Chapter 1737: Chapter 1043: Listen Attentively, Lord of the Dark Ruins (Part 2)

In the Shrouding Sky era, the Immortal Domain had long become history, the path to immortality severed, and even the existence of the Immortal Domain itself became a mystery.

It never thought that one day it would set foot on this legendary land, and that too, in a muddled state of a lingering thought.

"Great Emperor, am I currently residing in the years of the past?" Although the Black Emperor was just a dog with limited potential, having followed Emperor No-Origin for so long, it naturally gained some insight and quickly reacted.

"Yes, and no."

No-Origin nodded but then immediately shook his head.

Confused, the Black Emperor patiently waited for the Great Emperor’s explanation.

"I nodded because you and I are indeed in the years of the past. However, the reason for my shaking head is that this past era has changed, it stands independently, unaffected by the more ancient past, nor by the future or any flow of time in the present."

"Do you remember the Emperor Huang Tian?"

"Huang... Huang Tian, could it be that... I know, I know." The Black Emperor immediately nodded like a pecking chick.

Emperor Huang Tian, in later generations, only left traces, with countless people following his footsteps. Long ago, he cut through eternity with a single sword, creating a peaceful era for them.

"At this very moment, Emperor Huang Tian is in this village."

The Black Emperor was instantly dumbfounded.

In the countless subsequent eras, only traces were left, even Emperor No-Origin pursued his footsteps, yet here he was.

All of this made the Big Black Dog’s head spin as if dreaming, feeling unreal.

If it were anyone else, they might not feel this way, as they wouldn’t understand the deep knowledge and couldn’t grasp the shock of certain events.

But it, being just a dog, with a bloodline not comparing to those innate clans, descendants of the Great Emperors, but having lived long enough without achieving immortality, and through a twist of fate, it knew many of the monumental events recorded in the river of history.

The more it knew, the more shocked it felt within its heart.

The river of time surged forward, and the dust settled at its bottom, yet too many secrets, too many events couldn’t be hidden even by time. NovelFire

"Actually, it was unlikely to happen. Emperor Huang Tian cutting through eternity with one sword is a known fact. We come from the future ages, witnessing firsthand the obstacles amid later tranquility..."

"While countering the Emperor, I also found the passage to the Immortal Domain and entered it; in the Immortal Domain, it was a scene of desolation, everywhere broken fragments, like a wasteland, not an illusion."

"If according to the predetermined trajectory, everything would unfold. However, because of Senior Jiang, perhaps along with efforts by me, Fellow Daoist Ye, and the Fierce Man, the future trajectory won’t change, but the past has already reversed."

Mentioning Jiang Hui, Emperor No-Origin couldn’t help but convey extra respect and gratitude in his tone.

"Senior Jiang’s achievements are unrivaled, reaching unimaginable realms.

Not only rescuing me from danger multiple times but also standing alone against formidable enemies as the Immortal Domain faced extinction.

If it weren’t for Senior, the Immortal Domain would no longer exist, and we wouldn’t be standing here today."

The Big Black Dog felt immeasurably shocked. It couldn’t help but swallow, cautiously asking, "Great Emperor, and that Senior Jiang... what exactly is his background? Was there any trace left in later generations?"

"Nothing!"

The Black Emperor was somewhat bewildered.

Because if speaking of time, it always flows forward, and everything ultimately cannot be avoided, like the truth in established facts, the script has already been enacted.

The story of Emperor Huang Tian cutting through eternal time with one sword is true. Then with such a powerful existence, why was nothing left behind, and why did it finally remain for Huang Tian’s single sword to decide the ages?!

"Fellow Daoist Ye, Fierce Man, and I once suspected Jiang’s existence posed a threat to the Bizarre Clan, hence targeted particularly, erasing all traces of existence. Some occurrences seemed to verify this, but there are too many ambiguities here.

Now, we assume Senior Jiang might be someone who spanned across eras."

"Traversed countless epochs, witnessing the rise and fall of numerous eras, ultimately remaining here, inviting peers across heavens, jointly opposing the Bizarre Clan!"

Indeed, it must be said, being the first to enter the Great Emperor Realm at five hundred years, No-Origin’s thinking was pretty accurate in some sense.

Time travelers, isn’t it just spanning countless epochs?

The Big Black Dog felt surging within, "No wonder the Great Emperor is so respectful..."

