Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 615 Fate Has Passed

"Boom!"

After a hundred years, the void cracked open, a great array was activated, and Lin Fan walked in, enveloping him as he left the dam.

Time is out of place, space is shifting, and the long river of time appears in the distant sky, with astonishing phenomena. This is permeating the entire world!
Without a teleportation array, it's unknown how long it would take to return horizontally, and you might not even be able to find the way.

Only an old-timer like the Lord of the Forbidden Zone has connections to get in and out.

Soon, Lin Fan appeared in the restricted area, amidst broken walls and desolate, barren landscapes, unchanged even after a century.

"Thank you, senior!"

He nodded to the Lord of the Forbidden Zone without saying much. So many years have passed, and he didn't know what changes had taken place in the outside world. He needed to find out.

As soon as he arrived at the Three Thousand Provinces along that road, he frowned. The spiritual energy was much thinner than before.

"The mandate of heaven has passed, and the end of the Dharma era has finally arrived." Lin Fan sighed, and the whole world seemed to dim.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have undergone a great change. What used to be nineteen ancient continents, each in its own territory, has now all come together.

Now, it can no longer be called the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The earth is connected as one, and people can travel between each other without having to cross the starry sky.

The most serious problem is that Heaven is merciless, reaping the lives bestowed upon all living beings, greatly reducing their lifespan, and making it difficult for old monsters who could live for millions of years to reappear.

In an instant, Lin Fan knew all the things that had happened after he left: the Immortal Realm had already withdrawn its troops and the Immortal Gate had been closed.

At the same time, a large number of dark creatures also withdrew, fearing they would be affected by the end of the Dharma era, since even the supreme beings could only live for more than ten thousand years.

"I have already become an immortal in the mortal world, and Heaven's will cannot sever me with a single blow. Get out of my way!"

Lin Fan looked up at the fluctuations above, and a surge of blood energy rose from the top of his head, directly shattering them.

He had already experienced the Dharma-ending Age during the reign of Emperor Luo, which had an impact on human cultivators, but none of them could become immortals.

Subsequently, Lin Fan returned to the Nine Heavens, where the Holy Emperor Palace remained unchanged, occupying a single imperial star and standing tall in the sky.

Even though the world is in decline, the spiritual energy here far surpasses that of other places because longevity herbs are cultivated and protected by celestial arrays.

In particular, Lin Fan knew this day would come before he left, and he made many preparations in advance.

On the entire imperial star, not only are there immortal artifacts suppressing various factions, but there are also immortal corpses buried there, emanating faint longevity substances, forming a small world of its own.

It can be said that this is a rare pure land for spiritual practice, and it is not much worse than the major forbidden areas.

Therefore, cultivators living here do not have to worry too much about their lifespan running out and dying immediately; they can still live for a long time.

Of course, it's impossible for there to be absolutely no impact. A supreme being might not be able to live for hundreds or thousands of years, but living for tens of thousands of years is still feasible.

Compared to the outside world, this is much better.

"His Majesty the Holy Emperor is back!" As soon as Lin Fan appeared, someone shouted, and the news spread throughout the world, causing a sensation.

In an instant, everyone came out to greet them. The crowds were huge, with groups of cultivators and warriors, creating an extremely noisy scene.

"Very good, everyone is still here. Cultivate diligently, and one day I will lead you into the Immortal Realm to wipe out all enemies!"

Lin Fan spoke eloquently, trying to boost morale, because the Ao family had gone too far in bullying them, leaving them no choice but to hide.

"Roar……"

For a moment, many people were excited and couldn't help but shout, looking forward to that day.

Because they always believed that the Holy Emperor would always do what he said, and that nothing was impossible for him.

Among the crowd were Qingyao, Yuechan, and Qingyi. After a hundred years, their charm remained undiminished, and their beauty was unparalleled.

The three women looked like sisters when they walked together, and Yuechan and Qingyi, in particular, were practically twins.

"I'm sorry, it's because of me that you can't enter the Immortal Realm," Lin Fan said softly.

