“Transcend the tribulation well. After transcending the eighth Heavenly Tribulation, your lifespan will greatly increase. You will also be able to see scenes that are thousands of times more exciting,” said Thousand-Hands with a grin. “Otherwise, you will only be able to live for a couple hundred thousand years and experience a single universe. Your horizons will be too limited.”

Meng Chuan didn’t agree. A Seventh Tribulation Eminence stood at the peak of a universe; he had obtained enough.

But in comparison, an Eighth Tribulation Eminence that was beyond the River of Spacetime could experience unimaginable things.

“Your test is over; you can’t stay here for too long. It’s time to leave,” said Thousand-Hands. “If you wish to meet Master in the future, just head to Azure Volcano.”

“Senior Brother Thousand-Hands, I’ll take my leave,” said Meng Chuan.

Thousand-Hands nodded.

Meng Chuan’s body dissipated.

Wu~

Only then did Thousand-Hands beam with delight.

I’m the only one left on Dry Origin Mountain. All the troublesome ones have left.

Thousand-Hands lay on the ground happily. He hugged himself with his six claws, and two of his claws were caressing his face. He began sleeping again, and he naturally created the world he wanted to experience in his dream. As Senior Brother Thousand-Hands—who had the strength of a peak Eighth Tribulation Eminence—the world created by the dream was comparable to a real world.

Over the years, he had long gotten used to doing whatever he wanted in the dream worlds. He only woke up when he had to receive his master and the disciples.

…

In Archean Eon Realm’s Heaven and Earth Great Hall, Meng Chuan had a flame mark between his eyebrows. With a thought, the mark was hidden.

The Essence Soul avatar far away on Dry Origin Mountain dissipated at will. After all, the Essence Soul avatar didn’t have any treasures.

The true body in his home universe inherited all the talent and memories the Essence Soul avatar had received on Dry Origin Mountain, so there was no need for him to make the arduous journey.

There are still 20 years left before the Tribulation Transcendence.

Meng Chuan walked out of Heaven and Earth Great Hall.

All my avatars have returned to my home universe. I can control the time flow in my body and protect my homeworld for another 200 years.

Although he looked no different from others, Meng Chuan’s time flow was one-tenth that of the outside world. This way, the Heavenly Tribulation would descend 200 years later in his home universe.

Meng Chuan only wanted to protect his homeworld and spend more time with his family.

Whoosh.

High in Archean Mountain, Meng Chuan looked down at the entire sect.

After so many years of construction, especially after he became a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence, he had completely comprehended the universe’s ten Origins laws. He had created a large number of formulations for Archean Eon Realm’s Godfiend cultivation system, completely making up for Archean Eon Realm’s shortcomings.

Once a middle-level world produced a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence, the cultivation system would be perfected rapidly. This was because half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences grasped the most fundamental time and space. Furthermore, they would comprehend the ten Origins laws.

After grasping all of these fundamental laws, they could deduce a cultivation system. It was the cultivation system that was most suitable for this universe, and it was much stronger than the cultivation system created by Seventh Tribulation Eminences. For example, Meng Chuan could create one cultivation system in three to five days. He had even created 30 Tribulation-level formulations.

If I succeed in transcending the tribulation, I will also create a perfected cultivation system for Archean Eon Realm’s Godfiend cultivation system that isn’t inferior to the Cosmos Body and the Shura cultivation systems.

His current realm was sufficient. After reading at Book Mountain and absorbing the memories of the Chaos overlord, Wise, he had accumulated enough. However, he didn’t have enough time.

Time was too tight to create a powerful formulation like the Cosmos Body cultivation system in just 20 years.

…

Archean Eon Realm.

Meng Chuan flew around Archean Eon Realm.

More than 1,600 years had passed since the war with the demons officially ended. To the commoners of Archean Eon Realm, the demons? They were only recorded in history books; it was distant history.

Archean Eon Realm was in its most prosperous period in history. As this era’s strongest expert in this River of Spacetime, Meng Chuan brought many benefits to Archean Eon Realm. A large number of rare treasures and manuals were sent to Archean Eon Realm.

Ordinary people in Archean Eon Realm could come into contact with cultivation. Cultivation became something every Archean Eon Realm member had to do, but the ratio of Godfiends was still extremely low.

