Even Chu Xiao's best brother and the woman he loved most assumed he was dead.
Unexpectedly, this person dragged his mangled body and escaped, fleeing all the way to a lower realm called "Blue Star."
After slumbering for tens of thousands of years to heal his injuries, and with his Dao seal stabilizing, he began cultivating his seventy-second incarnation, rising step by step from the Blue Star, vowing to reclaim everything that belongs to him!
[And in that same year, his seventy-second Dao Seal was formed.]
[Upon recovering to the sixth realm, a perfect set of complementary Dao seals was also formed.]
The seventy-two seals merged into one, paving the path to immortality, transforming into the fruit of ascension to godhood!
[Chu Xiao has been promoted to the Lord of the Spring and Autumn Period!]
[In 4979, you were climbing to the fifth realm of the Flesh Magic realm, leveling up by consuming resources.]
[The sun shines brightly in the sky; throughout the entire Yuantian Realm... it seems as if a second sun has risen!]
You opened your mouth, and saw that happy-looking guy standing above thousands of others.
Xiangyang noticed you too, and waved to you from billions of miles away: "Godfather! Aren't I awesome?"
"I won't watch."
You were both surprised and delighted, and quickly beckoned the boy over.
[“Godson, come here quickly! Your godfather has been hiding all these years, and I don’t know how many powerful figures are watching me…”]
Xiangyang hesitated for a moment: "Godfather, I want to go up there and fight."
"You unfilial son, come here right now!"
[Facing the sun, he took a helpless step.]
[Afterwards, you asked him various questions about the high-end areas of the Yuantian Realm.]
Although Xiang Yang's mind was filled with battle, his outstanding performance over the years (referring to his muscular brute force during each retraining session and his exposure to the scorching sun) had caught the attention of the Spring and Autumn Emperor.
They were also told some top-secret information that ordinary beings in the Primordial Heaven Realm could not know.
For example, more than a thousand years ago, around 3500 years ago, after the newly born ruler of the Spring and Autumn Period in the Primordial Heaven Realm transcended the world, he seemed to attract the attention of some strange monsters from the outside world.
[Immediately afterwards, a layer of "force field" enveloped the entire Yuantian Realm, forming a vast battlefield outside the world—the Battlefield of Annihilation.]
Although it's called the Battlefield of Annihilation, it didn't actually develop into a battlefield like the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races. Instead, the rulers of the Spring and Autumn Period stood on the outer walls of the world and fought against those creatures.
Outside the binding "force field" at the top of the battlefield of annihilation, one after another, strange beasts descend, their purpose being to devour and destroy the Yuantian Realm.
However, those strange beasts didn't devour energy like primordial energy, nor special attributes like space, nor concrete substances like earth and soil.
Instead, it refers to the relatively abstract concept of "luck" or "fortune."
They are devouring the "luck" of the entire Yuantian Realm!
At first, the several rulers of the Spring and Autumn Period within the Yuantian Realm were unaware of this until they encountered a counterattack while hunting these strange beasts and discovered the problem.
Their luck is waning.
[Some rulers of the Spring and Autumn Period established eternal divine beast dynasties, only to discover that their divine kingdom's fortune was being consumed out of thin air. At the same time, many of their prodigies failed to break through to higher realms, and some even lost their entire lives due to accidents during their attempts to rebuild their cultivation.]
[There was another ruler of the Spring and Autumn Period who was alone. He had been stripped of his "destiny." After killing some strange beasts and returning to the Yuan Tian Realm to relax, a bird dropping fell into his cup of tea!]
Although he didn't actually drink the tea, his mood was still ruined. Afterwards, he had a string of bad luck, frequently encountering unpleasant things, some of which required him to maintain a high level of perception (seventh level) to avoid.
These strange beasts were thus named the Robber Beasts.
[A calamity beast that strips away blessings and adds to misfortune!]
"Godfather, do you understand now?" Xiang Yang said with a serious face, "It's not that I want to fight, but for the sake of this world, I have no choice but to fight!"
You: "...I think it's simply that you want to fight."
[Later, you also learned why the information about the plundering beasts hadn't been leaked.]
To be precise, it's not that it's not outwardly known, but rather that only a very small group of people know about it, such as Beichenguang and Xiangyang, who have been rising in prominence in the last thousand years and are expected to become immortals.
Because the beast was too powerful.
[Even the weakest of the beasts, though slightly weaker than those at the seventh realm, is still beyond the capabilities of those at the sixth realm!]
The most powerful of these calamity beasts instilled fear in the few remaining seventh-realm cultivators of the Yuantian Realm, who dared not approach them from trillions of miles away—it was said that among them was even the "Lord of Ten Thousand Calamities."
However, the existence of the Lord of Myriad Calamities is merely a conjecture by the other rulers of the Spring and Autumn Period; whether it truly exists remains unknown. After all, they cannot even deal with the calamity beasts that have already appeared and are sucking blood in the outer layers of the Yuan Tian Realm.
[Xiang Yang relayed the words of the Spring and Autumn Period ruler he had met hundreds of years ago—"The outer layer of the entire Yuantian Realm is now densely covered with countless calamity beasts. For every one that the Seven Realms kill, ten more calamity beasts will descend from outside the Calamity Annihilation Battlefield."]
They are like swarms of horseflies, clinging to the surface of the world, sucking away its fortune, and their numbers are increasing; their numbers have been accumulating and growing over the years!
[More than 1,400 years ago, when they had just appeared and there were only tens of thousands of them, the Yuantian Realm left them undisturbed, allowing them to absorb energy for millions of years without any problems!]
[The number has now exceeded ten million. At this rate, the Yuantian Realm has no more than four thousand years left!]
Moreover, a considerable number of powerful calamity beasts have descended, accumulating and dispersing across various regions. Several "Ancient Immortals" are now almost powerless to resist them!
"This is extremely urgent, Godfather!" Xiang Yang said solemnly, "The Yuan Tian Realm will be destroyed in just four thousand years!"
"You know me, I've been by your side since I was little, Godfather. If it weren't for this or that reason, I would never want to leave you!"
"Even this time is the same; everything I've done is for you, Godfather!"
"Why are you talking so gay?!"
He was about to leave again when you, who had foreseen his departure, stopped him: "Wait a minute, there's one more thing!"
Xiang Yang winks: "Anything else?"
"Do you still remember where you came from? — The Azure Domain. It has now been invaded by a bunch of mythical families. To avoid becoming their slaves, your senior sister and I have been living in hiding all these years..."
"These past years have been so tough for my godfather, so difficult."
"And now, Yang'er, you've grown up—your godfather will live a good life!"
...
(It's past midnight? (ˉ﹃ˉ?) Also, in the narration afterwards, the immortals and true immortals are referred to as the Lord of Spring and Autumn.)
