Chapter 2519: The Era of the Great Emperor, the Ancient Emperor Era Has Long Passed

Jiang Ding fell into a reverie.

Primary school, middle school, high school—various things in his hometown of Rongcheng had already become somewhat blurred; if he did not deliberately retrieve memories from the depths of his immortal soul, he would soon be unable to recall them.

Various weak emotions surfaced, then gradually faded away.

Instead, a wave of coldness came over him.

"In the endless starry void, besides immortals, nothing can be immortal!"

"This era should be exactly the one this lord needs."

Jiang Ding looked coldly at the myriad things in the endless starry void: "This lord is merely a mortal of the human realm, not transcendent, and likewise must struggle and fight in the human realm for what he desires; compared to any mortal or beast, he is not particularly noble or exalted, this lord is not a god, but a man."

"And to be born human, to lose one's humanity, is to lose much."

"To lose one's beastly nature is to lose everything!"

"This era—this is a wonderful era indeed."

The Great Sun Forbidden Zone lies in deep slumber, yet it has not done nothing; it is a great vessel sailing through the river of eternity, always having its own purpose and mission.

Since this great vessel has chosen to revive in this era, it represents that it has already undergone countless screenings.

That is to say, this era has goals that conform to the moral vision of the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang!

"Let this lord see—"

Jiang Ding's gaze fell for the first time upon the living beings of the human realm.

This forbidden zone's ancient emperor is too ancient, having always concerned himself with the cosmos, the Dao, the stars, the world—essential matters—while paying little attention to the living beings of the human realm, for their lives are too fleeting, almost incapable of affecting the cosmos.

"The previous era seemed to be the human immortal dynasty."

"Now, however, it is the emergence of myriad alien races, Daoist true immortals and divine sons—more than twenty—among whom at least half of the true immortals and divine sons were not born of the Great Emperor's Secret Realm, but naturally arose as heroes in the endless starry void."

"Truly an age of gathered heroes!"

Jiang Ding voiced his praise.

In his era, where were the material conditions to give birth to so many true immortals?

Even if during the Second Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty a total of forty-five true immortals emerged, they were not born of the endless starry void of that age, but rather the accumulated foundations of numerous historical emperors concentrated and erupted.

As for the Great Emperor, the Great Emperor's Secret Realm—this is merely a matter of nomenclature.

Some archaic usages.

The Gu Huang era is now receding; we stand at a crossroads where human beings habitually call the ancient emperors 'Great Emperors,' the supreme rulers who dominate an age unmatched, similar to the ancient emperors of the Gu Huang era, carrying a sense of aesthetic retrogression and cyclical recurrence.

If time continues to drag on for dozens or even hundreds more eras, it is estimated that the Gu Huang era will see only a few forbidden zone ancient emperors survive, while all others will perish, just as in the ancient emperor era of old.

In the ancient emperor era, it seems only one Bei Dou ancient emperor is heard to have survived; now it is unknown whether he has died out completely.

Jiang Ding carefully examined each true immortal in the endless starry void.

"Two human, two true dragon and true phoenix—these two dominant races of the endless starry void are indeed formidable, producing true immortals and ancient emperors in abundance, in every great age."

Jiang Ding voiced his praise once more.

"And there is the true immortal of the Qing Niu immortal clan—legendary mounts of immortals, born with innate divinity from immortal metal, the true immortal of the three-legged golden crow, and even the immortal king ant? Has this clan not gone extinct to this day? —Truly fertile soil, all manner of unrecorded races."

"It can be clearly said that the emperors born from these true immortals will necessarily surpass our era in average quality."

"At the very least, they will certainly not be ancient emperors of the ninety-odd-character immortal scripture."

"This is the importance of the immortal Dao environment—this era is far superior to ours, much more conducive to the birth of the strong."

"Although the distance to the golden great age remains still very distant."

Jiang Ding's gaze fell upon each true immortal, carefully contemplating their Dao; study and reflection have permeated his life, and he does not look down on them merely because these true immortals are weak.

"Not bad, these Dao are quite interesting."

"What makes one even more furious—furious, that is—is that these alien true immortals are all slaughtering human multitudes, each true immortal's person stained with the blood and tears of billions of human beings, and this is excellent."

"Excellent."

"Righteousness—"

Jiang Ding's gaze turned icy, he murmured: "The human emperor must surely occupy righteousness; we are born standing on the side of justice, using this to mobilize the most people to participate in our Dao, to make the myriad beings of all races become adornments on our Dao, to build the ladder to ascension."

"Righteousness, righteousness, banner."

"We orthodox human emperors are precisely thus."

Finally, this ancient forbidden zone emperor turned his gaze to the last true immortal.

The ruling center of this true immortal is the immortal sect's mother star, the Tai Yang Xi, where golden formations, radiant as gold, spread outward from the Lan Star in all directions, layer upon layer.

A new immortal Dao civilization stands upon this land where once multiple ancient emperors attained the Dao.

At the heart of layer upon layer of golden radiance, a speck of golden light as fine as dust resides at the center of endless regulation; if magnified, one would see it is an ant cast entirely in gold, infinitesimally small yet seemingly boundless, each golden ant in the four directions being part of his will and substance.

The Golden Dao-Eating Ant clan, true immortal, devour!

This is a true immortal of the degenerate Dao, a true immortal born among a collective race, whose true immortal's Dao name is a single character; in this obscurity, there exists a fate akin to coincidence.

In fact, this is no coincidence.

This land has given birth to multiple ancient emperors of collective will, and after generations of transformation by a collective immortal Dao civilization, it is naturally suited to birth such a collective race; the nature of this star field is thus, collective races have greater advantage and grow more easily in this starry void environment.

Moreover, the primordial ancestor of the Golden Dao-Eating Ants indeed has some connection with the immortal sect.

"Devour, devour—this is a name worth this lord remembering."

"Devouring Dao friend,"

"Do you know? You bear the aspect of a forbidden zone ancient emperor."

Jiang Ding gave a low chuckle: "In the fate I have seen, it is thus; I cannot say it is certain, but the probability is above eighty percent; after multiple miscalculations in the golden great age computations, this lord can no longer be as certain as before.

"When you, Dao friend, attain the Dao, we shall truly meet."

The Great Sun Forbidden Zone sails through the river of eternity; it has indeed perfectly fulfilled its mission, finding a very suitable temporary anchorage and resupply point.

This is the supply point—it fits a little too well.

Just like the Solar Ancient Emperor and Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor back then, it's possible to directly confront a Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor.
