Archean Eon Art Chapter 736 - Decision

Chapter 736: Decision

A high-level world—Cosmos Realm.

Above the clouds was a vast divine hall. Many G.o.ds in Cosmos Realm lived here.

At that moment, in a towering hall, the G.o.ds were enjoying delicious food and alcohol.

“Your Majesty, how should we deal with the intelligence sent by White Avian Hall, the number one faction in the outer realm?” asked a Sixth Tribulation Eminence as he sat there.

“How should we deal with it?” The Imperial Lord—who was sitting on his throne—smiled indifferently and said, “There’s only one monster in this era. Haven’t we seen many such instances? There’s no need to care about it.”

“We’ve seen monsters that are many times more terrifying than Celestial Thearch Myriad Star,” said a smiling, fat man seated there. “I still remember that 500 million years ago, a foreign Eighth Tribulation Eminence sneaked in and secretly incited the Seventh Tribulation Eminences back then. After figuring out our universe’s ins and outs, he caused a huge calamity.

“That Eighth Tribulation Eminence destroyed three high-level worlds that didn’t have an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. He then plundered everything. Dragon Ancestor personally descended and attacked, but the other party still managed to flee.”

“That Eighth Tribulation Eminence leaped beyond the timeline and attacked at some still time node. The three high-level worlds’ living beings didn’t suffer any pain, dying without feeling anything. The Seventh Tribulation Eminences of that era knew nothing. It was only when he attacked the fourth high-level world—which was protected by an old friend of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence—that he was stopped, having alarmed Dragon Ancestor and company…”

The deities sighed.

It was too terrifying to attack from beyond the timeline; they couldn’t even seek help!

Therefore, if a high-level world’s Eighth Tribulation Eminence died, they could hire other Eighth Tribulation Eminences to arrange for a true body to guard it for a long period of time! For example, they could guard a high-level world for 10,000 years… The time flow for an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s 10,000 years was nearly stagnant. It might last a billion years or even longer in the outside world.

Or they could use some powerful treasures that could reinforce a high-level world, increasing the difficulty of destruction.

The Imperial Lord sitting on the throne said, “Currently, there are turbulent undercurrents in the outer realm. On the surface, it looks like Celestial Thearch Myriad Star is arrogant and has plundered many inhabited worlds. However, he has plundered so many treasures. In the end, he still has to transact with an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. There must be an Eighth Tribulation Eminence backing him.”

The G.o.ds below nodded solemnly.

They didn’t think much of the current Seventh Tribulation Eminences. This was because once these G.o.ds fell asleep, it could be for hundreds of thousands of years. When they woke up, the current Seventh Tribulation Eminences would’ve died of old age.

However, they were extremely reverent toward Eighth Tribulation Eminences!

Eighth Tribulation Eminences used s.p.a.cetime as their foundation. They comprehended and grasped various means. They could even gradually crack the s.p.a.cetime laws in the universe, making their means even more unpredictable. The true fate of the entire universe was decided by Eighth Tribulation Eminences who occasionally appeared.

“That’s right! Celestial Thearch Myriad Star would find it difficult to use all the treasures he plundered! He has to transact with an Eighth Tribulation Eminence in order to exchange for what he needs.” A female deity nodded. “Since it involves an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, we can’t disturb the Progenitor or disturb him.”

The Progenitor of Cosmos Realm was an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. He was also the true backer of the entire Cosmos Realm!

With the Progenitor alive, Cosmos Realm could continue to thrive.

If the Progenitor died, Cosmos Realm would face all kinds of calamities.

These deities were unwilling to cause trouble for their Progenitor! Furthermore, the Progenitor had strict orders—only a few important matters were deserving of waking him.

“However, it’s really rare in this era. Apart from Myriad Star and White Avian, Eastcalm’s cultivation speed is even more astonis.h.i.+ng now,” commented the Imperial Lord with a sigh. “It hasn’t been long since he reached the Seventh Tribulation realm, but his strength has actually exceeded that of ordinary top Seventh Tribulation Eminences. In this era, there might be three half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences coexisting.”

“Three half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences coexisting for an era?”

“It’s indeed very rare.”

“After hundreds of thousands of years, they will probably disappear from the River of s.p.a.cetime. They won’t be as carefree as us; we have transcended Samsara and can live as long as the heavens.”

The deities in the hall laughed. Just based on their lifespans, they could look down on the Seventh Tribulation Eminences in the outer realm.

They were originally only Sixth Tribulation Eminences, Fifth Tribulation Eminences, and even weaker lifeforms. But once their homeworld was upgraded to a high-level world and their history made independent from the River of s.p.a.cetime, they could create their own Samsara.

