"Heavenly Venerate above!"
In the Origin Land, all living beings bowed in worship.
One by one, the Heavenly Venerates in existence gazed into the distance toward the Endless Forbidden Zone.
"Has Endless successfully revived and returned?"
"Endless, who died so suddenly back then, actually didn't truly perish?"
"He once traversed past, present, and future during the All Heavens Era, encountering a catastrophic disaster suspected to be related to the blood-stained future, which is why he suddenly perished without warning. However, Endless is, after all, the Space-Time Heavenly Venerate. Killing such a Space-Time Heavenly Venerate is indeed extremely difficult."
"Even if Endless truly passed away, how could a Supreme Heavenly Venerate be completely annihilated? He would eventually return at some moment in the future, just like the Heavenly Emperor. Endless will too, only when he returns, he will still be a Heavenly Venerate!"
The various Heavenly Venerates all knew that this was the return of the Endless Heavenly Venerate.
However, the Endless Heavenly Venerate had not formed any irreconcilable blood feuds with other Supreme Heavenly Venerates back in the day. Therefore, when he returned, no other hostile Supreme Heavenly Venerates took the opportunity to interfere or make a move.
Heavenly might surged majestically across the Origin Land. Within the Endless Forbidden Zone, the Endless Heavenly Venerate stood up. The shattered battle armor on his body clanged and resonated, radiating brilliant, resplendent light.
The true Endless Heavenly Venerate had revived, a heaven-defying revival that felt utterly inconceivable.
Ye Chen and the revived Endless Heavenly Venerate looked at each other. After a long moment, the Endless Heavenly Venerate revealed a faint smile and said, "Chaos, I have finally waited for your appearance."
It was as if everything before him had long been foreseen by the Endless Heavenly Venerate.
He had foreseen that at this very moment, he would meet the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.
Ye Chen was not surprised. The Endless Heavenly Venerate was reputed to be an existence capable of traversing past, present, and future. Perhaps while roaming the River of Time during the All Heavens Era, he had seen Ye Chen.
Ye Chen said, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on your successful revival."
The Endless Heavenly Venerate chuckled lightly, "If not for your intervention, Fellow Daoist, even with my contingency plans, my return would have been rather difficult."
"Father!"
At this moment, Hun Wuji, who had always been steady and composed, rushed forward excitedly. Looking at his father, whose majestic bearing suppressed past and present, tears fell from his tiger-like eyes.
How many epochs had passed, from the All Heavens Era until now, finally waiting for his Heavenly Father's world-defying return.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate looked at Hun Wuji, sensing the aura of the Space-Time Great Dao and the Chaos Great Dao on him, both reaching an extreme level of power. A trace of astonishment appeared on his face. "You actually became the disciple of the Primordial Beginning King."
Hun Wuji nodded. "My master is indeed the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable."
The Endless Heavenly Venerate nodded slightly. "Being able to take the Primordial Beginning King as your master is also a great opportunity for you."
This point, even he had not anticipated, as everything concerning a Supreme Heavenly Venerate is difficult to deduce, especially a Heavenly Venerate King like the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable who proved his Dao through chaos—utterly undeducable.
Back then, when the Endless Heavenly Venerate saw Hun Wuji being sent away, he knew the boy would have a tremendous opportunity in the future, but he never imagined it would be such an opportunity.
A personal disciple of a Heavenly Venerate King might very well become another Supreme Heavenly Venerate in the future. Father and son, both Heavenly Venerates—that would undoubtedly be an eternal, peerless myth in the world.
At this moment, the dark Heavenly Soul was still present, though it was countless times weaker than before. Having been devoured of most of its Heavenly Soul power by the Endless Heavenly Venerate, it was extremely weak, plunged into an unprecedented state of frailty. It stared at the fully revived Endless Heavenly Venerate with a mixture of shock, fury, and terror.
