Chapter 1510 : Alliance of the Human Sovereign

The remaining six beings at the Dual Taiyi Foundation [a profound cultivation stage where one's foundation is refined to the peak of the Taiyi realm] level, who lack the backing of a Grotto-Heaven [a semi-independent pocket dimension of immense spiritual density, often the seat of a powerful lineage], though they are also Dual Taiyi Foundation cultivators, likely possess slightly weaker hidden cards. It is uncertain if they hold trump cards like a Taiyi Immortal Weapon [a supreme-grade immortal artifact of the Taiyi realm, capable of unleashing world-shaking power].

As long as they lack such ultimate trump cards as a Taiyi Immortal Weapon, we would still stand a fighting chance against them.

Hearing this, Nyssa Qu offered words of comfort: "You need not worry overmuch. Such Imperial Son [a title for the direct descendants or chosen heirs of a Celestial Emperor] and Divine Son [a title for the scions of powerful divine lineages] will naturally be dealt with by the likes of the Great White Celestial Maiden and the Pure Yang Holy Son."

"For us, the most pressing task is to find a way to establish contact with the Human Sovereign [the supreme ruler and protector of humanity in this cosmos] and the Three Emperors of the Minor Universe [a smaller, self-contained cosmos within the greater multiverse]."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen inquired, "Have we already dispatched envoys to make contact with them?"

"Arrangements have been made."

Lyra Jiang spoke softly, then continued, "We are currently awaiting their reply. If they respond with goodwill, we shall arrange a face-to-face meeting."

"Good."

Eldrin Chen gave a firm nod. "Time is of the essence. We must secure an agreement for cooperation with this cosmos's Human Sovereign before the Minor Universe is opened."

"If no word arrives before the Minor Universe is unsealed, we will have missed the optimal window for forging an alliance." For the best reading experience, visit audio - novel . com.

With those words spoken, Eldrin Chen let out a soft sigh and said no more.

After the others had dispersed, he took Lyra Jiang aside and began, "During this journey, I saw Grandfather."

"Grandfather?"

Lyra Jiang's heart trembled, and she could not help but ask.

Eldrin Chen nodded, then continued, "Indeed. Unless I am mistaken, it was the reincarnated form of Grandfather, Xander Jiang."

"Judging by his current level of cultivation, his memories from his past life must have been fully restored."

"However, the timing was not right then, so I did not reveal myself to him."

After hearing him out, Lyra Jiang fell into thoughtful silence for a moment before saying, "Grandfather's status is unique now. For him to dare enter the Minor Universe [a small, self-contained cosmos], his cultivation has likely already reached the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm]."

"His coming to this Minor Universe [a small, self-contained cosmos] will likely allow us to aid each other."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod of agreement.

Jiang the Sovereign Emperor had already cultivated the Twelvefold Heavens and Earth [a supreme cultivation realm or profound technique], and as the esteemed Ethereal Void Holy Son, supported by a top-tier Grotto-Heaven [a blessed, self-contained pocket dimension of immense spiritual power], his combat prowess was undoubtedly comparable to a Half-Step Celestial Immortal. It was even highly likely he possessed a Taiyi Immortal Weapon [a legendary weapon of immense power, forged with primordial energies].

Once we step into the Minor Universe [a smaller, self-contained cosmos or dimensional realm], he could prove to be a formidable ally.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen mused thoughtfully, "By this reckoning, our hidden strength may yet increase by another measure."

Not long after Eldrin Chen returned to the Yin Plane Microcosm [the microcosmic realm governed by Yin energies], Ethan Chen, who had journeyed to the Yang Realm [the realm governed by Yang energies], finally made his return.

Seeing his arrival, Eldrin Chen could not help but inquire, "How did your mission fare?"

"I made contact with the Human Sovereign's Palace in the Yang Plane Microcosm,"

Ethan Chen replied with a grave expression, then looked at Eldrin Chen and continued, "The Human Sovereign [the supreme ruler of humanity in that realm] conveyed that, with the Yang Plane Microcosm currently beset by calamities both natural and man-made, he must preside over the greater situation. Therefore, he wishes to invite us for a discussion."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of contemplation passed through Eldrin Chen's eyes.

After a moment of silent deliberation, Eldrin Chen spoke, "To demonstrate our sincerity, on this occasion, Divine Lord Glaze and I shall go."

Having said this, he turned to Zixuan the Daoist and instructed, "We ask Fellow Daoist Zixuan to command the grand formation. Should the situation turn perilous, you may harness the formation's power to activate the Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword [a divine sword capable of summoning the power of countless heavenly tribulations] and summon us back."

