Will smiled and said, "Qian Yue, you are now a giant in the alchemy world. Look, so many alchemists want to follow you now."
Ye Chen merely smiled. "That's only because the Dan Emperor Clan is unwilling to publicly lecture on alchemy. Otherwise, the Dan Emperor Clan, which possesses true alchemy grandmasters, would have appeal countless times greater than mine, a pseudo-alchemy grandmaster who only managed to refine a ninth-grade divine pill by luck."
Will shook his head. "Those imperial clans stand aloof, having obtained the strongest Dan Emperor inheritance, peerless in the world. How could they look favorably upon other alchemists? They simply disdain to acknowledge them."
After all, the Dan Emperor was the number one alchemist throughout the ages. In this field, no one could surpass him. Naturally, his descendants in the imperial clan looked down on other alchemists from their lofty heights.
Ye Chen just smiled. Look down on other alchemists?
Perhaps in this vast world, there were alchemist figures even more formidable than their Dan Emperor Clan.
There is always a higher heaven beyond the heavens, and a greater man beyond the man.
"But it's also good," Ye Chen said. "With the addition of these alchemists, the Light Imperial Domain will become even stronger. After all, even those imperial clans, immortal clans, and royal clans treat alchemists with great respect. Pills can often solve many problems, and many powerful figures are willing to owe favors to these alchemists."
The addition of alchemists and the existence of the Alchemy Palace could invisibly increase the overall foundation of the Light Imperial Domain.
Will's gaze turned to the distance, where he saw massive heavenly dragons soaring across the distant sky. They were of various colors—some with wings, some covered entirely in ice crystals, some wreathed in fiery red flames, and so on—each different, all being dragon race powerhouses who had come to follow.
Looking at other regions, many other powerhouses were also streaking through the sky, gathering in various places.
Surveying the entire Reverse Slaughter Emperor World, compared to when it was first obtained, everything had undergone a tremendous, earth-shaking change. The entire Reverse Slaughter Emperor World seemed to have regained its vitality, appearing vibrant and full of life once more. Cities rose from the ground, there were skyborne divine cities suspended in the air, and many floating divine islands.
Numerous, monumental changes were taking place here.
Now, the Light Imperial Domain was truly a colossal entity, truly risen.
And this was only the beginning of its rise. There was still immense room for growth in the future. One day, it might not be impossible for it to become an eternal inheritance no weaker than an imperial clan.
Beside him, Ye Chen looked at Will and casually waved his hand. Immediately, numerous divine weapons and sharp tools appeared—precisely the Dao weapons and artifacts for the Heavenly King, Great Power, and Divine King realms obtained from the four imperial clans. Many divine weapons and artifacts floated before them. "Will, these Dao weapons can now be used to make the Light Imperial Domain even stronger."
Will immediately refused. "Qian Yue, this won't do. These are Dao weapons and artifacts you obtained yourself. There's no need to give them to me."
Ye Chen smiled. "Are you still being polite with me? Although the Light Imperial Domain looks very strong now, you also understand that the Reverse Slaughter Great Emperor perished, the Emperor World shattered, the Emperor Weapon broke, and of the many supreme powerhouses who followed him in the past, who didn't die? How many Dao weapons and artifacts remain intact? These Dao weapons and artifacts might not compare to Sovereign Immortal Weapons, but they can greatly strengthen the foundational forces. In the future, even if disaster strikes, building up the foundational forces will be a formidable power that cannot be ignored."
After some thought, Will also felt this made great sense. Ye Chen was now basically alone; the forces under his command were either in the Sealed Universe or on the Ultimate Ancient Path, so he had no use for so many divine weapons and artifacts.
As for Divine King Dao Weapons?
He possessed the Supreme Ancient Tower, which was even more extraordinary than a Sovereign Immortal Weapon.
Finally, Ye Chen reminded him, "Will, you can open the Emperor World and take in a large number of people. Let them establish hundreds of nations within the Emperor World, then multiply and thrive for generations, allowing the Light Imperial Domain to proliferate more quickly. Then you can try to condense the three powers of Faith Power, the power of mortal thoughts, and the power of destiny. These three mortal powers all have immense uses."
He had once tried walking such a path himself, finding it greatly beneficial on the cultivation path, hence he reminded Will.
Will nodded. "I will."
Time flew by.
The wheel of time rolled forward, never stopping its advance for anyone.
In the blink of an eye, another ten years had passed.
The contention among the myriad races intensified, and the competition among the younger generation grew even fiercer.
The rankings on the Human Ranking and Earth Ranking changed even more frequently, with shifts occurring almost daily.
Some ascended the rankings, while others fell off gloomily.
So-called geniuses were never in short supply in the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
Not to mention the myriad races of the heavens, even the top one hundred and eight Ancient God Clans and three thousand royal clans successively produced more Heaven's Prides and Outstanding Talents.
The Golden Great Era was beginning. Countless Heaven's Prides and Outstanding Talents also continuously entered the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain via the Supreme Ancient Path. The Ten Heavens young generation's supremes were no longer the myths they once were in the eyes of the world. Although they couldn't be seen everywhere, it could be said there were considerably more than before.
All of this indicated one thing: an immortal, glorious Great Era had arrived, unprecedented.
This era's Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain would become the strongest era in history, surpassing all others.
Young generation's supremes walked the mortal world, the descendants of Emperors and Immortals strode proudly, displaying various glorious battle achievements. They remained among the most powerful, the focus of all attention, the goals all the younger generation looked up to and pursued.
Countless members of the younger generation, old and new, gradually caught up to the older generation of powerhouses.
This was no longer the era of the older generation; they would gradually be replaced by the younger generation, who would dominate the rise and fall of this vast heaven and earth.
On the Heaven Ranking, more figures gradually appeared—all Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao descendants, and the strongest young generation's supremes.
Such figures possessed the most terrifying talent. Cultivating for one year was equivalent to decades or even a century for others. Over the ten-year period, naturally, many had improved. Their cultivation was greater than before, increasingly unfathomable, powerful beyond description. In terms of combat power, they were sufficient to threaten the Divine King realm.
The outside world was turbulent under the surface, with fierce contention among Heaven's Prides.
At the same time, within the Light Imperial Domain, compared to the time of its establishment ten years prior, it appeared many times more prosperous.
Many originally desolate places now had cities rising from the ground, with countless towns and villages. The population had also increased manyfold.
There were humans and other races, though humans remained the majority.
Every town and even village displayed a divine statue of Will wearing the Emperor's crown and seated upon the Emperor's throne. The people of the world paid homage and worshipped, their sole object of faith.
Clearly, Will had heeded Ye Chen's words and begun walking the path of Faith Power.
Everything appeared so vibrant and flourishing.
On this day, the Ten Heavens Emperor Hall announced a momentous piece of news—
In three months, the Mythical Ruins would open!