Initially, the invincible seed of this realm could bring a portion of its people to the homeland of immortals to escape the crisis of the end times.

The young generation of prodigies, such as the Immortal, the Ten-Crown King, the Blue Immortal, and the Witch, all entered the Immortal Realm before the end of the Dharma era.

Logically speaking, both Yuechan and Qingyi possessed three strands of immortal energy and had a chance, but they were forced to stay because of him. "You did nothing wrong. Everyone has their own responsibilities. There's no need to apologize to us," Yuechan said gently.

Over the years, she and Qingyueyan have become perfectly integrated, and every word and action of hers is extraordinary, like a fairy walking in the moon palace.

"Didn't you say you would lead us into the Immortal Realm? With you by my side, I believe becoming an immortal is only a matter of time."

"We can't... just let ourselves grow old and die, can we?"

Qingyao and Qingyi also spoke, their hair flowing, their skin crystal clear, as white as mutton fat jade, and their eyes lively.

Just then, as they were talking, a guest arrived outside the Holy Emperor's Palace.

Upon hearing of his return, Meng Tianzheng and Shi Hao rushed over without stopping; they were among the few who had not yet entered the Immortal Realm.

There's no need to say more about Shi Hao; like Lin Fan, he has a karmic connection with the Immortal King, so he definitely can't enter the Immortal Realm.

As for Meng Tianzheng, he had a strong sense of righteousness in his heart, thinking that if everyone hid in the Immortal Realm, who would protect this world in the future?

Besides, they were not the type to stoop to lowly standards; rather than compromise themselves, they preferred to live out their lives in their homeland.

"Old Meng, Xiao Hao!"

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're alright!" Meng Tianzheng and Shi Hao smiled sincerely upon seeing him return safely.

The group then enjoyed tea and conversation, discussing many things. They received numerous visits, but most were declined.

"In this degenerate age, it's becoming increasingly unsuitable for cultivation, and I wonder when it will end." Meng Tianzheng sighed, looking increasingly aged.

Of those present, he was the oldest, having lived for millions of years. If he didn't live another lifetime, his life wouldn't be very long.

Of course, this is not a problem. Lin Fan has an elixir of immortality that can allow him to return to his golden years and be at the peak of his vitality.

"No, I want to live out my next life on my own and try the mortal immortality method you mentioned."

Upon hearing this, Meng Tianzheng shook his head. At the same time, he harbored a wild ambition to continue the broken path and become an immortal in this realm.

Lin Fan nodded, feeling that he had a high chance of success, but still gave him a large dose of medicine just in case.

"Humans are subject to reincarnation, and so is the universe. The end of Dharma is just the beginning. One day, it will be revived again."

"Really?" someone asked expectantly.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "This has been going on for a long time."

But... people fell silent, and that silence must have lasted an extremely long time, perhaps more than an epoch. By then, they would probably all have passed away.

Suddenly, Lin Fan looked slightly puzzled and turned to look at his younger brother with a strange look in his eyes, as if to say, "What are you looking at?"

"Brother Xiao Fan, you're such a jerk!" Shi Hao said resentfully.

Lin Fan was speechless, then suddenly understood what was going on.

Although Zuizhou was captured by Anlan, Huoling'er was not, and her fate was changed. The one who did all of this was naturally Lin Fan.

Furthermore, he arranged for Huo Ling'er to not appear until the day Shi Hao and Yun Xi got married.

One can only imagine how interesting Shi Hao's expression must have been when he was sandwiched between the two women.

"I really missed it, hehe... otherwise I would definitely have recorded it." Lin Fan laughed, this was a dark history.

In contrast, Shi Hao sat there with dead fish eyes, his head spinning at the thought of Yun Xi and Huo Ling'er at home.

"Little brother, you're not good enough yet. Do you want me to teach you?" Lin Fan smiled and pointed to his harmonious goddess palace.

Shi Hao was taken aback, then immediately nodded, humbly asking for advice, his face all smiles, his expression as sly and obnoxious as could be.

However, Lin Fan only replied with three words: "Dream on!"

Shi Hao was furious: "..."
