Chapter 725: Gathering of this Era

In a garden in Nebula Palace, Seventh Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences arrived one after another. Everyone was somewhat shocked by the scale of this gathering.

“How many Seventh Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences did Realm Ancestor invite this time?”

“Could Realm Ancestor have invited everyone?”

“Mysteries Lord has a grudge with Realm Ancestor, yet he’s here?”

The seats in the garden seemed to be randomly arranged. There were seats here and there, a total of 108 seats. In reality, they were filled with profundities. After the Seventh Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences arrived, they took their seats one by one.

The half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences very consciously chose seats at the periphery. Everyone chatted casually, and the atmosphere was rather harmonious. They were all true peak existences in the River of Spacetime. It was rare for them to have such a huge gathering.

Everyone was in a good mood.

“Eastcalm.”

“Brother Eastcalm.”

“City Lord Eastcalm.” When Meng Chuan arrived, many half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences and Seventh Tribulation Eminences took the initiative to chat with him. After all, they believed that Meng Chuan would be an influential figure in the River of Spacetime in the future. At the very least, he would be comparable to Origin Realm Chieftain.

Meng Chuan saw Hall Lord White Avian, Lord of Shadowfiend, and Hall Lord Azure Dragon. Their gazes met, and Meng Chuan immediately walked over and sat close to them.

“Have a seat.” Hall Lord White Avian gestured for Meng Chuan to sit. He instructed via voice transmission, “Watch and listen more later.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

Something could be read from the distribution of the factions in the seating arrangement.

On White Avian Hall’s side, Hall Lord White Avian, Lord of Shadowfiend, Meng Chuan, Lord of Shadows, Palace Lord Food God, and Lord of the East Abyss were present.

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had arrived early this time. The old farmer-like Celestial Thearch Myriad Star sat there like an old farmer in his orchard. Five other Celestial Thearchs gathered around him, as well as some good friends who were closer to him.

Ancestral Magus King, Palace Lord Medicine, Windthunder Walker, Palace Lady Blood Phoenix, and other top Seventh Tribulation Eminences had also arrived. Ordinary Seventh Tribulation Eminences arrived one after another. Almost everyone was here.

Instead, half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences arrived a little late. They were still gradually arriving.

“That many?”

“From the looks of it, this gathering isn’t ordinary.” The half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences that arrived later felt their hearts tighten when they saw this. It was already impressive to invite a dozen or two of these people to an ordinary gathering. After all, time was very precious at such a realm!

Even if Realm Ancestor’s prestige was high, he wouldn’t casually disturb the cultivation of Seventh Tribulation Eminences. There had to be something important for him to invite so many people.

As Meng Chuan sat there, he realized how special this gathering was.

What does Realm Ancestor want? Meng Chuan was puzzled.

“Hahaha… I’m actually the last to arrive among the Seventh Tribulation Eminences.” Origin Realm Chieftain walked in with a chuckle. He glanced at Celestial Thearch Myriad Star and Hall Lord White Avian before calmly walking to a spot and sitting down. His seat vaguely formed a triangle with Myriad Star Heaven and Hall Lord White Avian.

All the Seventh Tribulation Eminences are here. Meng Chuan, Origin Realm Chieftain, and many other Eminences were shocked.

Seventh Tribulation Eminences had different personalities.

For example, Palace Lord Medicine, Peach Mountain Owner, Guild Master Fiend Eye, and company couldn’t be bothered with what happened in the world. Therefore, it wasn’t easy to invite all Seventh Tribulation Eminences here.

Realm Ancestor was sitting in a corner, chatting with Manor Lord Centaurea. He looked around and wasn’t anxious at all.

After a while, as the Eminences chatted, nearly 90% of the half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences had arrived. Meng Chuan could sense that a storm was brewing.

Huh? Meng Chuan sensed something and watched the white-haired Realm Ancestor stand up.

At that moment, all Seventh Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences looked over. They looked at the person who had convened them—Realm Ancestor!

In the entire River of Spacetime, all the Seventh Tribulation Eminences in this era had gathered. Nearly 90% of them were half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences… With so many of them, they could already decide all the matters in the River of Spacetime.

