The Birth of the Seed of Eternity

Inside the Emerald Royal Court, Aiwei and Varalos anxiously looked towards Sailianna, the head of the court.

"My lord, the Seed of Eternity is about to be born... How should we plan our battle now?"

Varalos spoke in a low voice, not only because Lister's soul strike had not fully recovered, but more importantly, because he now truly felt an indelible fear of Lister.

Only by truly fighting against such an enemy can one fully understand that sense of powerlessness.

Unlike a few years ago, when there was still confidence in the competition for the Seed of Emerald.

Now, her beloved daughter Aiselyn is dead, a World-Ending Level Spirit Remains Star Abyss, and the earliest Curtis has perished in the Void Corridor.

The Star Machine Civilization perished, and the Crimson Covenant had long since sided with the Machine-Slaying Federation.

He only now fully understands the series of setbacks he has faced.

As for the upcoming major event, which is also an important strategic plan that their Emerald Royal Court has been preparing since receiving intelligence tens of thousands of years ago, he now truly feels that the hope is becoming somewhat slim.

"Have you received a response from Eternal Night and the Spirit Remains Star Abyss?"

"Yes, we've already received word of it."

"Only the Silent Night and the Mist Death Monarch will come to assist in the battle."

"What!?"

As soon as Varalos finished speaking, Aiwei, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

What do they mean?

"At such a critical moment, Soren and the Spirit Remains didn't come themselves, and only sent these two people?"

In fact, it wasn't just Aiwei; dozens of other Overlord Tier elders below also had drastic changes in expression at this moment.

This great battle of the Seed of Eternity was a planned all-out war from the very beginning, and also a decisive battle between the two major alliance groups.

It should be noted that their royal court implicitly acknowledges that these two major forces will also fully commit to the battle.

Now... the support has been drastically reduced!

"And it's one thing for Mist Death to come, but what's the meaning of Silent Night coming too?"

Wasn't running away last time enough? Are you planning to run away again this time?

The news that the Silent Night King had been intimidated and fled by Lister could not be kept secret from the major powers.

Although people rarely criticize him to his face, there's no shortage of sarcastic remarks behind his back.

"More than!"

"Both Soren and the Spirit Remains have requests."

"They're supposed to be reinforcements for these two, but now they're in full command of the battle and won't obey our Emerald Royal Court's orders."

Due to his injuries, Varalos is temporarily not in charge of the royal court's administration, and is instead more involved in intelligence exchanges between different factions.

He both understood and didn't understand the current attitudes of Spirit Remains and Eternal Night.

What's clear is that both Eternal Night and Spirit Remains Star Abyss have a very clear stance: they don't want to get involved in the upcoming war. The two world- World Annihilation reinforcements are more like spectators than reinforcements.

This strange and incomprehensible attitude left him unable to understand what these two forces were thinking.

"What's the meaning?"

"Does he really intend for our Royal Court and the Void Corridor to face the Church of the End and the Machine-Slaying Federation?"

As Aiwei spoke, her voice rose in pitch.

She was equally heartbroken by her daughter's death and was determined to find an opportunity for revenge in the upcoming battle.

Who knew that the situation would change so suddenly, completely unexpectedly.

"In fact, the Void Spirits over there in the Void Corridor also wanted to avoid participating in the battle, but I firmly stopped them."

The more Varalos knew, the more powerless he felt.

Fortunately, the forces of the Void Corridor are not as tough as the Spirit Remains and Eternal Night, and cannot stand up to the Emerald Royal Court.

They grew to their current power under the protection of the royal court; they don't have that much autonomy.

Inside the royal court, the atmosphere was eerily silent.

Aiwei's face flushed red, but she was helpless.

With their current manpower, the chances of competing with the Church of the End and Lister are indeed slim.

But surely the royal court's tens of thousands of years of planning can't just go down the drain in a single day?

You must know, this is the Seed of Eternity!

Their Emerald Royal Court possesses the supreme seed that maximizes their profits.

Anyone who possesses this Seed of Eternity, after developing for tens of thousands of years, will find that even the Church of the End cannot rival their royal court in this universe.

Now that my hopes have been dashed, I can't describe how unwilling I am to accept it.

Two months later.

The Atas Star Domain, once a cold, desolate, and rocky planet, is now tightly wrapped by countless thick and thin, dark green Qingteng.

Wherever this Qingteng grows, it doesn't create fertile soil and blooming flowers, but rather forms a unique ecological environment imbued with primal vitality and resilience.

