"In the Primordial battle, the main force was actually the master of this Chaos Dao Pagoda, the Human Sovereign of your Myriad Domains. He bore the brunt of it and played the most crucial role." The Ancient Divine Palace Master sighed lightly, a hint of admiration in his voice even as he mentioned the Ancient Human Sovereign of the Myriad Domains.
Although that battle involved four Supreme Beings jointly attacking the alien race's Supreme Being, in truth, the primary force was the Myriad Domains' Human Sovereign because he was overwhelmingly powerful. It was no wonder the world always claimed the Human Sovereign was just a hair's breadth away from being a true Emperor or Sovereign—there was reason to that.
The Ancient Human Sovereign stood at the forefront, confronting the alien race's Supreme Being, while the other three Supreme Beings assisted. Only then did they ultimately defeat the alien race's Supreme Being.
Ye Chen naturally understood the Human Sovereign's might. He had witnessed it with his own eyes. Back on the River of Time, the Ancient Human Sovereign, wielding the Human Sovereign's Sacred Sword and with the Human Sovereign Pagoda hovering above his head, had even impeded the alien race's Supreme Being. His power was nearly limitless, verging on the realm of Emperors and Sovereigns.
In a sense, the Human Sovereign could already be considered an alternative Emperor or Sovereign.
Even if the other three Supreme Beings had not intervened, the Ancient Human Sovereign alone would have been sufficient to confront the alien race's Supreme Being.
After all, based on what was known, the alien race's Supreme Being had been sealed by the Mythical Emperor and Sovereign for many years, its origin greatly eroded. It was no longer at its peak, reduced to a remnant body.
In the Primordial battle, two died, two were injured, and one emerged unscathed.
The dead were the Primordial Ancient God of the Ancient Divine Continent and the alien race's Supreme Being. The injured were the master of the Demon God Ruins and the supreme powerhouse from the Ancient Emperor Continent. The only one to emerge completely unscathed was the Myriad Domains' Human Sovereign—a testament to his power.
Yet, that was a glorious, peak-level battle that captivated the entire world.
But the cost was severe. Without the Ancient Human Sovereign's participation, the consequences would have been far worse.
It was precisely because of the Ancient Human Sovereign that the alien race's Supreme Being was ultimately contained, creating the opportunity for the other three supreme powerhouses to strike and kill it.
However, one could imagine that the battle in the Primordial Era must have been incredibly arduous. The alien race's Supreme Being was terrifying beyond imagination, and in a life-or-death struggle, it might have unleashed combat power rivaling its prime invincibility in a short burst.
Otherwise, when the Ancient Human Sovereign crossed over to wage war, the price wouldn't have been so heavy—one death and two injuries.
"Although my Ancient Divine Palace's ancestor, the Primordial Ancient God, ultimately perished prematurely due to his injuries and the curse, compared to the fate of the Ancient Immortal Continent, it was still much better." The Ancient Divine Palace Master said, for that event was a great catastrophe for the entire Ancient Emperor Realm—a vast continent, even larger than the Ancient Divine Continent, was destroyed, with billions of lives lost.
Such an event would be a terrifying, catastrophic disaster even for the entire myriad realms.
Ye Chen fell silent for a moment, then asked, "What is the true origin of the master of the Demon God Ruins?"
Guarded by a Great Power-level old knight and being one of the four Supreme Beings who participated in the Primordial battle, his origins piqued Ye Chen's curiosity.
The Ancient Divine Palace Master, however, shook his head. "It's unclear. From the ancient texts left by my Ancient Divine Palace, we know he has existed in the Ancient Emperor Realm since the Primordial Era, his origins shrouded in mystery. But based on fragmentary records left by the few ancestors who initially followed the Primordial Ancient God, it was vaguely mentioned by our ancestor, the Primordial Ancient God, that the master of the Demon God Ruins might very well be a Sovereign from the previous epoch, one who survived the most terrifying Great Destruction of the Mythical Era and later became a Primordial Times Supreme One."
