TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1179: Chapter 473 Ascension to the Immortal Realm Chapter 1179: Chapter 473 Ascension to the Immortal Realm Two hundred years into the Shenwu era, the Four-pole Heavenly Catastrophe crossed the border and reached Central State.

Eight hundred years into the Shenwu era, the natural disasters eroded the outer circle of prefectures and counties of Central State, and the territory of Great Chu Country shrank by nearly half, with the population dropping to five hundred million.

The world, due to the proximity of disasters, began to grow anxious and frightened.

One thousand years into the Shenwu era, the four great natural disasters converged, accelerating the erosion of Central State; only the core’s last four prefectures remained intact.

However, the order of the world was on the brink of collapse.

If it weren’t for the emperor who had spread his avatars across every prefecture and county, suppressing the people who were nearly driven mad by despair.

I’m afraid that Chu State would have destroyed itself before the disasters could strike.

Even though order was maintained, the hearts of the people had completely lost hope.

Meanwhile, as a large amount of territory was lost, the remaining three hundred million people of Great Chu had exceeded the carrying capacity of the land, and supplies began to run short.

The lives of the lower-class people became difficult, with hunger and satiety becoming the norm.

The golden age of Shenwu, from this moment, lost its luster.

The term “Cataclysm Era” had already appeared among the people.

One thousand one hundred years into the Shenwu era, the Four-pole Heavenly Catastrophe was nearly upon them, and all of Chu State was reduced to the land of just one prefecture, with a population of only ten million remaining.

From this point on, feelings of anxiety, fear, madness, and despair spread uncontrollably among all the survivors.

To seek release.

Some, realizing that everything was beyond saving, completely gave up their last shred of hope.

They decided to face death with their last bit of dignity intact, by voluntarily seeking their end.

“Your Majesty, your unworthy descendants will soon enter the cold tide to accept the judgment of the Heavenly Mandate.

Not being able to serve in front of our ancestor is the sin of the descendants, I hope our ancestor will forgive us.”

The last Prime Minister of Great Chu was also a descendant of Lu Yuan, separated by countless generations, a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, bidding farewell to him in tears.

After speaking, he realized that the emperor above his head, who had ruled Great Chu for thousands of years, was still silent, offering no response whatsoever.

This last minister of Chu was utterly despondent.

He could only weep and bow one last time before rising and leaving the grand hall to meet people waiting for him outside.

The emperor had issued a final notice one month prior.

The disaster that befell the world would completely envelop the Nine Provinces in at most one more year.

And at that time, Chu State would also perish in the natural disasters.

No one would survive.

So within this vast despair, some who had completely lost hope about the future gathered together.

Instead of waiting for the disaster to strike, they decided to find death themselves.

These people didn’t want to live a life worse than dogs for the sake of survival anymore, enduring hunger and cold, barely clinging to existence.

They used up all their food allocations, living freely at the very end of their lives.

Then they gathered in groups, making their way to the northern cold tide.

After a thousand years of development, the cold tide in The North had reached a terrifying level.

A normal person stepping into the land of the cold tide would almost instantly turn into an ice sculpture.

This method, which preserved one’s body without any pain, became the preferred way of suicide for everyone.

Of course.

There were also people who chose other methods like poisonous fires, earthquakes, gales, but those who chose these three paths were a minority and considered unusual.

The empire’s Prime Minister before me was also among those in despair.

He would lead millions of citizens who had actively chosen this path to meet their deaths in the cold tide and face destiny’s final judgment.

And Lu Yuan chose to ignore this.

Scenes like this had been too numerous to count since the eight hundredth year of the Shenwu era.

Every year, a great number of people who could not bear the gradual approach of natural disasters, the slow descent of death, and the increasing hardship of life, chose to end themselves in despair.

Only before, those who chose to end their own lives were ordinary people of lower and middle class.

And now, it was his own bloodline descendant, the empire’s Prime Minister.

There was no difference.

All he could do was use his immense martial power to maintain order amidst the spreading despair of the entire population.

To ensure that those who still wanted to survive, those clinging to life, could have the security of order and live safely to the last.

This was his final tenderness.

It was also the duty of an emperor.

“However, it’s already been one thousand one hundred years in the Shenwu era, and the arrival of the cold tide has taken so long?”

In the empty and serene grand hall, a voice of resignation rose as Lu Yuan sighed, “Maintaining it until now after a thousand years, it’s indeed time to end.”

His gaze passed through the doors of the grand hall and settled on The North.

As if he could look beyond the endless winds and glaciers and see the Northern Dark City that had stood for ten thousand years.

Only ten months remained for the lands of Central State.

Within Chu State, following the departure of that bloodline descendant just now, only a few million people who still wished to live remained.

And these few million people, with the impending disaster, would not be able to live much longer.

Everything would inevitably head towards destruction.

It was so with the Nine Provinces, as it was with Chu State.

And he, the emperor, after protecting the empire for a thousand years, was also time to step down from this position and seek his own future.

“A thousand years of waiting, although due to the reduction in population and territory in the late stage, there was insufficient supply of Qi Luck, and the Taiping three-piece set only managed to be nurtured to the Inferior Immortal Artifact level.

But among the Emperor’s Three-piece Set, the Heavenly Crown successfully cultivated the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit, while the Emperor Robes and Emperor’s War Chariot also possessed the Human Dao Fruit.”
