Chapter 2327: Envoys of the Myriad Clans' Emperors and the Human Emperors

I don't know how long it has been.

The Great Sun Dayang Tianchi in the Nine Heavens Solar True Fire gradually calmed, rotating like a crystal ball, naturally receiving the endless light of the sun, nurturing the world within.

This is the place where generations of Great Sun Sword Sons have grown.

This is the territory entirely controlled by all generations of Great Sun Sword Sons; even the Great Sun Sword Lord does not interfere with the Great Sun Dayan Dayan Jianzi's complete ownership of the Great Sun Dayang Tianchi.

In the past, the Human Emperor grew continuously within the Great Sun Dayang Tianchi, reaching his current state.

"Moon,"

"I ask you once more, do you wish to become life?"

Jiang Ding asked softly.

Moon, to the Human Emperor, is different.

This is the spirit that accompanied the Human Emperor since his youth, from the Foundation Establishment stage, always supporting the young Great Sun Dayan Dayan Jianzi, accompanying the Human Emperor throughout his entire life, never changing.

Like all previous Great Sun Sword Lords, the Human Emperor harbors deep feelings for the Great Sun Dayang Tianchi.

For many years, probably since the seventh or eighth generation of Great Sun Sword Lords, under the indulgence of past Great Sun Sword Lords, the Great Sun Dayang Tianchi has almost given birth to life, as if a sentient treasure named Great Sun Dayang Tianchi would appear in one or two hundred years, with no generation of Great Sun Sword Lord choosing to stop it, following the Sword Law to obliterate the nascent consciousness before it fully forms.

Yet, this state of being almost born but not yet born has persisted for over three million years, and the Great Sun Dayang Tianchi has remained in that state, never giving birth to consciousness.

Now, this generation's Great Sun Sword Lord, the Human Emperor, has asked the same question.

Moon, do you wish to become life?

"No."

"Dayan Dayan Jianzi."

Moon pondered for a long time, then firmly said: "Life has a lifespan, but as a treasure, I am an inanimate object without a lifespan, and I like it this way."

"I wish to forever accompany generation after generation of Great Sun Sword Sons."

"If I had life, when you reach your twilight years and the next generation of Great Sun Dayan Dayan Jianzi is born, I would not see that little one."

"I do not want that."

The Human Emperor's twilight years are roughly fifty million years from now.

No life can last until then.

No, to be precise, even a treasure would likely not endure fifty million years; it would have long since rotted away.

Just like mortal furniture, houses, and swords, man-made objects do not represent eternity; if time is too long, these things will ultimately decay.

Unless, generation after generation of cultivators maintain and repair this treasure.

Treasures and cultivators cannot be eternal, but life always is.

Generation after generation.

Each generation of life has its own treasure, and they are repairing the houses they inhabit.

Even if this house, from appearance to bricks and timber, is completely different from the dwelling of the first ancestor, its contents have been replaced countless times, rebuilt countless times.

But perhaps this house named the Great Sun Dayang Tianchi will still exist.

This might be another kind of immortality.

"Then so be it.

"Moon."

Jiang Ding let out a soft sigh.

Just as when this generation's Great Sun Dayan Dayan Jianzi first met the Great Sun Dayang Tianchi, he instantly pledged allegiance, and the Great Sun Dayang Tianchi will continue to nurture the next generation of Great Sun Sword Sons—this is her nature.

"May you remain in the mortal realm, forever in the mortal realm."

Jiang Ding could only offer this blessing.

"And me?"

"Commander, what about me, what about me?"

The spirit of the Super Battleship Great Sun, Yunri, emerged, raising his hand: "I don't want to nurture anyone; I want to always be by your side."

This fellow has been lonely for a long time.

The battleship's performance depends on the Immortal Sect's most advanced Immortal Path battleship technology; unfortunately, long ago, the Immortal Sect's highest battleship technology could no longer match the Human Emperor's swordsmanship, falling far behind.

