Chapter 2509: Innate Spiritual Life Born in Accordance with Fate
Time passes slowly.
Unbeknownst to anyone, countless millions of years have already flowed by.
The mother star of the immortal sect has already undergone a great transformation.
Formation after formation and ritual encircle the mother star, warship after warship comes and goes, the spaceport stands firm in the planet's orbit, constantly producing ship after ship, the orbital paths of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang and Seventy-Two Earthly Sha have been rebuilt, guarding the core of immortal sect civilization, citizens in the mother star live in peace and contentment, seeking the Dao and studying.
It is not only the mother star that has changed.
The Nine Spirit Realm and the Corner Nether Realm, likewise situated within the immortal sect's myriad worlds system, see immortal sect citizens shuttling through these worlds, back and forth, accelerating their recovery; the immortal sect has already stepped out from the mother star, beginning to extend its feelers into the boundless starry void, allowing its civilization to once again take root and sprout, growing into a towering tree.
At this moment, with the complete recovery of the immortal sect's myriad worlds system, the immortal sect council is in urgent session.
"Can we communicate with the Bei Dou Star Region cluster?"
"We are currently in a situation without any true immortals."
The current ruler poses a question.
Within the Corner Nether Realm lies a natural planar passage, suspected to have been left by an ancient emperor known as the Rain Master; this is the judgment of the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, indicating a probability of over ninety-nine percent that this ancient emperor perished in a fierce great battle, leaving only his arm behind, which by chance punched through a passage connecting the Corner Nether Realm and the Bei Dou Star Region cluster.
The Bei Dou Star Region cluster is a flourishing and ancient star region, once giving birth to ancient emperors like the Bei Dou Gu Huang, forbidden zone sovereigns; the star region cluster contains seven major star regions—Tian Lang, Qi Sha, Ju Men, Kai Yang, and others—extremely fertile and serving as a transportation hub for many star regions, it is one of the fertile star regions second only to the Zi Wei Star Region cluster.
Only by actually controlling the Bei Dou Star Region cluster can the immortal sect be considered a major power in the boundless starry void.
Only here is the starting point for the future true immortals of the immortal sect to attain the Dao.
"Yes."
"The Bei Dou Star Region cluster is the traditional inherent territory of the immortal sect; it must be restored as soon as possible. Now that we have surplus strength, we cannot simply abandon it completely—"
"Without true immortals, we cannot communicate between star regions; the Bei Dou Star Region cluster is the only territory we can still grasp—"
Numerous immortal sect citizens discuss heatedly; the vote is nearly unanimous, with no one opposing.
Although the current Bei Dou Star Region cluster is an undeveloped wilderness, hiding many dangers, once this decision is issued, who knows how many citizens—including many among them—will perish in the great pioneering effort; this is almost inevitable, for it is the fate of pioneers.
This generation of citizens is destined to give without receiving.
The wilderness star region needs transformation, needs planning to accelerate the recovery of the immortal Dao ecological system; when it finally bears abundant fruit, they will have long since died and grown old, and the enjoyment will belong to later generations.
Even so, the immortal sect citizens of today hesitate not at all.
Pioneering, advancing.
Striving, accumulating, for the next generation.
The ancient cosmic mass extinction did not merely fail to break the immortal sect's backbone; rather, it made the immortal sect civilization ever more resilient and unyielding, generation after generation moving forward.
Time continues to flow.
Throughout the boundless starry void, ancient emperor secret realms, like the immortal sect itself, began releasing populations to the outside world as early as when the universe first started to recover tens of millions of years ago, alleviating ecological pressure within the secret realms, scattering seeds across the boundless starry void, allowing this barren starry void to slowly begin recovering vitality.
Such a thing happens naturally, yet it is startling to behold.
Truly, one does not know how many times in history immortal Dao mass extinctions have occurred, to the extent that myriad immortal Dao civilizations have evolved into such diverse survival methods.
The current pattern of the boundless starry void gives a feeling of a hundred flowers blooming.
The boundless starry void's overlords—the human race, the true dragon immortal race, the true phoenix immortal race, the golden crow immortal race, the taoruì immortal race, and so on—powers possessing ancient emperor secret realms have begun to propagate and multiply in the starry void, growing on barren and desolate lands; although difficult, life persists endlessly, with no single power dominating overwhelmingly.
Even contact between two immortal Dao civilizations is rare; each immortal Dao civilization survives alone in the wilderness.
Two hundred million years of time flow by once more.
The harm inflicted by history's emperors upon the boundless starry void is too terrifying, akin to draining a pond to catch fish; only now, in the present, do deeper-level changes begin to occur.
One day, heaven and earth tremble slightly; the great Dao of the boundless starry void appears with faint ripples; the four seasons in each myriad world become more distinct, the rules clearer.
At this moment, all powers possessing ancient emperor inheritances sense something.
"True immortal—"
"Under the starry sky, true immortals can now be born, but the opportunity to become an emperor remains insufficient; one cannot yet give birth to a sovereign; at least another fifty million years of natural recovery are still needed—"
In the An Guang Star Region, a taotie murmurs softly.
In his view, such a boundless starry void will not see the birth of a true immortal, for lacking the opportunity to become an emperor, even if a true immortal were born, what they would obtain would be nothing but barren star regions, unable to coalesce into an imperial crown.
However, he is mistaken.
Roar!
Boom—
In the Lei Ting Star Region, a thunderous shock arrives; the Lei Ting Dao roars with thunder, a terrifying innate spiritual life is born, Lei Ting transforms and forms, becoming a terrifying existence, beginning to dominate between star regions.
"Innate Holy Spirit!"
This taotie suddenly turns its head.
Innate Holy Spirit, a spiritual life cherished by the great Dao, born with emperor-level cultivation, born with an immortal body, and walking the path to emperorhood faces no obstruction; it is a kind of spiritual life naturally immensely powerful and extremely rare.
This terrifying existence should be the holy spirit born within Lei Ting, arising in accordance with fate after the cosmic mass extinction, signifying rebirth after destruction.
If no accident occurs, this era is his time to become emperor, born in accordance with fate.
He needs only to slumber through a span of years, quietly await the restoration of the foundation for the imperial crown in the universe, and then he can achieve emperorship; this is the heaven-born emperor—
Boom!
However, this is not the end!
In the Tian Jian Star Region, the holy land of human sword cultivators, a terrifying blazing sun revives once more, forming a mighty, mighty pressure that sweeps across star regions, carrying the terrifying killing intent accumulated over countless years.
Great Day Sword Immortal!
The Great Day Sword Immortal has been reborn!
"Roar!"
"Roar roar roar—"
Just as this taotie trembles in fear, a disturbance from the royal secret realm of its own clan awakens it; a terrifying taotie that devours the starry heavens appears between heaven and earth, devouring the Dao's pressure in all directions.
Cry!
Cry cry—
In the west, another golden crow cried out, born within the sun!
One after another, true immortals chose to be born in this era, numbering more than ten, in this impoverished age, leaving people utterly bewildered.
Within the immortal sect, countless citizens were first stunned, then overjoyed, their killing intent surging to the heavens.
"How dare they really do this?"
"Hahaha!"
"They actually dare to block us again?!"
The sect's magistrate was delighted beyond measure, laughing loudly: "And how petty of them—only a dozen or so true immortals, how dare they block our great Dao? Utterly clueless!"
"Utterly clueless!"
At this moment, accompanied by the boiling will of countless citizens, the collective will of the immortal sect gave birth to a true immortal.
