On the Heavenly Gate's divine ship, the powerhouses of the Slaying the Heavens Alliance had all completely recovered from their injuries thanks to Ye Chen's healing pills and had tidied themselves up. They were no longer in a sorry state but had regained their former heroic spirit.
However, the Slaying the Heavens Alliance powerhouses, led by the five Saints, looked at Wangchen with reverence and awe.
A peerless Heavenly King had actually stepped forward to protect them. What imposing might! Even the various major powers of the Myriad Domains in this heaven and earth had bowed their heads, not daring to defy him.
Yet, looking at Ye Chen, who just over a decade ago was merely a puny Demigod junior, they felt a rare sense of amazement.
More than ten years had passed. The young junior of the past had now grown to this level, capable of ruling the world and slaughtering Saints under the starry sky. It truly made one sigh at the ruthlessness of time.
But it was also a pleasant surprise. The seed they had placed their hopes in back then had finally grown to maturity, representing the new hope for the future of the Tian Du Continent.
Yet, they were also moved to tears, their aged eyes brimming.
After the Slaying the Heavens War was launched back then, they had been reduced to something like rats scurrying in the streets, hunted by the various major powers of the Myriad Domains. Even hiding required extreme caution, constantly changing locations every day to avoid discovery by the Myriad Domains powerhouses.
During that period, battles had erupted time and again. The Slaying the Heavens Alliance's powerhouses had continuously dwindled, with Saints falling and casualties severe.
The number of Slaying the Heavens Alliance powerhouses now was far less than half of what it had been before. Many had passed away forever.
If not for Ye Chen leading the Heavenly Gate's Saints to appear today, they would likely have had to flee forever.
"It's a pity we're missing Great Sage Hong Tian..."
Ye Chen sighed softly. Even the others had no news of Great Sage Hong Tian. His fate was truly ominous.
After temporarily settling the Slaying the Heavens Alliance powerhouses at another Heavenly Gate stronghold on the Tian Du Continent, Ye Chen left. He believed that with the deterrence of a Heavenly King like Wangchen, few would dare to defy and attack the Slaying the Heavens Alliance powerhouses again—unless they were seeking death.
Moreover, Ye Chen's own imposing might now thoroughly shook the world. Even after entering this ancient realm, the Myriad Domains powerhouses had still heard of him.
In the current world, there truly weren't many who dared to provoke this great killing star.
After handling the Slaying the Heavens Alliance matters, Ye Chen's hand sliced through the void. His profound gaze looked directly into the endless space between planes. He was gazing toward the mysterious King's Ancient Path.
Others might not know the location of the King's Ancient Path. Over the years, even Heavenly Kings had tried to find it but couldn't locate even a trace.
The King's Ancient Hall that led to the King's Ancient Path had long been shattered by Great Sage Hong Tian, and with Old Yan's intervention, the spatial traces had been erased. Unless an ancient Great Sage made a move, it was likely no one could find it.
But just because others didn't know didn't mean Ye Chen didn't. Because his True King Divine Crown was obtained from the King's Ancient Path, it could sense the path's existence. Furthermore, the seal left by Old Yan back then had also given him the method to undo it.
Now he had time. He needed to unseal the King's Ancient Path and welcome everyone inside out for a family reunion.
His parents—he hadn't seen them for so long. He missed them dearly.
Remembering his childhood, when everyone had abandoned him, only his parents had never left his side, always protecting him. Although he had lived two lives, such parental love was still rare.
The same was true for his friends like the Thirteenth Prince, Vivian, Princess Hong Rong, and the others.
Not long after, Ye Chen directly broke into the space between planes. Vaguely, he could see powerful warships constantly shuttling through the endless void, and powerful figures appearing one after another—people from various major powers.
More than a decade had already passed, yet they still hadn't given up searching for traces of the King's Ancient Path.
Whoosh—
He continuously traversed the endless void. Only after a full half-day did he finally stop, sensing the aura of the King's Ancient Path.
During the Slaying the Heavens War back then, Great Sage Hong Tian had personally shattered the King's Ancient Hall that transmitted to the King's Ancient Path. But this spatial node still existed. Once found, it was enough to enter the ancient path.
He circulated his divine abilities, executing the secret technique left by Old Yan, and directly slapped the void. Instantly, a thick crack appeared, with misty spiritual energy flowing out. Inside was the true world of the King's Ancient Path.
With a whoosh, Ye Chen's entire figure charged into the King's Ancient Path.
The King's Ancient Path, called an ancient path, was actually like a magnificent inner world, personally opened up by the Great Power Yue specifically to nurture the younger generation of successors to inherit his Great Dao legacy.
It had been discovered in ancient times, and generation after generation had sent young Heaven's Prides into it for continuous training, while also constantly resolving the dangers on the ancient path. Eventually, the entire ancient path had become much safer, becoming the future hope of the Tian Du Continent lineage.
At the end of the ancient path, there was a way to leave it and head toward the gates of the All Heavens.
Entering the King's Ancient Path again, Ye Chen felt somewhat nostalgic. Many things had happened here in the past.
Huang Tian had crippled his cultivation, turning him from a genius into a waste. He had also walked to the final point of the King's Ancient Path, entered it, ascended the ancient gate, and engaged in fierce battles with the kings of the Void Heaven Domain.
Moreover, during the Slaying the Heavens War, he had fought all the way with Xia Shuangwang, killing their way into the myriad realms...
This ancient path held far too many memories.
After a brief moment of nostalgic sighing, Ye Chen's glabella shone, and then a vast, invisible Spiritual Sense directly spread out, covering the heavens and earth.
With his current cultivation, his Primordial Spirit power was countless times stronger than before. Moreover, the ancient path was not as vast as the myriad realms, making expansion easier. It directly covered the entire ancient path world, incredibly powerful.
Under his powerful Spiritual Sense, he quickly discovered that within this world, powerful auras were flashing into existence one after another.
There were quite a few people, and over half were at the Demigod realm. Several had even reached the fifth level of Demigod, and one had become a super Demigod—truly extraordinary.
After sensing these people with his Spiritual Sense, Ye Chen smiled. Because these people were precisely the seeds selected from the Tian Du Continent back then, the future hope. Now, each had basically grown to maturity.
Although they couldn't compare to the Heaven's Prides of the myriad realms, reaching this step within this ancient path world was already quite good.
Under his Spiritual Sense, he immediately sensed a rather primitive small town where basically all the people resided. There were even children playing and laughing.
This made him smile slightly. Clearly, over these years, some among them had fallen in love, married, and had children.
Suddenly, he smiled faintly, because he sensed a familiar person—
The Thirteenth Prince!
Whoosh—
His figure vanished.
