Finally, the Dao Lord Palace was completed on the eve of the Nirvana Tribulation. Countless living beings in the Great Ruins Heaven were looking up at the palace.
The most powerful existence of the Primordial Dao Era had spent 2.8 billion years to create this treasure. It was now the last hope of the Primordial Dao Era, but only a few hundred people could enter it to avoid this terrifying tribulation.
If one more person was added, no one could guarantee that the Dao Lord Palace could reach the end of time and space.
Who was qualified to enter the palace?
Countless hopeful gazes fell on the palace, and the atmosphere was heavy.
The Celestial Thearch and Heavenly Venerables had to enter the palace because only they had the mighty power to send the Dao Lord Palace to the end of time and space, away from the Nirvana Tribulation.
As a result, only 98 spots were left.
Ninety-eight survivors, billions of living beings.
Moreover, these 98 spots had nothing to do with billions of living beings. Even the Celestial Thearch and Heavenly Venerables needed help to activate this unprecedented magic treasure to ensure that the Dao Lord Palace could transcend time and space. Therefore, it was best for Dao Lords to enter the palace!
How could all living beings and other gods compete with Dao Lords? Moreover, they could not compete with Dao Lords in terms of martial strength, not even Heavenly Monarchs.
Moreover, there were 300 Dao Lords in the Primordial Dao Era, and not all of them could enter the Dao Lord Palace. Most of them had to stay and endure the great tribulation.
Heavenly Venerables Gongye Qian no longer had his previous cynicism. His gaze swept across the Dao Lords, and his voice was hoarse and heavy. "Fellow Daoists, who is willing to stay?"
There was dead silence.
Suddenly, Dao Lord Grand Luo laughed and broke the silence. "I want to stay and witness this catastrophe. Entering the Dao Lord Palace means bearing the responsibility of advancing to the end of the Great Dao. I can't bear the heavy burden of resurrecting all living beings and restoring the Primordial Dao, so I chose an easier task. Since there are still restricted areas to be opened, let me do it. Who else wants to accompany me? "
Dao Lord Mystical stepped forward and said with a smile, "Let the Celestial Thearch and Heavenly Venerables carry the heavy burden. I'll also choose an easier task. I'll die in the restricted area, but my soul won't be destroyed and I'll have a chance to make a comeback. Old Monster Tianqu, what about you guys? "
"Since you two old fellows have chosen to stay, how can I be an exception?" Dao Lord Tianqu smiled and walked forward.
"Me too!"
"I've lived long enough. I've seen everything, but I've never seen the Nirvana Calamity. I want to stay and see this spectacular scene! Don't even think about snatching it from me. I'll fight whoever tries to snatch it from me! "
"My aptitude is dull, and I know that I cannot reach the end of the Great Dao. So, I will live on and pursue the end of the Great Dao. I will leave it to the younger generation."
…
One Daolord after another stepped forward. Soon, more than two hundred Daolords had voluntarily given up, leaving behind just seventy-plus Daolords. All of them were young Daolords with incredible talent and incredible potential.
Jiang Nan shook his head gently. Twenty of the most powerful Daolords leapt out from the ranks of the Daolords who had given up. He said, "Without your assistance, there's no way we'll be able to send the Daolord Palace to the ends of time and space. Fellow Daoists, please accompany us."
In this way, there were only three spots left.
"Yuan Qing …." Gongye Qian suddenly cried out.
A female Daolord silently appeared, standing amongst the Daolords who had volunteered to stay behind. She stared at him with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Yuan Qing, you enter the Dao Lord Hall as well!" Gongye Qian said with a hoarse voice.
Daoist Mother Yuan Qing remained silent. Gongye Qian grew anxious. He grabbed her arm and dragged her into the Dao Lord Hall.
"Your Imperial Majesty, there are only three spots left. There's no need to choose anymore!"
Daolord Grand Net said in a deep voice, "Your Imperial Majesty, you should leave a few spots for Her Imperial Majesty and your children."
Jiang Nan looked at Lady Qionghua and the women who had married him. His harem was huge, and he had left behind many love debts through his many romantic encounters. His feelings towards each and every one of his women were so deep and sincere that it was hard to tell who he loved more. However, there were only seven spots left. He had to make a choice.