This shouldn't be. Back then, the Endless Heavenly Venerate was struck by the combined force of their five. He shouldn't have had any hope of survival. It roared, "Endless, how can you possibly still be alive? We clearly obliterated all your True Spirit and Heavenly Soul imprints!"
Even seeing the Endless Heavenly Venerate revived with its own eyes, standing before it, it still found it somewhat hard to believe.
In this world, no one could survive an encirclement and killing by five Celestial Sovereign Level existences. It firmly believed that even if the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable came, he would be no exception—unable to escape death.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate looked at the weakened dark Heavenly Soul and said, "Palm Venerate, since you and the others knew I, Endless, am the Space-Time Heavenly Venerate, you should also have known that I can roam the River of Time, truly traversing past, present, and future, traveling to different eras. Before setting out, I already had a premonition of fatal danger. I had already laid down contingency plans, scattering multiple fragments of my Heavenly Soul and True Spirit across different eras throughout the ages, precisely to avoid the day I might meet with misfortune."
"Of course, even with these contingencies, summoning the Heavenly Soul and True Spirit fragments scattered across all eras is not easy, even hopelessly slim. But blame yourself for trying to revive my Heavenly Venerate body and burning Heavenly Soul power to activate the trace of Heavenly Venerate origin I left within the body. That became a beacon on the River of Time, allowing my various imprints scattered across past and future to return, reunite, and ultimately lead to my revival and return today."
"In a way, I really have to thank you for all this!"
The words of the Endless Heavenly Venerate made the dark Heavenly Soul let out a despairing, sorrowful roar. In the end, it was because of its own actions.
"Alright, before we talk, I'll deal with you first!" the Endless Heavenly Venerate declared.
Boom—
A Heavenly Venerate made his move, unleashing unimaginable, immense power. Infinite fragments of time surged forth, enveloping countless Heavenly Venerate runes, wrapping around the extremely weak dark Heavenly Soul.
The dark Heavenly Soul roared. It was a Supreme Heavenly Venerate of its generation, a supreme, paramount existence in the dark world, addressed as Palm Venerate, mastering everything throughout the ages.
It even feared not the karma of time, boldly crossing eras to utterly annihilate the once supremely prosperous and unrivaled Endless Heavenly Race.
Now, how could it willingly accept such an end? Unwilling to be suppressed just like that, it burned itself, giving birth to an immensely terrifying sky-shrouding giant hand, brimming with absolute dark aura.
That was the true form of the Palm Venerate. Ye Chen had witnessed it with his own eyes back then—its true body was a dark giant hand.
Celestial Sovereign Level heavenly might bloomed, overwhelming the heavens and earth, forcefully soaring upward, trying to flee this place.
But as soon as the Space-Time Heavenly Dao domain manifested, it was countless times more powerful than before, completely reversing this process. The dark Heavenly Soul returned to the moment before it started burning, staring at the Endless Heavenly Venerate with shock and fury.
The final outcome was only one: suppression.
In the end, this Celestial Sovereign Level great terror, the dark Heavenly Soul, was suppressed by the Endless Heavenly Venerate.
Moreover, as time passed, the dark Heavenly Soul would inevitably become nourishment for the Endless Heavenly Venerate's return to his true peak.
After suppressing the dark Heavenly Soul, the Endless Heavenly Venerate looked at the deathly silent Endless Forbidden Zone and sighed softly, revealing a trace of guilt.
If not for him back then, how could the Endless Heavenly Race have fallen to such a state? He was the one who caused the deaths of countless clansmen.
But it was useless now. The dead were dead. Even the Endless Heavenly Venerate could not completely reverse all this, resurrecting every clansman killed back then one by one. That was impossible.
A Supreme Heavenly Venerate is omnipotent, but not all-powerful. Even someone as powerful as the Endless Heavenly Venerate, a Space-Time Heavenly Venerate capable of reversing time, could not achieve it.
He himself was the best example. If not for leaving corresponding contingencies back then, there would have been no hope of revival.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate looked at Ye Chen and said, "I believe Fellow Daoist has many questions. Please, come in for a talk."
