Chapter 990: The loser on the road to transcendence was once a person who amazed an era
"Senior, what does this mean?"
Zhong Changsheng was puzzled.
The term "alternative transcendence" confused him.
Yu Di said: "For countless epochs, countless cultivators have begun to seek the path to transcendence after reaching the peak of their epoch."
"I am no exception."
"Because of the change of eras, the five decays of heavenly beings, in the vast universe, within the myriad worlds, only one in a hundred thousand can survive."
"Even if you are the Taoist master of the Clouds, there is a risk of falling."
Zhong Changsheng nodded.
He had already known about these things from Daozu of Samsara and Long Che.
For all living creatures in the heavens, an era of the universe is an extremely long and distant period of time, so long that it is not an exaggeration to call it eternity.
Countless living beings are in the cycle of reincarnation, and even if they go through thousands of lifetimes, they cannot reach the end of the era.
The life of a mortal is only a few decades. Even if one is reincarnated ten thousand times, to the Taoist Nine Heavens, it is just a blink of an eye.
However, even a time that is so long that it is almost eternal will eventually have an end.
At a certain point in time, the entire universe and all the worlds will return to silence.
The cycle of reincarnation collapses, space shatters, and everything returns to nothingness.
Even the almighty law of heaven will come to an end one day.
When that day comes, even the Taoist Ancestor, whose spirit and soul are entrusted to the Way of Heaven and coexist with the heavens and the universe, will not be able to escape the fate of the Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man.
Those who are luckier will survive the end of the era and when a new era is born and the new rules of the universe are restarted, they will lose their position as Taoist ancestors and their cultivation will drop sharply.
Even if he is not killed, he will definitely not be able to survive the five signs of decay of the celestial beings in the second era.
In other words, if one does not transcend, under normal circumstances, even a Daozu-level existence can only live for two epochs at most.
After two epochs, the second of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man will come, and death is certain.
Below the Dao Ancestor, the number of people who can survive the first era is even less than one in a hundred thousand.
"I am one of the very few who have survived to the third era among the endless eras."
Zhong Changsheng took a breath of cold air when he heard this.
If what he said was true, then this was indeed shocking news.
In the vast universe, since the birth of the first era, countless eras have passed until now.
There are only a few people who can survive two eras.
Logically speaking, even if the Feather Saint in front of him was a Taoist ancestor who sat high above the clouds two epochs ago and had experienced the Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man twice, he should have fallen.
Even if it had not fallen, its strength would have been greatly reduced.
However, this is not the case.
The Feather Saint in front of him not only survived, but was also one of the strongest people in this era.
His own alternative and transcendent state is probably beyond the reach of even the Daozu of Time and the Daozu of Space.
Such a mysterious and powerful existence immediately aroused Zhong Changsheng's curiosity.
After all, if Yu Sheng could reveal some of his experiences, perhaps his future path to transcendence would be more likely to succeed.
"Senior, can you tell me a little about what happened back then?"
"Haha, of course."
Yu Sheng gave a bitter smile, as if he was thinking of some unpleasant past events, and his expression became somewhat distant and solemn.
"My experience is roughly the same as that of the Karma Dao Ancestor who died in this era."
"As the most gifted being in the universe two epochs ago, I, Hongyu, took less than 30,000 years to ascend from a mortal in the lower realms to the position of a saint among the heavens."
"The saints of the heavens in the past are equivalent to the Dao ancestors of today. They are in harmony with the way of heaven and have a transcendent status among the heavens and myriad worlds."
Zhong Changsheng nodded.
The image of his good brother immediately emerged in his mind.
Long Che, the Great Zhou Emperor, was also an extremely talented person. He only took him 20,000 years to cultivate to the Dao Realm. There would be no problem for him to reach the Dao Ancestor within 30,000 years!
If he himself had not been burdened with the fruit of cause and effect, Zhong Changsheng would not have dared to imagine that there really existed such a peerless and evil person in the universe.
In terms of talent, this Yu Emperor is clearly on the same level as the Great Zhou Tian Emperor.
Zhong Changsheng was not surprised at all that such a person could achieve such an alternative and transcendental state.
If you're a little luckier, it's even possible to transcend directly.
Obviously, the Feather Emperor in front of him was only an alternative kind of transcendence, not a direct transcendence. In all likelihood, he was just like the former Dao Ancestor of Karma, and had bad luck.
"With my talent and hard work, I could have transcended the heavens and lived forever without any hindrances."
"What a pity that I was born too late!"
"In the past, our party was fifty-eight thousand years old, and that era has come to an end."
Having said this, Yu Di's eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness.
"Five thousand!"
"Just give me another five thousand years!"
"If the Five Decays of the Celestial Beings had come five thousand years later, I would have been able to break free of the shackles and transcend the heavens!"
Zhong Changsheng immediately understood what had happened.
This Feather Emperor is indeed a man of extraordinary talent.
If he had been born in the early or middle period of the era, or even just five or ten thousand years earlier, he would have surely achieved transcendence.
Unfortunately, I was unlucky and was born at the end of the era.
Fifty-eight thousand years may seem like a long time, but looking at the current era, even in the nine states of the lower world, there are some immortal monsters who have lived for tens of thousands of years.
Among the warriors at the Human Extreme Realm, there are many who have lived for seventy to eighty thousand years.
For a Daozu-level being, he only lived for 58,000 years before he suffered the Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man at the end of the era. Even Zhong Changsheng didn't know what to say after hearing this.
This is equivalent to a 99-year-old grandfather winning the Mark Six lottery, but he has the life to get the money but not the life to spend it.
You could say he was unlucky, but his extraordinary talent dominated an entire era and he was the only super genius with a transcendent appearance.
It can be said that he was lucky, but was born at the wrong time. He was only 56,000 years old when his era came to an end.
"Under the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man, the era collapsed, and I was also severely damaged."
"After sleeping for many years, when I woke up, I found myself in Guixu."
Zhong Changsheng nodded.
He was not surprised by this.
When this era comes to an end, it will also collapse, and at that time, it will also become a part of Guixu.
All living beings in this universe, if they are still alive after experiencing the five signs of decay of heaven and man, will also awaken in Guixu.
"I don't know."
"Since you have already merged with the Heavenly Dao, your true spirit has merged with the Heavenly Dao of the previous era and can no longer be separated. How can you be able to transcend in another way?"
Zhong Changsheng's question hit the nail on the head.
Such rumors have always existed among the high-level officials in the heavens and all realms.
Only those living beings born within this era have the hope of reaching a state of transcendence.
