The liver is a late bloomer!

"Senior, don't you want to take revenge yourself?"

Xu Chen's voice rang out in the main hall.

"Those old guys, whether they won or lost, have probably already formed a unified force. How can I possibly withstand the power of the Great Dao?"

"So I can only rely on you."

A compass formed from mist appeared before Xu Chen.

"When I left, I left a trace of my origin on the continent of the Myriad Races. If you follow the direction indicated by this compass, you should be able to find the Myriad Races Continent."

"But when you're looking, you'd better be sure you can escape from the hands of an invincible Saint Venerable."

The Lord of the Mist drained his cup, looking like a defeated general who could no longer muster any courage.

"If I am able to advance to the Great Dao in the future, I will avenge you, senior."

"But the way you look now is a bit..." Xu Chen didn't finish his sentence.

"Just heart failure."

"I'm just lamenting that, in the long river of time, I've been used most of the time."

"I feel that I am blessed by fate to have gotten to this point. Every time I am at a critical moment, there is an external force to help me turn the situation around."

"I've figured it out. The Great Dao is nothing but an abstract concept to me. So let my future be like this."

"When you advance to the Great Dao in the future, I just need to be able to stay under your protection."

A maidservant beside him refilled the Lord of the Mist's cup.

The Lord of the Mist picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, with Xu Chen keeping him company.

Xu Chen didn't say anything more and silently drank with the Lord of the Mist.

Inside the secret realm, Xu Xiyue led her team and finally slew the last remnant of the Holy Venerable, obtaining all of the Holy Venerable's treasures.

"I feel that the human race has exhausted all its strength, or rather, it has taken the best of the entire human race, to produce someone like you."

"From my observation of other beings of your human race, I feel that they are all just average, even those who have the talent to advance to the Saint Venerable level in the future."

The Lord of the Mist's divine sense swept over Xu Xiyue and the group of disciples of the Great Stream Sect.

"It's the same for all races; someone always has to shoulder the burden and pave a way forward."

"With the road open, the path for the younger generation of the clan will be easier to traverse."

“Disciples like those in my sect, as long as they have talent, can reach even the Invincible Saint Venerable realm.” Xu Chen couldn’t help but smile as he sensed the joy of Xu Xiyue sharing treasures with the other disciples of the Great Stream Sect.

That's true.

After drinking and catching up with the Lord of the Mist, Xu Chen took his leave.

Inside the secret realm, Xu Xiyue excitedly came to Xu Chen's side upon seeing him, recounting the dangers within and how they had overcome countless hardships to finally obtain the treasures of this secret realm.

Xu Chen maintained a smile, secretly chuckling to himself.

If the Lord of the Mist hadn't held back at the crucial moment, Xu Xiyue and the disciples of the Great Stream Sect would have been wiped out countless times.

"Don't be so reckless next time. The sect has Saint Venerable Realm puppets. Remember to bring them when exploring more dangerous secret realms," Xu Chen said with a smile to his little sister.

Looking at her elder brother's expression, Xu Xiyue gazed suspiciously at the Saintly Annihilation Secret Realm.

"Let's go~"

The group left the secret realm and returned to the Great Stream Sect's main realm.

Daxi Sect, the Sea of ​​Immortals.

A luxurious ship was sailing on the Sea of ​​Immortals. Xu Chen sat at the stern, fishing with a fishing rod, while Xu Daojing was preparing bait beside him.

"Father, when will my eldest brother be able to be resurrected?"

"Your elder brother's matter is a bit complicated, as it involves powerful figures on the Great Dao."

"If we really want to be resurrected, it may take some time."

Xu Chen stared calmly at the sea, relaxing his mind and trying not to think about anything.

"It's a pity that my second brother and I are too weak in cultivation to help our father."

Xu Daojing placed the prepared bait next to Xu Chen.

“This level is beyond your reach. As my son, you can live the life you want.”

Xu Chen tightened his grip on the fishing rod and used his spatial power to shrink and fish up a giant beast from the Star Sea Domain at the Great Venerable Realm level.

His fishing was never about catching fish in this particular sea area, but rather using the principles of space to cast his line through spatial gaps to places where giant beasts of the Star Sea existed.

A spatial force combined with the power of dreams trapped this colossal beast of the Great Venerable level within a seal the size of a Poké Ball.

Xu Chen casually tossed it into a basket beside him. Now, holding it in the basket, there were no fewer than a hundred such seals.

Xu Chen baited the hook with the bait prepared by Xu Daojing and cast the line again.

"Father, may I choose one of them as my mount?" Xu Daojing asked, looking at the sealed sphere in the box.

"A mount? Don't you dislike going out?" Xu Chen glanced at Xu Daojing.

