The liver is a late bloomer!

"You already guessed why you're only asking now."

"Do you feel that your own strength is enough?" Xu Chen's usually calm tone had a hint of change.

"Of course not, it's just that I feel that advancing on the path of advancement will help you see more scenery, and we should be honest with each other."

"After all, gods and demons cannot coexist with the beings of the star field."

Chalguri paused for a moment before uttering the last four words.

So what are your plans?

"With your help, I am growing stronger and stronger, and in the future I may rule over a region of chaos, and even establish a kingdom of gods and demons."

“I don’t want to be your enemy, so I want to annex the star region where Saint Ni is located to my jurisdiction, and we will support each other and never invade each other’s territory.” Chargul’s tone was sincere.

"You are too weak now. Let's talk about it after you reach the fifth realm. The relationship between gods and demons and the star field is irreconcilable. We can be friends without contact, but once we do, things will be as they are."

"I'm helping you so you can see more of the scenery."

"Furthermore, given the infinite chaos, the distance between us might be so great that we won't be able to meet even after countless epochs."

"Alright, let's get down to business. Hand over the Chaos Divine Techniques you inherited, and I'll optimize them for you," Xu Chen said finally.

"Good~"

Xu Chen's rule avatar possessed Chargul here to explore everything in the realm of gods and demons, while Xu Chen's true body was in seclusion in the Holy White Space, intending to break through the barrier in front of him.

Previously, Xu Chen had no clue, but when the Rule Avatar possessed Chalguri and saw so many Chaos Divine Arts, he suddenly had an enlightenment and found a way to break through the upper limit of 108 special Dao Essences in his divine body.

Within the Holy White Space, a special Dao essence mixed with pure chaotic power slowly merged into Xu Chen's divine body.

The divine body emitted an extremely strong repulsive force as usual, but under Xu Chen's skillful intervention, the special Dao essence containing pure chaotic power was difficult to integrate into the divine body.

This is a method that Xu Chen spent hundreds of billions of years trying to come up with.

At first, Xu Chen mixed special Dao essence with the power of chaos and integrated it into his divine body, but no matter how many times he experimented, he always ended up being annihilated.

Xu Chen then changed his approach and tried to purify the power of chaos, but even so, he still failed.

At this moment, Xu Chen had already realized that there were also myriad paths within the chaos, but these myriad paths were mixed with the power of chaos, and the beings within the nebula could not comprehend them at all.

Xu Chen had his inspiration when he thought of this.

After several attempts, Xu Chen still couldn't purify the chaos. He felt that the power of chaos was still not pure enough.

Finally, an attempt was made to extract chaotic energy again from the primordial chaos energy that evolved from the pure chaotic power transformed from the devoured demons, and only then did signs of success begin to appear.

This discovery thrilled Xu Chen, who became completely excited after his first success.

At the same time, he also understood why, in those great star fields, the divine bodies fused with the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm only had a maximum of 108 special Dao Essences.

After his success, Xu Chen began a long period of seclusion.

Chaos is eternal, time flows by in a subtle way.

Three hundred billion years is a fleeting moment for Chaos, but for Xu Chen, it brought about a qualitative change during this period.

At this moment, Xu Chen's divine body had integrated 198 kinds of special Dao essences, among which 90 kinds of special Dao essences were mixed with the purest chaotic power, which underwent a fundamental sublimation after being integrated into the divine body.

Xu Chen now felt that his strength seemed to be enough to compete with those who had reached the Great Dao of the Three Realms.

After more than four hundred billion years of seclusion, even with Xu Chen's current level of cultivation, he felt a sense of loneliness. If he were to continue in seclusion for any longer, he might not be able to maintain his mental state.

Xu Chen then exited the pass.

As usual, Xu Chen, emerging from the cave, sensed the myriad rivers of this star field and reviewed the general development of the human race over the years.

"I underestimated the Three Thousand Domains Dao Field. The human race now has so many experts above the Second Realm Dao." Xu Chen's lips curled up slightly.

This time, he concealed his aura upon emerging from seclusion. With his current level of cultivation, even a fifth-realm expert would be unable to detect his presence unless he wanted to.

"It will take at least 10 years for this feeling of loneliness in my heart to dissipate. It's about time I took a break after such a long period of seclusion."

Xu Chen probed the cause and effect and sensed the location of Yang Ling'er and Su Yueyao, then directly broke through the void and descended.

In a scorching desert, every grain of sand is made of fire crystals, making the entire desert a giant furnace where even an invincible Saint Venerable would be burned to ashes.

