Chapter 383: The Main God Space (39)

"He... became an immortal."

Yang Jiesheng watched the two figures merge into one and vanish completely. He and the Lord of Scourge no longer existed in the same dimension. This was the difference between immortal and mortal. Unless an immortal willed it, how could a mortal see an immortal?

They had just witnessed the birth of an immortal.

Faint, indescribable voices lingered in the remnants of the shattered world. They came from the fallen souls of the campaign or echoed from various timelines. All of them praised a single title.

Northern Nether Origin Dao Immortal Monarch. Proving his Dao made him a giant. His future was limitless.

Witnessing the birth of a True Immortal was a blessing for the survivors, yet it might also be a curse. To strive for the impossible required far more than courage.

Gongsun Ling stared firmly in the direction Su Chen had departed. She would become an immortal one day as well.

Being the disciple of a True Immortal was not something to be proud of. Only when she stood among the immortals alongside her master would she feel true pride. The struggle for immortality had ended. The encirclement of the Fourth Scourge had concluded as well.

No one knew the final outcome. Four Immortal Kings had besieged the Lord of Scourge. No one had witnessed that battle, so no one knew its result.

Su Chen had already returned to the Main God Space. After becoming an immortal, he was no longer a puppet of the Main God Space. He had become one of its rulers.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on proving your Dao and becoming a True Immortal."

Not long after Su Chen returned to the Main God Space, a voice sounded from the surroundings. It clearly belonged to an established True Immortal of the space.

"Proving dual immortal positions in a single battle—truly impressive."

A handsome figure appeared. Though male in form, he possessed an enchanting charm, as if he were the embodiment of the world's greatest beauty.

Su Chen found this unsurprising. After becoming immortal, the concept of time faded, and True Immortals could take on all manner of strange forms.

"Northern Nether greets fellow Daoist Fallen Paradise." Su Chen returned the greeting and asked, "What brings you here, fellow Daoist?"

Fallen Paradise Immortal Monarch found Su Chen's calm demeanor unusual. This fellow did not seem like someone achieving immortality for the first time. A first-time immortal would not have reacted so steadily upon meeting him.

He wondered which True Immortal this man had been in his previous life. He had heard that Su Chen had defeated even the reincarnation of Burial True Immortal Monarch on the battlefield. At the time, he had thought it exaggerated, but now it seemed entirely plausible. That poor Burial True Immortal Monarch had not suffered unjustly.

Walking a second path carried one major taboo: encountering the same existence while retracing one's steps. If that existence proved stronger, the consequences were dire.

Still, the probability of such an encounter was extremely low—almost negligible. Over hundreds of myriad heavens epochs, the birth of even one True Immortal was already fortunate. Even reincarnated True Immortals could not survive so many epochs without achieving immortality, especially with the even more terrifying great dark tribulations looming.

Fallen Paradise Immortal Monarch gathered his thoughts and smiled. "Does fellow Daoist know who the Main God's origin within you belongs to?"

Su Chen's eyes flickered slightly. He knew the Main God Space origin on his body was connected to Oriental Cloud Star. However, something like the Main God Space origin could not have been obtained by Oriental Cloud Star alone. That meant it had to come from... an Immortal King.

"Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist Fallen Paradise."

Su Chen could not fully grasp how many Immortal Kings existed within the Main God Space. The Immortal Kings of these great powers were all extremely mysterious. Otherwise, he would not have been so easily schemed against by the Heavenly Gang Immortal King.

Fallen Paradise Immortal Monarch explained, "The Main God Space origin on fellow Daoist comes from Lord Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King. Within the Main God Space, every Immortal King is like a towering fruit tree, while we True Immortals are the fruits upon that tree. We share honor and disgrace together. The Main God origin on fellow Daoist is the same as the one on me. Both come from Lord Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King. We are both 'fruits' upon his tree."

The relationship between tree and fruit was precisely the relationship between Immortal King and True Immortal.

Fallen Paradise Immortal Monarch observed Su Chen and confirmed that he did not come from another Immortal King's orthodox lineage. Otherwise, he would not have been unaware of these matters.

This was excellent news.

Fallen Paradise Immortal Monarch continued, "Since Northern Nether Daoist has such deep ties with Lord Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King, would you be willing to join the Supreme Immortal Palace? It was founded by Lord Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King himself."

Facing the invitation, Su Chen replied, "Since my Dao stems from Lord Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King, I am naturally willing to join the Supreme Immortal Palace."

Su Chen accepted without hesitation.

When an Immortal King extended an invitation—especially one so closely connected to his path of immortality—Su Chen was no fool. He knew exactly how to choose.

If he refused, he might one day be secretly schemed against again and make an unclear decision in the heat of the moment.

Fallen Paradise Immortal Monarch, having completed his task, smiled broadly. A quasi-giant who had proven dual immortal paths in one go. If he recovered his former path, he would immediately become a true giant.

A giant held significant weight even within the Supreme Immortal Palace.

Su Chen followed Fallen Paradise Immortal Monarch to the Supreme Immortal Palace and left an anchor point in its spacetime. From then on, he was officially a member of the Supreme Immortal Palace.

With an Immortal King backing him, anyone who wanted to scheme against him would have to think twice about provoking the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King.

However, Lord Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King had not yet returned, so Su Chen had no chance to meet this Immortal King in person.

...

In a vast immortal land, a voice rang out.

"Dao Extremity Immortal Monarch, you could not hide forever after all!"

Asura Immortal Monarch had lain in wait for countless epochs.

For the sake of the Myriad Transformations Dao Extremity Immortal Monarch—Oriental Cloud Star's Dao fruit. As fellow True Immortals who both walked the karma lineage, only one Immortal King could exist on this path. Every True Immortal who sought to prove the karma-lineage Immortal King position had to either devour another's Dao fruit or reach the end of the karma Great Dao.

The Myriad Transformations Dao Extremity Immortal Monarch had been gravely wounded in that great war and had come to his territory. It was like a ginseng fruit falling from the sky. Asura Immortal Monarch had been overjoyed.

Unfortunately, he had still let Oriental Cloud Star escape.

But it did not matter. As long as the Myriad Transformations Dao Extremity Immortal Monarch showed any weakness, he would become prey on his plate.

A True Immortal never lacked time.
