The liver is a late bloomer!

In the Supreme Temple, Xu Chen listened attentively to the development of the human race over the past 10 billion years.

"Holy Lord, our human race has now conquered 136 star fields, 131 of which are star fields where the myriad paths are not yet fully developed. The remaining five are guarded by powerful beings above the Great Dao realm. Under the leadership of the two God Lords, Supreme Saint and Sovereign, we have suppressed them and are currently imprisoning them in the Golden Great Dao mine."

"What do you plan to do with these five experts who have reached the Great Dao of Intent?" Xu Chen, sitting in the main seat, asked curiously.

"We await the Holy Lord's judgment," Zhang Zhisheng said respectfully.

"In that case, we will refine these five powerful figures above the Great Dao into puppets to serve our human race for eternity. To make them willing, we will take their subordinate races as vassals and let them help manage the star field."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, his gaze swept across the entire scene. All the human powerhouses present were exposed to his divine sense.

"As you continue to develop, if you need new star system coordinates, just let me know. Otherwise, don't contact me unless absolutely necessary." Xu Chen felt that the current human race allowed him to completely let go of his responsibilities.

"I plan to travel to various star regions to seek out that special Great Dao in order to advance to the next level."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he prepared to leave and let the many powerful figures depart.

"Holy Lord, the human race cannot live without you. If all else fails, please give us a chance to see you." The Ninth Human Emperor stepped forward. From Xu Chen's words, he sensed that this human holy lord was about to flee into chaos.

"Don't worry, I won't go too far. If I come across anything that is beneficial to the human race, I will bring it back."

Xu Chen smiled slightly at the many powerful figures on the Great Dao in the Supreme Temple, and then his figure disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Inside a cave filled with primordial spiritual energy, hundreds of millions of humans with the bloodline of the Xu family gathered.

All humans with Xu family blood reverently bowed in the direction where Xu Chen was.

"I never imagined that after so many years, our Xu family would have developed to such an extent."

Xu Chen swept his divine sense across the Xu family and found that there were tens of millions of invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts alone. All the other Xu family members who had reached adulthood had cultivation levels above the Golden Immortal Realm.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

Inside the cave, a tremendous sound shook the void, and the convergence of cause and effect caused the Great Dao and fortune of the human race to tremble.

"Everyone, get up!"

Xu Chen's kind voice reached the ears of the Xu family members, and then transformed into a seed of the Great Dao, remaining in their dantian and emitting a special Dao essence.

"How is it? The Xu family has developed quite well during your years of seclusion, hasn't it? The 10 billion you see is only a part of it; the rest is in other star regions."

"They all want to come and pay their respects to you, the patriarch of the Xu family." Xu Qiangjia, who was standing to the side, never lost his smile.

"Then let them come. It's a good opportunity to reward the younger generation I haven't seen in years."

With Xu Chen's permission, members of the Xu family from other star systems returned and gathered in the cave.

The billions of people have multiplied into hundreds of billions, and every member of the Xu family would be an outstanding figure in any other part of the human race.

Xu Chen connected his own karma and sensed that all members of the Xu family had gathered in the cave.

Xu Chen waved his hand gently, and countless spatial seals containing various spiritual treasures and innate treasures transformed into shooting stars, flying out of the void and falling into the hands of each member of the Xu family.

Each spatial seal contains the inheritance and resources for cultivating from mortal spiritual energy all the way to the invincible saintly realm. Within it, there is also the Dao essence of the special Dao that Xu Chen comprehended.

In the square, all the Xu family members felt the contents of the spatial seal in their hands. Amidst their shock, they were also filled with deep gratitude.

The Xu family, born nearly 10 billion years ago, has been endowed with the most noble bloodline recognized by the human race since birth. They are known as the Holy Lord Family of the human race and have no shortage of resources, but they are not particularly abundant.

They had only heard of the patriarch's generosity before, but this time they witnessed it firsthand. More importantly, they had actually met the legendary patriarch.

"I will be away from the human race for a long time. During my absence, you, the younger generation of the Xu family, must work hard to cultivate and realize your value in the human race."

"In addition, there are those Xu family descendants who have reached the end of their path to the Great Dao." Xu Chen looked at the Xu family descendants standing in the front row, most of whom were at the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm.

"Don't lose heart. In the chaos, among all the star fields, your path to the Great Dao will continue."

On this day, the Xu family heard more teachings from their ancestor than in hundreds of billions of years before. The ancestor's profound teachings seemed to be engraved on their own path to enlightenment, and they kept them in their hearts forever.

