The liver is a late bloomer!

Inside the cave, Xu Chen looked at the bloodline altar and placed the human bloodline on it.

In an instant, a small mass of chaos appeared above the bloodline altar, dotted with numerous star field coordinates, numbering in the tens of thousands.

"There are so many branches of chaos, that's interesting. I wonder how strong the human race is over there."

Xu Chen saw the coordinates and wanted to go and explore them, but then he remembered that his strength was still at the fourth level, so he decided to raise his strength to the peak of the fifth level before going.

Xu Chen can now easily improve his cultivation level because he contains the seed of the Great Dao of Origin within him. As long as he comprehends the seed of the Great Dao of Origin, he can comprehend the corresponding Great Dao.

Most importantly, Xu Chen also possesses the seed of the Great Dao of Chaos within his body. The two complement each other, allowing his strength to quickly rise to the peak of the fifth realm.

"I'll go into seclusion for now."

"As long as I don't break through to the sixth realm casually, I won't attract the attention of that kind of being."

As Xu Chen spoke, he handed the Bloodline Altar to the human race, instructing the human race's high-ranking officials to first locate the nearest chaotic coordinates of the human race's star field.

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

Nine trillion years pass in the blink of an eye.

Xu Chen, who was in seclusion, had already comprehended 720 kinds of primordial Daos and their corresponding Chaos Daos.

His own strength directly jumped from the fourth realm to the peak of the fifth realm. As long as Xu Chen wanted to break through, he could reach the sixth realm at any time.

As Xu Chen emerged from seclusion, his divine sense swept across the entire human territory in an instant.

The human race's territory has now expanded to a extent that Xu Chen could not have imagined before.

The entire territory did not increase by a hundred or a thousand times, but by hundreds of thousands of times.

Xu Chen's divine sense alone detected over 100,000 experts at the fifth realm.

After sensing Xu Chen's aura, these powerful figures immediately descended into the star field where Xu Chen was located.

"Greetings, Human God Lord!" Tens of thousands of Fifth Realm experts in the human territory looked at Xu Chen and said respectfully.

"The human race's strength has grown so rapidly, not bad." Xu Chen looked at these fifth-realm experts, some old and some new, and all of them were quite strong, considered top-tier among the fifth-realm experts.

"It seems you've done quite well over the years."

The vast River of Ten Thousand Paths of Humanity flowed past Xu Chen, and on its surface, Xu Chen probed the fate of the human race.

"You've merged the starfields of three thousand human clans through the bloodline altar. Not bad!"

After reviewing the general fate of the human race during his seclusion, Xu Chen praised many of the human race's high-ranking officials.

"God, nowadays, the strength of our human race has far surpassed those three major star domains. Among the many star domains of chaos, our human race has already reached the pinnacle."

"I don't know where to go next," the Ninth Emperor asked Xu Chen.

"Let's continue developing next."

"This boundless chaos contains not only the three major star domains, but also even stronger star domains waiting for you to conquer."

"As for the existence that you regard as the ultimate goal, I already have a way to deal with it."

"I wonder how the things I asked you to do over the years have gone," Xu Chen asked.

"Of the essential gods and demons and alien demons required by the God Lord, the human race has captured a total of 74 over the past nine trillion years. There are also some powerful essential alien demons that we cannot capture. We can only record their causal aura and wait for the God Lord to deal with them," Qingzhu reported from the side.

"Give me these essential gods and demons."

With the current strength of the human race, Xu Chen is already able to entrust many things to them.

Within a star field transformed into a cage, Xu Chen looked at the sealed-off essential gods and demons and alien demons, a smile appearing on his face.

"Ancestor, what use are these gods and demons?"

"The only difference between the true gods and demons and otherworldly demons is that they are a bit harder to kill; otherwise, they are the same as ordinary gods and demons." The one in charge of this star field is a fifth-realm expert from the Xu family.

"You cultivate the strongest techniques and supernatural abilities of the human race. Do you know how these techniques and supernatural abilities were derived?" Xu Chen smiled slightly.

"Could it be these essential gods and demons? But even after so many fifth-realm experts of the human race have studied these essential gods and demons for so long, they still have no clue." A fifth-realm expert from the Xu family looked puzzled.

"Of course you can't figure it out, because you're missing something more important."

With a gentle wave of his hand, Xu Chen controlled a primordial demon to be brought before him, and in an instant, he seized control of the Great Dao authority related to it.

