As everything gradually settled into calm, before the Tenfold Emperor Passes, the Human Sovereign stood shoulder to shoulder with three other Great Emperors. One of them was precisely the Quasi-Giant—the Golden Crow Great Emperor!
The other two were none other than the Formless Sovereign and the Profound God Great Emperor!
The three other supreme existences of the Pangu Universe had all appeared at the Tenfold Emperor Passes.
With the Chaos Burial Ground launching an attack, how could the other three sit idly by?
"Chaos Burial Ground!"
The Golden Crow Great Emperor, the Formless Sovereign, and the Profound God Great Emperor looked at the thirteen Ancient Emperor Supreme Ones of the Chaos Burial Ground, especially the leader, the World Emperor, who was a Quasi-Giant existence. With such a lineup, if the Pangu Universe side did not possess two Quasi-Giants, they would truly be no match.
The World Emperor and the other Burial Ground Ancient Emperors looked gloomily at the four supreme existences of the Pangu Universe, especially at the Human Sovereign and the Golden Crow Great Emperor.
Two Quasi-Giants—even with their current lineup, they could not gain much of an upper hand.
After all, not long ago, the Human Sovereign alone had suppressed thirteen Ancient Emperors and even beheaded one Burial Ground Ancient Emperor.
Now, as long as the Golden Crow Great Emperor held off the World Emperor, the Human Sovereign and the other two Great Emperor existences were enough to suppress the other twelve Burial Ground Ancient Emperors, even to the point of slaying them.
The current situation was, conversely, not optimistic for the Chaos Burial Ground.
The World Emperor looked at the Golden Crow Great Emperor and frowned, "Golden Crow Great Emperor, do you intend to make an enemy of my Chaos Burial Ground?"
The Golden Crow Great Emperor said indifferently, "Haven't we been enemies for a long time already?"
In the past, when sealing the Chaos Burial Ground, he had played a major role.
Moreover, later when a colossus from antiquity, along with numerous Supreme Ones, came to unseal the Chaos Burial Ground, he had emerged early from his transformation into a colossus from antiquity to stop them, though his efforts ultimately fell short. In the end, he had already forged a blood feud with the Chaos Burial Ground. How could there be any retreat?
"Good, good, good!"
The World Emperor uttered three 'good's in succession, giving the various Emperors of the Pangu Universe a deep look. "Today, we shall temporarily bypass your Pangu Universe. Prepare for the destruction of your universe. In a few days, my Chaos Burial Ground will return."
"Withdraw!"
The twelve Burial Ground Ancient Emperors obeyed his command, retreating one after another, vanishing into the cosmic shadow and disappearing.
The Human Sovereign, the Golden Crow Great Emperor, the Formless Sovereign, and the Profound God Great Emperor watched the direction in which the Chaos Burial Ground's Emperors had left, but did not pursue their victory.
Because the Chaos Burial Ground, this Chaos Ancient Universe, was incomparably terrifying, more astonishing than they had imagined, harboring multiple colossus from antiquity-level Heavenly Emperors.
At the very least, they estimated there could be more than five colossi from antiquity.
Such a fearsome lineup of Giant-level existences, along with Quasi-Giants like the World Emperor and Ancient Emperor Supreme Ones, could absolutely overwhelm a Chaos Ancient Universe.
That it had been able to bury an entire epoch era in the past was not without reason.
They simply did not understand why the Chaos Burial Ground's Emperors had suddenly withdrawn. After all, possessing multiple colossus from antiquity-level Heavenly Emperors, logically speaking, if just one Heavenly Emperor descended, the current Pangu Universe, even with two Quasi-Giants, would only be swept aside.
There was likely some unknown inside story.
The wise Human Sovereign gazed at the gradually dissipating cosmic shadow of the Chaos Burial Ground Ancient Universe and said, "Perhaps it is because of the Burial Ground's Heavenly Emperors!"
As long as the Heavenly Emperors did not appear, the Pangu Universe, possessing two Quasi-Giants and two weapons of colossi from antiquity, was as stable as Mount Tai.
But why did the Chaos Burial Ground's Heavenly Emperors never show themselves?
The Human Sovereign speculated that after several hundred years, the Chaos Burial Ground was still far from recovering its peak state from its heyday. Even its Ancient Emperors were like this; otherwise, no matter how strong the Human Sovereign was, even wielding a weapon of a colossus from antiquity like the Human Sovereign Pagoda, it would have been truly difficult for him alone to suppress so many Burial Ground Ancient Emperors.
