To this day, Ye Chen had been the World Lord for a full three years. Although his true self had remained in the endless void, watching the fusion of the two heavens and earths, comprehending their endless mysteries, and immersing himself without leaving for even a moment, his consciousness had used the power of the World Origin to manifest another incarnation. This incarnation presided over the stability of the two great heavens and earths.
The Ancient Lan World had basically recovered its former peak strength. He had become a true supreme god, surpassing even the Heavenly God, revered and worshipped by the world.
The vast Faith Power was no longer supplied to the Holy Church or the Heavenly God; it was all under his control.
However, he still granted a portion of the Faith Power to the Heavenly God and some to the Holy Elders to maintain the world's stability and avoid large-scale turmoil.
A portion of Faith Power was also granted to the Sin Tribes' region to safeguard the peace of that territory. Everything had become orderly.
Now, whether it was the Heavenly God, the Heavenly Kings of the two immortal empires, or the two Heavenly Kings of the Sin Tribes, they had all completely submitted to Ye Chen's command.
Even though he was only a Half-Saint, no one dared to disobey, because he was the World Lord, the master of everything. It was that simple.
During these three years, however, the Ancient Kingdom Heavenly King and the Sin Tribes Heavenly Kings had been dispatched by Ye Chen to the Heavenly Gate in Tiancang Domain. A Heavenly God, along with the Lan Kingdom Heavenly King and the Elf Race Heavenly King, were left behind to guard this place.
Although the Heavenly Gate was powerful and had the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, an ancient Great Sage, presiding over it, it lacked corresponding Heavenly Kings to awe the world. Under the entire sect, there were only Wang Chen and one other. Therefore, the two Heavenly Kings were sent to be stationed at the Heavenly Gate to intimidate the world.
Moreover, with the occasional guidance from the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, it would be greatly beneficial for the two Heavenly Kings, allowing them to improve their cultivation. If they stayed in the Ancient Lan World, it would be difficult for them to advance among Heavenly Kings.
As for the Heavenly God, his situation was akin to a miracle, difficult to replicate. He fundamentally relied on the wondrous use of Faith Power, and his own talent was indeed transcendent enough to reach the peak of the Heavenly King realm.
The arrival of the two Heavenly Kings also caused quite a stir within the Heavenly Gate. Heavenly Kings were absolutely considered beings standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid across the myriad realms. Their appearance made the Heavenly Gate seem even more powerful.
Similarly, everyone in the Heavenly Gate was filled with astonishment upon learning that Ye Chen had become a World Lord. But when they recalled that he was the invincible Battle Saint King, it all seemed to make sense. In the understanding of the Heavenly Gate's powerhouses, both the Battle Saint King and the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord were symbols of invincibility, seemingly omnipotent.
Naturally, the appearance of the two Heavenly Kings did not lead them to look down on the Heavenly Gate. On the contrary, after witnessing the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, an ancient Great Sage who surpassed Heavenly Kings, they felt reverence and became approachable, also due to Ye Chen's instructions.
Naturally, the sudden arrival of the two Heavenly Kings made the Heavenly Gate's prestige even more prominent and its power increasingly formidable, causing all major forces to hold it in awe and filling them with admiration for the Battle Saint King.
Clearly, within these three years, the news of the Battle Saint King conquering the Ancient Lan World and becoming its World Lord had shaken the entire myriad realms, causing a great stir and attracting the attention of the world.
Over the three years, Ye Chen's World Origin incarnation often sat upon the divine throne of the Supreme Altar. It also possessed a portion of Ye Chen's consciousness, gazing down upon the vast world on one hand, and occasionally looking up at the vast ocean of Faith Power shimmering with a faint, profound light above.
Regarding this Faith Power, Ye Chen naturally would not use it casually. Even though it could accelerate his cultivation speed many times over and even enhance his realm, as the September Great Sage had said, it was ultimately an external path. True, eternal supremacy lay in one's own strength.
However, Faith Power indeed had infinite wondrous uses. Whenever his divine sense immersed itself in the ocean of Faith Power, his perception would always increase manyfold. His understanding of the Great Dao of heaven and earth became much clearer, and his insights into the fusion of the two world's heavens and earths deepened many times over.
However, he was always researching the true mysteries of this Faith Power. Because in the Mythical Era, there were true Emperors and Sovereigns who deciphered the true mysteries from Faith Power and attained supreme fruits.
He hoped to also research the related mysteries from it.
But three years had passed. As powerful as he was, although he had gained many insights into the mysteries of Faith Power, these were not truly profound comprehensions of the Great Dao. They were more about becoming increasingly proficient and natural in the application of Faith Power.
If he were to leave the Ancient Lan World one day, his strength would inevitably drop significantly. He could not remain as supremely invincible as he was now within this heaven and earth. Moreover, even the use of World Origin force, if it had to traverse vast distances to descend under the operational rules of the Heavenly Dao in the myriad realms, would inevitably be greatly weakened.
He even felt that when necessary, he should take a vast ocean of Faith Power with him. It could become a trump card at critical moments.
Naturally, ordinary spatial artifacts could not carry Faith Power. But he possessed a secret treasure like the World Seed. Although it still hadn't truly given birth to a real great world as before, it already possessed immense space and could store sufficient Faith Power.
Ye Chen spread open both hands. In his right hand, blazing Dao Fire appeared, shimmering with endless Dao runes and symbols—an evolution of this heaven and earth's laws. In his left hand was a sinister, icy Demonic Fire. It appeared scorching yet was intensely cold, completely opposite to the Dao Fire in his right hand.
He suddenly collided the two fires of fundamentally opposite natures together. But there was no terrifying explosion as before. Instead, there was only silent mutual devouring and cancellation. Finally, wisps of grayish mist appeared, unfamiliar to all—it was Primordial Chaos Qi, the most fundamental power in the world.
This was Ye Chen's understanding of the alien race's Heaven and Earth Laws over the past three years. Relying on Faith Power to greatly enhance his perception, and having pioneered the initial part of the Chaos Chapter, granting him a unique mastery over chaos that others lacked, he had gained increasingly profound insights into the alien race's Heaven and Earth Laws. His comprehension of them was now not inferior to that of the alien race's Saint-level existences.
Now, he could even use the alien race's laws to unleash divine abilities, presenting forces of completely opposite nature, yet equally terrifying and powerful.
Similarly, he had also come to understand that the Heaven and Earth Laws of the Myriad Domains and those of the alien race were diametrically opposed, fundamentally different in nature, like Yin and Yang in the Taiji Diagram.
If these two forces of opposite natures collided at a suitable point, they would not produce an explosion. On the contrary, they would undergo a startling transformation, capable of giving rise to true Primordial Chaos Qi, becoming the origin force of all things.
