Ye Chen earnestly hoped to refine the eleventh-grade Heaven-Defying Emperor Pill as soon as possible. This was not only for the sake of the Formless Sovereign, but also for his personal disciple, Yan Wushuang, who had sacrificed her life to protect him in the past.
Every time he thought of this disciple, Ye Chen felt profound sorrow. If it hadn't been for him, Yan Wushuang would not have perished.
Unfortunately, even now that he had become a Chaos Giant not inferior to the first-generation Giants, he still could not fully resurrect Yan Wushuang.
Back then, she had burned her own body, leaving behind only a trace of her true spirit. Her injuries were too severe, no less than those of the Formless Sovereign. She similarly required the eleventh-grade Heaven-Defying Emperor Pill to be truly revived.
Otherwise, over these years, he had also delved deeply into the power of faith and had held multiple discussions with the Buddha Patriarch, who had proven his Dao and become an Emperor through faith power. He hoped to enable Yan Wushuang's resurrection through the faith of all living beings.
Sadly, there were too few people in the world who held faith in Yan Wushuang. Even with multiple star domains, it was insufficient. Even with the miraculous power of faith, it would require an endless expanse of time to gradually reassemble her true spirit bit by bit, and success was not guaranteed.
Thus, only one final method remained—the eleventh-grade Heaven-Defying Emperor Pill!
Time flowed leisurely, another three thousand years passed.
During this period, the War Emperor had once paid a visit. Ye Chen naturally personally welcomed him, and they sat together to discuss the Dao. Ye Chen also explained the process of the Destiny Great Emperor's Dao collapsing, breaking and then establishing anew, stepping from the Ancient Sovereign realm onto the Eternal Path, climbing all the way to prove his Dao and reach the realm of a colossus from antiquity. This gave the War Emperor great insight.
As fellow peak Quasi-Giants, throughout history, only three peak Quasi-Giants had successfully broken through to become supreme Giants: the Reincarnation Great Emperor, Ye Chen, and the Destiny Great Emperor. Among them, these three could offer the War Emperor the deepest comprehension.
Especially Ye Chen, who transmitted his own and the Destiny Great Emperor's breakthrough experiences via divine sense, maximizing the transfer of experience so the War Emperor could gain enlightenment.
Moreover, Ye Chen gave the War Emperor the Destiny Great Emperor's remains, and even the Gate of Destiny and the Spear of Judgment. He also specially opened up a unique great world for him to enter seclusion within, seeking his own path to breakthrough.
He hoped that when the War Emperor emerged from seclusion, the Pangu Universe would gain another first-generation Giant-level combatant.
This year, an ancient and extremely powerful mysterious race suddenly came to visit the Pangu Universe.
At the Pangu Gate, when the visiting mysterious ancient race was seen, all the Supreme Ones were greatly astonished, because this ancient race was actually identical to the Angel Race within the Pangu Universe.
"Fellow Daoist, my Ancient Heavenly Race hopes to visit the Pangu Universe. We request permission."
The leader of the Ancient Heavenly Race was actually an Ancient Great Emperor, immensely powerful, with Supreme Emperor light swirling around his body. Sacred light wings unfurled, supremely divine and holy. He spoke to the human Supreme One guarding the gate with due courtesy.
Behind the Ancient Heavenly Race Supreme One was a group of young yet supremely powerful genius talents. At the very least, they were at the Ancient Sovereign level, with no shortage of Emperor Lord-level experts. All were first-rate, peerless geniuses.
"The Ancient Heavenly Race, hidden from the world yet enduring through the ages, has finally been unable to hold back and chosen to emerge into the world."
Xuan Shen Great Emperor was surprised. He ordered the gate opened, naturally knowing a thing or two about the Ancient Heavenly Race. After all, the Angel Emperor's Son had inherited the Great Dao legacy of an Ancient Heavenly Race Quasi-Giant.
This ancient Ancient Heavenly Race was mysterious and powerful, not lacking in Supreme Ones, nor short of Quasi-Giants. It even had colossi from antiquity, comparable to a super ancient race like a Chaos Ancient Universe, itsheritage / foundation unfathomably deep.
