Chapter 819: A New Universe Realm
"Li Yuan, Xingkong, don't be careless." Master Brother Xinyuan's voice rang out again: "The Abyss Demon Lord is dead, but the Abyss Altar is still there."
"You all retreat first; I will thoroughly destroy the Abyss Altar."
By logic, God Emperor Yun Jing burning and sacrificing himself and the Abyss Demon Lord dying in battle, with only the Abyss Altar left, it had no power to resist.
But Master Brother Xinyuan was still careful, choosing to control the Eternal Divine Palace projection himself to destroy it.
If the Abyss Will had hidden some killing move in the Abyss Altar, and Li Yuan's true self approached and fell into the trap, that would be a loss that outweighed the gain—only by destroying the Abyss Altar could they say they had thoroughly overcome the Abyss Altar Realm catastrophe!
"Good." Master Master Juexing said.
"Hmm." Li Yuan also knew Master Brother Xinyuan's thoughts and naturally wouldn't be reckless. His six true selves stood in the void, not approaching again.
Boom! Boom!
Only to see that towering, vast, and eternal illusory palace move again, streams of dazzling, endless cyan light sweeping across heaven and earth.
Bombarding the Abyss Altar without any obstruction.
Every attack was nearly Supreme level, and the Abyss Altar had no defense left, even the Abyss Will's power having retreated completely—in just a moment, the towering Abyss Altar collapsed with a bang, turning into countless fragments, and the Dao rhyme laws contained in the altar were thoroughly extinguished.
"Collect!"
Only to see countless cyan lights converge to form a vast hand, covering the sky.
Gathering those countless altar fragments into one place, then this hand turned back to Li Yuan, opening its palm to reveal the fragments piled up like a towering mountain.
"The Abyss Altar can be forged, and the greatest credit goes to the Abyss Will, but the materials of the altar itself are extremely precious and can be used to forge Imperial weapons." Master Brother Xinyuan's voice rang out: "With so many altar fragments, the total value is worth more than ten high-grade Imperial weapons. Li Yuan, you collect them."
Li Yuan nodded slightly, not hesitating, waving his hand to collect these countless altar fragments into his own cave-heaven treasure.
Swish!
"Alliance Leader, Master Brother Xinyuan." Master Master Juexing also rushed over from outside the Universe Realm's heaven and earth, his face filled with hard-to-suppress excitement: "The Abyss Altar is destroyed?"
"I have already sensed the message transmitted by the Universe Realm's origin. This Altar Realm catastrophe should be overcome." Master Master Juexing said.
"It is thoroughly overcome." Li Yuan nodded.
After the Heart-Weapon Dao broke through, his original intent had undergone a transformation, and his level of clarity was far beyond Master Master Juexing's, his sensing of the Universe Realm's origin also being incomparably clear.
The Altar Realm catastrophe had passed.
"It's a pity, the casualties are too tragic." Master Master Juexing shook his head lightly: "Chaos, Master Juexing, Wan Ling Dao—the God Emperors gestated in the entire Universe Realm over twenty billion years have almost all fallen."
The former Brother Xinyuan Universe Realm was so prosperous.
With many God Emperors, looking at the Eighth Dark Domain, it was a powerful Universe Realm publicly ranked in the top ten—but now, the number of experts had plummeted.
And the Universe Realm's origin had also suffered severe damage, with over three thousand star regions directly destroyed. In the foreseeable future, the potential of the entire Universe Realm to gestate life would decline significantly.
"Teacher, Chaos—" Li Yuan muttered in his heart, a strong sense of hatred and longing surging up.
In this Altar Realm catastrophe, the culprit on the surface was God Emperor Yun Jing.
But in reality, if it were only God Emperor Yun Jing, he couldn't have stirred up such a catastrophe, at least not so quickly. Under normal circumstances, by the time God Emperor Yun Jing had the strength to stir up the Altar Realm catastrophe, Li Yuan's strength would probably have long surpassed what it was now.
This catastrophe had come at such a high price; the mastermind was someone else.
God Emperor Yun Jing? Just a pawn.
The first to bear the brunt was the Abyss Will, which even descended with a true consciousness of an Abyss Demon Lord at any cost.
Next was Supreme Han Xing. God Emperor Yun Jing's two top-tier Imperial weapon battle knives were probably given by Supreme Han Xing.
"Abyss Will? Supreme Han Xing?" Li Yuan's heart contained terrifying killing intent.
Revenge!
Must take revenge.
However, with his will reaching the second layer of the Eternal Heart, "Heart Intent Immortal," Li Yuan could see his inner heart more clearly and was even calmer.
