Chương 124: Witness of the Era (Finale)

Su Chen obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land without the slightest effort. It included a powerful ancient saint scripture and the secret method by which the Sacred Land's Sacred Sons had turned their very bodies into swords. He spent a hundred years comprehending it and gained profound insight. His martial dao grew even more complete. Su Chen returned to the Wang family and sealed himself away. Five thousand years later, he was awakened.

A new genius had emerged in the Wang family and was preparing to break through to the Saint King realm. Su Chen stood guard for him until the breakthrough succeeded.

"Perhaps it is time for me to pursue my own martial dao path." After entrusting the Wang family to that Saint King descendant and leaving behind his own Saint King artifact as the clan's foundation, Su Chen set out alone into the starry expanse beyond the domains. He sought the methods of the myriad races. Different species walked different paths, and the road Su Chen chose was to fuse those countless paths into one invincible dao. He traversed many places and explored numerous ruins. A thousand years passed.

Su Chen found himself fleeing pursuit. Several Saint King powerhouses from different races chased him across star domains.

"All I did was borrow a few cultivation methods. Is that really worth such pettiness? Stately Saint Kings, and yet not a shred of magnanimity." Su Chen shook his head at the frenzied Saint Kings of various races snapping at his heels like mad dogs. After decades of evasion, he finally shook them off. His name spread across many star systems because of it—though the reputation was far from flattering. Su Chen maintained that it was all slander!

Notably, he had been traveling with Hu Miaomiao the entire time, wandering among the various races. But no matter how careful one was, walking along the river eventually led to wet shoes. In the end, he was exposed, and the powerful began to hunt him. Clearly, he could not act openly for a while. Su Chen turned his gaze toward the forbidden zones. When Hu Miaomiao learned of his plan to enter one, she clung desperately to his leg in terror.

"Master… the forbidden zones are too dangerous. Why don't we just return to the Heavenly Profound Domain?" Under Su Chen's constant nurturing over the years, Hu Miaomiao had broken through to the Saint realm a century earlier. Su Chen rolled his eyes, then carried her straight into the forbidden zone.

"The forbidden zones really are very dangerous…" Su Chen nodded in agreement. He chose one without a residing Supreme. Inside, he encountered terrifying killing formations, yet they failed to stop him. He even found a maturing sacred herb… only to be chased out by several Saint Kings of the zone. One even wielded a Great Saint weapon. Su Chen had no choice but to retreat for the time being. He continued to wander, witnessing the brilliance of countless different civilizations.

In the end, he paused above an ancient planet. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. His once-saintly body now radiated decay. His full head of black hair had turned stark white.

"Miaomiao, do you still remember the way back to the Heavenly Profound Domain?" Hu Miaomiao crouched beside him. After so many years traveling together, she understood his condition better than anyone.

"Master, let Miaomiao accompany you into one more forbidden zone. We'll return to the Heavenly Profound Domain together." Su Chen shook his head. He knew his own body best.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back… If you are willing, take my corpse back to the Wang family. Tell them not to bury it. Instead, refine it into a weapon. In a critical moment in the future, it might protect the Wang family for a time. And if you cannot return to the Heavenly Profound Domain, you may eat my corpse. I won't blame you." A weary smile appeared on Su Chen's aged face. Hu Miaomiao wept uncontrollably.

"In this life, I have borne witness to two great eras. That is enough to leave me without regrets." The era of Divine Evolution Great Emperor had not yet faded when the era of Invincible Great Emperor began. Across two consecutive great eras, Su Chen had served as their witness. Having weathered storms and tempests, he lived eight thousand years before finally passing peacefully at the end of his lifespan. Three years later, Su Chen closed his eyes for the last time and departed this world.

A tiger saint carried his aged body, step by step, toward the direction of the Heavenly Profound Domain. … Inside the Reverse Fate Space, Su Chen felt as though he had just awakened from an immensely long dream. Eight thousand years of life—this was longer than any of his previous existences… even longer than the sum of his first nine lives combined. [Tenth Life: You were born the second son of the Wang family. You had an elder brother endowed with the qualifications to become a Great Emperor, and you were fortunate enough to be born into a truly golden era, an age when stars shone with unparalleled brilliance.] [You refused to live forever as a mere backdrop to your brother's legend. In your youth, you resolutely left the clan and set out to forge your own path.] [You swept aside the prodigies of the Southern Barbarian Lands of the Heavenly Profound, leaving no one daring to challenge you. Even the monsters of the previous era cast sidelong glances your way. In the great battle of the Eastern Wasteland, you were defeated by a former invincible figure, yet from that loss, you gained a true friend and began to walk your own dao. You established a foothold in the great era.] [In Central Continent, you witnessed what true Great Emperor potential looked like. For a time, you even believed the imperial destiny of this age belonged to the Wang family. While Wang Yunfei battled along the path to the Emperor, you anchored the Wang clan. You yearned for the starry expanse, yet you understood that place was not meant for you in this life. Being the patriarch of the Wang family suited you far better.] [Thereafter, your life was filled with twists and turns.] [Divine Evolution Great Emperor feigned death and drew out the forbidden-zone Supremes. In a single war, he slew four Supremes, forcing the forbidden zones to bow their heads. You bore witness to that historic moment.] [The Spirit Divine King you had once suspected would revive did indeed awaken, attempting to seize the imperial destiny—only to be besieged by all sides and defeated once more. That lesson stayed with you forever.] [Your old acquaintance seized the opportunity and proved the Dao. The heavenly mandate did not rest with the Wang family after all, but with your former friend Fang Bubai. You personally witnessed the glorious ascensions of two Great Emperors; two magnificent eras connected seamlessly. What you once thought would be an early death in the chaos of the age instead rekindled your will to live.] [In the great era, you chose to pursue your own path. After waiting for the Wang family to raise a new Saint King, you resolutely departed the clan and the Heavenly Profound Domain. You ventured forth to behold the splendor of the myriad races and witness the brilliance of different civilizations.] [In this life, you became the witness beneath the great era—observing the dazzling heights of prosperity, yet also stirring storms that left many races gnashing their teeth in hatred. In the end, you passed away peacefully amid that flourishing age.] [Evaluation: Four Stars (Purple)] [Reward: 40000 Reverse Fate Points]