The Ancient Heavenly Race envoys entered the gate. A resplendent great path constructed from Primordial Holy Light extended inward, brilliant sacred light rain drifting down. Behind the Ancient Heavenly Race Supreme One followed over a dozen people—exceptionally handsome men and women of stunning, nation-toppling beauty. Both men and women were handsome and beautiful beyond compare in the world, attracting the gazes of all sides.
"So this is the Pangu Universe? In my view, it's nothing special."
On the great path, a golden-haired young genius of the Ancient Heavenly Race spoke, carrying a hint of disdain and arrogance.
He appeared to be in his early twenties, very young and handsome, with a special mark between his eyebrows shimmering with a faint golden hue. Behind him were nine pairs of dazzling golden light wings, signifying a special status and formidable cultivation.
After entering the gate, he swept his gaze over everything within the Pangu Gate, like a noble surveying a dilapidated village, shaking his head disdainfully, finding it rather ordinary.
In his view, compared to the ancestral secret realm where the Ancient Heavenly Race resided, the Pangu Universe was like the difference between an imperial capital and a countryside village, not worthy of comparison.
Beside him, a beautiful golden-haired female genius of the Ancient Heavenly Race slightly furrowed her brows. "Soth, do not speak recklessly. The Pangu Universe is not something you and I can casually comment on. Do not forget, the Pangu Universe has colossi from antiquity; it is no ordinary minor race."
Hearing this, the disdain on Soth's face receded slightly, but he still retained some arrogance. "So what if it has colossi from antiquity? It is, after all, a Chaos Ancient Universe; it should have them. Does our Ancient Heavenly Race not have them? Our Progenitor is invincible in the world, overlooking all ages; even Chaos Ancient Universes must show caution. Xaliah, you overestimate the Pangu Universe."
The Ancient Heavenly Race was not a super major race from a specific Chaos Ancient Universe, but originated from the Chaos Sea, extremely powerful with unfathomableheritage / foundation.
Similarly, it also had a Progenitor of the colossus from antiquity level overseeing it, incomparably mighty.
Xaliah lightly knitted her delicate brows. Her exquisite facial features possessed a unique sense of dimensionality, the faint golden mark between her eyebrows adding to her charm. "This time we have come with an important mission: to welcome the remains of the Cultivation lineage's Old Ancestor back to the ancestral land, and also to retrieve the Old Ancestor's Great Dao legacy. We cannot act rashly. If you ruin this great matter, can you bear the responsibility?"
Soth said indifferently, "There is no need for you to worry about that. With the prestige of our Ancient Heavenly Race, as long as the Pangu Universe is sensible, it would not dare to easily make an enemy of us. Moreover, this visit is not as simple as just one Supreme One."
As they conversed, Xuan Shen Great Emperor descended from the sky, arriving before the Ancient Heavenly Race envoys. He smiled lightly and said, "The esteemed guests of the Ancient Heavenly Race visiting brings great honor to our humble Pangu Universe. May I ask the purpose of your visit this time?"
The leading Supreme Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Race stepped forward, cupping his hands towards Xuan Shen Great Emperor with a light smile. "Xuan Shen Great Emperor, my Ancient Heavenly Race has come to visit for two reasons. First, we hope to pay our respects and also wish to establish a certain friendly relationship, so that in this Blood-Stained Epoch we may not become enemies. Second, we hope to meet the Angel Race of the Pangu Universe."
Xuan Shen Great Emperor nodded slightly. If they could befriend the Ancient Heavenly Race, it would be greatly beneficial to the Pangu Universe. After all, the Ancient Heavenly Race was not weak at all, comparable to one of the Origin Eight Sacred Clans.
According to ancient secrets, the Ancient Heavenly Race did not have just one colossus from antiquity...
Moreover, he also knew that the Angel Race of the Pangu Universe was a branch of the Ancient Heavenly Race.
The Ancient Heavenly Race Great Emperor, having received permission, led the many sons and daughters of the Ancient Heavenly Race, stepping upon the Primordial Holy Light great path, advancing into the Myriad Domains of the Heavens.
Watching their departing figures, Xuan Shen Great Emperor took a deep look at a handsome youth among the Ancient Heavenly Race envoys. He appeared to be thirteen or fourteen years old, yet subtly, he was treated with the utmost respect, including by that Ancient Heavenly Race Supreme One.
