The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 466 The Great Era is Coming
"I'm also preparing to wait for the path to immortality to open!" said the Ancient Emperor Qilin.

“Me too! Shall we keep each other company?” said the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor.

"Add me one!"

……

Before long, all the Supreme Beings in the Primordial Ancient Mine made their choices.

Apart from the first Supreme Being who inquired about the difficulty of surviving until the Path to Immortality opened, everyone else chose to wait for the Path to Immortality to open rather than venture into the strange world now.

"You..." Upon hearing the choices of so many supreme beings, the supreme being's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but ultimately he did not lash out.

The Boundless Holy Court has ruled the world for eighty thousand years, which is far too long. He is about to reach his limit. If he does not replenish his life essence, he will definitely not be able to survive until the path to immortality opens.

He wanted the other Supreme Beings to accompany him in attacking the strange world to increase the success rate, but the other Supreme Beings were not fools and would certainly not accompany him. They would definitely prefer him to pave the way for everyone.

It's no use if he has a fit; his will alone cannot withstand the will of more than a dozen people. If he has a fit, he will only bring shame upon himself.

He could only try harder to endure it. Perhaps before he couldn't endure it any longer, other supreme beings from forbidden zones of life would be unable to endure it and would emerge to pave the way for him.

The Supreme Being of the Primordial Ancient Mine made a choice, and the Supreme Beings of other forbidden zones of life made similar choices as well.

Those who can endure it plan to wait until the path to immortality opens, allowing some supreme beings who cannot endure it to explore the way.

It was at this moment that Li Daoming was unaware of the thoughts of the supreme beings in the forbidden zones of life; otherwise, he would have said that such a lack of unity made their deaths truly deserved.

Although it is easy to enter strange worlds but difficult to leave them, the so-called ease of entry is only relative.

Even in the weakest part of the world barrier, it would take the strength of a Heavenly Emperor to break through, while in places where the world barrier is stronger, it depends on how strong the world barrier is.

He had just opened up the passage between the two worlds and stabilized it with three thousand law runes, making the world barrier at that location weaker than ever before.

If they were to be born now, one Supreme Being would be enough to enter the Strange World. If they were to be born within one or two thousand years, even without the five Supreme Beings reaching their ultimate level, they would certainly be able to deduce the coordinates of the Strange World and enter it.

If tens of thousands of years pass, the coordinates of the strange world can be deduced. However, the traces of his Dao will dissipate and the world barrier will be restored. It will not be so easy to open it again. Even if more than twenty supreme beings have reached the ultimate sublimation, they may not be able to open it.

In the universe, even including the underworld, the number of supreme beings in the forbidden zones of life is at most around thirty.

If a few people die before the path to immortality opens, and the path to immortality is divided into several waves, then they will have no chance of opening a passage to the strange world.

……

Time slowly passed, and the dark waves in the universe were all calmed down.

The anxieties and ambitions of many forces in the universe have all failed to materialize.

Even though the Heavenly Emperor led many powerful figures from the Boundless Holy Court away, leaving the Boundless Holy Court almost an empty shell, it was still able to suppress the human world.

After a near-Daoist from the Wuji Holy Court defeated a near-Daoist wielding an ultimate imperial weapon with his bare hands, the entire universe became peaceful, and no one dared to cause trouble in secret anymore.

No one could imagine how powerful he was without using any trump cards. If he had used the trump cards left behind by the Heavenly Emperor, how terrifying he would be. Naturally, no one would dare to cause trouble.

Six or seven thousand years later, the long-standing suppression of the Great Dao finally began to dissipate, some parts of the universe began to recover, the essence of heaven and earth rose, and the myriad paths of heaven and earth gradually became active.

Although the suppression of the Great Dao has not completely dissipated, many powerful figures have made prophecies that the suppression of the Great Dao will completely dissipate in at most fifty years, and the world will usher in another golden age. In the near future, another Great Emperor will be born!

Immediately, many powerful forces in the universe began preparing for the struggle for the imperial path in this lifetime.

"Who do you think will become an emperor in this lifetime?" Many cultivators discussed among themselves. "The Abyss Emperor of the Giant Kun Clan has cultivated for less than a thousand years and has already reached the eighth level of Quasi-Emperor. He is not far from becoming an emperor. Perhaps he can become an emperor."

“The Bright Child of the Bright Clan has already cultivated to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, and he is closer to attaining enlightenment.”

“It’s impossible for Guangmingzi. He broke through to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor more than seven thousand years ago. He’s almost old and about to die. Moreover, even with the Supreme Emperor Weapon, he’s no match for Biluo Divine General of the Boundless Holy Court. How could he possibly have attained the Dao?”

"Perhaps the Azure Heaven God General might be able to!"

“The Azure Heaven God General is also old and has not yet broken through to the alternative path of enlightenment. I think the Star God General, who has only recently risen to power in the Boundless Holy Court, is more likely. He has been cultivating for less than 1,500 years and has already reached the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor.”

……

"Why are they all late-stage Quasi-Emperor level experts? Could they not be newly born prodigies?"

"Yes! It is rumored that the Boundless Holy Court has produced several peerless geniuses, who may have the potential to attain enlightenment."

"There is also the Golden Crow Clan, where a peerless genius has emerged."

……

"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!" Countless people shook their heads.

They do not deny the talent of these peerless geniuses born as the golden age approaches. If they were on the same starting line, they might truly become the ultimate winners and attain the Dao to become emperors.

But this golden age is very different from the past; they were born too late.

In the past, before the arrival of a golden age, there would be a period of hardship lasting up to ten thousand years.

During this difficult period, the essence of heaven and earth declines, all the myriad paths of heaven and earth are hidden, and there is also the suppression of the Great Dao, making it difficult for people to break through their cultivation. In the universe, those who sever the Dao become kings, saints dominate, and quasi-emperors disappear.

The new generation of prodigies have ample time to grow and vie for the throne.

But this era is different. There is the ancient star road created by the Heavenly Emperor, and in the chaotic heavens, many geniuses are not affected by the difficult era of cultivation. Saints are everywhere, and quasi-emperors are not uncommon.

Many people have already cultivated to the late stage of Quasi-Emperor, and perhaps in another one or two hundred years, or even two or three hundred years, they will be able to break through the barrier and attain enlightenment.

Even the most extraordinary geniuses of the new generation, like the former Heavenly Emperor, might not be able to attain enlightenment before them.

"The prodigies born in this golden age may be the most tragic in history. Although they were born in a golden age, they don't even have the qualifications to compete for the throne," some people lamented.

However, what countless people don't know is that what they think is impossible is actually quite possible.

Sometimes, being closer to enlightenment does not necessarily mean a greater chance of attaining it.

To attain the Dao and become an emperor, besides being born at the right time, innate talent is even more important.

Only those with exceptional talent can break through the barrier to enlightenment. Even if it's not the right time and someone has already attained enlightenment and become an emperor, one can still achieve enlightenment in a different way.

However, if one's natural talent is not strong enough, even if one cultivates to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor early on, and the timing is right, one will still have no chance to become an Emperor.

The universe was bustling with activity as countless geniuses and powerful figures prepared for the upcoming golden age, and the Boundless Holy Court was no exception.

Celestial soldiers were dispatched to various ancient life-bearing planets and cradles of life via the five-colored altar to recruit unparalleled geniuses...
