Chapter 1303: Chapter 45: The Eternal Lords

"Infinite, what have you discovered?"

The other towering figures turned their gaze.

There were thirteen towering figures in total, all of whom were Thirteen Eternal Lords.

They were also the Eternal Lords who had vanished from the second source world where Lin Yuan had arrived before the great change of heaven and earth.

"The demonic qi has diluted somewhat."

The first towering figure speaking had a solemn tone, He was the Master of Infinite, the founder of the Eternal Infinite Sect.

Since the birth of the source world, if the Lord of Heaven Light is considered the first Eternal Lord,

then the Master of Infinite is the second Eternal Lord.

The Eternal Infinite Sect is also the most deeply founded of the six great Eternal Sects.

"The demonic qi has diluted?"

The twelve towering figures were slightly startled.

The thirteen Eternal Lords actively bore the majority of the magic disaster’s source power, confronting it here, unable to intervene in the source world.

If not for the thirteen Eternal Lords, the source world would have been completely eroded at the time of the great change of heaven and earth.

At that time, while the thirteen Eternal Lords might survive, all beings of the source world would undoubtedly perish, causing the entire source world to prematurely step into ruin, leaving the timing of the next rebirth unknown.

This result was nearly inevitable after the thirteen Eternal Lords observed trillions of future timelines.

The only hope was for the thirteen Eternal Lords to willingly abandon everything in the source world, to restrain most of the ’source’ of the magic disaster, to delay as much as possible the complete erosion of the source world by demonic qi.

And amid countless future timelines, after these thirteen Eternal Lords chose to actively confine themselves here,

there would be several timelines—

A new Eternal Lord would emerge from the beings of the source world.

The new Eternal Lord would clear the magic disaster, resist demonic qi erosion, and join forces with the thirteen Eternal Lords, with a slim hope of completely saving the source world.

Overall, the possibility of the source world’s eventual salvation seemed near despondent.

It could even be said there was hardly any hope.

Yet the thirteen Eternal Lords resolutely chose to take this path.

As Eternal Lords, elevated in the hierarchy of time beings, they observed many timelines, but were not entirely void of emotion.

They allowed their home world to experience a complete cycle of destruction, but absolutely did not wish to see it meet an early demise due to demonic qi erosion.

"Demonic qi thinning?"

The Master of Wushan, a towering figure, carefully observed for a while before nodding and saying: "Indeed, it has become much thinner, what is truly happening?"

According to the repeated observations and schemes by the thirteen Eternal Lords before the great change, the current timeline should not present the thinning of demonic qi.

Even though they were extraordinarily remote from the source world at this moment, they could sense the thinning of demonic qi permeating inside and outside the source world, indicating significant changes within the source world.

"It shouldn’t be, should it?"

"Has something unpredictable occurred?"

The Master of Black Space spoke with a sense of veiled concern.

The so-called unpredictable.

Refers to future timelines that the thirteen Eternal Lords have not observed.

Even though the thirteen Eternal Lords together observe the future, ultimately they are not Perfect Time Beings of the Fourth Rank, unable to perceive all future timelines, the true future may not be among those they have observed.

This is the unpredictable.

And the unpredictable possesses no inherent good or bad.

It could be good.

It could be bad.

For instance, the thinning demonic qi right now.

It might be favorable, because the denser the demonic qi, the more terrifying it would erode the source world.

Thinning demonic qi slows the erosion of the source world, improves the internal beings’ cultivation environment, and increases the chances for a new Eternal Lord to emerge.

Yet perhaps it might also be a bad thing.

Thinning demonic qi? Why thinning? Is it being absorbed and devoured by some existence?

Who can absorb and devour demonic qi on such a large scale? Demon God? Demon God absorbs and devours demonic qi on such a large scale? Is it the final preparation for the complete erosion of the source world?

This would be bad!

"Since an unpredictable has occurred, I will watch the future timeline anew from the current point in time."

The Master of Infinite pondered for a while before speaking.

Even though the thirteen Eternal Lords were confined here, they were not entirely idle and were continuously observing future timelines.

It was just that the future timelines they observed, the starting point was fixed before the great change of heaven and earth in the distant past.

At that time the thirteen Eternal Lords selected a large number of timelines, then observed them one by one, delving deeply into each timeline until the complete annihilation of the source world.

Even as time beings, observing timelines trillions of years in the future was quite exhausting, let alone choosing a large number of starting points to observe all at once.

Since the great change of heaven and earth, an Eternal Lord has chosen a new starting point to observe future timelines, but the closest to the present was still ten thousand or million years ago.

No Eternal Lords had observed the future from a starting point within ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years were far too brief for an Eternal Lord.

"Let me take a look..."

Before the Master of Infinite, the timeline unfolded anew.

Since unforeseen changes had occurred in the source world, observing from the current new starting point would inevitably reveal the impact of those changes on the future.

"Hmm?"

He casually chose a timeline and observed for tens of thousands of years.

The Master of Infinite then saw, in that future timeline, the distant source world surrounded by boundless demonic qi, suddenly manifesting a Black and White Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram.

Initially, the Tai Chi Diagram was exceedingly small, but after merely several breaths, it became infinitely vast, enveloping the entire source world.
