Sushang Chang has learned something new; she's Eternity have such wondrous uses.

"Very good, no need to return to Realm-Keeping Commission, continue the mission... According to the laws of the [ Ten-Lords Commission ], as a judge, I do not involve outside help." Xueyi said gratefully.

"But since you helped me escape, I have a piece of advice: leave as soon as possible."

"I have come here to set things right and apprehend the wanted criminal... the Stellaron Hunters. This man possesses extraordinary swordsmanship, wields a divine weapon, and is extremely dangerous."

"If it weren't for this strange turn of events, my lifespan might have been cut short."

Sushang looked puzzled. "A strange... change?"

"Follow me." Looking around, Xueyi led the group to an open space and pointed to the Ambrosial Arbor was emitting an eerie light not far away.

"I've never seen anything like this before."

"Wow! This is the Ambrosial Arbor of Luofu? This is the first time I've ever seen one," Sushang and Xueyi said at the same time.

"Miss Sushang Chang... aren't you Cloud Knights?"

" The Cloud Knights wouldn't specifically go to see [ Ambrosial Arbor ], and besides, I haven't been here long... Our Yaoqing's Plagues Author is a moon, tsk tsk~ I think it's prettier than Luofu's."

Luocha asked, "I heard that the [ Ambrosial Arbor ] tree has long since withered and decayed... how could it suddenly grow and spread?"

"It's the [ Stellaron ] evil spirit at work; there's no other explanation. We must return to the Ten-Lords Commission as soon as possible. Thanks to this elf girl, all my injuries have healed, so I won't ask you for a ride."

" Stellaron..." Fulisina frowned, pointing to [ Ambrosial Arbor ], "Is it over there?"

Xueyi nodded in response, "Staying here is not safe enough. You all need to come with me. Once we find the Starskiff Chariot Ferry, you will be free to move around."

Sushang understood; Xueyi wanted them to leave the perilous Artisanship Commission as soon as possible.

She suddenly hesitated, casting a pleading look at Xueyi: "Hiss... does this count as helping the Ten-Lords Commission with a case?"

Everyone on Luofu Mountain has an obligation to help the Ten-Lords Commission solve cases, but now... it seems like they are unilaterally rescuing the judges of the Ten-Lords Commission.

"Sigh~ I never expected that such a simple journey would be fraught with so many twists and turns. It seems we're once again working for the Ten-Lords Commission." Luocha raised his head. As the culprit who brought the Stellaron into Luofu, he had to be careful not to reveal any flaws.

Beside him, an Emanator was staring at him—someone he had never encountered before, [ Eternity ].

"The rebirth of Ambrosial Arbor will inevitably bring many troubles. The Cloud Knights is stationed at Alchemy Commission, which is adjacent to Ambrosial Arbor. Just head there." As soon as Xueyi pointed out the direction to everyone, Fulisina conjured up a teleportation portal with her hand.

According to this puppet judge, since there was turmoil in the [ Stellaron ], she could not sit idly by.

Before anyone could react, Fulisina lightly tapped the void, and a portal enveloped them.

"Hey hey hey... this thing is automatic?!"

Sushang was complaining when, in the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the Alchemy Commission, coffin and all.

Earlier, inside the Divination Commission a place name), at the center of the Matrix of Prescience...

Even a [ Aeon ] can be killed.

Xing paused, doubting the truth of those words, a terrifying thought forming in her mind, "Your Script... could it be about killing the Aeon?"

"Ha, how could that be? That's not our wish. I just want to tell you some things that happened: the story of those fallen Aeon." Kafka smiled. What was this child thinking?

"The Permanence dragon, the Beauty Idrila, the Order Ena, the Propagation Tayzzyronth, and... the Trailblaze Akivili."

"These were once names that resounded throughout the world... Now, they have all vanished, leaving only Path without a master."

She took a step forward, drawing closer to the star. "As far as humanity knows, there are three ways to cause the [ Aeon ] to fall."

Kafka stepped back. "First, collisions will occur between Path that overlap in concept. The broader Path will swallow the narrow one— the Ena of [ Order ] is thus assimilated by the Xipe of [ Harmony ]."

"Secondly, the divine war between Aeon Aeon. The stronger side will destroy the weaker side... This is the fall of [ Propagation ] Tayzzyronth, and also the Xianzhou Alliance's journey across the star sea under the guidance of [ The Hunt ] to exterminate the evil creature of [ Abundance ] Nurturing."

"... the ultimate goal," she added.

Why did the Xianzhou want to kill [ Abundance ]?

"As far as I know, the Alliance's predecessors were the 'Medicine Seekers,' Seekers of the Elixir Yaoshi and craving blessings. They successfully met the Aeon and received the blessing that could heal the dead: Ambrosial Arbor."

Kafka turned around and pointed to the towering tree not far away.

"As a result, the curse of immortality corrupted them. Then the [ The Hunt ] appeared and cleaved the Ambrosial Arbor in two with a single arrow. From then on... to sever the curse of immortality from the Star Sea, the Alliance followed the [ The Hunt ] in pursuit of the Yaoshi's trail."

"It is said that [ Eternity ] was also involved..."

"Ah?"

Seeing Xing's puzzled look, Kafka chuckled, " The Hunt, the Hunt, patrolling and chasing. Do you think this counts as a different kind of ' Eternity '?"

"Hmm, it seems that's really true..."

Xing had never seemed to have thought about this before.

"So, does that mean everything can be considered ' Eternity '? That's a bit perverse!" she suddenly realized.

At the same time, Ye Yan was watching the show not far away, sneezed.

"Why did Kafka suddenly float into the air?" March 7th's focus is always so strange.

The camera pans forward, and Kafka and Star begin discussing other Aeon: "Hmm~ Speaking of [ Permanence ] dragons, do you know about Vidyadhara?"

Xing nodded, recalling the dragon girl Bailu he had met in Exalting Sanctum yesterday.

Kafka continued to guide Xing: "It is said that when Vidyadhara lives a long time, or is injured and near death, he will transform into a pearl-like egg, and then hatch into a newborn in the form of a chick."

"Furthermore, there are rumors that the Vidyadhara can transform into giant dragons..."

Kafka hinted that Nash had absolutely no interest in becoming a dragon.

" The Vidyadhara are [ Scions of the Dragon ], that is, descendants of the Aeon [ Permanence ]. Therefore, among the Vidyadhara, some have been able to transform into dragons, but not everyone has this aptitude."

"This power is a rare and precious inheritance, requiring numerous rituals and trials to receive. Even the one who inherits it can hardly be considered fortunate."

Xing nodded, seemingly understanding, "So... why do you know so much about the Vidyadhara? Is that also part of the [ Script ]?"

Kafka remained silent, while Hoshino's lips twitched. "Don't stay silent at such a crucial moment!"

"Hehe~ Have you heard the story of the [ Permanence's Dragon ] and its offspring?"

Many myths praise Him for possessing a perfect Permanence life, but for some reason, He vanished among the stars as if He had never existed... leaving only His descendants.

"Regarding this, a History Fictionologists has offered his unique perspective: [ Eternity ] has swallowed Him. Just like the first point I mentioned earlier."

"How about it, Xing? Aren't these stories fascinating? They're the kind of stories that people who walk the right path would never tell you."

"Isn't that still [ Eternity ]?!"
