Watch all things in the world, the great eras shift, the oceans surge across the lands, and the rise of overlords reflects through the heavens.
Time passes, years change, mulberry fields turn to seas, and all is swept along in the eternal stream.
In the Universe Saha, rise and fall come in turn, all things wither and die.
We open a path for future generations, pierce through sky and space, and strike down the final enemy.
A low, hoarse voice-over laced with sorrow echoed between the transitions on screen.
It carried unyielding resolve, a refusal to fear death, but also the loneliness of burying an entire age, and the longing gaze toward a world beyond.
If any come after, let them witness what we saw and heard. Our last experience is woven into the fabric of the universe, engraved in mountains and rivers, surrounded by endless ruins. Each mark is a chapter, carved for eternity.
This was a plateau—shrouded in dense mist, the world was dim and desolate. The sky was bleak, crows cried through the silence, and a strange, ominous aura filled the air. Since the twenty-eighth month of the infinite age, the frozen soil had been cursed by unknown powers, a place of lifeless stillness and icy oppression.
At the plateau's edge, rotting creatures wandered stiffly and soullessly. Occasionally, strange figures emerged silently from within. The entire region was endless—so vast, even if a Great Thousand World collapsed into it, it could not fill a corner. Not even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor could reach its depths.
In the heart of this land hung an immortal corpse, its ages long past. Wind whistled through its hollows, letting out a bone-chilling wail. This was the body of a Lu Jin-level creature—once godlike, now nothing but a tragic remnant.
This was the Earth—cursed, eerie, and without a trace of vitality or light. Even an Immortal Emperor descending here would face certain death. Time's great river trembled and fractured when it passed this place.
Then it came—kick, kick!—a sound echoed deep within the plateau, a primal syllable rising up suddenly. Obscure, ancient, toxic, it was a whisper of something divine and deadly.
This was the ancestral land—home of the strange progenitors.
These ancestors were beings far beyond Immortal Emperors, sovereigns of the heavens and the unknown.
With a flick of their fingers, they could bury an age. With a step, they could crush an Immortal Emperor.
They were the source of all that was strange.
Suddenly, the ancestral land cracked apart. Figures emerged one by one—some shriveled like dry wood, others drenched in dark blood. Tattered robes clung to their grotesque forms. Like forgotten specters of dead epochs, they awakened from slumber.
The ominous source had awakened. Several ancestors were born at once.
The heavens and earth trembled. The plateau roared and threatened to collapse. The infinite laws of the universe became divine chains, only to explode into fragments. Space-time itself destabilized.
Their eyes were empty, ash-grey, or bleeding. When they looked into the void, all life withered, and dark worlds turned to dust.
Across the dark realms, creatures of all kinds trembled. Without a word, they knelt, kowtowed, and prostrated.
Even in other universes, they bowed out of sheer instinct.
Dark ancestor-level beings fell to the ground and dared not rise.
In the deepest part of Eland, separated by ancient histories and endless starlight, a region existed that few had ever reached.
Even Immortal Emperors of the strange clans did not dare set foot there. Instead, they bowed and listened solemnly to the words from within.
"The ancestor has awakened..." a dark Immortal Emperor whispered.
Immortal Emperor—such a realm! In the Nine Heavens, it was the Immortal Emperor's body that first created the source of all darkness.
But this one—this Dark Immortal Emperor—had reached the end of the road, the final stage of the Immortal Emperor path.
Once, even Shen Lian had stopped at this limit, until the All Heavens Gold List appeared and allowed him to collect universal law fragments to surpass it.
Without that chance, Shen Lian would still be stuck at the Great Emperor level.
Even such beings now knelt and trembled before the strange ancestor.
From this alone, it was clear—this strange progenitor was beyond all comprehension.
"Variable..."
Atop the ancestral land, five towering figures stood. They seemed to have been there since the dawn of time, gazing down on all creation.
They were the Five Ancestors.
When the Five Ancestors emerged, the skies changed and the laws of the universe cried out.
"Since the variable has appeared, it must be erased," one ancestor said calmly.
His voice carried no power, but it tore through countless universes, making all dark creatures quake in terror.
Variable?
What was this variable that prompted all the ancestors to rise?
A strange creature, sensing something, looked up in horror—
At the end of the plateau, where the Five Ancestors stood, another figure appeared.
Another Ancestor!
Six Ancestors!
The hearts of all strange beings trembled wildly.
Even the dark Immortal Emperor at the end of the 633rd road was stunned.
There really were six ancestors!
The rumors were true!
But it didn't end there.
Ominous black dust rose.
From the plateau's far edge, a seventh figure appeared.
"The seventh ancestor?!" cried a trembling Lu Jin-level Immortal Emperor.
There was indeed a Seventh Ancestor!
Countless strange creatures were paralyzed with fear.
In disbelief, they realized a seventh had been hidden all this time.
And still, it was not over.
Three more colossal, indescribable figures stepped forth from the cracked earth.
Ten. Ten Great Ancestors!
In the ancestral land—ten ancestral beings had awakened!
Never before seen, never again to appear.
The Ten Ancestors had returned to the world!
What kind of variable could cause such a catastrophe?
