Tian Yuan

Situ Lin's eyes shone with golden light as he stared directly into the Eternal Night Ruins. His pupils were filled with countless tiny runes, containing endless mysteries and telling of his extraordinary nature that transcended the mortal world.

He quickly formed hand seals, and the Yin-Yang diagram beneath his feet spun around.

Strange patterns appeared all over his body, sometimes visible and sometimes hidden, unpredictable and mysterious.

While observing the flow of Dao patterns within the forbidden realm, he remained vigilant towards the Myriad Dao Source Points.

The pressure was immense and indescribable.

With each passing breath, Situ Lin's pressure increased, his expression became solemn, and his mind became tense.

Half an hour later, he finally made some progress.

For his own safety, he immediately stopped.

wow——

The celestial book closed tightly, and the runes between heaven and earth quickly dissipated.

bass!

Seeing that Situ Lin was safe and sound, Nangong Ge finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. He immediately appeared before Situ Lin and eagerly asked, "Master, how is he?"

"My prediction was correct; the flow of time is indeed different."

Situ Lin put his hands behind his back and said solemnly.

Could you elaborate?

Nangong Ge's level is not yet comparable to Situ Lin's, so I don't really understand.

"This restriction on the Xuan Realm is quite extraordinary. According to my calculations, a year inside is equivalent to a hundred years outside."

Holding the Heavenly Book and carefully calculating, Situ Lin obtained a fairly accurate result.

When he said this, his expression was quite solemn, as if he was deep in thought about something.

Altering the flow of time is something many top cultivators can do. However, it has significant limitations and can only be used on the weak.

In certain secret realms and mystical worlds, anyone who hasn't reached a certain cultivation level can enter and cultivate. A long time may pass inside, while only a fleeting moment may occur outside.

The restrictions and rules created by the Path to Immortality do not affect any one person, but the entire universe!

All the emperors within the restricted realm were affected. In fact, they were completely unaware of it.

"If a thousand years have passed within the barrier, wouldn't it be a hundred thousand years outside?"

Nangong Ge frowned.

Situ Lin affirmed, "That's right."

"Will we... be able to witness the arrival of a new era?"

If that's the case, Nangong Ge believes he'll have a hard time living to that time.

For an emperor, a thousand years is nothing. Moreover, comprehending the path to immortality is no small matter; let alone a thousand years, even ten thousand years might not yield any clues.

By the time the restrictions were lifted, the outside world had already changed drastically.

When the restrictions on the Xuan Realm would be lifted was something Situ Lin couldn't predict: "Alas! It's hard to say."

Will I be able to meet Brother Chen again in this life?

Nangong Ge gazed at the direction of the Eternal Night Ruins, her expression complex, and murmured to herself.

"Once you take that step, you should be able to witness the arrival of a new era."

Situ Linzheng solemnly said.

With Situ Lin's current level of cultivation, he has already surpassed the lifespan limit of the mortal world. He only needs to restrain himself and not be too arrogant, and the will of the Great Dao will naturally not detect him.

However, this is not true immortality; it's more like illegal immigration.

For example, right now, Situ Lin's biggest worry is being purged by the Myriad Paths Source Point, because his lifespan has already been exhausted and he should not be alive.

If Situ Lin hadn't been an 'illegal immigrant' and had openly used his methods, the Heavenly Book could have displayed even more terrifying energy.

"This matter should be told to the Empress."

Out of friendship, Nangong Ge decided to go to Qingzong and tell him the truth.

"As it should be."

Even if Nangong Ge didn't say anything, Situ Lin would still find time to go.

Firstly, given their close relationship with Chen Qingyuan, they should inform Chen Qingyuan's confidante so that she can be psychologically prepared; secondly, if An Xi is the Dao-proving Emperor of this era, she needs to understand the current situation.

Even if the two of them didn't say anything, it would be obvious once An Xiruo's strength reached a higher level and her control over the order of Shenzhou improved.

Northern Wilderness, Twin Lotus Galaxy.

The Illusory Sea, one of the forbidden zones of immortal bones!

The ancient gods lost their origin, and most of their high-ranking members perished. Those still alive today number less than ten thousand, and more than half of them are severely injured.

"Does our race still have a future?"

The clan chief was not dead, nor was his injury serious. At this moment, he looked unusually old, with a full head of white hair, a face covered in deep wrinkles, and his eyes overflowing with grief.

He had initially intended to end his life, but when he saw other members of his clan struggling in agony, he had to abandon the idea. Suppressing the overwhelming grief that exceeded his physical limits, he gave orders to properly handle the aftermath.

"Pack up and get out of the Sea of ​​Illusion as soon as possible."

Without the protection of their origin, if the gods were to remain in the Sea of ​​Illusion, they would be courting certain death.

Others could weep bitterly, but the clan leader could not. If even he gave up, then the divine race truly had no hope.

As the head of a clan, one should shoulder this responsibility.

As long as you're not dead, grit your teeth and hold on!

"Chu Mo is still alive, so we... still have a sliver of hope. Even if we can't restore our former glory, we must ensure the continuation of our clan's lineage."

Waiting for Chu Mo to return is the only thing the clan leader can do.

He was very fortunate that he had let Chu Mo leave Shenzhou as soon as possible and go to the Chaotic Boundary Sea to seek an opportunity. If Chu Mo had been any later, he would not have had the chance to leave and would have surely lost his life in this turmoil.

"Live!"

The tribe was devastated. The chieftain walked step by step to the sky, looked down at the people, and shouted hoarsely.

With the clan leader's guidance, many people gradually regained their senses. Although their eyes regained their light, they still possessed the most basic ability to act, like walking corpses, only able to follow orders.

This leader of the Protoss did not shirk reality but fulfilled his duties. In this respect, he is worthy of respect.

Not long after, the entire divine race relocated, leaving behind the Sea of ​​Illusion where they had lived for countless years.

As for their whereabouts, it is currently unknown.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how badly the gods have been hurt, they still have a terrifying foundation. Finding a suitable place to settle down will not be difficult for them.

Several days later, Nangong Ge arrived at the Qingzong sect located in the Diyou star system of the Northern Wilderness.

He met with the Empress and informed her of the situation regarding the Eternal Night's Return to Nothingness.

Upon learning of the vast difference in the flow of time between the two realms, An Xiru remained silent for a long time before saying to Nangong Ge, "I understand, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Nangong Ge bowed deeply.

Having said what needed to be said, Nangong Ge saw no need to linger and turned to leave.

Alone, An Xiruo stood on the edge of the misty cliff, her red dress particularly eye-catching. She gazed into the distance, her thoughts drifting elsewhere.

She hadn't expected things to develop this way and was extremely worried about Chen Qingyuan's safety.

Due to the restrictions of the Ascension Path, she also lost contact with Yue Hong. Therefore, she did not know Chen Qingyuan's current situation.

"I'm waiting for you to come home."

No matter how many years pass, I will wait.

An Xiruo has a firm will and will not be swayed by anything.
