Chapter 1234: Chapter 530: The Greatest Secret of All Time, The Past and Present Lives of Jiang Yuan._4
At the same time, he also saw the figure suspected to be one of the Longevity, a shriveled old man with a face weathered by the elements, appearing as if he was on the brink of death, but whose strength was indeed formidable and not to be underestimated.
During that battle, the Heavenly Emperor took on three enemies by himself, facing off against three Transcenders from the upper reaches of the Time River.
The fight took place at a bend of a tributary of the river, where heaven and earth verged on collapse, and all paths withered away.
Despite being outnumbered, the Heavenly Emperor held his own against the three.
However, in such a situation, not falling behind was tantamount to defeat.
For they had reinforcements, while the Heavenly Court stood alone, unsupported.
Ultimately, with this realization, the Heavenly Emperor had no choice but to fight with his life on the line.
At a great cost, he managed to slay all three half-step Transcenders in the upper reaches of the Time River.
As the bodies of these three mighty beings merged with this realm, the Heavenly Emperor received an immense feedback of energy.
This energy feedback was the exchange he received from the will of this world.
With this energy, the Heavenly Emperor, drawing his last breath, altered the terrain at the tributary of the Time River, narrowing the entrance.
With the narrowed entrance, it was no longer possible to support the entry of Half-step Transcenders into this realm.
After completing this task, he positioned his crafted Heavenly Court at the entrance of the tributary, instructing the people of the court to defend this place through the ages.
He then informed everyone in the Heavenly Court that his injuries were too severe, beyond salvation, and that he would need to reincarnate and be reborn. He promised that after his cultivation was restored, he would return to this place.
After instructing everyone in the Heavenly Court, the True Spirit Mark of the Heavenly Emperor shattered into countless fragments, instantly merging into different segments of the Time River to be reincarnated.
Through such reincarnation, his presence would appear in both the past and the present.
But in Jiang Yuan’s eyes, it was not so.
The True Spirit Mark plunged into the Time River, its numerous fragments merging into various regions of the stream, integrating into the different time periods of this tributary.
He evolved through tens of thousands of lives, and the achievements of all those lives would eventually merge into his primary consciousness.
Meanwhile, the most important fragment of the True Spirit Mark followed the flow of the Time River downward, returning to the Immortal World.
The moment the will of the Heavenly Emperor returned to the Immortal World, he fell into a deep slumber, simultaneously severing contact with the Five Domains and the Four Seas, and initiated the ultimate celestial technique.
The reason was that his injuries were truly too severe.
So severe that he needed to fall into a deep sleep.
Each incarnation originating from the True Spirit Mark, which fell into the past, ended with death, transforming into a beam of spiritual light merging into his main body.
After countless cycles of reincarnation, the fragments of the True Spirit Mark were completely worn away and dissolved.
Jiang Yuan suddenly understood that he was merely one of the reincarnations of a True Spirit Mark fragment, the reincarnated existence of a True Spirit fragment.
And as for the primary being of the Heavenly Emperor, he still remained in the upper realm, within the Immortal Land, perhaps still in slumber, or maybe already awakened.
But it was beyond doubt that if he were to enter the Immortal World, he would be discovered by the lingering will of the Heavenly Emperor, who would then act against him, harvesting all of his achievements.
Having witnessed the past of the Heavenly Emperor, Jiang Yuan did not doubt this in the least.
Because the Heavenly Emperor had even been prepared to sacrifice the entire heaven and earth, to sacrifice all spirits, to fulfill his own path and achieve transcendence.
In such circumstances, being one of his True Spirit Mark fragments, how could he possibly let himself go?
After all, his current achievements, compared with those of the Heavenly Emperor, were not significantly different.
With this thought, Jiang Yuan’s gaze sharpened.
He had originally thought his enemies came from the upper reaches of the Time River.
After all, to have a stable environment for the girl in Ye Chanxi’s womb to grow up safely, such unstable elements had to be eradicated.
Even if he did not seek them out, they would eventually come looking for trouble with him.
Not out of any personal vendetta against him but simply to harvest worlds, to further their own paths, to extend their lifespans.
Having seen the life of the Heavenly Emperor, Jiang Yuan’s vision once again brought forth memories of his previous life, on Blue Star.
In that life, he existed in a different time zone, belonging to the Ancient Era, reincarnated back into the past.
That life was unremarkable, just a very ordinary existence.
The only extraordinary thing was that one day.
He walked into an alley and was suddenly engulfed by a dense mystical fog.
Suddenly, Jiang Yuan’s gaze intensified.
That was!!!
In his field of vision, scenes from his past life, from his current life, began to emerge.
He saw how he entered the fog and suddenly arrived in this world just before that moment.
It was a stroke of splendid purple light, an incredibly dazzling purple light that shot out of the depths of the fog in a flash.
At that time, he was completely unaware because the speed was too fast, so rapid that it was hard for ordinary human eyes to detect.
It was precisely because this streak of purple light merged into his mind that his life in this world suddenly came to an end.
The stories of his past and current lives ended there.
Jiang Yuan suddenly realized that he had only three lives.
