In the distant sky, the experts of the Dan Emperor Clan were also present. There were Heaven's Pride of the younger generation led by Imperial Maidens, as well as older-generation Divine Kings here, all revealing complex expressions.
The rise of the human race was an unchangeable fact destined to happen.
Especially the Battle Saint King, who had suppressed two Imperial Sons in succession at the Imperial Son Banquet, slain the Dark Heaven Imperial Son. His brilliance alone illuminated the heavens, incomparable.
Originally, the relationship between the Dan Emperor Clan and the Battle Saint King was destined to be extremely close, because the latter was the Dan Emperor Clan's First Guest Elder.
Unfortunately, because of what happened back then, the two were destined to have no connection.
The Dan Emperor Clan Divine King looked at the old-timer Dan Hong and the super great power Dan Wutian. His sharp gaze made the two unable to meet his eyes, lowering their heads in shame.
Back then, it was precisely these two who refused to open the city gates and even tried to take the opportunity to extort a sum.
Now, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. The Battle Saint King, once hunted down, had now reached such heights, with an incomparably brilliant future. As expected, another peerless Great Emperor would rise in the future.
Alas, the Dan Emperor Clan missed the opportunity, failing to establish good relations with such a future Supreme One.
At the same time, Sovereign Hua Xu personally arranged a luxurious sky divine island for the humans. Before trading the souls of the Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens, the humans could temporarily reside here.
On the divine island, palaces stretched continuously, all luxurious divine halls, quite extraordinary, with cave heavens and blessed lands, very suitable for cultivation.
That night, the various human powerhouses gathered together, holding a grand feast in the divine hall to celebrate their success.
Naturally, Divine Kings Qing Huang, Tian Ya, Tong Tian, and other non-human Divine Kings also appeared. Divine King Silver Moon, the White-clothed Beauty, Barbarian Venerable King, Qiu Wuque, and others were also invited to appear. Even some powerful clans close to the human race were among them, making it very lively.
Without a doubt, Ye Chen became the focus, attracting much attention. Many human powerhouses came forward, and many human Heaven's Pride also appeared. Looking at these Imperial Sons, Imperial Maidens, and Strongest Young Supremes standing at the absolute peak of the human younger generation, their eyes shone as if seeing idols, unable to help but be moved and lose composure.
Naturally, Ye Chen was the most eye-catching. Many young Heaven's Pride approached him, and he was also very amiable, completely lacking the forcefulness and domineering aura he showed when dealing with the alien races.
Yu Qing was peerlessly beautiful and ethereal, A Beinu was enchantingly matchless. The two had their own charms, yet were equally eye-catching, making many male Heaven's Pride burn with passion and then feel dejected, because both were the beloved wives of the Battle Saint King, destined to be out of reach.
The other Imperial Sons, Imperial Maidens, and Strongest Young Supremes were also eye-catching, as they represented the embodiment of the strongest combat power of the human younger generation.
"Yuan Yang!"
Ye Chen raised a cup of immortal brew fine wine towards Yuan Yang Divine King and toasted with a smile, "I'm very happy you could appear today."
Yuan Yang Divine King was a noticeable man wherever he went, holy light encircling his body like immortal radiance, so transcendent and otherworldly, more immortal than an immortal. He smiled faintly, possessing a special temperament, and said, "As fellow humans, it is my duty."
Ye Chen's face carried a trace of solemnity as he said, "It's been many years since we last met, and you have also become increasingly unfathomable. For Hao Gongtian to encounter you was his misfortune."
The battle between the two strongest of the younger generation was something only those at the level of Strongest Young Supreme and above truly understood what had happened.
When the great battle erupted at the Imperial Son Banquet, hadn't Yuan Yang Divine King, like the Human Imperial Son, hidden his absolute strength, not wanting to attract too much attention?
It could be said that even before that battle began, Ye Chen already knew the outcome.
Yuan Yang Divine King smiled, appearing very transcendent: "I can't compare to you, cultivating Chaos. Once you succeed in the future, you will be invincible, perhaps having a chance to reach the absolute peak and transcend eternity."