It was like cheating!
The Golden Crow Great Emperor and the other Emperor Supreme Ones on the Pangu Universe side also nodded, believing that the Chaos Burial Ground was still in a weakened state. After several hundred years, it was fundamentally impossible for it to have fully recovered. After all, it had been sealed for multiple epoch eras. Without the devouring power of the external Chaos Sea, the Burial Ground Ancient Emperors dared not excessively devour the essence of the Chaos Ancient Universe to recover, leaving the essence in a depleted state.
The large-scale attack not long ago was less an assault on the Pangu Universe and more like sending a signal.
The Chaos Burial Ground remained overwhelmingly powerful, not to be spied upon by others!
The four supreme existences of the Pangu Universe unanimously concluded that the Chaos Burial Ground had not yet recovered. The Heavenly Emperors not appearing and the various Emperors retreating spoke volumes.
Of course, speculation was ultimately speculation; its truth could not be determined.
With the Chaos Burial Ground's withdrawal, the Pangu Universe did not relax in the slightest. On the contrary, it immediately entered a state of war readiness.
A full seven Sovereigns rushed to garrison the Tenfold Emperor Passes.
Additionally, numerous Ancient Sovereigns, Quasi-Sovereigns, God Kings, and a sea of other powerful experts arrived and stationed themselves.
Even the Profound God Great Emperor, one of the five Palace Lords of the Pangu Palace, descended in his true body to personally garrison the Tenth Emperor's Pass, communicating with the World Tower at all times, ready to awaken to its utmost limit at any moment.
Who knew when the Chaos Burial Ground would next attack the Pangu Universe.
The Pangu Universe had experienced multiple major crises in recent years; it absolutely could not afford another incident.
Fortunately, the Pangu Universe possessed two Quasi-Giants, two Ancient Emperors, weapons of colossi from antiquity guarding it, the awakened Sovereigns, powerful reinforcements from the Origin Ancient Path, and more. As long as Supreme Ones did not appear, the forces below the Supreme One level were sufficient for defense.
At this time, the Human Sovereign returned to the Human Sovereign Palace and entered deep seclusion.
Not only because of the terrible Sovereign Dao injuries he had sustained in this battle, which needed recovery.
More importantly, the Human Sovereign Pagoda had returned with him, and his past-life self—the Samsara Great Emperor—was gradually awakening.
With the invasion of the alien races, the establishment of the Pangu Palace, the arrival of the prosperous era, the meteoric rise of geniuses, more and more secrets gradually spread throughout the world.
By this period, the world gradually came to know the profound secrets of the Human Sovereign.
Throughout the ages, across the myriad domains of the heavens, all generations of Human Sovereigns were one and the same person!
Since the beginning of this epoch, the Human Sovereign had been reincarnated again and again, reborn as various peerless geniuses. At a young age, he mastered various constitutions—whether they were divine constitutions renowned throughout ancient and modern times, imperial clan geniuses flowing with Supreme One bloodlines, ordinary and unremarkable commoners, or world-dominating, peerless Overlord Physiques...
Without exception, they all embarked on the path of the Human Sovereign, fiercely battling countless supreme talents across the myriad domains of the heavens, a hundred boats contending in the current, standing out, and repeatedly re-ascending to the Human Sovereign position, each time grasping the Human Sovereign authority and forging Supreme One Dao Fruits.
Although the Human King life was a failure, in this life, the Human Sovereign could be said to be the tenth-generation Human Sovereign Fruit Position of this epoch.
As early as many tens of thousands of years ago, there were ancient Sovereign sages who believed the path the Human Sovereign walked was the path of the Samsara Great Emperor—reincarnating and experiencing life after life, accumulating the strongest Dao Fruits. But few believed it.
Only on the Origin Ancient Path was it vaguely rumored that the Samsara Great Emperor had not perished but was in the cycle of reincarnation, attempting to break through the shackles and ascend to the Eternal Realm!
Moreover, some colossi from antiquity had deduced that the Samsara Great Emperor should have reincarnated and been reborn ten times, following the perfection of the ten heavens to break through the mirror.
Therefore, within the Pangu Universe, many believed that the Samsara Great Emperor's strongest path should be flawless and perfect in this life.
