Chapter 1 The True Fire Between Giants

In the chaos, the two towering figures had already unleashed their true fire, and the aftershocks of their colliding moves swept across Feng Yi's ninety-seventh territory! Fortunately, the spatial isolation between territories prevented the spread of the aftershocks.

In an extremely short period of time, the two sides had exchanged billions of blows, and even calculated many possible future exchanges.

"Alright, alright, I admit defeat," a slightly thinner towering figure finally said.

"Destroying too many of my avatars across timelines, you're finally afraid?" the other flaming figure sneered.

"If I were determined to escape, how many avatars could you destroy?" the slender figure retorted.

The flaming figure didn't object.

Both were existences of the Third Realm, with avatars in many timelines. Even if the 'real body' was annihilated, an avatar could instantly cross over from another timeline. Only by annihilating all possibilities across all timelines could a Third Realm existence be completely killed.

And if one was determined to escape, even if the opponent was also a Third Realm existence, it would be impossible to kill them.

"Since you admit defeat, then I was third in the last 'Space-Time Arena', and you were fourth," the flaming figure said.

"In the last Space-Time Arena, my team and your team tied! We agreed at the time... that we would compete to determine the final ranking! Since I agreed, I will naturally abide by it," the slender figure said. "Don't be too proud, let's compete again in the Space-Time Arena ten Abyss Cycles from now."

"Could it be that you invited a powerful Half-Step Third Realm?" the flaming figure asked.

"That's none of your concern," the slender figure said, quite unconvinced by the loss.

The Space-Time Arena is a game frequently participated in by 'Third Realm existences' from numerous timelines!

Third Realm existences are all proud, and they can't kill each other! If conflicts between them become crazy, it would cause too many disasters to the endless territories.

Therefore, under the guidance of the ultimate existences, this Space-Time Arena game was created! Do Third Realm existences have conflicts? Let the teams under their command compete in the Space-Time Arena to determine the outcome!

Once lost, the Third Realm existence behind the team must pay a great price.

At the same time, every ten Abyss Cycles, in endless space-time, endless territories, all participating Third Realm existences will send teams to participate in the most grand event to determine rankings. The high or low ranking also determines the prizes.

In addition to some of the prizes contributed by the Third Realm existences themselves, the four ultimate existences will also put in some treasures, which makes the Space-Time Arena even more popular.

"You've lost to me for two consecutive sessions, I guess you'll still lose next time, haha..." the fiery figure laughed, and then left with a smile.

The slender figure was somewhat unwilling: "The six members of my team are the most outstanding I selected from the 'Invincible Half-Step Third Realm' of many timelines. But they have never been able to win the championship!"

"It seems I have to search more in endless space-time, to find more excellent 'Invincible Half-Step Third Realm'," the slender figure thought.

In the Space-Time Arena, each team under the command of a Third Realm existence is composed of 'Invincible Half-Step Third Realm' cultivators! This makes the strength of each team very close, and the competition in each tournament is naturally very fierce.

"Whew!" The slender figure also disappeared, leaving only a chaotic and broken battlefield behind.

Feng Yi's ninety-seventh territory has completely become a chaotic gap.

For the two Third Realm existences, they were already very restrained!

******

Xu Jingming, the dean, and the others were mentally prepared for the catastrophe in their home territory. Although they sighed with emotion, they could only accept everything.

Unknowingly, more than ten thousand years have passed. For the dean and the others, it was just the time for a closed-door research session. But for Xu Jingming... his grandfather had already reached the limit of his lifespan.

This meant that many of his loved ones were about to reach their limits one by one.

"A lifespan of one hundred thousand years." Xu Jingming came to a beautiful tourist planet, which was the place his grandfather chose. "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, Miao Miao, Li Xing... they are all about to reach their limits one by one."

This was more painful for Xu Jingming than any battle.

The most important people in his life were leaving him one by one.

"Jingming." Li Miao Miao smiled at Xu Jingming in the corridor. At this moment, she had short silver-white hair, and wrinkles on her face.

Xu Jingming stepped forward and took his wife's hand.

"Mom and Dad are here, they are all inside with Grandpa," Li Miao Miao said.

"Yeah." Xu Jingming nodded, and saw his daughter Xu Li Xing and Meng Tian in the distance. They were also very old, their hair was white, and there were wrinkles on their faces.

"Dad." Xu Li Xing and Meng Tian both walked over.

Xu Jingming nodded slightly to his daughter and son-in-law. His daughter and son-in-law had a good relationship, and Xu Jingming was also very satisfied with Meng Tian, but it was a pity that Meng Tian had also failed to become a high-dimensional life.

Xu Jingming then took Li Miao Miao and walked towards the house together.

Inside the house.

The extremely old Mr. Xu was lying there, his breath was weak, and there was a decaying aura. He had already reached the last day of his life. Next to him were his son and daughter-in-law, Xu's father and mother.

