Archean Eon Art

Within the 26 enormous dark-blue ice blocks were 26 humans.

As the dark-blue ice blocks melted, the human experts within began to awaken. Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and the two Dao Protectors watched with excitement.

“Huh?”

“This is…”

One human expert after another stood up. At first, they were somewhat puzzled, but soon, they were completely awake.

“Senior Brother Qin, how long have I been asleep for?” asked a white-robed man. “Five hundred years? Eight hundred years?” The other human experts also looked at Qin Wu and company.

“Everyone.” Qin Wu said, “It’s the 853rd year since the demons first invaded the human world.”

Many of the men and women-that had just woken up-were enlightened.

“I’ve been asleep for over 500 years.”

“Three hundred years…”

“Time is the greatest enemy. How many people I know are still alive in this world?”

The men and women had mixed feelings.

However, two recently-awakened experts were somewhat puzzled. A plump white-haired elder said in puzzlement, “Junior Brother Qin, you have already become a Supremacy? Also, demons invaded 853 years ago? What race are the demons?”

“Junior Brother Qin, what’s with the demon invasion?” Another goateed elder was puzzled as well.

“Peng Mu, Lunatic Yun,” said a middle-aged scholarly man who had just awoken, “The two of you have been asleep for 982 years. Millennium Instant is one of the core secret arts of our Archean Mountain. In every Regis Godfiend generation, only those with strength comparable to a Creation realm expert will enter Millennium Hall to ‘sleep’ when they are close to the end of their lifespans. This is also to save some combat strength for Archean Mountain. About 100 years after the two of you slumbered, the demons invaded.

“The strength of the Demon Realm is much stronger than that of the human world. Therefore, Archean Mountain decided that all Regis Godfiends will enter a deep slumber 50 years before the end of their lifespans. Two hundred years after the demons first invaded, Archean Mountain sensed that the situation wasn’t turning for the better. Thus, after all the Supremacies and Dao Protectors in Archean Mountain came to an agreement, we shared the Millenium Instant mystic technique with Two World Island and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven.”

“Master.” Immediately, the white-haired elder and the goateed elder respectfully bowed when they saw the middle-aged man.

“Senior Brother Li.” Qin Wu and Luo Tang also bowed slightly.

The middle-aged man was Supremacy Li Guan. He was the strongest and the oldest expert here. He wasn’t too far away from the end of his 2,000-year lifespan. Thus, he was in a deep slumber most of the time.

The Millennium Instant mystic technique allowed them to awaken mid-way, but they could only “steal” a thousand years from the worldly laws.

“Everyone is awake.” Li Guan swept his gaze around. “This means that the situation is so bad that we have to participate.”

The eyes of these awakened Regis Godfiends were filled with fighting spirit. These were Archean Mountain’s many powerful Regis Godfiends that had lived in different periods over the past 1,000 years. For example, Peng Mu and Yun Jianhai were Regis Godfiends that had reigned supreme in the world 1,000 years ago. These Godfiends were almost 400 years old if one didn’t count the time they were in a deep slumber. They were very strong and had profound moves. The outside world believed that they had died of old age! In reality, they had gone into a deep slumber when they only had a few decades of their lifespans left.

Even now, very few Regis Godfiends died in battle. Hundreds of years ago, the situation had been much better. Almost all Regis Godfiends died of old age. In fact, ever since they obtained the Millennium Instant mystic technique, the three major sects’ Regis Godfiends had all entered a deep slumber.

This secret had been kept confidential the entire time. Those who knew the secret were either Supremacies or Regis Godfiends that had slumbered.

“Awaken, Regis Godfiends of Two World Island.”

Xu Yingwu and an illusory Zhang Chun could not help but smile when they saw the Regis Godfiends waking after the dark-blue ice melted.

Unlike the Regis Godfiends of this era that had shallow accumulations, these sleeping ones were all nearing the end of their lifespans. The weakest ones were top Regis Godfiends, some were even peak Regis Godfiends. Two had reached the threshold of the Creation realm.

“Awaken, everyone.” The three Supremacies, Bai Yaoyue, Meng Tiange, and Mi Yu, were staring at the figures sleeping in the dark palace.

The dark-blue ice melted, and figures slowly sat up in confusion.

“Archean Mountain’s Millennium Instant mystic technique has indeed helped us greatly,” said the bearded Meng Tiange.

“Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s inheritance is with them, so it’s normal for them to have more tricks,” said Bai Yaoyue calmly.

Men and women stood up as they woke up completely. They looked at the three Supremacies with eyes filled with fighting spirit.

“Do you need us to join the battle?”

“Has it already reached the point where all the Regis Godfiends have to awaken?” asked the Regis Godfiends.

Meng Tiange said, “Everyone, the entire human race needs your protection. We need you to kill the demon monarchs.”

The three great sects were ready to strike.

Archean Mountain, in a hall.

“Senior Brother Li, this is our temporary arrangement. Is there anything you want to change?” Qin Wu handed a dossier to Li Guan.

Li Guan took it and quickly flipped through it. As a Creation Supremacy, he naturally read it very quickly. “Seven hundred fourth Firmament demon monarchs, a million demon monarchs… The demons really want to destroy the foundation of our human race in one fell swoop.” Li Guan read the dossier calmly. “There are now 61 large cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are 13 Regis Godfiends in this era, 25 Regis Godfiends who were in slumber, nine Guardian Divine Beasts, two Dao Protectors, three Creation Supremacies, and 73 Marquis Godfiends.

“There are a total of ten experts with the combat strength of a Creation realm expert. However, other than the three of us, the rest are at the Creation realm threshold.” Li Guan looked at the dossier and nodded slightly. “This plan is considered safe. I’m supposed to preside over Archean Mountain?”

“Archean Mountain is the last hope of humanity,” said the illusory Luo Tang. “No matter how strong the demons are, we can retreat to Archean Mountain. Archean Mountain cannot be lost.”

Li Guan nodded slightly. “If we are forced into a corner, we shall end the world. We will guard Archean Mountain alone.”

“Too many mortals will die. Unless we truly have no hope will we choose that path,” said Qin Wu immediately.

“Yes.” Li Guan looked at the dossier and said in surprise, ‘This Meng Chuan is also one of the three Godfiends responsible for providing reinforcements? The ones responsible for providing reinforcements are you, my Essence Soul avatar, and him?”

Immediately, the Regis Godfiends—who had just awoken-were astonished. They didn’t know who Meng Chuan was.

“The dossier has a detailed description of his strength,” said Qin Wu calmly.

“Yes.” After Li Guan finished reading the dossier, he smiled and nodded. “Alright. Qin Wu, you are more reliable than me. Just follow the plan.”

“Then, do we implement it immediately?” inquired Qin Wu.

Li Guan nodded. “Right away!”

Soon, Qin Wu, Li Guan, and Luo Tang summoned each Regis Godfiend and Dao Protector.

“Dao Protector Wang Shan, hold this token and quickly head to Jiang State Capital. From today onwards, you will be stationed in Jiang State Capital.” Qin Wu threw the token to Dao Protector Wang Shan. “When you reach Jiang State Capital, you just need to hide in the shadows. Do not let any human discover you. Also, an envoy will accompany you. The envoy will pass orders to Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.”

“Alright.” Wang Shan received the token and quickly left Archean Mountain with an avian demon monarch envoy. They headed straight for Jiang State Capital. Swish! Swish! Swish!

Regis Godfiends, Dao Protectors, and Guardian Divine Beasts left Archean Mountain after receiving orders and rushed in every direction.

Dao Protector Wang Shan had an extremely high cultivation realm. He also had the strength of a weak Creation realm expert. He traveled extremely quickly with the flying demon monarch envoy. When the sky turned dark, he had arrived in Jiang State Capital.

“Jiang State Capital is huge. Back then, Jiang State Capital’s population was only a few million. Now, it’s already more than 20 million?” Wang Shan stood high in the sky and looked at the massive, bustling city with mixed emotions. As for the envoy, he bowed before flying towards Meng Manor alone.

Meng Manor.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were chatting while having dinner. This time of day was their leisure time. Meng Chuan couldn’t hide the fatigue on his face.

Swoosh.

An avian demon monarch descended from the sky.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue looked outside in surprise.

“Marquis Eastcalm, Marchioness Calmmoon, these are the transfer orders given by Archean Mountain. Please leave quickly.” The avian demon monarch envoy handed two thick envelopes to Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.

“Transfer orders?” Meng Chuan and his wife received the thick envelopes in surprise. They opened the envelopes and read the contents.
