Chapter 512: The Ruined World from the Previous Cosmic Era!

TL: Etude

“Indeed, a grand era has arrived!”

All the Princes truly heard this news from the mouths of the six Hall Enforcers, and it felt different from the previous speculations.

After all, previous speculations were just that—speculations, not certainties. Despite the tension, there was still a sliver of hope in their hearts.

But now, with the six Hall Enforcers personally acknowledging it, it was confirmed without a doubt.

The grand era was truly about to arrive!

“The six Hall Enforcers, what exactly is this grand era? Please, enlighten us in detail!”

Ye Tian, as the strongest Prince in the Yellow Region, spoke up.

Divine Lord Dantai looked at Ye Tian and said, “Prince of Ten Thousand Laws, please be patient, I will explain everything, but you must be prepared. Before I talk about the grand era, let me first reveal a secret to you all!”

All the Princes listened intently.

Divine Lord Dantai began, “How much do you really understand about the universe? You might talk about how many major races exist, the vast territories and so on, but in reality, your understanding of the universe is very limited.

For instance, do you know how many years the universe has existed?”

“This...”

Ye Tian pondered for a moment; he did not know how many years the universe had existed.

Billions of years, or perhaps hundreds of billions?

“And what do you think was the state of affairs before the universe was born?” Divine Lord Dantai asked further.

The numerous Princes shook their heads.

Divine Lord Dantai began to narrate the secrets of the universe— “In fact, the universe has a lifespan, from birth to death, a long period so lengthy that it seems as if the universe is eternal. However, once the universe reaches the end of its lifespan, it will enter a cosmic destruction.

But after the cosmic destruction, a new universe will be reborn after a certain period.

Death, birth, death, birth... This was the cycle of the universe.

And when the universe dies in a great destruction, it does not mean that everything returns to nothingness. Some things can be carried over from the previous cosmic era into the next.”

“Now, the grand era is related to a relic left over from the previous cosmic era.

This relic was able to withstand the destruction of the universe without being destroyed, showing its invaluable nature. It is an objective that all major races in the universe wish to compete for.

This relic is incredibly durable, unaffected by the destruction of the universe, and even the Supremes of our universe cannot destroy it, nor would they want to.

It is said that this ruin world contains amazing legacies and many great opportunities, any one of which could cause a race to rise to prominence.

The reason why our Human Race was able to rise from a minor presence in the universe to become one of the major races is related to this relic.

The competition this time is even more brutal than you can imagine. You will be facing not just the Princes of this era, but also Emperor-level Princes from thousands, tens of thousands, and even a hundred thousand years ago.”

“Princes from tens of thousands, a hundred thousand years ago?”

Ye Tian was somewhat baffled. How could this be possible?

The lifespan of an Emperor level is only 300 years, and even as a Child of the Universe, there is no extension of lifespan unless one cultivates a heaven-defying technique like the Art of Immortality.

Ye Tian was very aware of the difficulty in cultivating such a heaven-defying technique. If not for his copying talent and the sacrifice of his necromancy talent along with numerous other healing talents, he could not have mastered the second layer of the Art of Immortality.

Even if he passed the Art of Immortality to others, he believed that very few people in the entire universe could succeed in cultivating it.

So, how many Emperor-level individuals could there be with a lifespan of a hundred thousand years? And from Xuan Yuan’s tone, it seemed there were quite a few of such Emperor-level Princes!

“Instructor Xuan Yuan, what’s the situation with those Princes from tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand years ago?” Ye Tian couldn’t help but ask.

“I knew you would ask.”

Dominator Xuan Yuan explained: “Actually, the opening of the ruin world from the previous cosmic era was predetermined long ago, occurring every ten million years. The Princes from ten thousand or even a hundred thousand years ago simply could not make it in time for the grand era, as they would have advanced to Great God level or even reached the realm of Universal God within a hundred thousand years.

However, some major forces froze and sealed those powerful Princes, freezing their lifespans, waiting for this era to unleash them, so they could catch the arrival of the grand era.”

“So that’s how it is!” Ye Tian was shocked.

Children of the Universe from tens of thousands to a hundred thousand years ago entered into seals to avoid the passage of time, just to participate in this grand era. The sacrifice was indeed great, so for the Children of the Universe of this era, the pressure was immense! Those Princes who were sealed were definitely Eternal Princes, and perhaps some minor cosmic races could only seal peak-level Princes, but there were undoubtedly many sealed Eternal Princes.

With so many Eternal Princes emerging, the competitive pressure was enormous.

If Ye Tian had only the strength of a first tier Eternal Child of the Universe, he would definitely panic.

Dominator Xuan Yuan continued: “Actually, our Human Race also sealed six Eternal Princes, one of which is a first-tier Eternal Prince, and the other five are second-tier Eternal Princes.

These six Eternal Princes volunteered to be sealed. Originally, there were more Eternal Princes willing to be sealed, but unfortunately, the other Eternal Princes only possessed third-tier strength, and their participation would not be of much use.

Initially, the Supreme Hall of Humanity did not place their hopes on you for this grand era, but for the future.

However, your progress has been so rapid, becoming a first-tier Eternal Child of the Universe, exceeding many high-level officials and even my expectations.

Now, we, the high-ranking officials, have decided that you will lead the Emperor-level Princes, and even those six Eternal Princes will be led by you.

Additionally, the Supreme Hall of Humanity is prepared to give you some life-saving items.”

Saying this, Dominator Xuan Yuan took out a talisman, a golden bead, and a pair of black wings.

These three treasures were evidently extraordinary, instantly capturing Ye Tian’s attention.

Then, Dominator Xuan Yuan began to explain the uses of these three treasures.
