"If you two Seniors are willing to trust me, I can act immediately," Ye Chen said.
"Agreed!"
The two did not hesitate, naturally placing great trust in Ye Chen.
"Please relax, Seniors. My power will enter your bodies," Ye Chen spoke. Allowing power to enter another's body easily allowed the probing of many secrets, which was why few were willing to do so.
But without doing this, even if Ye Chen's power could enter their bodies, it would be greatly suppressed, making healing far from ideal.
Termination Immortal Venerable and the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis naturally believed in those they employed and did not employ those they doubted. They had great faith in Ye Chen's character.
After receiving their consent, Ye Chen placed a hand on each of their shoulders. Instantly, vast Universe Power, Chaos Power, and the unique Eternal Power of the Eternal Heaven Realm surged into their bodies.
A long time later, Ye Chen withdrew his palms, a trace of fatigue showing on his face. Clearly, healing required immense effort, and even he had expended a significant amount.
At this moment, Termination Immortal Venerable and the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis opened their eyes. Immediately, world-shaking auras erupted from them, sweeping through the entire Donghuang Domain and drawing its attention.
Termination Immortal Venerable and the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis exchanged a glance and smiled, feeling unprecedentedly good, as if the injuries left from the past had completely disintegrated. They could now exert one hundred percent of their power, unlike before when they had to reserve a portion to suppress their injuries, limiting their displayed strength to less than seventy percent.
Ye Chen said, "I possess the Universe Chaos Body. The combination of Universe Power, Chaos Power, and the Eternal Power unique to the Eternal Heaven Realm can resolve the majority of your injuries. The remaining injuries, though difficult to completely eradicate in a short time, are no longer a threat. With your profound cultivation, Seniors, they will gradually be suppressed and worn away over time."
"So that's how it is," Termination Immortal Venerable and the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis nodded with a sigh, now understanding Ye Chen's uniqueness.
"We will remember your kindness today, young friend, and will surely repay it with all our strength in the future," they said solemnly, making a great promise of full repayment.
Generally, even supreme immortals at the Great Emperor level would not lightly make such a significant promise, for at their level, once a promise was made, it must be fulfilled, or it would greatly affect their state of mind.
This was even more true for Immortal Venerable Ones and Primordial Giants.
Of course, their promise was not without reason. Ultimately, there were many factors. Firstly, Ye Chen himself was a Half-Step Overlord from the Pangu Universe, and they had established good relations with him long ago.
Secondly, the Pangu Universe was no longer what it used to be. With the return of the Heavenly Emperor, and the successive returns of top-tier Giants like the Battle Saint Ancestor, the Heaven-Defying War Lord, Tai Sheng Huang, the Space-Time Great Emperor, the Flame Emperor, and the Reincarnation Great Emperor, the overall power of the Pangu Universe was now second only to the Primordial Immortal Realm and the Alien Ancient Universe. Even the Origin Sacred Clan was likely only on par with it.
Thirdly, with the impending Blood-Stained Future and the threat of the Alien Ancient Universe, befriending Ye Chen personally or the entire Pangu Universe would bring great benefits.
Fourthly, for personal reasons, it was Ye Chen who had taken the initiative to act, never asking for a promise beforehand. Under all these circumstances, they made such a significant promise.
"You are too kind, Seniors," Ye Chen quickly said.
Naturally, he was very pleased in his heart.
Whether it was Termination Immortal Venerable or the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis, both were on good terms with the Pangu Universe. If they could unleash sufficiently powerful combat strength, they could also deter the Alien Ancient Universe.
On the other hand, he hoped the faction led by these two within the Primordial Immortal Realm could further strengthen ties with the Pangu Universe. This way, the combined deterrence of the Pangu Universe and the Primordial Immortal Realm would make the Alien Ancient Universe think twice before attacking.
In summary, there were great benefits both publicly and privately.
After Termination Immortal Venerable and the Lord of the Ten Thousand Ancient Metropolis left, Ye Chen invited the four Immortal Kings—Pandao, Hunshi, Taihao, and Taishi—into his Chaos Small Universe.
The four Immortal Kings immediately understood Ye Chen's prowess and exclaimed in admiration, "Your physical body is completely integrated with your Chaos Small Universe. Young friend Ye, you have embarked on an unprecedented path. Even the Universe Great Emperor, though he controls a Chaos Ancient Universe, cannot fuse it with his body as thoroughly as you have. Once your Chaos Small Universe is fully perfected, you will be the universe, and the universe will be you."
Just how powerful it was to completely master a Chaos Ancient Universe could be seen from the Universe Great Emperor.
However, the four Immortal Kings did not know that while the might of a Chaos Ancient Universe was great, it had not yet reached the level of an Invincible Overlord. This was primarily because the Universe Great Emperor himself was the Pangu Axe.
Of course, the true identity of the Universe Great Emperor as the Pangu Axe was something even Ye Chen had only learned through the Eternal Ancient Stele, let alone others. Throughout all ages, few truly knew.
Within the Chaos Small Universe, myriad worlds were derived, with an Upper Realm located at their center.
At the center of the Upper Realm, a colossal tree truly reached for the heavens, towering straight into the cosmic starry sky. Its canopy spread boundlessly, each leaf larger than a star, emanating dense Space-Time Power.
Yes, this was the World Tree.
The World Tree pierced the heavens, completely integrated with the Chaos Small Universe, nurturing and growing. It had already reached the Quasi-Giant level and was still continuously growing; reaching the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant level was only a matter of time.
As for the World Tree, it had originally been reduced to a wisp of remnant soul. When Ye Chen burned his Chaos Small Universe, it burned alongside him. In a sense, the remnant soul had vanished, but it was also a form of rebirth.
The World Tree possessed its own intelligence, but it had not been born for long. Despite being as powerful as a Quasi-Giant, its intelligence was merely that of an infant.
Ye Chen had no solution for this; the World Tree's soul needed to experience life itself to mature.
But given how recently Ye Chen had been resurrected, it was natural that the World Tree could not immediately develop a powerful and wise intelligence.
The group arrived beneath the World Tree. At this moment, Ye Chen took out the Pangu's Heart.
The moment Pangu's Heart appeared, the entire Chaos Small Universe trembled, and the World Tree swayed incessantly.
The four Immortal Kings' expressions changed drastically, feeling an unparalleled pressure from this mysterious heart. Each beat actually caused their own hearts to resonate, gradually synchronizing into the same rhythm—truly astonishing.
What kind of heart was this?
Especially Pandao Immortal King, who felt a more direct connection than the other three. This heart before him seemed intimately related to him. As it beat, his own true form faintly manifested, resonating in harmony.
They all looked at Ye Chen in surprise. Pandao Immortal King asked, "Young friend Ye, what heart is this?"
Ye Chen stated directly, "Pangu's Heart. It can also be called the Eternal Heart!"
