Half a month later, when the storm surrounding the renaming of the Battle Saint Hall, the abdication of the Saint Monarch, and Ye Chen's assumption of leadership over the Chaos Heavenly Mansion had gradually subsided, numerous high-ranking members of the human race gathered in the main hall of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion.
Including the Golden Crow Great Emperor, the Sovereign of Formlessness, the Worldless Emperor Lord, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, and others, scions and daughters from other imperial clans, the strongest young supremes, and Divine Kings from the Radiant Imperial Domain all appeared, assembled together.
This hall was also known within the Chaos Heavenly Mansion as the Chaos Heavenly Hall.
Within the Heavenly Hall, the two supreme figures, the Golden Crow Great Emperor and the Sovereign of Formlessness, sat upon the highest divine thrones. On their left and right were the Worldless Emperor Lord, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, and the Old Sovereign Tongtian, followed by the others.
This was a meeting. The chaos of the Chaos Burial Ground had already concluded, and the human race had also lingered on this abandoned old Primordial Path of Origins for a sufficiently long time, nearly a hundred years in total. It was time to leave, to return to the land of mythical ruins, and further, to return to the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain.
However, this time, the human race's gains were immense, receiving a tremendous boost. The future was promising; they would undoubtedly dominate directly within the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain.
Especially the Tomb of Heaven's Fall, which would nurture a sufficient number of super-powerful experts. For the Sealed Boundary Universe, which had been in decline since the beginning of this epoch, it could be considered an ultimate treasure.
"The chaos of the Chaos Burial Ground has been suppressed once again. The Demon-Slaying Demon Emperor has been completely dealt with, and the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Self Body has also been destroyed. With no further hidden dangers, my imperial clan, the Qin Family, need not continue guarding the Ninth Heavenly Pass. We can follow and leave, entering the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain," said the Sovereign of Formlessness. Within the entire Qin imperial clan, he possessed supreme authority, the highest voice aside from the Eternal First Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Even the Worldless Emperor Lord was slightly inferior.
Naturally, the Worldless Emperor Lord would not oppose his master, the Sovereign of Formlessness's decision; on the contrary, he strongly agreed.
The Qin imperial clan had guarded the Ninth Heavenly Pass for endless eons, an entire epoch. If not for the Demon-Slaying Demon Emperor, they should have left long ago.
Now, it was time to leave. They could go to contend for supremacy, or they could return to the Sealed Boundary Universe to resist the great enemy of the alien races.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor also nodded. "The Golden Crow Imperial Clan can follow the human race in leaving the old Primordial Path of Origins. However, I will remain here, preparing to enter seclusion for a period to completely return to my former Great Perfection Emperor realm, and even attempt to impact the Strongest Emperor realm, like the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, Qin Shi Huang, and the Battle Saint Ancestor."
Within the Chaos Heavenly Hall, everyone was solemn, filled with shock and fervor.
A Strongest Emperor, an invincible being in the Chaos Sea who stood above the Supreme Ones—once such a being appeared, it would be an unparalleled, immense boon for the entire Sealed Boundary Universe.
Moreover, given their relationship, once the Golden Crow Great Emperor became such an invincible being of the Chaos Sea, he would certainly not stand idly by regarding the human race. If the Sealed Boundary Universe faced peril, he would lend aid. He was the great hope of the entire Sealed Boundary Universe.
Beside him, the Sovereign of Formlessness clasped his fists and said earnestly, "I, Formlessness, wish you, Fellow Daoist, early success in your breakthrough."
The Golden Crow Great Emperor also clasped his fists. "I also wish you, Fellow Daoist, success in your accumulation and early ascension to this realm!"
Without a doubt, both supreme beings possessed the potential to impact the Strongest Emperor realm, filling the human race with hope.
Once two Strongest Emperors appeared, even if the alien ancient universe wanted to invade again, they would have to think twice.
After all, every Strongest Emperor in the world possessed the heaven-defying capability to slay true Supreme Ones.
"May I ask, Senior, when will we leave?" someone inquired.
"No hurry. Before leaving, we need to resolve all issues, especially the problem of this Chaos Holy Realm's origin," the Sovereign of Formlessness gently raised his head. His gaze was so profound, as if piercing through everything in an instant, also seeing the unfathomable depths at the very apex of the heavens.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor also smiled.
Beside them, the Worldless Emperor Lord, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, and the Old Sovereign Tongtian all became serious. The two supreme beings were about to address the issue of the Chaos Holy Realm's origin.
"The origin of the Chaos Holy Realm!?" The others were stunned, then everyone's hearts trembled.
It must be known that inheritors of the Emperor Dao or Immortal Dao, gaining the support of a fragmentary emperor realm or immortal realm, could wield world-destroying divine might not inferior to that of an Ancient Sovereign. A Great Perfection origin emperor realm or immortal realm was even more formidable.
Take the Golden Crow Great Emperor, for instance. He was merely an emperor soul fragment, yet he was so powerful now. While partly due to his own reasons, it was more because of the Great Perfection Emperor realm, granting him partial Supreme One-level might.
And the Chaos Holy Realm, formerly the Heavenly Emperor Realm, was formed from the fusion of two-thirds of the fragmentary origin sovereign realms of the five fallen Ancient Sovereigns from the Chaos Burial Ground in ancient times. In terms of sheer vastness alone, it surpassed the origin emperor realms and immortal realms of Supreme Ones. Perhaps only the origin worlds of Strongest Emperors or Immortal Kings could compare, or perhaps it was even larger.
Similarly, it could be inferred that the origin of such a Chaos Holy Realm was absolutely extraordinary, capable of wielding what kind of world-shaking power.
An Emperor Lord?
Perhaps not inferior to a Supreme One!
