Chapter 2413: The Final Era of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor

"Breaking through the Nine-Character Immortal Scripture has become inevitable."

"I still need to conduct the third experiment of the Nine-Character Immortal Scripture; the purpose of this experiment is to explore a more perfect advancement plan, laying some groundwork for future exploration of the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture."

Jiang Ding whispered softly to the Emperor and Empress.

"The third Nine-Character Immortal Scripture experiment — is that seven million years from now?"

The Emperor and Empress looked somewhat disappointed.

At most four million years from now, she will fall into eternal slumber.

Looking at it this way, she will not be able to see the Human Emperor ascend to the Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor; that will happen long after she has fallen asleep, and by then she will know nothing and be unable to participate in this crucial moment in the Human Emperor's life.

"Your Majesty,"

"Can I first fall into slumber for four million years?"

The Emperor and Empress summoned courage to say.

Four million years, compared to her thirty-million-year lifespan, is still relatively short and should not cause too great an impact.

Furthermore, there is another consideration: in the future Golden Great Age, the Emperor and Empress must frequently awaken to preside over the affairs of the Immortal Dynasty; they cannot have only a short remaining lifespan of a mere million years — that would be utterly insufficient.

"Naturally, it can be done."

Jiang Ding smiled and nodded.

Time flew like a shuttle.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang sat upright on the crystal divine throne, his gaze unconsciously sweeping to the side.

No one was there.

He turned his gaze back to the boundless starry sky.

Between heaven and earth, not a single familiar living being remained; all life was entirely new, with no emotional ties to him, no shared experiences with anyone.

Beneath the starry sky, there was no living being he wished to kill, no being that stirred his battle lust.

A deep-seated loneliness, penetrating to the marrow, gradually surfaced in the Ancient Emperor's heart.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang slowly rose, paced back and forth, and came to the Celestial Axis Pond, quietly gazing at the lotus flower in the twilight radiance.

Tai Shang Da Ri Deathless Immortal Medicine.

This deathless immortal medicine has already grown in the pond for twenty-five million years, drawing upon countless heavenly treasures and earthly riches, spiritual fluids, from the Immortal Dynasty over twenty-five million years, growing at an extremely slow pace; now it has shifted from tender yellow to bluish-white, then to twilight hues, with primordial ancient sigils like clouds faintly appearing and disappearing between the petals.

A faint, strange fragrance diffuses outward; even a single thread is enough to grant a supreme being an extension of life by a million years, laying the foundation that would make all beings in Shen Zhou envious.

Supreme Treasure of the Great Dao of True Annihilation!

This deathless immortal medicine has already matured, already reached its ultimate growth.

"Unwilling, having come to this era — "

"Now I can no longer call the Ancient Emperor of Myriad Laws an old relic, can I? Elder brother? Little thing?"

Jiang Ding Zi muttered to himself.

In fact, his lifespan has likewise already approached its limit.

If he cannot consume the Tai Shang Da Ri Deathless Immortal Medicine, within thirty million years he will die, with no way to avoid it.

The Ancient Emperor's voice echoed in the Tai Shang Da Ri Celestial Axis, stirring ripples upon ripples, but again no living being responded to the Ancient Emperor's words — none.

In the haze, five million years of time flowed by.

Now the Tai Shang Da Ri Celestial Axis is icy, silent, without a single stray sound; ever since the Emperor and Empress departed, it has been thus, with no living being stepping inside, not even a newly born Emperor Realm attendant chief.

If, at this moment, a living being were to step inside here, they would surely be seized with dread in their heart.

This place is filled with an air of declining years — the soiled garments, faded floral headpieces, underarm sweat, bodily stench, and displeasure of the Five Declines of Heaven and Man are fully manifested here, practically incarnated as a cosmic calamity, a tribulation of the Great Dao.

Any living being, even an Emperor Realm cultivator stepping inside here, would instantly suffer massive loss of lifespan, and it is highly possible they would exhaust their lifespan and die on the spot.

Because, this is an Ancient Emperor now walking toward the end of his lifespan!

The death of such a terrifying cosmic sovereign-level being would have too great an impact on the boundless starry sky; if uncontrolled, it would form a sweeping cosmic calamity across the boundless starry sky, triggering the deaths of countless powerful beings.