"Yunri, it will be like this."

"The plan is to combine you with the Great Dream Sword Realm to form a Nine Heavens Dimensional Battleship, still requiring some prerequisite Immortal Path technologies—just wait a while longer—"

Jiang Ding revealed a hint of a smile, explaining.

This Nine Heavens Dimensional Battleship must certainly refer to the Forbidden Zone of the Ancient Emperor of the Restricted Zone, possessing the ability to block time.

In this regard, the Supreme Sun Heavenly Pivot, the Emperor's Seal, the Great Dao of Time, and similar studies can provide inspiration; the new Super Battleship Great Sun will undoubtedly far exceed expectations.

"Good!"

The battleship spirit Yunri saluted, speaking in a clear voice.

"Well, new technology is currently being developed—"

Jiang Ding replied.

Suddenly, his words paused, he gazed into the distant starry sky, and in his pupils appeared two somewhat distorted, somewhat decayed figures, bearing a heavy aura of time.

"Finally, you have come."

Jiang Ding said calmly.

Behind him, Gong Caiyu and the Fusang Empress instantly straightened their backs, their expressions solemn.

Two twisted black shadows, one before the other, appeared at the edge of the ten-thousand-star domain.

One figure had horns growing on its head, broken feathers on its back, its body covered in shattered scales and various eyeballs, hands, feet, claws, etc., resembling a violent hybrid of various demons, every piece of flesh rotting, exuding a strong aura of time.

The other figure was similarly chaotic, with eyeballs, fingers, mouths growing randomly, though lacking scales, feathers, or horns; vaguely, it appeared humanoid, giving the illusion of a "person."

These two figures abruptly appeared at the edge of the starry sky, without beginning or end, without cause or effect.

—

—How many years—

—Again, the era of the sovereign's birth—

A hoarse, rasping voice, intermittent and broken.

—Yes, the human sovereign of our clan.

A distorted black shadow spoke.

Without the expected arrogance and conceit, two black, twisted figures greedily observed each vibrant life in the vast world before them, yet did nothing truly, strictly abiding by the rules.

They remained honestly in place.

After an unknown time, a scorching, radiant, exceptionally vigorous figure appeared here.

This is a cultivator of the Emperor Realm.

"Two fellow cultivators,"

"The Sword Lord summons you."

The Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Emperor carefully examined these two twisted figures for a long time, revealing some scorching hue, and bowed respectfully.

"Sword Lord?"

"Is the human sovereign of this generation a sword cultivator?"

The distorted shadow exclaimed in surprise.

The Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Emperor bore a polite and proper smile, gave no answer, and simply said again: "Two fellow cultivators, the Sword Lord summons you."

A faint chill drifted through this starry expanse.

Even though these two black shadows were extremely strange, they caused no fear or hesitation in this sword cultivator.

The Sword Lord summons you—then you must go!

Not going means defying the Sword Lord's order, and you deserve death!

—Please, fellow cultivator, lead the way.

The two black shadows fell silent for a moment, then spoke.

They clearly understood the nature of sword cultivators, especially one of the Emperor Realm.

The two black shadows silently followed behind the Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Emperor, step by step toward the Purple Wei Star Domain, and all cultivators along the way completely ignored them—even quasi-emperors noticed nothing—as if they truly came from history, not the present world, and could not be seen.

After an unknown time, the Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Emperor arrived at the Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Pivot.

"This fellow cultivator representing the sovereigns of all clans may rest temporarily."

"This fellow cultivator representing the sovereigns of the human race, please continue forward to meet the Sword Lord."

The Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Emperor stood firm, slightly bowed in salute.

The two twisted, rotting black shadows, heavy with the aura of ages, paused slightly.

Then, the black shadow covered in various scales, feathers, and horns stopped, while the black shadow covered in fingers, mouths, and eyeballs continued deeper into the Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Pivot, posture extremely reverent.
