Facing this boundless, immeasurable might, it wasn't just others who were affected; even the Barbarian God King, a Divine King overlord from the late ancient era, immediately changed expression.
Because he felt that despite being as powerful as he was, having directly returned to his peak state from back then as a peerless Divine King capable of dominating the Primordial Heaven Realm, he still felt as insignificant as an ant under this heavenly might.
It was as if this seemingly young man could crush and kill him ten thousand times over with just a single finger.
His heart was shaken, unable to believe this.
Just who was this Ye Chen, and why did he possess such boundless heavenly authority?
"You... are you an Ancient Sovereign?"
The Barbarian God King hesitated for a long time before finally asking this doubt.
Perhaps even a Quasi-Sovereign couldn't possess such might?
Ye Chen neither confirmed nor denied it, saying, "I know what you fear in your hearts—the fear that the events of the late ancient era will repeat themselves. But you need not worry. As for the Heaven Realm Rulers, I truly am not afraid."
Not just unafraid—he had even forcefully slain several of them in that battle back then.
Of course, there was no need to tell them that.
Naturally, regarding the collection of faith power, he had his own unique thoughts.
Considering Ye Chen's strength and his kindness to the Barbarian Tribe, the Barbarian God King and the others deliberated and ultimately agreed.
Because no matter what, as descendants of the Ancient Barbarian God Clan, they all hoped to restore the supreme glory of the Desolate Ancient Hall from the past.
The news of the Barbarian God King's revival and return did not truly spread. Even within the entire Barbarian Tribe, only Mantai and a few others knew for the time being.
Now was not yet the appropriate time.
They needed a suitable opportunity.
Because after the Barbarian God King was sealed away back then, the Barbarian God Ancient Kingdom was immediately attacked by various enemies who seized half of the Body Tempering Treasure Manual. Many enemies were quite wary of their existence.
Furthermore, with Mantai's promotion to Great Power, he had already attracted subtle attention from the Qianwu Ancient Country. If news of the Barbarian God King's revival spread, even that Ancient Divine King from the Qianwu Ancient Country probably wouldn't be able to sit still.
At this stage, what the Barbarian Tribe needed most was time to recuperate and truly grow stronger.
Otherwise, even if the Barbarian God King returned, once an Ancient Kingdom attacked, as long as a similarly powerful expert could delay the Barbarian God King, the Barbarian Tribe would be basically defenseless.
Although Ye Chen was also present to oversee things, they believed that unless absolutely necessary, Ye Chen would not easily intervene.
In secret, after discussing with Mantai and others, the Barbarian God King ultimately decided to completely unlock the bloodline seals of all tribesmen.
Since they had agreed to Ye Chen's request, and given Ye Chen's unfathomable strength, and since the goal was to collect faith power anyway, the exposure of the Ancient Barbarian God Clan was only a matter of time. It was better to immediately unlock the tribesmen's bloodline seals, giving them more time to grow powerful.
Ever since his own bloodline seal was unlocked, the Barbarian God King knew how to unlock the bloodline seals. There was no need to rely on a Quasi-Sovereign to break the seal, nor was reaching the Divine King realm a prerequisite for unsealing.
When the Ancient Sovereign of the Ancient Barbarian God Clan lineage applied the seals in the past, they also left behind a corresponding method for complete unsealing.
Moreover, they bestowed a secret technique for perfectly concealing bloodline aura. Once mastered, it could hide the imperial clan bloodline aura within the body.
Back then, the Barbarian God King had always wanted to unseal, but knowing that doing so would likely alert their ancient enemy, the Kunxu Forbidden Zone Ruler, he suppressed the desire, not daring to act.
Now, there was no need for such apprehension.
Regarding the Barbarian God King's decision, Ye Chen also quite approved. Once the bloodlines were unsealed, it could be foreseen that in a short time, the Barbarian Tribe would completely soar. Given enough time, they would inevitably reach heights surpassing even Ancient Kingdoms.
After all, the Barbarian Tribe was the Ancient Barbarian God Clan, their bodies flowing with the supreme bloodline of a Mythological Imperial Clan, not something so-called Ancient Kingdoms could compare to.
The Barbarian Tribe was even the direct lineage of the Ancient Barbarian God Clan. Given enough time, it wasn't impossible for them to recover to a state comparable to the era of the Desolate Ancient Hall.
Of course, if the Barbarian Tribe encountered trouble, he would also intervene.
Whether due to his own request or out of reason and sentiment, he held a heart of respect for Mythological Great Emperors. As descendants of a Great Emperor, he would naturally look after them a little.
Soon, the Barbarian God King personally took action, sealing off the entire Barbarian Tribe. Overnight, the entire tribe vanished, relocated into his Divine King Origin Inner World.
With the Barbarian God King's revival, his Origin Inner World also revived. Through his methods, mountains were moved and seas filled; it was no longer barren.
The appearance of the Barbarian God King caused exclamations and excitement among the Barbarian Tribe, making them feel their blood energy boiling within.
That was the legendary strongest expert in the tribe's history, who once led the tribe to become an Ancient Kingdom, surpassing numerous Ancient Kingdoms and ranking among the forefront of the Hundred Kingdoms, incredibly powerful and prosperous.
The tribesmen had all thought the Divine King Ancient Ancestor had long since passed away, never expecting him to appear out of nowhere, returning before their eyes.
Having decided to unlock the bloodline seals, the Barbarian God King, along with Chieftain Mantai and others, no longer concealed the truth. They informed all tribesmen, shocking them all. They never imagined that the seemingly declining and weakened Barbarian Tribe actually had such a glorious history—being one of the Thirteen Ten Thousand Ancient Inheritances, the Desolate Ancient Hall, and even one of the Mythological Imperial Clans, the Ancient Barbarian God Clan.
Even though the Barbarian God King himself said it, they still couldn't come to terms with it for a long time.
The Barbarian God King and the others weren't in a hurry, giving the tribesmen enough time.
After all, first the Divine King Ancient Ancestor had returned. Soon, they gradually began to accept it.
Moreover, learning that it was Ye Chen who intervened to revive the Divine King Ancient Ancestor, many tribesmen were moved to tears of gratitude, prostrating themselves in worship to express their thanks to Ye Chen.
They also learned of the decision made this time by the Divine King Ancient Ancestor and the others: to unlock the bloodline seals within all tribesmen, allowing them to return to their identities as members of the Ancient Barbarian God Clan. This filled them all with excitement.
Once the bloodline seals were unlocked, their cultivation would likely surge a great deal along with the eruption of their bloodline power.
Soon, the Barbarian God King personally acted, merging a fist-sized drop of his Divine King essence blood into a pool three zhang wide, transforming it into a seething Divine King Blood Pool, boiling and rolling, containing the supreme and most potent supreme bloodline power.
He explained that soaking in the blood pool for one month would be enough to smoothly activate the imperial clan bloodline within.
Of course, this required the essence blood of a Divine King whose bloodline seal had been unlocked—a condition the Barbarian God King naturally met.
Under the arrangements of the elders, the batch of tribesmen with the highest cultivation entered the blood pool first. This was to more quickly resolve the hidden dangers brought about by years of cultivating the "Barbarian God King Art."
One month later, the first batch of tribesmen who entered the blood pool unlocked the deepest seals within their bloodlines and began their awakening.
Within the Divine King Origin Inner World, terrifying surges of blood energy could be seen soaring into the sky from time to time, surging powerfully in the surroundings.
All of this was suppressed within the Divine King Origin Inner World, never affecting the outside world, which remained unaware.
