"Master, I heard that the world is going to end."

"Yeah, we're doomed, that's why they kidnapped me to make a big house for us."

Yue Ling ate her candy expressionlessly while answering Hong Ling's questions.

Yue Ling and Hong Ling seem to be the same; although they have rich emotions and are very curious, their expressions are as if they have no emotion and do not show any complex feelings.

It's unclear whether this is their inherent nature or a matter of their own understanding of the Dao.

Seeing that Yue Ling revealed the 'truth' without any apparent concern, Hong Ling was not shocked at all. She simply nodded slightly and responded with an 'Oh'.

He then shut his mouth and remained silent.
