The Vanished People

The Immortal Alliance could only speculate about every action of the immortals based on the scant information obtained from the banished immortals and the dragon race, as well as the traits animals shared.

Yet that tiny scrap of information alone was enough to make one's hair stand on end.

The immortals' world was absolutely not peaceful, joyous, or carefree.

On the contrary, the ultimate picture of this universe suggested that relations between immortals were far from pleasant.

An immortal had finally attained immortality and broken free from time's restraints upon life. What would he do next?

Perhaps some immortals truly retired into seclusion to live happy lives. Since this "group" lacked common traits, no manner of "singularity" would be surprising. But judging from the "habits" of the Ancient Method Cultivators of the God Continent and the various actions of the banished immortals, what they wanted next was power.

While mortals, people could shout, "A thousand great paths, ten thousand arts—I ask only one question: can they grant immortality?" But immortals who had already gained eternal life needed even more power to defend the fruit of immortality in their hands.

That required them to be stronger than anyone else.

"Stronger than anyone else" was actually very difficult. This universe had existed for more than forty billion years. Over such a timescale, how many immortals could have been born? And how powerful were the oldest immortals still alive?

If the accumulation of an immortal's strength was a linear process, then even if that growth was extremely slow, it would still be enough for many powerful beings to emerge.

Of course, many immortals did not know this. But they traveled through countless heavens and earths. They ought to know how ancient the universe was.

If they treated those hypothetical "ancient relics" as enemies,
