Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 512 - 292: Palace of the Polestar (Part 2)

Chapter 512: Chapter 292: Palace of the Polestar (Part 2)

Ultimately, the entire colossal Palace of the Polestar was filled with one powerful and awe-inspiring presence after another.

Yet there was no chaos on the scene; everyone stood firmly in their positions, their gaze continually scanning toward the area where Shen Yu stood.

Until a certain moment.

A massive figure, accompanied by overwhelming pressure, slowly converged on the position of the Celestial Emperor.

The appearance of the Jade Emperor was far more breathtaking than Shen Yu had anticipated.

That gigantic stature, the grand aura, was not some intentional manifestation of a heavenly Dharma Form, but rather the true physical form of the other party!

To the extent that Shen Yu could not even fathom the level of its realm.

But there was no doubt, it was definitely not weaker than a Daluo Golden Immortal! Indeed, sitting on the Celestial Emperor’s throne here might even be stronger than all the Daluo Golden Immortals, including the Western Tathagata!

"The Celestial Emperor should be the one closest to the Saint Fruit Position!" Shen Yu’s heart quietly stirred with excitement.

He also considered himself having led the Human Civilization Alliance through these ten years, and thus understood very well the importance of a powerful, wise, and capable supreme leader for an entire civilization.

Especially for such a system possessing eternal life.

Therefore, Shen Yu had always been worried about whether the Celestial Emperor he would meet might turn out to be the one depicted in the Journey to the West mythology who seemed to have no personal abilities.

Fortunately, that was not the case.

Just at first glance, Shen Yu confirmed that the Celestial Emperor before him was precisely the one he hoped to see.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor sat high in the sky, his gaze sweeping over the entire Palace of the Polestar.

Not until the Western Holy Queen Mother took her seat beside him did the Jade Emperor slowly speak, "This Palace of the Polestar has not seen such liveliness in a while."

The words were very calm, casual, yet lacking the sovereign’s supreme majesty, resembling more a casual conversation.

Still, this was normal.

The Jade Emperor was more of a spiritual symbol, even though he indeed held a high position. In this realm, however, he was not the highest sovereign.

Above were Saints, below were heavenly laws.

Gathered here today were simply dozens of Daluo Golden Immortals!

Even the Jade Emperor could only appropriately display majesty.

For instance, being above everyone, enormous in stature, looking down upon the entire domain.

Yet he could not truly control the room with one word.

At this moment, as the chief emissary of the Celestial Emperor, Venus of Taibai stepped forward, raising a hand in greeting: "Your Majesty, today’s cause originates from Taoist friend Shen Yu. While we have some understanding following Bodhi Ancestor’s voice, it remains like a fog. Instead, let Taoist friend Shen Yu explain a bit."

As the words fell, many immortals nodded slightly.

Their gazes had been fixed on Shen Yu for quite some time.

Naturally, they could discern many things that Bodhi Ancestor had not explained but were nevertheless astonishing.

For instance, Shen Yu evidently came from a recent historical period.

The unique temperament that comes from growing up in modern times is hard to conceal.

But more importantly—they all saw that Shen Yu was under forty years old!

A Taiyi Golden Immortal under forty?

This was not about reincarnation cultivation or innate divine spirit, but genuinely and truly, reaching such a Dao Fruit realm within merely ten years as a regular person!

Completely shattering these immortals’ perceptions of cultivation.

Thus, their interest and curiosity had already reached the pinnacle.

Shen Yu was undaunted, even when faced with the gaze of so many immortals and Great Powers, walking out without the slightest timidity.

"Shen Yu, member of the All Heavens End-of-the-World Civilization Mutual Aid Association, greets fellow Taoists."

With just one sentence, all the immortals present had their gazes intensely focused.

Though none let out a voice of exclamation or showed any intense emotional fluctuation, Shen Yu could clearly feel their concentrated gazes and pressure becoming more intense.

For these immortals, just this sentence had already conveyed a wealth of information.

The other party’s power indeed came from outside this vast world.

Moreover, it was a force capable of freely expanding its influence to different All Heavens Worlds.

Just this alone carried enough significance to make these people take it with utmost seriousness.

"Doomsday Civilization Mutual Aid Association." The Celestial Emperor muttered the name once, his voice not loud, yet seemingly descending from the sky, appearing clearly in the ears of every immortal, "So, from what you’re saying, your association has already determined that the Heavenly Court civilization of our vast world is inevitably doomed?"

"That is indeed the case." Shen Yu paused slightly, observing the Celestial Emperor’s expression, then continued to speak, "More accurately, in this Multi-Dimensional Parallel Universe, there will be no observable human existence. Therefore, if the Primordial World ultimately escapes this All Heavens World, then the possibility of survival for all of you still exists."

As the words fell, Shen Yu could clearly feel divine thoughts continually flowing in the vast Palace of the Polestar above.

Those seemingly silent immortals filled with aura were, in fact, having intense communication.

Shen Yu’s words were very clear.

According to the fate observed by the association, they ultimately failed. Even if successful in escaping, it still couldn’t prevent the destruction of the vast world.

And compared to this fact, what they took more seriously was the ability of this so-called association to monitor their world’s fate!

More importantly, if the other party truly comes from outside the world, it is entirely possible.

Upon breaking free from some kinds of shackles, certain means are beyond the imagination or speculation of those within shackles.

Even Hongjun Dao Ancestor is the same.

"Friend." Venus of Taibai suddenly spoke, first giving a smile and salute, then continuing, "Taibai has one thing unclear. Friend, having already saved countless times in this vast world, can be considered to have immeasurable merit. But is there anything else to gain in addition to the merit from saving the world?"

These words directly were asking whether Shen Yu, in saving the world with such effort, could obtain any benefits from the association.

Though asked very directly, Venus of Taibai’s gaze was genuinely sincere.

At least it didn’t carry much meaning of probing Shen Yu.

The surrounding reaction of quite a few immortals made Shen Yu aware they truly valued this question.

It can only be said, worthy of such a group who’ve survived through several tribulations and lived through long ages.

They indeed precisely realized the focus was at play.

Understanding the benefits Shen Yu could obtain was the key to understanding how Shen Yu and this association valued their world.

The answer to this question would inevitably have profound effects on their subsequent decisions.

And Shen Yu, after a brief thought, slowly said, "Naturally, there is. This body of Dao practice is one of them."

"Could it be ’Great Works Manifestation’?" Venus of Taibai asked again.

Clearly, they were not entirely unaware of Shen Yu’s existence or the happenings within the vast world.

And Shen Yu, straightforwardly and decidedly nodded, saying, "It is indeed Great Works. I’ve distributed manifestational power to many who achieved Great Works, which is merely a third of the Great Works they created. The rest contributed part to my Dao practice, and the other portion exchanged for numerous resources, technologies, and equipment beneficial for civilization development and combating the apocalypse."

Shen Yu seemed to speak openly with no secrets, but deep within, he was on high alert.

This is actually the reason he has not come directly into contact with the Primordial World and the Immortal Court.

This Primordial World before him is distinct from any civilization Shen Yu ever encountered through the association previously!

Even the likewise formidable Wizard Civilization cannot compare.

Because, the Wizard Civilization is not a highly collectivized Extraordinary Civilization.

Overall, it remains a realm of powerful individual extraordinaries, each ruling independently.