Having advanced to the peak of the fifth realm, Xu Chen was able to instantly extract the most essential Dao from the bodies of these essential gods and demons.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Chen had extracted all the essential demonic and divine demonic beings from this star cage.

"There are three thousand Great Daos, and the same is true of the authority of the Great Daos."

The power of the Great Dao that Xu Chen currently controls is less than a drop in the ocean compared to all the powers of the Great Dao, but even so, it has brought about a qualitative change in Xu Chen's strength.

Outside the human territory, Xu Chen stood outside a Chaos Temple, his gaze fixed on the distant chaos.

After advancing to the fifth realm, Xu Chen had an increasingly strong feeling that the chaos they were in was restricted; otherwise, there would never have been only three major star regions.

However, by extending the coordinates of these star regions, Xu Chen concluded that this star region had no boundaries.

These two feelings contradicted each other, but Xu Chen vaguely sensed that the contradiction was not about the matter itself, but about this star field.

Just as Xu Chen was thinking about this problem, in the distant chaos, an ineffable being awoke from its slumber, and its terrifying aura instantly spread across the surrounding star field.

"Strange, there were only three fruits originally, how come there are so many fruits about to sprout in this orchard now? Not bad, there are also seeds. It reminds me of the forbidden zone. Interesting."

A gigantic hand gently stirred a wisp of the Great Dao's authority, and in an instant, an inexplicable force traversed the vast chaos, instantly erasing Xu Chen's previous thoughts.

At this moment, Xu Chen was inexplicably stunned, feeling as if he had forgotten something.

With a single thought, Xu Chen's consciousness returned to the Holy White Space.

The memories I had just lost returned instantly.

"My thoughts just now were sensed by those beings! It seems I need to be more careful in the future and not easily entertain such thoughts again."

After thinking about this, Xu Chen looked around the entire Holy White Space.

"I originally thought you would be a mid-grade Xuanhuang treasure, or even a top-grade Xuanhuang treasure, but unfortunately you don't have a spirit, and your function is only auxiliary."

"However, this most absolute space is still quite good, even those beings cannot detect it."

Xu Chen's consciousness returned to his original body.

"It seems I will have to embark on a journey to find the true nature of gods, demons, and monsters. I wonder how many there are in this chaotic world."

"In addition, there may be those former sixth-realm powerhouses hidden in this chaos. I wonder if we will be able to meet them."

Inside the Supreme Temple of Humanity, Xu Chen and a group of high-ranking human leaders gathered.

"I'm sure you all know why I want those essential gods, demons, and monsters. This involves the ultimate and purest Great Dao, which is also known as the authority of the Great Dao."

Xu Chen stretched out a finger and gently drew a line in the air.

In an instant, the numerous human powerhouses within the Supreme Temple arrived in this wondrous space. Within this space, all the high-ranking human powerhouses sensed what the Great Dao's authority truly meant—a Dao even purer than the original Great Dao itself. Mastering even a trace of it allowed one to contend with a sixth-realm powerhouse.

“You cannot control these great powers, but I can grant you the right to use them.”

"When I am no longer with the human race, if you encounter a sixth-realm expert or a sixth-realm god or demon, you should use this to resist them."

As Xu Chen spoke, he divided a portion of the Great Dao authority he controlled and handed it over to the entire high-level powerhouses of the human race.

"Lord God, are you going to face those beings?" Xuan Ding asked, unable to contain himself.

"My current strength is not enough. I need more essence, gods and demons, other demons."

"But even if all the essential gods, demons and monsters were absorbed, they might still be no match for those nine terrifying beings."

"Therefore, I want to explore the deeper chaos, break through some limitations, and witness a new world," Xu Chen said.

"So you just stay here and guard the house, and continue to develop."

"Now that the human race is so powerful, can't they still help the God Lord?" The Ninth Human Emperor sighed.

"Of course I can help, but not now."

"Furthermore, I have issued an order to the will of humanity: without my permission, no human powerhouse is allowed to advance to the sixth realm, including those alien races that are vassals of humanity."

"Follow your orders~"

"Alright, that's all I wanted to tell you."

Xu Chen left the Supreme God Temple, met with his family in the cave, and then left the human territory.

But they hadn't been gone long when Da Xu and Er Xu caught up with them.

"Don't rush off yet, I have something good to show you."

Da Xu took a compass and handed it to Xu Chen.

"What is this?" Xu Chen asked, puzzled.

"This is a supreme treasure of the Xuanhuang, which can detect the essential gods, demons and monsters in the vicinity. This will make it easier for you to find the essential gods, demons and monsters in the chaos."

