At this point, Ye Chen felt there was no need for him to personally evolve a world. It would be a great waste of time. It would be better to directly take the Ancient Orchid Great World for himself, thoroughly refine it, and make it his own origin great world. This would also save more time.
However, achieving all this was still premature. How easy was it to completely refine a Sovereign's great world and integrate it into one's own body? It similarly required a great deal of time.
Fortunately, Ye Chen was still very young. His cultivation years were only three centuries. Compared to other experts who spent thousands of years to reach this realm, he was absolutely excessively young. He still had plenty of time to proceed and was not in a great hurry.
Ye Chen's forceful return caused the Gu Lan Holy Church to experience only a brief half-month of fluctuation before everything quickly returned to calm.
Because he was the Battle Saint King, the World Master. He subsequently displayed all sorts of divine miracles, proving he was indeed the Battle Saint King.
He also proclaimed to the world that his earlier framing as a blasphemer by the Holy Church Heavenly God was actually all a conspiracy by the Holy Church Heavenly God. He wanted to completely seize the Gu Lan Holy Church for himself and intended to thoroughly refine the entire Ancient Orchid Great World.
Everything was a conspiracy by the Holy Church Heavenly God. Consequently, for a time, the entire world cursed the Holy Church Heavenly God, who had reached such a level of shamelessness and lack of conscience, framing the Battle Saint King and wanting to seize everything belonging to the World Master for his own use. It was truly too despicable.
No matter what was said, the Ancient Orchid Great World ultimately returned to its former peace. Everything returned to its originally stable track. Moreover, the World Master's heaven-defying return further increased the power of faith. The cohesion of the entire Ancient Orchid Great World was greatly enhanced many times over.
Simultaneously, the news of the Battle Saint King's heaven-defying return quickly caused a huge uproar throughout the myriad realms.
Although there had been some news earlier—in the Feixian Domain, a heavenly burial coffin descended, from which walked out a young, heroic man, incredibly powerful, who withstood an Immortal Ancient Weapon bare-handed and even suppressed and killed a Heavenly King with a raise of his hand, suspected to be the Battle Saint King—it hadn't truly caused much of a stir.
Because the Battle Saint King's self-sacrificial offering in the past was witnessed by many ancient Great Sages. How could it be fake? Naturally, everything was considered mere rumor.
Even the so-called transformation not long ago failed to attract much attention. At most, only those particularly concerned about the Battle Saint King, like Xia Zhidi, went to the Ancient Emperor Realm to properly verify it. Many still did not believe.
But now, several ancient Great Sages personally stepped forward to confirm that the legendary Battle Saint King had indeed made a heaven-defying return.
Once this piece of news spread, it immediately attracted the attention of all and caused a world-shaking uproar.
"What? The Battle Saint King has truly revived!?"
"Is that possible? The Battle Saint King clearly fell. Don't forget, even the Human Sovereign sent an envoy to offer condolences!"
"That's right. The Tyrant Heaven Sovereign and a group of Great Powers went and found no trace of the Battle Saint King's remains. Is it possible the Battle Saint King is still alive?"
"Nothing is impossible. Don't forget, didn't the Battle Saint King die once before? Didn't he also make a heaven-defying return later?"
"Now that you mention it, there really was such an incident!"
The myriad realms were completely shaken, because all of this was too incredible. The scale of the uproar it caused was unprecedented.
Because this was a person who had passed away, a great hero who died protecting the Sealed Boundary Universe, a great hero whom many ancient Great Sages watched sacrifice himself and perish. Now, he had returned in defiance of heaven. It had to be said, this was simply a world-shaking major event.
The myriad realms were in turmoil. Even reclusive, peerless old antiques were startled.
During this time, many ancient Great Sages spared no effort to head to the Ancient Orchid Great World. On one hand, it was to verify the truth of the matter; on the other hand, it was also out of joy.
Having fought together to protect the Tenth Emperor Pass, sharing life and death, they could be considered to have a life-and-death bond. They admired each other's talents, and their emotions were intertwined with many Great Powers.
Even though Ye Chen was still very young, at that time, he spared no effort to protect the Sealed Boundary Universe, winning the respect of all Great Powers, who regarded him as a peer.
Now, his heaven-defying revival and return naturally brought them great joy as well.
Simultaneously, upon learning of the Battle Saint King's heaven-defying return, some also hoped that the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord could make a heaven-defying return. If the Battle Saint King could revive, perhaps the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord could too.
Moreover, and more importantly, when the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord passed away in the past, he had said these words: "Who says death must be the end? Perhaps, it will be a brand new starting point, a brand new journey!"
It was precisely this point that filled everyone with immense joy, believing the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord had not truly fallen. Perhaps he too could be reborn and return in the future.
On this day, the Ancient Orchid Great World was quite lively, because many important figures emerged. Among them, over a dozen ancient Great Sages came from the myriad realms.
These were all true honored guests, esteemed visitors.
All of them were personally invited by Ye Chen into the grand hall within Gu Lan Holy City, where they were warmly received.
Within that magnificent palace hall, over twenty ancient Great Sages appeared, all of whom had participated in protecting the Tenth Emperor Pass in the past.
When these ancient Great Sages saw Ye Chen, they were filled with pleasant surprise, because the fact had become reality. The Battle Saint King was truly still alive. Moreover, what shocked them was that his aura was far stronger than in the past, so powerful that it caused many of the ancient Great Sages present to tremble. That aura was extremely formidable.
"Battle Saint King, what realm are you at now?"
An ancient Great Sage inquired, somewhat trembling.
"It should be considered that of an ancient Great Sage," Ye Chen smiled.
"Should be considered?" The various Great Powers were somewhat puzzled, but they tacitly did not inquire further. Regardless, the current Battle Saint King's combat power was not at all inferior to a true ancient Great Sage. They had even received some news that he could suppress ancient Great Sages.
They knew that the Slaughter Venerable and the Primordial Beast God had both been completely suppressed by the Battle Saint King, giving them a rough understanding of Ye Chen's terrifying combat power.
On this day, the heavenly mighty figures gathered together. Ye Chen took out the finest wines and brews from the Gu Lan Holy Church, along with various immortal-grade delicacies, which were presented one after another.
The heavenly mighty figures were very curious about Ye Chen's revival. He had clearly completely sacrificed himself in a Saintly Sacrifice, so how could he still revive?
"All of this is the blessing of my ancestors," Ye Chen sighed softly.