In such harsh conditions, Yang Ling'er sat on a beach chair made from a supreme innate treasure, drinking a cool beverage and feeling the scorching heat of the desert.

Su Yueyao was not far away, comprehending the Great Dao of Fire.

"Can you guys stand the heat in this place?"

Xu Chen's voice rang in the two women's ears, and then a figure silently appeared not far from them.

"Husband!!!"

Upon hearing Xu Chen's voice, the two girls became excited and rushed into his arms like two butterflies.

"My husband, who has been in seclusion for four hundred billion years, has finally emerged from seclusion!"

The two girls threw themselves into Xu Chen's arms, looking up at him with teary eyes, like two abandoned kittens, which was very endearing.

"I didn't come to find you right after breaking through my bottleneck; I'll spend the next 100,000 years with you~"

"I'll take you on a tour of all the major star regions of our human race. If that's not enough, I'll take you to see another major star region." Xu Chen stroked the two women's hair with both hands.

At this point, both women were already powerful figures at the first level of the Great Dao, and taking them out meant they had the ability to protect themselves.

"Really!" Su Yueyao's eyes lit up with surprise, while Yang Ling'er hugged Xu Chen even tighter.

“When has my husband ever lied to you? Let’s go see our parents and Qin Hu first, and then we’ll set off.”

A portal appeared not far from the three of them.

Within a mid-level star field, Xu Qiangjia is commanding an army of hundreds of millions to conquer this star field.

Inside the command temple, millions of military commanders obeyed Xu Qiangjia's orders.

The entire human army, like a sophisticated battle machine, gradually dismantled the defensive forces of this star system.

"Has the request been sent out? Leaving 10% of the star field to this power is already the greatest mercy our human race can show them. If they don't know what's good for them, we'll have to fight until they agree."

Xu Qiangjia gazed at the light and shadow of the entire star field, his voice echoing in the hall.

"They are hesitant, and their attitude is not as resolute as before," reported a human powerhouse who was at the second level of the Great Dao and overseeing the overall situation.

"Increase the offensive! Don't hold any positions!"

“Tell them that for every hour they hesitate, the promised treatment will decrease by one point.”

"Follow orders!!"

In a corner of the command temple, Xu Chen quietly admired his father's heroic figure. The imposing manner with which he could command millions of troops with a flick of his finger was something he had never seen before.

"My father is the Grand Marshal of the Human Race and has the authority to mobilize all of the Human Race's armies."

"In recent years, Father has led his army to fight in the north and south, conquering thousands of lower-level star fields for the human race," Su Yueyao transmitted to Xu Chen.

"I've never seen this side of my father before." Xu Chen smiled slightly, relieved to see his father had his own journey ahead. Within a few days, the powerful figures of this star region surrendered, and the human army led by Xu Qiangjia entered a period of rest and recuperation.

Inside Xu Qiangjia's cave, Xu Qiangjia was recounting his heroic deeds to Wei Miaoqiu.

"Miaoqiu, you don't know, in terms of strength, I may not be the strongest, but when it comes to battlefield command and conquering territory, those third or even fourth realm experts are no match for me."

Xu Qiangjia ate the dishes prepared by Wei Miaoqiu and drank some wine, his expression very content.

Just then, a bell rang inside the cave, indicating that someone was visiting.

"Could it be that those brats have turned against us?"

Xu Qiangjia opened the cave door, and Xu Chen led Su Yueyao and Yang Ling'er into the cave.

"Chen'er!!" Xu Qiangjia shouted excitedly upon seeing Xu Chen.

Wei Miaoqiu, who was cooking in the kitchen, rushed out and showed excitement when she saw Xu Chen, Su Yueyao, and Yang Ling'er.

"Father, Mother~"

"Your mother just cooked a table full of dishes, let's have a good chat, father and son!"

Xu Qiangjia excitedly pulled Xu Chen to the dining table.

After everyone was seated, Xu Qiangjia couldn't wait to tell Xu Chen about the development of the human race over the years.

"Chen'er, you don't know, these years, human experts have been popping up one after another like weeds in the ground. There are so many experts running around on the Great Dao."

"Over the years, 30% of the human army I have led are experts above the Great Dao."

"No matter how hard I tried before, I could never have imagined that our human race would be in such a state as it is today!"

"All of this depends on you, Chen'er!"

Xu Qiangjia spoke exaggeratedly about the development of the human race in recent years.

"Dad, don't praise me too much. I'm just a starting point." Xu Chen laughed. Although he was an old guy who had lived for trillions of years, he couldn't help but be happy to hear his father's praise.

"Without this shadow, there would be no human race as we know it today."