At this moment, seated upon the crystal divine throne is a figure never before seen by any cultivator of the Immortal Dynasty.

This is an old man with hair turned gray-white, face full of wrinkles, eyes clouded and turbid.

His frame is stooped, withered and small, wrinkles crisscrossing his face, covered in age spots, and his body still emits a peculiar stench; his azure Daoist robe is filthy, like that of a lonely old widow with no children to care for her.

His lifespan has been exhausted; he is about to die.

Suddenly, this old man's turbid eyes slowly shifted.

"If — "

His voice was hoarse and weak, like a saw's teeth, more like that of a sovereign in his twilight years.

"If, Mother, seeing me like this, would she feel heartbroken and sorrowful?"

"She surely would."

"7

This old man muttered to himself.

Everyone has a mother.

Perhaps everyone, at the very last moment of their life, will think of their mother, recall the moment they were just born, and again recall their current state of approaching death.

"This world — truly boring."

"Boring indeed."

This old man strained to gaze into the boundless starry sky, with difficulty saying: "Even now, no provocateur has appeared, externally no Ancient Emperor has revived, the Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor has not acted, internally no Emperor Realm cultivator has stirred unrest, the young faction officers have forged no military orders, to nearly Forbidden Zone Emperor-level Tai Shang Da Ri slay demons and march toward Tai Shang Da Ri Celestial Axis — "

"Nothing, nothing."

"Nothing at all."

"In this barren age, there are no opponents, no resources, no ambitious peerless heavenly prodigies; everything is so boring."

"Achieving true immortality in one lifetime truly offers not a trace of hope; the boastful words I uttered back then were ultimately the ignorance of youth."

The old man whispered.

The elderly ancient emperor was approaching the end of his life.

And Shen Zhou was so peaceful.

Drip!

Drip, drip————

Time flowed little by little, the second hand ticked step by step, no one could stop the passage of time, no one could stop life from moving toward death.

Wu Jin Kong Kong.

The sixteen remaining emperor-realm cultivators of the present age, all the quasi-emperors under heaven, all the supremes, even the celestial cultivators whose lives fluttered like mayflies before the ancient emperor, at this moment ceased all cultivation, lifted their heads to gaze at the sky, their eyes filled with anticipation, hope, and fear of something.

"Ancient Emperor of Shen Zhou————"

"Invincible for thirty million years, Ancient Emperor of Shen Zhou————"

All cultivators had many thoughts in their hearts.

The life of the Human Emperor was about to end, and during this period, the Immortal Dynasty did not block much knowledge and history; many cultivators could figure it out with a little calculation.

The Immortal Sect's mother star.

All citizens looked up at the deep starry sky.

"A citizen who has lived from ancient times to now is walking toward death————"

"I do not know if he can be revived again————"

The current Immortal Sect's governance currency murmured to himself.

Numerous Immortal Sect emperor-realm cultivators and quasi-emperors likewise gazed at the starry sky, their eyes extremely complex.

Among them were reluctance, sorrow, hatred from excessive restraint, and too many emotions; the current Immortal Sect citizens are not the same batch who fought side by side and slaughtered with him back then, their life experiences differ too greatly.

"The Immortal Sect's nine deep-space fleets have already entered wartime status."

"The main defensive direction is the Tai Shang Great Sun Sword Cultivator Cluster, the Law Cultivator Super-Level Elite Unit, and the remaining Tushan maidservant group can consider striving for————"

The Immortal Sect's Chief of Staff softly reported to the many citizen representatives present.

Everyone knows that once the ancient emperor departs, Wu Jin Kong Kong will inevitably fall into a brutal civil war, and the Immortal Sect cannot accept defeat in such a war.

Everyone was waiting.

Drip!

Drip, drip.

The second hand gradually approached the final second, landing in its proper position.

The lifespan of an invincible being who had endured Wu Jin Kong Kong for thirty million years had reached its final second.

At this moment, the starry sky of the boundless universe suddenly darkened, as if something extremely core and important had passed away, the Emperor's Mark collapsed, and the Three Thousand Dao lost a center.

Heaven and earth entered a state of ultimate darkness.
