"Your heart is upset?" the voice of the Yuan Tian Holy Monarch sounded in Ye Chen's heart.

Ye Chen smiled bitterly, yes, his Dao heart was in turmoil. What a strange thing, he, a dignified god, is now filled with a sense of powerlessness that he can't control his own destiny.

"I don't know what you found down the well that made you like this. But I think it's better for you to go with the flow. Why bother to call yourself true? After all, your current cultivation is still shallow, although you have the Heavenly God Dao Heart, but after all, you only have Dao Venerable cultivation. There are many things that you can't change right now. ”

Ye Chen nodded with a wry smile when he heard Yuan Tian Shengjun's words, he looked out the window and said softly, "I know, I know." ”

In fact, does he really know in his heart? No, maybe he is just an ant who can't control his own destiny, just like the mortals he has always looked down on.

Above that dark black star, what was there, Ye Chen knew. But the Yuan Heavenly Saint Monarch didn't know, and perhaps he would never know in his life, the earth-shattering secret hidden behind that deep heavenly dome.

Ye Chen felt uneasy, he got up and stood by the window, looking out the window and standing quietly in a daze, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't seem to be thinking about anything.

The night was as cool as water, and the moonlight poured down on the ground, dappling a large shadow. As if enchanted, Ye Chen slowly walked out of the room, stretched out his hand, and caught the moonlight.

The icy silver sprinkled on him, and a small mottle shone on his face.

"Is the moonlight?the world?the way of heaven?why has it become so strange all of a sudden?" Ye Chen looked up at the sky. It was a long time before he sighed softly and returned to his room.

For the first time, instead of sitting cross-legged at night to practice the exercises, he fell asleep upside down. Yes, it's sleeping, it's a simple sleep.

How long had he not done this ordinary act? years, no, when he was a god, he had lost count of how many years he hadn't needed sleep.

This made Ye Chen, who was on the bed, feel strange, a very strange but comfortable strangeness.

"What does it feel like sleeping? Ye Chen whispered, began to take off his clothes, fell directly on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover himself, he was going to sleep.

Yuantian Shengjun sensed that something was wrong with Ye Chen, but he couldn't make any persuasion, he didn't understand what was wrong with Ye Chen. A dignified god, an existence standing at the apex of all living beings, what could be it that made his Dao heart mess like this?

Ye Chen fell asleep, and after countless years, he fell into a deep sleep again. It was a strange feeling for him, a feeling that his body and mind were completely defenseless.

At first, he was still very uncomfortable, and he would always subconsciously let the Dao heart and the Three Butterfly Origin in his body surge, but after a while, he let go of everything and let himself fall into the deepest sleep.

Ye Chen still maintained a certain amount of lucidity in his sleep, he dreamed, a very strange experience. He knew he was dreaming, but he didn't want to wake up.

The dream is a strange and familiar place. It was said to be strange, because Ye Chen could be sure that he had never been here.

He said that he was familiar because this place made him feel extremely familiar.

It was a ship, not big, at least much smaller than the exaggerated artifact ships he had seen in the Ancient Heavenly Court. It's so small that it's barely worth mentioning.

From the bow to the stern, it is only one or two hundred zhang long. The width is smaller. This made the ship feel a little cramped for Ye Chen.

The whole ship was made of wood, and he didn't feel anything supernatural. It seems to be just an ordinary wooden boat.

The wooden ship was floating in a pitch black, non-existent darkness. Without light, without matter, he couldn't even sense the presence of the three butterflies.

"Where is this?" Ye Chen asked himself in a low voice, but it was impossible to get an answer.

He looked at the darkness outside, and with his cultivation, as soon as his eyes left the hull, he could no longer see anything three feet away. It's just pitch black.

There were several dim small lamps on the wooden boat, Ye Chen walked over and glanced at them a few times, and found that these small oil lamps were artifacts that he had never seen.

Although I have never seen it, the principle of these oil lamps is not complicated, and the purpose can be seen at a glance.

Their only purpose is to emit light, and they don't do anything anymore.

Although the light is dim, it can be lit forever, and it should be difficult for any power to extinguish it.

"Quirky. Ye Chen shook his head and walked aimlessly on the deck. He walked slowly, and the deck wasn't too big, and no one was visible on it.

But in the cabin below, you can feel a lot of breath. It's very long, and the strength is terrifying. Ye Chen was very sure that he had never seen such a terrifying existence.

This should be the power of the pinnacle gods?

