The liver is a late bloomer!

"Who are you?" The former little beggar, now a golden immortal, asked Xu Chen.

"What's your name? I can't call you a little beggar."

When Xu Chen possessed the body, the little beggar didn't have his own name. At that time, the disciples in the Taoist sect called him "little beggar" instead of "the person in question."

Hearing the words "little beggar" triggered a long-forgotten memory for the Golden Immortal.

"My name is Zhan Yi. Who exactly are you?" Zhan Yi stared intently at Xu Chen, his face full of doubt, because he saw a sense of extreme familiarity in Xu Chen's eyes.

"I once had a fortuitous opportunity to possess your body when you joined the Taoist sect as a little beggar, and I completely absorbed the insights of the Six Forms of the Sacred Ape from you."

"Now I have come to repay this debt of cause and effect." Xu Chen slowly explained his purpose for coming, having never intended to hide it from the moment he arrived.

"To repay this debt of karma." Zhan Yi recalled the time when he joined the Daoist sect.

"No need for a reward, I just want to know your name and where you come from."

“My name is Xu Chen. As for where I come from, it is very far from here. You could never reach it even if you spent your whole life,” Xu Chen said.

"Are you human?" A light shone in Zhan Yi's eyes, a light called hope.

"Yes, as a legitimate person."

"Then can you solve the Demon Abyss?" Zhan Yi seemed to have grasped at the last straw, and even with his current Golden Immortal realm, he began to get nervous.

"If I resolve the Demon Abyss, I will have settled this karmic debt." Xu Chen smiled slightly.

This Demon Abyss looks powerful, but it can't even nurture a single Saint Venerable-level demon spirit, so it can't be that powerful.

"Perhaps I'm being delusional. Although crushing me is as easy as crushing an ant, I can still sense that you are also at the Golden Immortal Realm. How much stronger can you be?" Zhan Yi sighed and said.

"Don't give up hope. I still want to repay this debt of karma. If you agree, I'll find a way to cleanse the Demon Abyss," Xu Chen said leisurely.

"How do we clean it?" Zhan Yi asked Xu Chen with a somewhat dim gaze.

"Although I am a Golden Immortal, I am also the pride of my human race. Even the Human Emperor said that I am the hope of the future."

"Just because I can't clean it doesn't mean others can't," Xu Chen said with a smile.

"Alright, as long as we can cleanse the Demon Abyss, this karmic debt will be settled." Zhan Yi nodded solemnly, but deep down he didn't hold out much hope.

"Then it's settled, but I need to make this clear beforehand."

“I really need to call over my clan’s elders. Your human territory must submit to my human race. Otherwise, my clan’s Holy Venerable has no reason to come here in person.”

Xu Chen picked up a slice of crystal-clear meat and put it in his mouth, savoring the unique flavor of the dish.

"Holy Venerable One! You mean a Saint Venerable Realm expert?!"

Zhan Yi immediately stood up in shock, and the aura of death that had been emanating from his body instantly vanished.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have said I was confident." Xu Chen looked into the distance, at the border of this human territory, where the Demon Abyss was launching another attack.

"If we submit, what price will we have to pay? After we submit, will our human race become your slaves?" Zhan Yi asked again, his eyes showing a mixture of expectation and fear.

"You and I, the human race, share the same bloodline. Moreover, a trace of the human race's Great Dao fortune and authority within me has already merged into the human race's Great Dao fortune of this place."

"After you submit to our human race, you will only receive our support, making you stronger and stronger in this star sea," Xu Chen said.

“In that case, I need to discuss this with my clan’s Grand Elder,” Zhan Yi said after thinking for a moment.

"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you in this world." Xu Chen waved his hand.

Zhan Yi instantly transformed into a ray of light and vanished.

Xu Chen, on the other hand, continued to savor the delicacies of this world.

Three days later, a spatial force suddenly locked onto Xu Chen and transferred him to another space.

An elderly man dressed in black with white hair appeared before Xu Chen.

"I was wondering why, because the Great Dao of Humanity has gained a new trace of the Great Dao of Humanity."

"Once the Demon Abyss is dealt with, I, on behalf of the Daoist sect and the other two forces, will submit to your human race," the old man in black said slowly, looking at Xu Chen.

After saying this, the old man in black felt incredibly relieved. He felt he could finally let go of the pressure he had carried for hundreds of thousands of years.

"In that case, senior, please wait for me to return and summon the strongest members of my clan."

Xu Chen took a step forward, and a teleportation portal appeared in front of him, instantly traversing endless distances to appear inside the floating island cave in the Great Stream Sect Master's world.

