Lu Yin felt a bit confused. “If that’s the case, then why did she allow the Mirari Realm to be anchored here? Was that simply so that she could break from the River of Aeons, or is her freedom somehow connected to the anchoring of the Mirari Realm?”
Mister Mu shook his head. “Only the ferryman knows those details. I can’t see through Wei Nu’s plans. If you want answers, you can only find them within the Mirari Realm.
“When it comes to reaching Immortality, everyone is an enemy. Everyone is seeking a way to achieve Immortality, so do not trust anyone lightly.”
Lu Yin nodded. “I understand.”
Lu Yin needed to prepare for the worst during his next visit to the Mirari Realm. He expected to run into True God, and experts from the Spirit Nidus as well. It was vitally important that Lu Yin choose the correct companions.
He needed to be able to out-maneuver and possibly eliminate his enemies while in the Mirari Realm, but he also needed to make sure that the Heavens Sect was protected.
While time did not pass for those in the Mirari Realm, Wei Nu had introduced an unpredictable variable. She was able to allow people to enter the Mirari Realm at any time, which could potentially curtail its unique temporal qualities.
Lu Yin had no desire to leave the Mirari Realm only to find that the Heavens Sect had been destroyed.
...
More than half a month later, Lu Yin arrived on the Endless Frontier. He had been informed that the Mirari Realm would supposedly appear in a parallel universe that was part of the Endless Frontier. He had finally obtained information regarding the exact location.
At the same time, True God and his group arrived from a different direction, as they also made their way towards where the Mirari Realm would appear.
Everyone was wary, and they all scanned the entire universe as soon as they arrived. They did not want to be ambushed by the Heavens Sect.
However, everyone was overthinking things. Lu Yin had not learned in advance where the Mirari Realm would appear, so he had not been able to arrange an ambush.
The Quietude Universe was one of the parallel universes in the Endless Frontier. It was a perfectly ordinary universe, and before Lu Yin entered the Sixverse Association, the most powerful expert in the universe had only been as powerful as a Semi-Progenitor.
No one would have expected the Mirari Realm to appear in such a universe.
Lu Yin and True God arrived in the Quietude Universe at nearly the same time.
Given the fact that both groups consisted of experts, they sensed the other’s presence as soon as they arrived in the universe.
Lu Yin’s eyes flared wide. “Kill!”
Across from him, the round-faced old man’s expression changed. At first, he believed that they must have been deceived, but then, an odd phenomenon appeared between the two groups. Within the phenomena, the River of Aeons could be vaguely made out. The Mirari Realm had appeared.
It really had appeared.
Faced with the temptation that was the Mirari Realm, even with Lu Yin and others from the Heavens Sect present, the two Seraphs could not resist rushing in.
Their desire for the Mirari Realm was too intense.
True God’s eyes looked across the universe and locked onto Lu Yin and his group.
Lu Yin was also looking at True God. “Yong Heng, you stole Tian Ci’s mirebound artifact that is a spirit seed and then tossed him to me. I’ll remember your favor.”
With that, soil appeared overhead, and it crashed down upon True God and his group.
From beside Lu Yin, the Pridebeast and the Megalith both shot forward, as did Chu Yi and Lu Yuan. At the same time, Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Ku, who had been chasing after Forgotten Ruins God and the others, also arrived in the universe. This gave the appearance that the Heavens Sect had surrounded the Aeternals.
The round-faced old man heard Lu Yin’s comment, and he automatically wanted to turn around and look at True God, but the old man restrained himself. Instead, he roared, “Boy, trying to stir up trouble now is pointless! You’ve obstructed my Spirit Nidus’s plans, and I will kill you!”
Bao Qi took out his Cauldron Bell, releasing its silent power and instantly sweeping across the universe. The entire Quietude Universe trembled.
Countless dirt spears appeared and rained down to stab at True God and those with him.
Forgotten Ruins God and Wang Xiaoyu were cautious, but the two Seraphs were undeterred. In front of them were Chu Yi and Lu Yuan.
Far away, Progenitor Chen had borrowed the power of Lu Yin’s soil with a Linked Palm.
Progenitor Ku directly ran straight at True God. He had already had the courage to invade the Scourge on his own, and he had no intention of allowing True God to escape.
A battle between the most powerful experts of two megaverses shattered the Quietude Universe. Fortunately, after the Aeternals were defeated, the universe had been evacuated. If anyone had stayed behind, they would not have survived the first clash.
1. In earlier chapters, 岁月之河 was translated as the "River of Time." However, this term fails to capture the full meaning and poetic nuance of the original Chinese. The term 岁月 suggests more than the linear or measurable concept of time (which usually appears as 时间), and instead encompasses the relentless flow of the passing of time. 岁月 indicates the grandeur of history, the transience of life, and the inexorable flow of existence.
To better convey such depths, we have revised the translation to River of Aeons. "Aeons" evokes the idea of timeless epochs and a sense of an eternal flow, which more closely aligns with the weight and mystique portrayed in the original text. This change will also apply to related terms such as "branches of the River of Aeons" and powers derived from 岁月, to ensure consistency and fidelity to the original narrative. ☜