But Ye Chen was very weird and didn't feel scared, and he didn't even feel pressure.

He was just curious, wanting to see who the hell was on this strange wooden ship. He circled around the deck and walked slowly towards the cabin.

The cabin was a few minutes dimmer than the light on the deck, so much so that Ye Chen couldn't see the scene in the huge cabin a little clearly.

But he felt unusually familiar and could walk smoothly in the cabin.

I couldn't go far when I saw a person leaning against the bulkhead of the ship, and when he saw Ye Chen coming over, he didn't even raise his head.

Ye Chen walked over with great interest, and slowly could see the appearance of that person clearly, that person looked very strange, very strange.

The man was already thin and out of shape, except for the skin and bones, and his eyes were dark and sunken. It looks terrifying.

Of course, what is even more terrifying is his strength, this is a peak god, or an even more terrifying existence. Ye Chen couldn't say clearly, because he hadn't seen the gods above the middle level.

"XX are you here?"

It wasn't until he walked to the man's side that he gently raised his head to look at Ye Chen and greeted him.

The first two words seemed to be a name, and those two words made Ye Chen feel very familiar. He heard it, but it was very strange that he couldn't make a memory in his head.

When the name entered his ears, it seemed to be erased from his mind in an instant, so that not the slightest impression was left.

"What did he say? My name? Isn't my name Ye Chen?" Ye Chen was puzzled, but he didn't know why, he didn't want to ask.

It seems that he has no strength in his body, and his heart is full of desolation. He didn't understand what was going on, and he didn't want to figure it out. I didn't even bother to think about it.

"Did the seed sprout?" the thin strange man asked Ye Chen.

Ye Chen didn't understand what the seed he was talking about, but he didn't answer either. He wanted to ask, but there was always a strange sense of decadence in his heart that he couldn't erase, and he didn't want to do anything. Consciousness is no longer able to control the body.

"Didn't you?" the strange man let out a dry laugh. His body was extremely thin, and the sound of his laughter was like the sound of sandpaper rubbing against metal, which was very harsh.

His chest throbbed violently a few times, and he was very weak to move his body, but as soon as he moved, he hit his head against the wall of the cabin opposite, not very heavy, but it snapped his neck off. The strange man's head immediately drooped and fell to the ground.

"How long has it been, how long has it been. Does anyone remember?" the emaciated weirdo with his broken neck did not die, but simply fell to the ground with his mouth on the floor and asked questions.

Ye Chen still couldn't make any answer, although he wanted to answer, wanted to ask questions. But the body just wouldn't obey his commands. That feeling of despair filled the whole body. So that he doesn't even feel that his existence has any value.

"XX, help me, help me to stand up. The strange man struggled on the ground several times, failed to get up, trembled and stretched out his withered arm to ask Ye Chen for help.

Ye Chen felt that he might have laughed, but he didn't stretch out his hand, he didn't want to help that weird person, so he couldn't arouse any interest.

The thick and unrelenting despair completely seized him, making him completely unresponsive.

"Yes, even you've reached your limit. Seeing that Ye Chen didn't react, the strange man muttered in a low voice: "That's right, after all, it's been too long." Hundreds of millions of years, billions of years, or the length of time that numbers can't describe? I can't remember, my head is no longer good. Will the universe really be born again? after this damn catastrophe. ”

Heaven and Earth Tribulation!

These four words hit Ye Chen's heart at once, and he was slightly stunned, and his originally dead heart was flooded with a trace of waves.

Is this the universe after the Great Tribulation? Nothing, nothing left, only an almost eternal darkness and nothingness. And then there's their not-so-big wooden boat.

So are the passengers in the ship the gods? The gods who are the strongest, barely supporting the catastrophe and not dying.

Now they are floating in the void after the catastrophe where everything is gone, after spending unspeakable years?

Ye Chen felt his heart beat violently a few times, unlike just now, his heart didn't beat at all just now.

He wanted to move, he wanted to do something, he wanted to ask weirdos.

But that maddening despair caught him very easily, making him unable to open his mouth and move his body.

Despair? Ye Chen suddenly felt very familiar, and the feeling of despair made him extremely familiar.

The Tao, the Tao of Despair!

Yes, he is one of the five paths, why doesn't he take advantage of this path, why should he be numbed by despair?

Ye Chen thought about it, and the power in his body suddenly ran wildly. The strength is very weak, very weak, so weak that even the Refining Body Realm, no! It is not as good as an ordinary person.

