It was as if he were about to disintegrate, and the divine power that filled his body slowly dissipated into the air.
"Wh-what's going on …."
He was a little flustered, but he realized that he couldn't even do the simplest thing of turning over.
Jackdaw, who'd woken up as well, saw this scene and a trace of sadness flashed through her eyes. She was extremely sensitive to the aura of death. How could she not understand what was happening?
Jian Wushuang and the Reverend descended to the ground and slowly walked over to him.
Leaning against the coffin, half of the young cultivator's body had already turned into specks of white light and dissipated.
"Have I died long ago?" He raised his head with some difficulty and looked at the god-like man in front of him.
Jian Wushuang's eyes dimmed, and he slowly nodded.
Long ago, when they'd first met, Jian Wushuang had already sensed that this young cultivator didn't have the slightest hint of a living being.
Perhaps it was because of the Qilin Clay Idol that he'd retained his consciousness and existed in a dead body until now.
Now that the Qilin Clay Idol had been sealed away by Jian Wushuang, the source of power that maintained his body had naturally disappeared as well.
After calming down from his initial fright, the young cultivator relaxed. "So I've been like them for a long time. I thought I was the only survivor. But that's fine. After hundreds of thousands of years of boredom, it's about time I had a good sleep."
After saying this, the young cultivator's body finally turned into a clump of white light.
Jian Wushuang reached out and grasped the white light, kneading it into a resplendent Star that adorned the heavens.
"Let's go. We'll leave everything here to future generations." Jian Wushuang smiled. Finally, the three of them disappeared without a trace.
Originally, they'd planned to complete the mission in a million years, but they'd completed it eight hundred thousand years ahead of schedule. Jian Wushuang and the others returned to Cloudsky Palace.
Thus, at the end of the last hundred thousand years, Jian Wushuang and the Reverend finally returned to Cloudsky Palace.
As for the taciturn Lady Jackdaw, who'd treated Jian Wushuang as her everything, she'd already died of old age on a certain day over two hundred thousand years ago.
For high-level cultivators, two hundred thousand years was nothing more than a period of secluded cultivation. However, in the boundless universe, where divine power was thin and weak in the mortal world, where peddlers and servants who couldn't cultivate, the slightest bit of enlightenment were the foundation of cultivation.
To Lady Jackdaw, two hundred thousand years was the longest and most exciting of all her life.
Looking at the huge palace that was as peaceful as it had been for hundreds of thousands of years, Jian Wushuang smiled and entered Yunxiao Palace.
The two dragon descendants guarding outside the Cloud Palace twitched their noses and went back to sleep.
Jian Wushuang's return did not cause much commotion because there were not many people left in Cloud Palace.
Lan Lan, the Tyrant, and the others had been guarding the Ancient Star Path. They rarely returned to Cloudsky Palace. Blood Wave Supreme led more than a hundred thousand Supremes to guard the battlefield outside. The Nine Tribulations King, who'd successfully broken through to the Half-Ancestor realm, guarded the Heavenly Gate.
As for the dragons and phoenixes, they'd already returned to their respective star domains, leaving only a hundred or so descendants to guard Cloudsky Palace.
Time passed, and the new moon replaced spring.
In the blink of an eye, another five hundred thousand years had passed.
Above the clouds, Jian Wushuang excitedly held a jade fishing rod and fished in the sea of clouds.
Beside him were the Reverend, Chu Zhi, and of course, Feng Qi.
Divine power transformed into small fish that tossed and turned in the sea of clouds. Every time they were about to be hooked, Jian Wushuang would raise the fishing rod and not let the fish touch him. He repeated this over and over again, never tiring of it.
"Jian Wushuang, aren't you bored? You've been fishing with us for more than a hundred thousand years, but you haven't caught a single fish," Feng Qi said angrily. Her forehead was full of black lines.
"Fishing is something that requires a lot of patience and stamina. It's only been a hundred thousand years, and you want to catch a fish? Let's fish for another hundred thousand years," Jian Wushuang said seriously.
Feng Qi shook her head slightly and stopped complaining. She also fished like a professional.
Fishing in the sea of clouds for five hundred thousand years was the most unrestrained time for everyone.
No one knew what would happen next. Even Jian Wushuang, who stood at the top of the universe, didn't know.
In the following time, Blood Wave Supreme and the others guarding the Extraterritorial Battlefield began to return to Cloudsky Palace one after another.
What awaited them was the reopening of the Heavenly Gate for the first time after the Divine Power Universe went through a catastrophe.
Every hundred thousand years, batches of peerless geniuses would emerge from the ancient starry sky path. However, only by going through the Heavenly Gate could they finally ascend to Cloudsky Palace and become Eon God's disciple.
The Heavenly Gate was another path of trial opened by Jian Wushuang after he became an Ancestor God. If one wanted to enter it, they first had to go through the ancient starry sky path's assessment.
Everyone was faintly looking forward to it. What kind of amazing geniuses would be able to obtain the recognition of nearly twenty Invincible Supremes and a Half-Ancestor level super expert?
However, special existences like Jian Wushuang, who had already surpassed the level of geniuses, were no longer within the scope of consideration.
A million years later, on that day, the morning bell rang, and the vast celestial sound resounded throughout the nine heavens and ten lands.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. All the big shots gathered at Cloudsky Palace.
Jian Wushuang sat in front of Cloudsky Palace. He was obviously looking forward to something, and he looked into the distance with a smile.
In the vast expanse of clouds, the Nine Tribulations King, who was dressed in snow-white clothes, slowly stepped in front of Cloudsky Palace. Behind him were more than twenty Invincible Supremes.
"Eon God, Nine Tribulations and the others have fortunately not failed." The Nine Tribulations King and the others cupped their hands and said.
Jian Wushuang smiled and waved his hand. "Sorry for the trouble."
Enveloped by the supreme brilliance, the Nine Tribulations King and the others felt the fatigue in their divine bodies dissipate, and they were filled with divine power.
Immediately after, at the end of the square, six slightly immature figures appeared in everyone's eyes.
Facing the supreme true dragons on the pillars on both sides, these six figures did not show the slightest bit of fear. They walked forward steadily.
At the forefront of these six figures was a handsome young man in a green robe with picturesque features.
There was no cowardice in his eyes. There was only calmness.
At the same time, he did not understand why he did not feel the slightest bit of strangeness or fear in front of Cloudsky Palace, which was the most mysterious existence in the entire universe. Instead, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Shaking off the unrealistic thoughts of the alarm clock, the young man in the green robe gradually quickened his pace.
Recalling everything they had experienced in the vast and terrifying Heavenly Gate Road, the other five people simultaneously shivered without leaving a trace. They also quickly stepped forward.
Among all the Supremes present in Cloudsky Palace, not many knew how these people who had passed the Heavenly Gate Road test had experienced it.
However, they knew that to be recognized by the Supremes who had participated in the War of Catastrophe, they were already enough to stand proudly among 99% of the geniuses in the Divine Power Universe.
