The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

"You've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for a long time." The figure in the golden light spoke slowly, his voice ancient and distant, as if spanning endless years.

Han Mu stared warily at the ball of light. He could sense that the power contained within it was extremely vast, far exceeding that of a peak Dominator, and even slightly stronger than that of a Chaos Lord.

"Who are you, senior, and why are you waiting for me here?" Han Mu asked.

"Who I am, it's been so long, I've almost forgotten myself." The figure in the golden light sighed. "You can call me the Old Man of Heaven. I am the master of this tower, and also the last Lord of Chaos in the Primordial Era."

"The Lord of Chaos." Han Mu was shocked. The person in front of him was actually the Lord of Chaos, and from the Primordial Era.

"That's right, I was indeed the Lord of Chaos, but that was a long time ago. Now I am just a remnant soul, barely clinging to life." The old man's tone was filled with melancholy.

"Why are you waiting for me here, senior?" Han Mu asked again.

"Because I sensed the aura of the Coffin of Origin and the Chaos Pearl on you. These two items were left behind by me back then. The fact that you were able to obtain them means that you and I are destined to meet," said the Elder Tongtian.

"The Coffin of Origin and the Chaos Pearl were left behind by our predecessors," Han Mu said in surprise.

"That's right. Back then, I was severely injured in my battle with the extraterrestrial demons. Knowing that my days were numbered, I sealed all my knowledge and treasures in various parts of the Chaos Sea, waiting for a destined person to inherit them. The fact that you found this place means that you are the person I have been waiting for," said the Elder Tongtian.

"Extraterrestrial demons, what are those?" Han Mu asked.

"Those were evil beings from beyond the chaos. They feed on the origin of the world. Back then, I led the powerful beings of the Chaos Sea to fight against them. Although we eventually repelled them, I also paid the price with my life." The old man Tongtian said with a sorrowful tone.

Han Mu fell silent; he hadn't expected there to be such a period of history in the ancient times.

"Child, I can sense the medicinal power of the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus within you, but you haven't fully refined it, which is why you're stuck at the bottleneck of the peak of the Sovereign realm," said the Elder Tongtian.

"Senior, you have a keen eye. I am indeed stuck at a bottleneck and unable to break through to the Chaos Lord realm," Han Mu said truthfully.

"To break through to the level of the Lord of Chaos, one needs not only power, but also an understanding of the laws and control over the origin. Although you have perfected the laws, your control over the origin is still insufficient," said the Elder Tongtian.

"Please enlighten me, senior," Han Mu said respectfully.

"I wouldn't call it guidance, but I can give you a chance to cultivate in the Tower of Babel. There's a time-acceleration array inside the tower; one day outside is equivalent to a hundred years inside. You can use this time to comprehend the laws, refine the medicinal power, and strive to break through as soon as possible," said the Old Man of Babel.

"Thank you, senior." Han Mu was overjoyed; this was exactly what he needed.

"However, I must warn you that there are many restrictions and trials inside the Tower of Babel. If you cannot pass them, you may die inside the tower. Are you sure you want to stay?" the Old Man of Babel asked.

"I'm sure," Han Mu answered without hesitation. He had to break through as soon as possible, otherwise the Lord of Chaos wouldn't give him much time.

"Alright, you have guts. Then I'll open the training room in the Tower of Babel. Go in." After the old man finished speaking, the golden light disappeared, and the floor of the hall cracked open, revealing a staircase leading underground.

Han Mu walked down the steps and came to a spacious stone chamber. In the center of the chamber was a futon, and the walls were covered with complex runes that emanated the fluctuations of the laws of time.

Han Mu sat cross-legged on the futon and began to cultivate. He circulated the Chaos Dominator Scripture, guiding the medicinal power of the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus within his body. The medicinal power flowed through his meridians like nine warm currents, nourishing his physical body and origin.

As time passed, Han Mu cultivated for a hundred years in the time-accelerating array, while only one day passed in the outside world. Although his cultivation level did not break through, his understanding of the laws became more profound, and his control over the origin became more refined.

"I'm still a little short. What is it?" Han Mu frowned. He had clearly touched the threshold of the Chaos Lord realm, but he just couldn't cross it.

"Child, what you lack is an understanding of the origin, not the accumulation of power," the old man's voice echoed in the stone chamber.

"Please enlighten me on your understanding of the origin, senior," Han Mu asked.

"The Lord of Chaos, as the name suggests, is one who controls the origin of chaos. Although you have the Chaos Pearl, it is merely an external object. You need to integrate the origin of chaos into yourself and become a part of chaos," said the Elder Tongtian.

Han Mu seemed to be deep in thought. He closed his eyes and began to sense the chaotic origin around him. Gradually, he entered a mysterious state, as if he had merged with the entire chaotic sea, and could feel every breath and every pulse of the chaotic sea.

Under these circumstances, Han Mu's cultivation began to weaken, and a crack appeared in the bottleneck of the peak of the Dominator realm. The crack grew larger and larger until it finally shattered with a crash.

Han Mu's aura surged, breaking through from the peak of the Sovereign realm to the Chaos Lord realm. The entire Tower of Babel trembled, and the Chaos Sea surged with towering waves.

"Congratulations on successfully breaking through to the Chaos Lord realm." The old man's voice was filled with satisfaction.

Han Mu opened his eyes, a chaotic light flashing within them. His temperament underwent a dramatic change, becoming more profound and reserved, as if he had merged with the entire chaotic sea.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Han Mu stood up and bowed deeply to the void.

"No need to thank me. It's all thanks to your own efforts. Now you've broken through to the level of the Lord of Chaos and can challenge the Lord of Chaos. However, I must remind you that the Lord of Chaos's strength far exceeds your imagination. You must be careful," said the Elder Tongtian.

"Senior, do you know the Lord of Chaos?" Han Mu asked.

"Of course I know him. He was the disciple who betrayed me back then. I raised him and taught him martial arts, but he attacked me when I was seriously injured, stole my essence, and became the new Lord of Chaos." The old man Tongtian's tone was filled with anger and sorrow.

Han Mu was stunned. It turned out that the Lord of Chaos was actually a disciple of the Old Man of Heaven, and a traitor who had betrayed his sect.

"So, child, if you encounter him, be careful. He will stop at nothing to gain power," the old man Tongtian warned.

"Don't worry, senior, I will be careful and I will also clean up your mess." Han Mu said solemnly.

"Alright, I believe you. Now you can leave. The entire legacy of the Tower of Babel has been given to you, and it's time for me to dissipate." The old man's voice grew weaker and weaker.

"Senior." Han Mu said with some reluctance.

"No need to be sad. I should have disappeared long ago. It's already a blessing that you came. Go, go do what you should do." The old man's voice disappeared completely.

Han Mu bowed three times to the void, then left the Tower of Babel. As he stepped out of the tower gate, the sky outside had changed. Golden rays of light appeared in the originally gray sky, as if celebrating his breakthrough.

Han Mu took a deep breath, feeling the surging power within him. He was now the Lord of Chaos, and finally had the ability to fight against the Lord of Chaos.

"Lord of Chaos, you wait, I'll come and settle accounts with you soon." A cold glint flashed in Han Mu's eyes, and he disappeared from the spot in a flash.
