Chapter 1389: Chapter 9: The Great Emperor’s Twilight Years

The third origin world.

Within a palace of astonishing phenomena.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, slowly opening his eyes.

“This origin world…”

Lin Yuan’s face was contemplative, as numerous pieces of information flashed through his mind.

This world is boundless, known as the Great Wilderness Origin World, containing countless terrifying races.

And the vessel Lin Yuan descended into belongs to the Human Race.

Moreover, he is the only limit-transcending figure of the Human Race in this era—

Emperor Tianyuan.

“Great Emperor” is a title, not a specific realm.

Anyone who can stand at the pinnacle of the Great Wilderness Origin World can be called a Great Emperor.

Or Celestial Emperor, Supreme.

The fact that Lin Yuan could become the universally recognized Great Emperor in this era clearly indicates his undeniable strength.

Even if his power wasn’t the strongest.

It surely ranked among the strongest.

But it is regrettable that…

Lin Yuan is not appearing as a Great Emperor at the peak of his era.

Instead, he is an aged Great Emperor.

An aged Great Emperor whose vitality has dwindled, with a lifespan limited.

…

In fact, Emperor Tianyuan had already exhausted his lifespan and sat down for eternity.

If not, he wouldn’t have been taken as Lin Yuan’s vessel upon his descent.

The traversal descent via the Myriad Realms Gate can only choose life forms that are about to die or already dead.

Lin Yuan’s ability to descend signifies that the original Emperor Tianyuan was already dead.

…

“The rules of this origin world are indeed peculiar, to think there exists the shackle of lifespan limit.”

Lin Yuan exhaled gently, carefully adjusting the qi and blood within his body.

If the strength of the Great Emperor is converted into the Chaos Void’s realm, it’s equivalent to the Twelve Layers Perfect.

In terms of combat power, the Great Emperor surpasses the Invincible Great Saints far, nearly reaching the level of that Abyss Dragon in the first origin world.

However, such a mighty being isn’t with unlimited lifespan, at most, they can live for over a million years.

If one can consume an immortal elixir, they can live through a second life, totaling two to three million years.

By further breaking one’s own shackle, one could live through the fourth life, fifth life…

Of course.

The original self of Lin Yuan, namely Emperor Tianyuan, was quite mediocre among the emperors of different eras.

With the immortal elixir acquired in the past, he lived through the second life.

But he never managed to break his own shackles to live through the third life.

“The vitality of the flesh and blood is finally stabilized.”

Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts; when he first descended, he could barely sense the fluctuation of vitality within the flesh.

Emperor Tianyuan, in an effort to live longer, nearly exhausted the foundation of his vitality; once he sat down, it would be a complete demise, leaving nothing behind.

Only Lin Yuan managed to forcibly suspend a breath and smoothly recondensed the fundamental vitality.

Thus, he survived.

“Having overcome the first step, the rest will be easier.”

A smile emerged on Lin Yuan’s face.

Before the descent to the third origin world, Lin Yuan had the option of choosing numerous vessels.

In the end, he chose Emperor Tianyuan because this provided the highest starting point, allowing him to recover to his peak strength at the fastest pace.

Moreover, Emperor Tianyuan’s physique was special, and Lin Yuan, by observing the future timeline, found some faint clues.

Even Emperor Tianyuan himself didn’t know his true physique.

The only downside was the issue of the exhausted lifespan.

But for Lin Yuan, the problem wasn’t significant.

“This origin world is too peculiar.”

Lin Yuan looked around at the surroundings, the rules of the Great Dao manifested visibly in his vision.

In the Chaos Void, for the previous two origin worlds, it’s absolutely an inconceivable event.

“No wonder, within just a hundred thousand years, one could step into the realm of Great Emperor.”

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

In this era, the Great Emperor, aside from the combat power, the realm alone is equivalent to Twelve Layers Perfect.

Whereas in the Chaos Void, achieving Twelve Layers Perfect would take at least cosmic eras.

But in this world?

For a normal Great Emperor to become a limit-transcending figure, it takes at most a hundred thousand years.

Certain extraordinarily gifted Great Emperors stepped into the realm within merely tens of thousands of years.

Tens of thousands of years to reach Twelve Layers Perfect? This is nearly catching up to Lin Yuan.

The manifestation of the world’s rules of the Great Dao in the cultivation environment is the only way to give birth to numerous Great Emperors.

“Furthermore, the operation of the Origin Dao…”

Lin Yuan sensed every subtle fluctuation within the world’s heavens and earth, his eyes glowed.

The operation of the Origin Dao in this origin world is distinct from the previous two and even from that dimension gap area in the Chaos Void, like a chasm.

The impact on Lin Yuan is unprecedented.

“Perfect essence, the perfect essence in this origin world surpasses the second origin world greatly.”

Lord of Heaven Light paid a huge price to merge into the second origin world due to its so-called ’perfect essence.’

And presently, the perfect essence contained within the third origin world is much higher than the second.

The perfect essence is related to the Fourteen Layers, naturally, the more the better.

…

Choosing Emperor Tianyuan as the vessel for descent.

The advantage is a high starting point, directly as the Great Emperor of the era, able to access resources and treasures far beyond other choices of vessel.

As for the disadvantages?

The primary issue is the lifespan limit.

In truth, this is inevitable. Without the lifespan limit, Emperor Tianyuan wouldn’t have died, and Lin Yuan wouldn’t have the opportunity to descend and take control.

Moreover, Lin Yuan has already overcome this disadvantage.

With Lin Yuan’s methods, once he surpasses the initial stage of descent.

He would essentially be free from the shackles of the lifespan limit.

The so-called lifespan limit is targeted at life forms below the Thirteen Layers.

Under the rules of this world, life souls below the Thirteen Layers will decay.

But Lin Yuan, in essence, is a Thirteen Layers time-life, with his mind and will residing in Emperor Tianyuan; even though his strength hasn’t recovered to Thirteen Layers, there is no so-called lifespan limit.
