Endless Planes.

The overall structure and scale of the Endless Planes are different from those of the Multiverse.

Because the Endless Planes were formed from the dreamlike illusion of the Eye Emperor, each plane is a small crystal wall system, while the Endless Planes themselves are a super-huge crystal wall system.

Endless planes of varying sizes float and scatter within this vast crystal system.

Because the Endless Planes are also places created by "humans", and the distance between planes is not far.

Just like the Boundless Mountains and Seas and seas, the existence of the King Mountain and Emperor Sea brings countless King Mountain relatively close together.

Instead of being like the Multiverse, where each universe is extremely far apart from the others.

These are likely due to both man-made and naturally occurring factors.

In the Endless Planes, the vast gaps between planes are called "Crystal Firmament," meaning the dome of a crystal wall system, where countless small worlds and ultra-small planes float.

Because these small planes and worlds do not have solid crystal walls on their outer perimeter, but only a thin film of the world, the influence of the Crystal Firmament extends into the world, easily giving rise to various rare resources that are unimaginable in the planes.

The powerful beings of the Endless Planes all like to travel through the Crystal Firmament after achieving a certain level of mastery.

The name "Crystal Firmament" is rumored to have originated from the Crystal Emperor.

However, whether the Crystal Emperor named himself Crystal Emperor because of the Crystal Wall System, or whether the Crystal Emperor became Empress and named it the Crystal Wall System, is no longer verifiable in history.

In any case, this was all the information Jiang Yuu obtained from these surrendered True King of Ember Court.

At the center of the Endless Planes.

The Ember Emperor Greater Plane.

The Kainuo Continent.

Emperor Alanfamos of the Kaino Empire stood atop a towering crystal tower, looking down upon his subjects with a look of pure enjoyment.

No, the term "subjects" is a thing of the past; now, these people are his slaves.

Beneath the tower, billions of beings of various races, burdened by shackles and chains and bound by their Transcendent powers, were painstakingly building an enormous altar under the scorching sun.

all the time.

People have all fallen inside this towering altar that is about to be completed.

The blood and vital energy of the dead are absorbed by the altar, and their flesh and blood are integrated into it, further enhancing the crimson aura emanating from the altar.

On this land stained with blood, people cried out in despair, utterly exhausted.

But countless overseers clad in gray armor wielded whips, driving these slaves to exhaust their last breath, until they finally collapsed inside the unfinished altar.

An elderly person was protecting their young grandson, pleading loudly.

"Please, gentlemen, my grandson is dying. Can you let him rest?"

But the whip fell mercilessly, knocking the humble old man and the child in his arms to the ground.

"Arise, work! Never rest until man dies!"

A woman, whose face was ashen but who was extremely beautiful, knelt beside a man, pleading with the gray-armored soldier.

"My lord, could you please give my husband a drink of water and some medicine? I'll do anything for you."

With difficulty, she lifted her tattered clothes, revealing a glimpse of fair skin beneath.

Some of the gray-armored soldiers were immediately tempted.

This lady was once the legitimate daughter of Transcendent family and married a young master from an Transcendent family. However, after Ember Emperor left, she was purged by Emperor Kailun and enslaved.

But his thoughts were quickly seen through by the Gray Armor Captain.

"John, if you want to be one of them, then go for it."

"The Emperor's plan cannot be delayed, not even for a second."

This was a death order from Alanfamos; he was to complete this flesh and blood altar as soon as possible, using it as a means to ascend to the status of True King.

A strong slave was carrying a huge crystal. He was a warrior of the Lofty Bear clan, but he was whipped by a gray-armored soldier and eventually fell down along with the crystal.

Meanwhile, in the surrounding area not far away, a steady stream of gray-armored soldiers continued to deliver new batches of slaves.

One of the newly arrived slaves, forced into labor, was dressed in magnificent yellow crystal robes. These robes, made from source crystal powder, were traditionally reserved for the descendants of the Crystal Emperor.

But at this moment, these nobles were filled with fear and had no idea what their future held.

Some of them cried out.

"Ember Emperor once made a pact with us, that we were also his subjects. Emperor Alanfamos, why have you turned us into slaves!"

Suddenly, a powerful figure clad in a yellow crystal robe broke free of his shackles and chains. Amidst the horrified gazes of the gray-armored soldiers, he soared into the sky and arrived before the tower, where he questioned them in a hoarse voice.

"We were once the Bloodborn of the Crystal Emperor, the most noble race in the Endless Planes, and the dominant race on this continent. We received a promise from Ember Emperor Alanmonlos to treat everyone equally. Alanfamos, why have you betrayed Ember Emperor's promise?"

Upon hearing his words, Alanfamos stopped the guards who wanted to capture and kill the powerful man in the Yellow Crystal Robe.

He looked with great interest at this descendant of the Crystal Emperor who had managed to break free of his shackles and come here, revealing a harmless smile.

"You say you were once the Sovereign of the mainland?"

"Your race was once the nobility of Endless Planes."

Alanfamos is Emberfolk. After the Ember Emperor defeated Duomeng, he followed the Ember Emperor to migrate here and became the Sovereign race on this continent.

At that time.

When Alanmonlos took over, he did indeed make an agreement with the various races of this great plane that everything would remain the same, except for the rule of the Emberfolk and the Illusionfolk.

The Ember Emperor is not bloodthirsty, but he has reached this point.

Even though these people were once Bloodborn of the Crystal Emperor and Duomeng, there was no intention to exterminate them.

He didn't hate these people either.

After all, his conflict with Duomeng was a fair and square struggle for the title of Endless Sovereign, and did not involve any members of their own race.

Everything is negotiable as long as you surrender.

Most of the Emberfolk who accompanied him did not cause any trouble for the descendants of these defeated warriors.

However, every group has people who are inherently evil and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

The Emberfolk is no exception.

Because of the Quasi-True King's strength, Alanfamos was appointed as a vassal of a certain department of the Ember Court to maintain Order within the Ember Court.

And when the Ember Emperor went on his expedition, he volunteered to stay behind.

He was a Quasi-True King, and also a member of the same clan who was closely related to Alanmonlos.

Although Alanfamos had a history of misdeeds and had been reprimanded by the Ember Emperor, he was still granted a continent as his territory.

When the Ember Emperor was around, he still adhered to some superficial rules.

But once Alanmonlos left, most of the True King of the Endless Planes also went out. As a member of the Ember Emperor's family, without anyone to restrain him, he revealed his true colors.

He began to hunt down all living beings on the Kainuo Continent to build a heavenly altar for him.

This was actually a ceremony he set up to commemorate his ascension to the rank of True King.

At this moment, seeing the Yellow Crystal Robe expert with an angry, unwilling, and resentful expression, Alanfamos felt a sense of satisfaction.

You remnants of the old era!

"Now, the nobles of the Endless Planes are our Emberfolk!"

"And we are the Sovereign of this new era!"
