Chapter 485: The Third Fated Battle (Part 8)

Five more eras have passed.
Su Chen's cultivation has once again reached the Immortal King realm.
He then departed this world.
Ling Jiuxiao sensed the fluctuations of Su Chen's departure and fell into slumber once more.
Time flies, but this remains his unwavering belief and mission.
On the battlefield, as Su Chen, the Immortal King of this world, rejoined the fray,
unfamiliar auras appeared in a very short time.
The Immortal Kings on the 'Calamity' side were not fools. In fact, in the world ruled by Immortal King Xuan Yi for so many years, the competition among Immortal Kings had always been brutal. Even though 'Calamity' could create Immortal King positions existing only in memory, and everything from the past could be erased, 'Calamity' possessed methods to control those Immortal King positions.
Therefore... the further they progressed, the less Su Chen and his companions were fighting against these Immortal Kings of 'Calamity,' and more against those Immortal Kings who had once hindered 'Calamity's' arrival and were thus rejected, unable to bear the 'Calamity's' descent into the world!
This was a cruel truth, one that Immortal King Xuanyi hadn't told Su Chen and the others. This was why he was certain Su Chen and his companions would ultimately fail. However, he also had his own thoughts; he was different from those 'mediocre' individuals!
Even though his involvement could quickly tip the scales, Immortal King Xuanyi didn't immediately intervene.
Meanwhile, the Immortal Kings on the 'Calamity' side began to notice Su Chen's unpredictable nature. They shifted from a passive to an active stance, searching for the secret behind the continuous influx of Immortal Kings.

Within the Reversal of Fate Space
Those who become Immortal Kings aren't fools.
Su Chen naturally understood this as well. His unusual behavior would eventually be exposed to the 'Calamity' side's Immortal Kings.
Next, the 'Calamity' side's Immortal Kings would inevitably try to destroy the world formed by the witnesses.
He had anticipated all of this.
Su Chen calmly opened the Book of Reversal of Fate. The calculation showed exactly ten million Reversal of Fate Points. Su Chen didn't care; even if it was just an ordinary Immortal King, so what?
By cultivating a foundation for countless lifetimes and forging his own body, he could rival top-tier Immortal Kings… He would definitely have to present a grand gift to his old friend, Immortal King Xuan Yi, then.
In a flash, Su Chen stepped into a new cycle of reincarnation.
........
Within the myriad realms
In the previous era, a major event occurred within the myriad realms.
An incomparably vast world opened its barrier, and the myriad realms were now under invasion.
Moreover, it was confirmed that a True Immortal existed in that alien realm… Fortunately, just as the myriad realms were about to be destroyed, a figure stepped forward within the Mountain and River Sect—the 139th Sect Master, Ancestor Jiu Xiao. He single-handedly transformed into a force of order, hindering the True Immortal's attack!
Within the myriad realms, in a certain place…
A black and gold figure murmured, "My lord, my lord, you must appear quickly. If you don't appear soon, I, the little dragon, will not be able to hold on much longer."
Since the other realms realized they couldn't control the current heavens in a short time, powerful figures from those realms have been loudly proclaiming their advantages, recruiting powerful individuals from the current heavens to join them. Many powerful individuals have joined, including Long Jue Shen... or more precisely, Long Jue Shen before his memories awakened. He chose to join the other realms because of his outstanding talent, possessing the potential of a True Immortal, and receiving abundant resources and significant investment from the other realms' powerful figures in his training, intended to set an example and shake the resolve of the heavens.
Long Jue Shen suddenly understood what his master meant when he said this reincarnation was also a rare experience.
Indeed rare... If the powerful figures from the other realms discovered he was actually a spy among spies, they would probably tear him apart alive!
........
Meanwhile,
Su Chen slowly opened his eyes.
Because of his family's vast wealth, he had some understanding of the current situation in the heavens.
The Celestial King on the side of the 'disaster' has begun to make a move. Although temporarily hindered by his backup plan, once another Celestial King is free to act, annihilation may be imminent.
Time is of the essence!
Su Chen had no time to think further.
He still needed to rapidly grow stronger and accumulate sufficient power.
"Chen'er, you're going to the Mountain and River Sect?"
The old man repeated in astonishment, then said decisively, "Impossible, you absolutely cannot go!"
The old man was Su Chen's great-great-grandfather in this life.
As for why Su Chen found his great-great-grandfather in this life, it was all because of Su Chen's grandfather in this life. His grandfather's father had already died in battle against the alien realm. A seemingly insignificant clash, a trivial test of strength, could claim countless lives, including the closest relatives of many. Even Su Chen's parents in this life had gone to the battlefield against the alien realm.
Heading to the Mountain and River Sect... the Mountain and River Sect was the number one sect in all the heavens, and from top to bottom, it naturally bore the mission of saving the world. No one had a reason to stand aside, which was why Su Chen's great-grandfather in this life was so resolute.
In this world where great power comes with great responsibility, it's better to be mediocre than to shine. The more dazzling one is, the more tragic the end. Deceitful struggles, battlefields of life and death... these are the burdens borne by those with the greatest power.
Su Chen sighed inwardly; he naturally understood the old man's thoughts.
However, he was the one with the greatest power.
Su Chen left without a word, and the old man assumed Su Chen was disappointed.
Soon after, he saw a jade slip left behind. Su Chen had long since disappeared. The jade slip didn't contain many words; Su Chen didn't say much about the lofty ideals of saving the world. These were the last things the old man wanted to hear, because these weren't things he cared about. In his eyes, such responsibilities shouldn't fall on his great-grandson.
This was just a simple separation. Perhaps Su Chen would return someday, but the old man knew that his great-grandson could not come back. A tear fell onto the jade slip on his old face. Perhaps he still had faith.
Su Chen had already embarked on his journey to the Mountain and River Sect. He had originally hoped his family's wealth of 100,000 Fate-Defying Points would save time, but unexpectedly, those points were wasted, though they were now insignificant to him.
When the old man discovered the jade slip, Su Chen seemed to sense something. He bowed slightly in the distance... This was in his capacity as Huangfu Chen. Perhaps Huangfu Chen would soon disappear from this world. In a sense, the founder and Dao Ancestor of the Mountain and River Sect had returned.
Su Chen once again set off for the Mountain and River Sect. He was destined to continue illuminating this era.