Only seven people could follow him. Moreover, his descendants were from an incomparably huge clan. At this moment, all of them were looking at him.
Jiang Nan's gaze swept past the familiar faces. He felt as if his voice had become incomparably cold, "My concubines, my descendants, and those who have the aptitude to become Daolords can enter the Dao Lord Hall. The rest, stay behind. "
He raised his finger and moved it away from the faces of his beloved women. Then, he pointed at one of them. His heart felt like it was about to shatter.
He pointed at the Heavenly Concubine. His finger moved to Lady Qionghua. He seemed to pause for a moment before continuing.
Lady Qionghua was stunned. Jiang Nan's face was expressionless. He moved his finger away from the faces of his children. With every inch he moved, his heart ached even more.
His hair gradually turned white. When he moved his finger, it felt like time was flowing at the tip of his finger, causing him to age unknowingly.
Finally, Jiang Nan pointed at a descendant who had the aptitude to become a Daolord.
"That's it."
He heard himself saying, "We should be on our way."
"Your Imperial Majesty, aren't you going to bring your daughter?" Lady Qionghua said with a trembling voice. She pulled Jiang Aiqiong out from the crowd.
Jiang Nan's eyes were cold. He shook his head slightly.
"Bring her, Your Imperial Majesty!"
Lady Qionghua said with a trembling voice, "Bring her. She is our daughter! Give my spot to her … Yes, Aiqiong will replace me. I will stay behind! In the future, Your Imperial Majesty will think of me when you see Aiqiong … "
The Dao Monarch Palace was finally about to set sail. Lady Qionghua stood outside the palace, smiling as she watched Jiang Aiqiong follow Jiang Nan into the palace. When a Dao Monarch entered the palace, he saw a Divine Mulberry Tree sapling swaying on the ground in front of the palace. He bowed and picked up the sapling along with the soil. He sniffed the soil and walked into the palace.
Bang —
The doors of the Dao Monarch Palace closed. The palace flew up and flew towards the center of the Primordial Dao Universe.
The Great Ruins Heaven moved along with it. Under the control of many Dao Monarchs, it flew towards the center of the Primordial Dao Universe. There, the Dao Monarch Palace rumbled. It pierced through time and space, carrying the last hope of the Primordial Dao Era. It flew towards the future, towards the end of time and space, a place where there was no Nirvana Tribulation.
Time flowed, and the future was unknown. Therefore, the Dao Monarch Palace could not stop at any future time. It could only stop at the end of time and space.
Because time and space stopped there, only the last Nirvana Tribulation was left. It was no longer unknown, so the Dao Monarch Palace could stop.
The moment the palace rushed into the future time, everyone in the palace sensed the outbreak of a destructive tribulation. The Primordial Dao Era was officially destroyed.
Finally, the Dao Monarch Palace flew to the end of time and space. It paused slightly and landed in the last Nirvana Tribulation in the future.
Everyone opened the palace doors and looked towards the path the Dao Monarch Palace came from. They saw that the Primordial Dao Era was close at hand. Time was happening in front of the Dao Monarch Palace. It had become an established fact, a fact that could not be changed.
In front of them, the Primordial Dao Era was being destroyed. Their loved ones, their wives, their children, their grandchildren, their comrades, and their fellow Daoists died in this great tribulation, and they were powerless to do anything about it.
Everything in the Primordial Dao Era was being destroyed. The remaining Dao Monarchs were united, using their Great Daos to form an endless forbidden zone at the location where the Dao Monarch Palace had left. They were trying to protect the few living beings left in the Primordial Dao Era!
They failed. The living beings protected in the forbidden zone died one after another. No one was able to survive. In the end, even the Dao Monarchs died in the tribulation. Some powerful Dao Monarchs hid their souls in the deepest parts of the forbidden zone.
Jiang Nan, Gongye Qian, and the other Dao Monarchs joined forces and activated the Dao Monarch Palace to form a strange force field. It protected their souls and made them indestructible.
There was no one left alive in that forbidden zone. Outside, the Nirvana Heavenly Fire burned fiercely.
And here, it was a forbidden zone with no one.
No one. No one. No one.
"Mother …" Jiang Aiqiong said softly.
