Chapter 1953 : Secrets of the Lunar Emperor

According to the memories of Lyra Jiang's Restoration [a divine ability that allows one to recover past life memories], her previous incarnation had indeed left behind numerous contingencies. These included a significant number of rare treasures, among them several Chaos Lunar Fruit [a legendary fruit born from the fusion of Chaos and Lunar energies], all intended to facilitate a swift return to Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [the cultivation realm of a Chaos Emperor Monarch] strength once her memories were restored.

Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, the contingencies left by the Lunar Emperor Lord [the title of Lyra Jiang's previous incarnation] seemed to have been unearthed by someone long ago. Even the Chaos Lunar Fruit had vanished without a trace. Consequently, almost all of Lyra Jiang's cultivation resources had to be painstakingly sought out by Eldrin Chen.

Returning to the main thread, having established sufficient justification, Eldrin Chen personally penned separate letters to four peerless Emperor Lord [a supreme title for cultivators who have reached the pinnacle of the Emperor Lord realm]: Taicang Divine Emperor, Taiyang Emperor Lord, Grand Nether Emperor Lord, and Grand Frost Emperor Lord.

After handling this matter, Eldrin Chen dispatched the letters to the Depths of Chaos [a primordial and perilous region of the cosmos]. He then entered seclusion with several of his Dao companions to heal his wounds.

In recent years, using the Yin-Yang Mutual Cultivation Dao [the Dao of Yin-Yang Mutual Cultivation, a profound dual cultivation art] as his foundation, he had developed a method for healing injuries through dual cultivation. Now was the perfect time to put it to use.

Not long after Eldrin Chen entered seclusion, Departing Flame Emperor Lord was the first to receive the letter.

This peerless Emperor Lord looked at the letter in his hand and could not help but smile. "This Eldrin, the Immortal Lord is quite interesting," he remarked. "His words plead for assistance, yet they do so without groveling, clearly outlining the stakes and consequences involved."

In his arms, a peerless Grand Luo [the Grand Luo Immortal realm, a supreme cultivation stage] Immortal Consort asked, "Shall we help him?"

Departing Flame Emperor Lord did not answer directly. Instead, he said with a smile, "In this world, neither pleas, threats, nor temptations can truly sway a person's decision."

"As for whether to offer help, it depends on which choice proves more advantageous for us."

As his words fell, Departing Flame Emperor Lord summoned one of his Grand Luo Golden Immortal subordinates and declared, "Issue the command. During the period of the Chaotic War, the initiation of a Great Dao Contention [a climactic, all-out struggle for supremacy over a Great Dao] within the Eastern Departure Flame Domain is forbidden."

"Any who dare to launch a Great Dao Contention against the Human Race of the Eastern Departure Flame Domain during this time shall be considered an enemy of this Emperor Lord."

Elsewhere, Taicang Divine Emperor gazed at the letter in his hand, remaining silent for a long moment before finally closing it.

By his side stood a woman of breathtaking beauty, clad in a long blue gown.

This woman was Taicang Divine Emperor's Dao Companion, the mother of Drayan Taicang, and also the formidable 'Azure Dawn Emperor Lord' of the Divine Race, her cultivation having reached the sixth layer of the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch realm.

After a moment of contemplation, the Azure Dawn Emperor Lord inquired, "Do you intend to form an alliance with him?"

Taicang Divine Emperor did not answer immediately. Only after a lengthy pause did he speak. "The path of Yin-Yang [the cosmic duality of passive and active forces] that Drayan walks... those who block his way are none other than the Solar Celestial Emperor and the Lunar Demon Sovereign."

"It is an impassable dead end. Only by undergoing Foundation Reforging [a perilous process of completely rebuilding one's cultivation foundation] to cultivate the Profound Yin and Profound Yang Great Dao can he avoid these two and possess the possibility of proving his Dao and attaining the Chaos Divine Emperor realm."

Hearing this, the Azure Dawn Emperor Lord drew a deep breath. "Sister Grand Yin [the supreme passive, receptive principle of the cosmos] truly lives up to being a Heaven-ordained Divine Emperor. I never imagined she would still possess such profound legacies."

"This Opportunity may be our son's one and only chance for a Heaven-Defying Fate Alteration [a radical, destiny-defying transformation]. We absolutely cannot let this Opportunity slip through our fingers."

