The Origin Ancient Path was still the Origin Ancient Path.
But today, far too many momentous events had occurred. Whether it was Tai Chu Di Jun becoming an Eternal Monarch, establishing himself as the foremost under the Supreme Ones, and single-handedly sweeping through ten Monarchs.
Or the contemporary Supreme Ones emerging together, seeking to kill this Eternal Monarch who possessed the potential to become a Colossus from Antiquity.
Or the various Giants being successively alarmed and taking action one after another.
Or the Heaven-Defying War Lord reviving and returning, revealed to be the past life of the Battle Saint Ancestor.
Or the Pangu Universe and the Alien Ancient Universe nearly erupting into an ultimate battle.
Or the Supreme Giant Stained with Future Blood arriving with overwhelming force, bringing endless secrets...
So many events, each one alone would be enough to shake the Chaos Sea, events that would resound through the ages.
Let alone all of them piled together.
This day could absolutely be called the most tumultuous day since the beginning of this epoch.
It also portended that the various Colossi from Antiquity of the Chaos Sea were awakening and returning.
In the years to come, it would likely no longer be an era of Giants slumbering and Supreme Ones dominating.
All the powerhouses of the myriad heavens felt complex emotions, for they sensed that a truly grand era of turbulent winds and rolling clouds was about to arrive.
With these complex feelings, the powerhouses of the myriad heavens departed one by one.
"Farewell!"
"Until we meet again another day!"
On the Origin Ancient Path, the various Giants bid their farewells and left, including several Immortal Kings who successively returned to the Primordial Immortal Realm.
In the sky, only the five Giants from the Pangu Universe side, including the Alchemy Emperor, remained.
"Hahaha, old friends of the Pangu Universe, I shall also take my leave first." The Alchemy Emperor put away his alchemy cauldron. Before leaving, he cast a meaningful glance at Ye Chen, then laughed heartily and departed, vanishing into the deepest reaches of the Origin Ancient Path.
"Safe travels, Fellow Daoist!" The five Giants saluted.
The Time-Space Great Emperor sighed softly. "I cannot return for now. In the Chaos Sea, I have discovered some extremely ancient secret realms, perhaps involving the most ancient secrets. I need to continue exploring. Perhaps this journey will take many years before I can return."
Ye Chen felt a chill. The Time-Space Great Emperor was a Colossus from Antiquity, the strongest master of the Space-Time Great Dao. Even he needed to journey for many years. What kind of ancient secret realm could it be?
The more one understood, the more ignorant one felt, the more one realized the unfathomable depths of the Chaos Sea.
"Very well, be careful in all things!" Tai Sheng Huang reminded.
"Hahaha, though the Chaos Sea is vast, boundless, I am the Time-Space Great Emperor. What could possibly trap me in danger?" The Time-Space Great Emperor laughed heartily, exuding both nonchalance and absolute confidence.
As a Colossus from Antiquity, one could roam freely through the Ten Thousand Ancient Times, reigning supreme across past and present. In the vast world, with no other Giants emerging, who could contend?
Moreover, the Time-Space Great Emperor was the highest achiever in the Space-Time Great Dao. With Space-Time unleashed, altering the Ten Thousand Ancient Times, who could harm him? Even if a Colossus from Antiquity came, they could do nothing.
Then, the Time-Space Great Emperor cast a meaningful glance at Ye Chen. "Little fellow, you have also reached the limit of the Eternal Quasi-Monarch, with no further progress possible. When you turn back, head directly to the Realm Tower there to ascend to Ancient Monarch."
The gazes of the other Giants fell upon Ye Chen.
An Eternal Quasi-Monarch, a being with boundless potential comparable to the Heavenly Emperor in his youth.
And at this moment, as their gazes shifted, they saw through far too many secrets on Ye Chen's person, including the Origin Sacred Artifact within his brow and his Origin Universe, eliciting some admiration.
Truly worthy of being the "key person" of the Pangu Universe!
Of course, the revelation of the Origin Universe was also intentional on Ye Chen's part, because the Moon Mark was mysterious and could briefly shield the perception of Colossi from Antiquity.