"There's a theory that he is a member of the demon race, a monarch among demons. Because he was severely injured in the Primordial battle, he recuperated on the Ancient Divine Continent, sealing himself for a long time. Using a ancestral vein on the Ancient Divine Continent to nurture his life force, he gave rise to the Demon God Ruins, a Forbidden Zone of Life, and thus survived to this era."
Undoubtedly, such an origin was astonishing. The master of the Demon God Ruins was actually suspected to be a Sovereign from the Mythical Era, one who had survived the most fearsome battle of the Mythical Great Destruction by a stroke of luck.
This was merely speculation, but it had a solid basis, as it was mentioned by the Primordial Ancient God. However, some details were either forgotten or not recorded, so the origins of the Demon God Ruins master remained mysterious.
"What about that Supreme Being from the Ancient Emperor Continent?" Ye Chen pressed further.
Since the master of the Demon God Ruins had survived, it was highly likely that the supreme powerhouse from the Ancient Emperor Continent had also lived to this era, using special methods to seal himself and prolong his life.
Ye Chen was about to head to the Ancient Emperor Continent, so he naturally needed to understand thoroughly. He couldn't afford to be caught off guard upon arrival; that would be absolutely unacceptable.
"That supreme powerhouse—" The Ancient Divine Palace Master's expression turned peculiar. "The Primordial Ancient God also left only fragmentary words, stating that he was a person who returned from death, a dead man from the previous epoch!"
A man from the Mythical Epoch who returned from death!
Ye Chen's sword-like eyebrows jumped. Such words were too shocking, containing extraordinary implications. What exactly did they signify?
Coming from the mouth of the Primordial Ancient God, their accuracy was beyond doubt.
It was just a pity that regarding the supreme powerhouse of the Ancient Emperor Continent, the Primordial Ancient God had only left such brief remarks, making that supreme existence from the Ancient Emperor Continent appear even more mysterious and extraordinary.
Ye Chen felt a trace of worry. He didn't know if, when crossing the Chaotic Sea and arriving on the Ancient Emperor Continent in the future, he would encounter this Supreme Being.
Facing such an existence, even as the master of the Ancient Lan World, he would be utterly helpless.
However, thinking of the Human Sovereign Pagoda, and then of Tian Huang, and even that mysterious divine stone coffin within his body, he felt somewhat more confident.
Having learned the secrets of the world-destroying battle and the Demon God Ruins, Ye Chen immediately followed up: "What about the battle in the Ancient Era? Why did it happen?"
Previously, Ye Chen had vaguely heard that the Ancient Divine Continent and the myriad realms had once engaged in a fierce battle.
"The Ancient Era battle was a confrontation between our Ancient Divine Continent and your myriad realms. Of course, the 'myriad realms' referred to here are not the complete myriad realms, but some of the forces within them." The Ancient Divine Palace Master did not shy away from this point. At this stage, many things could be spoken of openly.
"In the Ancient Era, and even earlier, the Ancient Emperor Realm and the myriad realms could interact with each other. Of course, due to the curse from the alien race's Supreme Being, our Ancient Divine Continent could not travel to the myriad realms, but there were still interactions, and for a time, they were quite frequent."
"However, later, some of those forces from the myriad realms, based on intelligence they gathered, believed that my Ancient Divine Palace might possess the supreme inheritance of the Emperor and Sovereign who opened up the Ancient Emperor Realm. They began to imperceptibly infiltrate the Ancient Divine Continent and even my Ancient Divine Palace, aiming to take control and search for the supreme inheritance. But this infiltration was discovered by my Ancient Divine Palace, and we systematically eliminated all those infiltrating pawns, causing relations between the two sides to continuously deteriorate."
"Later, those forces from the myriad realms even threatened my Ancient Divine Palace to hand over the supreme inheritance and dispatched armies to station themselves on the Ancient Divine Continent, slaughtering many factions and openly beginning to occupy territory. Thus, the root cause for the Ancient Era battle was established."
