Chapter 2101: The True Immortal Officially Descends Upon the Star Domain

The atmosphere was somewhat gloomy.

A sudden wave of melancholy.

Both of them watched the new students coming and going before them—so young, so full of vigor.

Both of them knew that, given the True Immortal's terrifyingly long lifespan, one day every old acquaintance would die before him, one by one, without exception.

This was the loneliness of the long-lived.

"Jiang Ding,"

"Xianmen will always be by your side."

Yuan sighed softly and said, "Generation after generation of citizens are born and die; no one lives forever, yet there will always be a new generation of citizens being born."

"We will pass away, drift away."

"But there will still be generation after generation of citizens, with the same education as us, the same emotions, the same attachments, and the Central Array Spirit Computer."

"Between heaven and earth, you are not alone."

"Alright."

Jiang Ding gazed into the distance, lost in thought.

"Let me recommend a talent to you."

"He should be able to live for many years."

Yuan, unwilling to dwell on such sorrow, changed the subject: "Do you still remember the perpetual motion hypothesis you put forward over three hundred thousand years ago? You even gave a general direction. That paper can still be found on Materialist Science, and over the years many citizens have produced many results on it."

"You mean,"

"the perpetual motion machine succeeded?"

Jiang Ding was astonished.

This was the domain of god-tier civilizations, of immortals—transcending the limits of mortals.

"No,"

"that thing is still a hypothesis. Broadly speaking, it's about the same as the previous civilization of Xianmen—the one that never stepped off their planet—still a delusion."

Yuan shook his head: "However, someone has built an antimatter reactor, although only in a laboratory."

"Antimatter reactors can provide energy far surpassing nuclear fusion, enough to spark an industrial revolution in Xianmen's spiritless universe, greatly strengthening Xianmen's spiritless technology."

"Xianmen has grown even stronger in the spiritless universe."

"One could say that after the coal energy revolution, the electrical energy revolution, and the nuclear fusion energy revolution, Xianmen is now seeing the beginning of a fourth energy revolution—the antimatter reactor energy revolution. Its significance is considerable."

"Do you think the person who triggered this fourth energy revolution can be called an unrivaled prodigy?"

Yuan asked.

Unrivaled.

For each person, the meaning of "unrivaled" is different.

For the True Immortal, an unrivaled prodigy would at least be a top-tier prodigy of the Endless Starry Sky level.

Clearly, this Xianmen elder was once again recommending talent to the Supreme Solar Sword Immortal, hoping to draw more attention to him and make his future path on the Great Dao smoother.

In the eyes of old acquaintances like them, the Sword Immortal was warm and kind—any opportunity he had, he tried his best to think of them.

But that was only in front of old acquaintances.

As for Xianmen itself, what he loved was Xianmen as a whole; he would not develop any extra feelings for any single individual within it. No matter how great a prodigy, they would not draw any extra attention from him. They could grow on their own within the Xianmen system, without excessive interference—detached as one who has severed emotions.

"What is this citizen's name?"

"He does indeed possess universe-level talent."

Jiang Ding asked.

"Lu Yuan."

"His name is Lu Yuan, the creator of the antimatter reactor that triggered the fourth energy revolution. He is currently a Nascent Soul cultivator; this achievement was made during his mortal period, at the age of two hundred and ninety."

Yuan answered immediately.

Over these years, a pattern has emerged in Materialist Science: only mortals can produce major, breakthrough results.

Cross-disciplinary cultivators have advantages in repetitive, engineering-oriented materialist scientific and technological exploration, but they often struggle to propose breakthrough theories. Whether this is interference and a curse from the immortal Dao is unknown.

"This is a true outstanding talent of Xianmen. His growth will help Xianmen grow. I will keep an eye on him."

"Please rest assured."

Jiang Ding nodded and agreed.

In fact, given his habits, he would normally let things take their own course entirely.

The Xianmen system was already scientific enough; top prodigies and outstanding talents would grow on their own. Although this process would involve many twists and turns, many possibilities, and the growth of top prodigies and outstanding talents also required luck—one misstep, insufficient luck, and dying along the way would be no surprise.

If he died, that was his fate, his luck.

As long as Xianmen's laws were not trampled, and the normal promotion channels and the immortal Dao research and development system were not disrupted, Jiang Ding would not intervene.

Yuan was different; he was far more sentimental.

He wanted to clear some obstacles for this unrivaled prodigy named Lu Yuan, remove some bad luck, and let him grow more smoothly.

The two strolled along the tree-lined paths of Clear Breeze University, chatting at ease.

Before long, they reached the campus's back gate.

"Please go back, Senior Yuan."

"I'm going out to clear my mind, take a casual walk."

At this point, a faint killing intent appeared in the eyes of the Supreme Solar Sword Immortal—this was an obvious pre-combat state. He never concealed anything; concealment spells were only used as a means to burst onto the battlefield and close in on an opponent.

The Seven Great Star Domains needed to be swept clean.

And immediately, right now—not a single second more to be wasted.

"Would it be too early?"

"You're currently in a heavy-injury state, aren't you?!"

"No matter what, shouldn't you wait until your injuries are completely healed before we talk about this?"

Yuan's expression shifted slightly, wanting to stop him.

This kid was one he had watched grow from a freshman into what he was now; the moment the boy stuck his rear out, Yuan knew exactly what he was about to do.

"There's no need, Senior Yuan."

"There's also no need to conscript the Immortal Gate fleet. I alone am enough, because the Solar God Lord, Lunar God Lord, and others of the Seven Great Star Domains are nothing but chickens and tiles—utterly beneath mention."

Jiang Ding said with a slight smile: "If the Wuji Sword Lord and others harbor ill will and take the initiative to attack me, that would be even better—joy upon joy."

As he spoke, an aura of an endless starry sky sovereign naturally radiated outward, as though his words carried the Mandate of Heaven, and what left his lips instantly became reality.

"But this doesn't match your usual steady-as-an-old-dog style."

Yuan said somewhat helplessly.

"In theory, there is indeed risk."

"But it's worth it."

Jiang Ding stepped out, his figure gradually vanishing from sight, only his voice lingering in place: "Senior Yuan, I've fallen over a hundred thousand years behind the other True Immortals in attaining Supreme. The Heavenly Dao data, manpower, and material resources we control have already begun to show a several-fold gap, and what's more, it's presenting a trend of an impending snowballing expansion."

"This kind of trend must be broken."

"I can no longer keep recuperating for tens of thousands of years, a hundred thousand years, sitting by and watching the other True Immortals snowball their tendrils outward into the many starry skies."

"Please rest assured, Senior. Among these Seven Great Star Domains, no Supreme can obstruct my will; the risk exists only in theory."

"Please wait for good news."

The voice gradually faded away.

Only Yuan, his face full of a wry smile, remained in place.

……

The Great Thousand World of Gods and Buddhas.

At this moment, a gale surged up, multicolored clouds rolled across the sky, the Heavenly Dao rules stirred, and the authority of the Great Dao of Law Annihilation manifested in the heavens, forming all manner of dusky omens that, like a storm, instantly swept through every world of the Seven Great Star Domains—Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou, Seven Killings, Greedy Wolf, and the rest—appearing in the sky where all could see.

An utterly terrifying pressure shrouded the star domains, making even Supremes unable to stop trembling, unable to suppress the instinctive urge to worship and submit.

This was the natural omen of a True Immortal's appearance,

This was the True Immortal's Great Dao laurel manifesting within the Heavenly Dao and the starry sky!

Amid the Supremes' shock, terror, agitation, unease, and all manner of inexpressible emotions, the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal truly descended upon the star domains, bringing an entirely new order to them.
