Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 562 No Longer in This Era
A certain time and space.

In the vast wilderness, a young man wanders the world, looking around in bewilderment...

He grew from weak to strong, constantly transforming himself, growing step by step in the realm of humanity, fighting in chaotic times, and bathing in the blood of his enemies.

This is Lin Fan, who is now very confused about where he has come to.
During his time-traveling battle with the Immortal King, he was sucked into a mysteriously appearing black hole and began to spin.

I felt myself transform into a rain of light, becoming particles, wandering in the river of time, unaware of how long it had been.

Finally, Lin Fan broke free from the river surface, flew out of the whirlpool, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange world.

This experience was mysterious and surreal.

Where...did I fall by mistake?

After that, Lin Fan fell silent, walking through this world, cultivating while searching for the truth.

However, the more he learned, the more turbulent his heart became. He had suspicions, but who could he confide in?
In this vast world, there isn't a single familiar creature left, only myself!

"This is no longer my original world, or even the time and space I used to live in. I have come to a strange era."

"The Ascension Platform? Or... the Eternal Flow of Thought, which sent me here?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled and confused.

He was destined to keep all of this buried deep in his heart. He did not belong to this era, yet he inexplicably came here and their paths crossed.

Of course, he had his doubts, thinking that this was just a test, and that he would eventually find a way out in some small world.

Perhaps it is all an illusion, a test, and that we must eventually break through the fog and return, like those who coexist with the true dragon.

But in the end, after going through layers of verification, his guess was wrong; the universe was real, but no longer existed in this world!
This is a vast world, so real it couldn't be more real.

However, Lin Fan quickly accepted this reality because he knew and firmly believed that he would break through the fog one day.

"There's nothing wrong with that. I'm free from all ties in this world, and I can fully dedicate myself to cultivation. Sooner or later, I will become stronger, reach the pinnacle, and comprehend everything!"

Lin Fan was optimistic, and then calmed down, walking in the world, fighting against all races, and honing his strongest Dao body.

Most importantly, this is a different world, unlike the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and it is experiencing the Dharma-ending Age.

The essence of heaven and earth is thin, and all living things are suffering from the backlash. This blow from the will of heaven is truly terrifying!
"boom!"

On this day, Lin Fan was also affected. A force within him became uncontrollable and ran rampant, causing the cliff he was sitting on to explode.

"Hey!"

Just then, a blade slashed down from the sky at lightning speed, bright and cold, shattering heaven and earth and destroying eternity.

The scene was terrifying, accompanied by the fall of numerous large stars, all brought down by the surging sword energy, an extremely dazzling spectacle.

Stars were annihilated, turning into dust, and the outer realms were torn apart, with dark rifts appearing everywhere, centered on Lin Fan.

As the Dharma-ending Age approaches, Heaven's will is like a knife, ruthless and merciless, striking down and devouring all living beings.

Of course, ordinary people cannot see this knife; it is invisible, a vessel of the Dao, and is only targeted at cultivators.

"Zheng!"

The blade fell, its light dazzling and terrifying to the extreme.

"when!"

In the sky, Lin Fan met the attack head-on. In just a moment, he had already unleashed several precious techniques, his divine power surging and runes boiling.

From the Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique to the Thunder Emperor Law, and then to the Eight-Nine Heavens Technique... every strike was unparalleled, a heaven-shaking slash that blasted the heavens!
His body trembled violently, and the cliff he had been standing on had already turned into fine sand in the aftershocks, creating a huge sinkhole.

In addition, one after another, large stars fell, swept down by the bright blade of light, exploded, and smashed through the earth.

However, this was only the beginning of the Dharma-ending Age, the first wave of impact, and Lin Fan had already taken a fatal blow. Although he withstood it and was unharmed, he couldn't help but sigh at the terrible and terrifying nature of this era.

At the same time, cultivators all over the world, without exception, were all stabbed, not just Lin Fan.

Most fatally, any living being that has been struck by the will of Heaven will have its lifespan drastically reduced, to less than one percent of its original lifespan.

Lin Fan is alright; he is still very young, not even fifty years old in this life, so the impact on him is minimal and he won't die.

However, for those ancient monsters who have lived for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, this is absolutely a devastating blow.

Ninety percent of the cultivators could not escape and were killed by the will of Heaven with a single blow, dying an unnatural death, and this number is still rising.

"My God, why is this happening? The Dharma-ending Age is too cruel!"

Many people screamed, their faces drained of color, filled with extreme fear.

"The backlash of the Great Dao and the decline of the laws of heaven and earth are the truth of this world, or rather, this is a process in itself?"

Lin Fan muttered to himself, having witnessed too much in this worst of times, and pondering and silently reflecting on this change.

As far as he knew, even in the original timeline, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would eventually face this day, rising to their peak and then declining, like a cycle of reincarnation.

"No... I don't want to die!" A loud cry shook the starry sky.

An ancient monster who had lived for millions of years passed away in the Dharma-ending Age, unable to survive.

Lin Fan remained silent, watching the grand event come to an end, like a bystander.

Because this kind of thing happens every day; this person is just one example, and he won't be the last.

This will remain true at least until the world is completely stable.

Of course, one in ten beings, like Lin Fan, survived, but fell from their original realm.

This was an extremely serious injury to the Great Dao, resulting in a sharp decline in cultivation and nearly crippling the cultivator.

However, this is not the most terrifying aspect of the Dharma-ending Age. The real issue is whether or not one can still cultivate in the future. Once spiritual energy is lost, all sentient beings will be shrouded in ignorance.

"With the body as the seed, all power originates from oneself. Even in the end times of the world, the impact on me will be minimal," Lin Fan murmured.

While all living beings are still struggling and worrying, the benefits of his path become apparent, and he is not afraid of any backlash from heaven and earth.

This is precisely why, while others' cultivation levels were declining sharply, Lin Fan's cultivation level was showing a subtle upward trend.

Even though he was no longer in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and had come to a new world, he was not greatly affected and was able to adapt quickly.

"But... the disappearance of the longevity substance and the sharp reduction in lifespan are real. If I cannot soar to the heavens, I will die of old age sooner or later!"

Lin Fan sighed, feeling a sense of urgency as he watched one powerful elder after another pass away, and even began to worry about the future.

"No, I must go back, return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, I cannot grow old and die in this world!" he shouted.

Then, he calmed down and laughed self-deprecatingly. He was thinking too much now; he hadn't even become a supreme being yet.

"First, I will become the supreme being, and then I will find a way to live on life after life, and finally become an immortal in the mortal world. This is what I am doing now and in the future."

Next, Lin Fan left, once again throwing himself into arduous cultivation, honing his Dao and path, hoping to become a supreme being as soon as possible.

However, the effects of the end of the Dharma are still ongoing, and this is only the beginning.

Later on, it became even more terrifying, with the Great Universe backlash, swallowing up the six directions and eight wastelands, and absorbing all the innate essence.

It wasn't until decades later that the situation gradually stabilized.