Emperor No-Origin gently laughed, patting the Big Black Dog’s head, with a bit of teasing tone, "You dog head, aren’t you typically fearless, why act so solemn today?"

The Big Black Dog awkwardly smiled, "How can I not be serious, he could probably crush me with just a little finger."

Emperor No-Origin couldn’t hold back the laughter, shaking his head, "You dog head, really know how to give yourself a way out."

The Big Black Dog chuckled, then seemed to recall something, "Great Emperor, since this is the Immortal Domain, doesn’t it mean there’s a pathway to the Immortal Path Field?"

The Black Emperor’s interest was piqued, spending a lifetime, only managing to keep oneself alive like that old fellow Duan De by burying the flesh into a tomb, forcibly extending life, and now seeing an opportunity, even just a remaining thought as a link, even if unachievable, can gather abundant gains.

"What you’ve come here with is merely a thought, how can that achieve immortality?"

No-Origin patted the dog head.

Even within the Immortal Domain, those flesh-and-blood geniuses could not necessarily ensure their passage into the Immortal Path Field.

How many Immortal Cities are there in the Immortal Domain?

The Black Emperor wagged its tongue, choosing not to discuss this further, trusting in the emperor’s judgment. However, the emperor’s mention of such a formidable figure gives hope that one might gain an opportunity, and when this remnant returns to the original, perhaps achieving immortality.

In the village, a world of its own, the Spiritual Energy was abundant, the mountains and rivers all shone radiantly.

The Big Black Dog looked around, utterly amazed, "Great Emperor, indeed the Immortal Domain is extraordinary, just this Spiritual Energy alone is countless times thicker than in our era, can’t describe it, it’s too exaggerated, under such environment, even an ordinary canine might develop not-so-ordinary wit, living a few hundred years!"

"This is Liu Village, the elder’s dojo, not the Immortal Domain, other places don’t have such extent."

No-Origin explained.

"Seems like I truly came to the right place."

With the Big Black Dog’s carefree nature, it didn’t ponder why it came here, just felt it gained immensely, the longer it could stay, the better.

Even though one person and one dog had ventured far, but under the keen awareness of two beings in the Sacrificial Path State, how could they possibly conceal any actions?

Emperor Huanfen teasingly remarked, "This Big Black Dog sure is clever, it knows how to speak well."

Jiang Hui smiled, though his focus was in his own divine sea.

The divine sea sparkled, like a glimmering ocean, stretching endlessly beyond measure. Just at Jiang Hui’s deep concentration, a completely black Token emerged slowly on the sea surface.

It represented the authority Token of the Netherworld Underworld.

This was another reason Jiang Hui solidified the Big Black Dog’s remaining thought.

Of course, the most important factor was the latter’s relationship with No-Origin.

Yet this Token of Authority.

Jiang Hui’s gaze swept across:

Position: Listener (Remnant)

Listener: A mysterious ancient beast walking the Underworld.

Its eyes are like torches, capable of piercing through the Yin and Yang realms.

With keen hearing, it can capture the faintest whispers of the world, be they the lies of the living or the lamentations of the wraiths, nothing can escape.

The Listener’s identity is unique, holding no authority itself, but possessing ultimate strength, acting as a Guardian of the Underworld.

Upon activation of the Listener’s authority, one may obtain the authority of the Lord of the Dark Ruins.

Jiang Hui’s gaze moved up and down gauging.

The Underworld he created, in certain aspects, is different from the widely known one in future generations.

The Lord of the Dark Ruins can be considered the highest authority aside from his will within the entire Underworld.

Unexpectedly, it connects with this Big Black Dog.

Why is it a remnant?

Primarily because just a remaining thought alone isn’t sufficient.

Even the Black Emperor’s body alone isn’t enough.

To activate, it needs to gather the remnant of the Black Emperor from the Ancient Immortal Era, this remaining thought, and the remnant of the Dog Emperor from the Era of Sacred Ruins.

In addition, there’s the Sun Devouring Divine Monarch, which is the Howling Celestial Dog.

Then, merge these thoughts into the Sun Devouring Divine Monarch.

The easiest to find is the Howling Celestial Dog.

Because it had been drawn long ago, following Old man Lin usually, already reaching a Semi-step Immortal King level, for the rest, some measures need to be taken.
