Chapter 1487 : Great Harvest

"At last, I understand why this miniature cosmos stands on the brink of annihilation."

"Just a minor netherworld cosmos. At its peak, it only housed 100,000 ghost immortals and a few million celestial treasures. How long could such a place endure without collapsing?"

After reading through the data, Yan Ziji let out a soft sigh and remarked with some emotion.

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded faintly upon hearing this. The heavens and the earth had their limits, and so too did the microcosmic universe.

This small universe was merely 30,000,000 light-years in size—not only did it pale in comparison to the Western Qi Divine Abyssal Sea, it couldn't even measure up to the Flowing Rivers 100 Seas. Its diameter was merely a 100 times that of the Abyssal Sea of Returning Ruins.

Such a minor netherworld universe had nevertheless given birth to over 100,000 ghost immortals and more than 1,000,000 immortal-grade spiritual objects.

Yet, across the vast expanse of the 100 Rivers, after enduring countless tribulations and relentless purges, the total number of immortals barely amounted to 10 or 20 1000—far fewer than the teeming multitudes within this netherworld microcosm.

Although this was related to the fact that the Abyssal Pearl had absorbed a vast amount of resources from the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas, it also revealed that the number of these ghost immortals was truly staggering.

However, the Yin Microcosm was only 1 part. According to the materials in Eldrin's possession, while the Yang Microcosm possessed spiritual energy far surpassing that of the Yin Microcosm, it also contained vastly more deities and sacred realms within.

To put it in plain terms, this miniature cosmos could no longer bear the strain.

These ghost immortals, ghost saints, divine spirits, and great sages attained eternal life by pilfering the primordial energy from the microcosm. Over time, the microcosm grew increasingly feeble, until it could no longer withstand the torrents of chaos, making its destruction an inevitable outcome.

"Without a creator who forged the heavens to govern them, such minor universes born of primordial chaos would inevitably meet such destruction."

Eldrin sighed inwardly, a faint trace of regret flickering in his eyes.

Although this Yin World miniature cosmos was comparable to those created by Heavenly Immortal experts, it was ultimately a naturally formed entity within the primordial chaos. Its Great Dao remained fragmented and incomplete, utterly lacking the cyclical Dao of Heaven and Earth.

In contrast, worlds and universes created by immortals like Eldrin, where the creators personally intervened, have a fixed number of Celestial Immortals, Divine Spirits, and even Emperor Lords ordained by heaven and earth.

As long as Eldrin prevents others from ascending, it would be nearly impossible for anyone other than these chosen ones to cultivate to the realm of immortal ascension.

Those who cannot attain immortality or divinity ultimately return to the cosmos after their Dao dissipates, thus causing no loss to heaven and earth.

Even if a rare few anomalies managed to cultivate to the realm of ascension through their own efforts, Eldrin could still expel them from the Earth Immortal Realm, even forcing them to repay the karmic debt owed to heaven and earth for nurturing them.

Thus, in the end, within such a minor universe, unless there exists 1 capable of breaking through the Celestial Immortal Realm and stepping into the Primordial Chaos, its ultimate destruction is virtually an inevitability.

Eldrin pondered for a moment before finally setting aside his thoughts. Gazing at the list in his hand, he said, "Let us divide the spoils."

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Eldrin spoke up, "Setting aside the eighth-tier treasures, we still have 50,000 units of Faith Silver among the spoils we seized."

"The value of the Netherworld Immortal Elixir and some rare treasures could roughly be converted into 200,000 units of that Devotional Argent."

"Furthermore, with the addition of the Nether Immortal Artifact, a conservative estimate would value the seventh-rank treasures alone at around 50,000,000 Immortal Sources."

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

With a full value of 70 million Immortal Sources, this was by no means a small sum.

But Eldrin’s tone shifted, and he continued, “As for the remaining 50,000 incense tribute silver, I intend to use it to purchase eighth-tier, superior-grade immortal pills to replenish my foundational essence.”

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Eldrin (Person Name) expended 50 percent of his origin essence in that single sword strike to slay the Primordial Netherdrake.

So much foundational energy—if I were to refine the Galaxy Starfall Elixir to replenish it, I would waste at least 200,000 years.

To swiftly restore 1's origin source, 1 must refine a top-grade eighth-rank elixir that replenishes the primordial foundation.

Of course, consuming an eighth-rank, superior-grade immortal pill could directly restore 1's foundational essence, yet the value of such a pill far exceeds that of the Galaxy Starfall Elixir.

Originally, Eldrin only needed 30,000 Faith Silver to purchase 30 bottles of Galaxy Starfall Pills for recovery. If substituted with eighth-grade superior immortal pills, it would require approximately 5,000,000 Immortal Origins.

With this thought in mind, the Eldrin of the Ancient Ruins spoke, "Your losses in this battle were too great. These 50,000 Spirit Devotion Ingots should rightfully be yours as compensation."

"Hmm."

Seeing this, Eldrin nodded slightly before continuing, "There are over a 100 1000 seventh-order Nether Immortal Treasures, and more than 8 100 eighth-order Nether Ghost Treasures."

"You may each select a few of these treasures, but I intend to exchange the vast majority for merit points. I shall use them to set up an array and scheme for a mortal realm opportunity."

Upon hearing this, none of the immortals voiced any objections, for in this battle, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) had contributed 90-5 percent of the effort.

This merit was far too great. Even if the Nether Lord of the Ancient Ruins had discovered the microcosmos and, by all rights, should have claimed the first share, he could only step aside now and let Eldrin (Person Name) reap the greatest reward.

Seeing their agreement, Eldrin turned to the Nether Sovereign of the Ancient Ruins and said, “Since you discovered the Nether Miniature Universe, you must claim the largest share of its rewards.”

"I can hand over this Abyssal Pearl to you, but I hope it can remain here temporarily to serve as the core treasure for the formation I'm setting up."

Hearing this, the Ancient Ruins Yin Sovereign nodded slowly. "I can agree to your terms. After the matter is concluded, I won't even claim that Yang Realm treasure."

"Yet among these celestial herbs, there are many that I require..."

Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly upon hearing this. "Set your mind at ease. Though these Netherworld Immortal Herbs (Magical Herb) are exceedingly rare, the vast majority hold little practical value for immortals like us."

"Very well, then. Leave me all the immortal-grade items suitable for celestial beings, along with any immortal herbs of eighth-tier superior grade or above. You may take the remainder—does that suffice?"

Upon hearing this, the Nether Sovereign of the Ancient Ruins smiled and said, "Very well. For supreme immortal herbs of Grade 8, Upper Tier and above, we shall exchange them for merit points."

"If the remaining seventh-tier and eighth-tier immortal herbs were all sold, they could fetch at least 30,000,000 units of Immortal Origin."

"From now on, I shall divide it into 3 portions. Your Chen Clan shall receive 80 percent, while Tianyuan and I will distribute the remainder."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. Among these celestial herbs, the most precious 1 was the eighth-grade, superior-quality immortal herb.

A single eighth-rank, superior-grade immortal herb was worth as much as 10 eighth-rank, inferior-grade herbs, or over 10 1000 seventh-rank, inferior-grade immortal herbs.

They distributed such supreme immortal elixirs, leaving only a minor portion of the gains remaining.

Eldrin did not place much value on these gains. He shook his head and said, "What I truly care about are the treasures of the Yang Realm Minor Universe. While the artifacts of the Yin Realm Minor Universe are rare and precious, possessing too many of them holds little practical use for me."

"Very well. After these immortal herbs are sold, your Chen Clan may simply allocate 50 percent to me."