However, the number of Godfiends born was much greater than 1,000 years ago. After all, this was a world that had produced an Eighth Tribulation lifeform. Such worlds were extremely prosperous in the River of Spacetime, second only to high-level worlds.

Meng Sha Realm.

Meng Chuan thought of Meng Sha Realm.

Ancestor Meng Sha had also become an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, but he had failed to transcend the tribulation.

The treasures he left for Meng Sha Realm attracted Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s attention.

Fortune and disaster are two sides of the same coin.

Meng Chuan looked down at the prosperous Archean Eon Realm, but he knew that there was a limit to what he could do.

Without becoming a high-level world, generations of cultivators would naturally covet them.

Even after becoming a high-level world, it would only live on without worries if the Eighth Tribulation Eminence remained alive.

Even if one doesn’t experience any danger, there will come a day when an inhabited world will decline. Even a universe will have a day of destruction.

Meng Chuan was very calm.

There was only one way to resolve these problems—to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm. After reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm, one could lead their clansmen into escaping the calamity of a universe destruction.

Eighth Tribulation realm. Jumping out of the River of Spacetime?

Meng Chuan’s eyes were filled with anticipation. He was now only one obstacle away from the true Eighth Tribulation realm—Tribulation Transcendence!

…

Meng Chuan seemed carefree. He often accompanied his wife and parents, and he would even gather with his old friends, Yan Jin and Yan Chitong.

Yan Jin and company were over 1,800 years old, and they were living quite well. However, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatars focused on thinking about the 100 different sets of memories he had obtained from the Chaos overlord, Wise. He drew on the 100 Dao as sustenance to enrich his Painting Dao.

Just like that, years passed. He was getting closer and closer to transcending the tribulation.

On Planet Great Isle in the outer realm.

Planet Great Isle was a branch of Yellow-Robed Academy.

“Brother Meng Yu, from today onward, you are also a member of our Yellow-Robed Academy,” said the scarlet rock creature with a laugh. “Don’t worry; my master is a Sixth Tribulation Eminence in the academy. With me taking care of you, you won’t be bullied in the academy.”

“Thank you, Brother Chisuo.” Meng Yu was rather excited. After so many years, he had finally transcended the tribulation and reached the Physical Body Fifth Tribulation realm.

In order to have sufficient confidence in transcending the tribulation, he had deliberately stalled for time. His realm was high enough, and he only perfected his body to usher in the Heavenly Tribulation when he was almost completely confident. He succeeded in one fell swoop.

Although my grandfather and father’s enemy is a Sixth Tribulation Eminence, I should be able to help a little after becoming a Fifth Tribulation Eminence,

thought Meng Yu.

“I’ll send you an intelligence report that all Yellow-Robed Academy members should know,” said Chisuo.

Meng Yu sensed it. This intelligence contained detailed information on the academy’s rules, rewards, and punishments. It also contained information on the various factions in the River of Spacetime.

There were records of the strongest existences as well. Most importantly, it mentioned the strongest Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence—City Lord Eastcalm—and his good friend, Hall Lord White Avian, who was a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence.

Huh?

Meng Yu was stunned. He carefully read the intelligence regarding City Lord Eastcalm, Meng Chuan.

City Lord Eastcalm, Meng Chuan. His homeworld is Three Bay River System’s Archean Eon Realm. He has a son, Meng An…

The intelligence highlighted points as a way to inform the subordinates to be careful. They didn’t want to offend an existence they couldn’t afford to offend. Intelligence on Meng An and his wife was no longer a secret to the top factions in spacetime.

Meng Yu read and verified it in a daze.

Meng Chuan? Meng An? Three Bay River System’s Archean Eon Realm? The names are the same. It can’t be that coincidental, right?

Meng Yu’s heart stirred.

An Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence? My grandfather is an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence? Is that possible?

He knew very little about Eighth Tribulation Eminences. With the intelligence he had, he only knew that Eighth Tribulation Eminences were omnipotent existences. They were high and mighty! Seventh Tribulation Eminences yearned to follow an Eighth Tribulation Eminence but to no avail. With a glance from an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, even a Seventh Tribulation Eminence would be annihilated…

City Lord Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, controls Earth Cloud Mystic Realm.

Meng Yu read the information.

Earth Cloud Mystic Realm? Isn’t that my homeworld?

“Yu’er.” A familiar voice sounded.