Taicang Divine Emperor [the supreme ruler of the Taicang Divine Court] nodded, then spoke: "You shall go personally. Deliver the Profound Yin Origin [the primordial essence of profound yin energy] and the Profound Yang Origin [the primordial essence of profound yang energy] to Drayan for his Foundation Reforging [a supreme process to rebuild and perfect one's cultivation foundation]."

Azure Dawn Emperor Lord [the sovereign lord of the Azure Dawn] nodded, and after a moment's thought, added, "Should this succeed, we would owe them a favor of cosmic proportions."

"I intend to bring that treasure with me, to repay this immense debt."

Upon hearing this, Taicang Divine Emperor [the supreme ruler of the Taicang Divine Court]'s expression shifted subtly. Given the vastness of the Lunar Emperor Lord [the sovereign lord of the lunar realm]'s legacy, any ordinary treasure would surely be beneath their notice.

The treasure that Azure Dawn Emperor Lord [the sovereign lord of the Azure Dawn] wished to present, one that could catch the eye of Lyra Jiang, was undoubtedly no common, world-shaking rarity.

Taicang Divine Emperor [the supreme ruler of the Taicang Divine Court] did not answer immediately. Only after a long silence did he draw a deep breath and say, "So be it. If it ensures Drayan's ascension to the Dao, then that treasure is a small price. Take it to them."

While the two consorts of the Taicang Divine Emperor [the supreme ruler of the Taicang Divine Court] were deliberating, the Grand Nether Emperor Lord [the sovereign lord of the Grand Nether], the Taiyang Emperor Lord [the sovereign lord of the Grand Sun], and the Grand Frost Emperor Lord [the sovereign lord of the Grand Frost] had all received their missives.

All three Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarchs [supreme rulers who have attained the pinnacle of the Primordial Chaos realm] placed great value on this Opportunity [a rare and pivotal chance for advancement] for Foundation Reforging [a supreme process to rebuild and perfect one's cultivation foundation]. Each dispatched the disciple with the greatest potential from their respective sects.

Thus, time flowed on. Roughly a million years later, just as Eldrin Chen's injuries had finished their Restoration [a process of profound healing and recovery], he discovered that the chosen experts from the four great Imperial Courts had already arrived.

This Opportunity [a rare and pivotal chance for advancement] for Foundation Reforging [a supreme process to rebuild and perfect one's cultivation foundation] was treated with utmost seriousness by all four Imperial Courts. From the Taicang Divine Race [the divine lineage of the Taicang court], the Azure Dawn Emperor Lord [the sovereign lord of the Azure Dawn] came in person.

The Taiyang Imperial Clan dispatched the Grand Elder of the Taicang Imperial Clan, a cultivator at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Great Perfection level. His cultivation was second only to the three Primordial Unity Emperor Lord Level Supreme Elders and the Progenitor of his clan.

The Grand Nether Imperial Court and the Grand Frost Imperial Court also each sent a Great Luo Golden Immortal Great Perfection expert in person.

Eldrin Chen personally received them and signed alliance treaties with the four great Imperial Courts. According to the pacts, if a Primordial Unity Emperor Lord Level powerhouse were to attack the Abyssal Immortal Alliance, the Emperor Lord of these four Imperial Courts would be obligated to intervene and block them.

As for attacks from Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivators, the Chen Clan Immortal Alliance would handle them itself, requiring no effort from the four Imperial Courts.

Furthermore, when necessary, Eldrin Chen could request the four Imperial Courts to act once, aiding him in proactively dealing with a powerful enemy.

In return, Eldrin Chen would expend four precious Opportunity to perform the Foundation Reforging [a supreme technique to rebuild and perfect a cultivator's foundational potential] for four top-tier prodigies from these four great powers, granting them the aptitude and foundational depth of a Primordial Unity Emperor Lord Level cultivator.

After the contracts were signed, Eldrin Chen met the four individuals chosen by the Imperial Courts for the Foundation Reforging.

Among these four, Eldrin Chen recognized two: his foremost Divine General, Drayan Taicang, and the Imperial Scion of the Taiyang Imperial Clan, 'Wuji Taiyang'.

Of these two, Drayan Taicang had followed Eldrin Chen for many years, surviving numerous Chaos Great War. His combat prowess had reached the pinnacle of the Eight Tribulation Ancient Immortal realm, comparable to a top-tier prodigy with a single True Spirit Foundation.