"The end of the Great Dao …"
In the Dao Monarch Palace, someone said softly, "We must cultivate to the end of the Great Dao! Only the end of the Great Dao can reverse time, ignore the Nirvana Tribulation, and save them before the Nirvana Tribulation arrives … "
No one knew if the existence at the end of the Great Dao could reverse time or interfere with what had already happened. But these words ignited the fire of hope in everyone.
Slowly, time continued to move forward. Finally, the Nirvana Heavenly Fire erupted, giving birth to a new era, the Yuanqi Era.
Within the Dao Monarch Palace, some Daolords died in meditation because they were so engrossed in their pursuit of the end of the Great Dao. Some became Protocosmic spirit-treasures, while others became Protocosmic magic treasures. The Yuanqi Era was an illustrious era. Many powerful Daolords were born, but it couldn't compare to the Primal Era.
Jiang Nan and Gongye Qian went out to guide the most powerful Daolords into the Dao Monarch Palace, inviting them to study the end of the Great Dao together. Even so, the number of Daolords in the Dao Monarch Palace continued to slowly dwindle.
Jiang Aiqiong didn't have the talent to become a Daolord, and so she went out to the Yuanqi Era as well. She wanted to make up for her shortcomings through tempering and become a Daolord. She didn't return, and she died in the Yuanqi Era.
Jiang Nan seemed to be much more desolate, becoming taciturn.
Another person died in meditation. It was Daolord Yellow Daolord, second only to Jiang Nan and Gongye Qian. He had become a Protocosmic spirit-treasure.
Their obsession with the end of the Great Dao made them forget the dangers of advancing to the end of the Great Dao. One wrong step and they would die in meditation.
At the end of the Yuanqi Era, there were only about thirty Daolords who were born in the Primal Dao Era. The descendant that Jiang Nan chose with the talent to become a Daolord also died in meditation.
"Heavenly Consort, I want to go out with Mister Gongye." Jiang Nan said to the Heavenly Consort with a rare smile on his face.
He hadn't smiled for billions of years.
On the other side, Gongye Qian also smiled at Daoist Mother Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, I want to go out with Celestial Emperor."
Dao Paragon Heavenly Consort looked at Jiang Nan, and her eyes trembled as if she saw something. After a long time, she tidied Jiang Nan's clothes and touched his white hair. She said softly, "When will you be back?"
"When will you be back? I don't know … "
Jiang Nan looked at Gongye Qian. Gongye Qian also bid farewell to Daoist Mother Yuanqing and the two walked out of the hall.
Heavenly Consort chased after them and called out, "I'll wait for you here. You must come back!"
Jiang Nan waved his hand and left with Gongye Qian. He smiled and said, "I'll be back!"
They walked into the Nirvana Heavenly Fire after the destruction of the Yuanqi Era. They walked in the Nirvana Heavenly Fire for a long time before coming to a stop.
"Dijiang, you're thinking the same thing as me, right?"
Gongye Qian was silent for a moment before he said bitterly, "Even though we've always been fighting against each other, we've never exhausted all our power to kill each other. Even though we've developed each other's potentials, our potentials haven't reached the limit yet. "
Jiang Nan nodded and said, "If we fight to the death, we might be able to reach the end of the Great Dao. It's just that in this battle, there's a possibility that one of us will die, completely perish … "
"You're my best friend," the two said in unison.
Gongye Qian laughed like he was crying. He wiped away his tears and said, "It's enough to have one good friend in life! Dijiang, Jiang Taixu, make your move! Let's do our best in this final battle to help each other set foot on the end of the Great Dao and change all the tragedies that have happened! To subvert the Nirvana Calamity and reappear the era of Yuandao! "
"Please!" He was furious and his aura erupted, shaking the Nirvana Heavenly Fire in the Nirvana Heavenly Fire.
Jiang Nan looked at him silently and shook his head, saying, "There's no need for this, Immortal Elder. I've already woken up, but you're still in your dream. There's no need for us to fight in your dream. Immortal Elder, it's time for you to wake up. "
Gongye Qian was slightly startled. His aura became more violent and he shouted, "Jiang Taixu, Dijiang, what nonsense are you talking about? Come! Let's fight, let's have a good fight! Whether you kill me or I kill you, the survivor will have a chance to advance to the end of the Great Dao! "
