209: Chapter 209 Huayin Jiaoyue, Surname, Dao Decline

Taizhen, a Nascent Soul Cultivator who had not yet practiced the Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation Cultivator system, sighed and said,

"It is hard to imagine what kind of immense power is required to possess such means to change the world. Even those higher-level Void Refinement and Integration Stage cultivators, while they might have the means and ability, might not necessarily be able to achieve such architecture and feats."

However, on a cosmic scale, the size difference between terrestrial planets and stars is generally vast, making them almost impossible to observe with the naked eye from the periphery.

Therefore, through the calculations of the internal sensors of the tianhe ship, everyone discovered that this planetary system had 12 orbiting planets. The nine closest ones were all rocky planets, located in the same orbit and receiving the same stellar energy irradiation, which was clearly an artificially modulated operational mode.

After the tianhe ship appeared in the outside world, the Ling Ming intelligent entity submitted an entry application to the local traffic management department.

The traffic department, having already received some information, acted quickly. They approved the application and dispatched a Bronze warship, also at Mid-Tier Level 1, to sail alongside the tianhe ship.

Subsequently, Ling Ming received a holographic video connection request. After the Incarnation consented, the projection of a female Mid-Tier powerhouse appeared, dressed in snow-white robes, with a gentle expression and an extremely cold temperament.

"Master Tianhe? I am the academy instructor responsible for welcoming you for the exchange at the Bronze Academy this time, Priest Jiaoyue of the Huayin Clan. You may also call me Huayin Jiaoyue."

Regarding the surnames of the current three great human races, the Bronze Human Race retains some clan and family names from the primitive period. The Tao Clan and the Huayin Clan are both priestly clans that have produced Mid-Tier powerhouses for generations.

As for names like Savage, they lean more towards the majority of surnames found within the Golden Human Race.

As for why the Golden Human Race has such surnames, it involves the early days of their rise, when the Golden Human Race received significant help from the high-tier Elf race. Therefore, to strengthen the connection between the two races, some Transcendent Lives used special means to conceive and give birth to many descendants from both races, which gradually formed such surnames.

Later, because the Silver Human Race and the Bronze Human Race had the help of the Golden Human Race, they retained most of their surnames, hence each has its own characteristics.

"Priest Jiaoyue, I wonder if Senior Chenshui has completed the matter in Qingxu Heaven."

Seeing this Master Tianhe of the Black Iron Human Race mention that powerhouse, Huayin Jiaoyue spoke with a somewhat regretful expression.

"The academy has not received any corresponding news; she must not have returned yet. Otherwise, I would have had the opportunity to meet her during your visit this time."

"Master Tianhe, you may follow my warship into the First Academy of the Bronze Academy. Afterward, we will host a Dao Discussion Exchange Conference for you, which is considered a tradition among the Galactic Transcendent Academies. The academy previously received information from Savage regarding your Transcendent Life system, and many instructors and professors are very interested. What exactly is special about this Transcendent Life system of yours, which has been specifically named by His Excellency the Eternal Golden Dragon King?"

The Incarnation had indeed looked up information about the Dao Discussion Exchange Conference on some academy websites, but he keenly sensed that the attention and commentary from His Excellency the Eternal Golden Dragon King had played a huge role, so he immediately asked her.

"Is His Excellency the Eternal Golden Dragon King a high-tier lord of the Golden Human Race? I am fortunate to have received a comment from this lord."

At this moment, the intelligent entities of both sides also controlled the warships to enter the interstellar highway planned and set within the planetary system. The warships maintained light-speed cruising, while the exterior was moving at superluminal speeds.

Generally, high-level civilization planetary systems are equipped with high-energy environments that distort spatial constants, and conventional Dark Universe travel methods have resulted in numerous accidents. At the same time, most areas need to maintain a secretive environment, which is why this type of super interstellar highway that constantly moves itself was built, thereby achieving superluminal movement at conventional light speeds, while also ensuring order and travel safety.

Huayin Jiaoyue answered affirmatively.

"That is correct. It is said that this lord has existed in the world for over a million years and is still able to remain in the material universe. Their strength is extremely formidable even among high-tier lords."

"I heard from Savage that they likely came to investigate the reason for the appearance of that Star Beast. Being able to appear within the forbidden divine ability of the Great Sage Speaker Meteor is enough to attract the attention of high-tier lords, and perhaps even lords above them."

The Incarnation recalled some information collected previously; the general lifespan of most high-tier lives is around 800,000 years.

It is not that their own spiritual bodies can only exist for so long; the high-tier bodies that have already undergone law transformation basically have no possibility of decay or corruption.

However, within these 800,000-plus years, if they have not built a reasonable self-circulation using multiple laws to sublimate to the next realm, they will fall into the stage of Dao Decay. The originally created and comprehended laws will repel and collide with each other, generating various contradictions. After that, the laws supporting their existence will slowly dissipate and collapse, and their original bodies will naturally be unable to withstand it, simultaneously entering death and returning to nothingness.

Based on this situation, it can be compensated for to a certain extent. After Dao Decay, high-tier existences use their high-status essence to enter the deep cosmic space and reincarnate to cultivate again.

Therefore, theoretically, they are almost immortal existences, but the deep cosmic space is vast, boundless, and infinite.

There are endless and infinite heavens and worlds, and the variables are extremely numerous.

It is not common for them to truly return to the physical universe, but it is at least a glimmer of hope. And to be able to remain in the world for over a million years, they naturally must have begun to touch upon parts of the Transcendent-Tier Dao attainments to possess such ability.

Regarding the Star Beast mentioned by Huayin Jiaoyue, the Incarnation recalled the destruction it caused earlier, and his expression couldn't help but look a bit ugly.

"That Star Beast had an extremely special talent that was difficult to detect. Although it had fallen from Mid-Tier to Primary-Tier Level 3, the Mid-Tier talent it carried caused our Blue Star Human Race to lose nearly half of our population, and we have not yet recovered even now."

Of course, for the Incarnation or Wang An, how the people on those other continents died had nothing to do with him, but the loss of that vital energy (qi) was somewhat painful. If he hadn't subsequently accepted some disciples from the Diling Sect and indirectly obtained their sect's vital energy, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate so quickly and already achieved five Dao Foundations and three Divine Abilities.

Regarding this situation, Huayin Jiaoyue, who had been promoted to the Mid-Tier at only five or six hundred years old, had not experienced scenes of mass death of her kin and could not understand it, so naturally, she would not say anything to avoid causing misunderstandings.

Subsequently, she changed the subject and introduced their Bronze Academy to the Incarnation.

"Our academy planetary system is mainly divided into nine colleges, located on 9 terrestrial planets, which undertake research and teaching work related to the mainstream priestly system, auxiliary professions such as artifact refining, Bronze technology research and development, spiritual plant and herb cultivation, spirit beast cultivation, array domains, ritual patterns, pharmacology, and etiquette."
