Chapter 501: Second Tier of the Eternal Child of the Universe |
TL: Etude
Ten years ago, Ye Tian entered the eighth floor to challenge it but was defeated.
Now, Ye Tian’s strength was far beyond what it had been ten years ago.
As the battle began, Ye Tian’s spatial talent and two spatial divine abilities, combined with the ultimate technique of the Heavenly Moon Saber, completely suppressed the opponent.
This clone of an Eternal Prince was indeed powerful, wielding a long spear and possessing an ultimate spear technique, with almost no weaknesses in other areas.
However, Ye Tian was stronger, and his spatial talent allowed him to suppress the opponent, giving him the advantage in the battle.
Boom, boom, boom! The two fought for a long time, yet no winner was determined.
Although Ye Tian was slightly stronger, it was not enough to decisively defeat this clone of the Eternal Prince.
The defense of this Eternal Prince was very strong, and his recovery speed was fast. Even if he was slightly injured, he could recover quickly.
But in reality, Ye Tian could not kill such an Eternal Prince. If the opponent couldn’t beat Ye Tian, he could still escape.
Suddenly.
Ye Tian left the eighth level of the battle tower and returned to the main hall of the tower.
He knew he had passed the eighth level of the battle tower. On the eighth level platform, one did not need to defeat the opponent; just surviving for a certain period was enough.
Undoubtedly, Ye Tian possessed the strength of the second tier of the Eternal Child of the Universe.
When Ye Tian passed the eighth level of the battle tower, the phantom spirit guarding the tower reported this news upwards.
Soon, the higher-ups of the Supreme Hall of Humanity were informed of Ye Tian’s situation.
They were also quite surprised that Ye Tian’s strength had improved so rapidly. At the level of an Eternal Child of the Universe, even a slight increase in strength required a lot of effort and time.
More than 90% of Eternal Princes were at the third tier, and only a very few could hope to reach the second tier after a long time.
But at the Emperor level, it was extremely difficult for many Princes to enter the second or even the first tier.
It wasn’t a lack of talent, but a lack of time.
If these Eternal Princes were given ample lifespans, without worrying about lifespan, then they could spend a lot of time advancing to the second tier.
However, many Eternal Princes, when two-thirds of their lifespan was depleted, dared not stay at the Emperor level any longer and chose to break through to the God level.
Once they became God-level powerhouses, their lifespans would increase significantly.
At that time, they would have the lifespan to continue accumulating their foundation.
Failing to reach the third tier of the Eternal Child of the Universe at the Emperor level did not mean that one cannot reach the second tier of the Eternal Child of the Universe at the God level.
Of course, most Children of the Universe can only maintain the same level, or even be downgraded.
The higher-ups of humanity held a meeting immediately upon learning of Ye Tian’s breakthrough to the second tier of the Eternal Child of the Universe.
The Supreme Hall of Humanity prepared to heavily cultivate Ye Tian.
In the Yellow Region, Bi Bo Lake.
Ye Tian was in the Cultivation Tower, cultivating.
At this time, Divine Lord Dantai visited.
Ye Tian immediately came out of seclusion to welcome Divine Lord Dantai.
The two started talking in a hall of the Cultivation Tower.
“Prince of Ten Thousand Laws, for your previous completion of the task of slaying the God-level ferocious beasts in the Beast God Realm, the Supreme Hall of Humanity has already issued a reward.
And because you passed the eighth level of the battle tower and possess the strength of a second tier Eternal Child of the Universe, the Supreme Hall of Humanity has decided to give you an additional reward.”
“What reward?”
Ye Tian was quite curious. He felt that the reward from the Supreme Hall of Humanity must not be an ordinary treasure, as the Supreme Hall of Humanity was always generous. An additional reward, if it were just an ordinary reward, would not have been necessary.
Under Ye Tian’s expectant gaze, Divine Lord Dantai spoke, “For your accomplishment in slaughtering 100,000 God-level ferocious beasts in the Beast God Realm, your reward was the Wood Heavenly Dao Character. And now, the additional reward from the Supreme Hall of Humanity is the Earth Heavenly Dao Character. With the other three Heavenly Dao Characters you possess, you can now assemble the five Heavenly Dao Characters corresponding to the Five Elements Great Divine Ability.
The Supreme Hall of Humanity also hopes that you can master the Five Elements Great Divine Ability, as it can enhance your strength and make you even stronger!”
“The Earth Heavenly Dao Character!” Ye Tian was thrilled, for this was the Heavenly Dao Character he had longed for.
He was aware that the Supreme Hall of Humanity surely possessed the Earth Heavenly Dao Character, but they would not bestow it lightly.
If such resources were so easily granted, it could lead to laziness or dependency among the Princes.
