Chapter 1141. The Golden Age of Ziyin Realm
Arriving at the edge of the Profound Brilliance Star Abyss, Eldrin trod the Path to Immortality until he unwittingly stood before the Heavenly Scar of the Demonic Abyss.
The Will of the Violet Heaven sensed something and transmitted a benevolent thought: "You have returned."
"It has been a long time."
Eldrin said lightly, a trace of emotion flickering in his eyes.
As the saying goes, heaven nurtures humanity with all creation. Having grown up in the Violet Realm since childhood, he had consumed vast resources of this realm throughout his cultivation journey to ascension. It would be no exaggeration to call him the Child of Destiny conceived by the will of the Violet Heaven and Earth.
Having attained immortality and mastered the Dao for nearly 10 1000 years, he had achieved modest success. Now, descending to the mortal realm and returning to his homeland, he harbored an indescribable sentiment in his heart.
Thinking of this, Eldrin sighed, "It has been many years. How have you been?"
"All is well."
The Will of Heaven replied, then quietly tore open a rift.
Eldrin's gaze flickered slightly. The Path to Ascension to the Ziji Realm still existed; he could simply follow it to return. Yet the Will of Heaven and Earth had opened a rift for him—this was truly beyond his expectations.
Before Eldrin could respond, a vague will from the World Consciousness transmitted: "After 10 1000 years of recuperation, I have regained some of my fortune, allowing your true form to briefly set foot in the Violet Realm."
"So that's how it is."
Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod, yet he understood well that if a true immortal or demonic entity were to set foot in this realm, it would still pose a significant threat to the Will of Heaven and Earth.
Only to someone of absolute trust would the Purple Realm ever grant entry.
With this thought, Eldrin took a single step forward, transforming into a stream of light that descended into the Violet Realm.
After descending into the Purple Realm, a faint glimmer stirred in his gaze as he sensed the realm's transformations, revealing a trace of profound contentment upon his countenance.
Having ascended for nearly 10 1000 years, the spiritual energy density in the Violet Realm today was at least twice as rich as it had been in the past.
Moreover, between heaven and earth, there were numerous auras blazing like the midday sun, many of which already carried a wisp of immortal Dao essence.
As if sensing the shift in Eldrin's expression, the Will of Heaven and Earth conveyed an ethereal message: "Since the end of the Abyssal Cataclysm that lasted for 80 1000 years, 10 1000 years have passed."
The fortune of this realm, dormant for a million years, has begun to erupt. Your generation, forged through tribulations and born in tandem with the revival of heaven and earth's providence, has ushered the Violet Realm into an unprecedented golden age.
The Will of Heaven spoke unhurriedly, and after a long while, it finally said, "In this world today, the number of Nascent Soul Dao Lords has exceeded 3,000, and there are already 30-6 Half-Immortals among them."
These 30-6 individuals all possessed the potential to attain immortality, among whom 7 had forged the very foundation of ascension, needing only to survive the heavenly tribulation to transcend into celestial beings.
Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) felt a faint tremor in his heart. The so-called Ascension Foundation referred to 1 who had already achieved the Dao fruit of immortality.
Such individuals have either cultivated an immortal body, comprehended the laws of nature, or condensed the Dao Fruit of Ascension.
They were but a single step away from immortality, needing only to endure the heavenly tribulation to ascend and shed their mortal forms. 1 could say achieving immortality was already 9 parts out of 10 secured.
At this thought, Eldrin inquired, "Since you've already cultivated the foundation to ascend to immortality, why not undergo the heavenly tribulation and ascend as an immortal?"
Some hesitated to face the heavenly tribulation of ascension, others sought to forge a foundation for the Celestial Immortal realm, while a few remained in the mortal world to accumulate deeper reserves for their clans.
The Will of Heaven spoke unhurriedly, yet with a hint of lamentation, "The most critical issue remains the insufficiency of heaven and earth energy."
"So that's how it is."
Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. Having survived the cataclysmic tribulation, the Purple Realm now witnessed the eruption of fortunes dormant for 1,000,000 years—ushering in what could be called a golden age unseen in a million millennia.