Upon returning, Xu Chen immediately sought out the Azure Bamboo Venerable.

"You mean you accidentally opened a spatial portal, and behind that portal is a branch of the human race facing extinction?"

"Now all we need is for a Saint Venerable from our clan to go there and save the human race in that star sea?" Grand Venerable Qingzhu gave him a look that said, "You're kidding me."

"That's what I mean. By chance, I incurred a karmic debt in that other world, which I must repay."

"Besides, I think it would be good if the human race could have a few more Grand Venerable experts in the future, so it's worth it for our race's Holy Venerable to make a trip," Xu Chen said with a smile.

“In that case, I will go to see the Human Emperor.” Grand Venerable Qingzhu said, closing his eyes.

In an instant, the world changed. Xu Chen looked at the magnificent Emperor's Palace before him and felt a sense of awe at the Holy Venerable's power.

He was completely unaware of the change in space.

A transparent phantom of the human emperor appeared on the main seat of the hall.

"Little guy, it's been a long time." The Human Emperor greeted Xu Chen like an elder.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Xu Chen bowed respectfully, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"Qingzhu has already told me about it. If I can teleport there and back at any time, I happen to be free right now."

"Can we go now?" the Emperor asked.

"Yes, you can be teleported there anytime!" Xu Chen said excitedly. He had thought it would be Xuan Ding Saint Venerable, but he didn't expect the Human Emperor to personally come forward.

The virtual image of the Human Emperor began to solidify, and then the Human Emperor rose from his throne and stepped out, transforming into a middle-aged, refined man.

"Let's go, where is the teleportation array?" The Human Emperor asked as he approached Xu Chen.

"I myself am a teleportation array."

Xu Chen smiled and waved his hand, and a teleportation portal spanning endless distances appeared. From the other side of the portal, the Human Emperor felt a familiar yet unfamiliar aura.

"It's actually the Great Dao of Humanity! But it's about to dissipate."

"Let's go take a look."

"Yes, sir." Xu Chen led the Human Emperor into the teleportation portal.

In the world of the Great Venerable of the Daoist Sect, the moment the Human Emperor appeared in this world, all the human worlds within this territory were enveloped in radiant light.

Furthermore, all the powerful beings of the Great Luo and Great Venerable realms in this world sensed the presence of the Human Emperor.

The Great Venerable who guarded the Daoist sect appeared before the Human Emperor immediately, staring blankly at him.

Subsequently, several other human race Grand Venerables also appeared before the Human Emperor.

Sensing the humanistic aura emanating from the Human Emperor, the Grand Venerables actually showed aggrieved expressions on their faces.

It was as if a child who had been lost had finally found his parents.

At this moment, the human race's great fortune, which had been like a candle flickering in the wind, suddenly burst into new life and began to recover and grow at an alarming speed.

"Are you here to save us?" the Daoist Grand Master asked cautiously. The Human Emperor, upon arriving in this world, was struck by a tremendous surprise. Both the remaining human race's Great Dao fortune and the Demon Abyss that devoured this fortune were great opportunities for humanity.

“You have suffered all these years.”

The Emperor's gentle voice rang out, instantly causing all the grievances in the hearts of those Great Venerables to erupt, turning into tears that flowed down their faces.

"You can call me the Human Emperor."

"Greetings, Human Emperor!" Several Grand Venerables immediately knelt down and bowed, like the most devout believers.

"We are all of the same human lineage. I will end this great calamity of the Demon Abyss for you."

The Emperor looked at Xu Chen.

"How long can the portal last?"

"As long as you want it to last."

Xu Chen waved his hand, releasing the teleportation portal from before once again.

“Since it can be maintained, I will summon the incarnation of the Great Dao of Humanity. He will surely like the good things here.”

A woman enveloped in golden light walked out of the portal, and in an instant, a golden light covered all the worlds in this human territory.

At this moment, the Demon Abyss, which was originally eroding the last trace of human destiny in this human territory, suddenly seemed to have discovered its natural enemy and retreated at an extremely fast pace.

The endless demonic spirits in the void fled madly in the opposite direction from the human territory.

The woman, enveloped in golden light, exuded joy upon sensing the Demon Abyss.

In an instant, the golden light that enveloped the human territory began to expand rapidly outward, at a speed a hundred times faster than the speed at which the Demon Abyss fled.

The golden light quickly caught up with Mo Yuan, who was gradually consumed by the flames, like a piece of burning willow catkin.

Wherever the golden light shines, the abyss of demons is swallowed up, and the demonic spirits in the void lose their source of power and dissipate.

As the golden light spread out, it enveloped the entire territory that was once the human race's domain.