Thinking of this possibility, everyone's minds were greatly shaken, and infinite fervor arose within them.
Once one mastered such a Chaos Holy Realm origin, perhaps they could possess infinite divine might comparable to a Supreme One. At that time, even if not a true Emperor or Supreme Immortal, they would not be far off, able to stand at the peak of the pyramid in the Chaos Sea.
However, the Golden Crow Great Emperor frowned slightly. "But this origin has already given birth to its own will, possessing sentience. Dealing with it would be somewhat troublesome."
The Great Emperor's seemingly ordinary words once again stirred a tidal wave of shock in everyone's hearts.
Because the Chaos Holy Realm origin had actually given birth to a will, possessing true sentience!
It must be known that the more powerful something is between heaven and earth, unless it is a Chaos Holy Spirit, the more difficult it is to give birth to its own sentience and will.
The cycle of the Heavenly Dao has its rules; it cannot give birth to overly perfect existences. If the origin of the Chaos Holy Realm gave birth to a will, it might be comparable to a Supreme One—unimaginable, and furthermore, it could manipulate the infinite might of the entire Chaos Holy Realm. Who could stop it?
It could likely annihilate everything!
Just like the Empty Primordial Heaven and Earth that Ye Chen encountered before. For such an origin heaven and earth to give birth to its own sentience was already extraordinary, somewhat inconceivable. But now, the Chaos Holy Realm origin, countless times vaster and greater, had also given birth to its own sentience and will. How heaven-defying must that be?
Perhaps truly not inferior to a Supreme One!
Just thinking of this possibility made almost everyone's hearts tremble.
Ye Chen also sighed silently. No wonder even the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, when trying to refine the origin of this vast realm before, couldn't deeply perceive it. It had already given birth to its own sentience and will.
At this moment, he felt a sense of belated fear. If the Chaos Holy Realm origin had become enraged and attacked back then, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body probably wouldn't have been its match.
Fortunately, the origin did not attack.
"If we really attack the origin... but the origin doesn't seem to be an enemy of our human race. Even during the calamity of the Chaos Burial Ground, it didn't appear to aid the Chaos Burial Ground or target us," an elderly Divine King spoke softly, causing many to fall silent.
Was it really necessary to resolve it?
From the current perspective, the Chaos Holy Realm origin didn't seem to be targeting the human race's side. On the contrary, it seemed quite neutral, allowing the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body to overthrow the sovereignty of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Self Body's Heavenly Emperor Hall and claim it for himself. It didn't even take action against them during the chaos of the Chaos Burial Ground.
Did it still need to be dealt with?
Many felt it was perhaps too ruthless, somewhat unwilling. The Chaos Holy Realm origin was merely neutral, not aiding either side.
Yet now they were going to attack the origin; it seemed somewhat unrighteous.
"Is it really just neutral and not aiding either side?" the Sovereign of Formlessness said lightly, his words seeming to carry another meaning.
Everyone was startled. There seemed to be some hidden circumstances.
The Worldless Emperor Lord stood tall and imposing. "It's not neutral. It had reservations, thinking of ambushing us. Unfortunately, the situation kept changing unexpectedly, so the origin didn't dare act. Heh."
Everyone was astonished. There was actually such hidden circumstances, truly causing people's expressions to change.
If the origin had really attacked back then, the Chaos Burial Ground might have truly emerged.
"There's no time like the present. Let's deal with it now to avoid long nights with many dreams!" the Sovereign of Formlessness said, then raised his head, looking upward with a slight smile. "Origin, no need to hide any longer. Did you really think you could spy on us Supreme Ones silently and unnoticed?"
Whoosh—
The two Supreme Ones directly vanished, their whereabouts unknown.
"Let's go, go out and see!"
Quickly, the Worldless Emperor Lord and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body reacted, also breaking through the void and rushing towards the very apex of the heavens.
Others also wanted to rush over, but the Sovereign Tongtian stopped them, shaking his head. "Don't go over. When Supreme Ones make a move, they can reverse time and space at will. A single stray ripple of their power can easily annihilate a Divine King. Your going over would only make them needlessly distracted."
The others were taken aback, then smiled wryly, only now remembering.
Moreover, the Chaos Holy Realm origin, which could make two peerless Supreme Ones like the Sovereign of Formlessness and the Golden Crow Great Emperor take action together, how could it be an ordinary existence? It was probably mostly comparable to a Supreme One.
That kind of battle between Supreme Ones could affect the River of Time at will; how could they casually observe it?
Boom—
Suddenly, a tremendous explosion resounded, shaking the entire ten domains of the Chaos Holy Realm, attracting the attention of its infinite living beings.
Everyone saw the great sun of the Chaos Holy Realm suddenly dim. The myriad heavenly stars were the same, constantly trembling, with many stars falling into a series of annihilations.
Then, a supreme heavenly might suddenly descended from the sky, supreme and unparalleled, surpassing everything, causing all living beings to bow in fear, with countless creatures trembling and prostrating themselves in worship.
A vast voice, carrying unparalleled majesty and ruthless coldness, echoed between the heavens: "How dare you! Do you dare offend the heavens above, defy the will of heaven?"
"What's happening!?"
"Is it the Lord of Heaven? Is it descending boundless punishment?"
Within the ten domains of the Chaos Holy Realm, countless people stared blankly at the heavens above. They saw the dimmed heavenly sun suddenly burst forth with boundless, dazzling radiance, instantly becoming many times more brilliant. Moreover, immeasurable divine might that pressed down upon the thirty-three layers of heavens slowly descended, surpassing imagination, unparalleled.
It was as if the Lord of Heaven was manifesting, majestic and boundless, irresistible.
Immediately, countless people knelt down, all filled with fear and trepidation.