Meng Yu looked up and saw a black-robed, white-haired man appear beside him.

“Grandfather.” Meng Yu looked at his grandfather.

The moment his grandson learned the truth, Meng Chuan sensed it. After all, as long as someone remembered his name after he became an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence, he could sense it even while in distant universes.

“Senior, you are?” Chisuo was puzzled. Yellow-Robed Academy’s intelligence had records of Meng An, but there were no records of Meng Chuan’s imagery.

“I’m Meng Yu’s grandfather.” Meng Chuan smiled. “Yu’er, follow me.”

“Yes,” replied Meng Yu.

The grandfather-grandson duo vanished.

…

Meng Chuan and Meng Yu had already arrived at Earth Cloud Mystic Realm.

I’m back.

Meng Yu looked at the vast sky.

The sunset was gorgeous.

Meng Yu had always wanted to return to help his grandfather. Now that he was back, the outcome…

“You should’ve read the intelligence regarding me,” said Meng Chuan. “Back when I first met you, I hadn’t transcended the tribulation to the Sixth Tribulation realm.”

Meng Yu nodded. He believed that it couldn’t be fake because many of his mother’s clansmen had died. Furthermore, according to the intelligence, City Lord Eastcalm—Meng Chuan—cultivated extremely quickly. He went from a weakling to a Seventh Tribulation Eminence in a short period of time before becoming an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence.

“After gaining control of Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, I discussed it with your parents. I decided to hide it from you temporarily,” said Meng Chuan. “It was also for you to go further on your cultivation path. Your talent is more outstanding than your father’s.”

Meng Yu nodded and smiled. “I always thought that I had a powerful enemy. I’ve been cultivating carefully until now, but who knew that my grandfather was an Eighth Tribulation Eminence? Then, can I do whatever I want in the future?”

“I prepared this for you.” Meng Chuan handed him a silver bangle.

Meng Yu took it and checked it. The many treasures and cultivation manuals in the silver bangle were things he couldn’t obtain even in his wildest dreams.

“Thank you, Grandfather,” said Meng Yu immediately. The treatment was indeed different.

“That’s all I can help you with,” said Meng Chuan. He had to consider his species and other clansmen. His grandson had become a Fifth Tribulation Eminence and had a chance of reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm, but he had only given him treasures worth ten million cubes. Although these treasures were nothing to him, they were enough for his grandson.

“Grandfather, I understand. You have to be impartial,” said Meng Yu with a smile. “But Grandfather, you are an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. It’s fine… if you slightly tip the scale toward me.”

Meng Chuan looked at his grinning grandson. In fact, he could sense that Meng Yu was somewhat unhappy after being lied to for so many years. Even so, Meng Yu quickly let it go.

“Yu’er, everyone says that I’m an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence,” said Meng Chuan. “Actually, I still need to transcend the tribulation.”

“Tribulation Transcendence?” Meng Yu was taken aback.

“Yes, I will transcend the tribulation soon. My Essence Soul will undergo the eighth Heavenly Tribulation,” said Meng Chuan. “If I succeed, I’ll live. If I fail, I’ll die. You won’t have anything to rely on; you will still have to rely on yourself.”

Meng Yu looked at his grandfather dazedly.

According to the intelligence, Meng Chuan was an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence. However, transcending the tribulation was a huge secret; it wasn’t announced to the ordinary members.

Even the Seventh Tribulation Eminences didn’t know if Meng Chuan had transcended the Heavenly Tribulation, and they didn’t dare ask.

Meng Yu indeed suffered a heavy blow. He had been shocked and excited when he learned that his grandfather was an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Now, his grandfather said that he needed to transcend the tribulation? Perhaps he would die? He still had to cultivate carefully?

“Grandfather, you will definitely transcend the tribulation successfully,” said Meng Yu seriously. “I’ve cultivated for so many years. What I want the most is not to act or pretend in front of any powerhouse. For my dream, Grandfather, you have to transcend the tribulation successfully.”

“Punk.” Meng Chuan could sense his grandson’s concern. “I’ll work hard.”

Meng Yu smiled.

Meng Yu roamed the world alone. He cared about his few family members the most.

…

In this era, Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminences was superior to all living beings. The various factions in the River of Spacetime were very careful; there were fewer chaotic battles in recent years.

As time slowly passed, the eighth Heavenly Tribulation finally descended.