Unable to escape, the Demonic Abyss's will directly entered the River of Myriad Paths, attempting to use it as a means of escape.

However, in the vast river of time, the area where the Demon Abyss's will resided had long been enveloped by golden light.

The abyss continues to be devoured.

After the last trace of Demon Abyss's will was swallowed by the golden light, Demon Abyss completely dissipated in this world.

At this moment, the avatar of the Great Dao of Humanity in the Great Dao World couldn't help but let out a burp, and the golden light emanating from its body became even stronger.

Under the golden light, the hidden injuries to the bodies, minds, and souls of everyone began to slowly heal.

"It's resolved. Now I need to go back and process this." The woman, enveloped in golden light, said as she prepared to leave through the portal.

"After you've digested it, don't forget to come back and return the human race's Great Dao fortune that the Demon Abyss devoured to this place," the Human Emperor said.

"understood."

The woman of holy light walked into the portal and disappeared.

At this moment, Xu Chen felt a force of cause and effect dissipate, and he could freely travel between the two spaces through the Holy White Space.

"One of you will stay behind to guard the area, while the rest of you will come with me back to the human race. There are some things I need you to bring back," the Human Emperor said, looking at the several Great Venerables who were still in shock.

"As ordered!"

Watching the Human Emperor lead those Grand Venerables into the teleportation portal, Xu Chen suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip.

"I didn't find what I was looking for, but I ended up being a savior. I wonder how the Human Emperor will reward me when I get back. Will he give me another sliver of the Great Dao's fortune and authority?"

"We'll take a look around this human branch territory in a bit."

Xu Chen locked his gaze on Zhan Yi with a thought.

Zhan Yi was still somewhat dazed at this moment. The calamity that he thought would inevitably lead to the destruction of the human race had vanished in an instant.

"Your karma has been resolved." Xu Chen's voice rang out behind Zhan Yi.

Zhan Yi turned around and saw Xu Chen, then bowed respectfully to Xu Chen.

"Alright, I called you here to ask you some questions."

"In this star sea region, are there any methods to accelerate the cultivation of the Golden Immortal realm? I won't even mention elixirs and the origin of the Great Dao," Xu Chen asked.

"Not counting these methods that allow Golden Immortals to cultivate quickly?" Zhan Yi immediately pondered, searching through his memories.

"There is one, but it's very far from here."

“I happen to have his records here.”

As Zhan Yi spoke, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Xu Chen.

After receiving the jade slip, he entered it with his divine sense.

"The Primordial Divine Tree! The Primordial Great Dao Fruit, this is interesting." Xu Chen looked at the contents of the jade slip with delight.

"This is a record of one of our former Great Venerables. He was able to advance to the Great Venerable level because he obtained the Primordial Dao Fruit, but it is extremely difficult to enter this place," Zhan Yi said.

"This position is enough."

"Thank you." Xu Chen patted Zhan Yi on the shoulder, and then, at Zhan Yi's suggestion, fixed the spatial gate connecting the two humans outside the Daoist Grandmaster World.

After Xu Chen finished doing all this, he couldn't wait to fly towards the location of the Primordial Divine Tree.

"After the darkest hour comes the dawn."

On the innate spiritual treasure ship, Xu Chen looked at the positions of the surrounding stars, but none of them were familiar to him.

"As the old saying goes, it's good to go out and about more often. If you had come earlier, you might have already advanced to the Great Luo Realm."

The speed of the Thousand Sky Ship increased rapidly under Xu Chen's propulsion, and Xu Chen also observed the surrounding star sea.

"Relatively speaking, the stellar energy in this star sea area is quite abundant, but it can only support the development of that small group of humans. At its peak, it may produce a Saint Venerable expert."

"For the entire human race, this is a small way out if they can't survive in the main world."

"It's a pity that so many human worlds were destroyed by the Abyss of Demons."

"It will likely take a considerable price to restore the area to its former glory in the future."

According to the location given by Zhan Yi, even traveling at full speed would take a thousand years.

However, Xu Chen had one advantage in this star field: no matter how far away he was, he could return to the human territory there through the Holy White Space.

So when Xu Chen got bored during the voyage, he switched his consciousness back to his main body and let his clone drive the Thousand Sky Ship to travel.

The Imperial Palace of the Nine Emperors City.

The Emperor looked at Xu Chen with a smile on his face.

"The human race's great destiny has devoured the will of the demonic abyss, greatly increasing its strength."

"You've done something truly extraordinary, what kind of reward do you want?"

"That innate treasure in the human race's treasury... wait, I still choose the human race's Great Dao Destiny Authority." (End of Chapter)
