Yin Death Vortex, at the top of the mountain in this world.
Di Tian's words reverberated in the air. As the mountain wind howled, they turned into echoes that filled this world.
The seven figures hovering between illusion and reality were silent. None of them spoke. Once Di Tian finished asking his question, he did not continue asking. Instead, he waited for the seven of them to answer.
He had already waited for far too many years, and he did not mind waiting a little longer. After all, the seven of them had made this decision all those years ago, and each of them had tried it once. However, only he, Di Tian, had succeeded in this aeon.
Time passed. When the sun was about to set in the distance and the brown color of dusk appeared in the sky, one of the seven figures sighed softly.
"Outsiders call us the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors … but only we know that we are not sovereigns, nor are we emperors. We are the ones who did not follow the people of our sects to choose to create the All Spirits Hall.
"They chose to sacrifice themselves to help their descendants, but we chose to help ourselves … How many aeons has it been? There were hundreds of us in the past, but now … they have lost themselves. They have either given up or forgotten their original wishes. They have become existences that are neither humans nor beasts." The soft sigh spread out and broke the silence in this place.
"There's nothing to hesitate about. Since you've surpassed all of us in this aeon, then … there's no harm in giving this life and soul to you!" the rightmost figure said decisively, looking up at Di Tian. "You've already surpassed all of us in this aeon.
"Remember what you promised me. If you succeed, you must resurrect me!"
Di Tian looked at the rightmost figure and nodded solemnly.
"This is the oath the eight of us once swore together. If I succeed, the first thing I will do is resurrect all of you!"
"If that's the case …" The rightmost figure threw his head back and laughed. When he lifted his right hand, he pressed it against the center of his brows without any hesitation. With a bang, his body dissipated and turned into crystalline sparks that charged towards Di Tian. They fused into his body, causing him to tremble. His aura increased exponentially, and he endured the pain that threatened to roar out. He looked at the other six people.
"I really can't accept this, but I have to admit that you have indeed succeeded in this aeon, Di Tian. At the very least, the chances of success will be higher if we choose you … The final fifty years, huh? I'm afraid there are very few people who know about this. After all, we have calculated for a very, very long time and gathered everyone's power to find this heavenly secret." Said one of the six with a laugh. He lifted his right hand and slapped his forehead. His body exploded with a boom, and the same crystalline light was absorbed by Di Tian.
"It's a pity that when we carried out our plan in my aeon, we didn't run into Su Xuan Yi, neither did we run into Su Ming, much less … that laughable Dao Chen who wanted to Possess you due to a stroke of fate."
"Forget it, forget it. There's nothing to be reluctant about in this life. It's only fifty years …"
"If you don't keep your promise, you must remember the oath we made!" Booming sounds echoed in the air. Three of the remaining five struck the center of their brows, and they turned into crystalline light that was instantly absorbed by Di Tian. Di Tian's body trembled even more violently. The strength of his aura continued rising nonstop, as if it had reached a critical point. A terrifying presence spread out from him.
"You will become an Abyss Builder and possess the divine abilities of an Abyss Builder. Di Tian … the current you is even more perfect than the plan we had in the past, but the chances of you succeeding in the end aren't great. You must be careful!" One of the remaining two sighed softly and closed his eyes. His body turned into crystalline light that instantly fused into Di Tian's body. Then, besides Di Tian, there was only one person left at the top of the mountain.
That figure gradually stopped distorting and was no longer indistinct and illusory. Instead, it gained corporeal form and turned into a woman. She was dressed in a palace robe, and her expression was calm. However, when she looked at Di Tian, gentleness appeared in her eyes.
Di Tian was also looking at her. The two of them did not speak. After a long while, the woman sighed softly and spoke slowly.
"For the sake of living, no one can say whether what we did was right or wrong, because there is no right or wrong to begin with … but Di Tian, if you fail, it will be fine, but if you succeed … remember not to make mistakes.
"It doesn't matter whether it's Su Xuan Yi, who you used, Su Ming, who you chose to gain an epiphany, or Old Man Extermination, who has clearly walked ahead of us and chose a path similar to ours in his Expanse Cosmos. It doesn't matter whether they succeed or not … but don't commit crimes. Don't become enemies with them, or else … fate is an unfathomable thing, and I can't see through it.
"It's especially so … for Su Ming. I can't see through him either. When we were in the land of Berserkers, I could see his future, but when he left Divine Essence Star Ocean, his life was filled with fog, a very terrifying fog … It's especially so after he returned from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier. I … don't dare to divine his future.
"I won't be able to help you in the future. Fate is an unfathomable thing. Even if you fuse with your lifeline, it can still change. We … can only respect it. I don't know whether our choice is correct, but this is the only path we can take. Once the woman spoke softly, she closed her eyes, and her body gradually disappeared, turning into a layer of crystalline light. However, that crystalline light was not absorbed by Di Tian's body like the others. Instead, it gathered at the center of Di Tian's brows and turned into … a third eye that looked exactly the same as Su Ming's!