The Xu family, worth hundreds of billions, dispersed, leaving only Xu Chen's parents, Xu Xiyue, Su Yueyao, and Yang Ling'er.

"Chen'er, go and make your own way. The Xu family will not be a burden to you."

Xu Qiangjia and Wei Miaoqiu looked at Xu Chen with reluctance, knowing that this parting would mean billions of years before they met again.

“Husband, we will help you open a home.” Yang Ling’er said.

"You don't want to come with me~" Xu Chen said with a smile as he looked at Yang Ling'er.

"Yueyao and I have already discussed it, so we won't be a burden to you," Yang Ling'er said with a grin, putting her arm around Su Yao's shoulder.

"I'm just relinquishing control of human affairs; I expect you'll return in time."

"Father, Mother, Xiyue, Ling'er, Yueyao, wait for me to come back!"

A spatial portal opened, and Xu Chen smiled, waved to everyone, and entered the portal.

In a star field where the myriad paths were still undeveloped, Xu Chen emerged from the void.

"This unique space in the star field is the most suitable transit point for me to travel to the various constellations."

Xu Chen lightly flicked his index finger, and a rift in the void opened, from which Da Xu emerged.

"It seems you plan to use this place as your transit point. What do you need me to do?" Before Xu Chen could speak, Da Xu already knew what this star field was for.

"I will transform this special space into my cave dwelling. From here, I will travel to various star fields. In this way, even if powerful figures at the fourth or fifth realm of the Great Dao come after me, they will not implicate the human race."

"In that case, we will build your cave into a fortress that combines offense and defense."

"I'll build the basic framework for you in the early stages. Later, once you have more Xuanhuang treasures, I'll add the formations and killing treasures."

A massive beam of light floated in front of Xu Chen, completely obscuring half of the star field.

"Okay." Xu Chen nodded slightly.

In the other half of the star field, which was not obscured by light and shadow, one spatial gate after another began to be built from the void.

Xu Chen's gaze swept over these spatial portals, finally settling on a portal marked in red.

Long ago, Xu Chen marked the spatial portals he had explored with colors, and the redder the color, the higher the level of danger.

Most of the star fields behind these red-marked spatial gates are guarded by powerful experts at the fourth realm or above who have reached the Great Dao, and the star fields themselves contain special Dao essence.

"This unique Dao of cause and effect—this time, I must comprehend it!"

Behind this spatial gate lies a star field with several fourth-realm experts stationed there. When Xu Chen entered, he was immediately discovered by one of the fourth-realm experts in that star field, who then annihilated Xu Chen's rule avatar with a single palm strike.

Now that Xu Chen has reached the peak of the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, his strength is several times greater than before. With the help of the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure, he is confident that he can rival a second-stage Invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert.

Xu Chen calculated that, given his own strength, he should have a sliver of hope of surviving in that star field against a fourth-realm expert.

In the Tianyin Starfield, a barren starfield opened up a small crack, and Xu Chen cautiously peeked out from within. But the instant he appeared, a gigantic hand from the heavens shot out from the void and slammed down in Xu Chen's direction.

"boom!!!"

The void trembled for hundreds of billions of miles, and countless great powers of the Great Dao raged in this area, turning the entire space into nothingness.

Xu Chen was reduced to ashes by the power of this palm strike, his true spirit and karma extinguished.

In the Weixuan Small World, outside Xiaoling City, in an ordinary village, a baby is born.

The newborn baby stared at its surroundings with bright, lively eyes.

"Yuefen, congratulations! Your son has spiritual roots." The midwife, who delivered the baby, stroked the small, yellowish-brown fleshy wings on the back of the infant, her tone full of envy.

"Really...really!" Lying on the bed, the weak woman tried to sit up and looked at the baby in the midwife's arms.

"Don't move. Moving right after giving birth can cause health problems later on." The midwife held the baby in one arm and pressed the woman back onto the bed with the other.

He then carefully placed the baby next to the woman.

"The feathers on its back are yellowish-brown, which means it must contain an earth spirit root. Once it is sent to the spirit academy after it turns six, your family will be able to live a good life."

"I remember your kindness in helping me give birth, Auntie, and I will repay you in the future." The woman lying on the bed happily touched the baby's back, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

"Alright, I'll go out and inform your husband!"

Six years later.

In a large courtyard of ten acres, Xu Chen, who had transformed into an infant, lay on a rocking chair in the yard, looking at the sky with boredom.

"I've suffered a huge loss. I fought desperately for a sliver of hope, only to have it reduced by 90%. Now I'm truly reduced to a mortal body."