"If you stay in one place for too long, you'll eventually need to change your location."

"Then I'll get you a Saint Venerable Realm Star Sea Beast."

As Xu Chen spoke, he raised a stick, swung it out again, and it disappeared into the unknown void.

"So what kind of mount do you want?"

"Either is fine, speed doesn't matter~"

"I understand." Xu Chen nodded slightly.

A fishing line, imbued with the power of the stars, connects various star-sea regions.

Ten days later, Xu Chen suddenly reeled in his line, and a small turtle with a star-like pattern on its back was caught.

"Here you go~"

After taking the little turtle off, he tossed it to Xu Daojing.

A message flashed through Xu Daojing's mind.

"The Myriad Star Mystic Turtle, at the Saint Venerable Realm, is not strong in combat, but its defense is unparalleled among Saint Venerable Realm cultivators. Its shell contains a star world, comparable in size to the main world of the human race."

"Father, isn't it a waste to use this as my mount?" Xu Chen couldn't help but say, looking at the little turtle in his hand.

"Take it. If you encounter a powerful enemy in the future, you can send it out to fight."

Xu Chen glanced at the Myriad Star Xuan Turtle.

Despite being a Saint Venerable Realm Myriad Star Mystic Turtle, it quickly retracted its head into its shell after sensing Xu Chen's gaze.

A finger gently touched the shell of the Myriad Star Mystic Turtle, and a wisp of its essence flew out from the Myriad Star Mystic Turtle and entered Xu Daojing's brow.

In an instant, Xu Daojing connected with the origin of the Myriad Star Xuan Turtle.

Over the course of fifty thousand years, Xu Chen, having stabilized his mind, traveled to all regions of the human race and met many old friends he hadn't seen for years.

In the Yuanxin Dojo, Xu Chen strode into the dojo that was exclusively his.

"After comprehending the four Great Daos, one will have mastered all forty-nine Great Daos and can advance to the Saint Venerable realm."

"Hopefully nothing else happens during this period."

Xu Chen went into seclusion to continue comprehending the Great Dao. A million years passed quietly. During these million years, without the checks and balances of the Primordial Holy Land and the myriad races, the main lineage of the human race began to develop wildly.

Another Saint Venerable has emerged from the main lineage of the human race, which has lasted for millions of years.

This occurred while the human race was celebrating this holy figure.

A gigantic hand, large enough to cover the entire starry sea territory of the main human race, slammed out from the void.

This main lineage of the human race vanished into nothingness without any resistance.

Xu Chen, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, closed all the spatial gates through the Holy White Space, and finally took the Source Heart Dojo Space Seal with him, returning to the Great Stream Sect territory as quickly as possible.

Nine innate spatial treasures appeared around the entire Great Stream Sect Master World, forming an extraordinary spatial array that directly sealed and shrunk the entire Great Stream Sect Master World into a tiny landscape model, which fell into the hands of the Void God.

Several more space-based innate treasure warships appeared, encompassing several important worlds surrounding the Great Stream Sect.

Just then, the void around the entire Star Sea, which had been moving normally, instantly turned into nothingness, and a giant hand slammed out from the void.

"go!"

In an instant, Xu Chen led the Great Stream Sect Master World and several innate treasure warships away.

At this moment, the entire territory of the Great Stream Sect had been reduced to nothingness, sealed off by all paths.

In an unfamiliar starry sea, Xu Chen escaped from the void, his gaze turning sinister as he looked toward the direction of the Great Stream Sect's starry sea territory.

"The Primordial Holy Land!"

Xu Chen's eyes blazed with boundless fury. In his perception, almost all the human race branches connected by spatial rifts were destroyed, leaving not even a trace.

"Fortunately, I had a backup plan in place, otherwise..." Xu Chen gradually calmed down from his anger, and the Human Race Holy Soul Hall appeared in his hand.

Meanwhile, within the Holy Soul Hall of the Human Race, the essence left behind by countless fallen humans began to take form within the Holy Soul Hall world.

Xu Chen waved his hand gently, and a phantom image of a human emperor appeared in front of him.

"Just as you predicted, except the retaliation is far more ferocious than you anticipated."

"In an instant, all the efforts of the human race over the long river of time have been destroyed," the Human Emperor said with a sigh.

"Fortunately, you allowed the Great Dao of Humanity to merge into the Dream Dao Realm back then, otherwise..."

Xu Chen listened silently to the Emperor's words, a hint of guilt on his face.

"Don't be discouraged. With more time, the human race will rise again," the Human Emperor comforted Xu Chen, looking at his expression.

"I never expected that those three old geezers from the Primordial Holy Land would become powerful figures on the Great Dao."

