Heaven? No, this is a cage called eternal life.

In less than half a breath, the person had already appeared before Li Yan.

The man was dressed in a luxurious purple robe, his silver hair fluttering in the wind, and he exuded an aura of stars from head to toe.

Li Yan stared intently and determined that he should be the Purple Micro Star Lord, one of the four emperors of the Old Heavenly Court.

The other party seemed to have anticipated his arrival, and before Li Yan could speak, he explained his purpose.

"I observe the celestial phenomena, the star orbits flow, Purple Micro descends, you have arrived."

Li Yan was secretly shocked, not expecting the other party to have predicted his arrival.

Worthy of being one of the four emperors, judging from his title, he should be the master in charge of the stars in the sky.

He could deduce celestial phenomena and predict that Li Yan would come to this place.

However, since the other party had predicted his arrival, could he also figure out Li Yan's purpose?

Facing the Purple Micro Star Lord, one of the four emperors, Li Yan cupped his fist respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Your Excellency, Star Lord, can you calculate the purpose of my visit?"

The Purple Micro Star Lord did not put on any superior airs, his tone was calm, like a friend.

"Ha, this young friend has hit the nail on the head."

"This Star Lord deduced that an outsider would enter this Abyss of the Netherworld, but I couldn't deduce the identity of this young friend."

"Presumably, young friend you..."

The Purple Micro Star Lord was silent for a moment, not saying the words.

He pinched his fingers and calculated, "No matter how this Star Lord calculates, I can't deduce the identity of this young friend, nor the purpose of this trip."

The Heavenly Soldier next to him, and the Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao, both showed expressions of astonishment on their faces.

It should be said that in this Old Heavenly Court, the Purple Micro Star Lord could deduce the fate through the stars, and as long as he wanted to, he could deduce the person's past and present life.

But only on Li Yan, the Purple Micro Star Lord mobilized the power of the stars, and no matter how he calculated, he could not calculate Li Yan's fortune.

"Well, young friend is very special."

"In this world, only Ancient Gods can interfere with my deductions."

"And you, do not possess a Divine Spark, yet this Star Lord cannot observe you through the stars."

Obviously, the Purple Micro Star Lord felt curious about Li Yan's arrival.

But he was not afraid, because this place was the Abyss of the Netherworld.

No one would die, people could not harm each other, there was only endless time stagnation.

Compared to the Purple Micro Star Lord's curiosity about Li Yan, Li Yan was more eager to get things done.

His physical body was targeted by the immortals of the White Jade Capital, and his search for the Old Heavenly Court was to bring this group of people back to the cultivation world to confront the White Jade Capital.

Without playing any roundabout games, he directly cut to the chase.

"The seal on the periphery of the Abyss of the Netherworld has been broken by me."

"Everyone in the Old Heavenly Court can return to the cultivation world at any time."

After Li Yan finished speaking, the Purple Micro Star Lord was stunned for a moment, then covered his face and chuckled.

"Young friend."

"It's rare for you to come here, this Star Lord can take you on a tour of the Heavenly Court."

"Follow me."

Seeing that this Great Emperor seemed to be avoiding something, Li Yan directly retorted, "The entrance to the outside world has been opened by me."

"What if the people from the White Jade Capital find out and block you again?"

"What? Don't you want to leave this place?"

Hearing Li Yan's words, the Purple Micro Star Lord and several Heavenly Soldiers exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

"Young friend, if we wanted to go out, we would have gone out long ago."

"All living beings in this Abyss of the Netherworld are immortal and indestructible, transcending reincarnation, and truly achieving eternity!"

"Immortals, gods, what are you and I pursuing?"

"Isn't it transcendence from life and death?"

The Purple Micro Star Lord raised his long sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and raised his head to look directly at Li Yan.

What he said made a lot of sense.

What is the purpose of cultivating immortality?

Isn't it to transcend time and transcend reincarnation?

All living beings in the Abyss of the Netherworld, regardless of age or cultivation level, have become immortal beings.

As long as they stay in this Abyss of the Netherworld, they don't have to worry about their lifespan running out.

The Purple Micro Star Lord, with his head held high, began to discuss the Dao with Li Yan, instilling his Dao into Li Yan.

He spoke in a loud, impassioned voice.

"Everything in the universe will one day exhaust its lifespan. The golden crows in the sky burn for billions of years, but will eventually collapse and dissipate."

"In the vast world, at every moment, a world disappears into the eternal darkness."

"Even if you have billions of years of life, you will eventually not escape the fate of death."

"But here in the Abyss of the Netherworld, regardless of your identity or cultivation, every living being, even as insignificant as an ant, is granted the equal right to eternal life."

With that, the Purple Micro Star Lord raised his index finger, and several shimmering blue firefly butterflies landed on it.

The blue butterflies flowed with beautiful light. The Purple Micro Star Lord gently stroked them. "You see, in this place, all beings are equal."

Listening to the Purple Micro Star Lord's words, Li Yan fell into a brief trance.

This place...

Here, everyone is immortal, and all things are equal.

Even the ants crawling on the ground have the right to eternal life.

Isn't this the paradise that cultivators seek?

After a moment of absent-mindedness, Li Yan shook his head vigorously.

"That's not right."

"This place... is not a paradise."

Li Yan's words surprised the Purple Micro Star Lord, and his slender white eyebrows rose.

"Oh? This Star Lord would like to hear what brilliant insights this young friend has."

Li Yan looked around, surveying this small world of the Abyss of the Netherworld.

"This place is a prison called eternal life."

"Everyone in the Abyss of the Netherworld is forever imprisoned here."

"Stars shine because they move, and flowers and trees have beauty because they wither and flourish. You have locked away the sunrise and sunset, and turned breathing into a repetitive pendulum—this eternal stillness is just a tombstone painted with 'eternal life,' where even decay is a luxury."

"Like a frog at the bottom of a well, you can only ever see this small world."

"If this is eternal life, then I would rather rot than stay in this prison."

When Li Yan said these words, not only the Heavenly Soldiers, but even the Purple Micro Star Lord's pupils trembled slightly.

This young Taoist had spoken a cruel truth.

In the Abyss of the Netherworld, even death was a luxury.

They were gradually losing their will in a prison called eternal life.

"The dignified Old Heavenly Court has been reduced to rats in the sewers."

"You claim to have attained eternal life, but you are trapped in this small world."

"Star Lord? Heavenly Emperor? I think it's a joke. How dare fireflies in a well compete with the bright moon and stars?"

Li Yan's series of blunt words made the Purple Micro Star Lord feel ashamed.

Behind him, the Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao looked at Li Yan with increasingly fiery eyes.

"I didn't expect my Ancient Dragon clan to have such eloquence?"

"What he said makes so much sense. He made that group of human immortals feel ashamed, haha."

The huge Ancient Dragon wagged its tail. Li Yan's series of words made Ao Jiao feel great.

However, facing reality, the Purple Micro Star Lord fell silent for a while before saying coldly.

"You speak lightly, young friend."
