Chapter 1803: Chapter 1660: The Strongest Enemy, Time

Chu Mu was very puzzled, why was the matter of the Ten Thousand Year Roulette Strong Ones to be judged by the Heavenly Palace?

And what exactly was the invitation letter? Could it be that all the millennium era’s strongest immortal tier strong ones were invited to the Heavenly Palace? It seemed that only the Heavenly Palace had the capability to gather ten era strong ones together.

The Fox Elder lifted his head while stroking his beard and said, “On the way, I discovered many creatures that don’t belong to this territory of ours.”

“Are you referring to the Sky Demons?” Chu Mu asked.

Princess Jinrou had already informed Chu Mu about the rampant activities of the Sky Demons, which also puzzled Chu Mu greatly.

Since the Sky Demons were a race powerful enough to threaten the existence of the Heavenly Palace, then if these entities appeared on Human Land, and if they fed on humans, they would surely become natural enemies to humanity.

The solar eclipse duration was still unknown, and if the Sky Demons traversed through the Dark Night and solar eclipse, it would be extremely difficult for people to take effective measures to prevent and counter them.

“Oh, have you seen such monsters?” the Raccoon Elder Li asked.

“Yeah, I’ve seen them in the Heavenly Palace.”

“These are rather unusual monsters, their reproduction rate seems exceptionally fast, and their growth metamorphosis appears to defy the ten rank ten stage principle,” the Raccoon Elder Li said.

“Defy the ten rank ten stage growth metamorphosis rule??” Chu Mu was taken aback.

From Chu Mu’s understanding of Soul Pets, apart from those tiny beings that can’t even be classified as Soul Pets, all creatures in this world adhered to the ten rank ten stage growth standard, including humans.

For humans, the ten rank ten stage could generally be represented by age; thirty years old is a completely mature benchmark. If one cannot cultivate to a certain level before the age of thirty, unless there are vast resources and unique encounters, it would be difficult for strength to break through significantly.

Humans are also Soul Pets, this point Elder Li has mentioned many times. However, the ability humans possess is to communicate with other Soul Pets and tame them.

Thinking about it, except for the derived entities from the matrilineal tribe’s mother, there seems to be no other creatures in this world that do not follow the ten rank ten stage growth rule.

Matrilineal tribe beings refer to Soul Pets that are born directly from the mother without undergoing reproduction. Chu Mu remembered that in Li City, the long claw demon spirits controlled by the Mother of a Hundred were precisely such derivatives.

Chu Mu pondered, could it be that these Sky Demons flying around in Human Land searching for food are the derived entities?

If they were derivatives, their hunting was surely for their mother, so what exactly was the mother of the Sky Demons??

“This answer can probably only be known once we reach the Heavenly Palace,” the Raccoon Elder Li said, leisurely stroking his beard, “By the way, the sea tribe’s envoys should be arriving soon, right?”

“Are you talking about the Mermaid Clan?” Chu Mu asked.

“Yes, usually before and after a solar eclipse, we envoys will meet. This time we’ve set the meeting place at your location,” the Raccoon Elder Li said.

“At my place? But I’m not the human envoy.” Chu Mu felt a bit baffled.

“The human envoys are what you call the Imperial Clan; they serve the Heavenly Palace.”

…

Just as the Raccoon Elder Li said, shortly afterward, Fishman Princess Lan Qie indeed appeared.

Usually, older merfolk with more senior positions would participate in this envoys’ meeting, but considering that Fishman Princess Lan Qie was quite familiar with Chu Mu, the East Sea Merfolk King had thus assigned Fishman Princess Lan Qie to handle the envoys’ meeting this time.

Of course, Chu Mu’s Little Huangquan had returned together as well.

“You~~~~~~~~~”

Little Huangquan swam to Chu Mu’s side, affectionately rubbing against the back of Chu Mu’s hand.

Chu Mu petted this Little Huangquan who was still like a child, and looked at Fishman Princess Lan Qie.

“Are you saying the Huangquan Emperor already knows?” Fishman Princess Lan Qie asked.

“Did he say whether he agreed or not?”

“The Emperor said nothing, he only asked me to convey to you that our sea tribe remains an ally with you,” Fishman Princess Lan Qie replied.

Chu Mu scratched his head, this intention of the Huangquan Emperor was somewhat unclear, could it really just leave the Ancient Jiao Person rampant between Henghai and Human Land like this??

“In any case, congratulations on becoming the millennium strong one of the new era,” Fishman Princess Lan Qie lifted a gentle and beautiful smile, with a bit more special admiration in her gaze towards Chu Mu.

“A mere coincidence…” Chu Mu said.

That undying, that divine title, ultimately is given by others.

“On the path of cultivation, indeed there are many coincidences, but stepping into the immortal tier is no coincidence, either it’s destiny, or you’ve already stood out from the crowd, I presume before you stepped into the immortal tier, you were already the strongest existence in the Human Domain,” the Raccoon Elder affirmed seriously.

