"Samsara Great Emperor!"
Just those four words alone were enough to shake the ages, causing even Ye Chen's heart and mind to tremble. This was undoubtedly a peerless Great Emperor.
Wushi Monarch said, "Among the many emperors of the Mythical Era, the Samsara Great Emperor cannot be considered exceptionally powerful, but he was by no means weak. He was extremely mysterious, so mysterious that few knew his true origins, and even his appearance was unclear. However, it is undeniable that he belonged to the human race, as the Samsara Great Emperor himself once mentioned."
"Even during my years of roaming the Sealed World Universe, I never encountered this most mysterious Samsara Great Emperor."
"But back then, the Battle Saint Ancestor also mentioned that if we were to discuss who in the Sealed World Universe, or even the entire Chaos Sea, had the deepest understanding of Samsara, the Samsara Great Emperor would definitely be among them, with no one surpassing him—at most, there might be those who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him."
Even the Battle Saint Ancestor held him in such high esteem, which gave an idea of the Samsara Great Emperor's extraordinariness.
Moreover, upon careful thought, the Great Dao cultivated by the current Human Sovereign was greatly related to Samsara—constantly undergoing reincarnation, lifetime after lifetime, being reborn, and repeatedly ascending to the position of Human Sovereign, wielding the authority to rule over the myriad heavens and domains.
And the true origin of the Human Sovereign was a certain Ancient Great Emperor from the Mythical Era. His identity might already be quite clear. Now, upon careful consideration, Ye Chen felt continuous tremors in his heart.
Could it be that the Human Sovereign was that most mysterious Samsara Great Emperor from back then?
Although the conjecture seemed somewhat absurd, it was not impossible.
Ye Chen voiced his conjecture. Wushi Monarch gently shook his head. "All of this is merely your conjecture. It's not necessarily the Samsara Great Emperor. In fact, regarding Samsara, all Emperors and Supreme Immortals have a deep understanding. The Samsara Great Emperor merely surpassed others in this aspect, but that doesn't necessarily mean he is the Human Sovereign."
Ye Chen nodded, no longer discussing this topic.
However, the Ten Revolutions Heaven-Defying Transformation served as a potential path for Ye Chen to use in the future if he failed to achieve Chaos Becoming Emperor.
The Ten Revolutions Heaven-Defying Transformation was a path of reincarnation and rebirth leading to complete transformation. Wushi Monarch was not entirely confident about Ye Chen's hope of achieving Chaos Becoming Emperor, and he also frowned slightly. After all, the hope of Chaos Becoming Emperor was too low. The decline of epoch after epoch throughout history, with no one ever successfully taking that final step, was enough to explain everything.
If Ye Chen one day reached the ultimate limit of the Chaos path but still could not take that final step, he could choose the Ten Revolutions Heaven-Defying Transformation—reincarnating, being reborn, undergoing complete transformation, and walking another path anew. Perhaps there would be hope of proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor.
And the Samsara chapters of the many Emperor Scriptures and Immortal Scriptures would help him understand the meaning of Samsara more thoroughly during reincarnation, infinitely expanding the opportunities of Samsara, ultimately allowing him to truly succeed in his heaven-defying transformation.
Ye Chen fell silent. What would happen if he failed on the Chaos path one day?
He found it somewhat unimaginable. Because of that blood-soaked future, if he didn't achieve Chaos Becoming Emperor, if he didn't perfect the Chaos Great Dao, would he be able to reverse that future of a blood-stained Emperor's body filled with sorrow?
Even if he proved the Dao and became an Emperor, what then?
If all the people around him were lost, would there still be hope in living?
Wushi Monarch did not know what Ye Chen was thinking, and all of this could not be told to others, as it involved the future and could not be lightly disclosed; otherwise, forbidden heavenly thunder would descend.
Wushi Monarch patted Ye Chen's shoulder and said, "You should diligently study the profound meanings of all the Emperor Scriptures and Immortal Scriptures. It will be of great help to you in stepping into the Divine King Realm. To become a Divine King through the Chaos Dao, hailed as a Chaos Divine King, the Divine King Tribulation you will face is destined to be extraordinary. So, study diligently and don't rely solely on your own exploration. I cannot give you too much help. What you can ultimately rely on is yourself!"
"I understand!" Ye Chen said. The profound meanings of the Emperor Scriptures, Immortal Scriptures, and other texts before him were already the greatest help Wushi Monarch could give him. Ye Chen had never been a person of excessive demands. He was satisfied and very grateful.
Wushi Monarch quietly left. Only Ye Chen and the Great Emperor's reincarnation body remained in the Emperor's Hall.
The Great Emperor's reincarnation body moved, transforming into a beam of light that entered Ye Chen's body. The two Chaos Saint Soul infants merged into one.
The Emperor's Hall was sealed. Wushi Monarch had given the order that without his or Ye Chen's permission, no one was allowed to set foot in the Emperor's Hall.
Looking at the hundreds of divine light spheres floating before him, each containing the profound meanings of scriptures for the three great realms.
Ye Chen naturally understood the principle of biting off more than one could chew. With a casual grab, a divine light sphere slowly landed in his palm. With a thought, a surge of Chaos Saint Soul power rushed out from between his brows, entering it and actively immersing itself in the profound meanings of the Divine King Realm. Immediately, the sound of the Great Dao's divine music resounded, echoing within his soul.
"The so-called Divine King Realm is not a true major realm. It is merely a transitional realm opened up for Great Powers on their path to the Sovereign domain, allowing Cultivators in the world to gradually comprehend and obtain the overlord-level supreme power belonging to the Ancient Monarch domain within the Divine King Realm. It also allows one's own body to continuously grow stronger, reaching the most basic conditions for becoming an Ancient Monarch."
"It must be known that once the Origin Inner World is formed from the Inner World, that is the ultimate leap, the moment one becomes a true Ancient Monarch."
"However, when the Inner World truly becomes an Origin World, world power will surge through the Cultivator's limbs and bones. Yet, no matter how powerful a Great Power-level physical body is, it is difficult to withstand such majestic Origin Inner World power."
"An Origin World can nurture all living beings and possesses its own basic power of the myriad Daos. If the physical body is not strong enough and one forcibly advances into the Ancient Monarch domain, the Origin Inner World will literally explode the Cultivator's body, shattering it to pieces, destroying both form and spirit."
"Therefore, the Divine King Realm is the transitional realm for Great Powers to reach Ancient Monarchs!"
"In this transitional Divine King Realm, using the power of the myriad Daos of heaven and earth, it transforms into successive terrifying Divine King Tribulations, continuously tempering one's form and spirit, strengthening and elevating them time and again, reaching a level capable of withstanding the Origin Inner World."
"Once that step is reached, it is the true moment to take the final step and immediately achieve the status of an Ancient Monarch."
"However, the terror of those successive Divine King Tribulations is in no way inferior to major realm tribulations. The power of the myriad Daos of heaven and earth manifests and descends from the sky, continuously tempering the Cultivator. Those who cannot truly persevere will also have their form and spirit annihilated within the Divine King Tribulation, meeting their demise."
These were all descriptions of the Divine King Realm. To achieve the status of an Ancient Monarch from a Great Power's body, either one's physical body must be strong enough to withstand the extremely violent power of the Inner World advancing to become an Origin Inner World in one go—the ultimate leap—and become an Ancient Monarch who dominates an era.
