Perfect World: Ten Crowns

Chapter 527 Return to Ruins
Following the seclusion of the three peerless immortal emperors, the era of the eight supreme rulers governing all the heavens and myriad realms has arrived. Under the leadership of these emperors, a great purge that has swept across the myriad realms for hundreds of thousands of years has begun.

With the Dao Ancestor as soldiers and the Immortal Emperor as generals, one by one, the strange races hidden in the myriad realms were wiped out. Apart from most being killed on the spot, a small number were taken back to the heavens as prisoners.

These beings will then be imprisoned in batches in the Eternal Land.

Before the Emperor went into seclusion, he left behind nearly a hundred strange Dao Ancestors and created a cosmic cage in the Eternal Land. With the blessing of the eight great emperors, even the strange Immortal Emperor could not escape.

This area is also known as the Eternal Arena.

Its structure is like a pyramid, with eighty-one layers of the universe, from the Dao Ancestor to the Supreme Being, each with a corresponding strange creature. Each time you pass a layer, a corresponding reward will fall.

After all, although the strange forces have been eliminated, the plateau has not yet fallen. To deal with the strange forces, it is necessary to keep making contact with them.

This gives the Eternal Arena a special significance.

"Emperor Cheng, one day we will march into the plateau!"

Meanwhile, with the interconnection of all realms and the pacification of darkness, a glorious new era began from the heavens. A passionate slogan emerged: "Strike the plateau and become the target of the strongest prodigies from all realms."

The emperors who ruled the heavens naturally didn't care about these things, but they didn't try to stop them. In fact, unless a life-or-death crisis of world destruction reappeared, the eight of them rarely appeared in front of the world.

The threat from the plateau remains, yet they continue to comprehend, to complete their own supreme system, and to strive for higher levels of life.

From then on, the Emperor could no longer be seen.

Throughout the heavens and even the myriad realms, the golden stage belonging to the Dao Ancestors of all races began. As time passed and the dust of the great war settled, more and more quasi-Immortal Emperor level beings arrived, totaling no less than a thousand people.

A thousand Quasi-Immortal Emperors—it sounds astonishing, but these beings are scattered throughout the myriad realms, with an average of only one in ten major realms.

Nevertheless, the entire heavens became incomparably glorious.

It should be noted that it was not only these Dao Ancestors who came to the Heavenly Realm; with the permission of the Emperors, even the clans behind them came along.

Which of these beings isn't the most powerful and monstrous talent in their realm?

The strongest elites have gathered in the heavens, countless systems have collided, and geniuses from all realms have competed for supremacy. This golden age is unprecedented in history.

It can be said that the entire heavens seem to have suddenly come alive. Compared to the stagnant pool of the past, it is now developing rapidly, advancing at a fast pace, and giving birth to more powerful immortal beings. There are even more than one beings that have begun to challenge the Emperor Realm.
Even the emperors who occasionally revived were extremely surprised by this change.

Although they had predicted the future, when they actually saw this scene before them, the emperors couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the most glorious moment had arrived.

"I just don't know how long this kind of life can last."

An emperor lamented that after traveling through all the worlds, he found his eldest son in the heavens. After giving a series of instructions, he departed to seek his own path to supreme power.

The year 14 million in the Gregorian calendar.

In the blink of an eye, the Great Golden Age of more than two million years has passed swiftly.

The heavens are now vast and magnificent. Although no Immortal Emperor has been born, more than a dozen new Dao Ancestors have emerged, such as Huang Qi, Bai Di, Chi Long, and Tianjiao Yi. They have all officially entered this order and become what the world calls Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

Similarly, countless powerful beings from all realms have come to seek out the legendary Heavenly Realm through the Heavenly Core, including beings from perfect worlds.

The Central Plains, a sacred land.

"Has my junior brother failed to become an emperor again?"

