After the great battle concluded, the Ancient Lan World returned to its original tranquility.
However, the entire Gu Lan Continent was already devastated from the clashes of the powerhouses. Gigantic fissure abysses ran through the vast continent, large swathes of land were collapsing, and the Saint City was almost completely destroyed. The area spanning millions of li centered around it had completely sunk during the siege by the Seven Heavenly Kings.
Everything had almost completely changed.
Fortunately, Ye Chen had already become the World Lord, practically omnipotent within this world. With just a stamp of his foot, the numerous fissures merged together, and the sunken earth rose once more.
He displayed means akin to a true creator god; everything began to improve.
Naturally, he also utilized the World Origin force; otherwise, even a Heavenly God would find it difficult to achieve this.
Not long after, Ye Chen performed an even more earth-shattering feat. In an untamed primordial region outside the human domains, he directly opened up a vast, boundless territory, half the size of the human domains. He even plucked several spiritual roots and spiritual veins from the human domains and placed them deep within the earth. These could absorb the world's spiritual energy, continuously releasing spiritual energy to nourish this land and alter its cultivation environment.
All of this demonstrated his profound and miraculous power.
Within the Ancient Lan World, whether human or Sin Tribe, everyone regarded Ye Chen with awe and reverence. Countless people began to believe in the Ancient Lan Holy Sect, and even more so, they began to have faith in Ye Chen himself, continuously providing Faith Power that flew towards the Heavenly God Mountain.
The Faith Power grew even more potent.
But this was not the end. Not long after, Ye Chen appeared high above the Tian Du Continent, overlooking the boundless land. Having obtained the inheritance of the September Great Power, he had also gained the recognition of the Tian Du Continent's origin, becoming the master of the heaven and earth where the Tian Du Continent resided.
He displayed earth-shattering means, actually causing the Ancient Lan World and the Tian Du Continent to slowly merge together. Such a feat could truly be called world-shaking, astonishing even Heavenly Kings.
Merging the vast Tian Du Continent into the Ancient Lan World, one world and one heaven and earth combining—naturally, it was the heaven and earth of the Tian Du Continent that was truly being assimilated.
The boundary walls of the Ancient Lan World surged tumultuously, and the oceans beyond the Gu Lan Continent churned violently. A massive, magnificent, and vast continent was slowly merging into this great world from the outside.
Naturally, this could not be accomplished in one leap; it required time to fuse, at least ten years to truly and completely merge.
Ye Chen's purpose in doing this was naturally to protect the living beings of the Tian Du Continent. Its cultivation environment was far inferior to the Ancient Lan World; at most, it could only give birth to experts of the Saint Treasury Realm, making it relatively too weak. Faced with invasions from the Myriad Domains' powerhouses, it would be utterly unmatched. The Slaying the Heavens battle of the past was the greatest testament to this flaw.
After merging into the Gu Lan Continent, it could become another magnificent landmass, and under the protection of the Ancient Lan World, even Heavenly Kings could not act recklessly.
This action naturally also showcased Ye Chen's profound and miraculous power. Whether it was the powerhouses of the Ancient Lan World or the Tian Du Continent, all who witnessed this scene were deeply shaken.
The Myriad Domains' powerhouses were even more shocked, watching everything with disbelief. Throughout history, only those ancient Great Sages could achieve such feats, and now the Battle Saint King had also reached this level.
Although they knew he relied on the World Origin force, it was still far too astonishing.
All living beings within the two heavens and earths grew increasingly in awe of and faith in Ye Chen. The Faith Power actually surged dramatically within a short period.
This was probably something even Ye Chen had not anticipated.
As for those Heaven's Pride of the younger generation from the Myriad Domains, looking at that lofty, unreachable figure, they all sighed deeply, knowing they could hardly catch up to him in this lifetime.
Even top-tier Heaven's Pride like the Primordial Demon God and Feng Wu had complex looks in their eyes. The Yuan Yang God King, with his divine halos, appeared transcendent and aloof like a son of gods. At this moment, he also sighed with emotion, "The Battle Saint King truly lives up to being a peerless hero."
The others all remained silent, offering no further words.
Not long after, Ye Chen had the Myriad Domains' powerhouses leave the Tian Du Continent one by one, as he was about to close the world gate and seal off this heaven and earth, preventing external powerhouses from entering and disturbing the living beings of the two heavens and earths.
Similarly, he summoned back the young generation seeds from the King's Ancient Path, allowing them to reunite with the Slaying the Heavens Alliance's powerhouses and tasked them with reconstructing the entire Tian Du Continent.
Naturally, he would also have the Holy Sect from the Gu Lan Continent assist in this endeavor.
Everything was quickly being perfected; the two world heavens and earths were slowly merging.
As the true World Lord, Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back in the endless void beyond, quietly watching the slow fusion of one world and one heaven and earth.
He saw the points of collision and merging, where primordial Chaos Qi surged tumultuously—the origin force of all things. Whether in birth, destruction, or merging, world heavens and earths required the assistance of primordial Chaos Qi; it was indispensable.
During this period, as the controller, Ye Chen also perceived the collision of the two heavens and earths' laws. There was fusion, and many great Daos imperceptible to ordinary people emerged, which he comprehended, revealing certain principles.
His eyes grew profound, and as time passed, they became increasingly unfathomable.
He no longer seemed like a young man, but more like an ancient Great Sage who had experienced the vicissitudes of countless ages. Traces of endless Daos flickered in his eyes, with runes shimmering and intertwining, seeing through everything and understanding everything.
His aura had long surpassed the realm of a Half-Saint; he could break through to become a supreme expert of the Saint Treasury Realm at any moment. But he did not; he continuously suppressed the breakthrough of his cultivation.
Day after day, month after month.
One year, two years...
In the blink of an eye, three full years had passed, yet Ye Chen never left this area even half a step. He remained watching the merging of the world heavens and earths, his eyes profound, containing endless mysteries, endless Dao and principles, and unprecedented profundity.
This was a precious experience, offering extraordinary benefits to a cultivator, deepening their understanding of heaven and earth. Especially for Ye Chen as the World Lord, his comprehension and insights were more thorough than anyone else's.
He was unwilling to give up this precious experience, and his understanding of the Dao had also grown far more profound than before.
Compared to his former self, he had become much stronger, increasingly unfathomable.