Now, with his strength, it was impossible to take revenge on Supreme Han Xing, let alone find trouble with the Abyss Will. Even a Quasi-Saint could hardly shake an Eternal Relic.
Without sufficient strength, talking about who the culprit was or talking about revenge meant nothing.
"Take it slow."
"As my strength grows stronger and stronger, moving forward step by step, one day I will be able to reach it." Li Yuan was incomparably firm in his heart.
On this point, Li Yuan was incomparably convinced.
Hum~
Only to see countless rays of light converging outside the Eternal Divine Palace projection, forming a white-robed phantom, which was Master Brother Xinyuan's appearance.
"Master Brother Xinyuan." Li Yuan and Master Master Juexing both looked at Master Brother Xinyuan.
"My many true selves have also burned and sacrificed their True Selves. It is only by relying on the might of the Eternal Divine Palace that I can remain in the universe's space-time for a while. If time drags on, once the Eternal Divine Palace projection disappears, my consciousness will also thoroughly dissipate." Master Brother Xinyuan said calmly.
"Master Brother Xinyuan, you, are also going to fall?" Master Master Juexing couldn't believe it.
"Correct." Master Brother Xinyuan said calmly: "Man must die. Being able to fall gloriously in this battle can be considered dying worthily."
Master Master Juexing was silent.
He also knew that burning and sacrificing the True Self required exhausting all true selves, but he had always held a glimmer of expectation, feeling that Master Brother Xinyuan's special means could avoid the catastrophe.
Never expected that Master Brother Xinyuan would also fall.
"Xingkong, Li Yuan's talent is peerless, and in the future, he will definitely be invincible across the universe." Master Brother Xinyuan said: "From now on, the entire Universe Realm will only have you as a God Emperor. I hope you can assist Li Yuan well, which will not be in vain for my help to you."
"Master Brother Xinyuan." Master Master Juexing's eyes were moist.
Toward Master Brother Xinyuan, Master Master Juexing's feelings were incomparably complex. It must be known that he was able to become a God Emperor because Master Brother Xinyuan had helped him a lot.
Master Master Juexing said solemnly: "The Alliance Leader has peerless talent and will definitely be invincible across the universe in the future. I will definitely do my best to solve the worries for the Alliance Leader."
Master Brother Xinyuan smiled slightly: "Good, I still have some words to say to Li Yuan alone. You go first to gather the God Kings of all the star regions and send them into your inner Universe Realm space-time to extend their lives."
"Yes." Master Master Juexing nodded, stepping out and disappearing into the void.
Between heaven and earth.
Only Li Yuan and Master Brother Xinyuan remained.
"Master Brother Xinyuan, are you really?" Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt.
"No." Master Brother Xinyuan shook his head: "In this battle, the price I paid is indeed great, but it won't reach the point of thoroughly falling."
"Then why did you tell Master Master Juexing that you would fall?" Li Yuan was even more puzzled.
"You also know." Master Brother Xinyuan said: "My soul is entrusted to both the Universe Realm's River of Time and the Eternal Divine Palace's River of Time."
Li Yuan couldn't help but nod. As long as an Eternal Divine Palace reporter reaches the third stage, they are all in this situation, and he and Supreme Han Xing are also the same.
"Burning and sacrificing the True Self is equivalent to severing the bond with the Universe Realm's River of Time." Master Brother Xinyuan said: "That is, in the operation of the universe's space-time rules, I am already equivalent to 'falling'."
"And my situation is very special. The difference from you is that the final true self I have left is forever unable to leave the Eternal Divine Palace." Master Brother Xinyuan said: "Even if I cultivate other true selves, I will still be unable to leave."
Li Yuan's expression changed. Forever unable to leave?
"Since that is the case, what is the difference between me and thoroughly falling?" Master Brother Xinyuan asked rhetorically: "Since that is the case, it is better to announce to the outside world that I have thoroughly fallen."
"In this way, it can save a lot of trouble in explaining." Master Brother Xinyuan said.
Li Yuan understood.
This battle, although Master Brother Xinyuan didn't die, it was equivalent to being trapped in an endless cage, and the price paid was not insignificant.
"Master Brother Xinyuan, doesn't Supreme Han Xing know?" Li Yuan was puzzled.
"Hmm, although Supreme Han Xing is also a Dark Dream Seal Reporter, as long as I am willing, I can still deceive him. But you are the Eternal Divine Palace's Saint Heart Seal Reporter, so I definitely can't deceive you. As long as you are in the Eternal Divine Palace, you can always sense my existence." Master Brother Xinyuan sighed: "So, I am telling you the truth."
