Chapter 1056: Who Chronicles A Hundred Samsaras (2)

“Within Wan Yu Tower, there exists a supreme treasure surpassing Xiantian Instruments, called the Eternal Register. It's said to chronicle the history of living beings in the endless cosmic sea

.

”

Overlord Huan Jin said wistfully.

"As the cosmic sea evolves, birthing uncountable living beings, many deeds are lost to the passage of time. The words written in the Eternal Register are said to be written in the Primordium itself. Once something is recorded, it leaves an indelible mark in the Primordial Rules that no one can erase.

"Legend has it that Eternals who attain Sainthood can perceive the workings of the Primordial Rules and can thus read the contents of the Eternal Register.

"The Eternal Register is considered the publicly available intelligence archives of the endless cosmic sea, but the requirements for the inclusion of names and deeds are extremely difficult to meet," Overlord Huan Jin looked at Wu Yuan. "It is said that those whose names are recorded receive intangible benefits. I'm not clear about the specific requirements. After all, among the Overlords I know, no one has managed to have their name recorded yet."

Wu Yuan listened, his heart stirring slightly.

It seemed this so-called Eternal Register was similar to the three supreme divine objects, all involving the workings of the Primordial Rules, though it probably wasn't as mystical.

"Even fourth-stage Overlords can't be recorded in the Eternal Register?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"In most cases, no," Overlord Huan Jin shook his head decisively.

Wu Yuan grew increasingly shocked. Was the bar that high?

Recorded? I'm afraid it's not as simple as writing my name.

Wu Yuan thought to himself.

However, Overlord Huan Jin doesn't know, and other Eldritch Court Overlords probably aren't too clear about it either.

I'll ask Eldritch Progenitor Luan Jiang when I see him.

Wu Yuan decided.

For now, this Eternal Register didn't seem to pose any apparent danger to him at least.

"The determining factor is most likely your age, Wu Yuan," Overlord Huan Jin said. "Legend has it that the sempiternal lifeforms recorded can all be called 'mythical figures'.

"The Heavenly Imperator's feat of slaying an eternal in the past has been passed down through many samsara cycles of heaven and earth. Apparently, this is related to the Eternal Register."

"It seems in the eyes of Wan Yu Tower, your potential is so immense that you might become a True Saint in the future," Overlord Huan Jin sighed.

True Saint Eternal? Wu Yuan smiled without explaining.

"Let's go. Whether I'm recorded or not, could it really help me achieve eternity?" Wu Yuan laughed.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two continued flying at high speed.

One year, two years, ten years...

While they traversed the Creation Dao Realm, Wu Yuan received a message from Overlord Hou Jue – he was now able to enter the Eldritch Progenitor Hall in the Eldritch Court Voidrealm.

Even without Overlord Hou Jue's message, the strand of consciousness Wu Yuan had left in the Eldritch Court Voidrealm had sensed that his authority within the voidrealm had been comprehensively elevated.

Above the vast Saintdom planes in the Eldritch Court Voidrealm, there was now another world Wu Yuan had access to - the Eldritch Progenitor Hall.

At the same time, Wu Yuan received a message from the realm spirit of the Eldritch Court Voidrealm.

"Congratulations, Overlord Wu Yuan, on becoming a tenth-rank member of the Eldritch Court. You have now gained access to the Eldritch Progenitor Hall..." The content of the message wasn't complex. It mainly described some privileges of an Overlord.

"Congratulations, Overlord Wu Yuan," Overlord Huan Jin, who was flying at high speed beside him, suddenly spoke with a smile.

"You know?" Wu Yuan was slightly surprised.

"Haha, of course," Overlord Huan Jin laughed. "Overlord Wu Yuan, this is something you’ll experience for yourself in the future. There aren't many Overlords in the entire Eldritch Court, so whenever a new member enters the Eldritch Progenitor Hall, all other Overlord members receive a message. I just received the message too."

Wu Yuan nodded in realization. So that's how it was.

"Overlord Wu Yuan, the news of you entering the Eldritch Progenitor Hall has probably spread. Many members of the Eldritch Progenitor Hall are likely there right now," Overlord Huan Jin smiled. "If you have no urgent matters, you should head to the Eldritch Progenitor Hall. I believe you’ll be able to meet quite a few Overlords."

"Alright," Wu Yuan said decisively. "I'll be troubling you to introduce me to them."

"It's nothing," Overlord Huan Jin smiled.

...

Wu Yuan didn’t hesitate. While his true body continued advancing through the Dao Realm with Overlord Huan Jin, Wu Yuan's avatar met up with Overlord Huan Jin's avatar in the Eldritch Court Voidrealm at the Eldritch Progenitor Hall.

The Eldritch Progenitor Hall, though called a hall, was actually quite a vast plane. The entire plane was divided into many sectors, such as treasure vaults, secret codex realms, etc. All Eldritch Court Overlords and eternal lifeforms could use the facilities freely.

The place where Overlords frequented most was the Seventh Hall of the Eldritch Progenitor Hall.

This was where Overlords regularly gathered to chat. Eternal lifeforms occasionally came too, but it was rare.

The Seventh Hall, spanning ten thousand li, was incredibly luxurious. Here, over a hundred figures were chatting among themselves.

When Wu Yuan and Overlord Huan Jin appeared in the hall, all eyes were immediately drawn to them.

"Huan Jin!"

"Huan Jin's here, and the one beside her is Wu Yuan."

"Haha, Wu Yuan has finally come." The Overlords in the hall chamber, each one emanating an eternal Dao resonance, came forward to welcome them. They appeared extremely enthusiastic.

Among them, many Overlords were quite familiar to Wu Yuan. He had met them before and exchanged greetings.

"Wu Yuan." Overlord Hou Jue was also here, smiling as she approached Wu Yuan.

