"Chaos, the origin of all Daos, the origin of all things, can also grind away all traces."
"Even for Emperors and Supreme Immortals, it is extremely difficult to deduce the location of the Chaos Origin. There are too many obstacles."
"Moreover, during this process of deduction, many unusual events occurred. There were all kinds of ominous phenomena, and even the River of Time appeared. Terrifying existences from past Era Epochs jumped out to obstruct, but they were all beings of the past, already vanished."
"It can be said that to deduce the Origin Land, a single Emperor or Supreme Immortal could not possibly succeed. The scope involved is too vast, the karma of Chaos is too terrifying. Even Emperors and Supreme Immortals are unwilling to provoke it."
"Back then, it was fortunate to have Qin Shi Huang, the peerless Emperor through the ages. He shook the ancient and illuminated the present, possessing supreme might, shattered many terrifying existences, and was also the main force in the deduction."
"Under Qin Shi Huang's leadership, the Emperors and Supreme Immortals of all heavens joined forces and spent a hundred thousand years before finally deducing the precise location of the Origin Land."
The Golden Crow Great Emperor's words were calm, but Ye Chen could fully understand the difficulty those numerous Emperors and Supreme Immortals faced when jointly deducing the Chaos Origin Land back then. The consequences were akin to provoking the entire Chaos Sea, unimaginable. A single Emperor or Supreme Immortal could absolutely not deduce it.
If the entire Chaos Sea were to retaliate, the consequences could obliterate the eternal firmament, something no one could withstand. Even the Ancient Chaos Universe would likely perish.
Of course, generally speaking, the Chaos Sea would not retaliate fully; it was merely deduction, not a complete reversal of all Chaos rules.
Yet, during this deduction process, with over ten Emperors and Supreme Immortals, including a peerless Emperor like Qin Shi Huang, it still took a hundred thousand years to succeed. One can imagine how arduous it was.
Every Emperor and Supreme Immortal is a wise being. Mastering one Dao leads to mastery of ten thousand Daos; seeing through past and present is not difficult for them. Yet, they still needed to expend such effort in deduction.
Among them, there was Qin Shi Huang, the peerless Emperor through the ages, as the main force.
Indeed, anything involving "Eternity" contains immense karma and is filled with countless difficulties.
"Even after successfully deducing the Chaos Origin Land, the process of opening the Origin Ancient Path was relatively turbulent. Many terrifying, destructive disasters frequently appeared. Even prehistoric creatures from multiple Era Epochs ago would emerge, some not the least bit weaker than Emperors or Supreme Immortals. The most dreadful curses would also inexplicably surge forth."
"Overall, opening the Origin Ancient Path is accompanied by ominousness. Even Emperors and Supreme Immortals are no exception; it is unavoidable."
When speaking of the process of opening the Origin Ancient Path, the Golden Crow Great Emperor frowned, his tone heavy. They had experienced far too many bizarre events beyond ordinary imagination.
Ye Chen's heart trembled. Was the Origin Ancient Path accompanied by ominousness because the entire Chaos Sea did not permit anyone to penetrate everything and directly reach the Origin Land that held the key to achieving "Eternity"?
But he did not interrupt the Golden Crow Great Emperor. He continued listening, wanting to understand more comprehensively the various aspects of the Origin Ancient Path and the Origin Land.
"Although it is always accompanied by ominousness, we are ultimately Emperors, Sovereigns, and Immortals. We firmly believe in our own invincibility. Once the Emperor Dao or Immortal Dao manifests, it shatters eternity; nothing can stop us."
Ye Chen nodded. Indeed, at the supreme level of Emperors and Supreme Immortals, they stand at the very peak of the Chaos Sea. In the vast mortal world, they are hailed as invincible. Under normal circumstances, with their existence transcending the River of Time, they can live forever, enduring eternally.
At that point, perhaps their only goal is transcendence, to become the legendary "Eternal" ones.
Even though various ominous events on the Origin Ancient Path constantly loomed, it still could not stop their advance. They persevered, unwavering as ever.
But at this moment, a faint trace of sorrow appeared on the Golden Crow Great Emperor's face, making Ye Chen's heart tighten as he recalled the most terrifying Emperor War recorded in history.
"The ominous events encountered in the past, though fearsome, were all within controllable limits. But since that day—"
"When I and the other Emperors and Supreme Immortals were opening the Origin Ancient Path, we encountered an immortal seal. It contained multiple layers of Emperor Dao and Immortal Dao sealing power, left behind by more than one Emperor or Supreme Immortal. It made even us back then somewhat wary."
"Because we were all wary. Since there were these Emperor Dao and Immortal Dao seals, this sealed place must be extraordinary. No one dared to tear it open lightly, fearing they might provoke the greatest ominousness."
"Moreover, before the sealed place stood an ancient stele. But it had existed for too long, and ominous aura permeated the sealed area, eroding most of the stele. Only some ancient characters remained—Emperor characters and Immortal characters—recording that this was an ominous forbidden land. Mortals must not break the seal, or the most terrifying ominousness in the world would descend."
"But at that stage, we had already opened the path to great depths, and we could not bypass this sealed place. Otherwise, the coordinates would be lost, and who knows how long it would take to deduce them again. More importantly, the assembled Emperors and Supreme Immortals back then numbered over ten, a force comparable to the entire Emperor-level power of the Ancient Chaos Universe. We believed that even if the strongest Emperor or Immortal King-level ominousness appeared, we could suppress it. We feared nothing."
"Moreover, with the peerless Emperor through the ages, Qin Shi Huang, presiding, we were fearless. Thus, we decided to spare no effort, to tear open those multiple layers of Emperor Dao and Immortal Dao seals, even though the stele recorded it as the most terrifying ominous forbidden land!"
"But precisely because of this, we made the most mistaken decision of our lives!"
The Golden Crow Great Emperor's face showed a trace of grief.
"Because of our arrogance, because of our fearless belief in invincibility, we all paid the most terrible price. We tore open the Emperor Dao and Immortal Dao seals and unleashed the most terrifying ominousness—the Chaos Burial Ground."
"Regarding the various aspects of the Chaos Burial Ground, you have learned from the Qin Imperial Clan. It is the root that once buried an entire Era Epoch."
"In the distant past, even several Era Epochs before I attained the Dao and became an Emperor, the Chaos Burial Ground represented the greatest ominousness in the Chaos Sea. It once annihilated the entire Ancient Chaos Universe, causing infinite suffering among living beings, staining the Chaos Sea with blood. It directly caused that Era Epoch to end prematurely, buried in the past ages."
When mentioning the Chaos Burial Ground, only ancient Great Emperors and Supreme Immortals—such supreme beings—know more comprehensively. Otherwise, what is learned from the Qin Imperial Clan is only partial, knowing it is terrifying but not understanding that the Chaos Burial Ground even annihilated the entire Ancient Chaos Universe.
