Chapter 718 - 459: Settlement
[New Source Era Year 24,938]
[Your incarnation has inherited your karma.]
[He established the Ten Thousand Yuan Forbidden Land, using the Misty Bell to suppress the Apocalypse Rift.]
[Although the incarnation had your memories and could inherit your karma,]
[Ultimately, you still perished.]
[The Jiuzhou Alliance Army successfully retreated to Jiuzhou.]
[The Apocalypse Rift was relocated, allowing Jiuzhou more energy to develop.]
[The immortals who fell 40,000 years ago were mostly cast into reincarnation by the Reincarnation Law of the Hongmeng Creation Pearl, starting their second lives.]
[They all have partial memories of their past lives and significant Celestial Dao Merits, leading to the emergence of reborn Immortal Venerables in Jiuzhou, greatly enhancing the qi fortune of the entire realm.]
[Only you, with your Divine Soul completely annihilated, could not enter reincarnation.]
[All that remained was a piece of stone, the Heaven-Mending Stone, its essence nearly exhausted.]
[The Heaven-Mending Stone was brought back to the Celestial Derivation Grotto Heaven.]
[Your incarnation inherited your karma, and although he initially refined the Triworld Grotto Heaven, he could not master it as you did, yet the Celestial Derivation Immortal Sect could continue to exist in the world.]
[Kong Xuan reincarnated anew, and the Five Elements Immortal Sect and the Celestial Derivation Immortal Sect became allies and supports each other, partly thanks to your connections, allowing the Celestial Derivation Immortal Sect to develop quite well.]
[After your death, River Map returned to slumber, but in Jiuzhou’s history, you left a deep mark.]
[The annals of Jiuzhou state that the Celestial Derivation Immortal Venerable was the successor to Fuxi, the next Master of River Map, and perished to seal the world-ending disaster.]
[You reached the stage of a Seven Laws Profound Immortal, falling at the age of 19,938.]
The golden subtitles ceased scrolling.
Jiang Ming’s eyes held a hint of confusion.
It seemed he had not yet recovered from the long simulated life.
Zhong Heng’s life was longer than all his previous simulations combined.
Jiang Ming had walked through 20,000 years of time with Zhong Heng.
At this moment, Jiang Ming only felt a trace of Immortal Qi on his Divine Soul.
It was the Immortal Qi born from cultivating alongside Immortal Venerables.
"It’s over."
"Cleared in one life."
Jiang Ming looked down at his palm, waved his hand gently, and a puddle of clear water became a mirror.
The reflection was no longer the man in black but in green.
"Even as I simulated in a Celestial Soul state, I was still significantly affected."
"Moreover, I seem to be able to see more..."
Jiang Ming looked at the subtitles that had ceased evolving.
Yet it seemed he could see more images from within.

Star River Grotto Heaven
Star River Sword Immortal stood with her sword on her back on the cliff above the sea of clouds.
The breeze stirred the strands of hair by her ear.
Star River Sword Immortal stood tall like a high-altitude flower, elegant and poised.
Behind her, a figure appeared.
She wore red, also with a longsword on her back.
A faint Cyan Lotus mark was at her brow.
"Divine Soul annihilated..."
"Without a Divine Soul, how can one reincarnate?"
The Star River Sword Immortal suddenly turned back, glaring at the figure in red.
"And you say the Undying Demon Venerable is his reincarnation, what evidence do you have?"
"You also said the Celestial Derivation True Immortal is his reincarnation."
"An Immortal Soul differs from regular Divine Souls; only the reincarnation laws on the Hongmeng Creation Pearl, a divine object, could cast it into reincarnation."
"The Demon Venerable has already ascended, so how can he ascend again?"
The woman in red remained silent briefly, then said, "You’ve seen him too, haven’t you noticed?"
"That’s definitely not a normal reincarnation."
"I will find him."
.........
"This is..."
"Star River Sword Immortal and Cyan Lotus Sword Immortal... Pei Xinghe and Ye Lianqiu?"
Jiang Ming’s eyes slightly narrowed.
Even now, Jiang Ming did not know what the simulator truly was.
It seemed to have a Reincarnation Law, yet it wasn’t quite that.
Even with the knowledge gained from sharing souls with Zhong Heng for 20,000 years, Jiang Ming couldn’t grasp the origin of the simulator.
Jiang Ming looked elsewhere.
It was a scene from within Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven.
After Jiuzhou withdrew their army, relations with Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven were almost severed, leaving only a non-interference subsidiary power.
The enmity between them guaranteed reconciliation was impossible in the short term.
The stories of the Starry Sky Wars and the endless great terror spread across the starry sky.
It is rumored in the world’s center lies a supreme forbidden land.
The forbidden land suppresses the great terror.
In it resides a unique Immortal, wielding the Misty Bell to quell the terror.
Every Starry Sky Immortal, every three thousand years, must enter the forbidden land, staying until the next three thousand years before leaving.
Immortals entering the forbidden land might leave immediately or remain for three thousand years.
Yet none know what transpires within, with memories erased.
What could erase an Immortal’s memory, besides the strongest Star Universe Celestial Venerable or themselves?
No one knows what the supreme great terror is within the forbidden land.
Only the image of the unique Immortal is seen, a man in a black robe.
Ancient and mysterious, he exudes an aura.
No one knows his origins, nor the great terror.
Only an isolated black-clad figure sits in the depths of the starry sky year after year.
