Chapter 2164 - 1990: Followers of the Nine Supreme Heavenly Talents

Ye Chen’s heart was shaken intensely, just as life and death are, the ultimate form of life leads to death, the ultimate form of death leads to life; everything can transform into each other like Yin Yang.

If an eternal existence gives birth to the endless Chaotic Sea, this proves that chaos can, in turn, transcend eternity.

Moreover, the words of the Ancient Great Emperor further convinced Ye Chen, for he said thus: "It is said that the Emperor Supreme Saint is the closest person in history to achieving the Great Perfection of Chaos Dao. Why has there been more than one strongest Emperor throughout epochs, yet only he is the closest? Because he obtained the Eternal Crown, perhaps by using the power of the Eternal Crown, he infinitely approached the Great Perfection of Chaos Dao!"

Indeed, the Ancient Great Emperor’s words make sense; Ye Chen even believed this was most likely the truth.

Looking at the Eternal Crown, Ye Chen felt that achieving Great Perfection of Chaos Dao and transcending into eternity had more hope.

"Great Emperor, may I ask how to master the Eternal Crown?" Ye Chen asked. Ever since he obtained the Eternal Crown, Ye Chen had never truly mastered it; the crown was quite special and beyond control.

The Ancient Great Emperor smiled: "Young friend, since it is a supreme treasure left by eternal existence, even as an Emperor, I dare not speak of mastering it. However, I can say, as a Chaos Young Supreme, you must continue on your path. When your Chaos Dao reaches a certain level, perhaps you can master the Eternal Crown, or even understand related eternal information."

Ye Chen nodded; there was no choice but to let things unfold according to fate.

"Only it’s a pity that my existence cannot last too long, ultimately belonging to the past."

He possessed endless melancholy, despite being an Ancient Great Emperor, belonging only to the past, unable to truly achieve Changsheng, ultimately facing demise, feeling both unwilling and helpless.

Finally, he looked at Ye Chen, and gently said: "Young friend, I hope that one day you will achieve success in chaos and transcend eternity!"

Ye Chen solemnly responded: "As the junior, I shall not fail the Great Emperor’s expectations!"

"Good—"

The silhouette of the Ancient Great Emperor slowly dissipated, and the last sound softly echoed around Ye Chen’s ears: "Young friend, remember the name of this Emperor—"

"Emperor Ni Qiang!"

Poof—

At the moment the last word fell, Emperor Ni Qiang completely vanished, yet his imperial name still echoed beside Ye Chen’s ears, deafening.

After a long while, Ye Chen finally regained his composure and stepped out of that illusory space, now seated on the Emperor’s Throne, adorned with the Red Gold Emperor Crown, at this moment a special message surged forth, entering his Divine Soul Miniature.

Buzz—

It was Emperor Ni Qiang’s understanding of chaos, which at this moment was infused into Ye Chen.

Undoubtedly, this was a great help, and it took a full half month for Ye Chen to fully absorb it.

Emperor Ni Qiang’s understanding of Chaos Dao was naturally far inferior to the Emperor Supreme Saint’s, yet the Emperor’s insights were worth centuries for a Great Power, much more so, and even with Ye Chen’s formidable talent, it required a considerable time to digest.

In the Shattered Emperor Realm, or rather, the Reverse Slaughter Emperor Realm, thanks to the Five Great Nine Tribulation God Kings and many Royal Families, strong factions’ reasons and young talents, it is in the process of grand nation-building.

The shattered Emperor City is being slowly reassembled under Will’s control of the Emperor Realm’s power, along with interventions from other strongforces.

The Emperor Realm’s devastated lands also gradually consolidate, with all clans’ strongforces displaying their Divine Skills, quickly restoring, and more towns steadily emerging.

The primordial beings originally living in the Reverse Slaughter Emperor Realm, including Primordial Ancient Beasts, have all submitted under Will, assisting in construction.

With Ye Chen’s help, Will established a contribution list, where based on the level of contribution, they can enter nine different Secret Palaces to receive the respective heritage and secrets.

Of course, entering the highest-level Secret Palaces requires extremely large contribution values.

For each clan’s young talents, more than a hundred young talents have entered, at least on the Human List, and many are Super Talents on the Earthly List, particularly Jiantian, Ancient Luo King, as leading Royal Clan super talents within the Earthly List top hundred.

Ye Chen deliberately recruited them, showcasing unparalleled combat strength, occasionally offering guidance, persuading many young talents to willingly serve Ye Chen and Will.

Some even wished to become Ye Chen’s followers, including Supreme Heavenly Talents.

Unfortunately, regarding followers, Ye Chen preferred quality over quantity.

The enemies he will face are terrifying, often being Emperor’s sons and daughters, Immortal Dao Heirs, and perhaps reaching levels of Nine Tribulation God Kings, Ancient Monarchs, Ancient Great Emperors in the future.

General Supreme Heavenly Talents, Ye Chen would rather not accept, as following him may likely mean walking to their doom.

Surprisingly, among them, Tuoba Mo, Jiantian, Luo Wusheng, chose to follow Ye Chen, going so far as to swear Heavenly Dao vows, never to betray.

Because they knew Ye Chen was too powerful, not to be surpassed in their lifetime, and similarly, other Emperor’s sons and daughters were difficult to surpass, recognizing that contending for "Supreme" Immortal Fate was without hope, willingly following Ye Chen, this invincible Chaos Young Supreme, to witness limitless splendor.

Ye Chen accepted them, as these six Great Royal Families’ supreme talents had extraordinary aptitude, comparable to Mo Haishen and others, although greatly differing in realm, yet having nurturing potential.

At this point, Ye Chen’s followers reached the number of nine, all unparalleled Supreme Heavenly Talents, and all were of High-level Young Supreme Level, with future prospects of becoming the strongest Young Supreme.

Meanwhile, everything in the Reverse Slaughter Emperor Realm moved toward thriving prosperity.

During this period, Ye Chen spent considerable resources cultivating the nine Supreme Heavenly Talents under his command, discussed with Will, sent them into the Ninth-level Secret Palace, each obtaining respective Supreme Powerhouses’ heritage or Secret Palaces, for insight.

Also with numerous cultivation resources provided by Ye Chen, further refining Daoist Soldiers for them, all scavenged from Jiuyan Emperor Clan’s Emperor’s Hidden World.

Particularly the six Great Royal Families’ supreme talents, they were wholly elevated to a new level.

Originally holding dissatisfaction for their young talents’ choice to follow Ye Chen and laying down their pride, the six Great Royal Families harbored no complaints.

As for Jiantian’s Bone Heavenly Demon Clan, it actually wasn’t a true Alien Race, merely a Royal Clan under an Alien Emperor Clan’s command; witnessing this scene, they sighed deeply, completely letting go of their resentment toward Ye Chen, and prepared to detach from the Alien Emperor Clan, submitting to Ye Chen and others.

During this time, Ye Chen also began to comprehend Chaos Dao.

This comprehension lasted for three months.

As Emperor Ni Qiang said, each Ancient Great Emperor’s understanding of Chaos is different, and mutual reference provides great assistance.

Within just three months, Ye Chen’s understanding of chaos deepened, and their mutual integration led to a slight breakthrough for himself, reaching the Seventh Layer Heaven Middle Stage, becoming even stronger.
