TL: Etude
The Immortal True Lord never emerged from the Abyss of Destruction, which most likely meant he had perished.
Subsequently, the Immortal Race used various methods to confirm that the Immortal True Lord had indeed fallen in that world within the Abyss of Destruction and was utterly incapable of resurrection.
When a being died, its soul imprint would be reclaimed by the universe’s origin, enabling resurrection. Even if the Immortal True Lord had stored a sliver of his soul in treasures like the Zichen Wood, if the soul imprint dissipated, that sliver of soul would be like a rootless duckweed, useless for resurrection.
Thus, the Immortal True Lord’s fall in that world within the Abyss of Destruction was a true demise.
Though the Immortal Race was enraged, they could do nothing, and the matter gradually passed.
From then on, the Immortal Race never produced another rebel, yet their power still overwhelmingly surpassed other races, remaining the foremost super race.
After Ye Tian returned, he began to comprehend the Spear of Hellish Void and a newly chosen great divine ability, the Wheel of Time. The Wheel of Time was a great divine ability that, once it struck an enemy, could draw them into a time loop, using time rules to continually annihilate the enemy’s vitality.
For weaker enemies, unable to escape the time loop, their consciousness would become trapped in the cycle, ultimately leading to their death.
If the Wheel of Time was used in battle, it could decisively turn the tide.Time practitioners who mastered great divine abilities were feared, and no one wished to battle such practitioners.
Previously, Ye Tian couldn’t have mastered the Wheel of Time. He had barely managed to master the Spear of Hellish Void by using space source fragments and the twenty-one words of the Heavenly Dao of Space.
If he had to search for the words of the Heavenly Dao of Time, he wouldn’t have been so lucky.
Now, having refined a sliver of the universe’s origin, he no longer needed to seek out the words of the Heavenly Dao and could freely cultivate any great divine ability, including those of time.
“Begin cultivation!”
Ye Tian entered a frenzied state of cultivation.
Days passed, and Ye Tian continually pondered the Wheel of Time, from initial confusion to gradual understanding and eventual enlightenment.
A hundred years flashed by!
One day.
Ye Tian’s excited shouts echoed in the cultivation chamber.
“Hahaha, I finally mastered the Wheel of Time!” Ye Tian exclaimed excitedly.
With the mastery of the Wheel of Time, Ye Tian’s strength advanced further.
“If I can cultivate the Spear of Hellish Void to the minor realm, my power will grow even more.
Moreover, the Heavenly Moon Saber ultimate technique can still be refined, increasing its terrifying power.
This period is my time of rapid progress, a perfect opportunity to cultivate extensively without rushing to break through to the Galaxy level.” Ye Tian thought to himself. 𐍂𝒶𐌽òʙÈṡ
Meanwhile, Ye Tian often bathed in the peculiar water to align his body with the power of the Chaos Dao.
This alignment had no limit, though the effects diminished over time, it was still effective overall.
Additionally, Ye Tian gave some of the peculiar water to his wife, Xiao Yue, for her to soak in, aiding her in mastering her own Dao in the future.
Besides these cultivations, Ye Tian did not forget to practice the Tiangang Battle Technique. The Tiangang Battle Technique was formidable; mastering all nine styles would greatly enhance his combat prowess, making this supreme battle technique essential to cultivate.
Having mastered the first style, he needed only to continually practice it, allowing him to start on the second style.
The second style of the Tiangang Battle Technique was more powerful, but naturally more challenging to cultivate.
Though Ye Tian had refined a sliver of the universe’s origin, enabling him to master the second style, he estimated it would take at least tens of thousands of years, even with accelerated time, it would take several decades.
Thus, while cultivating other aspects, Ye Tian occasionally pondered the second style of the Tiangang Battle Technique.
Time passed year after year.
Time flew, and a thousand years went by in a flash.
During this millennium, the Human Race grew increasingly prosperous. The Ghost Race Star Fields they once occupied now had a large human population, strengthening the Human Race.
Notably, the Human Race had produced a Heavenly Venerable and a Supreme, a cause for celebration.
In the universe, several new princes emerged, including a terrifying Eternal-level prince among the Great Gods. Though not an Invincible-level Eternal prince, he was far stronger than an ordinary first-tier Eternal prince, nearly an Invincible-level Eternal prince, making him the Human Race’s most promising candidate to reach that level.
This prince was Ye Tian’s disciple—Zhou Tian, known as the Heavenly Saber Prince! In the eyes of the Human Race’s high-ranking members, Ye Tian’s reputation was far greater than Zhou Tian’s. However, to ordinary cultivators in the star field, the Heavenly Saber Prince was more renowned.
Ye Tian’s rapid cultivation progress and lack of significant missions had left him with little reputation.
Conversely, the Heavenly Saber Prince had been active in various star matters, slaying countless traitors, accumulating considerable fame.
At the same time, the Heavenly Saber Prince had gained notoriety among other races, killing numerous princes, making him a thorn in their sides.
Yet, on this day.
The Heavenly Saber Prince encountered trouble!
Tian Pavilion.
Xiao Yue sought out the secluded Ye Tian.
“Husband, your disciple Zhou Tian is in trouble!” Xiao Yue said.
“What happened?” Ye Tian frowned.
“Zhou Tian’s body is shattered, his soul about to be obliterated. Though a Dominator has forcibly stabilized his soul, it cannot be saved.
