Time flowed on, never ceasing, never stopping its passage for anyone.
Unbeknownst to him, Ye Chen was now three million years old.
It was hard to imagine that three million years had already passed.
Yet, on the other hand, it was also astonishing, for the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had only cultivated for a mere three million years, yet he was already the most valiant, peerless war god of the current era in the Chaos Sea, battling across all directions, waging war against overlord-level forces like the Alien Ancient Universe and the Origin Saint Race. His name was known to all, and people had forgotten that he was only three million years old.
However, in the last two to three hundred thousand years, Ye Chen had rarely appeared in the world, no longer roaming the Chaos Sea alone and shaking it time and again as he did in the past.
Naturally, as a peerless existence like him, even if he seldom showed himself now, he could still intimidate the entire Chaos Sea, preventing various enemies from invading the Pangu Universe.
On Ye Chen's three millionth birthday, the Chaos Heavenly Mansion held a grand longevity banquet. Celebrations came from all forces within the Pangu Universe, with countless powerful experts attending. Supreme Ones were everywhere, far from rare.
Even existences at the level of Giants of All Ages could be easily seen appearing at the feast.
All corners of the Chaos Sea also learned of the news. Many forces close to the Pangu Universe or neutral ones also sent Supreme Ones or even Giants of All Ages personally to offer congratulations.
For instance, the Divine Emperor and the Henggu Monarch dispatched Giant-level existences to personally convey their felicitations, as they needed to guard their respective Chaos Ancient Universes and could not easily leave to attend in person.
A three-million-year longevity banquet shook the entire Pangu Universe, and even the entire Chaos Sea.
In the current era, only a handful of individuals possessed such immense influence, and one of them was the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.
At the banquet, countless peerless Heaven's Prides arrived, all the strongest talents from the Pangu Universe or the Chaos Sea. They were basically all Imperial Sons and Daughters, children of Immortal Dao, or Great Perfection Supreme One Heaven's Prides, with transcendent talent and the hope of attaining the Dao in the future.
Now, arriving within the magnificent Chaos Heavenly Mansion and witnessing the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, whose imperial majesty overshadowed the mortal world with their own eyes, even the most arrogant Heaven's Prides present revealed fervent, worshipful expressions.
They had heard the legends of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor for far too long. Many among them had even grown up listening to his tales since childhood. Now, being able to see him in person, bathed in the Chaos Imperial Light that radiated out, making the myriad Daos of the heavens countless times more active, allowing anyone to easily comprehend various Great Daos, filled them with awe.
This, they thought, must be the heaven-defying methods of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.
They also witnessed with their own eyes how their usually aloof elders—fathers, masters, and other senior figures who reigned supreme over a realm and were revered by billions of living beings—all paid their respects and performed grand bows when meeting the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, without exception.
This included those supreme Giant-level existences who ruled over an Ancient Universe, legendary supreme beings—they all did the same, without fail, shocking the young talents to their core.
This was the might of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor. All powers across the Chaos Sea, all supreme existences, had to perform grand bows as a sign of respect, not daring to show the slightest neglect.
They all wondered: Just how strong was the Chaos Heavenly Emperor?
Naturally, even as the strongest Heaven's Prides of the Chaos Sea, they were merely young juniors, far from qualified to touch upon the Half-Step Overlord level. They did not know that below the Supreme One level, there were still Quasi-Giants, Giants of All Ages, Primordial Giants, Half-Step Overlords, and many other divisions.
Nor did they know that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor was the strongest Half-Step Overlord just below the Five Peerless Overlords, daring to challenge even the Origin Will of the Eternal Night Domain to a peak battle.
This longevity banquet felt like a dream to the strongest Heaven's Prides of the heavens, and they swore an oath to take the Chaos Heavenly Emperor as their goal, vowing to surpass him one day.
However, they failed to see that at the banquet, there were also many of the strongest Heaven's Prides who had once competed in the same era as the Chaos Heavenly Emperor. Many of them were already Supreme Ones, and some were even Quasi-Giants.
To become a Quasi-Giant in a mere three million years was absolutely astonishing, a feat that could shake the ancient and illuminate the present.
It must be noted that even figures like the Formless War God and the War Emperor had not become Quasi-Giants in just three million years back in their day.
Of course, this was also related to the current era—it was too bloody and chaotic. Countless Giant-level existences had fallen. In past epochs, it was simply impossible for so many supreme Giants to perish in a mere three million years.
It was precisely under such terrifying, bloody chaos that a batch of peerless Heaven's Prides could rise rapidly in such a short span of time.
Unfortunately, even with such proud achievements, when they looked at the Chaos Heavenly Emperor again, they paled into insignificance.
Take the Divine Emperor's Son, for example. Once a competitor in the same era, he could not be said to have been lost among the masses now, but he had fallen too far behind. The gap was too vast; he was no longer even a match for a single move from the other.
Watching the Chaos Heavenly Emperor high above, receiving obeisance from Giants of all sides, their expressions turned dim, and they sighed dejectedly.
They knew that even if they exhausted their entire lifetimes, they could never catch up to him again.
At the three-million-year longevity banquet, Ye Chen resonated his Chaos Great Dao with all the heavens, showering down infinite Chaos Imperial Light, allowing all living beings to comprehend the boiling myriad Daos of the heavens and making cultivation easier.
Simultaneously, he delivered a sermon. Every word and phrase involved the most profound philosophical truths of the Great Dao. Even Primordial Giants who listened gained deep insights, and many even experienced leaps in their cultivation realms. The most astonishing case was a certain Strongest Talent who directly leaped from the eighth level of the Heavenly King realm to the One Tribulation God King level, crossing more than a single major realm.
On the scene, there was even an Imperial Lord who, after gaining enlightenment, directly attained the Dao and underwent tribulation, becoming a Supreme One. He knelt before Ye Chen, grateful for the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's grace.
Otherwise, even after bitter cultivation for millions of years, he might not have truly attained the Dao of a Supreme One.
Not long after the longevity banquet concluded, an incredibly auspicious light suddenly appeared within the Chaos Heavenly Mansion, shaking the entire mansion. Moreover, terrifying Supreme One auras erupted, soaring into the sky and sweeping across all directions.
All sides were not surprised, merely thinking someone within the Chaos Heavenly Mansion was undergoing tribulation to attain the Dao of a Supreme One. For the Chaos Heavenly Mansion, attaining the Dao of a Supreme One was not rare; it happened almost every tens of thousands of years. It was just slightly surprising that three people were attaining the Dao simultaneously.
However, shocking news soon spread.
Those three Supreme One auras within the Chaos Heavenly Mansion were not from someone attaining the Dao of a Supreme One, but because the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had three more children born, all on the same day.
One daughter, and a pair of dragon-phoenix twins, all born on this day.
What was even more shocking was that they were born accompanied by terrifying Supreme One light—they were innate Supreme Ones!
Once the news spread, it shook the entire Pangu Universe, and even the Chaos Sea, drawing the attention of all sides!