Ye Chen gently shook his head: "Transcending eternity is not that easy. Even wanting to achieve the Great Perfection of the Chaos Dao is not that simple. Throughout the ages, how many Heaven's Pride and outstanding talents, with talents not inferior to you and me, have been born in the long river of time, no one knows. Even someone as strong as the Great Saint Emperor did not truly succeed."
"I believe you will transcend."
His smile held an additional trace of mysterious meaning.
Ye Chen turned and walked towards another person—the Human Imperial Son!
"It's been many years. Your cultivation has improved far beyond the past, almost catching up to your father, Senior Human King, back then," Ye Chen said.
The Human Imperial Son rarely revealed a trace of a smile and said, "I haven't caught up to Father yet. Even though that lifetime was just his failed Samsara, he still reached the peak of the ninth tribulation Divine King realm. I haven't reached the Divine King domain yet."
"Not far off, just a hair's breadth away, and you can step into the Divine King domain," Ye Chen said, then looked at him and suddenly asked, "Human King, is he the Human Sovereign?"
The Human Imperial Son nodded: "Correct, he is the Human Sovereign. Human King was just one of his Samsara lifetimes."
The supreme existence within the Immortal Heavenly Pass behind the Purple Mansion Holy Land had said it, the Great Saint Emperor had also said it—the Human Sovereign had undergone Samsara lifetime after lifetime.
Time-Space Emperor and Angel Divine Emperor had also said that someone had undergone Samsara lifetime after lifetime, clearly referring to the Human Sovereign as well.
The Human Sovereign himself had also admitted to undergoing Samsara lifetime after lifetime, though one lifetime had failed and required more time to complete.
Clearly, that failed lifetime was the Human King lifetime.
That lifetime, Human King entered the lower realm's Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, wanting to impact the Ancient Sovereign realm.
The Human King of that time was already at the Divine King peak realm, hence called the Ancient Divine King in the Little Divine Realm world. Unfortunately, he encountered Ancient Sovereigns from the alien race who had not completely left during the Mythical Era, and not just one.
To eradicate the alien remnants, the Human Sovereign's reincarnation that lifetime, Human King, did not hesitate to sacrifice everything to fight, ultimately falling helplessly, leading to the failure of his Samsara.
And the Human Imperial Son was the offspring of that lifetime's Human King. In Ye Chen's previous life, there was also a saying calling him the Divine King's Son.
However, there was one point Ye Chen always felt puzzled about: "It's said the Human Sovereign underwent Samsara lifetime after lifetime. Could it be that the successive Human Sovereigns throughout history are also—"
Suddenly, Ye Chen thought of an extremely bold possibility, causing his face to show shock.
The Human Imperial Son seemed to know the thought in Ye Chen's heart and nodded solemnly: "Correct, the successive Human Sovereigns throughout history are all reincarnations of my father. Since the beginning of the Myriad Domains Era of the Sealed Universe, throughout the ages, it has always been my father who served as the Human Sovereign. Even when my father reincarnated as Human King and his Samsara failed, no one else ascended to take the Human Sovereign position."
Ye Chen was shocked. Could it be that the path of the Human Sovereign throughout the ages was all a deception?
Apart from the Human Sovereign's reincarnations, how many Human Sovereign competition battles had been held throughout the ages? How many Heaven's Pride emerged in the great eras, yet ultimately no one could successfully ascend to the Human Sovereign position?
The Human Imperial Son shook his head: "The path of the Human Sovereign is not a deception. Rather, my father's reincarnations each time could ultimately defeat all great enemies and successfully ascend to the Human Sovereign throne. Historically, it's not that there haven't been peerless Heaven's Pride who could shake my father's imperial position. Unfortunately, in the end, they were always just a bit short, because they were never Supreme Heaven's Pride. Even if my father wasn't one at the time of reincarnation, he would ultimately transform into the Tenth Heaven. Otherwise, how could he protect the Sealed Universe's safety lifetime after lifetime?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen also nodded, but still had doubts, his eyes radiating divine light: "Is the Human Sovereign... an Emperor?"
