Chapter 1971: 19: The Secret of Guluo River, Zhao Xing’s Shock! (Part 3)

"Our current development efforts in the Si Yue Desolate Domain are merely an attempt to seize resources and spiritual energy from other lost territories of the Ancient River Region, replenishing the Xuanling Star Domain and delaying its demise."Zhao Xing was taken aback; this was completely different from what he had imagined.

He had always thought the world was vast, the universe was vast, but what Guluo River said was tantamount to an ’end of the world theory.’

Moreover, he had no way to refute it.

Indeed, since the formation of the Desolate Domain is a sign of the Annihilation Period, then no matter where one goes, annihilation will occur.

Zhao Xing looked at the map drawn by Guluo River and couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss.

Each miniature territory, separated by the Deserted Domain, looked like the ’cosmic ocean’ revealing stretches of riverbeds, dividing the territories into ponds of various sizes.

The Xuanling Star Domain is the largest Spirit Pool, and bridging the Si Yue Desolate Domain is like drawing water from another pond to delay death.

This theory has too much evidence, such as why the Desolate Domain has no Tao Display Layer and weak spiritual energy.

Such as why the Black Sky Wilderness doesn’t even have a Tao Display Layer or Dao Ancient Layer.

And why breaking through to the Reincarnation Realm is becoming increasingly difficult, with the God Realm disappearing from history.

This pessimistic theory of cosmic doom will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to cultivators.

Of course, those in the Tao Domain Realm with limited lifespans, and those even lower, might not feel much. After all, they can live this long, so why worry about the world ending in 100 epochs (it might be longer or shorter)?

Does it affect me mining in the factory?

But for those at higher realms, this might be an imminent concern.

The reason Guluo River’s theory isn’t openly propagated is likely to avoid causing panic.

Zhao Xing thought carefully; since the third epoch of the Desolate Domain, the environment has indeed worsened, and later versions even saw the appearance of the Ice River Era.

His failure to break through to the God Realm might not be due to problems in cultivation, but because it was no longer permissible to have new God Realms.

"No, but in later versions, the God Realm appeared more frequently and more powerfully, contradicting Guluo River’s theory..." Zhao Xing suddenly frowned. "No, maybe it’s because the channel opened, and the other spiritual energy territories still have God Realms, fighting over spiritual energy resources? This doesn’t necessarily mean Guluo River’s theory is wrong."

Guluo River quietly waited for Zhao Xing to process his thoughts until he felt Zhao Xing’s emotions had stabilized and then continued, "Just now, did you feel that cultivation and hard work are meaningless?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xing shook his head, "It’s too far away from me, perhaps I’ll never see that day. Even so, I don’t think it’s meaningless; seeking the end of the Great Dao is meaning in itself."

Guluo River looked at Zhao Xing approvingly, "Having this heart, sitting with you to discuss the Dao doesn’t insult my own Dao."

Zhao Xing understood that Guluo River was about to formally elaborate on his cultivation path; perhaps he was about to hear some unheard secrets.

"When the worldview framework of the Self Sect was established, the sages calculated that the world would ultimately be destroyed. Some people were pessimistic, resigned, even underwent drastic changes in character, and began to act recklessly, slaughtering an entire star domain."

"Some still held fast to their beliefs, trying to find a way out for all beings." Guluo River spoke firmly, "My family, the Gai family, has existed since the Five Emperors Era, from that time onwards searching along this path."

"With me, I’ve finally explored a path where light can be seen."

"Namely, the world should have a fifth state aside from primordial, origin, myriad phenomena, and silent extinction."

"That would be the legendary Eternal Realm!"

Eternal Realm? Zhao Xing trembled all over, certain seals deep in memory seemed to produce a loosening.

"After the Five Emperors Era ended, with the help of the Great Emperor, I embarked on a Self Method cultivation path that no one had ever practiced before, namely ’Eternal Realm.’

"I cannot control the aging of the universe, but I can control my Inner World."

"When the Inner World I cultivate accommodates all the budding forms of the Great Dao of the Cosmic Territory, my Inner World might grow strong enough to reach the point of eternal existence, completing a second opening!"

At this moment, Guluo River seemed all aglow, and Zhao Xing recalled his experiences in Guluo River’s Inner World.

Indeed, every plant and life in Guluo River’s Inner World breaks common sense.

He etched his name in the life origin section, he made the tenacious vine of ordinary aptitude grow to Emperor Level, his Life Dao allowing himself to comprehend [Grassman Revival].

Everything proves Guluo River’s Dao is vastly different from others.

At this moment, Zhao Xing finally understood

why Guluo River was known as the strongest demigod.

Because once it becomes a God, theoretically, its Inner World can transform into the ’Eternal Realm,’ a world with eternal existence.

No aging period, no possibility of silent extinction, and the world can be in any phase; similarly, Guluo River would also become an immortal being!

When the Xuanling Star Domain reaches the 100th epoch of the Desolate Domain, all life cannot escape death, but if Guluo River can possess the Eternal Realm, it can gather all the Xuanling Human Clan into its Inner World, avoiding the cosmic collapse catastrophe.

Guluo River is essentially becoming its own universe! No, its intention is to create a new universe, become a Creator God!

"The Extreme Star theory of the Heavenly Time Sect, the Extreme Land theory of the Earth Advantage Sect, none are as bold as the Self Sect’s ’Eternal Realm theory,’" Zhao Xing couldn’t help but sigh.

Emperor Red Star took Guluo River wherever he went, even treating Guluo River as an equal to discuss, and Guluo River could make transactions with Qing Yu Zi, a God Realm being, all of which demonstrates Guluo River’s uniqueness.
