Chapter 7091: Heavenly Desolace

“It’s time to leave.” One immortal stared wistfully at his world before leaving.

Many others did the same.

“It’s finally here.” Some immortals have been preparing for this moment so they went to their hideout.

“Is it time to fight?” On the other hand, a small number wanted to meet the apocalypse directly.

Meanwhile, immortal pillars erupted in the area nearest the high heaven, culminating in a fortified fortress.

“Heavenly Desolace is making moves?” An immortal commented.

“A direct fight.” Others paid attention.

“That’s the most dangerous location due to its vicinity, it will face the brunt of the tribulations.” An overlord remarked.

“Maybe the most dangerous is actually the safest. This world is so fortified, the only place not destroyed entirely during the last cycle.” One immortal said.

“It has always been the first line against the calamities, possessing the toughest physical characteristics.” A golden immortal said.

“It’s the target for eighty percent of the tribulations at the start and will be the first to fall.” A primordial immortal disagreed: “Previously, only a minor region with few survivors made it.”

“I don’t think it can survive this time since it’s isolated.” Many didn’t think highly of Heavenly Desolace’s survival chances.

“Who is in charge of Heavenly Desolace now?” One cultivator asked.

“Their immortal lord?” Someone responded.

“That’s a matter before Immortal Emperor Min Ren’s era, it’s no longer the case.” A golden immortal disagreed.

This world stood the closest to the high heaven. Although it had a low population due to its location, it was also the toughest.

Initially, Heavenly Desolace Immortal Lord was in charge. Due to an insufficient lifespan, the lord chose Immortal Emperor Min Ren as the successor.

“Immortal Emperor Min Ren left Gu Chun’s group in charge?” Immortals didn’t know much about this barren land.

“Gu Chun fell into darkness, it should be Origin Heaven Emperor’s group.” Someone said.

“Yes, that group should be the primary fighting force.” Another joined in.

“The current Heavenly Desolace is ruled by Empress Hong Tian and Origin Heaven Emperor.” A recent visitor gave a definite answer. Of course, recent in this case could be a hundred thousand or a million years ago.

“Both are from the nine worlds and the thirteen continents, it’s their territory.” Someone remarked.

“They’re the only ones who would be dumb enough to stay there.” A golden immortal said: “Not even birds want to shit there, it’s entirely barren. New immortals all run away eventually.”

Immortals somehow couldn’t change the landscape of Heavenly Desolace. Just making the place more livable required too many years and effort.

“That’s why it is called Desolace, not Paradise.” An immortal laughed.

“True.” Others exchanged glances.

“Maybe it is not too late to join? I wonder if they’re recruiting.” An immortal thought about relying on them to survive.

“Want to die there?” A friend glared at him.

“It has to be the safest place.” He said.

“Not necessarily, the flood will hit it first and hardest, it’s too close to the high heaven.” The friend disagreed.

“I see...” He thought about giving up.

“Plus, they might not want to take you in and even if they do, you’ll only be a lackey. Then afterward, if you somehow survive, do you want to stay there?” A golden immortal joined in.

“Fine, let’s just find our own spot.” He changed his mind.

“No, I think you have a point, Heavenly Desolace might be the only hope at survival. If it can hold on, the whole world will be fine too, right?” Another said.

“Destruction is inevitable for this world.” Someone else said.

The majority of immortals and overlords never cared about protecting this world. Hiding gave them the best chance of survival.

Some traveled to the frontier; others built fortresses. A small number joined Heavenly Desolace, wanting to resist...
