Chapter 2427 - 2394: The End of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor’s Reign

"The breakthrough of the Nine Character Immortal Scripture has become inevitable."

"I also need to conduct the third experiment of the Nine Character Immortal Scripture. The purpose of this experiment is to explore a more perfect advancement scheme to connect to the future exploration of the Eight-character Immortal Scripture."

Jiang Ding softly explained to the Empress.

"The third experiment of the Nine Character Immortal Scripture... so that’s seven million years later?"

The Empress was somewhat disappointed.

At most, four million years later, she would have to enter dormancy.

In this way, she could not witness the Human Emperor’s promotion to the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, which would occur long after she fell into dormancy, at a time when she would know nothing of it, unable to be part of this important moment in the Human Emperor’s life.

"Your Majesty,"

"May I enter dormancy for four million years first?"

The Empress mustered the courage to speak.

Four million years is considered short compared to her thirty million years of Life Energy, and should not have a significant impact.

There is also another consideration. In the future Golden Era, the Empress must frequently awaken to preside over the Immortal Dynasty’s affairs, and having a mere million years of remaining Life Energy would be completely insufficient.

"Of course you may."

Jiang Ding nodded with a smile.

...

Time flies.

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor sat on the Crystal Divine Throne, his gaze instinctively sweeping aside.

No one was there.

He looked back at the Endless Starry Sky.

Between heaven and earth, there was no single creature he recognized, all lives were new, with no emotional ties, no shared experiences with him.

Under the starry sky, there was no creature he wished to kill, nor any provoking life stirring his desire for battle.

A deep-seated loneliness gradually emerged in the Ancient Emperor’s heart.

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor slowly stood up, paced, and entered Tianshu Pond, gazing quietly at the lotus in the glow of dusk.

Supreme Great Sun Immortal Medicine.

The Immortal Medicine had been growing in the pond for twenty-five million years, absorbing countless Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, Spiritual Liquid from the Immortal Dynasty, growing extremely slowly, now shifting from tender yellow to blue-white, then to dusk hues, and clouds resembling Original Ancient Talismans faintly emerged among the lotus petals.

A faint exotic aroma spread out, even a wisp could prolong the life of a Supreme for a million years, laying a foundation envied by life in the human world.

True Annihilation Dao’s supreme treasure!

This Immortal Medicine had matured, grown to its utmost.

"Unexpectedly, in these times..."

"Now, I can no longer call that old thing of Ten Thousand Laws Ancient Emperor, the big brother? Little thing?"

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

In reality, his own Life Energy was nearing its limit.

If unable to consume the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Medicine, he would die within thirty million years, with no solution.

The voice of the Ancient Emperor echoed within the Supreme Great Sun Celestial Pivot, stirring ripples, but no creature responded to the Ancient Emperor’s words, none.

In the passage of time, five million years passed.

The current Supreme Great Sun Celestial Pivot was cold and silent, with not a trace of noise, as it had been since the Empress’s departure, no creature had entered, not even newly appointed Imperial Realm Chief Maidens.

If any creature were to step in at this moment, they would certainly be filled with dread.

Here, the atmosphere of twilight, the embodiment of the Heavenly People Five Declines - filthy clothes, wilting hair, sweating under the arms, foul odor, no joy at the main seat - manifesting vividly, almost embodying cosmic calamity, Great Dao tribulation.

Any creature, even Emperor Realm Cultivators would instantly lose substantial Life Energy upon entering, and dying from exhaustion is certainly possible.

Because, this is an Ancient Emperor approaching the endpoint of his life!

Such terrifying cosmic sovereign-beings’ death has immense influence on the Endless Starry Sky, if uncontrolled, it would form cosmic calamity sweeping the Endless Starry Sky, resulting in the deaths of numerous strong figures.

At this moment, a figure never seen by Immortal Dynasty cultivators sat on the Crystal Divine Throne.

This was an elderly man with grey hair, a face graced with wrinkles, and muddy eyes.

His body was hunched, dried up and frail, wrinkles covered his face, age spots abundant, emanating a unique stench, with his blue robe dirty, resembling a lonely old man cared for by no offspring.

His Life Energy was exhausted, he was approaching death.

Suddenly, this elderly man’s murky eyes slowly rotated.

"If..."

His voice was hoarse and weak, reminiscent of sawtooth, more like a sovereign in his twilight years.

"If my mother saw me like this, would she be sad?"

"She certainly would, wouldn’t she?"

This old man muttered to himself.

Everyone has a mother.

Perhaps everyone, in the final moment of their existence, would recall their mother, think of when they were just born, and then of their current decrepit state.

"This world... truly dull."

"Dull indeed."

This old man strained to gaze at the Endless Starry Sky, he spoke with difficulty: "Even at this time, no challengers appear, from outside no Ancient Emperor awakens, no Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor takes action, from within no Imperial Realm Cultivators cause turmoil, young officers falsify military orders, almost Forbidden Area Emperor level Supreme Great Sun demon-slaying storming towards Supreme Great Sun Day Pivot..."

"None, none."

"Nothing at all."

"In this barren era, there’s no rival, no resources, no ambitious peerless Elites, everything is so uninteresting."

"Achieving immortality truly shows no sign of hope. My boast in youth was ultimately born of naivety."

The old man murmured.

The ancient Emperor was advancing towards life’s end.

Yet the human world remained tranquil.

Tick!

Tick, tick...

Time flowed on steadily, the second hand moved step-by-step, no one could hinder the passage of time, no one could halt life’s march towards death.

...

Endless Starry Sky.

Currently, the sixteen remaining Emperor Realm Cultivators, all Quasi-Emperors, all Supremes, even Heavenly Person Cultivators whose lives were fleeting like mayflies before the Ancient Emperor, ceased all cultivation at this moment, looking up at the sky, their eyes filled with expectation, longing, fear.

"The Ancient Emperor of the human world..."

"The invincible Human Ancient Emperor for thirty million years..."

Many ideas swirled in every cultivator’s mind.

The Human Emperor’s life was about to meet its end, during this period, the Immortal Dynasty did not seal knowledge or history, many cultivators could deduce it with slight calculation.

Xianmen’s Mother Planet.

All citizens looked up at the deep starry sky.

"A citizen having lived from antiquity up to now is approaching death..."

"I wonder if they can awaken again..."

The contemporary Immortal Gate Ruling Coin muttered to itself.

Numerous Immortal Gate Emperor Realm Cultivators, Quasi-Emperors likewise gazed at the starry sky, their eyes complex to the extreme.

Among them there were reluctance, sorrow, resentment from too much constraint, too many emotions, today’s Immortal Sect Citizens are not the same group who fought and killed alongside that figure back then, their life experiences differ greatly.

"The nine Deep Space Fleets of the Immortal Gate have already entered wartime status."

"The main defense direction is the Great Sun Sword Cultivation cluster, Magic Cultivation Super-tier elite forces, remaining Tushan Maiden Corps can be considered for negotiation..."

Immortal Sect Chief of Staff quietly reported to the attending Citizens representatives.

Everyone knew, once the Ancient Emperor departed, the Endless Starry Sky would descend into a brutal civil war, the Immortal Gate could not accept failing in such a civil war.

Everyone waited quietly.

Tick!

Tick, tick.

The second hand gradually approached the final second, resting where it ought to be.

The lifespan of a being invincible for thirty million years in the Endless Starry Sky reached its final second.

At this moment, the Endless Universe Starry Sky suddenly dimmed, as if something extremely core, crucial had perished, the Emperor’s Seal collapsed, the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao lost a center.

The heavens and earth entered a state of utmost darkness.
