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

“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!”

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 specifics involve the highest secrets of the Human Race, which I am not entirely clear about.

However, what I want to inform you of is that this time, you will have the opportunity to enter this ruin world from the previous cosmic era and obtain some precious treasures and opportunities for the Human Race.

The opening of this ruin world from the previous cosmic era signifies our era’s grand era. Many races are desperate for this grand era because it is usually during then that a cosmic race obtains astonishing opportunities and becomes one of the major races after many years.

Although our Human Race has already become one of the major races of the universe, if we cannot compete for more opportunities, we will eventually be eliminated and become the stepping stone for other cosmic races to become a major race.”

“Now do you understand the importance of this grand era?”

After Divine Lord Dantai finished speaking, the other Princes fell silent.

This news was astounding, involving a ruin world from the previous cosmic era, a leap too large that even shattered many Princes’ perceptions.

Ye Tian was the first to recover from the shock and asked, “Divine Lord Dantai we are only Emperor level. It is said that Princes from the Mysterious, Earth, and Heaven Regions will also participate in this grand era. Could it be that we all need to enter the ruin world from the previous cosmic era together? In that case, how can we compete with the God level and above Princes?”

The other Princes only then considered this issue. They were Emperor level Children of the Universe; if they were to stay in a ruin world with those God level and below Children of the Universe, wouldn’t that be akin to seeking death? Even the weakest God-level Child of the Universe could easily sweep through a group of Emperor-level Princes; they were not even on the same level.

Divine Lord Dantai hurriedly explained, “Of course not together. In fact, although that ruin world withstood the cosmic destruction, it was not unscathed but rather divided into fragmented ruin worlds. Each fragmented ruin world is isolated from the others, making it impossible to pass through, so you need not worry about encountering higher-level Princes.”

With Divine Lord Dantai’s explanation, Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He was confident competing with other cosmic races’ Emperor level Eternal Princes, but if he had to fight against God level and above Princes, he had no hope at all.

Subsequently, Divine Lord Dantai shared some details about the grand era.

The start of the grand era was one year away, but in reality, they needed to depart with the large troops from the Supreme Hall of Humanity in half a year because the location of that ruin world was in the central region of the universe.

And the Human Race’s territory was far too distant from the center of the universe, requiring a significant amount of time to reach.

Soon after, Divine Lord Dantai and the others left.

The other Princes also departed from Bi Bo Lake, each returning to their respective places, all beginning their preparations for the upcoming grand era.

They were aware of the unparalleled brutality of this grand era, yet it was also an unimaginable opportunity. If they were to encounter some fortunes, it was even possible for them to become one of the upper echelons of humanity, or even a Supreme.

A few days later Dominator Xuan Yuan summoned Ye Tian.

This time, Dominator Xuan Yuan met Ye Tian not as a mentor, but in his capacity as a high-ranking official of the Supreme Hall of Humanity.

Soon after, Ye Tian arrived at the divine palace of Dominator Xuan Yuan.

“Instructor Xuan Yuan!”

Upon seeing Xuan Yuan, Ye Tian greeted him respectfully.

“This time, I have summoned you not for guidance, but on behalf of the Supreme Hall of Humanity to discuss matters regarding the grand era!”

Dominator Xuan Yuan spoke with a grave tone.

“Instructor Xuan Yuan, the six Hall Enforcers have already briefed me on the basic situation…” Ye Tian said.

“No!” Dominator Xuan Yuan shook his head. “The Hall Enforcers only told you the basic situation. There is more that I need to inform you about.

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.
