Chapter 988: Rescue
At the dawn of this samsara cycle, as the many macrocosms gradually took form, each one birthed countless primordial beings who vied for supremacy as they evolved.
At that time, True Saints descended into the river of space and time, each establishing a Saintdom and gradually conquering the various macrocosms. Yet many of these macrocosms remained unnamed.
Some were named by the Overlords who led the conquests to seize the realm. Others took the name of a super powerhouse far surpassing the other Sovereigns of that macrocosm.
The Greenridge Macrocosm was one such example. Sovereign Qing Ling had risen from humble beginnings, cultivating tirelessly without relying on the backing of any major faction. His strength was unquestionable - for eons, he was universally acknowledged as the most powerful figure in the Greenridge Macrocosm. The Greenridge Immortal World he established was the number one faction in the macrocosm.
Of course, nowadays, most factions in the Greenridge Macrocosm believed Ming Jian and Wu Yuan would surpass him in the future, perhaps even becoming Overlords. But for now, they were likely still no match for Sovereign Qing Ling.
Sovereign Shi Qing and Sovereign Zhen Guang had each occupied a region of outer space, facing off from afar.
"Qing Ling, I didn't expect you to come," Sovereign Zhen Guang's voice held a note of wariness.
Earlier, he had calculated a 30% likelihood that no Sovereigns from other factions would appear.
There was a 70% chance other Sovereigns would come, but they would all be slower than him. After all, the Sacred Flame Ravine was within the borders of the Eternal Sun Immortal World, not far from the Ming Jian Realm.
This was why Sovereign Zhen Guang dared to attempt to claim everything for himself. As long as he arrived first and set up arrays, he had hope of monopolizing all the treasures if no Sovereigns from other factions came.
And if other Sovereigns did come? In theory, he could hold off even top Sovereigns like Sovereign Voltari or Sovereign Cang Feng for a long time with his arrays, enough to delay until Ming Jian and Bei You arrived. After all, Sovereigns of Space traversing the Spacetime Intersection Layer could move thousands of times faster than ordinary Sovereigns in the Vacuum Spatial Layer.