In the center of the star field, a core planet composed of several giant "nests" woven entirely from vines floats silently; that is the core coordinate locked by the Lord of Qingteng.

The entire Atas Star Domain was now like a breathing, rhythmic green nebula composed of stars and vines of life, slowly gathering an indescribable vortex of energy.

"Grown ups."

As soon as the Lord of Qingteng spoke, Lister immediately nodded in response.

The next instant, an extraordinary energy descended.

Lister sensed the familiarity of this power the instant he perceived it—it was Power of the Plane again!

Some of the laws of the universe were being rewritten in the present moment, and an "omen" arose in his mind.

The light in the entire Atas Star Domain suddenly dimmed.

This is not because the light source has gone out, but because all the energy of the starlight in space has been absorbed by the enormous vine nest at the center of the star field.

The entire star field was plunged into absolute silence and deep darkness.

Only the vine nest began to radiate a unique energy, gentle yet irresistible, from within.

Lister stood atop a giant vine leaf, his figure seemingly blending into this wondrous scene.

With that "omen," he could clearly sense that at the core of the vine nest, an indescribable, pure, and immense power was rapidly taking shape.

The new offspring of the Tree of Eternity, the Seed of Eternity, is about to hatch.

A few breaths later, Lister's perception was no longer focused on the birth of this Seed of Eternity.

Instead, it pointed towards the far distance, from which several World-Ending Level auras emanated.

Such a commotion could not be kept secret from the powerful beings at the World-Ending Level.

Far from the periphery of this core area, a Crimson spectacle spreads into this galaxy.

The three members of the Crimson Covenant, Binn, Leiersi, Arkas, were the first to enter.

The three of them gazed into the distance, nodded to Lister, and then waited quietly.

They were the first to fulfill the original vow.

A moment later, a new and powerful force appeared.

In the distant star field, the void seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand.

There was no sound of energy exploding; only a profound and utterly empty void replaced the starry sky.

Xavier, the Lord of the End, the chief archbishop of the Church of the End, and the universally acknowledged strongest being in this universe, seemed to have strolled out from the river of time.

Today, he was dressed quite formally, in a dark purple bishop's robe, holding a crystal bone staff. His face, serene with the marks of time, had eyes that were gentle to the point of being compassionate.

Judging by his face alone, it is almost impossible to associate him with the church he founded.

Behind it, several domineering Power of the End simultaneously manifested.

Zoya, Isaac, Emily, Ocas all appeared together.

The entire Church of the End has come out in force this time.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Hegemon present at the moment already possess the power to wipe out all other World Annihilation forces.

No one approached Lister; instead, they kept a distance and kept watch on him.

This is the most crucial moment.

What exactly is the Emerald Royal Court's plan? From which route will they break in? The attack and struggle are what everyone is most concerned about.

Half an hour later, the original Power of the Plane seemed to have been completely exhausted.

The Seed of Eternity is not yet fully formed, like an embryo that is only half-manifested.

The Lord of Qingteng began reciting poetry, and a power of contract appeared in his arms.

In an instant, an indescribable aura emerged.

The entire star field was shrouded in a layer of pure coldness, rationality, logic, and rules.

In a daze, a Phantom of roots appeared.

Lister's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously thought it was Sailianna.

Just as he was about to lock onto the target and strike, he noticed that the Phantom above the root system was slowly emerging.

A giant, ancient tree Phantom appeared, and a familiar, comforting power flowed into his heart.

This giant tree is the Tree of Eternity, the only known trans-universe life form, Fifth Advancement life form, to Lister.

This Phantom didn't exist for long; as soon as it appeared, it transformed into a massive Power of the Plane, directly pouring into the vine area created by the Qingteng.

Vines grew rapidly throughout the area, and with the Power of the Plane, the entire star field instantly came alive.

The energy that was already gradually absorbing and accumulating was amplified at this moment.

Moreover, the quality of this energy kept increasing until a certain moment, as if some shackles had been broken.

Lister actually sensed Power of the Plane within this mixed energy.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is the beginning of stealing the Power of the Plane of this universe.

The gestation of the Seed of Eternity has begun once again.

"Is the Emerald Royal Court not coming?"

Not far away, Emily, who had been on guard the whole time, couldn't help but complain.

Now that the time has come, if we don't come soon, the initial birth of the Seed of Eternity will come to an end.

If they were to acquire an aura imprint from Lister, the Emerald Royal Court would be out of the running in some respects.

"Maybe he's scared."