"I still need to start cultivating from scratch, but for that special Dao essence of cause and effect, it's all worth it." A complex look flashed in Xu Chen's eyes, and his pair of earth-yellow wings trembled slightly.

"Being born into this small world is troublesome; you have to be careful in everything you do."

Thinking of this, Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, a woman dressed in a brocade dress walked over, her face filled with kindness.

"Sheng'er, you're going to the Spirit Academy tomorrow. Are you nervous?" The woman squatted down beside Xu Chen and stroked his head.

"Don't be nervous. Just listen to the teacher and cultivate diligently." Xu Chen revealed a hint of naivety.

"Yes, that's it."

Xu Chen looked at his mother's body and thought about what would happen after he left.

The next day, Xu Chen was taken to the Spirit Academy, where he was tested and found to have a medium-level earth spirit root aptitude. This aptitude was neither particularly good nor bad, but it was enough to attract the academy's attention.

"In this life, I'll take a steady approach, cultivate in a low-key manner, and only show my talent after I've become strong enough."

In the Spirit Academy, Xu Chen steadily followed his teacher to learn cultivation techniques and spiritual arts, and his strength consistently remained in the upper-middle range.

After studying at the Spirit Academy for twenty years, Xu Chen graduated with the Spirit Body Realm, which is equivalent to the Precious Body Realm in the human race.

However, Xu Chen's true strength had already reached the Immortal Ascension Realm. To be on the safe side, Xu Chen had been hiding his strength, just to confirm one thing: whether there was an even stronger being in this small world.

Xu Chen was confident in his combat strength, but the bloodline of his body had an upper limit, and he dared not use his methods to break through the upper limit of his body's race.

If he were discovered by a powerful figure on the Great Dao, all his plans would be in vain.

After graduating, Xu Chen returned to his hometown. By then, Xu Chen's parents were the largest landlords in the surrounding towns.

A luxurious compound spanning hundreds of acres with seven courtyards, housing thousands of servants.

As soon as Xu Chen returned home, he saw thousands of servants lined up to welcome him.

The body's parents, along with thirty young girls, approached Xu Chen.

"No need for such a grand display." Xu Chen smiled slightly as he looked at the strong, sturdy servants dressed in cotton-padded clothes.

Xu Chen has decided that once he has explored this small world and the situation outside, he will go into seclusion and hand over this body to his clone.

As for the parents of this body, he will have his clone take care of them until the end of their lives, ensuring they enjoy wealth and honor throughout their lives.

"Sheng'er, I've found out everything. You'll be going to the battlefield in a few days, and these are the wives I've found for you. These next few days..."

"Work hard these next few days and try to leave a bloodline for our Sheng family."

As Xu Chenniang spoke, she brought the 30 women behind her to Xu Chen and introduced them one by one. Looking at the women's breasts and buttocks, she could tell they were all fertile.

"I need to cultivate these next few days to break through my bottleneck, so that I will have a greater chance of survival on the battlefield."

As soon as Xu Chen mentioned cultivation, his parents immediately took it seriously.

"Sheng'er, come on, let's go see your cultivation room and see if you're satisfied."

Xu Chen's parents immediately took him to the largest room in the courtyard.

It's more like a small palace than a room.

The palace was spotless.

"I built this based on the training rooms in other students' homes. Even though you haven't been home all these years, I've had someone clean it every day," Xu Chen's father proudly introduced.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Xu Chen pretended to be cultivating and dismissed everyone.

Subsequently, Xu Chen created an avatar, controlling it with his divine sense, while his main divine sense transformed into a soul body, which began to travel around this small world.

"Fortunately, I found a small inheritance, otherwise, my divine sense leaving my body would definitely have shown abnormalities."

Xu Chen didn't know if any powerful figures above the Great Dao controlled this star field, nor did he dare to probe it, but for the sake of stability, every step he took had to be reasonable.

Including his cultivation reaching the Immortal Ascension Realm, which he achieved by modifying his cultivation method based on his own exceptional comprehension.

Xu Chen's divine sense traveled around this small world, and he also learned a lot of information about the outside world.

But as he explored further, Xu Chen sensed that the star field where this small world was located was not simple.

In this star field, when the beings within the world cultivate to the limit of this world, if they want to continue to grow stronger, the first thing they must do is to make this world stronger. Only when the level of the strong beings that the world can accommodate increases can they continue to cultivate.

This rule has been followed without exception throughout countless eras in this star field.

Upon confirming the news, Xu Chen's relaxed and carefree feeling vanished instantly. (End of Chapter)
