Chu Yuan imposed an inescapable choice of death upon the deities of the Ten Heavens, manifesting the word 'Death' and unleashing his invincible imperial might to sever their path. The gods united their powers in a desperate roar, combining forces stronger than even against the Sovereign of the Heavens, launching thunderous assaults of light and darkness. Yet Chu Yuan, wielding his eternal heart and Divine Martial Sword, shattered their ultimate moves, activating the Fourth Era's system to erase their existence, absorbing their evaporating essence as they weakened toward inevitable defeat.

At this instant, the gods uttered these words.

"Destroy everything, return to the origin!"

The remaining heavens comprehended the gods' intentions as well, employing their annihilating force to eradicate all manifestations from the initial through third eras, reducing them to utter nothingness, entirely erased.

Regarding the fourth era, it hasn't fully manifested yet.

"Let it all vanish, let it all be destroyed!"

In their last instant, they showed remarkable solidarity, surpassing the relinquishment of authority to merge into celestial rulers.

Victory eludes them now, the path ahead obscured, so all might as well fade away collectively, vanishing as one.

If survival denies me, it denies you too.

They wholeheartedly supported the gods' strategy.

"Existence and non-existence form a cycle; without eternal existence, let everything return to a single origin."

The sovereign of the heavens grew quiet, carrying the resolve of ten rulers, promptly kindling a pristine blaze that sparked an inferno.

Chaos reigned within their energies; this sacred inferno had the capacity to incinerate all that is.

Maybe the gods had anticipated this scenario ages ago, knowing it as the inevitable conclusion.

The flames surged rapidly and intensely, devouring the expansive firmaments of the ten heavens, ancient domains of the skies ignited, and with every area consumed, the blaze intensified further.

A conflagration wiping out every remnant.

"We don’t want to witness your era, so let everything revert to a single origin."

These were the last echoes from the ten heavens.

Reversal of their loss was impossible now, thus they chose mutual annihilation, reverting to oblivion.

Rather than falling to the foe's hand, this marked their noblest end.

Amid this all-consuming blaze, only the Divine Martial Empire endures!

Citizens of the empire watched the flames charge at them, their expressions resolute in faith, devoid of terror or dread.

What reason for fear?

The supreme Emperor stands among them; no force can annihilate their being.

Yet the ten heavens' ultimate resolve morphed into a vow to engulf the empire in flames, seeking shared demise.

"I represent the fourth era; your flames burn only the former eras. My fourth era shall exist eternally."

Chu Yuan's resolve stood unyielding, ready to defy all opposition.

Confronting these flames, the colossal vault of the empire burst forth with limitless might, as the Eternal Era's holy glow radiated afar.

Booming! Upon the fire's contact with the empire, it failed to dissolve it, while the empire's domains surged outward in successive waves, shrinking the inferno's domain.

"The fourth era, pursuing the eternal, aspiring to indestructible eternity!"

Within every soul burned the essence of timelessness.

Though the blaze could consume all, it targeted solely the essences of the first to third eras, but Chu Yuan dwelled in the fourth, rendering him impervious to its heat.

In time, the flames died out, and the ten heavens dissolved, eternally consigned to the annals of history.

Spared from direct slaying or purification by Chu Yuan, this preserved their honor.

"Chu Yuan, the fourth era has arrived."

Yanran said.

"The fourth era!"

Every citizen of the empire felt the dawn of the fourth era, heralding a fresh age.

"Indeed, the fourth era has arrived."

Chu Yuan extended his arms broadly, as though embracing the fourth era, a timeless epoch.

Memories of bygone days flooded him, from the origins when the system's might transported him to Dawu, and through a single decision, he ascended as Dawu's sovereign.

From there, he guided the empire through ceaseless conflicts up to this point, forging the fourth era within this supreme realm.

Every moment—the progression of the empire and its clashes—unfolded as vivid scenes, etching into his most treasured recollections.

Innumerable souls formed the tapestry of his reminiscences.

Right then, embodying the empire, the immense sky surged outward with vigor, all energies at last converged toward a singular path, pressing onward endlessly to test its boundaries.

"The eternal era is also the era the king of heavens wanted to see."

The Heavenly Soul said.

In this time, Chu Yuan reigned supreme, unchallenged in his dominion; even if new powerhouses emerged among the heavens or fresh aspirations stirred, none could withstand his dominance.

Absent the mightiest, how could genuine transcendence arise?

"Emperor, emerging from non-existence is existence, it is the heavens’ realm, do you think, as we expand this way, before reaching our limit, might other worlds appear with the same ideals expanding?"

The Heavenly Soul posed his deepest inquiry.

Yanran nodded, saying: "I also want to know, an emergence of our heavenly world indicates the more there is non-existence, the more miracles can occur."

"I do not know now, but I believe it is possible, perhaps there will be more existence."

Chu Yuan’s gaze at this moment reached deeper into the heavens.

"Perhaps."

The Heavenly Soul profoundly spoke, saying: "Pursue the possible existence with the eternal era."

Citizens of the empire pondered too, while harboring eager hopes.

"If we encountered another world with opposing ideals, what should the empire do?"

Bao spoke.

"Then wage war; the eternal era will conquer and accommodate everything!"

Chu Yuan said.

"The empire’s battles have never ceased, nor have the empire’s steps paused; we pursue the limits we wish to reach, and if a limit is met, break it with the strongest force; our era has no limits, only infinite strength!"

Chu Yuan’s proclamation for the era resounded across the empire, igniting boundless assurance and aspirations in its people.

Fueled by purpose, the empire endures forever.

"Create the eternal glory of the fourth era with me."

Chu Yuan at this moment opened the door to the new era.

He looked at his family, his citizens, his empire, all within the divine radiance of eternity, their faces lit with eternal smiles.

His grand hand spread open, it was the power to break limits, the power of the eternal era.

A new era has emerged, an era of eternity, it will never perish!
