Chapter 2463 - 2430: Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor Enters a Long Slumber

Jiang Ding inspected each of these top-grade formations for nurturing Immortal Materials.

There were thirteen in total.

This means that throughout the long history, the Human Race had thirteen Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors. Perhaps in even more distant epochs, there were more Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors, no, they should be called Forbidden Area Ancient Kings and even older titles, but all of their traces have utterly vanished over time.

Inheritances will disappear, formation methods will disappear, and the formations within the Dubhe will collapse.

Aside from immortals, treasures, mountains and rivers, worlds, organizations, and anything won’t be eternal; as time passes, they all eventually become ruined, missing, and finally vanish completely.

"Thirteen Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors of the Human Race?"

"Among these thirteen, how many have already died, and how many linger on, barely surviving like the Beidou Ancient Emperor?"

Jiang Ding murmured to himself.

The lifespan of inherited formations is far longer than that of Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors; perhaps more than half of these thirteen Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors of the Human Race have long perished. This is the last trace of their existence in the Endless Starry Sky.

A Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor would also die of old age over time.

This is a sorrowful reality.

"After today, in Dubhe there will appear the fourteenth top-grade formation for nurturing Immortal Materials, using millions or even hundreds of millions of years to nurture a kind of Immortal Gold, named Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold, to be given to the future Human Race Ancient Emperors, hoping they can traverse the River of Time and meet with me in the Golden Era."

Jiang Ding gently stroked the palace wall, releasing Sword Qi from his fingertips, inscribing a line on a Jade Pillar.

Compared to the legacy items like Dragon Emperor Immortal Blood Crystal, Nine Heavens Chaos Immortal Fruit, and others left by the Ancient Sun Emperor, the Beidou Ancient Emperor, and the like, Taishang Great Sun Ancient Emperor was extremely generous, directly leaving his best things without a single reservation.

Rumble!

Rumble...

In the solid sound of breaking, on the ground of Dubhe, a terrifying and dazzling Sword Formation rose slowly, its brilliance illuminating the starry sky and the River of Time. At the very center of this Forbidden Immortal Sword Formation, a slight piece of terrifying Destruction Spiritual Gold was growing at an incredibly slow pace, almost unobservable in its change.

This is the Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold Creation Sword Formation left by the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, Taishang Great Sun Ancient Emperor!

From now on, every Human Emperor of the Human Race at the moment of their ascension will receive a piece of Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold as a blessing and opportunity, to elevate their capabilities in combat.

Having completed everything, Jiang Ding stood somewhat blankly.

He remained silent in place for a long time.

Then he turned around and slowly walked toward the Supreme Great Sun Dubhe Front Hall, sitting on the Crystal Divine Throne, his gaze slightly lowered, looking at the large crowd of people in front of him.

At the forefront were twenty-one Imperial Realm Cultivators, from various Holy Lands, families, the Xianmen Sect, and others.

This was the last fervor of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty.

In the recent few million years, all Quasi-Emperors above the sixth layer of Heaven have gone mad, rushing cultivation headlong regardless of any hidden dangers or the future, with the sole desire to advance to the Imperial Realm and enter the Great Sun Forbidden Area just before it closed.

Recently, the death toll of Quasi-Emperors from the Immortal Dynasty has been a shocking and terrifying number.

These twenty-one Imperial Realm Cultivators are the final successful ones.

Behind these Imperial Realm Cultivators, there were almost no cultivators above the Quasi-Emperor Sixth Layer Heaven, very few indeed; most were early-stage Quasi-Emperor cultivators and a large group of Supremes.

At this moment, many Immortal Dynasty cultivators had red and swollen eyes, glistening with tears.

Many Immortal Dynasty cultivators felt deeply low in spirits, so profoundly sad they could hardly hold back their tears.

They did not want to experience this last moment of glory for the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty.

The Ancient Emperors had existed for many millennia before they were born, long to have become a natural part of existence; now, is it really time for farewell?

Among the many Immortal Dynasty Venerable Quasi-Emperors, the most noticeable was a Sword Cultivator.