"Now we need to find a safe place to revive the strongest members of our human race," Xu Chen said to the Human Emperor.

"No rush. The souls and true spirits of all human beings are in this Holy Soul World. There is no need to rush their resurrection."

"We'll talk about it after you become strong."

"The Holy Soul World is vast, and you have built it exceptionally perfectly with your power of the Dream Dao. Before you become a powerful being above the Great Dao, let's stay in the Holy Soul Palace for now. It will give me and many other powerful humans a chance to rest," the Human Emperor said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this won't do!"

“I came out of the Great Stream Sect Master Realm, and with the power of those nine spatial innate treasures, they can’t seal me for long.”

"So I'm thinking of finding a safe place to set up the Great Stream Sect Master Realm, and then slowly revive the human race's strongmen, and finally revive the human race's common people," Xu Chen planned.

"That works too. It seems that the strong of the human race are destined for hard work." The Human Emperor transformed into a beam of light and flew into the Human Race's Holy Soul Hall.

Upon seeing the Human Emperor return to the Human Race's Holy Soul Hall, Xu Chen used his own karma to communicate with an old friend he hadn't contacted in a long time.

Inside a temple that seemed to be formed from natural vegetation, Xu Chen saw the leisurely Qianming as soon as he arrived.

"What a rare guest!"

"My destiny, governed by cause and effect, suddenly stirred; I knew you were coming~"

Qianming, who had been enthusiastic, lost her smile upon seeing Xu Chen's expression.

"What's wrong? Is there anything I can help with?" Qianming asked earnestly.

“We’ve talked about this before; the strongest beings on the Great Dao each have their own territories,” Xu Chen said first.

"Yes~"

"My clan's main lineage and two major branch lineages were destroyed by powerful beings on the Great Dao. Fortunately, I had a backup plan in place, storing the original true spirits of all humankind, making resurrection easy."

"The only thing we're lacking now is a safe place," Xu Chen said, looking at Qianming.

Although the human branch connected through the spatial gate was not destroyed, Xu Chen still felt unsafe.

“If you humans were to go there carrying the karma from the Great Dao, this place would be really hard to find.” Qianming quickly got into a meditative state.

"That proves it exists. Tell me about it, and you'll get your share of the benefits," Xu Chen said.

"Just remember the good things about me, whether they're good or bad."

Qianming formed hand seals, and a long, illusory river of time appeared.

Following this long river of time, Qianming seemed to be searching for something within it, with various scenes of light and shadow flashing by at the speed of light.

"Are you searching for your memories?" Xu Chen couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, my memories are too long to be contained in my current Saintly Venerable realm, so I can only seal them in my own River of Time and slowly retrieve them when needed."

On the long river of time, the rapidly flashing light and shadow suddenly solidified, and an aura of cause and effect from the Great Dao spread out.

"When I was chatting with that powerful figure on the Great Dao, we happened to mention a place."

“That place is controlled by powerful figures on the Great Dao. Whether it is the Holy Race or an ordinary race, they all need to pay taxes if they want to develop and live there.”

"After paying taxes, you will receive protection. Even if other powerful figures from the Great Dao come to your door, those powerful figures from the Great Dao can drive them away."

"But I only know that this place exists. To pinpoint the exact coordinates, I need to ask that powerful figure on the Great Dao." Qianming stroked his chin, a troubled expression on his face.

"Just tell me what conditions you need."

"A problem needs a treasure that he finds interesting. It doesn't have to be of high quality, but it must be something that he finds interesting."

"When I met that powerful figure on the Great Dao, he was in a good mood, so we were able to chat for a few minutes."

"A treasure that would intrigue even the most powerful beings on the Great Dao." Xu Chen frowned slightly.

"Here, take this."

The jade slip floated in front of Xu Chen.

"This area marks the approximate territory controlled by that powerful figure on the Great Dao. You can go and take a look there first. That powerful figure on the Great Dao intervenes quite a bit in the matters concerning the forces within the Star Sea region he controls."

"Take a stroll among those holy clan forces; you might get some inspiration," Qianming suggested.

Xu Chen scanned the jade slip with his divine sense and was immediately overwhelmed by the densely packed boundary coordinates.

"I've told you all the methods I know."

"Speaking of which, since you've had this experience, we're kind of in the same boat."

Qianming looked at Xu Chen with an expression that said, "I understand you."

"Thanks, I'll remember this favor."

Xu Chen glanced at Qian Ming, put away the jade slip, and his figure disappeared.

Seeing Xu Chen leave, Qianming smiled and brewed himself another cup of tea.

"This kid has finally encountered some setbacks." (End of Chapter)