Li Yuan suddenly realized.
"Is there no way to escape?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.
Being trapped in the Eternal Divine Palace forever is simply a nightmare. For a powerful practitioner, it is probably even harder than killing them.
"I haven't found one for the time being." Master Brother Xinyuan pondered: "However, if you can truly control the Eternal Divine Palace in the future, perhaps you can free me."
Control the Eternal Divine Palace? Li Yuan silently remembered it.
"The future is unpredictable."
"Compared to your teacher and Chaos, I haven't truly fallen, which is already incomparably lucky. I don't need to ask for more." Master Brother Xinyuan was very calm: "I don't have much time left in the universe's space-time, so I will chat with you a bit more."
"Please speak, Master." Li Yuan said.
Swish!
Master Brother Xinyuan flipped his palm, and countless storage treasures appeared in the void, as well as tokens emanating special fluctuations.
"This is?" Li Yuan was stunned.
"Most of the things in these storage treasures are what I left behind. There are Imperial weapons and some rare materials. Keep them for safekeeping now." Master Brother Xinyuan said: "The rest of the storage treasures were uniformly handed over to me by your teacher and the others before the decisive battle."
1
"These tokens were also given to me by them. You can go to their hometown star regions to obtain the 'treasures' left behind by them. The total value is also not small."
"You take them all." Master Brother Xinyuan said.
Li Yuan sighed in his heart. Before the great battle, these God Emperors had all made preparations to die.
"What the future of the Universe Realm will be depends on you." Master Brother Xinyuan said: "I have roughly deduced that if everything remains unchanged, the entire Universe Realm will last for about fifty billion years before entering reincarnation. This long period of time should be enough for you."
Fifty billion years? Li Yuan thought to himself.
The normal lifespan of a Universe Realm is about ten billion years. Like a powerful and perfect Universe Realm like the Brother Xinyuan Universe Realm, logically, its lifespan should be even longer.
Clearly, although the Altar Realm catastrophe was overcome, the devouring and destruction of the Abyss Altar Realm over hundreds of years still had a huge impact on the Universe Realm's origin.
However.
How old is Li Yuan now? He has only cultivated for a few thousand years. Whether it is fifty billion years or eighty billion years, in his view, they are all incomparably long periods of time.
"Your strength is already strong enough to protect yourself." Master Brother Xinyuan said: "That Sovereign Jing watched the battle from outside the Universe Realm. After this battle, if he helps you spread the word, you will definitely become famous across the vast universe and shake all parties in heaven and earth."
"Sovereign Jing watched the battle?" Li Yuan was shocked in his heart.
Over the past many years, Li Yuan had thought that the other party had long since moved away from this dark domain.
"Hmm." Master Brother Xinyuan said calmly: "He considers his concealment means heaven-defying and thinks we can't perceive him. However, I had already perceived it long ago."
"These Sovereigns, whether they are friends or enemies with you, always have their own desires and goals. You should be more vigilant; they don't pose much of a threat to you."
Li Yuan nodded.
Even if they were enemies, like Supreme Han Xing, at most they would find another opportunity to extinguish one or two of his true selves. It was almost impossible to thoroughly annihilate him.
"What poses the greatest threat to you are actually the several Eternal organizations." Master Brother Xinyuan said: "They are all left behind by Eternal-level beings, and their means are unfathomable, so they can still threaten your life."
"This is the final piece of advice I give you."
"Go to the Abyss Altar Sea, and be sure to be careful and more careful." Master Brother Xinyuan exhorted: "No matter how many benefits the Immortal Divine Palace gives you, prioritize your own safety. Only by living can you possess everything—now, what you carry on your shoulders is not just yourself."
"But the entire Universe Realm." Master Brother Xinyuan said slowly.
Li Yuan listened silently. He knew that from today on, he had no one to rely on. Master Brother Xinyuan, God Emperor Chaos, Master Master Juexing—these former teachers and seniors could no longer help him at all.
Vast universe, boundless heaven and earth.
This path of cultivation, he had to walk alone.
"Alright, let's just say this much for now." Master Brother Xinyuan smiled: "In the future, if you still have some confusion, you can come to the Eternal Divine Palace to find me."
Following that, Master Brother Xinyuan's phantom dissipated.
Hum~ That vast and majestic Eternal Divine Palace projection also began to collapse slowly, countless strange energies merging into the vast space-time, returning to the Universe Realm.
And the original "Abyss Altar Realm" that had affected the vast space-time was also gradually dissipating under the guidance of the Universe Realm's origin, without causing any greater turmoil.
