Within the scene, the Origin Land was boundless and endless, no less vast than the Primal World, and it too possessed inexhaustible essence of heaven and earth. Divine fruits and immortal fruits were scattered everywhere, and chaotic immortal soils brimming with infinite opportunities were spread throughout the heavens and earth of the Origin Land as if they cost nothing.
One day, within the Origin Land, figures of various appearances were born and nurtured. Some figures resembled stars, some resembled black holes, some had human heads and horse bodies, and some had human bodies with nine different heads of strange beasts...
Each figure was different, but without exception, all of these figures were immensely powerful.
Ye Chen knew that these were the Innate Deities, a truly heaven-favored, terrifying race.
The first batch of Innate Deities born in the Origin Land were actually born at the Taixu level, and there were even those at the Taizhen level, and the strongest at the Taishang level.
Taishang, even in the present era, in this Chaos Epoch where Supreme Heavenly Venerates do not appear and Ancient Great Venerables remain hidden, are absolute overlord-level existences.
But every Taishang requires endless eons of cultivation.
Even the offspring of Heavenly Venerates, born with absolute talent and flawless Heavenly Venerate bloodlines of boundless power, would need epochs as a unit of time to cultivate to the Taishang Realm.
It was hard to believe that the outstanding ones among the Innate Deities possessed absolute power comparable to Taishang from birth. That was undoubtedly the most powerful force at the beginning of the Origin Land.
Ye Chen quietly listened and watched, understanding the past and present of the Origin Land.
These matters could basically be looked up in various ancient powers, as many of these powers had been passed down from the Primordial Era to the present.
But he knew that what the Heavenly Emperor was saying would not be without reason.
The Heavenly Emperor said, "That period, when the Origin Land had just been born, when chaos first opened and the Primordial was first divided, is called the Primordial Era. In the Primordial Era, the Innate Deities ruled the endless Origin Land. Although powerful Origin Myriad Clans gradually emerged later, these myriad clans were also far stronger than the myriad clans of the Primal World. They too were born innately in that same Primordial Era."
"Although they were far inferior to the Innate Deities in terms of bloodline, talent, power, and other aspects, they were still not to be underestimated. Many clans possessed extremely powerful foundations. Once they cultivated in the future, they too could cultivate to become Jietian Realm Sovereigns."
"Of course, even so, the Innate Deities remained the overlords of the Origin Land, ruling over the endless Origin Land."
"They were the race standing at the very peak. The myriad clans could not contend with them."
"Similarly, standing at the very apex of the pyramid, the Innate Deities devoured the essence of heaven and earth and also consumed powerful blood food. Naturally, they would also hunt the peerless experts among the myriad clans, devouring their flesh and blood and refining their essence."
"At that time, in the Primordial Era when chaos had just opened, the myriad clans were both strong and weak, utterly incapable of resisting the Innate Deities. Countless experts were devoured."
"Later, after endless eons, the myriad clans gradually mastered corresponding, suitable cultivation methods and began to grow powerful, giving birth to one supreme expert after another."
"Among these supreme experts, there were also existences at the Taishang Realm. They were unwilling to submit forever to the rule and devouring of the Innate Deities. Finally, one day, they rose up in rebellion, secretly allying with the various supreme experts among the myriad clans to resist together and overthrow the rule of the Innate Deities."
"However, this war of the myriad clans against the Innate Deities was far from as easy as imagined."
"Although the myriad clans calculated with intent against the unprepared, and the wisest among the myriad clans calculated the various weaknesses of the Innate Deities, and indeed succeeded in killing many powerful deity-level existences among the Innate Deities at the start, they soon suffered the frenzied retaliation of the Innate Deities."
"After a series of terrifying great battles, blood stained the endless land, heaven collapsed and earth split."
"Many Innate Deities indeed fell. One must know, the number of Innate Deities was indeed far less than that of the myriad clans, but in terms of individual power, few among the Origin Myriad Clans could compare. Any random Innate Deity possessed Taixu-level combat power, wielding the terrifying power to annihilate an entire clan."
"And indeed it was so. In this great war between the Innate Deities and the Origin Myriad Clans, many clans were permanently erased, becoming history."
"The Origin Myriad Clans slew multiple Taishang overlords among the Innate Deities, but even more Taishang overlords fell, becoming bloody rain."
"Most terrifyingly, when the Origin Myriad Clans gathered all their experts, forming an unprecedented army of the myriad clans, slew many Innate Deities, and fought their way to the main stronghold of the Innate Deities—that place of birth, said to be the Essence Land of the Origin Land."
"The Essence Land, the true core of the Origin Land, was occupied by the Innate Deities."
"Only upon arriving there did they truly discover that among the Innate Deities, the most fearsome were not those deity overlords at the Taishang Realm level, but the Nine Innate Saint Emperors!"
As he spoke, the scene also continuously changed.
On the scene appeared a chaotic land wrapped like egg white, from which all the myriad Daos of the Origin Heavens were nurtured. It was the Essence Land, the core land of the Origin Land.
Within the Essence Land, one could comprehend all changes of the myriad Daos of the Origin Heavens.
The army gathered by the Origin Myriad Clans, with countless experts, fought their way to the innermost core of the Innate Deities, which was the Essence Land.
Therein appeared nine peerless, matchless figures, each different.
Even on this fictional scene, an aura of great terror that overwhelmed all heavens was transmitted, as if it could completely crush everything in the world.
Hearing this, Ye Chen's gaze also slightly focused.
He knew of the Innate Saint Emperors. They were the nine most powerful deities among the Innate Deities, hailed as the Nine Innate Saint Emperors, the true rulers who governed the Origin Land.
Each Innate Saint Emperor possessed peerless power surpassing the Taishang Realm.
In truth, the Nine Innate Saint Emperors were even the embodiments of the laws of the Origin Land, mastering the most terrifying power of laws.
The Heavenly Emperor said, "Back then, when the army of the Origin Myriad Clans fought their way to the Essence Land, they discovered that among the Innate Deities, there were still nine invincible Innate Saint Emperors, suppressing all heavens."
"Without suspense, in that battle, the army of the myriad clans suffered a crushing defeat, collapsing in disarray. Of all the supreme experts of the myriad clans who fought their way to the Essence Land, apart from a mere handful who escaped with their lives, without exception, all fell!"
"The first rebellion of the Origin Myriad Clans ended in such a tragic manner."
Ye Chen knew that back then, the myriad clans, reduced to blood food for the Innate Deities, wanted to rebel. Thinking that fighting their way to the Essence Land would end the great era of Innate Deity rule, they never expected the final result would be encountering the even more terrifying nine Innate Saint Emperors.
Once the Innate Saint Emperors appeared, the army of the myriad clans collapsed like a landslide.
Even powerful Taishang Realm overlords were nothing more than that before the Innate Saint Emperors, being forcefully suppressed and slain.
What collapsed was not just the army of the myriad clans, but the confidence of the Origin Myriad Clans.
