Chapter 551: The Divine Temple's Mission, Jade Beauty
Netherworld looked up at the Unchanging Divine Master seated high above and then glanced at the rest of the people in the great hall, "Is the Unchanging Divine Master not from the Human Clan? Therefore, the powerhouses of the Imperishable Temple, regardless of their original forms, all transform into human shapes."
The Seven Great Domain, including the masters of these Six Great Domain, are in human form because they are influenced by Taicang, without exception, all transform into human bodies, rarely revealing their true forms.
Even the lord of the True Spirit Domain, Ao Hong, a True Dragon, also takes on a human shape, although with dragon horns on his head, it is ultimately a human form.
Moreover, young True Dragon Clan members can also transform into human form, this is due to Ao Hong's use of the Open Heaven Purple Light to pass down the entire Dragon Race's heritage in the form of bloodline succession.
Taicang is human, and Netherworld and his peers have always believed that Taicang was the first person of the Land of Imperishable.
Now, Netherworld suddenly discovers, perhaps the Unchanging Divine Master is also human!
He is the first person of the Land of Imperishable!
Otherwise, why would the powerhouses of the Imperishable Temple, without exception, take on human forms?
Even though some features are peculiar, like the scorpion tail of Night Princess, they are still in human form, human-shaped.
Taicang influenced them, the Unchanging Divine Master influenced the Imperishable Temple, influencing people like Night Princess was also inevitable.
The Unchanging Divine Master is carrying out arrangements in the Imperishable Temple for the Next Era. Dousan, Night Princess, and others are all listening respectfully.
Netherworld had many doubts in his mind, but he knew his position, as he ultimately aligned himself with them and was once an enemy. Blood Demon was not within the Divine Temple, and he had no real relationships with the others, so even though he had countless questions, he dared not ask them.
Finally, the Unchanging Divine Master finished speaking.
Among the masters of Domain in the great hall, there were also those full of questions. At this moment, someone asked out loud.
"Divine Master, what does the Next Era mean?"
Netherworld's spirits lifted - finally, he was about to get an answer.
The Unchanging Divine Master spoke slowly, "Era, the measurement of years in the Land of Imperishable is the only method to measure time here. The Next Era means entering the next epoch within the Land of Imperishable."
Some who did not understand the implication of the Next Era were suddenly enlightened - so the Land of Imperishable also had epochs. But how to determine when the Next Era is approaching?
Netherworld also pondered this.
"Divine Master, how do we know when the Next Era is coming? The Land of Imperishable has always been murky and unclear, unlike the Domain where the night and day are distinct, and the number of days is clear, enabling one to know how many days and years have passed."
The master of Domain who had just asked, again spoke up doubtfully.
Before the appearance of the Seven Great Domain, they knew no count of years, months, and days in the Domain. Time in the Land of Imperishable was measured by the lifespan of certain True Spirits as a reference for how much time had passed.
When venturing out, one would carry a True Spirit along, and when this True Spirit died, it was used to judge how much time had passed. The True Spirits used for this time measurement were not strong, had short lifespans, but were numerous.
This was once a common method of calculating time in the Imperishable Temple, like agreeing to return to the Imperishable Temple after a certain number of True Spirits had died, until the appearance of the Seven Great Domain, when they learned about the years, months, and days of the Domain, and thereby counted time.
In the Land of Imperishable, time passed was also referenced against years, months, and days.
Therefore, when the Unchanging Divine Master said there was a method of time measurement in the Land of Imperishable, it was inevitably puzzling.
The voice of the Unchanging Divine Master deepened slightly, "In the Land of Imperishable, every once in a while, a beam of light would pierce the Chaos, and from this beam of light as the beginning, to the appearance of the next beam of light, marks an Era;
"When the next beam of light appears, it will be the Next Era."
Upon hearing this, Netherworld abruptly lifted his head, staring in shock at the Unchanging Divine Master.
In his mind's eye, the vision of that Open Heaven Purple Light emerged, the first time they witnessed a beam of light piercing the Chaos Primordial Land.
From that beam of light, a new epoch in the Land of Imperishable began.
This meant, they have not yet spanned a full Era since the creation of their world!
Since the Unchanging Divine Master knew of this method of measuring epochs, it meant he had lived through at least two epochs.
A veritable ancient relic!
Had the Unchanging Divine Master also acquired Open Heaven Purple Light? Perhaps more than once?
No wonder his power was unfathomably deep.
Dousan and Night Princess were not much weaker than him; had they also acquired the Open Heaven Purple Light, after all, they had existed through at least one Era!
"Open Heaven Purple Light?"
Netherworld asked in shock.
The Unchanging Divine Master looked at Netherworld. "Soon after that purple light, you all created the Domain. How exactly did Taicang create the Domain?"
Netherworld was startled - he had assumed the Unchanging Divine Master should know how the Domain was created, but now it seemed he did not!
"Purple light!"
Netherworld stated gravely, "Taicang created the Domain with it, and all our Domain creations were with Taicang's assistance. I do not fully understand the specific manner of creation."
The Unchanging Divine Master did not show whether he believed what was said, and he did not continue to inquire about the creation of the Domain, and instead commented, "That beam of light is not fixed; it might be white, red, or green. This Era's light is purple, what color the light will be in the Next Era, however, remains unknown."
Netherworld was shocked. The Unchanging Divine Master had existed for more than four Eras—no wonder his strength was so formidable.
"Could it be that each beam of light has different uses for living beings?"
Netherworld wondered to himself.
However, he did not voice this question. For some reason, he had a premonition that the Unchanging Divine Master and his followers had perhaps not captured the purple light. Experience new stories with My Virtual Library Empire