At that moment, Di Tian's entire body trembled. He threw his head back and let out a roar that shook the heavens and earth. As he roared, tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes. No matter how emotionless he was, no matter how cold he was, among these seven people were his senior brothers, his close friends, his master, and … his lover.
From then on, all those who knew of his past would either return to dust or no longer be cultivators, and those who knew of him would never know his real name. They would only know that he was … Di Tian!
'I will definitely succeed. It's impossible for me to fail, because the person I chose to fuse my Life with is Su Ming. All of you have seen Su Ming's current success. Instead of saying that you believe in me, it would be more accurate to say that you believe in him!
'If he succeeds, then I will succeed, because my Life Matrix has already fused with his!' Di Tian's presence gradually disappeared. He lowered his head, and after a long while, when he raised it again, a presence that was incredibly similar to Su Ming's spread out from his body.
'Our Life Matrices have already fused, that's why we can't meet each other. Once we do, our Life Matrices will split, and he will notice it … Su Ming, you must succeed. Once you succeed, only then will we meet … and only then will I Possess you!' A ghastly smile appeared at the corners of Di Tian's lips.

'There's still fifty years left … It's almost time. The time is almost up …' Su Xuan Yi, who had disappeared in the Emperor of Abyss' True World, was sitting in a floating palace in the galaxy. It looked like a huge Feng Shui compass, and it was incredibly strange.
Lei Chen was sitting cross-legged in front of Su Xuan Yi, not moving at all. His body was pierced by countless black needles, and each needle was engraved with countless runes.
Su Xuan Yi stared at Lei Chen, and a kindly expression appeared on his face. When he lifted his hands, he formed a seal, and like a priceless lotus, he refined Lei Chen.
'Lei Chen, my son, bear with it for a few more years, and we will succeed. Old Man Extermination is about to attack, and he will need my help. When I work with him, it will be the moment we rise to power!
'Lei Chen, you only know that your mother died because of me, but you don't know that she did it for you! 'And I will be willing to sacrifice everything for you fifty years later. As long as you succeed, as long as you can make the Abyss Builders reappear in the vast universe in the future, once you open the Abyss Gate, our family will be reunited!
'Don't blame me for making things difficult for Su Ming. Only by passing the test on him will I dare to use it on you, and only by having him nourish the Seed of Life Extermination will we have the confidence … to succeed!'
'It's almost time. There's less than fifty years left …' Determination and madness appeared on Su Xuan Yi's face. As he mumbled, he continued forming seals to refine Lei Chen.
The fifth kiln floated above Lei Chen's head. Flames spread out from it, and they worked together with Su Xuan Yi's seals to start burning him. Lei Chen had his eyes closed in the flames, and he did not move.
…..
Beyond Harmonious Morus Alba's world was the boundless Vast Expanse. There were countless strange lives in it, and the only way for them to become strong was to make the worlds in their bodies slowly become complete until they gave birth to lives in those worlds, and then, a universe was born.
The vast universe seemed to be the origin of all things, and at that moment, all the strange lives in it were trembling. None of them dared to move. All of them prostrated themselves on the ground as if they were prostrating themselves in worship. They simply allowed a huge Feng Shui compass to charge past them, and their bodies were torn to shreds and devoured completely.
The Feng Shui compass shone with a dark, destructive light. The runic symbols that rose and fell shone. Each of them contained an ancient air that seemed to belong to the origin of the vast universe, and they surrounded … the black-robed young man sitting on the Feng Shui compass.
He was dressed in a long black robe and had black hair. He sat there with an aloof expression on his face, and in his right hand was a string of pearls. There were nine of them, and at that moment, six of them were shining …
"I'm almost there …" After a long while, the young man lifted his head and twirled the string of pearls in his right hand. He looked into the distance, and it was as if his gaze could pierce through the vast universe. He saw a Harmonious Morus Alba exuding the aura of death in the distance. Its four wings gradually overlapped with each other, as if it was about to close its wings and die at the final moment of its life.
At the instant he saw Harmonious Morus Alba, the black-robed young man's two fingers froze for a moment before he pinched the seventh pearl. The pearl was originally dull, but at that moment, it started shining rapidly, and the shadow of a crane was revealed within it.
"Seventh Reversed Spirit, you won't be able to escape," the black-robed young man said flatly. Said the black-robed young man coolly. He closed his eyes, and yet, his right hand continued to grip the seventh pearl, not moving at all.
There aren't many monthly votes today. Since there aren't many, then I'll erupt with all my might until the monthly votes increase. I refuse to believe that my eruption won't increase the monthly votes, I refuse to believe it!
I'll continue erupting with all my might tomorrow!