Now, Zhou Tian is in the Supreme Hall of Humanity. Because you are his master, the hall sent someone to inform you.
Zhou Tian wishes to see you before he dies…!” Xiao Yue hurriedly said.
“What!!!”
Ye Tian was furious.
His only disciple was about to fall.
“I’ll go to the Supreme Hall of Humanity immediately!”
Ye Tian teleported, rushing to the Supreme Hall of Humanity.
Soon, Ye Tian arrived at the Supreme Hall of Humanity, finding Zhou Tian in the cultivation tower of the Heavenly Region.
In a grand hall.
Zhou Tian’s illusory celestial soul sat there, accompanied by a Dominator and several Universal Gods.
Upon seeing Ye Tian, Zhou Tian forced a faint smile and said, “Master, I’m finally seeing you! Now I have no regrets!”
Ye Tian, observing Zhou Tian’s state, felt his heart sink.
The core of Zhou Tian’s celestial soul had shattered. If not for the Dominator continuously stabilizing it, Zhou Tian would have been obliterated instantly.
“How did this happen?” Ye Tian asked.
Zhou Tian was too weak to respond, so the Dominator beside him explained, “True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws, one of the minor races rebelled, and the Heavenly Saber Prince happened to be on a mission with that clan. We didn’t anticipate that the race had already allied with a larger faction. Caught off guard, several Universal Gods protecting Zhou Tian perished, and a Dominator was severely injured. Despite the severe injury, the Dominator managed to bring back Zhou Tian’s nearly shattered celestial soul.”
“What about that minor clan?” Ye Tian inquired.
“They were wiped out by Kunwu Supreme,” the Dominator replied.
“Which major cosmic race backed them?” Ye Tian asked, taking a deep breath.
“The Angel Race,” the Dominator said. “Their strength still surpasses ours, being an old and powerful cosmic race. Our Human Race can’t contend with them, so we have to endure this loss.”
“Damned Angel Race!” Ye Tian wished to annihilate them, but he was too weak to contend with them. He then examined Zhou Tian’s celestial soul closely.
Despite possessing the Nether King Secret Manual and being highly knowledgeable about souls, Ye Tian couldn’t save Zhou Tian in his current condition.
“Can’t the Human Race do anything?” Ye Tian asked.
“Nothing can be done!” The Dominator shook his head. “Kunwu Supreme also came to assess the situation and expressed his inability to help. This isn’t an ordinary injury; it’s a shattered soul. No matter the cost, it can’t be healed, unless a Soul Supreme intervenes.”
“A Soul Supreme?” Ye Tian smiled bitterly. He was only at the Nether General level; his soul expertise was far from reaching the level of a Soul Supreme. Other Human Race experts had even less soul proficiency, so hoping for their help was unrealistic.
“Master, I have no regrets. To have my name known among the Human Race is enough. I only regret not being able to repay your teachings!” Zhou Tian said weakly.
“Zhou Tian, don’t worry. I will resurrect you!” Ye Tian assured him.
“True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws, resurrecting the Heavenly Saber Prince, an Eternal-level prince, isn’t as simple as resurrecting an ordinary Universal God. The cost is enormous! Moreover, the Heavenly Saber Prince didn’t store a sliver of his soul in the Zichen Wood, so the cost will be even greater,” the Dominator hurriedly said.
“As long as he can be resurrected, I don’t care about the cost!” Ye Tian said firmly.
Seeing this, the Dominator said no more.
At this moment, Zhou Tian’s celestial soul completely collapsed, beyond even the Dominator’s ability to maintain.
After Zhou Tian’s death, Ye Tian sought out Kunwu Supreme.
To resurrect an Eternal-level prince, at least a Supreme had to intervene, and even then, not just any Supreme could do it. Thus, he went to Kunwu Supreme.
Soon, Ye Tian met Kunwu Supreme.
In the Kunwu Pavilion.
“Ye Tian, I know why you’re here. You want to resurrect Zhou Tian, right?” Kunwu Supreme asked first.
“Yes, Kunwu Supreme,” Ye Tian replied. “Our Human Race can resurrect Universal Gods and Dominators. Resurrecting Zhou Tian should be possible, right?”
Kunwu Supreme said, “It is possible, but the cost is enormous.
Some Universal Gods and Dominators can be resurrected because they stored a sliver of their soul in the Zichen Wood, making the cost slightly less, though still significant.
For instance, when several Universal Gods and Dominators of the Human Race fell last time, they all needed resurrection. However, the Human Race couldn’t resurrect them all at once, or our strength would suffer greatly, making us vulnerable to annihilation by other cosmic races.
Therefore, these resurrections take time, requiring a queue.
Those with higher status and deeper backgrounds get resurrected first, then slowly the other Universal Gods. Some Universal Gods even need to wait tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of years.
Now, if you want to resurrect Zhou Tian, he can join the queue. In a few billion years, it will be his turn.”
“What? A few billion years?” Ye Tian was stunned.
If it took that long, he wouldn’t need the help of the Human Race’s other Supremes. He could resurrect Zhou Tian himself by then.
“Kunwu Supreme, I can’t wait that long. Is there a quicker way?” Ye Tian asked.
Kunwu Supreme pondered for a moment and said, “Yes!”
