Chapter 2463: The Fusang Handmaidens Shall Inherit the Golden Great Age, Once Again Seeing the Emperor

In the meantime.

The Fourth Celestial Dynasty established by the Supreme Solar Handmaiden Dao has already endured twenty million years.

Ten million years have passed, and the Boundless Starry Sky has seen occasional minor rebellions, but it has largely remained stable, with people's livelihoods and politics maintaining a basic standard—at least there has been no situation where cultivators cannot afford food or survive—and in terms of political longevity, it has far surpassed the Second and Third Celestial Dynasties.

The only concern is that it is now the fifth ten-million-year period since the Ancient Emperor's departure.

The Supreme Solar Primordial Canon has lost the Ancient Emperor for fifty million years, and minute errors occur constantly; were it not for the continuous maintenance by the successive Heaven-Slaying Sword Masters, Radiant Yang Sword Masters, and the Second-in-One Sword Masters, the Supreme Solar Primordial Canon would have collapsed long ago.

Yet even so, the growing discrepancies in the Supreme Solar Primordial Canon are beginning to cause concern.

Now, the productivity level of the Fourth Supreme Solar Celestial Dynasty has fallen to less than one-fifteenth of that during the Ancient Emperor's era—a drastic decline. The resistance to the operation of superprojects such as the Dai Sen Super Energy Plan and the Starry Sky Immortal Dao Ascension Grand Formation continues to increase, while their effectiveness steadily diminishes. The Boundless Starry Sky is beginning to revert to its natural barren state, and the traces of the Ancient Emperor's transformation of the Boundless Starry Sky are fading.

"The Celestial Dynasty is collapsing—at most, only fifteen million years remain."

"But not due to politics or war, rather the inevitable collapse of the Ancient Emperor's primordial canon."

The current Handmaiden Lord of Fusang, Dao Master of the Supreme Solar Handmaiden Dao, a graceful woman named Sang Ji, stands atop the Purple Astraea Pivot, gazing out over the Boundless Starry Sky, and lets out a soft sigh.

She is exquisitely beautiful, with a gentle and refined demeanor, and hails from the Fusang Holy Land.

Her height remains the traditional 1.56 meters of past Fusang Handmaidens Lords.

This is the deep imprint left by the first Fusang Handmaidens Lord upon this path; cultivators who walk this path, the deeper they go, the more they exhibit the traits of the founding ancestors—this is why many cultivators regard their sect as their future, as an extension of their own lives, and why emotional bonds often surpass those with offspring.

"If the immortal sect, or the Great Solar Sword Pavilion, were to give birth to a true immortal child, perhaps it could delay the collapse of the Supreme Solar Primordial Canon."

Among the first to twelfth-ranked handmaidens, there is one who follows the Handmaiden Dao.

The Fusang Handmaidens Corps, or the Supreme Solar Handmaiden Dao, still maintains the establishment from the Ancient Emperor's era: beneath the Handmaidens Lord are twelve ranked handmaidens, each commanding a corps of imperial guards.

"Impossible."

"We have always monitored the Boundless Starry Sky; should these two powers attempt to cultivate a true immortal child, we would immediately launch a brutal strike—these two possibilities may already have been cut off."

As soon as that handmaiden's words fell, someone immediately objected.

The rule of the Supreme Solar Handmaidens Dao over the Boundless Starry Sky is relatively gentle, and they excel at absorbing elites from various immortal sects and holy lands into their ruling class—but this does not mean they are weak or bullyable. Once faced with a threat to the foundation of their rule, they instantly reveal their terror.

Cultivating a true immortal child is equivalent to developing a nuclear weapons industry—a superproject.

In this process, no matter how concealed, there will always be traces. Historically, the Supreme Solar Handmaidens Dao's immortal sect alliance has repeatedly swept across the Boundless Starry Sky, executing nascent true immortal children of the Immortal Sect and the Great Solar Sword Pavilion, eradicating any possibility of overturning their rule.

This is the final底线 of the Supreme Solar Handmaidens Dao, this organizational entity of the Fourth Celestial Dynasty!

Whether internal or external, whoever seeks to cross this final底线 must pay a heavy price.

The ranked handmaiden who had just proposed cultivating a true immortal child for the Immortal Sect or the Great Solar Sword Pavilion, realizing her mistake, stepped back, fell silent, and merely listened to the other handmaidens' remarks.

"Then, we have only one option: to cultivate our own true immortal child."

"This is the only choice."

