Chapter 1314: Chapter 978: Supreme Sun Palace

"Fortunately, we ’Western Heavenly Race’ have a long history, unlike those races with shallow roots. We possess life-saving ’Buddha Artifact’ left by the ancestral Buddhas, who prophesied that the starry universe would perish, and only at the very moment of true annihilation could we use the ’Eight-Treasures Buddha Platform.’ Then, this ’Eight-Treasures Buddha Platform’ could carry us across this apocalyptic catastrophe."

In the ’Western Heavenly World’ of the ’Western Heavenly Race,’ the ’Eight-Treasures Buddha Platform,’ which spans a hundred kilometers in diameter, had already gathered a full assembly of the ’Western Heavenly Race’s elite. They were all selected as qualified candidates to board the ’Eight-Treasures Buddha Platform,’ and now, they only awaited the true destruction of the starry universe. When the time came, they would be able to board the ’Eight-Treasures Buddha Platform’ and leave this world.

Although the ’Eight-Treasures Buddha Platform’ is a hundred kilometers in diameter and not considered small, it is impossible to accommodate the entire ’Western Heavenly Race.’ Therefore, only Buddhas and some high-ranking Bodhisattva-class powerhouses, as well as the relatives and family members of the core high-level figures of the ’Western Heavenly Race,’ are eligible to board the ’Eight-Treasures Buddha Platform.’

As for other Arhats, those without influential backing, or the peripheral Bodhisattvas, they were abandoned by the high echelons of the ’Western Heavenly Race,’ simply because it was impossible to fit everyone on the ’Eight-Treasures Buddha Platform.’

The ’Western Heavenly Race’ prides itself as the strongest clan in the starry universe with a deep heritage, incomparable to ordinary races. Even if the starry universe truly faced irreversible destruction, they had their own means of salvation, capable of ferrying the strongest and most promising of their clan, allowing them to flee from here.

Among the nine hundred and ninety-nine races, the vast majority were not as fortunate as the ’Western Heavenly Race.’ Their Ancestors might at best reach Peak Immortality; barely able to save themselves, how could they protect others from the imminent doomsday?

The only solution they could think of was to flee back to the ’Upper Realm’ of their respective races, escaping through the ’White Hole’ in the original Chaotic Stone World.

In a short period, major races commenced widespread evacuations. Initially, some with lofty ambitions tried to rally the warriors of various races for one last stand, but quickly realized that few strong figures were turning up. Disheartened, they could only sigh in resignation and then seek their own means of survival.

They all understood – the starry universe was beyond saving.

Not only were races from all corners fleeing towards their own ’Upper Realms’ to avoid this catastrophe, but the great civilizations of humanity were doing the same.

Among the ten civilizations, the ’Loulan Civilization’ had already perished, and its founder, the Golden Elder, had also vanished in the battle with the Beast of the Apocalypse. Others like the ’Maya Civilization,’ ’Aztec Civilization,’ ’Inca Civilization,’ and ’Assyrian Civilization’ were also fleeing towards the ’Upper Realm.’

Now their only hope was that the Beast of the Apocalypse would only devour the starry universe and not extend its reach to the ’Upper Realm’ or even the ’Black Iron World.’

The ’Beast of the Apocalypse’ continued to expand, its speed of swallowing the starry universe ever increasing. It took nearly a month for its body to swell from five billion kilometers to ten billion kilometers, but it only needed half a month to expand from ten billion kilometers to one hundred billion kilometers.

From one hundred billion kilometers to one trillion kilometers, it took less than ten days.

The further it went, the more terrifying the rate of expansion, and the speed at which the entire starry universe was devoured and collapsed became faster and faster.

When the Beast of the Apocalypse expanded to one trillion kilometers, which is about one-tenth of a light-year in length, twelve heads had grown around its disk-shaped body.

At this moment, all twelve heads opened wide, engulfing the starry universe from all directions. Terrifying spacetime turbulences were transformed into twelve mighty torrents that surged into these twelve gaping mouths, flickering with countless bright specks.

These specks were actually planets and stars.

Compared to it now, stars had become as insignificant as grains of sand in the Ganges.

At the very end of the collapsing starry universe, there was a colorful, rainbow-tinted circular hole. Within this hole, faintly shimmering blue charms seemed to flicker.

Right now, eight figures in blue robes were hovering before this colorful circular hole, pairs of eyes emitting a faint blue light, as if observing something through the distant starry universe.

One of the robed figures held a disk-like instrument, apparently measuring something. The disk twinkled with innumerable points of light. After a moment, he issued a wooden voice, "Too slow; the contraction is short of ten billion light-years."