The Battle Saint Ancestor looked at Ye Chen, growing more and more satisfied. Finally, this Supreme Giant, hailed as having the greatest offensive power in the Chaos Sea, couldn't help but laugh heartily: "Hahaha, what a fine Chaos Saint Body, actually fusing the Chaos Great Dao with the Battle Saint Body into one. What a fine Battle Saint King! He is the most outstanding of my Battle Saint lineage. I greatly anticipate how powerful he will be after ascending to Ancient Monarch."
His normal combat power was comparable to a Fourth Heaven Monarch; employing various methods could multiply it severalfold, making him comparable to a Sixth Heaven Monarch. They were quite eager to see just how powerful this Eternal Quasi-Monarch would be once he ascended to Ancient Monarch.
Perhaps his initial combat power would be comparable to, if not surpass, a Seventh Heaven Super Monarch.
But Ye Chen was special, a culmination of the two great Colossus from Antiquity lineages—the Battle Saint lineage and the Chaos Great Dao—and possessing an Origin Universe. He was anything but simple.
Ye Chen solemnly cupped his fists. "This junior will definitely live up to the high expectations of you Seniors!"
"Good, good, good!" The five Giants laughed heartily. Even a forceful person like the Heaven-Defying War Lord revealed a benevolent smile.
Ultimately, Ye Chen was also the inheritor of the lineage he had founded in his second life, naturally feelingfamiliar.
Tai Sheng Huang smiled faintly. "Little fellow, you've done truly well. The insights into Chaos I bestowed upon you back then, I'm afraid you've successfully comprehended about one ten-thousandth."
One ten-thousandth!
Beside him, Tai Chu Di Jun and the other Monarchs were astonished, not expecting Ye Chen to have comprehended one ten-thousandth.
Don't think it's just one ten-thousandth, seemingly very small. But one must remember who Tai Sheng Huang is—a Supreme Giant who has nearly completely comprehended the Chaos Great Dao. Moreover, the Chaos Great Dao is hailed as a supreme Great Dao akin to the Eternal Dao, far surpassing other Great Daos.
The Chaos Great Dao is profound and unfathomable. Even after so many years, Ye Chen had only ever comprehended a drop in the ocean, yet still reached this step, succeeding as an Eternal Quasi-Monarch.
One can imagine how terrifying it would be once fully comprehended.
Ye Chen said solemnly, "This junior has indeed comprehended roughly one ten-thousandth."
"Hahaha, I look forward to the day when you fully comprehend it and, building upon that, take a step further to completely grasp the complete, perfect Chaos Great Dao." Tai Sheng Huang sighed with emotion, greatly anticipating that scene.
For countless years, though he was the highest achiever in the Chaos Great Dao, he had never been able to take that final step, to fully comprehend the complete and perfect Chaos Great Dao.
But the Ye Chen before him had the full potential to completely comprehend the perfect Chaos Great Dao. He greatly anticipated the arrival of that scene—whether, once the Chaos Great Dao was perfected and achieved, it would lead to attaining an Eternal body.
However, thinking of that possibility, even Tai Sheng Huang couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Difficult, difficult, difficult!
Since ancient times, no one had ever successfully proven the Dao through the Chaos Great Dao.
Throughout history, all the supreme geniuses who walked the path of the Chaos Great Dao either died of old age or took alternative paths to prove the Dao as Supreme Ones.
All were blocked before the hurdle of becoming an Emperor.
Tai Sheng Huang, honored as the strongest Emperor, a Supreme Being like a Colossus from Antiquity, could perceive the myriad Great Daos of the heavens and even perceive them to the Emperor level.
Yet even after expending countless tens of thousands of years, a person like him still fell short by a sliver,still unable to comprehend that final sliver, unable to complete the Chaos Great Dao, to make it whole.
One can imagine how exceedingly difficult it was.
He looked at this little fellow brimming with potential before him, suppressing the words in his heart, unwilling to voice them and dampen the little fellow's drive.
He could only hope he would succeed.
