Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 554 Shi Hao: You owe me my gratitude!

With the trials between the two realms over, the students of the Heavenly God Academy embarked on their journey of training once again, filled with trepidation.

"Hey!"

At that moment, someone cast a spell, and a golden road unfolded, stretching infinitely, leading straight to the deepest part of this continent.

Everyone climbed up, including Lin Fan, because the place they were going to was extremely special, and he wanted to explore it.

"boom!"

They didn't know how much time had passed when a violent tremor shook them, and they fell from the golden road into a vast ruin.

This place is desolate and ancient, with massive architectural ruins and crumbling walls, all telling the story of its former glory.

However, the golden age cannot be traced back; today, only ruins remain, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Even so, some of the symbols engraved on the ruins still emit strange fluctuations, demonstrating their extraordinary nature back then.

"The ultimate battlefield of immortals!" someone suddenly shouted, recognizing the place.

There are many legends about this place.

Most notably, and most notably, is a dilapidated ancient rooftop in the center!

Legend has it that during the first era, this platform was very legendary, and those who were destined to climb it had the chance to become immortals!

Unfortunately, it was ravaged in the past, and now only half of it remains, like a dark and gloomy mountain, looking extremely oppressive.

"There are great opportunities here, but also life-or-death crises. Whether or not to climb up is entirely up to you," an elder said.

This place is magical; everyone who goes up to the rooftop has a different experience, full of unknowns.

Some have entered the lair of a true dragon and been reborn alongside it; others have entered a medicine room and obtained elixirs of immortality…

They've always been different.

Of course, it also carries danger; some people get lost in the river of time and disappear forever.

Upon hearing this, the students of Tianshen Academy were both shocked and frightened, but having come this far, how many of them would back down?

They were all extraordinary individuals, the pride of their respective regions. Having experienced much, they all understood one principle: to gain something, one must make the necessary sacrifices.

Therefore, after learning the truth from the elders, almost all of them chose to move forward and set off to climb the ancient Tiantai.

"Shh!"

One figure after another disappeared from above, vanishing in an instant, their whereabouts unknown.

"Can the Ascension Platform really make people immortal?" Lin Fan muttered to himself, very interested.

Last time, he missed the chance to come to the Immortal Battlefield due to some unforeseen circumstances, so he naturally wanted to take a look now.

He then climbed onto the platform, his body blurred, and vanished in an instant.

The world spun around him; he didn't know what his destiny was, nor where he was going.

Gradually, Lin Fan felt as if he was being broken down, turning into piece by piece, like falling leaves, or like rain of light.

It was surreal; even the soul was disintegrating, turning into countless glowing particles that left their original spacetime, as if in a cycle of reincarnation.

In his confusion, he saw a great river... no, it should be the river of time, flowing endlessly through the years.

At first glance, it has no end and no beginning; it has no beginning and no end!
Lin Fan was shaken and snapped out of his daze, wondering where he had come from.
Furthermore, his current state is quite peculiar; his body has transformed into a particle, some of which are very bright, while others are rather dim.

"Could this be related to how many 'doors' are open inside my body?" Lin Fan wondered.

I wanted to observe carefully, but the river of time roared past from afar, its waves surging, the scene was terrifying to the extreme!

Furthermore, on each splashing wave, there is a creature, majestic and unparalleled.

Without a doubt, each wave represents an era, and those beings are the strongest of their respective periods, or rather, the chosen ones. Standing atop their respective waves, they shone brilliantly, representing the pinnacle of their time and illuminating the ages.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as an eternal peak or lasting legacy. As time goes by, even the most capable person cannot escape the erosion of time.

"Time is like a knife, cutting down the proud and arrogant; on the path to immortality, one can only sigh at the alluring beauty..." Lin Fan sighed, this was his current realization.

Then, as times changed, years passed, and people went through ups and downs, the river of time was always changing and never returned!
More and more images are presented, and history unfolds scene by scene, with heroes falling and fairies shedding blood...

These sensory experiences had a great impact on Lin Fan, leaving him somewhat bewildered. Where exactly did this come from?

Finally, boundless darkness descended, engulfing the long river. Lin Fan shivered and felt a chill run down his spine!
The fog, boundless and endless, surged like a strange black tide, engulfing one era after another.

"Has that ultimate number already begun to erode the long river of heavens?" Lin Fan was shocked.

This does not refer to other realms or immortal kings, but to a strange race, the Dark Immortal Emperor above the heavens.

Until a whirlpool appeared on the dark river, shining brightly and pure, dispelling the black tide.

This is astonishing; both the black mist and the vortex appeared suddenly, rooted in the river of time.

"Time is truly a strange thing!" Lin Fan thought in surprise. Now all he wanted was to leave this place, escape this predicament, and return to the real world.

"call!"

A strong wind howled, and fragments of time flew everywhere. All of Lin Fan's particles were sucked into the vortex and disappeared from there.

He yelled, trying to break free and resist, but it was of little use; it was insignificant compared to the suction force.

At the same time, everything went black before his eyes, as if he were experiencing eternity; in that instant, it felt like millions of years had passed.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Fan finally calmed down and opened his eyes, discovering that he was no longer a particle and had regained his physical form.

"Where is this place?" Lin Fan wondered. The surroundings were quiet and empty.

He walked forward and looked around carefully. The chaotic atmosphere made the various scenes seem unreal and hazy.

However, he could still see clearly that this was an ancient land, with bluestone paving the way and one huge palace after another standing tall.

Regrettably, this place is now abandoned and dilapidated, just like the depths of the previous immortal battlefield, which had witnessed a war.

The obvious knife marks, arrow holes, and handprints on those palaces, walls, and stone pillars are the best proof.

Where am I?

Just as Lin Fan was wondering, a voice came, making him look up and follow the source of the sound.

"Brother Xiao Fan, over here!"

"Xiao Hao!" Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise.

In the distance, a massive metal hall, as large as a small mountain, had no roof, only walls, but one could vaguely see Shi Hao waving from inside.

Lin Fan was taken aback, seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled and walked over, stepping into the center.

Upon entering, the scenery inside the palace changed dramatically, revealing a hidden paradise. It was no longer desolate and bleak, but filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, teeming with life.

"Little brother, I feel much more at ease seeing you." Lin Fan patted his shoulder, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao felt a warmth in his heart and a look of gratitude appeared on his face. He said, "Brother Xiao Fan, you still care about me the most."

"No, you've misunderstood. I mean, seeing you, this unkillable cockroach, means I can go back alive," Lin Fan said with a slight smile.

Shi Hao: "..."

That wretched Xiao Fan, you've ruined my feelings!