This point Chu Mu had no reason to deny; most of his Soul Pets had reached high-level immortality, and his own demonized strength was also peak immortal, so he should indeed be the strongest in the Human Domain. After all, the Soul Pets of those human leaders merely matched the strength of one of his many Soul Pets.

“In this millennium, there will definitely be Undying level energy flowing into someone’s body. Since you are already the strongest, becoming this Undying means you are sufficiently prepared,” said Raccoon Elder.

“Furthermore, not everyone can become Undying. Even if they have a vast amount of Undying level energy right in front of them… Ning Man’er’s World Ancestor Tree power nurturing has subtly qualified your soul and body to accept this God-level power,” said Fishman Princess Lan Qie.

Chu Mu did not expect there to be so many intricacies involved. At this time, Fox Elder, hiding in Chu Mu’s Space Ring, unwilling to come out, suddenly realized, “Young Master, could it be for this reason that Yu Suo gave up those energies, bestowing them entirely upon you?”

Chu Mu didn’t realize he would step into the Undying level, nor did he know there was a certain connection with Ning Man’er.

However, thinking about it, Ning Man’er inherits the power of the World Ancestor Tree. While her gradual nurturing hasn’t necessarily enhanced her strength further, it has indeed laid a solid foundation for accepting Undying level power. After all, once Ning Man’s strength is complete, she might have long since produced an Undying level Strong One…

Of course, one would have to wait until her power reaches the true level of the World Monarch Tree, which is likely in the next era.

“Then what about the other envoys, the Flower Clan, Beast Clan, Ghost Clan…” Chu Mu asked.

“Them… They might not be our friends,” said Raccoon Elder.

It seems there are apparent conflicts between the different clans.

“This time we came partly to tell you some things about the era and roulette, and partly to determine your stance,” Raccoon Elder said seriously.

“Stance?” Chu Mu didn’t quite understand what Raccoon Elder meant.

Fishman Princess Lan Qie gently explained, “You should know the existence of the Heavenly Palace. They are the real rulers of this World. However, in our view, they only govern order and Time, not gods superior to us.”

“They possess immense power and have numerous Undying level Strong Ones. However, these Undying level Strong Ones have their own duties and rarely involve themselves in era and roulette disputes.”

“So, purely from the Undying level perspective, in terms of camps, the Demon Ancestor and Emperor stand together. Our Sea Race and the Demon Race have always maintained good relations. The Ancient Beast God from the Fourth Era was also part of our camp.”

“Next, the nightmare demon of the Nightmare Demon Clan and the Underworld Ghost Master of the Ghost Clan are one camp, which includes the strongest Six Elemental Master of the Eighth Era.”

“Then, Flower Clan’s Queen Naihe and Beast Clan’s Nine Nether Demon Head form a camp.”

“Lastly, there is the Heavenly Palace camp, which is undoubtedly the strongest.”

Chu Mu felt puzzled why such camp divisions appear among the Undying level. In his view, these Undying level Strong Ones should have little squabble.

Regarding conflicts among clans, it seems that even those who have transcended the Undying level might not necessarily handle them personally.

At this point, Chu Mu also voiced his doubts.

“This is the relation of the Ten Thousand Year Roulette. Among ten era Strong Ones, one will definitely emerge as a Ten Thousand Year Roulette level Strong One. The new Ten Thousand Year Roulette will be bestowed with the power to control life.”

“This life is not only one’s own long-lived, nearly eternal longevity but also the ability to grant life to others, and even revive those who have died but whose soul is preserved.”

Revival…

This is the power Chu Mu and Bai Yu have been seeking.

Indeed, countless powerful creatures in this World are also searching for this revival and life-extending power.

It’s just that Chu Mu did not expect that this resource is controlled by the Ten Thousand Year Roulette level Strong One.

Undying level does not equate to eternal life, which means whoever becomes the Ten Thousand Year Roulette controls the lives of other Undying level Strong Ones. Because when their Undying level Strength and life slowly exhaust, they can only submit to the person controlling their life.

“All beings cultivate for the strongest power. After reaching the peak of power, they realize the world’s strongest force is Time…” Chu Mu sighed.

Indeed, time is the greatest enemy of all beings.

No matter how strong the power is, it seems so powerless before Time.

Chu Mu has realized this because he felt quite fearful upon seeing even a little trace of Time on the people around him.

“The Totem Goddess only governs one thing…”

“That is Time.”

Suddenly, Chu Mu recalled a sentence Yu Suo once said in the Heavenly Palace.

Remember, during the covenant, Yu Suo stated she could provide life for those beside her…

This means, Yu Suo also possesses the “Time” controlled by the Ten Thousand Year Roulette level Strong One!

Perhaps, this is why so many people inexplicably follow her, becoming her subordinates or servants. Even if she controls just a little bit of “Time,” to those Strong Ones, this is the most treasured life!