As the master of a high-level world, an Eighth Tribulation Eminence could scoop out any lifeform that had been born in their homeworld’s history! They could fuse with a high-level world and become a part of it.

If a high-level world wasn’t destroyed, they would live forever. Therefore, it wasn’t hyperbole that one could live as long as the heavens.

There were also flaws. After becoming a part of the high-level world, they would never be able to take a step out of their homeworld!

Furthermore, their willpower was unable to withstand their long lifespans. They would gradually distort and collapse, so it was normal for their personalities to change drastically. Therefore, the deities often fell into a deep slumber so as to reduce the burden on their willpower. Some even had no choice but to reincarnate. They hoped for a new and fresh life to reforge their powerful willpower.

Regardless, the number of deities was limited. Every deity’s position in the high-level world was pursued by its cultivators.

This was something that low-level and middle-level cultivators couldn’t even imagine. Even Celestial Thearch Myriad Star and Hall Lord White Avian had to die when their lifespans were up.

…

The meatball-like Fiend Eye sat on his throne. He watched the intelligence from White Avian Hall and the scene of Meng Chuan’s array formation.

Fiend Eye was in a good mood. It’s really as I expected. Back then, I felt that something was amiss when I saw that nearly half of his future timelines showed him to be at the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm at least. When he was at the Sixth Tribulation realm, there should’ve been many future possibilities. Back then, half of those possibilities placed him to be a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence at least. Clearly, there were very strong reasons why he couldn’t be stopped.

I can’t see his future now, but judging from his cultivation speed, he’s truly terrifying. Fiend Eye was happy to see this.

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star is acting even more unscrupulous in order to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm, thought Fiend Eye. He has to exchange with an Eighth Tribulation Eminence for his cultivation needs, so he has an Eighth Tribulation Eminence backing him… White Avian still hopes that an Eighth Tribulation Eminence will appear in this River of s.p.a.cetime out of public spiritedness? The possibility is very low. It’s forbidden for most Eighth Tribulation Eminences to be disturbed unless something major happens. Those disciples and grand-disciples won’t easily disturb their Progenitors.

…

How is this Eastcalm so powerful? Guild Master Darkstar looked at the intelligence and felt apprehensive.

City Lord Eastcalm grew too quickly.

He had chosen the wrong target back then.

…

In an ice palace, Palace Lord Snow Rainbow read the intelligence calmly.

He had once obtained a huge opportunity of befriending an Eighth Tribulation Eminence and obtained his promise.

Palace Lord Snow Rainbow placed great importance on this promise! It was the most critical opportunity for his cultivation. He wouldn’t use it against Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star will become even more fearless. At the peak of his madness, he will touch the bottom line of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence and that will mark his death.

…

In front of Holy Mountain of Painting.

Meng Chuan stood there and shouted, “Daolord!”

After shouting twice, Meng Chuan looked around.

Daolord Evodia didn’t appear.

Daolord Evodia didn’t give me a way to summon him. I guess he doesn’t want me to disturb him, Meng Chuan thought to himself. He knew that Daolord Evodia had previously sent him to Dry Origin Mountain because it was a mission given by an Eternal existence! As long as he mastered the six-stroke runic seal mystic technique, he would obtain this opportunity. However, Daolord Evodia didn’t have any obligation to help him in the future.

After all, although he had obtained an opportunity, he still needed to transcend the tribulation and reach the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm before he could become an Eternal existence’s disciple.

…

When the news spread, all the factions knew that it was Celestial Thearch Myriad Star who had ordered the forbidden creature to devour the inhabited world.

But as time pa.s.sed, no Eighth Tribulation Eminence descended to deal with Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.

I held too much hope. Hall Lord White Avian looked into the endless s.p.a.cetime and muttered softly, “I hoped for an Eighth Tribulation Eminence to descend, but clearly, no one has reported the news to an Eighth Tribulation Eminence.”

Hall Lord White Avian knew very well that he couldn’t hold a match to Celestial Therach Myriad Star in terms of delaying the end of his lifespan since he was heavily injured. Once he died, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star would definitely attack his homeworld on account of their years of conflict.

I should’ve long understood that on this path, it’s better to rely on yourself than others.

A silver token appeared in Hall Lord White Avian’s hand. He looked down at the ordinary token. My Essence Soul was heavily injured in exchange for a promise from an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Today, I’ll use this promise to… kill Myriad Star.

Following that, he no longer hesitated and activated the token.