But the Dao Heart is still there, and it's running wildly.

"Click. "Heshun

With a strange sound of bones colliding, Ye Chen was finally able to move. Instead of wandering aimlessly like just now, this time he really gained control of his body.

Ye Chen raised his arm and glanced at it in front of his eyes. The thin arm like a hemp stalk, his body was as weak and shrunken as that strange man. Why is this happening?

Ye Chen felt his surroundings and found that he couldn't even sense a trace of heaven and earth energy. No, nothing!

There was not a single energy in the surrounding space. I see.

Ye Chen understood why these Dao Hearts were incomparably powerful and terrifying powerhouses that had become like this.

In this world where nothing exists, nothing exists, no one can restore the strength in their bodies by any means. They can only rely solely on their own strong strength consumption, which is constantly consumed in this long and endless years with no end in sight.

has been consuming himself into this strange appearance of no one or ghost, and his strength and vitality have been consumed. Even the incomparably tenacious Dao Heart began to waver.

Is it, for the pinnacle gods, the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth only begins now? Endless endless empty waiting. There is no hope of waiting.

"Can you still move?" Ye Chen reached out to the strange man on the ground and grabbed his fragile wrist.

The weirdo is very light, so light that it barely feels weighty. Ye Chen easily pulled him up.

"I can't move. Although the strange man was pulled up by Ye Chen, his head was still weakly drooping on his chest, his limbs were so weak that he didn't have the slightest strength, and he couldn't even stand on his own, so he leaned on Ye Chen.

"Can you take me outside, please, I want to see if that seed has sprouted. If not, you can just throw me off the ship. My path has come to an end. ”

The weirdo spoke quieter and quieter.

Ye Chen didn't know why, he nodded lightly at him, and seemed to be very familiar with him.

With his extremely weak body, he reluctantly dragged the strange man and walked towards the top of the cabin.

The path is familiar, but the path is difficult. Ye Chen dragged the strange man onto the deck, leaned to the side of the ship and looked into the dark void.

"Seeds, are they there? I can't see clearly. The strange man's arm trembled, pointing to the black void.

Ye Chen tried his best to look in the direction of his finger, but his gaze could not be extended outward, and he only saw pitch black. But in the darkness, there seemed to be an incomparably small white dot, floating slightly up and down.

"Is that the seed that the weirdo said?" Ye Chen looked at the little white dot that was likely to be an illusion, took the weirdo's hand, and pointed in the direction of the white dot.

"It, has it sprouted?" the strange man's head hung over his chest, and there was a bit of excitement and excitement in his voice.

Ye Chen didn't know what the sprout he was referring to was, so he couldn't answer.

But the next moment, he saw that the tiny white dot began to slowly squirm, slowly getting bigger, and then bigger. In the end, it took on the form of a human embryo.

The translucent embryo was beating clearly and vigorously in the endless darkness, and under its transparent skin, Ye Chen could see a small heart beating.

"My fragment?" Ye Chen made a strange psychic exchange with the strange stone: "If you are that fragment, then what am I?"

The strange stone didn't answer him again, didn't even react in any way, and fell silent again.

But Ye Chen already understood what he was. Unexpectedly, what he had been worried about turned out to be like this.

That's right, he, Ye Chen, is the great power who has survived the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, and he is an immortal ancient god.

But his name was unknown, and although the strange man in the dream had mentioned his name many times, he could hear it, but he couldn't make an impression.

It was too powerful, Ye Chen was too powerful at that time, so strong that he couldn't even leave an impression on that name in his mind.

At that time, because he didn't know how many times he had witnessed the collapse of the universe, he finally jumped out of the wooden boat in despair, but just when he jumped out of the wooden boat.

The universe was born successfully, and before he was swallowed up by the Dark Void, he was drawn into the nascent universe.

His main body was devoured by the shattered chaos. With the power of the pinnacle of the power of the gods, the shattered chaos that should have been completely shattered and disappeared was maintained.

At the same time, because of the fusion with the Broken Chaos, most of Ye Chen's body and consciousness completely disappeared.

And the last small fragment, this strange stone, was swept into the nascent universe along with the shattered chaos.

In the process of entering, maybe the impact was too strong, or maybe there was some other reason, so that his last fragment appeared a strange spiritual separation.

The spirit that came out of the separation was him, the current Ye Chen. Forgot everything, leaving only a trace of the lowest and weakest power, and became a low-level god general Ye Chen.

And the loss of spiritual qualities turned into this strange black stone.