Had he not passed the eighth level of the battle tower this time and achieved the strength of a second tier Eternal Child of the Universe, the Supreme Hall of Humanity probably would not have bestowed the Earth Heavenly Dao Character upon him.
“Here are two scrolls, sealed with the Wood and Earth Heavenly Dao Characters. Take them!” Divine Lord Dantai handed over the scrolls to Ye Tian.
“Thank you, Divine Lord Dantai!” Ye Tian expressed his gratitude with a fist salute.
Divine Lord Dantai laughed heartily, “You don’t need to thank me. This was a decision made by the higher-ups of the Supreme Hall of Humanity.
You are now the only face of the Supreme Hall of Humanity at the Emperor level. The higher-ups are counting on you to be able to contend with the Eternal Princes of other cosmic races!”
Ye Tian accepted the two scrolls and then suddenly asked, “Divine Lord Dantai, there’s something that has puzzled me for a long time. May I ask for your enlightenment?”
“Ask away. As long as it’s not too confidential, I will tell you,” Divine Lord Dantai responded.
Ye Tian inquired, “Divine Lord Dantai, I know that there were three Eternal Princes in the Yellow Region previously. And according to what other Princes have said, in a previous encounter with alien races, our Princes suffered heavy losses, with even three Eternal Princes falling. What exactly happened back then? The Princes hardly mention this incident, and I couldn’t find out more.”
“This matter…” Divine Lord Dantai frowned and then sighed deeply, “You should be well aware that there are many powerful races in the universe, some of which are comparable to or even stronger than the Human Race.
It’s not possible for major cosmic races to easily wage wars against each other, as the consequences would be too great.
A war between cosmic races is not about destroying one or two galaxies. There have been wars where entire star fields of a race were obliterated.
Therefore, a long time ago, the cosmic races signed agreements not to wage wars whimsically.
But as you know, resources in the universe are limited. When rare resources or great opportunities arise, how could the cosmic races not compete? The Supremes naturally cannot intervene, so it falls to the Children of the Universe to fight on their behalf, contesting for opportunities and resources, and also to showcase the strength and foundation of their races!”
“I see!” Ye Tian gained some understanding.
Divine Lord Dantai continued, “The last time, 300 years ago, a very precious secret realm appeared, containing resources that could even drive Universal Gods mad.
And this secret realm appeared within a minor cosmic race, which was destroyed on the second day. Many major cosmic races joined forces to occupy this secret realm, and our Human Race was one of them.
It was then decided that the distribution of resources in this secret realm would be determined by the slaughter among the Children of the Universe.
Such an arrangement is indeed unfair to the Children of the Universe. However, for the prosperity and glory of the Human Race, and to ensure we are not weaker than other cosmic races, the Children of the Universe must stand out.”
A sorrowful expression appeared on Divine Lord Dantai’s face.
He added, “The Heavenly Prides, the Emperor-level Children of the Universe, the God-level Children of the Universe, the True God-level Children of the Universe, the Great God-level Children of the Universe—they were divided into five groups. Each entered one of the five trial worlds to engage in a trial slaughter by seizing the identity tokens of the opposing Children of the Universe! The Heavenly Pride level was the most brutal, with thousands of nine-star peerless Heavenly Prides falling.
Many Princes from the Yellow Region also perished. The three Eternal Princes were targeted by Eternal Princes of several cosmic races and eventually fell into their traps and perished.
In that battle, our Human Race’s Heavenly Prides and Children of the Universe suffered heavy losses, with even two Great God-level Children of the Universe dying in battle!”
Listening to Divine Lord Dantai’s words, Ye Tian seemed to envision the scenes of that battle, witnessing the tragic sight and cruel slaughter.
“Prince of Ten Thousand Laws, in a few decades, a grand era will arrive. I cannot tell you now what kind of grand era it will be, but the competition will be even more brutal than the last time. So you must grow at all costs,” Divine Lord Dantai advised.
“Understood!” Ye Tian nodded.
After a long conversation, Divine Lord Dantai finally left Ye Tian’s Cultivation Tower.
That day.
Ye Tian applied to enter the Chaos Tower for cultivation. His Chaos Body Refining Technique had already been cultivated to the perfected realm of the fourth layer, and there had been no progress during this period; he had truly reached a bottleneck.
Therefore, Ye Tian didn’t want to waste any more time. He wished to use the Chaos Tower to break through to the fifth layer of the Chaos Body Refining Technique.
The fifth layer of the Chaos Body Refining Technique was the major realm. Once Ye Tian stepped into this realm, his strength would undergo a tremendous transformation, and he would be extremely powerful even among second tier Eternal Children of the Universe.
The request from Ye Tian was quickly approved by the Hall of Enforcers, but an inspection and review were still required.
Thus, Ziya took Ye Tian to the Hall of Enforcers.
