The Endless Heavenly Venerate said, "Of course, even for me, traveling to the future is extremely difficult. You should understand that as well."
Ye Chen nodded, because there would be figures of Supreme Heavenly Venerates blocking his path—not their true bodies, but Eternal Heavenly Dao Imprints—preventing the Endless Heavenly Venerate from crossing time and space.
Especially since the future is unpredictable; attempting to go there would encounter immense resistance.
Ye Chen could imagine that when the Endless Heavenly Venerate journeyed to the future, one Eternal Heavenly Dao Imprint after another of the Supreme Heavenly Venerates would surely leap out, their heavenly shadows blocking the way. Even someone as powerful as the Endless Heavenly Venerate would undoubtedly face terrifyingly great resistance when traversing the future in this manner.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate continued, "Of course, my purpose wasn't merely that. I also wanted to foresee the Quantitative Calamity. Because I once foresaw a future in the endless ages to come—the Origin Land stained with blood, heaven and earth both collapsing. That is the true reason for my journey. I wanted to foresee a more detailed future!"
As the Heavenly Venerate of Space-Time, the Endless Heavenly Venerate had seen more of the blood-stained future than other Supreme Heavenly Venerates and had also foreseen the arrival of the Quantitative Calamity.
Therefore, he set out into the River of Time, heading toward the future, wishing to glimpse everything.
Naturally, during this process, he encountered many situations. Because he himself was a Supreme Heavenly Venerate, and moreover the Heavenly Venerate of Space-Time, he avoided many obstructions and used Supreme Heavenly Venerate means to break through many blockades.
Along the way, the Endless Heavenly Venerate traversed through time and eventually arrived near the location of the blood-stained future, witnessing endless darkness enveloping that blood-stained future.
Within this endless darkness, the Endless Heavenly Venerate saw the Origin Land completely disintegrate and collapse, all living beings nearly utterly annihilated. Eternal Heavenly Venerates and Celestial Sovereign Level powers were also continuously being destroyed. It was as if everything between heaven and earth no longer existed.
Even that segment of the River of Time was dyed red by endless blood.
The perception of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate is incomparably sharp; even when peering from other eras, they can still sense it.
Thus, the five Celestial Sovereign Level terrors detected the arrival of the Endless Heavenly Venerate, knowing he was not of this era. They entered the blood-stained River of Time to surround and kill the Endless Heavenly Venerate.
Once the past is altered, it could cause a massive reversal in the future. Even everything that was destined to happen might very well cease to exist.
Because it was a Supreme Heavenly Venerate who discovered all this.
Therefore, the five Celestial Sovereign Level terrors, no matter what, had to completely kill the Endless Heavenly Venerate. They could not allow him to return to the past with knowledge of the blood-stained future and change everything, even if they themselves would suffer immense karmic consequences.
The final result was exactly as everyone has seen. The Endless Heavenly Venerate met with misfortune. Even fighting with all his might, he was no match for the five Celestial Sovereign Level terrors and thus perished.
Of course, before his end, he dragged one of the Celestial Sovereign Level terrors with him—that was the Palm Venerate.
Moreover, before setting out, the Endless Heavenly Venerate had laid down contingency plans, which was how he gained a certain chance in the future to reverse life and death and revive.
Ye Chen suddenly looked at the Endless Heavenly Venerate. "Fellow Daoist, when you went to the blood-stained future, did you see anything?"
Since he went to the blood-stained future and even reached that time period, the Endless Heavenly Venerate must have seen something, which led to his detection, discovery, and targeting by the Celestial Sovereign Level terrors.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate said gravely, "I saw it. It was tragic. Heaven and earth were silent, everything ceased to exist!"
That was the future he saw when he went to the blood-stained future—a future that no longer existed, causing everyone present to feel their hearts sink. Was it that hopeless?
In the present era, aren't there still several Supreme Heavenly Venerates?
Why would it still be like this?
Ultimately, apart from Ye Chen and the Endless Heavenly Venerate, the others, including the four Ancient Great Venerates, did not understand the Quantitative Calamity very well.
"However, it's not without hope," the Endless Heavenly Venerate said. "In the blood-stained future, I saw a person. He sat alone on a throne, surrounded by chaos energy. Even when heaven and earth collapsed, when the Origin collapsed, he alone remained. I couldn't see his true face clearly, but I sensed that he was the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate—the final hope!"
"Because on the throne he sat upon, I saw an ancient Heavenly Venerate character: 'Primordial Beginning'!"
"Apart from the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate, no one else could survive, not even other Heavenly Venerates. Therefore, I believe the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate is the hope. He will change this impending blood-stained future."
Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression shifted slightly. He recalled the glimpse of the blood-stained future he himself had foreseen, but he didn't say anything more.
Then he raised his head to look at the heavens. His gaze instantly pierced through the thirty-three layers of heaven, landing on that dark place beyond the thirty-three heavens, sealed by all the heavens.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate also looked, and then the two exchanged a glance, both filled with gravity.
Ye Chen suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, how long do you think it will be before the Quantitative Calamity arrives?"
The four Ancient Great Venerates, as well as Hun Wuji, Qian Xun, Ya Ya, and the others, all looked at the Endless Heavenly Venerate. At this moment, they had all learned part of the terrifying truth.
The horror of the Quantitative Calamity far surpassed that of the Twilight of the Heavens in the past. Not only would it cause even Supreme Heavenly Venerates to perish because of it, but the final result would likely be the Origin Land itself collapsing and disintegrating, with countless living beings annihilated.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate merely glanced at Ye Chen, and Ye Chen immediately understood, his expression unprecedentedly grave.
It would not be long. And within this time, Ye Chen must raise his own strength at the fastest possible speed. Otherwise, how could he better protect his family when facing the Quantitative Calamity?
Afterwards, the two Supreme Heavenly Venerates secretly conversed with each other for a moment. Finally, Ye Chen led the group away.
The original purpose of this trip was to pacify the Endless Forbidden Zone, allowing the Chaos Heavenly Mansion to be established within this forbidden zone and build its own Celestial Sovereign Level power, enabling rapid development.
But now that the Endless Heavenly Venerate had revived and returned to the world, it was naturally impossible to let the Chaos Heavenly Mansion continue to choose the Endless Heavenly Domain as its site.
Nevertheless, the gains from this trip were plentiful. Not only had the Endless Heavenly Venerate revived, adding another Supreme Heavenly Venerate to the world, providing a powerful force to deal with the Quantitative Calamity in the future.
Moreover, because Ye Chen had lent his aid, the Endless Heavenly Venerate owed Ye Chen a favor, effectively gaining a Heavenly Venerate ally.
On another front, the Space-Time Great Emperor had also obtained the inheritance of the World Ancestral Tree. Without a doubt, in a certain sense, the Space-Time Great Emperor was the reincarnation of the World Ancestral Tree. He had a certain hope of becoming a Heavenly Venerate of Space-Time in the future, which would greatly increase the strength on this side.
Furthermore, the many supreme powerhouses from past eras who had been trapped in the Endless Forbidden Zone for endless ages had also decided to join the Chaos Heavenly Mansion. This would cause the Chaos Heavenly Mansion's power to increase dramatically in a short time, closing the gap with other Eternal Heavenly Clans and Celestial Sovereign Level powers.