"Void Transformation Realm Map." Li Yuan waved his hand to collect this treasure.
Although the Void Realm true self had died, his realm had been reached. Once he re-cultivated a true self, it would be easy to transform into a Void Realm body again, and the time required would only be shorter.
"Void Realm life, it is indeed unfathomable."
"Unfortunately, the Void Transformation Realm Map can only carry one true self." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Which means only one true self can cultivate 'Jie Mo'."
Wanting to become a Void Realm life is not just about having a high realm.
Wanting to become a Void-World life is not just about having a high realm.
"Two top-tier Imperial weapon battle knives." Li Yuan collected the battle knives left behind by God Emperor Yun Jing. Just these two top-tier Imperial weapons were worth an immeasurable amount.
"Both are centered on the Great Destruction Dao, which happens to suit me, so I'll use them for now." Li Yuan thought, beginning to refine them.
Reaching Li Yuan's level, the external appearance of weapons is secondary.
The key is the mystery of the Imperial weapon's origin. Top-tier Imperial weapons are rare and scarce, and wanting to find one that is relatively compatible with one's own Dao is even harder.
Two top-tier Imperial weapon battle knives are enough to raise Li Yuan's strength by another large margin, enough to create two more extremely powerful main-battle true selves.
"As for the legacies of Master Brother Xinyuan and the other God Emperors, the countless rare treasures added together, the total value is probably close to a trillion Eternal Crystals. How to utilize them requires careful consideration." Li Yuan thought to himself.
Just a moment ago.
Li Yuan had also checked all the storage treasures left behind by Master Brother Xinyuan. With his vision, he could see the value of most treasures at a glance, quickly counting them, and the result shocked him.
The total value was close to a trillion Eternal Crystals!
This was a massive amount of wealth that most Sovereigns couldn't reach—of course, most of it was left behind by Master Brother Xinyuan. The treasures left behind by the other God Emperors added up to probably only a hundred billion Eternal Crystals.
And Master Brother Xinyuan, just those dozens of high-grade Imperial weapons, had an incomparably shocking value.
There were also various rare treasures worth thousands of billions of Eternal Crystals.
"If I add the 'Shi Yuan Spear', 'Demon Blood Divine Spear', 'Void Transformation Dao Map', 'Ancient Universe Realm', two top-tier Imperial weapon battle knives, and the 'Source Seed' I possess." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Looking at the universe, below the Supreme level, probably no one is wealthier than me."
In terms of top-tier treasures, even Sovereigns might not necessarily be much stronger than Li Yuan.
After all, the top-tier Imperial weapons in the hands of Sovereigns are also limited. Although they can forge top-tier Imperial weapons—every time they forge one, it consumes a shocking amount of rare materials and endless years.
Sovereigns? They are even further from being able to compare with Li Yuan.
Most Sovereigns don't even have top-tier Imperial weapons. Even if they have enough wealth, they don't have the channels to trade for such supreme treasures.
"Next."
"Is to stabilize the situation of the Universe Realm, then cultivate with a calm heart, and wait for the opening of the Abyss Altar Sea." Li Yuan's eyes carried a trace of coldness: "Abyss Will, you treat me like this, I naturally have to repay you well."
Time passed.
The outcome of this battle in the Abyss Altar Realm was rapidly transmitted to the God Kings of the original major Divine Court forces, shaking the high echelons of the entire Universe Realm.
Or rather, when one God Emperor after another burned and sacrificed their True Selves and fell, the God Kings who were close to them already had guesses.
It was just that most God Kings never expected that this battle would cause almost all the God Emperors of the entire Universe Realm to fall, including God Emperor Chaos and Master Brother Xinyuan.
For the Brother Xinyuan Universe Realm, this was indeed an unprecedented catastrophe.
Fortunately.
There was still Xingkong Wudian, who had successively gathered the God Kings of all parties in the Universe Realm, and the true selves of over ten thousand God Kings were all entrusted to the depths of his inner Universe Realm space-time, with the flow of time slowed to the extreme.
Mohe Star Region.
A void, where a grand world had been opened up. Today, God Kings from different eras had all appeared and arrived here.
"This is the Hall of All Saints?"
"The Hall of All Saints opened up by the Alliance Leader?" Over ten thousand ancient God Kings all looked up at the stone tablets floating in this grand world.
The stone tablets were ancient and thick.
Different names were engraved on each stone tablet.
"Teacher." God King Master Dongmang had tears in his eyes, looking at one of the towering stone tablets.
The stone tablets belonging to the God Emperors were exceptionally large.