"Rest assured, leave this place to me."

Hearing this, Zixuan the Daoist gave a slight nod and said.

With Zixuan the Daoist's cultivation base, augmented by the power of the Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword, the combat prowess he could unleash should be comparable to an existence at the Dual Taiyi Foundation level.

Furthermore, bolstered by the Formation of the entire Yin Plane Microcosm, the power he could wield might not quite rival a Heavenly Immortal Paragon, but its offensive and killing force would likely far exceed the limits of a Dual Taiyi Foundation cultivator.

With such power guarding their retreat and providing support, they would have a fallback option should the situation become truly desperate.

"Then I am at ease." Read, share, and discuss at audio-novel.com.

With Zixuan the Daoist's assurance, Eldrin Chen felt a measure of calm settle within him.

He left Lyra Jiang and the others behind to assist in managing the grand formation. Then, activating the Heaven-Deceiving Secret Art to conceal his aura and appearance, he stealthily infiltrated the Yang Plane Microcosm.

Yet, the moment he stepped into the Yang Plane Microcosm, Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly.

Witnessing this, Divine Lord Glaze let out a soft sigh and said, "This Minor Universe teeters on the brink of silent extinction and decay. Now, the Heavenly Dao [the supreme natural order and governing principle of the cosmos] has grown considerably weaker. Barring unforeseen events, it will be utterly destroyed within one hundred thousand years."

"Hmm."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, offering no further words.

As he traversed the Endless Void, he discovered that within this vast Yang Plane Microcosm, hundreds of great Ronan systems drifted and floated amidst the Endless Void.

Yet, between these great Ronan systems, spatial rifts were everywhere, with billions upon trillions of stars adrift within the Boundless Starry Sky.

But almost every moment, tens of thousands of stars were erupting, their incandescent fires sweeping through the Minor Universe, forces of utter annihilation engulfing vast stretches of the starry expanse.

"Supernova Eruption."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly. The Supernova Eruption, an event exceedingly rare in his previous life, occurring only at a star's final twilight, was now a commonplace sight.

He understood the reason in his heart. This cosmos was in its terminal phase, its celestial Rule and Great Dao [the fundamental principles governing all existence] thrown into imbalance, triggering this world-ending spectacle.

Continuing thus, these hundreds of great Ronan systems, their billions upon trillions of stars, would all be ceaselessly annihilated over the next several tens of thousands of years.

Until, after one hundred thousand years, when every last star had perished and the universe returned to darkness, that would be the moment of its final, complete destruction.

"A scene of world's end," Eldrin murmured inwardly, a sigh escaping his lips as he gazed into the distant starry expanse. A colossal star was detonating.

Eldrin Chen's heart gave a faint sigh. He looked towards the starry sky not far away, where a massive star was exploding.

Beside that star, upon an ancient planet spanning tens of thousands of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters], hundreds of millions of Human Race beings witnessed this spectacle, their faces etched with utter despair.

The annihilating radiance devoured everything, seeming poised to tear the entire celestial body into fragments.

"Alas—"

Just as this ancient world was on the verge of destruction, a sigh resonated from within the Void [the primordial emptiness from which all things manifest].

Then, a hand vast enough to blot out the heavens descended, enveloping the starry void. At the critical moment, it seized the entire ancient planet and spirited it away.

By the time the myriad beings upon that world regained their senses, they found myself adrift in an unfamiliar corner of the cosmic sea.

Beneath the Boundless Starry Sky, stretched an immeasurably vast and primordial land.

The one who had intervened was none other than Eldrin Chen. He had gathered the living souls from that ancient world into his Earth Immortal World [a self-contained microcosmic realm cultivated by an Earth Immortal], then cast the planet itself into the depths of the Abyssal Grand Realm. There, it became the first star to grace the firmament of the Abyssal Realm.

Witnessing this scene, Glaze Qu could not help but sigh softly and say, "You can save one star, but you cannot save everyone."

"Since we have encountered them, if we can lend a hand, we should try to save them."

Eldrin Chen murmured quietly, then continued his journey deeper into the starry expanse.

This Minor Universe was vast and boundless. As Eldrin Chen traveled toward the depths of the cosmos, he rescued many ancient stars of the Human Race along the way. Unconsciously, he arrived at the outskirts of a Ronan star system.

"Human Sovereign Nebula."

Gazing at the vast nebula before him, Eldrin Chen slowly let out a breath he had been holding. Support the author by reading on https://audio-novel.com.