"It took me a full 5 trillion years of research to refine this Xuanhuang treasure. Hard work pays off, and I have finally succeeded."

Xu Chen was overjoyed upon hearing Da Xu's words.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"In addition, I have prepared a set of mid-grade Xuanhuang treasures for you. Whether they are useful or not, you can take them."

A suit of armor, a battle sword, and various auxiliary Xuanhuang treasures appeared in the chaos, shining brightly.

Xu Chen accepted them all without hesitation.

"Go ahead. If you need any magic weapons or anything else, just give the order." After saying that, Da Xu nodded to Xu Chen.

At this moment, the two Xus took out eighteen Xuanhuang spatial treasures.

“These contain the most precious treasures and divine objects I’ve collected over the years. They’re not of much use to the human race anyway, so take them with you on your journey,” Er Xu said.

"You two are still delivering your own things. Alright, go back after you're done and do what you like. We probably won't need you anymore in the future."

Xu Chen raised the cultivation levels of both Da Xu and Er Xu to the peak of the fifth realm, and then continued his journey.

The chaotic behemoth roamed joyfully in the chaos, while Xu Chen, within his inner world, activated the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure Compass to its maximum extent, searching for the nearby essential gods, demons, and otherworldly beings.

"These kinds of gods, demons, and monsters are extremely rare. We haven't been able to find even one using a compass for so long."

Xu Chen looked at the compass whose needle kept spinning and sighed softly.

"But it's still better than searching aimlessly like a headless fly."

In the vast chaos, Xu Chen pointed in one direction and flew.

During the long search that followed, Xu Chen encountered many kingdoms of gods and demons, or otherworldly demons.

Xu Chen easily destroyed some, while he was too lazy to bother with others. It took him billions of years to find a true demon.

Although this demonic being was at the sixth level of power, it was powerless against Xu Chen and was directly suppressed and absorbed by a single palm strike.

"Finding this one in 1.8 billion years is theoretically fast, but it's just too rare!"

Xu Chen felt the newly added wisp of soul power within his body, which only accounted for one trillionth of the total power.

Now, all of Xu Chen's Great Dao authority combined is less than one trillionth of what it is in its fully integrated state.

Xu Chen deduced that those nine terrifying beings must have occupied at least one-tenth of the entire Great Dao authority.

"Take your time looking."

In the time that followed, Xu Chen searched through the endless twilight.

They searched for trillions of years, covering the most extreme chaotic regions they could find, and finally only found about a thousand.

Thus, the power over the Great Dao that Xu Chen controlled increased from one trillionth to three trillionths.

In recent years, although the human race has continued to develop, due to Xu Chen's prohibition, no strong person in the human race has broken through to the sixth realm. Even so, the human race is now the strongest race in all known chaotic star fields.

All three star regions have established diplomatic relations with the human race.

In a chaotic place extremely far from the human realm, Xu Chen, who had arrived there, clearly sensed a seal created by the authority of the Great Dao.

"This seal~"

Xu Chen clearly sensed it, but he dared not move, much less break it, for fear that even a slight attempt to break it would attract the attention of those nine terrifying beings.

Just when Xu Chen was at his wit's end, the human race sent him a message.

"We captured three spatial essence gods and demons, and they're even at the sixth realm!!!"

Upon seeing this message, Xu Chen was startled and immediately rushed back to the human territory.

Upon returning, I saw endless shattered star fields, which were once the territory of the human race.

Sensing Xu Chen's aura, a group of newly resurrected human powerhouses descended.

"Nearly one-tenth of the human race's territory has been destroyed. You should have called me back then." Xu Chen looked at these newly resurrected human powerhouses and casually mobilized the power of the Great Dao of Life to restore their origins to perfection.

"In order not to disturb the God Lord, we set a red line of 30%. As long as it is human territory or human powerhouses, the loss will not alarm the God Lord if it does not exceed 30%."

“Our main goal is to help the God Lord. As for these damaged territories, they can be restored in a million years. The fallen powerhouses can also be resurrected, so the losses are not significant,” said the Eighth Human Emperor.

"You're very kind. If something like this happens again, just let me know. What if these gods and demons of the essence of space escape? Wouldn't that be a loss?"

Xu Chen formed a hand seal, directly covering the destroyed ten-tenths of humanity's territory. He then mobilized the authority of the Great Dao of Time, restoring all these destroyed star fields to their pre-battle state. (End of Chapter)
