The Prerequisites for Transcendence
Rumor had it that the Lightning Emperor's Xiao Family was the race with the deepest foundations. Many peak-level clans had scoffed at this rumor, but now they believed it.
The Terminators were primordial beasts.
The only prerequisites for transcendence were the Master of the Stars.
None of their clans had even heard of the things Xiao Ting had just told them.
"Emperor."
Xiao Hu buried his head in the ground and clenched his fists. Why was it like this? Why had the old Emperor become like this?
He'd called the demons and yao brothers, and he'd revealed all of the Xiao Family's secrets.
This was information not even the God Emperor had shared with them. Why did he have to share it with them?
Xiao Hu had long since fallen apart. They were all absorbed in what Xiao Ting had just told them.
"Brother Xiao, is the Master of the Stars you speak of the Emperor Star?" asked Kui Lin.
"That's right!"
Xiao Ting nodded. "According to legend, the Emperor Star of every era selects a Master, and the Master of the Stars is the person most likely to succeed in bringing this era to the next. When the First Era was on the verge of destruction, it was the Master of the Emperor Star who helped them transcend, creating the Outside. "
"Then the Second Era …."
"In truth, the Second Era transcended as well, but they didn't succeed." Xiao Ting narrowed his eyes. "The Dragon God's nine sons, Bi 'an, Jianye, the head of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, and you, Kui Lin, didn't you all survive the Second Era?"
Kui Lin's gaze darkened, and he looked at Xiao Ting solemnly.
No one knew about this. They'd all survived the Second Era, and they'd only appeared in the middle of the Third Era.
"Some people survived, and that counts as success. Not all of you survived because your era's Master of the Stars was forced to become a star in order to seal the Demon Emperor. That's why a small number of you survived, isn't that right? "
In response to Xiao Ting's words, Kui Lin's expression shifted for a long while, then he smiled.
"Brother Xiao, you've hidden your strength far better than I imagined! But we're all in the same boat. We're all trying to transcend this era. Since you've said it, I won't hide it any longer. I admit that I'm indeed from the Second Era. "
With Kui Lin's confirmation, the news could be considered true.
The others stared at Kui Lin in a daze. They'd never imagined that someone from the Second Era would exist in this era.
Xiao Hu did the same. Gradually, he no longer resented Xiao Ting for revealing everything. Instead, he lay quietly on the ground and listened carefully.
"Since Brother Xiao knows so much, then does Brother Xiao know who this era's Master of Stars is …"
"It's me!"
An arrogant chuckle suddenly sounded in the cave. Everyone looked towards the entrance of the cave and found that the cloaked man had appeared in front of them without them noticing.
He slowly walked towards the crowd, then took off the hood of his cloak, revealing a sunny face.
"I … am this era's Master of Stars!"
…
Compared to his previous unyielding attitude, Han Nan almost knelt on the ground after revealing everything.
Ye Zichen stared blankly ahead. He found it hard to digest their conversation just now.
The Star Lord was dead.
The Outer Realm was in danger.
The son of the Star Lord received a prophecy from the deceased Star Lord that he could save the Outer Realms from disaster.
Am I the savior of the world?
Ye Zichen asked himself.
He absolutely wasn't.
He'd done everything he could to increase his strength, but in truth, all he wanted was to return to the Modern Realm with the people he loved.
That's what he'd always thought, but now he knew that this era was coming to an end.
He naturally didn't want to return to the Modern Realm, only to die shortly after his era ended.
He'd watched helplessly as the primordial beasts devoured his brothers, friends, lovers, and loved ones. He naturally didn't want to die either.
"What should I do?" Ye Zichen furrowed his brows.
"You agree?" Han Nan's eyes lit up.
When he saw Han Nan's excitement, Ye Zichen couldn't bear to discourage him, but he also didn't want to give him too much hope.
"If I can help you, I'll do my best. But don't get your hopes up. Whether or not I can fix this era is another matter. If I help you …. Never mind, just tell me what I should do. "
"Transcend!" said Han Nan in a low voice.
Ye Zichen froze.
"So long as you break through to the level of ruler and transcend, your era will transcend the Laws. The power of transcendence is beyond imagination. So long as you don't die …. The primordial beasts can't affect your era in the slightest, "said Han Nan solemnly.
"....."
What the hell was this guy talking about?
Transcend?
Did he even need to say that?
Ye Zichen naturally knew the power of transcendence was unimaginable. That was a level above rulers. How could it not be fierce?
What he wanted to know was how to transcend!
Transcendence was no easy feat. Just look at the Upper Three Realms. Peak rulers were everywhere, but no one had transcended after so many years.
Even if he was the Emperor Star, he couldn't just transcend just because he wanted to!
But Han Nan and the others probably didn't know what to do either. If they did, they wouldn't need him.
It seemed he'd have to rely on his own wits and slowly figure things out ….
"We can help you transcend," Han Nan spoke up at that moment.
The room instantly fell incomparably silent. In such a secluded environment, even the sound of breathing was ear-piercing.
Ye Zichen glared at Han Nan. "You know how to transcend?"
Han Nan nodded.
Ye Zichen was speechless.
"Then why did you come looking for me? If you know how to transcend, hurry up and find someone with a higher cultivation. I'm just a sky supreme. Who knows how long it'll take for me to transcend? My era is about to end, and your era won't last much longer either. Am I supposed to cultivate slowly? By the time I reach that level, I'll have destroyed the Fourth Era long ago! "
"They can't!" Han Nan shook his head. "Your Yao, Demon, and God Emperors are all peak rulers. Who knows how long they've been stuck at that level? Given their talents, they'd have taken that step long ago. But have you seen any of them transcend? "
"There's a prerequisite for transcendence?" Ye Zichen furrowed his brows.
Han Nan nodded. "That's right. The prerequisite is celestial fate, and it's the Emperor Star's celestial fate."
"Isn't Zhou Wu also good? He has celestial fate, and he's the closest to transcending. So long as you get in touch with him, given his personality, he'll be more than happy to work with you. When the time comes, you can use whatever conditions you want to restrict him …. Oh right, once he transcends, he'll no longer be restricted. Could it be that you don't want to talk to him because you think his character isn't good enough? "Ye Zichen arched his brows.
"That's one of them."
Han Nan nodded noncommittally. "But there's another thing …."
"Transcendence requires celestial fate chosen by the Emperor Star. He stole the celestial fate of the Five Elements and thought he could take that final step, but alas …."
