Chapter 2414

At this moment, the heavens collapsed.

In this instant, all top-tier high-level cultivators could feel a supremely important foundation of the immortal Dao civilization collapsing somewhere, the boundless starry universe losing a core.

Now, the countless worlds of the boundless starry sky are not in a natural Brownian distribution state.

The cultivators of the immortal dynasty understood nature, transformed nature, transformed the world, making the boundless starry sky become what they desired.

In the universe, hundreds of thousands of star regions, countless great thousand worlds, medium thousand worlds, and minor thousand worlds operated in an orderly manner under the Tai Shang Da Ri Ascendant Immortal Formation, moving along specific orbital cycles, the vast worlds running according to the cultivators' will, with errors even below one centimeter, the creative power of the immortal dynasty unimaginable.

It was precisely this immense power, this stringent immortal Dao ascension great formation, that created such a splendid immortal Dao environment.

In countless worlds, the density of spiritual energy, the degree to which heavenly rules favored cultivators, spiritual veins, earth veins, and the essences of sun and moon, all far surpassed anything before by an unknown margin.

Moreover, the Dyson Super Energy Project made spiritual energy and solar-lunar essences nearly ten times cheaper.

Moreover, the Great Dream Sword Realm possessed Dao comprehension, could summon divine soul computing power at any time, driving the development of immortal Dao science with tens to hundreds of times greater efficiency——

Everything, too much, the immortal dynasty had built too many immortal Dao marvels.

Now, this radiant immortal Dao golden age was precisely founded upon these super immortal Dao projects, a highly developed immortal Dao civilization, absolutely not some primitive immortal Dao sect that could arise merely from the presence of spiritual energy.

But!

Yet what was the premise of all this splendor?

The source of all this splendor was the existence of the ancient emperor!

In the immortal Dao civilization, the importance of individual power was truly too great, so important that emphasizing it further would not be excessive, the strongest immortal Dao cultivator was nearly everything to the civilization.

At the instant the ancient emperor vanished, all related high-level cultivators could feel the splendid immortal Dao civilization beginning to collapse alongside him.

The core of the Dyson Super Energy Project, its operational wear and tear, the friction it endured suddenly increased by tens to hundreds of times, countless formation components were accelerating in wear while the energy obtained greatly diminished——.

The Great Dream Sword Realm lost nearly seventy percent of its divine soul computing power, in some worlds the signal of the Great Dream Sword Realm became unstable————

The Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dao Ascension Great Formation immediately began to lose alignment, countless worlds no longer strictly followed the orbital paths of the ascension great formation, errors suddenly ranging from tens of meters to several kilometers, and as time passed the errors grew ever larger, the operation of the worlds originally being something cultivators could not interfere with.

The Silver Age thus began its decline from the peak.

Such a state lasting tens of thousands of years, at most hundreds of thousands of years, the boundless starry sky would fall from the Silver Age back into a barren state.

The Immortal Dynasty Academy of Sciences instantly fell into panic.

They suddenly discovered they had lost the ability to calculate high-precision immortal Dao universal constants, their understanding of the precision of immortal Dao universal constants dropping several levels in an instant.

From now on, this immortal Dao scientific research has already lost its meaning.

The immortal dynasty has lost the ability to explore the forefront of immortal Dao science.

Henceforth, the sole value of the Immortal Dynasty Academy of Sciences lies in archaeology, using top-tier immortal Dao knowledge from historical records to guide current immortal Dao science.

"Ancient Emperor!"

"This is the Ancient Emperor————"

All Emperor Realm cultivators, all quasi-Emperors and Supremes drew a deep breath.

Henceforth, all immortal paths will become tens of times more difficult, the highest immortal paths already severed, with not a shred of hope remaining.

The strong ones of the immortal sects felt their hearts sink slightly.

In the past, many citizens had some minor complaints about this ancient citizen, for he seemed like a strict elder, overly restricting the immortal sect, his conduct too archaic, guiding the present immortal sect with the customs of ancient times, arousing rebellious feelings in many immortal sect strong ones.

But now, the citizens truly understood what the ancient emperor meant to the immortal sect.

From now on, the immortal sect's greatest confidence has already vanished.

From now on, the immortal sect will fall into endless bloody warfare, countless citizens will perish;

From now on, the immortal sect will no longer be able to obtain such vast resources from the Dao Court, the birth numbers of Emperor Realm cultivators and Supremes of the immortal sect will drop by several orders of magnitude, and this trend cannot be reversed————

Tai Shang Da Ri Celestial Pivot.

The withered, stooped old man plucked a twelfth-grade twilight lotus flower and slowly swallowed it.

When the Tai Shang Da Ri immortal elixir entered his belly, instead of the imagined surge of vitality, a violent attraction arose in his dantian, like a tsunami devouring and extracting all vitality from this declining body.

The old man's wrinkled skin instantly turned deathly pale, then became like stone, all life within it ebbing away, moreover the terrifying sound of cracking bones—crack, crack—emerged, the ancient emperor's immortal body nurtured for thirty million years becoming extraordinarily fragile at this moment, layer after layer snapping, being devoured by the pitch-black black hole in his dantian.

All of the immortal body's flesh, bones, skin, hair, everything was devoured by the dantian black hole like a glutton, chewed, squeezing out every bit of extractable vital essence from this flesh, then spitting out clumps of blackish-gray matter, like trash.

In the blink of an eye, the figure on the crystal divine throne had completely vanished.

Beneath the divine throne, clumps like shattered bones, horrifying gray-white flesh tumbled about, rolling everywhere, then gradually came to rest.

In place, only a cluster of deep, dark black hole remained.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, at this moment died, divine soul breath gone, life breath gone, the mark in the heavenly Dao vanished.

Theoretically, if a living being possessed unfathomable talent and genius, an unfathomable understanding of the immortal Dao universe, an unfathomable comprehension of the heavenly Dao, then this living being could instantly become emperor, with no further obstruction.

The profound black hole inhaled and exhaled solar-lunar essences, devoured heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, bathed in the endless favor of the Annihilation of the Dharma Great Dao.

Gradually, the light gathered inward.

Gradually, the profound black hole gradually faded.

In place remained only a twilight lotus seed sinking and floating in the void, bathed in chaos, innately the center of the Great Dao, perfectly attuned to this boundless starry sky.

Even if there were a true immortal child with the aspect of the forbidden zone ancient emperor, if they wished to prove the Dao, upon seeing this twilight lotus seed for an instant they would fall into despair.

For this is a heaven-born emperor.

Crack!

Among countless Daoist laws, among countless chaos, the twilight lotus seed split open a seam.

Unimaginable cosmic radiance burst from the seam, so brilliant, like a beam of light from a future degenerate era crossing vast spacetime to arrive here.

The crackling sound gradually intensified, the fissures on the lotus seed multiplying.

Amid the favor and radiance of the endless Annihilation of the Dharma Great Dao, petal after petal of lotus blossomed, forming a twelfth-grade lotus platform, at the very center of the lotus platform sat a pink infant.

The infant's entire body was naked, divine radiance shining upon him.

The infant slowly opened his eyes, the boundless starry sky trembling with his gaze, plunging into endless heaven-and-earth upheaval, countless colored splendor, countless human and heavenly merits converging, all manner of heavenly flowers raining down, golden lotuses surging from the earth, sun and moon rising in the east, purple aura coming from the east, and all kinds of heavenly Dao phenomena continuously appearing.

The stars once again welcomed their sovereign.