In such a golden age of prosperity, it came as no surprise that numerous peerless geniuses had touched upon the opportunity to attain immortality.
However, during the devastating catastrophe that spanned 80,000 years, the foundational reserves of the Violet Realm had been depleted by 80 to 90 percent. Now, there remained scarcely any immortal metals or divine materials to aid future cultivators in weathering the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.
And that wasn't the most crucial part—what truly mattered was the primordial qi of heaven and earth.
Since the demon god pillar of the Xunwind Divine Ridge was uprooted and the Purple Realm's primordial qi revived, an unprecedented golden age had emerged.
Yet the positions ordained by Heaven and Earth are finite, and even in such a golden age of prosperity, the primordial qi of the world has its limits.
Logically speaking, for a world of this tier, even during a once-in-an-eternity Golden Age, producing 10 immortals in succession would already be the absolute limit.
Yet in recent years, the Violet Realm has given rise to far too many prodigies. Over 9 1000 years ago, the ascension of 3 immortals—Eldrin, Lyra, and Qing Ji—consumed vast amounts of the realm's primordial energy.
Thereafter, the world's spiritual energy revived. Over 2 1000 years ago, 3 more individuals—the Eldrin, the Black Tortoise Ancestor, and the Lord of the Drifting Snow Palace—attained immortality, consuming yet another significant portion of the world's vital energy.
Now, there are still 7 individuals who have laid the foundation for ascension. Should these 7 attempt to transcend their tribulations together to become immortals and convert their spiritual essence, it would likely drain the world’s primordial energy significantly.
At that time, the spiritual energy of the Violet Realm would fall into decline, and the concentration of worldly spiritual energy would greatly diminish. Perhaps for tens of thousands of years, no 1 would be able to achieve immortality.
This was well within expectations, for after the zenith of a glorious golden age, a scene of universal silence was bound to unfold.
Yet the 7 Immortal Dao Ancestors were unwilling to witness this scene, for this era in the Violet Realm had produced a multitude of prodigies—besides their own 7, numerous others possessed the potential to attain immortality.
They tempered themselves through trials to attain the Dao, perhaps forming the most glorious generation the Violet Realm had ever witnessed.
They did not wish for their attainment of the Dao to plunge the Violet Realm into an era of scarce spiritual energy lasting tens of thousands of years, nor did they want countless descendants to lose their chance of ascension because of them.
The Will of Heaven and Earth spoke unhurriedly, its hazy consciousness communicating with Eldrin (Person Name).
"Those 7 children are quite remarkable. They believe that having 7 individuals on the verge of ascension in the same era might make this the most unprecedented generation the Violet Realm has ever witnessed."
The 7 of them did not ascend immediately, for their pivotal purpose was to unite their strengths and attempt to devise a method for the Violet Realm to sustain its Golden Age.
"So that's how it is."
Eldrin gave a slight nod and couldn't resist asking, "Who are these 7 individuals?"
The Will of Heaven and Earth declared, "Master of the Dao Palace, Lin Tianqi, Kunpeng, Kun Xuan, Lei Wanjie, Master of the Star Palace, and your elder brother Kael (Person Name)."
Eldrin (Person Name) nodded upon hearing this, for it was within expectations that these 7 individuals had laid the foundation for ascension.
Eldrin had long been aware of their circumstances, as perceived by Li Huang and the others.
Among the 7, the master of the Dao Palace possessed unparalleled talent. Lin Tianqi and the Roc Demon Saint had long since laid the foundation for ascension. The Kunxuan Daoist, however, suppressed his own ascension due to lacking confidence in surviving the heavenly tribulation.
Lei Wanjie, on the other hand, was the Heaven and Earth Divine Spirit—the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder God. He was the profound foundation nurtured within the ancient 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Mountain. It was from him that Eldrin (Person Name) had obtained the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Scripture in those bygone years.
Later, when Eldrin (Person Name) created the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, he drew considerable inspiration from the 10 1000 Tribulations Thunder Scripture. It could be said that the 2 shared a significant connection.