"Master Juexing, Chaos, Brother Xinyuan—" Quasi-Saint Long Ya sighed softly: "Who could have expected that in this catastrophe, the three God Emperors of my Divine Court would all fall."
"Yan Li."
"Jin Yue."
"Wan Dao, Bei Gui, Bai Long, You An—these God Emperors have all passed away."
"The God Kings who died also exceeded five thousand—among them, over two thousand God Kings from the Abyss Divine Court lineage were also set up with stone tablets."
"They also died in this catastrophe. Setting up their stone tablets is not for commemoration, but to warn those who come later—"
"Even God Emperor Yun Jing had a stone tablet set up—beside the stone tablet is his kneeling statue, and he will be reviled forever." Many God Kings were either watching silently or communicating through sound. Their hearts were filled with sorrow and grief.
There were simply too many God Kings and God Emperors who died in this Altar Realm catastrophe.
In the void.
In a place imperceptible to many God Kings, Li Yuan and Xingkong Wudian stood side-by-side.
"This Hall of All Saints, from now on for billions of years, will be a place for new strong practitioners of the Universe Realm to come and pay their respects." Xingkong Wudian said softly: "Master Brother Xinyuan, Chaos, Master Juexing, Wan Dao, and the others, although they died, they died for the living beings of the Universe Realm and must never be forgotten."
Li Yuan nodded lightly.
Death is one kind of biological death.
And the ultimate death is being forgotten.
"If you don't forget, there will be an echo. As long as there are still people who remember them, they are not truly dead." Li Yuan said softly.
This!
Was also the reason he opened the Hall of All Saints—heroes must never be forgotten. As long as the Brother Xinyuan Universe Realm exists, their stories will be passed down from generation to generation, becoming the eternal legend of the entire Universe Realm.
"According to the intelligence information given by the Immortal Divine Palace."
"As long as the Universe Realm does not collapse and does not reincarnate—and my strength is cultivated to be strong enough, strong enough to reverse the entire universe's operating rules." Li Yuan muttered in his heart: "Then, those who passed away in the history of the Universe Realm all have hope of resurrection."
Even if the departed were God Kings or even God Emperors, they were ultimately not transcendents.
They had left traces in the River of Time—with traces, there was a possibility of resurrection.
Everything is possible.
However, Li Yuan also understood that this path was incomparably difficult. Never mind becoming a Supreme, even achieving Quasi-Saint probably wouldn't reach this goal.
"Eternal!"
"Before the Universe Realm reincarnates, if I achieve the Eternal level, perhaps I can do it." Li Yuan had an endless longing in his heart. He hoped that his teacher, God Emperor Chaos, God Emperor Wan Dao, and others.
Could all be resurrected and return.
The path of eternity is difficult and bumpy, but Li Yuan would never give up.
The Altar Realm catastrophe caused the Brother Xinyuan Universe Realm to suffer heavy losses, and the original major Divine Court forces existed in name only.
Li Yuan and Xingkong Wudian, after opening the Hall of All Saints, also rapidly stabilized the space-time in all areas that had been chaotic due to the destruction of star regions, allowing the Universe Realm's origin to recover quite a bit of vitality.
It also allowed many destroyed star regions to have the possibility of reviving, although it was destined to be an incomparably long period of time.
On the other hand, Li Yuan indirectly selected dozens of God Kings and began to manage the remaining star regions of the entire Universe Realm in a unified manner.
No one was unconvinced.
From this aspect, having experienced the tempering of fire and blood, the entire Brother Xinyuan Universe Realm truly became a whole, and the original gaps between the experts of the major Divine Courts truly began to disappear.
Li Yuan also became the absolute highest leader and only leader of the Brother Xinyuan Universe Realm.
"Change the name? Gradually start calling it the Brother Xinyuan Universe Realm to the outside world?" Li Yuan listened to this suggestion from Xingkong Wudian.
It is a common practice in the universe for a major force or a Universe Realm to be named after its leader or the strongest person. Xingkong Wudian's suggestion couldn't be said to be wrong.
——
"No need." Li Yuan shook his head: "In the endless years to come, even if I become a Supreme or even a Quasi-Saint in the future, as long as I am still leading the Universe Realm, the name of the Universe Realm will always be Brother Xinyuan."
God Emperor Xingkong's suggestion cannot be said to be good.
——
"No need." Li Yuan shook his head: "In the endless ages to come, even if I become a Supreme or even a Quasi-Saint in the future, as long as I still rule the Universe-World, the name of the Universe-World will forever be Xinmeng."