"Let me introduce you. This is Saint Ao Yang, a Dao Pioneer Eternal, and also the current moderator of the Overlord Council," Overlord Hou Jue gestured to a man in silver armor beside him.

"Saint Ao Yang? Hello." Wu Yuan looked at the silver-armored man and nodded slightly.

He had been a bit puzzled earlier. This silver-armored man had an extraordinary bearing, subtly surpassing the many Overlords. Standing there, he was like an eternal painting.

It turned out he was a Dao Pioneer Eternal!

Although Wu Yuan had just been promoted to the tenth rank, his qi refiner self had learned many secrets from the Taiyuan Divine Court’s intelligence archives.

First-step Eternals were called Perennials.

Second-step Eternals were known as Dao Pioneers, but eternal lifeforms at this level usually called themselves Saints.

Third-step Eternals were called True Saints.

"I've long heard of Overlord Wu Yuan's deeds," Saint Ao Yang was quite polite, smiling as he said, "Seeing you today, your reputation is well-deserved. I believe Overlord Wu Yuan will surely attain Sainthood in the near future."

"I'm grateful for the Saint's auspicious words," Wu Yuan smiled.

The surrounding Overlords sighed inwardly as they witnessed this. Saint Ao Yang was responsible for communicating with these Overlords, but he was mostly indifferent to them. Yet he treated Wu Yuan with such politeness and courtesy.

This was the difference in status. Possessing late-stage Overlord strength in just a hundred thousand years, Wu Yuan was destined to be different from ordinary Overlords.

Time flowed on.

One Overlord after another appeared in the Seventh Hall, clearly having rushed over after receiving the message. The number of Overlords in the hall chamber quickly exceeded three hundred, and Wu Yuan interacted and chatted with them one by one.

Wu Yuan understood that he was integrating into a new circle - the circle of Eldritch Court Overlords.

He felt quite emotional. There were only ten Overlords in the Taiyuan Divine Court, including himself. Meanwhile, the number of Overlords in the Eldritch Court’s ranks was astonishing. No wonder it was called one of the greatest factions.

Among these arriving Overlords, multiple possessed third-stage or even fourth-stage Overlord strength.

After two hours, Saint Ao Yang gestured for the assembly to take their seats. The nearly seven hundred Overlords gathered in the Seventh Hall all sat down.

"No council meeting has been scheduled today. Yet nearly seven hundred Overlords have gathered here. Indeed, this is a joyous occasion that should be celebrated," Saint Ao Yang stood in the center of the hall, his gaze sweeping over the Overlords. "After a long time, our Eldritch Court has finally produced another Overlord - Overlord Wu Yuan!

"He is also the 1284th universe-born Overlord from our Eldritch Court in this samsara cycle of heaven and earth.”

Immediately, the nearly seven hundred Overlords present all looked towards Wu Yuan.

One thousand two hundred and eighty-four? Wu Yuan silently pondered in his heart.

The Eldritch Court had thirty-four Saintdom branches. A Saintdom branch had a dozen to as many as forty Overlords. There were also hundreds of Overlords in the Eldritch Court Universe. In the end, it wasn’t surprising that the entire Eldritch Court had over a thousand Overlords in total.

By Wu Yuan's estimate, there were probably about six to seven thousand Overlords in the thirty-six universes of the River of Universes combined.

"We shall follow tradition today," Saint Ao Yang smiled, raising his wine cup and smiling at Wu Yuan. "Overlord Wu Yuan, sempiternal lifeforms eventually reach their end. I wish you success in Dao Enlightenment and a swift advancement to Dao Zenithel!"

"Success in Dao Enlightenment and a swift advancement to Dao Zenithel." In the hall chamber, Overlord Hou Jue, Overlord Ming Zhun, Overlord Huan Jin, and others all raised their wine cups, offering a toast to Wu Yuan.

"Thank you, and I wish all of you success in Dao Enlightenment a swift advancement to Dao Zenithel," Wu Yuan responded similarly.

Eternity! It was the pursuit of every Overlord. Everyone longed for eternal life.

Becoming a Dao Zenithel represented the ultimate end in cultivation, also the desire of every cultivator.

Then, the hundreds of Overlords all put down their wine cups.

"Perfect timing. I've just received news from Wan Yu Tower," Saint Ao Yang smiled. "The new Samsara Rankings have been released. Today, on this joyous occasion of Overlord Wu Yuan joining our ranks, let's announce them together."

Samsara Rankings? Wu Yuan's heart stirred.

According to Wu Yuan's intelligence, the Wan Yu Tower, which surveyed the movements across the megaverse, gathered vast information and compiled them into two major rankings—the Samsara Rankings and the Eternal Rankings.

The Eternal Rankings displayed the power ranking of eternal powerhouses, listing only two hundred individuals. To be included meant one possessed truly terrifying might.

It was divided into primary and secondary rankings. Those on the primary list were all apex powerhouses capable of shaping the fate of the entire cosmic sea. Even those on the secondary list were extraordinary.

Legend had it that the one who topped the Eternal Rankings was none other than the Heavenly Imperator, the supreme leader of the Immortal Court.

Compared to the Eternal Rankings, the Samsara Rankings were considered child’s play, listing the two hundred most powerful Overlords within the River of Universes, similarly divided into primary and secondary rankings.

Whoosh!

With a wave of Saint Ao Yang's hand, a vast array of text, rankings, and corresponding records suddenly materialized on the entirely blank wall at the far end of the hall.

Hmm?

Wu Yuan was momentarily taken aback.

The very last position on the Primary Samsara Rankings was occupied by none other than himself.

Samsara Rankings, Primary List: 100th Place: Wu Yuan (Ling Jiang Saintdom of the Eldritch Court).
