Chapter 604 - 599: New Everlore; Eternal Monarch

While some faced trials that'll decide their future, and three went to search for the whereabouts of someone that'll resolve their pressing issues, a few were made aware of their unique circumstance, and others arrived at their new home—the planet, New Everlore.

They included the leaders of the four hegemons of the Everlore Starfield: Wu Baozhai—the Grand Princess of the Myriad Monarch Sect; Jiang Feilang—The Palace Master of the Sacred Light Palace; Gao Zi—Mountain Lord of Demonic Abyss Mountain; Lin Ruyan—Pavilion Master of the Elemental Heaven Pavilion.

They had all unanimously chosen to restart their forces upon the newly created planet with their remaining and willing members. Those who sought to explore the world and etch out on their own, they were free to do so. None of these leaders kept them back, only emphasized that they would always have a home to return to, either in their success or failure.

In truth, this move was a common leadership move as they too wished to learn more about the world, but establishing a reliable base of operations was more pressing. But with these members traveling and learning for them, they could obtain knowledge without risking their own lives and maintaining their core strength when they eventually returned.

They hadn't left the World-Shifting Net with the others, staying for roughly ten or so minutes longer before they were all transported away and onto their new planet. During this, the leaders gathered those united in their cause. It wasn't just the four hegemons, as other forces just short of their strength were also present. While they were subordinates before, this new opportunity gave them a chance to rise.

The new planet was named New Everlore, dubbed such due to it being created solely for the residents of the now-destroyed Everlore Starfield. It was located in the Everlore Domain, so they would surely be protected, but it was relatively far off and at the edge of the Domain, almost at the edge of the starfield.

On the surface of the planet, the Solar Star that was utterly gigantic in size seemed as distant as their smallest Solar Stat before. Clearly, this location was incredibly far away from the central regions, likely the areas that contained the greatest resources due to Mystic Radiance exposure.

Alongside Wu Baozhai was Qin Rui and Yao Zhen. Zen and Ji Changkong were both beastmen and have vanished alongside the rest, but the three choose to stay with the Myriad Monarch Sect resolutely.

Yao Zhen was next to his son, Yao Wei. While the young demon with a talent and appearance similar to his father wanted to choose the third option, his father wasn't having it. There was a large lump on Yao Wei's head after his insistent whining to choose 'recruit'.

Yao Zhen couldn't help but think how idiotic his son was. Others can be stupid, but he surely couldn't be. This was a new world with new rules. Not everyone was as open-minded as the Myriad Monarch Sect, and why did they even need to join another force?

They had Wei Wuyin!

While he seemed to be absent, it was unlikely that would remain the case for long. Considering this Ascendant Emperor of Neo-Dawn was an outrageously talented alchemist who single-handedly elevated the standards of the Myriad Monarch Sect, he wasn't about to allow his son to leave off and venture into a strange, unknown world.

What if he's killed?

What if he's killed just for being a demon?

Or fighting for resources?

Or just for offending someone due to his youthful arrogance?

That cultivator they saw was absurdly strong, and he had the means to transport an entire starfield! AN ENTIRE STARFIELD! That might not even be the limits of their abilities. He wasn't even certain if Grand Monarch Wu Yu or the Demonic Abyss Master had such means or abilities.

His son, even himself, had no backing in this new world. Who could avenge them or stop others from slaughtering them? They were even getting news that a strange continent had just arrived in their starfield a few days ago and had numerous Realmlords and quite a few Timelords. Their own force had one Realmlord.

One!

Many had clans to feed, children to raise! Yet they might not have anything for hundreds of years? Not everyone was an Astral Core Realm expert, having over a thousand years of life!

Those words however brought the spiritual senses of even other sects over. After noticing the land was vacant of resources for cultivation, even the astral essence was a little lesser than their old planet, they felt a sense of regret and wallowing sadness ensnare their hearts. But Wu Baozhai's words drew their interest regardless.

Wu Baozhai could still see some doubt in their eyes. She realized her words weren't enough. Right now, she wasn't enough.

She closed her eyes, touching the ring that had her name etched on it. She felt his presence and remembered his words. In his mind, she was a natural-born leader.

Slowly, she opened her eyes with a renewed sense of self, resolute and firm in her belief. When her eyes swept those present, she didn't need to say a single word. Just that gaze alone that carried unimaginable will shook them fiercely.

Those old and young felt hope in those eyes.

To be charismatic, to ensnare the hearts of others with your words, one must truly believe in it and themselves. While she had the former down, the latter was lacking until this moment.

"In a few years, this planet? This planet that seems empty and void? It will just be a memory, and we'll make our mark on this new world. They'll know our name. But we'll no longer be known as the Myriad Monarch Sect. Our name, from now on and will be spoken in their mouths with respect and reverence will be: THE ETERNAL MONARCH SECT! Because we, WE will never fade as long as we have this."

She smacked her chest heavily with her right hand, pressing against her heart. The thud caused the hearts of everyone to tremble. She took a portion of this starfield's name and established another identity!

The definition of eternal is to be everlasting, to have no beginning and no end, but to exist forever.

"Are we monarchs?" She asked in a low tone, her eyes sweeping the world before her.

"..." The crowd watched, their blood roaring hot and their eyes burning with a new flame of life. So what if they had to start off with nothing? They came from Monarchs! Grand Monarchs! They conquered entire worlds, fearlessly faced three hegemonic forces and waged war against an entire starfield! And WON!

What was this?

"Are we monarchs?!" Wu Baozhai's voice grew louder.

"YEAH!" They responded, but not all.

Wu Baozhai smacked her chest again, causing her heartbeat to echo throughout the world. They could feel her surging passion and she shouted out, her Imperial Heaven Aura flaring ever-higher, "ARE WE MONARCHS?!"

"YES WE ARE!" At this point, there wasn't a single person that didn't feel like a king or queen capable of facing any challenge.

"THEN WE ARE ETERNAL! AND NOTHING, I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING CAN STOP OUR ASCENT TO SUPREMACY!" Wu Baozhai reminded, erupting with an even fiercer burst of her Imperial Heaven Aura.

The crowd went absolutely wild with shouts of roaring excitement. They weren't expecting to be riled to this feverish state, but their morale had suddenly shifted upwards. None of them felt like there wasn't a future any longer, and they felt that they could make their mark on this new world no matter how low they started! No matter what they lacked!

Quite a few forces had even felt that joining the Myriad Monarch, no, the Eternal Monarch Sect might be a better alternative!

"...You're truly amazing." Wu Yu earnestly praised. He thought she would tell the world about the resources Wei Wuyin left her, or use his name to reassure the citizens, but she didn't. There was a pride that was unfathomably deep in his soul now, a pride for his descendant and bloodline.

Long Chen never had this quality.