Just based on Realm Ancestor’s reputation, it’s impossible for all Seventh Tribulation Eminences to arrive. After all, some of them are his enemies. There must be some inside information that I don’t know, thought Meng Chuan.

“Everyone.” After Realm Ancestor stood up, his gaze swept across the Eminences. “I got my friends to help me gather everyone here today because of an extremely important matter.”

Everyone present listened.

“The River of Spacetime is vast; there are countless middle-level worlds,” said Realm Ancestor. “However, there are very few middle-level worlds that have produced Seventh Tribulation Eminences. Since the universe was born, there have only been a million of them.”

Some Seventh Tribulation Eminences present—such as Manor Lord Centaurea, Lord of Li Rainbow, Guild Master Fiend Eye, and company—had solemn expressions.

For example, Origin Realm Chieftain, Lord of Shadows, Meng Chuan, and company—who had cultivated for a shorter period of time—were still somewhat puzzled.

Hall Lord White Avian glanced at the distant Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star continued wearing a smile as he listened to Realm Ancestor.

“A Seventh Tribulation Eminence can increase the heritage of their homeworld and slow down the decline of their world,” said Realm Ancestor. “Therefore, in the entire River of Spacetime, only one or two Seventh Tribulation Eminences’ homeworlds will decline and collapse after tens of thousands of years. But in the past 35,000 years, 132 Seventh Tribulation Eminences’ homeworlds have been destroyed, completely vanishing from the universe.”

“132?”

How is that possible?

“132 in tens of thousands of years? It’s impossible for that to be a normal decline!”

There was an uproar.

Meng Chuan was shocked when he heard that.

“There’s Lanxi Realm, Dark Cauldron Realm, Zhan Cloud Realm…” As Realm Ancestor spoke, he waved his hand. The names of 132 medium-sized worlds appeared in front of him. Given the Eminences present, they were able to verify Realm Ancestor’s words with a simple investigation.

“Furthermore, when these inhabited worlds were destroyed, all the living beings in their worlds—including Supremacies, Imperial Lords, and even Tribulation Eminences—died. No one was found alive,” said Realm Ancestor.

Everyone was silenced!

Everyone present was certain of this.

When a normal world declined, Supremacies, Imperial Lords, and Supremacies were likely capable of surviving.

All living beings in the 132 worlds were wiped out, with no survivors. It was clearly very strange.

“Deer Celestial Realm was destroyed as well?” Fiend Eye’s expression changed slightly when he saw the names of the destroyed worlds. “The first 131 worlds were all declining worlds. They weren’t too far from destruction, but Deer Celestial Realm is a very young inhabited world. It’s the homeworld of a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence, Palace Lord Deer Celestial. It was born a little over a billion years ago.”

“That’s right; it’s a very young world.” Realm Ancestor nodded. “It was still destroyed. None of the living beings, including a Fifth Tribulation Eminence, survived.”

“A Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature that can destroy a middle-level world?”

“What kind of forbidden creature managed to destroy more than 100 medium-sized worlds?”

The people present were all the upper echelons and leaders of the various factions. However, their lifespans were ultimately limited. They were far from comparable to Seventh Tribulation forbidden creatures! Once they died of old age, their homeworld could become a meal for Seventh Tribulation forbidden creatures. They naturally couldn’t allow such matters to continue.

“We have to get rid of this forbidden creature. It being alive spells a calamity for countless worlds.”

“Senior Realm Ancestor, have you found out which Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature it is?”

The half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences couldn’t help but say this. Some Seventh Tribulation Eminences spoke up as well. Instead, Manor Lord Centaurea, Lord of Li Rainbow, and company fell silent.

“I’ve already found the true culprit who destroyed more than 100 middle-level worlds.” Realm Ancestor pointed at Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. “It’s him—Celestial Thearch Myriad Star!”

Everyone fell silent.

All the existences present had different expressions. They either expected it or found it unbelievable. All of them had their own thoughts as they looked at Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.

“Myriad Star, I didn’t wrong you, right?” Realm Ancestor looked at Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
