This was an insight Ye Chen had gained over the past three years regarding the alien race's Heaven and Earth Laws and those of the Myriad Domains. He had even entertained a startling notion about the greater world where the alien race resided.
He had always harbored doubts about the primary reason behind the alien race's destruction of the Mythical Era. It didn't seem like a simple invasion, but rather as if they harbored some ulterior, hidden secret.
This secret was concealed within the universe where the myriad realms existed.
However, during the great cataclysm of the Mythical Era, the alien race had invaded this cosmic territory, but ultimately retreated almost entirely for some reason.
All these circumstances led him to suspect an inextricable connection with his imagined concept of the Myriad Domains' heaven and earth and the alien race's heaven and earth being opposite poles of Yin and Yang.
During this period, the other half of the alien Great Power's origin left behind in the Ancient Lan World by the September Great Power had also fallen into Ye Chen's hands. He combined it completely with the alien Great Power's origin he already possessed. Although some fragments had been obtained by others during the initial struggle, over ninety percent was now under his control.
Throughout the three years, he frequently studied the power of the alien Great Power's origin and the alien race's Heaven and Earth Laws, deepening his comprehension. During this time, his understanding of Chaos had quietly grown significantly, making him appear increasingly profound and unfathomable.
Although, relying on Faith Power and even World Origin power, Ye Chen could completely refine the alien Great Power's origin, obtain supreme power, and potentially even surpass a Heavenly King, he did not do so. He hadn't refined even a speck of it.
Because he harbored a grand ambition: he hoped to one day obtain the origin power of another ancient Great Power from the Myriad Domains and achieve the status of a Chaos Great Sage!
This was his hypothesis.
Since the Heaven and Earth Laws of the Myriad Domains and the alien race were opposite Yin-Yang poles that could collide to generate Primordial Chaos Qi, then the power derived from combining the origins of two Great Powers might be even more terrifying—true Chaos Power. Once mastered, he might become an unprecedented Chaos Great Sage, surpassing all other Great Powers, and perhaps even capable of confronting a Monarch.
This was his immense ambition: to merge the origins of a Great Power from the Myriad Domains and one from the alien race, create a Chaos Origin, devour and refine it, attain the Chaos Fruit Position, and pioneer the subsequent chapters of the Chaos Volume.
However, obtaining the origin of an ancient Great Power was exceedingly difficult. Managing to acquire the alien Great Power's origin was pure luck—a stroke of fortune unlikely to be repeated.
Naturally, the myriad realms were vast; it wasn't impossible. Moreover, he was still very young with plenty of time; he wasn't in a hurry about this.
On this day, the incarnation of the Supreme Divine Altar completely dissipated into the world, returning to its most fundamental place. Along with it, a strand of Ye Chen's consciousness submerged into the origin of the Ancient Lan World, where it began to continue comprehending the mysteries gained from the fusion of the World Heaven and Earth.
Also on this day, Ye Chen's true self returned from the endless void and appeared in the main hall of Tian Du City on the Tian Du Continent. This was the divine hall constructed by the Saints of the former All Heavens Continent, grand and majestic. Inside were six former leaders of the Slaughter Heavens Alliance.
Yes, six. After becoming the World Lord, Ye Chen had mastered everything within the two World Heavens and Earths and had also found the Great Sage Hong Tian, who had long been presumed fallen.
In the past, after sending Ye Chen into the King's Ancient Path and damaging the King's Ancient Gate, Great Sage Hong Tian had engaged in battle with the Saints of the myriad realms before vanishing. He had inadvertently stumbled into a formation left behind by the September Great Power, becoming lost within it and unable to escape.
It was only later, after Ye Chen became the World Lord, that he rescued Great Sage Hong Tian.
Ye Chen's sudden appearance startled the six Saints.
"Young Friend Ye Chen, may we ask the purpose of your visit..."
The Tian Du Mansion Master spoke. He, the Martial God Hall Master, and other Tian Du Saints, though they had once shown kindness to Ye Chen, hadn't interacted with him extensively. Moreover, now that Ye Chen had become the supreme World Lord, their gazes toward him unconsciously carried a trace of reverence. Their tones couldn't fully relax, tinged with a formality that was unavoidable.
Ye Chen didn't deliberately address this.
Only Great Sage Hong Tian had spent enough time with Ye Chen to be relatively familiar. However, even he was still astonished by Ye Chen's achievements—becoming the World Lord, forcing even Heavenly Kings to retreat. It was hard to conceal this surprise in the short term, especially considering that just over a decade ago, Ye Chen had needed his protection.
Ye Chen smiled faintly. "This time, I've come to bid farewell to you seniors. I need to leave the Ancient Lan World."
"So soon!"
Everyone was taken aback. Great Sage Hong Tian added, "Ye Chen, you've only stayed for three years. Why not remain a while longer?"
Ye Chen shook his head in polite refusal. "Three years is already quite long. Moreover, I have an incarnation of my origin here, constantly monitoring the situation. With the three Heavenly Kings of the Ancient Lan World guarding it, there shouldn't be any major issues."
Great Sage Hong Tian and the others didn't try to stop him further. Ye Chen had also invited them to leave the Tian Du Continent and travel the more vast and magnificent world of the myriad realms, but they had all politely declined.
The events of fifteen years ago remained unforgettable; they still harbored a deep resentment toward the myriad realms. Furthermore, twelve years of fleeing had instilled in them a profound desire for a stable, peaceful life. They were unwilling to leave, choosing instead to remain on the Tian Du Continent to guard and support its stability and peace.
However, the Saints all hoped Ye Chen would take a group of young seeds from the Tian Du Continent into the myriad realms. That was the truly boundless, magnificent stage, the most suitable place for the younger generation.
Ye Chen naturally accepted this duty without hesitation. He had already contacted the Heavenly Gate and arranged for this batch of young seeds to be sent there for cultivation.
It was somewhat regrettable, however, that the ancient talents like Yang Wushuang and Li Taixu, as well as young prodigies like Crown Prince Xia Yang of the Xia Feng Kingdom—all of whom had left the King's Ancient Path to enter the myriad realms—had been transported to unknown locations over the years. Even the Heavenly Gate's formidable intelligence network had yet to obtain any crucial information about them.
This was a source of regret.
Nevertheless, Ye Chen always believed these individuals wouldn't perish so easily.
Before departing, Ye Chen also selected a considerable number of young prodigies from within the Ancient Lan World, including both humans and the Sin Race.
Together with the younger generation talents from the Tian Du Continent, led by the Thirteenth Prince, the group numbered over a thousand. Under Ye Chen's leadership, they left the Ancient Lan World, boarding a thousand-zhang divine ship of the Heavenly Gate, bound for the Heavenly Gate.