Wuji Taiyang had once broken through to Celestial Immortal in the same Dao Tribulation [a grand heavenly trial marking a major advancement] as Eldrin Chen. Having cultivated for nearly four Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles, each spanning billions of years], his cultivation had also advanced to the Eight Tribulation Ancient Immortal realm.

Moreover, Wuji Taiyang possessed astonishing talent, ranking among the top ten imperial scions in the history of the Taiyang Imperial Clan. Consequently, he received the personal cultivation and guidance of the Taicang Imperial Clan.

Under such circumstances, Wuji Taiyang had already cultivated four Indestructible Foundation [the foundational cultivation stage that is nearly impossible to destroy], placing him on par with the Candle Dragon Scion of old.

Besides these two, the Grand Nether Imperial Court and the Grand Frost Imperial Court each dispatched a top-tier imperial scion: the Vast Cold Celestial Maiden and the Candle Nether Celestial Lord respectively. Both had achieved three Indestructible Foundation.

These four could be considered the foundational geniuses of the four great imperial courts. Even without undergoing Foundation Reforging [a profound process of reforging one's cultivation foundation], their hopes of breaking through to Late Great Luo Golden Immortal [a high stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm] were immense. There was even great hope for them to achieve Great Luo Golden Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm].

However, aside from Drayan Taicang, the others' hopes of proving their Dao and attaining the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [the sovereign realm of Primordial Chaos] remained slim. Without even more heaven-defying fortune, their chances of a successful breakthrough, even with a Primordial Chaos Origin Seed, would not exceed thirty percent.

Understanding they were about to receive the Opportunity [a rare chance or legacy that can drastically alter one's cultivation path] left behind by the Lunar Emperor Lord, the four could not contain their excitement.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen looked towards the Azure Dawn Emperor Lord and the others, saying, "This Opportunity is a matter of grave importance. I must ask you all to return to your respective imperial courts and await news."

The Azure Dawn Emperor Lord and the others nodded in understanding. Though curious about the nature of the Opportunity left by the Lunar Emperor Lord, they knew such a legacy was no trivial matter. To prevent prying eyes, Lyra Jiang and Eldrin Chen would absolutely not disclose its details.

With this in mind, they gave slight nods of acknowledgment, took their leave one by one, and departed the Abyssal Immortal Domain to await further tidings.

After the envoys from the Seven Great Immortal Domains had departed, Eldrin Chen led the four into the depths of the Abyssal Forbidden Land. There, he used the power of the Chaos Great Dao [the supreme Dao of Primordial Chaos] to seal their Six Senses [the spiritual senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and spiritual awareness].

After completing all these preparations, Eldrin Chen retrieved the Creation Cauldron [a legendary cauldron capable of refining and reforging the very essence of beings] and began the process of Foundation Reforging [a profound divine ability to reshape and rebuild a cultivator's foundational cultivation base] for them.

Due to the scarcity of Creation Origin [the primordial essence of creation, a supremely rare spiritual material], Eldrin Chen did not intend to consume any Creation Origin for this Foundation Reforging of the four individuals.

Fortunately, the four great powers had prepared precious High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure [supreme treasures born from the primal chaos, possessing immense innate power], which could serve as ultimate treasures to aid in the Foundation Reforging of the four.

Using the Creation Cauldron, Eldrin Chen refined and assimilated the High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, then supplemented the process with the power of creation to reshape the foundational roots of the four. After several hundred thousand years, he finally succeeded in reforging their foundations.

Because they had assimilated the High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the foundational cultivation bases of the four underwent a tremendous enhancement.

Both the Vast Cold Celestial Maiden and Candle Nether Celestial Lord managed to forge Seven Indestructible Foundations [a supreme cultivation foundation comprised of seven unbreakable pillars of power]. However, since no Creation Origin was consumed, the newly forged four Indestructible Foundation [a foundational cultivation realm representing an unbreakable base] were merely of the ordinary grade.

The original three who possessed Indestructible Foundation advanced a step further, seizing this opportunity to cultivate their foundations into the Upper Stream grade of Indestructible Foundation.

An Upper Stream Indestructible Foundation was already considered extraordinary and formidable. This grade of foundation represented a significant step beyond the base level of Indestructible Foundation.

