Chapter 324: Chapter 286: Going Home (2nd Update)

Inside the Divine Ancient Hall, silence reigned, void of any speech.

For them, the Tiandu Continent had long been like a homeland, where generations lived on this fertile land for countless years, deeply imprinting their lives onto this world.

To allow otherworldly beings to occupy the Tiandu Continent recklessly would be like allowing devastation upon their own homes—a notion unacceptable to anyone.

Yet, someone despondently said, "Great Saint, we are unwilling, but the disparity between us and the enemy is vast; they are too powerful, far surpassing those of us on the Tiandu Continent, how can we fight them? Do you really want everyone to march to their deaths?"

This was his true feeling, and it was also the sentiment of countless others. The homeland must not be destroyed, but the enemy was too powerful, so powerful that they all felt desperate; how could they fight?

The outcome of the battle was predictable—a path leading only to death. Why then weren’t they all evacuating, safe retreat from their homelands might be better, survival being the utmost importance.

This notion was deeply rooted in everyone’s mind; no one wanted their homeland destroyed, neither did anyone wish to die. The end of the King’s Ancient Road was the only way out, survival being of paramount importance.

Many agreed, but no one dared to voice this, for they feared that the Divine Ancestors might disapprove.

Ye Chen silently observed everything. He could understand these people’s thoughts; homeland was indeed important, but so was life. Some were willing to protect their homeland and die, yet others would rather abandon their homeland for a chance to live, especially since the exotic realm powerhouses were despairingly strong. Why indulge in pointless resistance, better to retreat to the real origin land of the Ancient Ancestors—Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

The Divine Ancestors all looked on grimly, but somewhat helplessly heaved a sigh. The Supreme Old Mansion Master said, "Folks, if possible, I too would wish to lead you all away from the Tiandu Continent to the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms in search of a peaceful area to continue living and thriving. But remember one thing, what is the King’s Ancient Road? It only allows entry to the younger generation. How many among you are qualified to enter the King’s Ancient Road?"

At his words, everyone present paled. Was this not severing their hope?

They had all forgotten that the King’s Ancient Road had such rules, immutable, even the Supreme Divine present couldn’t change it, reputedly established by the Ancient Ancestor who created the Heaven and Earth Creation, a trial road for the young generation to become kings.

The Martial God Palace Master said, "This time, fight we must. The true purpose of calling this meeting is to select the first batch of truly potential seeds, to send them from the King’s Ancient Road out of this realm, to the Heavenly and Myriad of Realms for trials, led by young friend Ye Chen. Once fully grown, they may return to help us resist the powerhouses from exotic realms."

This was the real purpose of the gathering.

Strangely, the loss of hope for departure seemed to relieve many present, as if they had been liberated.

"This time, those going to the King’s Ancient Road are truly the strongest seeds among the younger generation, they must be sent out, particularly young friend Ye Chen and several Ancient Heroes, whose potential is extraordinary. One day, they could at least become Supreme Divine Powerhouses, and like young friend Ye Chen, there’s even a chance to surpass that and become an Invincible."

"The elites from the Heavenly Level Academy of the Tiandu Academy are also seeds full of potential, each one a Seed Level individual selected from the Tiandu Continent, becoming a Heavenly God is inevitable, maybe in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, they also have the potential to become a Heavenly Divine Realm Expert."

"Can we bring more people, like heirs from the 108 Countries, all major first-class forces included, they all have the potential to become Martial Gods, perhaps in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms they also have the chance to become Heavenly Divine Realm Experts."

"Indeed, if possible, take more seeds with us. Let them go to the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, this new world. Even if they cannot grow strong enough to return for revenge, they can still become the seeds of our Tiandu Continent, continuing our hopes in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms."

At the meeting, each expert had suggested sending more of the younger generation out, away from the imminent war that was about to engulf the Tiandu Continent.

They were the most precious hope, in the vigorous prime of youth, yet to fully mature, indispensable.

Ye Chen looked at all this, feeling a helpless bitterness. The Tiandu Continent was about to be engulfed in war, foretelling many separations and deaths; he also didn’t know how to face it.

Without informing anyone, he quietly left the meeting, letting the elites choose the future seeds.

In one step, he left the Alternate Space and appeared in the midst of the Western Desert. He looked up at the thousand-foot-wide space channel spanning the skies, constantly releasing an endless terrifying aura, like a great mountain pressing down on everyone’s hearts, almost suffocating them.

It seemed as though a chilling gaze from the space channel briefly landed here, making people tremble.

This was the root of all evil, the cause that made battle inevitable.

Ye Chen sighed softly. He hadn’t fully recovered yet and couldn’t change anything. If he had his previous life’s Supreme Power, he could at least intervene with the War King and other royal peers to the greatest extent, preventing the Tiandu Continent from falling under the scourge of war.

But he was still a bit short.

With a flash,

he transformed into a golden meteor streaking across the desert, then directly entered the Space of Plane, hurrying towards Southern Domain Xiafeng Country. There lay his family, his parents, his clansmen, everything he initially had in this life.

The war was about to spread; he must protect all this, at least ensuring his parents and a few close relatives like Ye Zimei were spared from disaster.

An hour later, he tore through the spatial barrier in the Space of Plane and appeared above Luofeng City.

From a high vantage point, he looked down upon the thriving ancient city that had developed prosperously.

Several years had passed, and Luofeng City had indeed undergone significant changes, expanding more than twice its original size, visibly moving from a small city towards becoming a large one.

All of this was naturally due to Ye Chen’s contributions. Now, he was truly like the sun at high noon, his reputation widespread, the foremost among the younger generation, a distinguished guest among the super forces, capable of slaying Heavenly Gods. All these feats elevated the Ye Family, allowing them to grow increasingly powerful over time.

Ye Chen silently watched the bustling Luofeng City, unaffected by the Western Desert. In the end, the battles involving high-level powerhouses did not concern these ordinary townsfolk; these matters were too distant for them. Even if beings from an Exotic Realm crossed over, they would not harm these innocent ordinary people.

Ultimately, the Exotic Realm’s true purpose was merely to seal the Demonic Great Power Level Origin of the Ancient Great Demon beneath the earth; ordinary people would continue to reproduce and thrive without their interference. To some extent, some would even protect them, preventing undue suffering.

Excessive slaughter could lead to divine retribution.

Taking a step, Ye Chen flew across the sky, heading towards the Ye Family’s location.