"It is slow at the beginning, but it will get faster and faster. By my calculations, it won’t take much time," another robed figure uttered softly.

The one with the disk replied woodenly, "From the ’Ancient Life Continent,’ it is a distance of one hundred billion light-years, and the diameter of the starry universe is roughly within this range. Right now, it has only collapsed and shrunk by ten billion light-years, which is indeed too slow."

"Number Four, you don’t understand, the speed of the Cosmic Devourer’s consumption will only get faster and faster. By my estimation, the time it will take to swallow the entire starry universe should be completed within the next one to two months."

"Hey... it was bound to happen sooner or later. Right now, what I’m most interested in is those stubborn thorns of the universe. I’m really looking forward to their appearance... I’m quite curious to see how they will escape from here."

"Are you referring to... the Warlord Statue left behind?"

"Hmph, it’s far more than just the Warlord Statue, there are many more, some even beyond our prediction. However, the Cosmic Devourer should be more than capable of forcing all of these elements out, any unstable factors beyond our control need to be eradicated as much as possible."

"I see, now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m also quite interested... this is truly something to look forward to."

"Hmph, the harvest has already begun, it’s irreversible. The fate of these insects has been sealed, all worlds will be destroyed... no one will escape."

The universe was in a state of panic, as various races either retreated back to their original "Upper Realm" or vowed to stay and perish with the universe, while others gathered together and rushed towards a common goal they believed in.

That destination was the center of the "Atlantis civilization," Poseidya’s "Sun Palace."

"Poseidya" was once the name of a "Primordial Star," but now only fragments remained, cooling autonomously into a continent floating in the starry universe, which became the center of the "Atlantis civilization," the location of the "Sun Palace."

A complete "Primordial Star" could possess the energy of an entire galaxy, equivalent to a hundred billion suns. The magnitude and terror of its energy is beyond the comprehension of living beings.

Although "Poseidya" is now just a tiny fragment of what it was, it’s still unimaginably vast compared to ordinary stars. This fragment alone is the size of a thousand suns, and the energy it contains is no less than a thousand suns. Even though its surface has cooled and become suitable for human habitation, the perpetual motion-like energy source and the power of light of the "Atlantis" mainly came from this fragment of the Primordial Star.

In the previous era, the "Muriya civilization," which possessed bioenergy, once dominated the universe and ruled over all races, but at the end of the previous era, the "Atlantis civilization" rose and eventually defeated the "Muriya civilization" to become the new overlord of this universe.

The great war of the previous era swept through the entire universe, affecting countless worlds, leaving behind many legends and stories. In the end, the "Atlantis civilization" took over from the "Muriya civilization" to become the new ruler. However, the "Atlantis civilization" was quite low-profile and did not enforce true hegemony over the various races, allowing them to develop freely. Afterward, new civilizations among the various races emerged, including ten new civilizations distinct from the "Atlantis civilization" within the Human Race. The achievements of other races were even more splendid.

Yet, despite not truly dominating the universe and being extremely low-profile, in the hearts of all, the "Sun Palace" remained supremely revered. Although the various races were very antagonistic towards humans and the ten civilizations, they all held awe for the "Atlantis civilization" that towered above the humankind’s top ten civilizations.

Thus, when over a thousand Peak Immortals joined forces to wage war against the Cosmic Devourer, even though Bas’s strength might not have been the greatest among those immortals, simply because he came from the "Sun Palace," he was uncontestedly elected as the leader, with not a single immortal from any race objecting.

Now, as the universe faced destruction, the majority of races had evacuated from the starry universe, while some who were unwilling to retreat spontaneously set out towards the "Sun Palace."

They still clung to dreams, still hoping that "Atlantis" could once again work miracles, leading them to prevent the destruction of the universe.

This universe was the foundation for many races, their homeland, and they still wanted to make one last stand.

Among them, there were even numerous Children of Destiny who remained from various races.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine races, each giving birth to ten thousand Children of Destiny, totaling almost ninety-nine million. However, after years of mutual slaughter and devouring, the individual strength of the Children of Destiny had infinitely increased, but their numbers had drastically decreased. Now, the remaining Children of Destiny from all races combined numbered less than a million.

Among them, the number of immortals that emerged exceeded the total number of immortals from all major races, and hence at that time, there was a proposition to unite all the Children of Destiny, for there might be a chance to battle.

Unfortunately, not many Children of Destiny responded; most of them scattered in all directions.

Although Children of Destiny generally cannot be killed by enemies who are not Children of Destiny, faced with the Cosmic Devourer that could even swallow the universe, they too, despite their arrogance, dared not act recklessly. They feared death just the same.