With such a foundation, if they could later cultivate to the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [an emperor-monarch realm born from the primordial chaos] and obtain sufficient Opportunity [a fortuitous encounter or resource critical for advancement], there was even a sliver of possibility for it to transform into a True Spirit Foundation [the pinnacle grade of foundational cultivation realm].

Furthermore, judging by the potential of their Seven Indestructible Foundations, their combat prowess already rivaled that of the weakest single True Spirit Foundation cultivator. In the future, their probability of refining an Innate Beginning [a primal, foundational energy] to break through to the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch realm should be no less than fifty percent.

Such astonishing aptitude would be considered top-tier even among those at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal stage within the Great Luo realm], fully worthy of the utmost cultivation efforts from a great imperial court.

In comparison, Wuji Taiyang's Opportunity [a pivotal chance or fortune in one's cultivation path] was even more remarkable. He originally possessed four Indestructible Foundation [an exceptionally stable and powerful foundational cultivation base], and now had seized the chance to cultivate a total of Seven Indestructible Foundations.

The newly cultivated Indestructible Foundation was merely of the lower-tier, which was not particularly noteworthy in itself. However, his original four Indestructible Foundation all started at the upper-tier.

The most crucial point was that Wuji Taiyang's Great Dao foundation [the core essence of a cultivator's path and power] had now transformed into a supreme-grade Indestructible Foundation.

His Great Dao foundation was originally an upper-tier Indestructible Foundation. Having now stepped into this supreme realm, his potential had become truly formidable. In the future, should he attempt to refine and assimilate the innate essence to advance towards the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [a sovereign-level cultivation realm born from primordial chaos], the probability of failure would be exceedingly low.

Of course, compared to these three, the truly heaven-defying figure was Drayan Taicang, after his Foundation Reforging [a profound process of reforging one's cultivation foundation].

As the direct descendant of two Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch, with a father whose cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of Primordial Emperor Lord [the ultimate completion of the Primordial Emperor Lord realm], he received cultivation resources this time that amounted to an almost all-out investment.

This included the Profound Yang Origin [a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure embodying the essence of profound Yang] and the Profound Yin Origin [a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure embodying the essence of profound Yin], two priceless, supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures.

In principle, without the power of a Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch to drive it, the Creation Cauldron [a legendary cauldron capable of creation and refinement] should be unable to refine supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures and Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

However, the Profound Yin Origin and Profound Yang Origin were the most gentle of such treasures. Being fundamental essences that could be absorbed directly, refining them was naturally an effortless task.

Of course, as the price, the value of these two treasures far exceeds that of many Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures [supreme-grade treasures born from the world's essence, possessing innate power].

Not only that, originally, Eldrin Chen had not intended to allow Drayan Taicang to use the Creation Origin [the primordial essence of creation, capable of reforging one's very foundation]. However, because the Azure Dawn Emperor Lord [a title for a powerful emperor-level cultivator associated with the azure dawn] sent an exceptionally precious supreme treasure, Eldrin Chen ultimately changed his mind.

He employed a single strand of Creation Origin to help Drayan Taicang completely rebuild his foundational roots.

His foundation was originally comparable to a single True Spirit Foundation [a supreme-grade cultivation foundation formed from a True Spirit's essence]. Now, during this Foundation Reforging [a profound process of reforging one's cultivation foundation], he received astonishing resources, naturally undergoing the most heaven-defying metamorphosis.

His entire cultivation of the Grand Yin [the supreme principle of passive, dark, feminine energy] and the Great Dao of the Sun [the supreme path of the active, bright, masculine sun] was wholly transformed into the Profound Yin and Profound Yang Great Dao [the supreme paths of the profound passive and active principles], evolving into a brand new True Spirit [the spiritual essence of a primordial being] aligned with the Great Dao of Yin and Yang [the supreme path of balance between passive and active forces].

Furthermore, the potential of his 'Yin-Yang Immortal Physique' [an immortal constitution harmonizing Yin and Yang forces] was fully sublimated, transforming into the True Spirit Physique [a physique born from True Spirit essence] known as the 'Yin-Yang Divine Emperor Physique' [a Divine Emperor-level constitution of perfect Yin-Yang balance]. His Dao Fruit [the crystallized essence of one's comprehension of the Dao] also seized this opportunity to evolve into a True Spirit Level [a realm or quality pertaining to True Spirit essence] 'Yin-Yang Dao Fruit' [a Dao Fruit embodying the principles of Yin and Yang].

