Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao
Chapter 4886: The Truth Since the Stacked EraChapter 4886: The Truth Since the Stacked Era
Though the collapse had not ended, the Great Emperors all knew that once the world returned to a single point, all life would cease to exist.
Even Great Emperors could not withstand that terrifying pressure!
It should be known that the gravity fields of the Primitive Abyss were terrifying enough. Even Saints would be crushed to pieces. Only Pseudo-Emperors were able to resist.
On the Imperial Island, even Pseudo-Emperors could not hold up to it, and would have to wear Battle Armor.
Then, if all of this was compressed into a single point, an endlessly small point, just how terrifying would the pressure be?
Even a Great Emperor wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
Thus, the Lords of Death were so proactive in destroying the two realms. What they sought was immortality, and they also wanted to eliminate any future troubles on their path to immortality. Otherwise, when the heaven and earth returned to its original point, they would be crushed.
Of course, they had fallen for the old Divine Beast’s trick. The clash of the two Realms of Yin and Yang would not allow them to attain immortality, or improve their abilities further. It could only cause a great commotion on the Imperial Island, and cause the Cave of Death to open.
However, the Star Moon Empress actually said that she had experienced the replacement of heaven and earth 34 times. What kind of concept was that?
She had survived!
No wonder she didn’t have a physical body when she appeared previously. Thinking about it, it made sense. The entire heaven and earth had shrunk to the point of its origin, so what kind of body could withstand it?
However, she was able to make her soul mark indestructible and undamaged. It appeared in this era, which showed how terrifying she was.
"Heaven and earth, creation and collapse, a cycle, is called a Stacked Era," the Star Moon Empress continued. Then, she smiled slightly, "Oh, that’s right. I was the one who invented the term Stacked Era."
No matter what it was, it was just a name.
"Grasping the four key elements would allow one to resist the heavy pressure of heaven and earth retracting back to its original point, and ensure that the soul imprint would not be destroyed?" Ling Han asked.
"Not bad, not bad." The Star Moon Empress clapped her hands, "However, counting through thirty-four Stacked Eras, only a mere three people have managed to accomplish this."
It was her, the Boundless Great Emperor, and the Mysterious Clouds Great Emperor.
"I’m the first," the Star Moon Empress said with a smile. Her smile was dazzling, and she didn’t possess the austerity of a Great Emperor at all.
However, who dared to underestimate her?
This was a first tier Great Emperor, and the first one in history at that!
"However, even if one has grasped the four fundamental elements, the physical body would still be unable to resist the pressure of the heaven and earth, and would be forcefully shattered at the end of the Stacked Era." The Star Moon Empress sighed, "Furthermore, even if the heaven and earth has just been created, the soul imprint would only be trapped here, and become the slave of the heaven and earth." ʀÃƝ𝘰𐌱Ё𐌔
Even if one was as strong as a first tier, they would still be unable to truly oppose heaven and earth.
—That was because the power of the Great Emperor originated from the heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth was the source of their power, so how could they resist it?
"Unless—" The Star Moon Empress paused.
The large black dog continued, "Unless the caves of the four elements are all opened?"
"That’s right." This empress began applauding again, "The heaven and earth is made up of four elements. When the caves of the elements are fully opened, it would form a violent collision. Hence, we would be able to come into being."
"You guys are really not bad, opening the Four Elements Caves so quickly."
"Mysterious Clouds, Boundless, can they be ranked first?"
She turned to ask the other two invincible Great Emperors.
"They can’t be ranked first. The seventeenth Stacked Era is even faster. The heaven and earth still haven’t begun to collapse!" the Mysterious Clouds Great Emperor said stiffly.
"Oh." The Star Moon Empress nodded, and showed an apologetic expression, "It has been too long, so it is inevitable that my memories would be a little chaotic."
This wasn’t a matter of it being too long. Rather, it had been endlessly long ago.
A normal Great Emperor would only be able to live for ten million years. Even if they obtained the Great Herb from the Primitive Abyss, they could live for a second life, at most, for twenty million years.
All the Great Emperors had battled here for hundreds of millions and millions of years, but at most, it had not even been half a Stacked Era.
But as for the Star Moon Empress... she had lived for 34 Stacked Eras.
This was really indescribably ancient.
As Ling Han listened, he frowned slightly. That was because why did he feel that this method seemed familiar?
’Oh!’
Wasn’t this how the old Divine Beast had deceived the Lords of Death?
The result of the clash between the two Realms would only open the caves of elements of the Imperial Island!
Hold on, now that the caves of elements had been opened, by the looks of it, the people who would benefit the most were these three invincible Great Emperors.
This... was it a coincidence?
At this time, the old Divine Beast also looked confused.
He wasn’t stupid!
"In some Stacked Eras, right until the end of the Stacked Era, the caves of elements have not been completely opened. We can only be trapped for another Stacked Era." The Star Moon Empress shook her head, a desolate expression on her face.
This could be seen as the entire lifespan of heaven and earth, yet they were all trapped in the form of souls. Just how torturous was this?
Even a Great Emperor... would probably go crazy.
A vigilant expression appeared on Ling Han’s face. Who knew what a crazy person would do?
"This old Divine Beast... does it have anything to do with you guys?" he suddenly asked.
The Star Moon Empress glanced at Ling Han, and showed a hint of praise, "Not bad, not bad. You are a smart person!"
She seemed to like saying ’not bad’, was it a catchphrase?
However, her affirmation caused the expressions of the Great Emperors to change drastically.
The Mysterious Clouds Great Emperor frowned, "Why are you speaking nonsense with these people?"
"After being trapped for so long, it’s rare to see something alive, so don’t you want to say a few more words?" the Star Moon Empress countered.
The Mysterious Clouds Great Emperor did not speak further. The Boundless Great Emperor, on the other hand, had a good temper, and merely stood at the sidelines, looking benevolent.
Being called something by her, all the Great Emperors gritted their teeth slightly. However, firstly, she was really strong enough, and secondly, they still wanted to know the answer. Thirdly, if they reasoned with her, wouldn’t it be even worse if she admitted that they were nothing?
"Bullsh*t!" The old Divine Beast was the first to jump up.
The Star Moon Empress ignored him, and said, "In the last two Stacked Eras, we were especially unlucky. No one could open the caves of elements to release us. Thus, when it was this Stacked Era, the three of us finally came up with a solution."
"Taking advantage of the opening of the heaven and earth, when a crack was revealed, we sent out a seed."
"As expected, this seed did not disappoint us. Following the call of our hearts, the seed returned here, and began to excavate the caves of elements."
This!
Hearing this, all the Great Emperors were rendered speechless with shock.
After such a long time, the old Divine Beast was actually paving the way for someone else!
"Grandpa Dog knew it!" The large black dog slapped his thigh, and exclaimed in excitement, "How could a guy that doesn’t even have a name be the final great villain?"
The old Divine Beast’s expression instantly turned dark. Then, he began to reflect deeply on his actions.
It seemed to be true... From the moment he was born, he had a clear goal. He would first lay low, then go and devour the corpses of those old dead Divine Beasts. After he had reached Great Accomplishment level, he came to the Primitive Abyss, where he began his life’s work.
Why did he have to put his life on the line?
All this while, his aim had been to grasp the four key elements, and become the strongest in the world. However, what was the purpose of becoming the strongest?
He had never considered this.
For this one goal, he had worked so hard for so many years?
Now that he thought about it, his beast life was really too tragic.
