With the number of Giants that had emerged from the Alien Ancient Universe, the total had reached a staggering twelve.
Moreover, it seemed that within the Alien Ancient Universe, there still existed ancient titans who had not yet awakened.
Such a number was terrifyingly frightening.
"Is the alien race truly willing to risk all-out war?"
On the Origin Ancient Path, Giants from all sides changed expressions, for the number of Giants the alien race possessed was truly astonishing. The quantity displayed so far already exceeded ten, surpassing that of other Chaos Ancient Universes by who knew how many times.
Currently, perhaps only the equally unfathomable Primordial Immortal Realm could be mentioned in the same breath.
"Is the alien race truly going to initiate the final battle ahead of schedule?"
Within the Primordial Immortal Realm, multiple Immortal Kings were also successively alarmed, Giants awakening, shaking the great universe.
"The Pangu Universe is provoking conflict too early. The alien race has endured through multiple epochal eras without perishing; their foundation is terrifyingly absurd. Moreover, Shidai lingers there. The Pangu Universe has no Heavenly Emperor presiding over it, the First Emperor's whereabouts are unknown, and the Samsara Great Emperor also seems to be within the cycle of reincarnation. How will they face the alien race?"
Giants from all sides sensed that today, the Pangu Universe might very well be buried here.
"I wonder if the Primordial Immortal Realm will intervene like in the previous epochal era, to aid the Pangu Universe!"
"The Primordial Immortal Realm is an ally of the Pangu Universe. Isn't it natural for them to intervene?"
"Not necessarily. Even during the last Great Mythical Destruction, the Pangu Universe was not in such dire straits. This time, the number of Giants between the two ancient universes differs by a full twofold. How can they fight?"
"It's very possible even the Primordial Immortal Realm will stand by and not intervene."
...
All sides were closely watching these developments.
Within the Alien Ancient Universe, in a special ancestral temple, azure light like a clear sky submerged all heavens. Here, there was only one special figure, his gaze profound, seemingly flickering, watching everything before him thoughtfully.
"Should I intervene?"
The Azure Radiance Great Emperor murmured to himself. In his thoughts, he silently merged with the Heavenly Dao of the entire Alien Ancient Universe...
In another ancestral temple, the Six Paths of Samsara were all rotating. A Giant-level Ancient Great Emperor awakened, gazing distantly at this scene, and whispered softly, "Could it be that we must reveal ourselves ahead of time..."
Pangu Universe.
The center of the Myriad Domains of all heavens.
Human Sovereign Province.
Within the Human Sovereign Hall, upon the supreme imperial throne, the Supreme Human Sovereign who presided over the rise and fall of the Myriad Domains raised his head at this moment. His gaze pierced through the universe's boundary walls, seeing the outside world, seeing everything on the Origin Ancient Path, and also seeing the ancient titans rising one after another within the Alien Ancient Universe, preparing to set out for the Origin Ancient Path to wage war.
The Human Sovereign Hall was empty, with only the Human Sovereign lingering there.
No one knew that beside the Human Sovereign, faintly discernible, one majestic figure after another appeared—like Great Emperors, like Ancient Sovereigns, like Supreme Ones—nine in total.
Though their faces were different, each figure was immensely powerful, possessing Supreme-level auras that encircled him, causing his own aura to surge rapidly at this moment.
The Supreme Human Sovereign slowly spoke, "If a great war is truly to erupt, we have no choice but to awaken ahead of time!"
...
Without a doubt, the number of Giants on both sides had long exceeded the count of two hands, approaching twenty.
All antiquity was shaken, unprecedented. It was as if all the strongest Emperors and Immortal Kings had awakened at this moment.
Even though a true battle had not yet begun, the sheer number of ancient titans awakening at this moment, the auras they surged forth, could not be described as merely shaking the past and dazzling the present. They directly caused the River of Time to boil, undergoing indescribable changes.
Boom—
The River of Time boiled incessantly. At this very moment, at the unreachable end visible to Giants from all sides, that place suddenly filled with boundless blood-red color, faintly revealing a severed segment of the River of Time.
It was the severed segment of the River of Time concerning the Blood-Stained Future. At this moment, an unparalleled, tragic blood-red hue was spreading, quietly dyeing the other severed end of the River of Time red, signifying how arduous the future was—a Blood-Stained Future that even Giants feared.
"Shidai!"
A great roar suddenly transmitted through the River of Time, echoing across all antiquity.
The hearts of all beings shook. They only saw that at the Blood-Stained Future, boundless great chaos poured forth, accompanied by countless fragments of time rushing over.
Strands of mysterious power flowed down along this era's River of Time. At the severed point, they slowly constructed a mysterious Heaven-Reaching Bridge, temporarily connecting the two severed segments of the River of Time.
Boom—
The River of Time trembled violently.
All eyes watched, seeing only that on the segment of the River of Time of the Blood-Stained Future, a terrifying figure appeared, taking firm strides, step by step, crossing the Heaven-Reaching Bridge, arriving from the future.
"That is—"
Even Giants had to become solemn, for they all sensed that this person was extremely fearsome, terrifying to the extreme. His entire form was enveloped by immeasurable space-time power, causing his silhouette to be blurred, unclear, hindering his arrival.
But the fact that he could come by connecting the severed River of Time was enough to prove his fearsomeness—a method only ancient titans could accomplish, and one requiring a considerable, immense price to achieve.
Clearly, this mysterious Giant had succeeded.
Of course, this mysterious existence faced immense difficulty in reversing space-time to come. The Heaven-Reaching Bridge was trembling, unstable, on the verge of collapse at any moment.
And it wasn't just the obstruction of the space-time continuum; it was also because, vaguely visible at the Blood-Stained Future, terrifying taboo existences also emerged, blocking his path, displaying extremely fearsome killing techniques, wanting to slay him.
"A battle between two Giants, originating from the Blood-Stained Future!"
In the present era, powerhouses from all sides were shocked. Supreme Ones and Giants also focused their attention, their gazes unblinking, closely observing.
As Supreme Ones, they could foresee the Blood-Stained Future. Occasionally, standing upon the River of Time, they could even see the River of Time of the Blood-Stained Future, but it was visible yet unreachable. They also could not know what exactly was happening in the Blood-Stained Future.
Because the Blood-Stained Future was enveloped by immense causality. Even as ancient titans, they dared not lightly touch it, fearing to trigger that boundless causality.
Moreover, upon the River of Time, taboo existences had once taken action, severing that segment of the River of Time concerning the Blood-Stained Future, preventing them from piercing through the severed Blood-Stained Future to understand the truth.
Generally speaking, whether it was people from the Blood-Stained Future wanting to cross the severed River of Time to travel upstream, or people from the present or past wanting to go to the Blood-Stained Future, they all bore the risk of being tainted by immense causality. It was not something to be crossed lightly.
Who would have thought that now, a supreme existence from the Blood-Stained Future had truly crossed the severed River of Time, braving immense causal power to arrive.
"No, the other party is not arriving by enduring immense causal power. This person is extremely fearsome. He is actually using the auras of the many Giants present here, drawing upon them to temporarily connect the River of Time, isolating the causal power to arrive."
An Immortal King Giant spoke. His eyes shone with dazzling immortal light, reflecting everything, also piercing through everything, seeing the truth.
