Chapter 1997: Chapter 1997: The True Face of Eternity
To reach the level of eternity is to arrive at the end of eternity and see through to the essence of eternity.
This ancient secret was coveted not only by Chu Yuan but also by the citizens of the empire.
"We are finally about to understand the essence of eternity!"
All the formidable beings, including Hongmeng, the Great Emperor of Longevity, and the Ancestor Immortal, were full of expectation.
"Where I am is the end of eternity."
Chu Yuan did not need to deliberately seek the end of eternity, because if one is not of the eternal realm, one cannot find it.
He himself represents an eternity; anywhere on the path of eternity, he can break through the barriers, which means that wherever he is represents the end of eternity.
The end, marked by Chu Yuan’s presence.
His will was vast, instantly shattering the barriers of time and space, reaching the true end of eternity.
With a single step, he could seemingly break through the path of eternity to enter a world no one could comprehend, yet he could not do so now, as the Great Annihilation of Eternity had not yet arrived.
"I have reached the end of eternity,"
When Chu Yuan took that step, he arrived at a kind of endpoint.
"Ding! Host has completed the mainline task, reaching the end of eternity, and has gained ten billion Destiny Points, 10 Divine Elixirs for healing, 10 Eternal Divine Elixirs, crafting blueprints for Eternal Battle Armor, crafting blueprints for Eternal Battle Blade, 1 Eternal Artifact—Eternal Divine Hall, 4 Eternal Artifacts—Heavenly Pillars, 1 Eternal Heart, 1 random drawing opportunity."
"Ding! The current mainline has been issued: Counter the Great Annihilation of Eternity, transcend the path of eternity."
At the moment the rewards were issued, Chu Yuan’s new mainline was also delivered.
These were all things he must do.
"The end has been reached, I must see through to the true face of eternity!"
Chu Yuan did not concern himself with the rewards given by the system.
His will was infinitely vast, transcending the obstruction of boundless time and space in an instant, no plane could withstand the power of his will.
His true self was still on the path of eternity, but his spiritual power was infinite, reaching an unprecedented place unreachable by anyone else.
He witnessed the true face of eternity.
Beyond eternity, he unexpectedly saw the outline of a person.
Indeed, his will had transcended the path of eternity, to reveal a person’s outline, seen by Chu Yuan’s will.
When his will returned, the path of eternity remained the path of eternity, and in the boundless realms, that person was no longer visible.
A person.
Boundless eternal time and space.
"What is this, could this be the true face of eternity!"
"A person’s shape, is this eternity? The person’s appearance is utterly indistinguishable, who exactly is he, and how is he connected to the path of eternity?"
"Is he alive or dead?"
"Could it be that the path of eternity is something he carved out?"
An unbelievably shocking scene, when the empire’s formidable beings saw the visage beyond eternity, they were all plunged into an intense incomprehensible shock, completely different from their imagined eternity.
Among them were countless who believed that beyond eternity there might genuinely be an eternally lasting world.
But now, a person had appeared instead.
What does this represent, what does this mean?
Where on earth were they living?
Countless people began to have doubts.
"A person, the eternal divine spirit?"
Chu Yuan’s mind fell into deep thought, with his will transcending, he could only see an outline, unable to glimpse the entire visage.
As he pondered, he looked up into the sky.
Suddenly said, "Yanran, you have come."
Yanran was also an extremely mysterious person.
"Chu Yuan, I have come."
The divine lady Yanran had arrived, calling directly Chu Yuan’s true name, not the Emperor.
"Since you have come, I know you understand the true face of eternity. Your many memories will awaken at the end of an epoch, and now, the end of an epoch has arrived, and many memories have been restored. You have come here to tell me the true face of eternity."
Chu Yuan ascended to the heavens.
He faced the divine lady Yanran as the Eternal Emperor.
"Chu Yuan, in my memory, you are not the first to trigger the Great Annihilation of Eternity; there have been several annihilations in previous eras, the outcomes need not be mentioned."
The divine lady Yanran said.
"There have been annihilations before!"
Upon hearing this, the empire’s formidable beings were greatly shocked. Annihilations, they had occurred before.
Yet immediately they thought of a more terrifying question: since there have been several annihilations, why does the divine lady Yanran still exist—could it be she can withstand the power of annihilation?
"They all failed."
Chu Yuan responded.
"What do you think the true face of eternity is? What does this world represent?"
The divine lady Yanran’s demeanor was always indifferent and cold, she asked Chu Yuan.
"Perhaps I already know the true face of eternity."
Chu Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "I saw a person, that person is eternity, that is his true face, and the world we live in is actually within that person’s body, the eternal time and space."
His answer was astonishing.
"We live inside a person!"
Hongmeng, pursuing the true face of eternity, upon knowing this answer, showed signs of mental collapse; he couldn’t fathom that they were inside a person’s body.
All their struggles were struggles within a person’s body.
This was unimaginable and beyond belief, even laughable, as if it was meaningless.
This made it hard for many minds to accept, causing their dao hearts to collapse.
A person’s intracelestial space was all their world.
Unable to hold back, he asked, "Then what does the eternal rule represent?"
"The eternal rule is the will that governs this world. If I am right, that person has already died, with only the Heavenly Dao operating, the self becoming the eternal world."
Chu Yuan was not overly shocked, speaking these words as if naturally.
The so-called transcendence from the path of eternity is to transcend this person’s bodily universe.
The power of the entire path of eternity, everyone could feel it—mighty beyond compare, one epoch following another, yet the one who transformed into the eternal universe had perished.
This was too shocking.
How strong must such a being have been?
It was known that, in their eyes, the eternal rule was insurmountable and unchallengeable.
"Is my answer correct,"
Chu Yuan said.
"This path of eternity is indeed a person’s intracelestial space, the power of the heavens, trained to the extreme, a piece of flesh can create infinite time and space. This person, through special methods, refined time and space within, and because he has died, the passage to the outside world is closed. The eternal rule is the will of the world, each epoch repeating a cycle, unable to open the passage by itself, for when he died, the passage was closed."
The divine lady Yanran said.
She seemed to know everything.
"Yanran, you should be from beyond eternity,"
Chu Yuan understood, the divine lady Yanran’s identity was by no means simple.
Her cycle method would cause her to forget all memories at the beginning of an epoch, reincarnate and be reborn, and awaken again at the end of an epoch.
"You are also not simple,"
The divine lady Yanran looked at Chu Yuan and continued, "Though you have just become eternal, you already possess a celestial heart."