In fact, the black stone without the spirit could not have any consciousness at all, it only retained a small memory, a fragment of memory in that infinite long despair.

And all of this began to happen when Ye Chen got the Shattered Chaos, and because Xie Xinyue's self-sacrifice allowed it to evolve into the Eight Directions Heaven and Earth.

Bafang Tiandi, under the long-term cooperation with Ye Chen, finally had a trace of resonance. It was that trace of resonance that also made the Bafang Heaven and Earth exert a power far beyond the ordinary half-immortal treasure, and became Ye Chen's dependence.

It's ridiculous, in fact, turning the world upside down itself is a shattered chaos that fuses most of Ye Chen's body. As for why he is moving forward step by step.

From the hands of the Purple Immortal Supreme, he obtained the Eight Directions Heaven and Earth, obtained the Black Stone, and achieved the body of the Three Butterflies. Who arranged all this, Ye Chen had a crazy guess.

Heaven!

That's right, it's the way of heaven!

If everything he saw in his dream was true, then when that nascent universe had just formed, the closest thing to it was the main body that fused with himself and the Shattered Chaos, as well as the fragment of himself!

The nascent universe was still very immature, and the Heavenly Dao that had just been formed was extremely fragile.

Since the spiritual essence of one's own fragments can be separated, will the same situation occur in the Shattered Chaos?

Once this is the case, then what will be separated is an incomparably terrifying, incomparably powerful soul compared to the newly born universe!

It could completely seize the incomplete Heavenly Dao of the Nascent Universe! It may be a fusion, or it may be devouring, but no matter which one it is, that soul may have already merged with this Heavenly Dao.

This is why Ye Chen was guided all the way to everything, and it is also the reason why he was knocked down to the mortal world from the Ancient Heavenly Court!

Guidance from Heaven!

"Is that you!" Ye Chen raised his head and looked at the sky. His gaze seemed to penetrate time and space, penetrate the Guanlan Great World, and rushed straight beyond the Three Thousand Great Worlds, reaching the top of the Ancient Heavenly Court. I saw the invisible but real way of heaven.

"What do you want to do, I feel that I am about to die, do you want me to achieve three butterfly immersion with this fragment, and then go to replenish and repair you?" Ye Chen's eyes narrowed.

A huge vortex suddenly appeared out of thin air in the sky, it rotated quietly and silently, without any energy disturbance, without any destructive power, just so weirdly produced a huge vortex.

This phenomenon appeared in the entire Guanlan Great World, no, in the entire universe, even in the Ancient Heavenly Court.

"Is that your answer? admit it?" Ye Chen looked at the swirling vortex in the sky. He felt a little dazed.

What should he do? What can he do?

Will the path after that be all arranged by the Heavenly Dao? He will eventually step back into the Heavenly Court and use his body to repair the broken Heavenly Dao.

Can Ye Chen refuse? No, even if he refuses, the Heavenly Dao will eventually be destroyed, and he will be destroyed with him.

Time is running out. According to Bai Baijun, it is only a few hundred years old.

And Ye Chen didn't seem to have any need to refuse. After all, this is not devouring, but a supplement, a wholeness of the self.

He and the Heavenly Dao themselves were one, split apart by an incomparably powerful immortal ancient god. If that's the case, what's so bad about being complete again now?

Ye Chen thought about it and smiled softly, he began to look forward to it. Looking forward to being complete again and becoming the way of heaven. Be that being far beyond all else.

"If that's the case, then I know how to do it. Ye Chen looked at the sky and nodded lightly.

In the next second, the terrifying vortex in the sky disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

All the people who saw the abnormal scene just now, whether it was mortals, or the gods in the heavenly court, or even the immortal ancient gods, completely forgot about it, leaving not the slightest impression.

There is only one person in the universe who retains the memory just now, and that is Ye Chen, who knows who he is.

"What the hell is that name?, my name, what's it called?" Ye Chen finally let go of the burden in his heart, and his whole person relaxed. He pondered as he walked out the door.

"I can't believe that the solution to all the puzzles is to sleep. Ye Chen rubbed his head gently. Yes, it's such a simple thing as sleeping, but it has been completely abandoned by almost all martial artists.

"Chong'er, come on, my mother has personally cooked for you today and cooked a good dish for you, come and taste it." As soon as Mrs. Wang saw Ye Chen come out, she immediately greeted her.

Ye Chen, who was in a good mood, immediately smiled at her and walked over.
