Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 665 The Devastation After the War

Lin Fan traveled through the nine heavens and ten earths, returning from the Immortal Realm. Looking at the devastated world, he sighed softly.

In this battle, they both won and lost. The enemy was repelled, but suffered heavy casualties, and even the universe was shattered.

Not long ago, this land was teeming with life, but now it is desolate and barren, the sacred mountain reduced to scorched earth, stained with blood.

As can be seen, fragmented continents float and are scattered in all directions of the universe, no longer a unified whole.

Even those forbidden zones in the heavens fled to remote stars to protect themselves, not to mention the nearly extinct myriad races.

"The cruelty of the Immortal Ancient Era is being repeated once again, another cycle of eras..." Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh.

My former homeland, with its many acquaintances and countless events, seems to have vanished overnight, its bones buried in the green hills, never to be seen again.

"That foreign land is truly damned!"

Lin Fan was burning with rage. He had been doing his best to kill the enemy, but the power of the two realms was not equal, and the outcome was hard to change.

After World War I, what was left in this world? Only mountains of corpses, rivers of blood, and the wails of the wronged souls.

Once the battle between Immortal Kings began, the entire world collapsed; even the World Tree was no match for it and could not stabilize the universe.

"Where are Xiao Hao, Gu Zu, the two old men, and the others?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

Then, wherever his gaze fell, the entire universe came into view, and even the forbidden zones that had been hidden could not be concealed.

Finally, he looked towards the borderlands, where only the border of the capital remained intact, untouched by the great war.

"There it is!" Lin Fan walked towards the Imperial Pass with each step a fleeting illusion, already sensing several powerful auras within the city.

Soon, he saw familiar faces in the imperial city: Shi Hao, Gu Zu, the two old men, Meng Tianzheng, and others.

This was, in a sense, the last place they held onto.

"Holy Emperor..."

Many people shouted, initially excited to see Lin Fan return safely, but then all wept bitterly, revealing their sorrow.

Because this battle was too brutal, ninety percent of the living beings perished, and the earth was turned into scorched earth, making it difficult to cultivate in the future.

Fortunately, when the great enemy arrived, the Gu Zu acted swiftly, using his great magic to transfer a group of creatures away from their home.

One part was sent to the Imperial Pass, and the other part was placed in the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. In between, there was a vast and boundless world that could protect it.

Due to the limited time available, the number of people relocated was small, but at least some seeds were sown for the future!
“Gu Zu has done a great service; we have wronged him…” Some people felt very guilty.

Even with Lin Fan as a witness, some people still had doubts and were very unfriendly to the Divine Gu lineage, cursing them in private.

But after this battle, Gu Zu proved himself to the world, and from then on, no one would call him a traitor anymore.

In addition, the Second Under Heaven, Huang Daoxianjin, and others made great contributions, fighting fiercely with the Immortal King of the Otherworld and holding back a large number of enemies.

Especially Shi Hao, who fought a great battle with the giant Wu Shang; otherwise, the others really wouldn't have been able to deal with this demon king.

Invulnerable to all magic and immune to supernatural powers, it is a real headache for most Immortal Kings, as there is no way to restrain it.

"Brother Xiao Fan, the old men are all seriously injured and need medical treatment," Shi Hao said.

"I gonna go see!"

Lin Fan nodded. He possessed an ancient pill from the era of the Fallen Emperor. As long as the Immortal King had a breath left, he could revive him.

Fortunately, the old men were not seriously injured; their primordial spirits were mostly unharmed. After taking some medicine and resting for a while, they would recover.

Unfortunately, some people still died completely, and even the Nine-Colored Elixir could not save them. Ning Yu was one of them.

As one of Lin Fan's earliest followers, he was extremely loyal, yet he died in this battle. How could Lin Fan not be moved?

In particular, his grandson Ning Fei, though already grown up and even surpassing his grandfather, was still deeply saddened. Not only Ning Yu, but the Holy Emperor Palace's forces suffered half their losses in this battle, with the most senior members suffering the heaviest casualties; all eight of their former generals had perished.

Now, those who survived are all their descendants, who have taken their fathers' place and formed a new army.

"Waaah... Father, Uncle Black Dog is also dead. He fell in the foreign army and couldn't make it through," Lin Xi said sadly.

This is Lin Fan's daughter, a princess of the Holy Imperial Palace. Now she is graceful and beautiful, inheriting the looks of her parents.

Furthermore, since Lin Fan became king, he has not sealed her away again, and she has now grown into a graceful and poised adult.

However, after seeing her uncles and elders die, she couldn't help but feel sad; those people had all doted on her...

In particular, the big black dog had played with her since she was a puppy, and they had a deep bond. Now that she could never see him again, how could she not be sad?

"Ugh!"

Lin Fan sighed softly. Even a Celestial King couldn't be heartless. Although that dog was a bit of a scoundrel, it still had a sense of righteousness in its heart.

When attacked by foreign enemies, it truly fulfilled its vow: to die in this realm rather than be a coward.

In addition, Cao Yusheng also perished, buried alongside the dog's remains.

"Let's bury them. Maybe they'll come back to life someday and reappear in the world." Lin Fan seemed to have thought of something.

Several days later, he personally went to the burial site and paid a visit.

Because during this battle, the Burial Grounds intervened to help and protect the creatures in the Imperial Pass; otherwise, this place would have been destroyed as well.

Deep in the burial ground, Lin Fan arrived. This place was different from what he had imagined. Although there were countless ancient tombs, it was very peaceful.

There was a substance of longevity floating in the air, and apart from a trace of death energy mixed in, the environment was better than that of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths before the end of the Dharma.

The area is filled with rare medicinal plants, all shimmering with light and color. It must be said that the burial soil is very suitable for planting large medicinal herbs.

Furthermore, in front of a large tomb, there was a phoenix, its feathers mostly gone, guarding the entrance, which was quite astonishing.

"Tsk tsk tsk, a phoenix being raised like a chicken, what a grand gesture!" Lin Fan remarked, moved.

If he could, he would like to keep a flock of them in front of his door; just thinking about it is spectacular and high-class.

Unfortunately, the True Phoenix lineage of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was wiped out at the end of an era, and can now only be found in the Immortal Realm.

"Who dares to trespass on my burial ground?" A mysterious and powerful voice rang out.

Lin Fan's appearance naturally drew the attention of experts from all sides of the burial area.

Moreover, he did not conceal his aura; the slight exposure of his terrifying strength was more effective than any title.

"Please welcome the Immortal King inside!" A Burial King immediately spoke upon seeing him.

Lin Fan recognized the voice; it was from a Burial King he had saved when he killed Qu Chong. He understood somewhat.

"Hey!"

The next moment, the great tomb split open, and the phoenix led the way, guiding him into a magnificent underground cave, a hidden paradise.

Lin Fan was speechless. The living habits in this burial area were really unique. Even someone like the Burial King lived underground, just like the dead.

In the past, only the Netherworld was so lifeless, though this power had been destroyed for tens of thousands of years.

The reason for their similarity is rumored to be that they are intricately connected to the burial site, being a fragment of this world that has been lost to the outside world.

This is how the underworld came into being, where the dead became spiritual beings!
