Eternal Tale

In the depths of the void and darkness, a mysterious figure emerged from the nothingness. Each step he took seemed to shake the Great Sun and Stars ahead, causing ripples in the space around him.

His gaze was like an abyss, piercing through the vast void, with everything under his control.

As this figure moved, vortices formed before him, resembling the trajectories of stars. The laws of heaven and earth flowed around him, creating a world of his own!

Wherever he went, the darkness of the void was replaced by bright light, an existence that transcended time and space.

With a gentle wave of his hand, an invisible ripple spread out, causing the rules of the Void Land to tremble. Starlight gathered at his fingertips, forming a radiant star, seemingly challenging the Great Sun and Stars!

”Heaven and earth have spirits, I am the Immortal Venerable, all beings of the grand world are in my grasp.”

A vast celestial voice echoed faintly in the Void Land, indifferent and inviolable, yet the strangest part was that no one had spoken!

This figure stood tall and upright, his alabaster skin exuding an extraordinary luster, his eyes containing ancient wisdom spanning millennia, deep and unfathomable!

A lock of his long hair flowed like the black night sky, seemingly containing infinite power of the laws, especially the brilliant star-shaped birthmark on his forehead, emitting a mysterious radiance that left a lasting impression on anyone who saw it...

His brows exuded a transcendent aura, and with each step he took, it seemed as if stars shattered, transforming into endless brilliance that scattered.The invisible might he exuded made all creatures feel an insurmountable oppression, as if he were the ruler of heaven and earth!

Two supreme immortals stood facing each other from afar, the deep void becoming increasingly mysterious and solemn under their presence, with stars shining brightly around them, dreamlike and illusory.

”...Futian!” Before the portal of the Great Sun and Stars, the shadow revealed an unprecedented seriousness, speaking coldly.

”Ancestor Longevity.” The man calmly responded, standing still in the void, no longer advancing.

”Abandoned by heaven, what brings you here?” Ancestor Longevity spoke without emotion, seemingly devoid of any creature’s feelings, only rationality, ”The Ancient Immortal Emperor is gone, the Immortal Court has fallen, you have survived, you should not come to involve yourself with the karma of my human race.”

”Our Taiyi Immortal Court did not obtain the Great Thousand Creation Art, it seems the heavens do not favor us.”

Futian replied indifferently, showing no emotional fluctuation in the face of such unkind words, ”The grand momentum of heaven and earth lies with the human race, why should I not involve myself with your race’s karma, especially when the Era of great slaughter among the myriad clans in the Three Thousand Great Worlds has nothing to do with you.”

Ancestor Longevity, detached from the Three Thousand Great Worlds, their Taiyi Immortal Court had long been entangled with the Human Emperor in the grand world.

”What message needs to be conveyed?” Ancestor Longevity spoke coldly, not fond of this person, ”The human race’s portal is billions of miles away, already at its limit, take another step forward, and you’ll be on our human race’s kill list, from the sky to the abyss, great annihilation!”

Hearing this, Futian’s brows slightly furrowed, ”Ancestor Longevity, we are the same kind of beings.”

”I am of the human race, you are the second generation leader of the Ancient Immortal Court’s national religion, we are not the same kind of beings.”

Ancestor Longevity spoke with precision, his presence imposing, ”A seeker of the Dao, not tolerated by heaven and earth, your longevity is stolen from the Ancient Immortal Court’s fortune, unworthy to be with my human race.”

These words seemed to strike at the deepest secret within Futian, causing him to fall silent for a moment.

”Ancestor Longevity, arguments are meaningless.”

Futian did not explain, only shook his head lightly, ”Your longevity is also of dubious origin, so we are the same kind of beings.”

The Great Thousand Creation Art, the upper volume—Water Spirit Decision, was the culmination of the wisdom of all beings from the previous cycle of heaven and earth, leaving information for the next cycle.

The Water Spirit Decision shortens lifespan, known to all, and the human race relied on this to create the true monster of the Three Thousand Great Worlds—Filthy Longevity, both sharing the greatest commonality of shortened lifespan!

The Crane Spirit Tree harbors the death energy of heaven and earth, capable of creating and annihilating all things!

One is the evolution of a technique, the other the evolution of a being, but their essence is the same.

Why did the human race initially develop in a small boundary, and why did they break out from it? Because the essence of the great world could not accommodate Filthy Longevity, which is also why at the beginning of the world, endless Filthy Longevity was annihilated!

This also created endless roots of disaster for the human race, the impact of which persists to this day, causing countless heroic figures of the boundary human race to perish prematurely, and the grand world human race to be oppressed.

And Ancestor Longevity was not created by the Human Emperor, but by countless generations of the human race, sacrificing countless ancestors to forge a being of last resort.

But then, finally, a human stood up, drawing upon the foundation of countless generations of the human race, sounding the horn of counterattack, which is why he was called the Human Emperor.

A single phrase, ”blood food of the myriad clans,” was enough to oppress the human race of that era, so now they know to endure even more.

Ancestor Longevity can draw upon the lifespan of boundary creatures who sacrificed themselves to achieve a bizarre state of longevity, but is not tolerated by the Three Thousand Great Worlds, only able to guard the forbidden portal of the human race.

And his end, naturally, would not be good. With the formation of the Immortal Realm, the path of ascension for the boundary opened, Filthy Longevity annihilated, his lifespan naturally began to dissipate infinitely, and due to the rejection of the grand world, he could not follow the human race into the True Immortal Realm.

Only to eternally sink into the lower realms...

Yet he had no regrets, guarding the last portal for the human race was the greatest comfort to his Dao heart, and no one knew Ancestor Longevity’s true identity, long since obliterated in the river of time.

Perhaps... so long ago that he forgot who he was, moving only with the remnants of his Dao heart.

But he never felt the years were barren, nor did he feel lonely, only an unparalleled sense of satisfaction!

And Futian’s longevity, peering into the most elusive path of fortune in heaven and earth, performing a heaven-defying act, forcibly intercepting the flow of time to augment himself, seeking to reverse the grand momentum of heaven and earth, to save the collapsing Taiyi Immortal Court...!

But the heavens are boundless, how small are the immortals, he failed utterly, wandering like a lost soul outside the Three Thousand Great Worlds, in a daze, awakening once every hundred thousand years!

And his longevity was the remnant fortune of the Ancient Immortal Court, the lifespan of the child of fortune, Gu Lisheng!

If Gu Lisheng falls, then he falls.

How could there be a true immortal in the world, when even the heavens cannot achieve immortality, let alone the creatures born under it...

At this moment.

Ancestor Longevity’s dark eyes flickered, ”Futian, what exactly needs to be conveyed, if you do not speak, I shall continue to slumber.”

”For the Human Emperor boundary.”

Futian said in a deep voice, his eyes growing even more profound, vast and boundless, ”For the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, a great change has occurred in the boundary, the Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruit has appeared.”

”Chen Xun, Bull clan—Ximen.” Ancestor Longevity spoke indifferently, ”We have long known, soul age twenty, appearing without a trace in the Human Emperor boundary, unable to trace the bloodline, he is indeed not of the human race.”

”But cultivating the Five Elements immortal path, they have not been abandoned by the Three Thousand Great Worlds.” Futian calmly added, ”Their heaven-defying act has not been forsaken by the heavens.”

”Then there is only one reason.”

”They are not creatures of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, nor are they alien spirits of heaven and earth.”

Ancestor Longevity and Futian spoke in unison, their gazes slowly meeting in the vast void.
