Chapter 2361: Crafting a Counter-Cyclical, Fleeting Silver Great Age

When Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang looked toward the direction he sensed, in the darkness, whether by coincidence or something else, a royal-level being also gazed toward the center of Wu Jin Kong Kong, the Purple Star Abiding Star Region.

Here, I do not know where this is, nor whether it is the place where Wu Jin Kong Kong exists.

A rotting qilin sat cross-legged amidst a pile of corpses; before him stood a white-boned Daoist wearing a bamboo crown, his immaculate skeleton draped in tattered Daoist robes.

"So soon?"

"This generation's human emperor is extraordinary."

"Our two choices to revive in this generation were a mistake."

The rotting qilin smiled, looking at the white-boned Daoist: "You say so, Ji Yan Gu Huang?"

"This Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang also walks the path of extreme heat; perhaps he shares some incense affinity with you—why not beg him for a word, cast us a beggar's share of heavenly and earthly origin?"

Since the ancient emperor chose revival, it is highly likely he has slept too long, unable to await the calculated Golden Great Age, immortal substances exhausted, forced to revive.

If he cannot absorb sufficient immortal substances in this age, it is equivalent to death.

"Qilin Daoist, no need to say more."

"It is merely life and death."

Ji Yan Gu Huang laughed freely: "You would do better to seek the revival of the forbidden zone's ancient emperor—such as the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor—rather than pin hopes on my so-called incense affinity; this is indeed a famed figure among the Twelve Ferocious of Antiquity, watched by countless sword emperors, yet still thriving."

The Twelve Ferocious of Antiquity are a batch of extremely powerful races beyond the Wu Jin Kong Kong hegemons: human, phoenix immortal, and true dragon immortal races.

Once the human emperor, dragon emperor, or phoenix emperor is born, they innately carry racial foundation—such as Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's inherited Heavenly Pivot Treasure, transmission, and human Dao—likewise for the dragon and phoenix, the hegemons of Wu Jin Kong Kong, who are born with great advantage; historically, most emperors arise from these hegemonic races.

It can be said that the human emperor, dragon emperor, etc., are innately stronger than emperors of other races.

This is an innate great advantage.

Thus, a batch of extremely powerful race emperors conceived the idea of uniting against the Wu Jin Kong Kong hegemons—this is the Twelve Ferocious of Antiquity.

It can be seen as an alliance of races such as qilin, kunpeng, and the Great Strength Heavenly God Ant.

Compared to the extremely powerful Wu Jin Kong Kong hegemons—human, dragon, and phoenix races—this small circle appears more united in appearance.

The true internal state, however, is hard to say.

For until now, only one emperor exists per era, and no large-scale emperor war has occurred to test them.

"Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor——"

"Or possibly?"

The Qilin Gu Huang pondered long, offering a guess.

The present ancient emperor is a sword emperor, a human sword emperor!

For the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor, who possesses the essence of sword cultivation, this may be an exciting matter.

Moreover, the era of the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor is extremely distant—at least farther back than their own eras; though the forbidden zone's ancient emperor has greater longevity than others, now perhaps he nears his limit?

Time flows slowly.

Unnoticed, ten thousand years passed.

During these ten thousand years, the starry sky saw no large-scale war; only at the pinnacle of immortal Dao science and technology did cultivators above the quasi-emperor level know of the《Holy Sword Combat Interruption New Law Sacrifice》, iterated over a hundred times, unavoidably so, as the new law likewise mutates.

Often, the Holy Sword Combat Interruption fails completely, interrupting the rare immortal Dao ascension phenomena in Wu Jin Kong Kong.

The Dao Ting Immortal Dao Research Team engaged in this invisible immortal Dao scientific slaughter; sometimes gaining the upper hand, blocking ninety percent of new law sacrifices, allowing more special spirit lands to appear in the world; sometimes Dao Ting fell behind, the Holy Sword Combat Interruption failed entirely, and both sides used new law immortal arts as a chessboard, fighting continuously for ten thousand years without victory or defeat.

Here in the present immortal dynasty Dao Ting, they possess contemporary geographical advantage, a team of outstanding Wu Jin Kong Kong heaven's pride heroes counted across countless eras, and a future forbidden zone ancient emperor.

On the Dark Forbidden Zone side, they possess nearly inexhaustible immortal technique accumulation; Dao Ting's any response has appeared in history before.

Generation after generation of emperors, while alive, resisted and slaughtered the Dark Forbidden Zone; in death, they became members of it, their lifetime wisdom becoming its foundation.

This is nearly unsolvable.

During these ten thousand years, Dao Ting again completed a technological accumulation, a breakthrough.

Tai Shang Da Ri Tian Shu.

A batch of Emperor Realm cultivators came before the ancient emperor.

The present Dao Ting Emperor Realm cultivators are nearly twenty in number, a scene far surpassing the former Wan Fa Immortal Dynasty; these nearly twenty Emperor Realm cultivators, even if placed in the Wan Fa Immortal Dynasty, could not be sustained by it, unless the Wan Fa Ancient Emperor were willing to sacrifice great interests and delay his own Dao path.

This is obviously impossible.

And now, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang clearly has no delay in his Dao path—on the contrary, he continues rapid progress.

From this, the vast productivity gap between Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty and Wan Fa Immortal Dynasty is known.

Now, these Emperor Realm cultivators come to report good news.

"Jiang Ding, the first version of the New Law Spirit Lock has been completed."

As the chief engineer of the immortal sect, Yuan Zuo reported.

New Law Spirit Lock, a spirit lock targeting the new law; designed so that once it replicates and spreads through Wu Jin Kong Kong, it will completely interrupt new law sacrifices.

Now it seems, somewhat overconfident.

The emperors of history possess foundations too deep, even including the responses of many forbidden zone ancient emperors, unfathomable.

Without the great geographical advantage of the present immortal dynasty, this war would have no chance of victory; before Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang fully grows, mere escape would be fortunate.

"The prohibition on concurrent cultivation of the new law has been completed, Sword Lord."

The Harmonious Sect Lord reported with delight.

This journey has been arduous; fortunately completed, though the greatest benefits have been taken by sword cultivators, the remaining benefits still suffice to excite Emperor Realm cultivators.

"The Sacrifice Interruption Project is completed."

The Great Love Emperor Revered reported humbly.

This is the season of harvest.

Naturally, the origin lies in the sword cultivators' breakthrough of《Holy Sword Combat Interruption New Law Sacrifice》, followed by these projects' comprehensive breakthrough; during this process, 《Extinguishing Law Sun Immortal Scripture》also progressed slowly.

"Then let it be implemented."

"The ascension and transformation of Wu Jin Kong Kong belongs to this sovereign, belongs to all of you!"

Jiang Ding stared at the numerous Emperor Realm cultivators, his voice deep: "The emperors of history are thieves, enemies of all living beings under heaven. I ask you all to join me in building a radiant, glorious, brief silver age of逆周期!"

"In the future, we will go together to the Golden Great Age, to the great age of becoming immortals!"

The Sword Emperor depicted a clear and visible future, as if within reach.

"Yes!"

"We shall surely witness the Golden Great Age of becoming immortals!"

A group of Dao Ting Emperor Realm cultivators roared loudly.