Three major True Spirit Foundations, four major Indestructible Foundations [unbreakable, eternal cultivation foundations].

It can be said that after completing this breakthrough, Drayan Taicang fully possessed the potential [the inherent aptitude and capacity for future growth] of a Chaos Divine Emperor, his potential now surpassing even that of his father, the Taicang Divine Emperor.

Consider that his father, the Taicang Divine Emperor, whose cultivation had already reached the Great Perfection of Primordial Emperor Lord [the pinnacle of the Primordial Emperor Lord realm], had only managed to cultivate two major True Spirit Foundations.

"Splendid," he acknowledged.

Watching the four complete their reconstruction, Eldrin Chen stored away the Creation Cauldron [a legendary artifact capable of forging and reshaping life and matter], then released the sensory seals he had placed upon them.

The four individuals, upon sensing their newly forged foundations, were each overcome with a wave of rapturous joy.

This metamorphosis had not merely altered their base potential; it was a transformation destined to irrevocably reshape their very fates.

There could be no doubt—from this day forth, each would stand as the undisputed first-in-line within their respective Imperial Courts, true seeds of a Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [the supreme sovereign realm born from the primordial chaos].

Consider this: when an Imperial Court finally obtains a precious fragment of Primordial Chaos Origin, granting it to another Great Luo Golden Immortal Great Perfection cultivator might yield a mere thirty percent chance of a breakthrough. Yet, bestowing it upon them would promise a probability exceeding fifty percent to ascend to the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch realm.

When that time comes, the question of priority for receiving such an Opportunity [a rare chance or resource critical for advancement] requires little deliberation.

This thought filled Vast Cold Celestial Maiden and Candle Nether Celestial Lord with profound excitement. They both bowed deeply to Eldrin Chen, their voices thick with reverence. "We offer our deepest gratitude for your cultivation, Immortal Lord [a title for a powerful immortal being]."

"There is no need for such formality,"

Eldrin Chen said, helping them to their feet with a faint smile. "In essence, this was merely a transaction."

Wuji Taiyang wore a complex expression. Gazing at Eldrin Chen, he finally sighed. "I had believed our paths would diverge, that our worlds would seldom intersect again."

"I never imagined that this Opportunity would also arrive because of you."

Eldrin Chen offered a faint smile before speaking. "Your own innate talent is also a rarity across the ages, Fellow Daoist. There is no need for undue humility."

Drayan Taicang said nothing more. Over these years of following Eldrin Chen into battle across the Chaos, he had witnessed countless conflicts and had gained a profound understanding of Eldrin Chen.

After witnessing the earth-shattering feat of Eldrin Chen suppressing and slaying the Nine Extremes Divine Lord, he had fully accepted his identity as the First Divine General. Deep within his heart, a peculiar sense of pride had even begun to stir.

At this moment, having successfully cultivated the three great True Spirit Foundation, his very first thought was: "At last, I can fight for him."

Indeed, after witnessing Eldrin Chen's talent that dazzled across the eons and his combat prowess that shook the annals of history, he had already, subtly, been won over.

To serve as a Divine General under such a Peerless Immortal Lord did not seem a dishonorable thing at all.

Perhaps one day, it might become his greatest glory.

As these thoughts drifted through Drayan Taicang's mind, he realized that, without even noticing, he had lost the Dao Heart [the unwavering will and conviction of a cultivator] to compete for supremacy with Eldrin Chen.

Now, his greater desire was simply to follow in Eldrin Chen's footsteps, to witness the rise of a legendary figure. Even if it meant becoming a sharp blade in his hand, clearing thorns and brambles without regret, he wished to be part of this grand, epic tale.

"Not bad at all."

Eldrin Chen patted Drayan Taicang on the shoulder, nodded with satisfaction, and then led the three of them out of the Abyssal Forbidden Land. He then summoned the Emperor Lord [a supreme ruler of an Imperial Court] and Immortal Lord [a powerful immortal cultivator] from the four great Imperial Courts.

Upon seeing them, the several Grand Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal realm] immediately examined the foundations of Vast Cold Celestial Maiden, Candle Nether Celestial Lord, and Wuji Taiyang, and could not help but reveal expressions of ecstatic joy.

