【The Era of Imperial Decline, as the name suggests.】
[When a Cosmic Emperor falls, it will likely take 20,000 to 30,000 years for his mark to dissipate within the Heart of the Universe, allowing the next invincible being to merge with it.]
"Could it be that a super genius will emerge, blinding the Heart of the Universe and allowing many people to leave their mark on it together?"
"That's a great idea! If we were to write a novel about it, we'd call it Meng Zhou."
[A group of super geniuses, due to spatial limitations, being born too late, or other factors, never had the chance to fight the invincible Lord of the Universe, or were left feeling resentful after narrow defeats.]
They chose to seal away their prime years through special means, to be reborn in the next great era of cosmic conflict.
"Legend...it's just a legend. After becoming a Cosmic Emperor, there's an extremely slim chance of glimpsing the Celestial Realm!"
【you:"……"】
"To be fair, you pseudo-cosmic lords are far stronger than those true immortals."
[The ultimate level of the Six Realms of the Thirty Thousand Heavens, after breaking through to True Immortal, only has 30 million Dao Principles. Since resonance wasn't triggered, it only has 30 million Dao Power, or 370 million Dao Power.]
However, after these five realms take control of the Heart of the Universe, their power is comparable to 22.8 billion units of cosmic force, and their Dao power reaches 2.28e238!
[That was truly boundless. Originally, the only allowed systems in this universe with a Dao Seal quality below 1 point were garbage systems. Even if they desperately pursued combat power and added a 360-fold multiplication of Holy Power, they could at most possess a combat power of 500,000 Thorns.]
[Their technological development is restricted, their technological levels are blocked. Even if they follow the path of manipulating the laws of technology, they will be limited to the level equivalent to the fifth realm, and even with their utmost efforts, they can only destroy a single star.]
Of course, that's not absolute; simply piling on hundreds or thousands of times more technological resources can result in significantly higher damage output.
[But this is equivalent to a normal wooden boat being rowed by manpower, a large ship being powered by a steam engine and electricity, and a spaceship being powered by nuclear energy.]
[Then you could send 100,000 people to an aircraft carrier to row using massive propellers that perfectly align with kinetic energy conversion, or use steam engines to burn coal and hot water to power a spaceship...]
[Theoretically, it's possible under ideal conditions to drive an aircraft carrier with only human power and to fly into space with only steam engines, but that would be too wasteful, and would only result in quantity, not quality!]
[A multitude of technological creations piled together can be stronger than a Fifth Realm Perfection cultivator; similarly, a group of Fifth Realm Perfection cultivators can unleash tens or even hundreds of millions of Thorn Power through formations, combined attacks, and other methods!]
It's easy to imagine how outrageous their meteoric rise to power was...
[That's roughly equivalent to jumping through three major realms!]
[You seem lost in thought within this vast, immortal universe.]
"Although a cosmic emperor has just fallen, it's time to open the Immortal Path!"
In the "Immortal Absolute" universe, you spent three years replicating the more than 200,000 Dao Principles you were missing, becoming a Universe Lord.
In an instant, you discover the numerous restrictions set by the round creature "Apo." While some of these restrictions don't reach the level of Apo's 27 billion-level Dao power, they would still require at least a 26 billion-level Cosmic Lord to break through.
[Literally speaking, even if 26.999 billion perfect immortals came to this universe, they couldn't change those rules.]
But your normal state is fine.
[However, before lifting the restrictions, you feel pity for the many prodigies of this universe.]
[I don't mean anything by it, but they struggled and fought their whole lives, only to end up with nothing. It's truly tragic.]
“Details about the word ‘she’”.
You've decided to pave the path to immortality for them!
"Is the only path to immortality truly being opened up?"
[The Holy Maiden of Taiying, the Goddess of the Northern Azure Sky, the King of Burial, the Holy Queen of the Cross Star...]
"A single queen? Interesting."
You awaken people from each sealed land.
For example, there is the ancient phoenix goddess Feng Yuan, renowned for millions of years, who has been constantly awakening from her slumber and vying for the position of the cosmic overlord.
You knock on the Flaming Celestial Crystal outside the Phoenix Nest: "The Immortal Path has been opened, and the Phoenix Kite is still awake."
[When you woke her, she was filled with anger; her crimson cloak billowed, igniting half the sky, and her crimson-gold eyes radiated the ultimate pride and majesty of a phoenix, until you communicated with her telepathically, transmitting something to her.]
[So you lay together in the phoenix's nest, which was like a clear, still pool, with red and white water mingling in it, a testament to your deep love.]
"Where is there no goddess without a crown? Where is there no divine maiden? There are many like you two."
You also salvaged some defeated survivors from a corner of the starry battlefield.
[For example, the "Celestial Warriors" who once shook hundreds of star systems.]
She is an incredibly fierce fighter, having grown up in an environment of relentless combat and death. She rose from an ordinary beggar girl to become a fearsome celestial warrior, a force to be reckoned with in the stars!
During the great cosmic struggle eighteen hundred years ago, within a "Heavenly Gate," over a billion cultivators at the peak of the Fifth Realm were engaged in a fierce battle!
[The corpses piled up like mountains, yet no one cared; every participant wanted to become the next Unicron!]
[The Heavenly Warriors were among the last to survive. At that time, only two people remained alive at this Heavenly Gate. One was her, kneeling on the ground, unable to stand up. The other, his legs trembling, stepped forward and knocked her down with a single punch.]
Perhaps it was out of a sense of camaraderie among heroes, but the victor of the Heavenly Gate, after defeating the Heavenly Fighter, did not kill her to permanently eliminate an opponent; instead, he simply recovered his strength and left.
The Heavenly Warrior lay silently collapsed in the Heavenly Gate, surrounded by countless corpses and soaked in flowing blood. Unaware of anything, she gazed up at the sky… She had been defeated for approximately five hundred years, and heard the sound of the universe trembling.
The victor who defeated her at the Heavenly Gate became the Cosmic Emperor who suppressed the entire universe.
[However, absorbing the Heart of the Universe does not significantly increase lifespan. That conqueror was already extremely old at the time, and in the more than a thousand years after becoming the Cosmic Emperor, no "Great Dao Treasure Medicine" appeared in the universe. Ultimately, he died of old age a little over a hundred years ago.]
[The Heavenly Warriors, from their defeat at the Heavenly Gate until the fall of the Emperor nearly two thousand years ago, have lay withered in this Heavenly Gate, sometimes standing atop mountains of corpses, sometimes leaning against a corner of a wall.]
She couldn't understand why she had lost. She pondered this for 1,800 years, from age 600 to 2,400, and still couldn't understand.
You feel it's necessary to help her resolve her inner conflicts and ease her frustration.
"I don't think this is just ordinary guidance and counseling."