"Jingming is here." Mr. Xu grinned and smiled, "My great-grandson, hahaha..."

Xu Jingming walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, holding his grandfather's hand.

His grandfather's hand was dry and thin, like withered tree bark.

Life is like this. Even a tenth-order source life can maintain its peak for a very long time, but at the last moment of life, it is still old and frail, and is about to usher in the final extinction.

"Don't be sad, there's nothing to be sad about." Mr. Xu looked at Xu Jingming with a smile, "When I was young, in the customs of my hometown, being able to live to one hundred years old was a blessing. Those who died at the age of eighty or ninety were happy funerals. And your grandpa... lived to be one hundred thousand years old! A great joy, a great joy!"

"Yes, a great joy." Xu Jingming looked at his grandfather.

"I'm really happy."

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "This life is really wonderful. This life... is like an extremely huge game. When the game ends, a game score will be given. I believe my game score must be very, very high."

"Definitely, you are a professional player," Xu Jingming said.

"Playing games, the game score is the most important, but the most important thing... is to have fun throughout the entire game." Mr. Xu looked at Xu Jingming, "I had a lot of fun in this game of life."

"In the future, we other people will all leave one by one, and maybe only you will be left." Mr. Xu looked at Xu Jingming, "This game may have fewer companions, but even a single-player game is sometimes very interesting. The most important thing is that if you play the single-player game well, we others can be resurrected, what a great thing? Hahaha..."

Xu Jingming listened.

"I know, you definitely see through things more clearly than I do." Mr. Xu waved his hand, "You guys go out first, let me chat with your dad a little more."

"Okay, Grandpa." Xu Jingming, Li Miao Miao, Xu Li Xing, Meng Tian, and Xu's mother all went out temporarily. When they went out, they also saw Li Chen An and his wife who had arrived. Xu Fang Jin, Xu Bi Yun, and the others were also waiting outside.

Half an hour later.

"Grandpa." Xu Jingming, Li Miao Miao, and the others all looked at the house, and sensed the dissipation of Mr. Xu's aura.

Mr. Xu had passed away.

…

Time is always moving forward, unstoppable.

Even the supreme ultimate existences cannot stop the timeline from moving forward.

After Mr. Xu passed away, soon, Xu's father and mother, Li Chen An and his wife all reached the limit of their lifespans one after another. The departure of one loved one after another was like stabbing Xu Jingming in the heart again and again.

After that, Li Miao Miao also reached the limit of her lifespan.

"Miao Miao."

Xu Jingming and his wife Li Miao Miao sat in the courtyard of the old house in Blue Star, watching the sunset dye half the sky red.

"I'm leaving too." Li Miao Miao's face, full of wrinkles, had a bright smile as she looked at Xu Jingming with a smile. "I was very happy in this life. Because there has always been someone who doted on me and cared for me. I am very grateful to fate for having you by my side in this life."

"Miao Miao, we will meet again." Xu Jingming looked at his wife and said.

"Whether we meet or not, I am very satisfied. Jingming, look, the sunset is also very beautiful." His wife smiled and leaned on Xu Jingming's shoulder, watching the sunset in the distance. The sunset slowly and completely set.

Xu Jingming looked at the sky in the distance, and the aura of his wife Li Miao Miao beside him had dissipated.

******

Distant territory.

An old man looked into the distance.

"That girl Miao Miao has also passed away." The old man shook his head slightly, "My son and daughter-in-law, my granddaughter-in-law, all have limited talent and can't become high-dimensional beings on their own. It seems that I still have to rely on my great-grandson to resurrect them after becoming a Third Realm existence!"

Suddenly, a figure crossed the void, it was a petite woman with transparent wings, she had two curved horns on her forehead, emitting a black aura.

The petite woman saw the old man and bowed slightly: "Drunken Old Man, you have finally woken up."

"Dreams will eventually wake up." The old man said with a smile, "During my sleep, in the latest Space-Time Arena competition, my team took second place?"

"Yes, second place." The petite woman nodded.

"Without my training, they are still a bit short." The old man muttered dissatisfied.

"After all, your team has won the championship for eight consecutive sessions, and the Third Realm existences in the Space-Time Arena are almost losing their fighting spirit," the petite woman said. "Even the ultimate existences are preparing to adjust the rules of the Space-Time Arena."

The old man smiled and said: "So I fell asleep, which is also giving them a chance. I didn't win the championship this time, so the ultimate existences shouldn't adjust the rules, right."

"Probably not," Fiya said with a smile.

"Fiya, during this time, has everything been normal?" The old man's expression became a bit more serious, "Has there been any accidents?"

"I haven't relaxed for a moment, and have been monitoring everywhere." The petite woman said, "Drunken Old Man, rest assured, everything is normal. Now that Drunken Old Man is awake, the law enforcement power will be returned to Drunken Old Man."

The old man nodded, looked again at Xu Jingming and others in that territory, and then left with Fiya.
