Chapter 2163 - 1989: Eternal Crown

From the words of the Ancient Great Emperor, it is clear that this Mythical Emperor Crown is absolutely extraordinary, with an immensely significant origin.

"I request the Great Emperor to reveal the details!" Ye Chen said.

"Before answering, let me first ask you, how did you obtain this Divine Crown?" The Ancient Great Emperor countered with a question.

"In response to the Great Emperor, this junior acquired it from the Original Emperor Realm of the Emperor Supreme Saint." Ye Chen replied truthfully.

"Did it originate from the Emperor Supreme Saint—" The Ancient Great Emperor murmured softly, "Indeed, is that so?"

Ye Chen felt somewhat puzzled but refrained from interrupting, as he knew the Ancient Great Emperor would surely explain the reason.

Sure enough, the Ancient Great Emperor immediately spoke, "This Divine Crown is refined from nine kinds of Chaos Immortal Gold, neither an Emperor Crown nor an Immortal Crown. If I am not mistaken, it should belong to the legendary Eternal Crown!"

"Eternal Crown!?"

There’s no need for excessive explanation; its name alone can convey a lot.

This crown is related to Eternity.

Ye Chen stared in astonishment at the nine-colored Emperor Crown, which should be rightly referred to as the Eternal Crown. Though he knew this Divine Crown had an extraordinary origin, he never expected it to be connected to Eternity!

Eternity represents what? It symbolizes complete Immortality, a transcendence above fate, an existence that surpasses all.

Throughout the entire Chaos Sea, there is no Eternal Existence.

That’s a realm pursued by one epoch after another, by both Emperors and Supreme Immortals.

And even the very concept of such a realm belongs to legend; some say it doesn’t exist, it’s ethereal, because it has never given birth to an Eternal Existence of this level.

Yet there are also those who believe the Eternal Realm must exist, pursued by countless beings, including Emperors and Supreme Immortals.

Even Ye Chen believes the Realm of Eternity surely exists because Eternity is his goal!

But now, an Eternal Crown has appeared.

Undoubtedly, it is shocking.

No wonder the Ancient Great Emperor previously mentioned that if the Eight Desolate Ancient Universe had possessed this Eternal Crown back then, it would not have reached such a state.

The Ancient Great Emperor said, "Perhaps you’ve also heard that countless ages ago, long before the epochs, someone discovered an Ancient Stele in the Chaos Sea Secret Realm, so unspeakably ancient that it’s seemingly older than the oldest beings within the Chaos Sea."

"According to legend, before the Chaos Sea truly came into existence, there was once an Eternal Existence recorded in that Ancient Stele, which contained a few traces. It’s a realm transcending both Emperors and Immortals, transcending fate, Immortal and indestructible, unable to be killed by anyone."

"However, throughout the history of the Chaos Sea, as epochs passed and endless ages vanished, never has an Eternal Existence been discovered. Only that Ancient Stele holds the record, claiming an Eternal Domain."

"Even though one epoch after another has submerged, endured transformation, and the Chaos Ancient Universe was born and subsequently destroyed, still, there are those who believe Eternity exists. Some even claim they have discovered traces related to Eternity, each time inciting a great uproar in the Chaos Sea."

"Sadly, no one has ever found the slightest trace of an Eternal Existence, as if it belongs solely to dreamy, ethereal legends."

Listening to the Ancient Great Emperor’s words, Ye Chen’s heart trembled fiercely. For the pursuit of an Eternal Existence, through the ages, with the cycle of each epoch’s rise and fall, experiencing the birth and destruction of the Chaos Ancient Universe, never ceasing the pursuit.

Yet throughout endless ages, countless Emperors and Supreme Immortals have emerged, and countless exceptionally talented individuals have stepped forth, able to tower over the ancient past, overlook the River of Time, and scour the Chaos Sea, but have never found an Eternal Existence.

This has led many to doubt whether the Eternal Domain truly exists?

Following this, the Ancient Great Emperor’s gaze fell upon the Eternal Crown, and he said, "Yet that Ancient Stele once recorded that the Eternal Existence possessed a Divine Crown, refined from nine kinds of Chaos Immortal Gold, eternally existing, imprinted with Dao Patterns even Emperors may not fully comprehend."

"This is the Eternal Crown!"

"The Eternal Crown represents an Eternal Existence and confirms the prehistoric Ancient Stele’s legends to be true!"

Ye Chen also looked towards the Eternal Crown, sighing inwardly, realizing that he had obtained a supreme treasure related to an Eternal Existence and moreover, the Eternal Crown left by this Eternal Existence.

If the Emperors or Supreme Immortals knew this, they might be moved to the point of madness.

"If in the past, I had the fortune of obtaining this Eternal Crown, perhaps there could have been a chance to venture into the Eternal Domain, rather than reaching such an outcome."

The Ancient Great Emperor sighed, filled with immense emotion, but after all, he is an Emperor, knowing that time is irreversible, everything has happened and become the past, naturally not indulging in excessive lamentation.

Moreover, he knows that achieving Eternity is no small feat.

Ye Chen recalled the words of the Time-Space Emperor, and asked, "Great Emperor, could the Eternal Existence have perished?"

"The Eternal Existence perished?" The Ancient Great Emperor seemed to hear the most ludicrous joke, laughed heartily, then his gaze sparkled, "Impossible, for he is Eternal, also a Transcender, Immortal, who can kill him?"

Ye Chen fell into silence, indeed, Eternal Immortality, who can kill such an existence?

Neither Emperors nor Supreme Immortals can, not even the Strongest Emperor nor the Immortal King; for Eternity has transcended fate, no one can kill him.

Because these words were spoken by the Time-Space Emperor, and who is he? A generation’s Strongest Emperor, akin to the Combat Saint Ancestor, Heavenly Emperor, and Emperor Supreme Saint.

Ye Chen spoke frankly, "This was informed by the Time-Space Emperor; he once claimed that the Eternal Existence might have fallen and the place of his fall might be in the Sealing Universe, within the Cosmic Origin, which triggered the Mythical Catastrophe of the Sealing Universe."

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Great Emperor fell silent as well; if Ye Chen spoke of the Eternal’s demise, he might refute a few words, but if it’s the Time-Space Emperor, who is the Strongest Emperor, not weaker than Emperor Haan Tian, and unrivaled in the Time-Space way, if he says so, then even this deceased Great Emperor cannot easily refute.

Then he looked at the Eternal Crown and said, "Perhaps it really could be possible that he fell."

Ye Chen was startled and puzzled; previously, the Ancient Great Emperor had been resolute in saying it was impossible, but why does he now say it might be possible?

The Ancient Great Emperor is wise; such inconsistency is rare.

The Ancient Great Emperor said, "I once heard of related rumors, that the Eternal Existence was born before the Chaos Sea, but after the Chaos Sea came into being, he could not be seen. Afterward, some speculated that the Eternal Existence could not be killed, but might have lived for so long that loneliness set in, hence creating the Endless Chaotic Sea with his own power, eventually exhausting himself."

"The world has always rumored that to achieve Eternity, the Chaos Dao is one of the most hopeful paths."

"Because this is the strongest Dao, the Origin of Ten Thousand Daos, once reaching Great Perfection, Chaos proclaims as Emperor, hopes to transcend fate and achieve Eternity."

"Therefore, it’s possible that Eternity gave birth to the Endless Chaotic Sea, but conversely, can also certify the Eternal Domain through this Chaos Dao."