"After such a fierce battle, it's uncertain whether the Emerald Royal Court can even continue to exist. Perhaps it's better to give up."

Isaac continued to speculate and explain to himself.

As time went by, people gradually came to believe her guess.

Such established forces are ultimately able to weigh the pros and cons clearly.

Everyone understood why Sailianna wasn't coming anymore.

Only Emily's face showed a hint of disdain.

"After waiting for so many years, this is all I got?"

"It seems like their Emerald Royal Court is really finished."

As they spoke, the Seed of Eternity had already completed its initial birth.

The Lord of Qingteng was incredibly excited, and at the same time, a related contractual power was activated under her control.

An invisible contract descended upon Lister.

This is triggered from within the Seed of Eternity, and is not a mandatory binding of contractual rights and obligations.

It's more like a friendly negotiation or agreement.

The specific text was unusual and difficult for him to decipher, but its meaning could be inexplicably understood.

He protected this Seed of Eternity during its ten-year infancy period, and after the Seed of Eternity established a special barrier, he provided it with Power of the Plane for a long period of time.

Just like in the old days, Qingteng made the exact same promise to him.

Lister did not rush to sign the contract at this moment, but instead exuded Killing Intent Wave as he carefully sensed the entire Divine Rise Galaxy.

Only after confirming that no aura of World Annihilation from the Emerald Royal Court or any other hostile forces was detected did they finally imprint their aura onto the contract.

In an instant, a connection was established!

The details of the Seed of Eternity's origins and its production appeared entirely within his soul's perception, as if they were his very instinctive organs.

The birth has ended at this moment, the ownership of the Seed of Eternity has been determined, and its aura has been imprinted. Even if the Emerald Royal Court were to come again, it would be of no use.

For Lister, all that remained was the task of guarding.

"Sigh! I didn't expect that nothing actually happened."

Emily shook her head in disappointment.

However, as Xavier approached Lister, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

Putting aside Wang Yue's previous disguise as Lister, this time she truly came into contact with this new cosmic legend.

The aura was indeed exactly the same as Wang Yue's.

However, the overwhelming killing intent emanating from him, and the subtle sense of intimidation emanating from his soul, were far more astonishing than Wang Yue's.

"In that case, let's make our retreat!"

After Xavier finished speaking, Ocas added a word of advice with a smile.

"Lister, do not forget our pact!"

This Power of the Plane also includes a portion of the Church of the End.

With Lister's nod of approval, the members of the Church of the End began to evacuate.

The three World Annihilation of the Crimson Covenant breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a brief greeting with Lister, and then hurriedly left.

Each faction could not afford to be idle, and the Emerald Royal Court's performance today made them worry that their own territory might be attacked.

After watching the world -World Annihilation beings depart, Lister returned to the vicinity of the Seed of Eternity.

I wanted to observe carefully how this so-called Seed of Eternity drew upon the Power of the Plane.

In an instant, a deep, withered figure tore through space and appeared silently in the Atas Star Domain.

Lister immediately reacted, his killing intent surging, and the scarlet longsword in his hand suddenly materialized.

Sure enough! He knew things weren't that simple.

The figure before him was none other than Sailianna, the leader of the Emerald Royal Court, whom he had been keeping an eye on.

Just as he was about to send another message, he discovered that this space had been imprisoned by some other means.

The signal was completely blocked, leaving only Sailianna's cold gaze.

"You're the only one who came?"

"Isn't it a bit late to come at this time?"

Lister wasn't nervous at the moment.

He did not sense the aura of the other World Annihilation from the Emerald Royal Court; the World Annihilation auras from the Void Corridor, Eternal Night, and the Spirit Remains were all absent.

Only Sailianna was in front of him, which made Lister subconsciously assume that she had come to negotiate.

Moreover, even in a battle, if it were just her alone, Lister would have a very high chance of winning in such a one-on-one fight.

Sailianna sneered upon hearing this.

At the same time, a vast root system spreads out from its feet.

This instantly dispelled Lister's idea of negotiation.

I didn't expect he really came to challenge me to a one-on-one fight?

In the blink of an eye, the battle had begun.

The massive root system rapidly spread toward Lister, and the familiar power of Wither surged forth once more.

Lister remained unfazed and swiftly closed in with his knife.

But as he swung his sword, he discovered that the Wither power had bypassed him.

In an instant, he knew Sailianna's plan.

She wasn't after herself, but after the Seed of Eternity.

This time, however, it's not about fighting, but about Destruction.
