Everyone knew that Cloud Heaven Monarch had most likely perished, been erased.
Although it was unknown what method the Tonggu Sovereign had employed, it was undeniable that this method had deeply shocked all the powerhouses of the two factions.
From now on, even if one wanted to contend for the Supreme Inheritance, they would have to weigh carefully whether it would affect the living beings of the Weiyang Great World.
"What a Tonggu Sovereign, hahaha."
Ye Chen laughed heartily towards the sky. His original intention was not to overly interfere with the Weiyang Great World, and this outcome suited his thoughts perfectly.
As for the Holy Emperor Domain faction, he was more than happy to see them continuously weaken.
This way, it would be more favorable for him to obtain the Supreme Inheritance of the Weiyang Great World.
Time passed, and three months went by.
After the incident where the Tonggu Sovereign had taken action, suppressed and killed Cloud Heaven Monarch, and swept through the powerhouses of the Holy Emperor Domain faction like a thunderbolt, the Weiyang Great World had regained its peace.
The people of the world no longer held such reverence for the super powerhouses from outside the world, because with the existence of the Tonggu Sovereign, these external super powerhouses dared not act rashly.
The Flame Emperor Domain faction, constrained by Ye Chen, did not act too arrogantly. Therefore, the Tonggu Sovereign treated the Flame Emperor Domain faction quite favorably, never truly taking action against any of them.
Unfortunately, even with the help of Doumen, the world's number one intelligence organization, searching through all manner of information across the world, Ye Chen still could not find any relevant intelligence about the Supreme Inheritance.
Others were in the same situation, having obtained no relevant information whatsoever.
This once led people to suspect whether the Tonggu Sovereign had deceived them, and that the Supreme Inheritance was not within the Weiyang Great World at all.
Han Zhen also had similar doubts and repeatedly advised Ye Chen to leave this world.
But Ye Chen shook his head and smiled, "The Tonggu Sovereign has no need to deceive us. The Supreme Inheritance is most likely within the Weiyang Great World, it's just hidden deep enough. But don't worry, there's still plenty of time. Let's continue waiting."
He was quite patient and continued to wait silently.
During this period, he entered the Medicine God Valley with great interest and arrived before that Mitian Divine Tree.
This Chaos Divine Tree was a thousand zhang tall, its trunk as thick as a mountain range, towering into the clouds. Its canopy spread out to an immeasurable vastness, yet compared to those giant trees that spanned tens of thousands of li, it appeared relatively much smaller.
The Mitian Divine Tree possessed spirit. Sensing Ye Chen's arrival, and sensing his supreme, unparalleled power—having witnessed his actions that day—its branches and leaves swayed with radiance, causing the void to tremble, as if it had the thought of fleeing.
Although it did not possess much magical power, its spiritual wisdom was profound. It knew its own value; if completely refined, one could live a Second Life.
"Rest assured, I bear you no ill will, and I have no need to use you to that extent," Ye Chen spoke up. His body was filled with a vast, youthful vitality, demonstrating an unparalleled Lifespan, vast and mighty, proving he was still very young, at a stage where the human body was ascending, and could continue onward, extending his Lifespan through the elevation of his realm, without needing external aids.
"Really?"
Although Ye Chen spoke like this, it was still somewhat hesitant. After all, its value—a Second Life—held endless temptation for anyone.
It believed that even the Doumen God King who had taken it in and protected it harbored certain intentions. When his Lifespan reached its great limit one day, he would likely refine it to begin a Second Life.
Ye Chen smiled faintly, "Although you are a Chaos Divine Tree, in my eyes, you are not a necessity. With my own body, I can become a Supreme One, with an infinite Lifespan. Why would I need to use you?"
His words were calm, yet carried unparalleled confidence.
The branches and leaves of the Chaos Divine Tree swayed, and the Mitian Peaches shone with radiance, not having been completely plucked.
It could see the confidence in Ye Chen's eyes because its origins were far from simple. The world only knew it was suspected to have been born in the Heaven and Earth Creation era of the Weiyang Great World, but they did not know it had once followed a truly supreme existence.
That kind of supreme existence was called a Supreme One.
Supreme Ones were immeasurable, with infinite Lifespan. They fundamentally needed no external aids to exist eternally in the human world, imperishable through ten thousand ages.
It could also see that this magnificent, heroic young man before it truly possessed such Potential, the terrifying Potential to advance into the Supreme realm, to attain the Supreme fruit in the future.
"Alright, I am willing to believe you."
The Mitian Divine Tree, possessing spirit, responded and continued to take root on the highest peak, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.
Ye Chen stood before the Mitian Divine Tree. Compared to the mountain-range-thick trunk, he appeared so small, yet so eye-catching.
This thousand-zhang-tall Mitian Divine Tree was the Chaos Divine Tree from the Heaven and Earth Creation of the Weiyang Great World. Naturally, in Ye Chen's eyes, he saw more mysteries than ordinary people. Before the Heaven's Eye, all the mysteries of the Chaos Divine Tree were laid bare.
He observed the tree rings, savored the peaches, gazed at the tree heart, examined the roots—countless mysteries surged before his eyes.
"This tree indeed deserves to be called a Chaos Divine Tree, but it is not an ancient tree of this Weiyang Great World. Even if a Supreme Great World were created from Heaven and Earth Creation, it could not give birth to such a Chaos Divine Tree. The era of its existence has long surpassed an Era Epoch, even as if it has experienced several Era Epochs, with countless layers of annual rings."
"If I'm not mistaken, this Chaos Divine Tree is most likely a divine tree born in the Chaos Sea, born from chaos, with Potential comparable to a Chaos Holy Spirit. If it grows to its limit, I'm afraid it would not be inferior to a true Supreme One."
What kind of person was Ye Chen? Currently at the Eternal Quasi-Sovereign realm, yet his vision far surpassed ordinary quasi-sovereigns. He discerned many mysteries and saw the various secrets of the Chaos Divine Tree.
But he was quite puzzled about whether the Chaos Divine Tree was an existence like a Chaos Holy Spirit.
Because the state of the Chaos Divine Tree was very strange. Born as a Chaos Holy Spirit, it had also existed for over an Era Epoch. Yet, precisely because of this, it should have long since transformed into the position of a Great Perfection Holy Spirit, comparable to a Supreme One. But now it possessed little magical power.
Ye Chen said, "You should have followed the true master of this Weiyang Great World, that peerless Supreme One."
"Yes!"
The Mitian Divine Tree did not deny it. "Back then, I was born in chaos, ignorant and naive. It was he who brought me here, planted me in this world, truly nurtured me, even transformed me into human form to walk the human world, like his child. Originally, I was like you, filled with infinite Potential, a holy spirit transforming into the Dao, cultivating anew. Unfortunately, later, I don't know what happened. I lost a period of memory, then reverted to my original form, and my magical power was gone. I could no longer cultivate, only able to maintain my current state, long-lived but not dead."
Whoosh—
At this moment, Ye Chen's gaze became countless times more blazing, instantly piercing through the deepest layers of the Mitian Divine Tree's origin, discovering that its origin was directly missing by more than half.
Could it be that it was lost during that battle for the peerless supreme treasure back then?
