My gorgeous wife Chapter 2214 - 2182: Dawn of the New Era

After the battle with the old man riding a cow, the oppressive First Hat of the Starry Sky atop Li Chen’s head was finally removed.

Li Chen didn’t feel discouraged by this; instead, he felt exceptionally relieved.

Li Chen was someone who liked to make full use of his resources, knowing that trouble might arise later. So he decided to open the door and face the enemy for three years. During these three years, he utilized this First Hat of the Starry Sky, experiencing hundreds of battles large and small, honing his strength to make it more solid and formidable.

Moreover, the many laws and abilities Li Chen possessed showed signs of fusion under such honing.

Of course, for him now, there was still a long path to walk in the cultivation of laws. As for how long it would take to achieve complete fusion again after walking this path?

Only heaven knows.

Finally, Li Chen began the longest closed-door cultivation since he started training.

It was because his family had finally settled down, and his friends had found their new lives, that Li Chen could undertake this cultivation in peace.

In the past, even when closing himself off, Li Chen was always anxious.

This seclusion lasted for a full two hundred years.

During this two hundred years of seclusion, Li Chen was unaware that, for the starry universe, an era had ended.

"The arrival of a new era, indeed."

In the Borderland Realm, many strong ones gathered outside the starry sky of the Borderland Realm, sensing the changes in the world, their expressions indescribable.

The changes of an era are produced by the supreme operating rules of the starry universe at its core.

With the change in rules, the entire starry universe undergoes a series of mysterious changes, akin to the exhaustion after the Four Emperors Era when strong individuals hid and cultivation became difficult, or like the spirit energy revival from the Pioneering Era to the Revival Era.

This time, the era’s transition did not lead to exhaustion but instead became more abundant in spirit energy than the previous era, with the laws appearing clearer.

For cultivators, this is undoubtedly a better era.

"A better era also means a worse era." In the depths of the starry sky, two figures walked slowly, sensing the changes in the starry sky, one of them sighed softly.

Beside them, the other figure remained silent.

"Have you truly decided?" Zhang Shutong slowly spoke to the slightly silent figure.

"To me, the entire Heaven Realm is my enemy. This time, either I annihilate my enemies, or I die at their hands. Nothing else matters to me," the slightly silent figure said with a somewhat hoarse voice. "Whatever origins or endings, whatever extinction of everything, leave me alone."

Zhang Shutong nodded: "Since you’ve decided, I won’t try to persuade you anymore. But as a rare kindred spirit, I still don’t want you to die."

...

Simultaneously, in that dark unknown space outside the starry universe, countless strong individuals were frantically calculating.

"The starry universe has once again entered a new era, which is certain to be a more glorious era."

"A glorious era? It’s merely a step closer to the end." Someone sneered, "The closer one approaches the ultimate glory, the more likely they are to decline from excess. Isn’t that the eventual fate for us abandoned souls outside the starry universe?"

"Compared to the endless exhaustion and deathly silence, I prefer this extreme glory—the more glorious it is, the closer they are to the end. Isn’t the so-called Seven Realms Era of this era just the same?"

"Just wait. The strengthening under the operation of cosmic rules is not limited to the starry universe’s beings. That one, who will bring about the extinction of everything, is even nearer to awakening, hahaha!" An unidentified, unknown strong one laughed wildly.

Though his laughter contained madness and cruelty, what was more present was a bitterness almost imperceptible.

Once upon a time, their era brought about the grand destruction after reaching extreme glory under similar brilliance.

At the edge of the starry universe, a tear suddenly opened, and several strong individuals slowly walked out.

Each of them emitted a terrifying aura.

Any one of them placed within the current starry universe would be considered an ultimate strong one, invincible and unrivaled.

Yet, several such strong individuals appeared at once, standing amidst the starry sky, exchanging glances, one of them spoke softly: "Another new era, but who knows if this will be the last era of our starry universe."

"No matter what, our time is truly running out. Even though several Lord Dao Saints are cultivating with all their strength, the Heaven-shrouding Realm remains a distant horizon. Hopefully, the arrival of this new era will bring a breakthrough opportunity for the lords."

"Otherwise, perhaps our entire starry universe will have to rely on one person alone. Neither he nor we elders will find that promising." The speaker gazed somewhat distantly towards the far-off direction, which was the location of the Heaven Realm.

"Sigh, forget it. Fate is something untouchable and difficult to grasp; we just need to do our duty. Let’s go, report back the era transition matters, and then go cultivate."

"Let’s go."

...

Under the operation of the rules of the starry universe, the entire starry universe became abundant in spirit energy, and the laws became clearer and easier to comprehend.

Not only the Four Great Realms and their subordinate Mortal World felt this revival change, but even the unique races dwelling deep in the starry universe, outside the jurisdiction of the Four Great Realms, felt this change.

Cultivation breakthroughs became more straightforward, and law comprehension became easier.

Many strong individuals trapped at one realm for many years completed breakthroughs instantaneously, entering higher realms.

Also, many who closed off to study ultimate divine skills received sudden insights, fulfilling years-old secluded wishes to create powerful magical skills.

The entire universe began to change under such influence.

Thus, the Flourishing Era ended completely, and the starry universe entered a new era.

This era, after years of discussion across various domains of the starry universe, was finally named.

The Banquet Era!

Because this is a feast for all cultivators of the starry universe!

The starry universe welcomed the most wonderful cultivation era!

And the beginning of this era coincided with the end of Li Chen’s two hundred years of seclusion!

On that day, a thunderous roar reverberated through the entire Borderland Realm.

The sky of the Borderland Realm faintly descended with auspicious lights.

Under the starry sky, a black-clad figure, who did not know when he had already dashed out of the Borderland Realm, stood beneath the starry sky, gazing up at the auspicious light overhead, whispering softly.

"Heavenly tribulation? I no longer require it."
