This spectacle naturally did not escape the notice of the great figures outside. Those fossil-like beings whose lifespans were nearing their end were all red-eyed with envy. At their level, ordinary divine medicines were useless to them; only this most fundamental longevity substance could replenish their life energy.
"Alas."
After a long while, a long sigh drifted over. It came from a giant of the present-day imperial clan, seated within a carriage. Though he made no movement, he exuded an imposing might that cowed all living beings.
The many great figures turned to look at the imperial clan giant, unable to understand the helplessness in that sigh.
"The sages of old made deductions and glimpsed a trace of heavenly secrets. Perhaps before long, we will all have to bathe in blood and slaughter one another just to extend our lives by a few years. Things that seem insignificant now may become peerless treasures in the future."
His voice was low and somber, his tone heavy with endless melancholy.
"Is that day about to arrive?" a sect leader murmured, equally uneasy.
As giants of ancient sects, they all knew some secrets. In truth, even those who did not know the details had their suspicions. Otherwise, so many figures of sect leader level would not have come.
"Has something happened in the Border Wasteland?" a white giant tortoise slowly asked.
Everyone trembled inwardly. Even at their level, they did not know much about the Border Wasteland. To them, it was equally mysterious.
"You must understand that the reason we possess such long lives is because the Upper Realm contains longevity substance. Though it is extremely sparse, it is enough.
"If one day these substances cease to exist, do you know what that will mean?"
The master of the Heavenly Kingdom spoke coldly.
