After everything was done, Cang Jitian was the first to bid farewell.
"Brother Ye Chen, though I was defeated in today's battle, it was an honor. Thank you for the enlightenment. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"
Boom—
Cang Jitian directly tore through the void and left, his entire figure vanishing.
Ye Chen knew that Cang Jitian was most likely returning to fully comprehend the Tenth Heaven, to complete the Supreme Law as soon as possible and achieve the Tenth Heaven.
The Sun God, Yuan Yao Divine King, Feng Wu, the Primordial Demon God, and the other True Kings no longer lingered. They bid farewell one after another and tore through the void to depart.
Finally, only Ye Chen and Ye Gucheng remained in the starry sky.
Ye Chen looked at Ye Gucheng and said, "Brother Gucheng, let's go this way."
Ye Gucheng followed Ye Chen away from the area, arriving at a desolate star. As soon as they stopped, Ye Chen directly waved his sleeve, sealing the entire void and cutting off all divine sense detection. He then asked straightforwardly, "May I ask, Brother Gucheng, what is the relationship between the Ye Family of the Myriad Domains and the Ye Family behind the Ninefold Emperor's Pass?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Gucheng was as if struck by lightning. He looked at Ye Chen in shock, clearly not expecting Ye Chen to bring up such matters right from the start.
Moreover, it was obvious that such matters were not something ordinary people were qualified to know.
Ye Gucheng's gaze grew intense as he stared directly at Ye Chen opposite him and said in a deep voice, "You know about the Ninefold Emperor's Pass?"
"I've occasionally learned about related information from some sources," Ye Chen said lightly. "It is said to be the Ninefold Emperor's Pass established by the Emperors of the Mythical Epoch, and behind the Ninefold Emperor's Pass live some invincible races, among which is a mysterious Ye Family. I just don't know if this Ye Family is that Ye Family?"
When he spoke the last sentence, Ye Chen stared directly at Ye Gucheng without blinking, his gaze piercing.
This concerned his parents and other clansmen in this life, so he had to ask.
After a moment of silence, Ye Gucheng finally nodded and said, "That's right. The Ye Family behind the Ninefold Emperor's Pass is my Ye Family."
Although he had already suspected as much, upon hearing it now, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel as if struck by lightning again. He looked at Ye Gucheng with some astonishment.
If that was the case, did it not mean that the small Ye Family living in an ordinary small city on the Tian Du Continent was actually one of the branches of the Ye Family of Emperors and Sovereigns from the Myriad Domains?
Who could have imagined that the strongest person born within a thousand years in that small Ye Family was merely a Demigod, not even reaching Divine Transformation, yet its true origins could be traced back to the Ye Family of Emperors and Sovereigns that overlooked the myriad realms.
That was the most powerful force in the myriad realms, far surpassing ordinary immortal forces, even stronger than supreme Sacred Lands, the strongest clan that even the Human Sovereign Palace, the number one force, deeply feared.
After all, it was the invincible family that had once produced the strongest Emperors and Sovereigns.
Ye Chen let out a soft sigh. Even he, at this moment, felt an indescribable sensation, perhaps shocked by the fact that he originated from such a powerful family.
However, he was no ordinary person after all, but a Supreme Heaven's Pride with sufficiently strong mental fortitude. He soon calmed down and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Ye Gucheng gave Ye Chen a strange look, shook his head, and politely refused, "These matters already involve family secrets. Under normal circumstances, they cannot be disclosed to outsiders. My apologies."
Ye Chen, however, did not give up. His eyes burning, he suddenly said, "Brother Gucheng, what if I told you that I am actually a member of the Ye Family as well? Would you believe me?"
Without a doubt, these words were no different from a bolt from the blue. Even with Ye Gucheng's mental state, upon hearing this, he couldn't help but stare dumbfounded at Ye Chen before him, appearing utterly stunned and greatly surprised.
"You... what did you say?"
Ye Chen said, "I said, I am actually a member of the Ye Family as well."
Dumbfounded was the only word for it, because this was too unbelievable. Ye Gucheng stared blankly at Ye Chen for a long time before immediately shaking his head and saying, "Impossible. Brother Qian Yue, your surname is Qian, mine is Ye. How could that be?"
Ye Chen said, "But in this life, my surname is Ye."
Ye Gucheng was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly. He had always only remembered Ye Chen's previous life's name, Qian Yue, because it was too renowned, forgetting that his name in this life was actually Ye Chen.
But he still shook his head and said, "Even so, it's still unlikely. I heard you originated from the Tian Du Continent, which is too far away. I don't recall any branch of the Ye Family being left behind on the Tian Du Continent."
"Most importantly, once members of the same clan of Emperors and Sovereigns meet, there is always a resonance from their bloodlines. But between you and me, there is none. This indicates it's unlikely."
This had always been the evidence for members of the Emperors and Sovereigns' clan to recognize each other, originating from the Emperor and Sovereign bloodlines deep within their veins. No matter how faint, it far surpassed ordinary bloodlines, just like the True Dragon bloodline. As long as they are of the same clan, no matter how weak the bloodline, it will produce a certain resonance.
Not to mention him and Ye Chen. Ye Gucheng, needless to say, was a True King, an ancient sealed True King Heaven's Pride. His bloodline power was so strong it could almost rival the third generation.
Ye Chen was also that powerful, even possessing strength comparable to the offspring of Supremes. No matter what, his bloodline power wouldn't be weak. Yet, from the time they met until now, there hadn't been the slightest resonance. It was clear they couldn't be from the same clan.
But Ye Chen suddenly laughed, laughed very loudly, making Ye Gucheng feel a bit strange. "What's so funny?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Brother Gucheng, it's not that the bloodlines between you and me don't resonate. It's that by my generation, I'm afraid the Emperor and Sovereign bloodline has become so diluted, who knows to what extent. You should know that in the Ye Family on my Tian Du Continent, the strongest person born within a thousand years was merely a Demigod. If there were a sufficiently powerful bloodline force, even if the environment of the Tian Du Continent was far inferior to the myriad realms, it wouldn't have been just a Demigod."
"And you should also know one more thing: the Battle Sacred Body is the most domineering physique. Although the Emperor and Sovereign bloodline is very powerful, diluted to the extent of my generation, it is negligible, far incomparable, and would be directly suppressed. How could there be any resonance?"
"And to put it bluntly here, the strength of my Ye Chen's current Saint Body bloodline is definitely not inferior to the pure Emperor and Sovereign bloodline of the offspring of Supremes, and might even be stronger."
As he spoke, his eyes seemed to flash with lightning, radiating the most dazzling brilliance.
This was not something he said casually. His Battle Sacred Body bloodline was simply too powerful, having fused too many things within it—Nine Tribulations Gold, Chaos Blood, myriad Dao marks, and more—surpassing everything. Even the bloodline intensity of the offspring of Supremes might not necessarily compare to Ye Chen.
Moreover, Battle Sacred Blood had always been incomparably domineering, inheriting the forceful and overbearing nature of the Sacred Ancestor. Therefore, if other bloodlines were not strong enough, they would only be suppressed.