Sang Ji revealed a resolute expression and said: "The Supreme Solar Handmaidens Dao is a projection of the Ancient Emperor's path, closely related to the Ancient Emperor's path, and naturally subordinate; thus, it is naturally suited to repair and maintain the Supreme Solar Primordial Canon. Once a true immortal child is born within the Supreme Solar Handmaidens Dao, it will certainly extend the lifespan of the Supreme Solar Primordial Canon!"

"Likewise!"

She revealed a fervent expression, and many ranked handmaidens likewise revealed uncontainable excitement: "Only by giving birth to a true immortal child of the Supreme Solar Handmaidens Dao will the Dao have sufficient vitality, endure longer in the Boundless Starry Sky, and continue to be passed down until the Golden Great Age, until the awakened Emperor!"

"Even!"

"Within the Supreme Solar Handmaidens Dao, an Ancient Emperor can likewise be born!"

"When the future arrives, when the Golden Great Age comes, the Ancient Emperor within the Supreme Solar Handmaidens Dao will awaken, and we shall see our Ancient Emperor once more!"

"This will be the lifelong glory of the Supreme Solar Handmaidens Dao!"

"Endless glory!"

Sang Ji shouted hoarsely, voicing her ambition.

"An Ancient Emperor among the handmaidens?"

The many handmaidens stared in stunned silence.

They were stunned by Sang Ji's ambition.

Among the handmaidens, too, an Ancient Emperor can be born—is this possible?

But upon considering this possibility—when the Ancient Emperor awakens in the Golden Great Age and sees the Ancient Emperor among the handmaidens—this image stirs all the handmaidens to excitement.

"This future——"

The many handmaidens exchanged glances, speaking in unison.

"It may not be impossible!"

It is unknown what resolution was reached in the Purple Astraea Pivot.

On a certain day, the entire Boundless Starry Sky sprang into action, centered on the Fusang Handmaidens, with the Qingfeng Beidou Holy Land, the Supreme Solar Sword Dao Troops, the Immortal Sect, and all holy lands, sects, clans, families, and races becoming busy, each assigned a specialized research task, and numerous target rewards were established.

The many powers of the Boundless Starry Sky were as if whipped into action, bustling busily.

Many cultivators, amidst their busyness, even felt a delusion that they had returned to the era when the Ancient Emperor lived—just as historical records describe.

This is still the post-Ancient Emperor era, yet the entire Celestial Dynasty has been fully mobilized, actively researching and developing a certain project.

In the past, whether during the Second Celestial Dynasty of the Immortal Sect or the Third Celestial Dynasty of the Great Solar Sword Cultivators, such large-scale movements were rare—indeed, the Ancient Emperor's era had already brought immortal dao research and development to its peak, with no further progress possible; after the Ancient Emperor, no one has had the capacity to advance further.

Many research efforts in the post-Ancient Emperor era are named as research, but in reality, they are merely archaeology.

This kind of full-scale development and research into a new immortal dao superproject is, in the post-Ancient Emperor era, truly the only example of its kind, leaving many cultivators bewildered.

However, as the research progressively deepens, the Immortal Sect and many immortal sects begin to understand the handmaidens' goal.

"They've gone mad!"

"Impossible! Utterly impossible!"

"Just a group of handmaidens, yet they dare to dream of giving birth to a true immortal child—truly arrogant!"

In the Immortal Sect, many citizens are furious.

What angers people even more is that these handmaidens are also making the Immortal Sect work for them, having the Immortal Sect cooperate in solving the myriad problems of giving birth to a true immortal child within the Supreme Solar Handmaidens Dao.

This is unacceptable!

Out of concern for the Immortal Sect's interests, citizens' self-respect, many citizens have unconsciously slowed their research progress, even falsely reporting advancements, and the Great Solar Sword Pavilion has similarly made a similar choice.

However, when the Supreme Great Sun Attendant Dao's ruling-level Dao soldiers opened the Purple Star Domain, their killing intent surging, and began patrolling the four directions, many Qingmu Xianzong holy lands and the Duoxian Sect Great Sun Sword Pavilion quickly changed their attitudes, becoming cooperative and efficient, with all internal dissent suppressed.

Twenty million years!

The Supreme Great Sun Attendant Dao has ruled Wu Jin Kong Kong for twenty million years!

Their ruling methods are gentle, yet like boiling a frog in warm water, they constantly erode and dismantle the Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao soldiers and the Duoxian Sect, as well as the organizations and strength of many super-tier elites, with various weakening policies persistently carried out generation after generation, continuously sustained, resulting in the Tushan Attendant Corps now being truly the strongest army in Wu Jin Kong Kong!

And it is far stronger than any other force, the number one strongest army under heaven!
