464: Are there living beings in the celestial realm?

Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate previously said that he was the one who ended the Primordial Era, but as the Lord of the Immortal Realm, why would he act against the Immortal Realm?

Also, what exactly is this 'Lord of the Immortal Realm' that I am?

Is it someone who unified the Immortal Realm, or the Spirit of the Immortal Realm? Or perhaps the creator of the Immortal Realm?

It seems there are only these three possibilities, right?

No, it should be said there are only the first two possibilities.

If he could create the Immortal Realm, he wouldn't dare imagine how terrifying he would be.

Immediately after.

Su Chen turned his head again to investigate the Immortal Realm. Here, he sensed countless incredibly powerful auras. In this era, Immortal Emperors were truly everywhere, and Dominators were less common than dogs.

Almost everyone had high combat power.

Of course.

There wasn't a single Dao Lord-level Cultivator.

What's going on?

Su Chen's eyes were filled with doubt. Logically speaking, the Primordial Era should have been full of powerful experts; it was impossible for there to be no Dao Lord-level Cultivators.

But why were there none?

Su Chen frowned deeply. Normally, the timeline he was currently in was the late Primordial Era, yet he hadn't detected any abnormalities here.

Even the sharp decrease in the Power of the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm happened without any warning.

According to Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate, he was the one who caused the downfall of the Primordial Era, so the sharp decrease in the Power of the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm should have been his doing.

But it didn't seem to be the case.

Or was something else wrong?

Doubt flashed in Su Chen's eyes; he also couldn't quite figure out what was happening.

Furthermore, a very strange thing was that he had previously been able to detect someone summoning him through the fluctuations of time, but when he actually followed the upstream of time to arrive here, he could no longer detect that fluctuation.

It was as if it never existed.

Su Chen looked down, stars swirling in his eyes, and the Power of the Great Dao of Time permeated, as if he saw events countless years in the future.

This was the Great Dao of Time; it could not only freely travel through time, but also directly see future and past events.

Although Dao Lord-level Cultivators could cross the river of time, they couldn't achieve this.

However, because the Great Dao of Time was not yet strong enough, Ye Hao also couldn't see too far into the future, at most only about a hundred epochs ahead.

He once again observed the situation of the sharp decrease in the Power of the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm, but it was still the same as before, plummeting instantly after reaching a certain point in time.

Absolutely no warning!

Is it that strange?

Without that temporal fluctuation, Su Chen suddenly felt a bit lost. He didn't know where to go, like someone in a desert who had lost their navigation.

Now there were only two outcomes before him.

Go back!

Or continue upstream in time.

After a moment of hesitation, Su Chen decided to continue upstream in time to investigate.

His figure gradually dimmed, then completely disappeared.

The aura of the Great Dao of Time enveloped him. Su Chen was like the master of time, going wherever he pleased.

In Su Chen's eyes, various Great Daos were intricately arranged before him, and all events unfolded like videotapes.

As he continuously moved upstream in time, the world became utterly silent, living beings grew scarcer, and immortal Qi began to dissipate.

Su Chen's figure reappeared. He looked at the deathly silent Immortal Realm, a flicker of doubt in his eyes.

"So the Immortal Realm wasn't good from the start; it only improved after countless years of nurturing."

He looked up and saw the gradually forming Great Dao of the Immortal Realm.

Reincarnation?

There is life only with death.

Then will the Immortal Realm also enter Reincarnation in the future, becoming utterly silent, waiting for the world to restart and regain new life?

This is very possible.

Because the Immortal Realm itself is a giant machine; it will also experience Reincarnation, having growth and decline phases. When the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm dies, a new life form will be born.

Of course.

This was just Su Chen's guess based on what he was currently seeing.

Because he could now feel that the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm was growing, like a new life.

"No, that's not right."

Su Chen suddenly frowned. He noticed that the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm suddenly began to become chaotic and violent.

At the same time, the Immortal Realm also began to frantically absorb energy, converging towards the Heart of the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm. However, it was still futile; this energy was simply not enough for the Heart of the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm.

Su Chen saw that this was a critical moment for the formation of the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm. If it continued like this, the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm would probably collapse.

He turned his head to look around. There was not a single living being in the entire Immortal Realm, only him.

No one could resolve this.

After a moment of hesitation, his figure instantly appeared before the Heart of the Great Dao. He raised his hand, and the Power of the Great Dao of Time instantly surged in.

If the Immortal Realm collapsed at this moment, it would mean there would be no future. Everything that was supposed to happen in the future would undergo drastic changes, and everything he cherished would disappear.

And this Power of the Great Dao of Time instantly calmed the originally turbulent Great Dao of the Immortal Realm, and the Great Dao was about to take shape.

Not long after.

A terrifying life force spread in all directions, accompanied by an extremely rich immortal Qi. Countless living beings began to be born, and terrifying auras erupted across the world.

Su Chen, however, frowned slightly. He looked forward, and a pure white, soft light enveloped his arm.

At the same time.

He felt a connection established between himself and the Immortal Realm.

Lord... of the Immortal Realm?

Solemnity flashed in Su Chen's eyes. Was this how he became the Lord of the Immortal Realm?

No!

Absolutely impossible!

How could it be like this!

Su Chen felt his scalp tingle. He looked into the soft white light, his pupils trembled slightly, and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

"Impossible!"

He couldn't help but retreat slightly, seemingly unable to accept the scene before him.

That milky white light represented the Spirit of the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm, yet he saw himself within it. He was almost certain that it was definitely him.

Because within it, he felt the aura of Karma intimately connected to him, an aura exactly like his, with no difference whatsoever.

Why would it be me?

I have merged my future, past, and present, the three lives into one. I no longer exist in the past, nor do I have a future. Why would I still appear here?

A second me.

Moreover, I came back from the future to the past, so why would there be two of me in the same spacetime?

It shouldn't be like this.

"Boom!"

An incredibly terrifying aura burst forth. Su Chen's eyes were filled with gloom. There is only one me in this world.

If a second one appears, it must be fake.

With that said.

He directly reached out to grab the milky white light.

The white light seemed to sense something and began to tremble slightly, as if pleading.

There was no pity in Su Chen's eyes. He exerted a slight force, and the white light instantly shattered. The Great Dao order of the Immortal Realm also collapsed violently, and the world once again returned to deathly silence.

Su Chen was stunned when he saw this scene.

Was this the true Spirit of the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm?

In his daze, his body fell directly from the sky. The aura of the Great Dao of Time within him had actually disappeared at this moment.

Su Chen heavily smashed into the ground, a deep pit appearing. His hands trembled incessantly; not only had the Great Dao of Time disappeared.

His cultivation was also rapidly draining away.

Su Chen looked again in the direction of the Spirit of the Great Dao, his eyes filled with confusion. Was that really me?

I killed myself, and as my future self, I was also affected by my past self.

But haven't I merged my three lives into one?

Why?