After sensing Xu Chen's aura, Xu Qiangjia cautiously asked, "Chen'er, I can't see through your aura. Have you advanced to the Great Dao? How is your strength?"

"Not yet, but it will be soon. In another trillion years, we will be able to perfectly advance to the Great Dao."

"As for strength, he should be able to rival some experts at the third realm," Xu Chen said, not giving a definitive answer.

"That's good. You've been in seclusion for four hundred billion years. In these years, many outstanding human geniuses have emerged, advancing to the level of experts above the second realm in just one hundred billion years."

"Although they have heard of your deeds, they have never seen you in person. Although they are suppressed by the older generation of powerful figures, they are inevitably somewhat arrogant."

“Their alliance over the years has been a veiled threat of seizing power,” Xu Qiangjia said, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Forming an alliance to seize power~" Xu Chen stroked his chin. He wasn't surprised that this kind of thing happened; in fact, it was surprising that it happened at this point in time.

“Strength is a good thing. If he wants to seize power, let’s see if he has the ambition to lead the human race to a higher position.”

"Dad, what do you think of this alliance?" Xu Chen suddenly asked.

"This alliance doesn't have too many problems, and it's doing its best in dealing with matters within the human race."

"Their disagreement stems from the feeling that the older generation of powerful figures are too conservative, and that the expansion of the human race should be faster and more aggressive."

"Furthermore, there is a vague idea within their alliance that the knowledge of the most core spatial gates and star field coordinates of the entire human race should be handed over to the entire human race."

"However, this idea was suppressed as soon as it was raised within their alliance," Xu Qiangjia said solemnly.

“They’re not stupid either,” Xu Chen laughed.

"So I was thinking of meeting these new generation of strong individuals after you come out of seclusion, so that they can develop in peace according to your guidance and not let any bad signs emerge," Xu Qiangjia said, revealing his thoughts.

"Since Father has spoken, I will make time to meet this new generation of human powerhouses."

That would be great!

After having a meal with the two women at Xu Qiangjia Cave, Xu Chen set off to visit his other family members.

Within a lower-level star field, Xu Qinhu, already a powerful expert at the Second Realm Great Dao, was in charge of overseeing the development of this star field.

A portal appeared, and Xu Chen led the two women out through it.

Xu Qinhu, who was reviewing intelligence from other star systems, sensed Xu Chen's presence and suddenly jumped up, flying into the void.

"Greetings, Father and Mother!"

Xu Qinhu's figure flew out from the void and paid his respects to the three.

"You're as restless as a child, get up quickly."

"I just came out of quarantine and brought your two mothers to see you~"

Xu Chen's words made Xu Qinhu overjoyed.

Inside a temple, Xu Qinhu sat cautiously to the side and reported to Xu Chen on his cultivation and development in recent years.

Xu Jin, son of Xu Qinhu, walked into the temple with a puzzled look on his face. He was holding the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure-level divine tea that his father had always been reluctant to drink. He wondered who else in the human race besides his grandfather could make his father bring out this tea.

Upon entering the temple, Xu Jin sensed a different aura. He saw his father sitting cautiously beside the main hall, reporting something to the person in the main hall.

Looking again at the person in the main seat, a feeling of excitement welled up inside him.

Xu Jin, who had already reached the realm of the Great Dao, was so excited that he wanted to kneel down to pay his respects, but was pulled up by a gentle force.

"Don't kneel down so easily~ I don't have any red envelopes for you~" Xu Chen's slightly teasing voice rang out in the hall.

"You brat, hurry up and make tea for your grandpa!" Xu Qinhu glared at Xu Jin.

Xu Jin nodded quickly and began brewing tea. Soon, a strange aroma of tea filled the temple.

"So filial!"

"I've been so busy cultivating and comprehending the Great Dao in recent years that I haven't had a chance to drink this Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure-level Divine Tea many times. Today, I'm fortunate to have it thanks to you."

Xu Chen reached out and took the tea that Xu Jin carefully handed him, taking a small sip.

"I know that my father has been busy with his cultivation, so I have always carried this tea with me, thinking that I will present it to him in person when I see him."

"Not bad, not bad."

"Over the years, I can see that you have not neglected your cultivation and have done your best in serving the human race."

"The human race is developing so fast now that they have more good things than I do. If you have time, go to my treasure vault and pick out one item as a reward for you," Xu Chen said, sipping his spiritual tea.

"Father, I'm afraid you haven't yet visited your treasure trove."

"The Xuanhuang treasures that your two avatars have brought back over the years are almost filling the treasure vault." (End of this chapter)