The Grand Luo Golden Immortal from the Grand Nether Imperial Court [the Grand Nether Imperial Court, a major power] could barely contain his excitement. He grasped Candle Nether Celestial Lord and declared, "Hahaha! After Umbralia, the Imperial Princess, our Grand Nether Imperial Court has produced another True Seed of an Emperor Lord [one destined to become an Emperor Lord]!"

"It seems that after several thousand Kalpa Tribulation [cosmic cycles of destruction and rebirth], our Grand Nether Imperial Court will become a top-tier Imperial Court with three Emperor Lord!"

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen smiled faintly. Umbralia had cultivated a True Spirit Primordial Spirit [the highest grade of spiritual core], making her ascent to Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [a supreme ruler born from primordial chaos] almost a certainty. With this Candle Nether Celestial Lord added to their ranks, the Grand Nether Imperial Court might truly achieve the status of a top-tier Imperial Court with three Emperor Lord.

Within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective realms of the immortals], Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch were exceedingly rare.

Aside from the disciples of the few Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage [progenitors of the Dao] and the Divine Emperor [Celestial Emperor], the vast majority of Imperial Courts possessed only one or two Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch.

Those capable of nurturing three Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch were almost invariably top-tier Imperial Courts. Generally, only those ranked within the top twenty of the Hundred Immortal Spirit Races [the Hundred Immortal Spirit Races, a coalition of powerful races], or the top ten Imperial Courts among the three dominant races of humanity, demons, and gods, could boast such profound foundational strength.

If the Grand Nether Imperial Court could accomplish this feat, it would directly ascend into the ranks of the top-tier Imperial Courts, becoming a renowned and illustrious existence even within the Seven Domains of the Southern Abyss [the Seven Domains of the Southern Abyss, a vast and perilous region].

A faint smile also touched the lips of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal from the and the Grand Frost Imperial Court. Although they too were at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Great Perfection realm, their hopes of breaking through to become a Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch were, in truth, exceedingly slim.

Without a sufficiently profound foundation and heritage, even if one obtained a [the ultimate fruit of enlightenment from the Primordial Chaos], the likelihood of achieving a Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch breakthrough remained vanishingly small.

However, if their Imperial Court were to gain another Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch, that sovereign might help them slay their Great Dao adversaries. From such a victory, they could seize Dao Authority [authority over a fundamental law of existence], thereby increasing their own certainty of breaking through to the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch realm.

Furthermore, with such power, their chances of victory in conflicts at the Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord level would grow significantly greater. In time, they might even obtain the Opportunity needed for a true Heaven-Defying Fate Alteration [a metamorphosis that defies the heavens and alters one's destiny].

Returning to the matter at hand, having confirmed that their Imperial Scions' foundations had been completely reforged, the three sovereigns were filled with immense joy.

They cupped their hands respectfully towards Eldrin Chen and Lyra Jiang, and spoke, "The Lunar Emperor Lord is indeed a heaven-ordained Divine Emperor. Such profound foundational depth and heritage is truly a marvel of heaven-defying creation."

Lyra Jiang's expression remained serene, like a peerless empress standing in tranquil majesty. She replied with calm finality, "The covenant is fulfilled. You may depart."

"As you command."

The three sovereigns remained exceedingly courteous. They offered Lyra Jiang a slight bow before their forms dissolved into the swirling mists of the Chaos.

The Azure Dawn Emperor Lord did not leave immediately. Her luminous gaze fell upon Drayan Taicang, who had undergone the Foundation Reforging, and a spark of pleasant surprise flickered within her bright eyes.

With great effort, she suppressed the joy in her heart and took Lyra Jiang's hand, saying, "Sister, your methods are truly remarkable. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Eldrin Chen was momentarily taken aback, but then he heard Lyra Jiang's voice whisper into his mind, "This Azure Dawn Emperor Lord was born from the very first dawn light of the Primordial Immortal Domain. During the Primordial Era, he was considered a friend of mine."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen nodded slightly, unable to help but marvel at the breadth of Lyra Jiang's connections.

He said nothing more, allowing Lyra Jiang to guide the Azure Dawn Emperor Lord on a tour of the Immortal Domain, while he himself led Drayan Taicang into the depths of Abyssal Heaven.

Another ten thousand words. Let's go.