The speaker was a young man in white robes, tall and handsome, exuding an otherworldly aura. He was none other than Qilinzi, who had recently been promoted to Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

It can be said that Bai Di has long surpassed his father and become the strongest Qilin in history.

"It failed, but at least I survived."

Beside her, Huang Qi spoke, her expression calm. Dressed in red, she was like a blazing flame, burning away all paths. Even Xia Yilong, who was also at the Dao Ancestor Realm, dared not approach.

Indeed, as the preacher of the Xia Sheng Qiankun system, and the youngest of the three Xia, he finally crossed over to the other realm not long ago and successfully reunited with the three Dao Ancestors. "That's good, that's good."

Xia Daozu spoke, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The existence of two Dao Ancestors and one Supreme Being in one family is already a matter that has shaken the myriad realms. If this nephew were to step into the Supreme Being realm, what would happen if there were two Immortal Emperors in one family? The entire heavens would probably be in an uproar.

Boom!

Soon, a tall figure emerged from seclusion, striding with the imposing presence of a dragon and tiger. His face, bearing a resemblance to the Emperor, exuded boundless majesty as he gazed upon the three figures in the arena.

Xia Ming, the second-generation master of the Imperial Court, is at the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

At this moment, all four Dao Ancestors of the Imperial Court have gathered here.

"My uncle has ascended to the mortal realm. Are my mother and the others alright?"

"Everything is fine. Her Majesty the Empress gave birth to Di Guang and recently granted me permission to ascend to the Upper Realm. Qinghuang misses you very much."

Despite both being at the Dao Ancestor Realm and this person being his nephew, the fact that they hadn't seen each other for many years, coupled with the terrifying residual power of Xia Ming's failed attempt to break through to the Emperor Realm, still gave Xia Yilong a jolt.

His blood and qi flowed like a dragon, and his imperial light blazed brightly. He was simply too powerful. If it weren't for that face, he would have even thought that this was the Emperor himself.

However, after realizing that Xia Ming was safe and sound, Xia Yilong felt completely at ease.

They then became acquainted.

"Xiao Ming, why are you in such a hurry? With your talent, you are bound to reach the highest level."

Then he sighed and tried to persuade his nephew.

Through his interactions with Bai Di and Huang Qi, he learned about the workings of the heavens, the past of his elder brother, and the strange and arduous nature of the high plateau.
But ultimately, these are things that you can't let a child you've watched grow up bear.

"Perhaps I was indeed too hasty."

Despite having a thousand reasons to speak, Xia Ming ultimately remained silent. He gazed at the young man he had grown up with, remaining silent for a long time before finally speaking:
"I want to go back; it's time to take a look."

Since the Heavenly Core was restarted, Bai Di and Huang Qi have returned to the Perfect World more than once, but he has never gone back even once.

"Okay, let's get started."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yilong was overjoyed, as this was the very reason he had come.

Since ascending to the Upper Realm, both imperial princes have become increasingly stubborn, refusing to return to the rear. This has caused concern among the two emperors and empresses, who fear that it may lead to problems.

However, the two Heavenly Emperors have been in seclusion for many years and have not been seen. Only he can do this kind of thing.

"Oh right, let's call Little Stone and go back together."

"I seem to have glimpsed a corner of the future."

Beyond eternity, in a void, imperial light surges, countless rays of order intertwine, reflecting an incomparably majestic figure overlooking eternity, with endless symbols of the Great Dao unfolding in the emperor's eyes.

After two million years of recuperation and several rebirths, Xia Sheng has recovered and stabilized his realm. The boundless imperial power within his body is surging endlessly, even stronger than in his former prime.

At this moment, throughout the ages, there are few beings stronger than him.

Yet this terrifying being now wore an extremely solemn expression. He gazed into the void, at a river of time that did not exist in this dimension, with countless images reflected in his eyes.

Finally, after a long silence, Xia Sheng managed to utter four words with difficulty:
"All worlds have been reduced to ruins!"