The contemporary Dari Swordsman, the Heavenly Destruction Sword Son!

He stood respectfully, his head slightly bowed, showing no sign of transgression, even as numerous Immortal Dynasty cultivators looked upon him with increasing veneration.

Over the past three hundred thousand years, the prestige of the Great Sun Swordsman had deeply embedded itself in people’s hearts.

This was the strongest cultivator below the Immortal Dynasty Ancient Emperor, far surpassing regular Imperial Realm cultivators!

He would not enter the Great Sun Forbidden Area for eternal sleep; Taishang Great Sun Ancient Emperor did not permit it. The Ancient Emperor disfavored him, and the reason for cultivating the Great Sun Swordsman was for him to pass on the legacy, not to leave the Endless Starry Sky along with himself—that had no meaning; the legacy is the reason for the contemporary Great Sun Swordsman’s existence.

"Fellow Daoists,"

"Today, this farewell..."

Jiang Ding sighed lightly, his heart also rising with many complicated emotions.

Swoosh~

In the indistinct void, there came a gentle sound akin to flowing water.

Jiang Ding was startled.

At this moment?

Was it in this moment by pure coincidence?

"Sword Master!"

"The Time Spirit Rice, long cultivated and researched by the Immortal Dynasty, has succeeded at this moment!"

"Years of research have finally borne a positive and stable directional mutation. Hereafter, the Immortal Dynasty can stably produce Time Spirit Rice, greatly accelerating the development of the Time Path, and this should be a farewell gift to you..."

The Immortal Gate Governor, a Quasi-Emperor Fifth Layer cultivator, momentarily suppressed the sadness in his heart, forcing a smile.

The birth of Time Spirit Rice holds extreme importance for the Time Path and Time study, signifying a coming prosperity for the Time Path, now with a material foundation.

Hereafter, the transmission of the Time Path, the establishments of related sects, Holy Lands, families, and others, will inexorably increase.

"Sword Master,"

"The starry sky cannot bear your departure..."

Tears welled up uncontrollably in the eyes of many Immortal Dynasty cultivators.

Taishang Great Sun Ancient Emperor ruled the Endless Starry Sky for eighty million years, never once implementing tyranny or harsh policies, allowing Immortal Dynasty cultivators to enjoy a long and affluent peaceful life. None could help but yearn for such an era.

"Perhaps... it’s not a coincidence."

"But it’s truly a farewell, very thoughtful."

Jiang Ding chuckled, murmuring an ambiguous phrase.

No cultivator present could understand.

"Dear Daoists,"

"Do not mourn, nor be reluctant. Where can one not pursue the Dao? Where can one not seek the Dao? Today we part, and may I wish you all prosperity on the Immortal Path and hope for immortality."

"I, for the time being... take my leave."

Jiang Ding raised his cup, filled with a translucent juice, and drank it all.

"Sword Master! Take care!"

"May you, upon the arrival of the Golden Era, witness all the elites of eternity, contest all heroes of the human world, and ascend to the pinnacle of the Immortal Path over the bones and wisdom of the eminent of all time, achieving immortality!"

"Sword Master! May you become immortal!"

One by one, Immortal Dynasty cultivators forcefully suppressed their sorrow and shouted with all their might.

"Dear Daoists, you too, take care."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly, placing down the cup, casting a final gaze over the numerous cultivators and citizens present, and finally taking one last look at the Endless Starry Sky and his home solar system.

Then, his figure and the figures of the numerous Imperial Realm cultivators gradually disappeared.

Then, the Supreme Great Sun Day Pivot vanished like a dream or illusion, gradually turning into void. This heavy inheritance of the Overlord Human Clan in the Endless Starry Sky also slowly disappeared with the departure of the Ancient Emperor.

Today, the Human Emperor of the Overlord Race of the Endless Starry Sky, a peak power therein, an era’s most outstanding unrivaled elite, an unrivaled hero, a Forbidden Area Ancient King shining through the river of time across eternity, the Taishang Great Sun Ancient Emperor, fell into a long slumber, his Emperor’s Seal falling off, breaking apart in the Endless Starry Sky.
