Eternity

Eternity is the concept of reaching the peak of cultivation.

The first step of Eternity is gaining Autarchy, building a Ladder to Heaven. Eternity can also describe the road toward the peak of cultivation. The opinion how true Eternity can be achieved is different between Seals and Thrones.

## Commentary

### First Step of Eternity

#### Va Tapek

“Where else will an outsider such as myself be able to witness someone defending their Dao while building the first step to eternity?” **Chapter 687**

#### Alvod Jondir

He would only live once, but Alvod was fine with that. One shot at eternity was all he needed. **Chapter 783**

### Road of Eternity/ toward the Terminus

#### Iz Tayn

Treasures and background could only take you so far. You needed more if you wanted to walk the *road of eternity*. You needed conviction, you needed purpose. Her grandfather hoped she would find that in here. **Chapter 875**

“Do you believe the road toward the Terminus is a solitary one? That Karmic Threads tie one down on the road to power?” **Chapter 916**

### Peak

#### Leandra

If you are unhappy with my actions, become stronger. Don’t waste your breath on the mundane. The moment you reach the peak and fulfill your fate, you will *gain Eternity*. What will you lack then? Even killing me out vengeance will be as easy as taking a breath.” **Chapter 664**

#### Wal’Zo

*Eternity* – was there even such a thing?

And if this was it, what was the point? Wal’Zo’s heart broke all over again upon seeing his fallen world. These small sections were moved here to honor those who sacrificed everything, yet they had become mockeries of their previous masters. Wal’Zo was even thankful it would soon all be over. He, too, would sink into the river of time, taking this twisted reality with him.

Another wave of reluctance filled his heart as his mind wandered back to that distant past. To those who said no to the Terminus, and set about changing the course of history. To the *Eternal*, who sacrificed herself to keep the flicker of hope alive when all else failed. **Chapter 918**

#### Engo

Far in the future, the universe will reach its Zenith. But the Heavens will not stop changing at that point, nor will cultivators stop imposing their wills onto the fabric of reality. This will lead to the Heavens drifting apart and the Dao growing more discordant. Eventually, the Multiverse cannot function and gets ripped apart as the Dao collapses.

"Some believe this natural cycle of growth and decay is yet another limit meant to be broken. Cultivation is to go against fate so why not break open the Heavens and see what's beyond? Only that way can our potential be truly unlocked. Only that way can the path of cultivation move toward *true Eternity*. The Heavens is the final gatekeeper to that ancient goal. The thrones represent the will of the greatest Emperors, those who have levied their swords at the Terminus."

"Others believe that doing something like that will destroy the road of cultivation. If there is an *Eternity*, it can only be found by perfecting the Heavens and fusing with them rather than destroying the Dao. The Zenith of an Era is the key. If they can seal the Heavens at that moment by taking control of it, they have a chance at *Eternity*." **Chapter 980**
