Chapter 2374: In the Golden Great Age, I Will Become an Immortal

After many strong warriors went on expedition, the starry sky became somewhat quiet and dull for a time.

Jiang Ding and the Fusang Emperor and Empress, along with Gong Caiyu, strolled through the starry sky, a rare sightseeing tour, passing through world after world, personally witnessing the myriad splendid landscapes within them.

The Beidou Qianqian World, the Zhu Que Qianqian World, the Fallen Realm — the three walked step by step, occasionally chatting idly about something.

Of course, the place where the three stayed the longest was still the Beiyuan Minor Realm.

Too much time had passed — over three million years; in Shen Zhou, the seas had turned to fields and back, even the mountains had collapsed, the seas had dried up and become forests, and the people there were utterly unknown, with not even a trace in historical records; that era existed only in the hearts of a few cultivators.

"Your Majesty, the Fallen Realm — "

The Fusang Empress whispered.

The Fallen Immortal Realm, the place where Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang attained the Dao, was mysteriously aligned with some fortune in the dark.

"Related to immortals, suspected to be the ancient emperor's resting place in a forbidden zone."

"Many secrets lie within."

Jiang Ding shook his head slightly: "But I cannot explore it; I find no trace, the time has not come, and any effort would be futile."

"Hmm.

"

The Fusang Empress nodded lightly.

Gong Caiyu stood there, adorably alert, vigilantly watching her surroundings at all times.

The three took a few more steps, passed the inspection of the Central Array Spirit Computer, and re-entered the mother star.

These years, the three had often come here, though mostly through avatars, always accompanying mother and sister; the two women had both ascended to Eight Tribulations Supreme Sovereign many years ago, with lifespans of three million years.

This was not due to their talent and ability alone, but rather the exceptional qualities of their half-immortal bodies driving progress; personal effort likely accounted for between 0.5% and 1%, while the rest came from the Human Emperor's various resources expended without cost, which barely allowed their advancement.

Without this, even achieving the status of Eight Tribulations Supreme Sovereign among the top talents of the endless starry sky would be impossible.

This is the limit.

There is no possibility of advancing to quasi-emperor, let alone emperor realm — that is mere fantasy.

Even if all the outstanding talents of the endless starry sky were gathered, the Human Emperor could not deliberately cultivate emperor-realm cultivators; he could only provide a favorable environment, as generation after generation of talents died, numbering in the tens of trillions, hundreds of trillions, or more, and only through chance and coincidence did emperor-realm cultivators emerge over the ages — mass production is impossible.

Amid the shifting of heaven and earth, the three appeared in the family's small residence and merged with the avatar who was dining.

The meal was still made from the Taiching Flying Sword's split blade, its flavor renewed and improved compared to before.

"Dingding, will this battle be victorious?"

"Will many people die?"

Lin Wanqiu asked anxiously.

"Yes, Mother, we will win, and likewise, people will die."

"The cycle of rebirth in Shen Zhou has occurred countless times; no matter what, someone will always die, even if nothing is done."

Jiang Ding comforted her.

"Ah,"

"Well then."

Lin Wanqiu sighed softly.

On the contrary, Jiang Yuan appeared much more lively; after enduring over a million years of long ages, she remained carefree and asked: "Brother, are you building the Slumbering Forbidden Zone, is that so?"

"Oh?

"

"You know?"

Jiang Ding became somewhat curious.

This is a top-secret project, immensely vast, broken down into tens of trillions of Shi Dao Gong Ye project clusters; many people spent their entire lives on related tasks without knowing they participated, only aware they produced some component or some Shi Dao Gong Ye synthesized product, unaware of its purpose.

"Brother, you underestimated me, didn't you?"

Jiang Yuan rolled her eyes: "These years I've also studied diligently; the half-immortal body is profoundly mysterious, I surpass many Eight Tribulations Supreme Sovereigns, and with my innate political reliability at full score, I naturally qualify for many confidential projects — who needs to tell me what to do!"

As the Human Emperor's sister, she is naturally politically flawless, even without any overt legal privileges.

"Alright."

"I always thought you were a salted fish, you know."

Jiang Ding suddenly realized.

This has been a long-standing stereotype, never changed.

"Nonsense!"

"These years I've been a Shi Dao Gong Ye research elite!"

Jiang Yuan felt proud for a while, then asked: "I want to say, have you reactivated the plan for me and Mother to slumber and await the Golden Great Age? If so, we can prepare."

Lin Wanqiu also looked over, her eyes filled with reluctance.

The lifespan of an Eight Tribulations Supreme Sovereign is three million years.

But for the Human Emperor, this is still a very short span of time, and already more than half has passed.

She still longs for Shen Zhou, wanting to spend time with her son, accompany him, and not let him face this world alone and lonely.

"Golden Great Age — "

Jiang Ding fell silent, gazing into the distance, without immediately answering.

After a long while, she looked at her mother and sister, feeling somewhat sorrowful, her voice somewhat muffled: "It's not necessary, Mother."

"Even if the forbidden zone is built, only top-tier quasi-emperor Ninth Heaven cultivators can slumber there; for cultivators below, slumbering has no meaning — this is not a slumber of tens of thousands or even millions of years, but at least tens of billions of years of sleep, unless sealed with undying immortality substances — this makes no sense.

"Golden Great Age, if I am defeated and die in battle, naturally I will have no burial place, and the family will be reunited."

"If I achieve all victories and become an immortal — "

Jiang Ding's words paused: "Reverse time, revive the living beings from memory — merely a snap of the fingers."

"So, Mom, sister, there's no need to worry about the Immortal Sleep Forbidden Zone; just get through each day as it comes, no need to worry, future immortals can do anything."

Around them, there was a sudden intake of breath.

Immortal?

Become an immortal?

Immortal, representing all, can reverse time and coexist with the universe.

Based on the scattered records unearthed so far, since the birth of the universe, immortals have never died, never completely died for any reason.

"Mom, don't worry, don't worry about death."

"Sister, you are the same."

Jiang Ding displayed utmost confidence before his two relatives, saying: "Perhaps, many years later, what appears before you might be a true immortal."

He looked full of confidence.

"Ha!"

Lin Wanqiu snorted with laughter, patting his head: "Alright, I know, future immortal."

Since childhood, this guy has always been this arrogant.

May the little guy be blessed to once again fulfill his ideal in the future.

Time flowed slowly.

The Human Emperor's expedition fleet sailed through the starry void, searching, and in these dull, boring years, over 170,000 years passed unnoticed.

Yet, the Human Emperor's fleet kept sailing, discovering nothing of great value.

Finally, on this day, the navigation radar of the star cruiser named Nether Star Domain sounded a sharp alarm; the ship's spirit swiftly activated its preset program, and an entire vast Nether Star Domain legion began to gradually awaken, the army formation of over a hundred billion troops starting to recover.

Appearing within the detection range of the star cruiser's radar was a blood-red world growing countless tentacles.

These pink tentacles waved wildly, constantly drawing something extremely crucial from the endless starry void, while in the blood-red world, one bizarre and terrifying creature after another lay dormant, with a very high danger level.
