"Big brother wants to protect Ye Chen?" The group of elders exclaimed in surprise.

Although they all knew of Ye Chen, they had no ties with him. Why would big brother want to protect Ye Chen?

"Earth experienced a glorious era, birthing many powerful beings!" the man said. "These beings are in dormancy, awaiting the impending chaos and the chance to emerge amidst the turmoil of myriad worlds!"

"If we wish to protect Huaxia from the chaos of war, we need to continue expanding our strength!"

"Ye Chen is the strength we need!"

The man's voice was filled with a sense of history, with an irresistible authority that made the listeners' hearts shudder.

The situation on Earth is complex, with many powerful beings in dormancy. However, they have reservations and dare not reveal their true forms, constantly enduring with patience and hiding!

Yet, as the myriad worlds are about to fall into chaos and Earth stands at the center of the storm, these figures will inevitably reveal themselves sooner or later!

However, once these dormant strong beings emerge, they will set off a monstrous chaos!

At that time, both the East and the West will suffer shocks, ushering in a cleansing!

Although Huaxia's strength is not weak, to resist the flood of myriad worlds might still be beyond its capacity.

Therefore, Huaxia needs to expand its strength to suppress the future chaos!

While Huaxia recruits strong individuals, it is also nurturing its own talents, preparing for the coming great chaos.

However, these matters are usually executed by the Dragon Group, and they have hardly been involved. Why does the man suddenly interfere?

"Ye Chen has gradually become miraculous, growing into the unimaginable, and we all underestimated him!" the man said solemnly. "At this moment, as Ye Chen makes a breakthrough in the capital, the heroic figures of various sides will inevitably stir, disturbing his cultivation! If we offer him assistance, perhaps we can win him over!"

"Big brother, if you want to help Ye Chen, we can step forward. Why do you need to intervene?" an elder said.

There are nine brothers in total, all of whom are strong saints, and big brother is an invincible Great Saint!

The capital is their domain. To shelter a younger generation, their intervention is sufficient, so why does big brother need to act personally?

"It's different!" the man shook his head. "Those who make a move on Ye Chen are no ordinary people. You stepping forward won't solve the issue; I have to face it myself!"

"Could it be that a Great Saint is targeting Ye Chen?" an elder asked in shock.

The man's meaning was already very clear; the entity they couldn't handle is surely the strongest Great Saint!

Yet, a Great Saint is a myth among the myriad worlds. How could one lower themselves to target a mere youth?

"Ye Chen is no longer a mere youth!" the man sighed. "His realm is already unimaginable, even I cannot fathom it, and everyone underestimated him!"

"Those daring to make a move on him now are truly invincible beings, and your intervention will not solve the problem!"

The man's words made everyone's faces grimace, enveloped by an inexplicable heaviness.

What kind of person is big brother? To be considered invincible by him, that person is undoubtedly a truly invincible being—a Great Saint!

"Ye Chen's potential is too immense. Some wish to befriend him, some wish to recruit him, and others wish to eradicate him!"

"But without a doubt, those daring to show themselves at this time must be unbeatable warriors!"

"A few old fellows lurking in the capital are likely to appear, and there will be no use in your going!" The man looked at his brothers, a trace of melancholy flashing across his face. "I haven't shown my face in too long; I don't know if they still remember me!"

The man was undoubtedly a great dragon, but he had been lurking for so long that the world had forgotten about him.

Now, as the dragon emerges from the deep sea, what waves will it stir?

"Big brother, Ye Chen is just a youngster. Those few won't make a move, right?" an elder asked.

He was referring to some of the most powerful and holy beings. How could they trouble a mere youth?

"The Demon Pot, the Qilin... who wouldn't covet them, who can remain indifferent?" the man said softly.

The Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot and the divine beast Qilin are treasures coveted by saints, not even the Great Saints are exceptions.

Ye Chen turned into a light cocoon and fled into the capital, clearly in a state of forgetting himself and others, wholeheartedly seeking enlightenment.

At this moment, those with ambition are surely stirring, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Ye Chen and seize the fortunes upon him.

"A great storm is about to rise, and the capital will fall into chaos!"

"You stay here and watch over the capital, I will take a walk and see..." The man glanced at everyone and took a step forward, heading straight up to the heavens.

...

Courtyard in the capital.

"What happened to Ye Chen, how did he become a cocoon?"

Yun Zheyue stood under the old tree in the courtyard, her face full of anxiety and unease.

Under the old tree was a light cocoon, radiating a crystalline color, lighting up the starry sky above.

However, looking at this large cocoon, Yun Zheyue was filled with unease, even some fear.

A moment ago, Yun Zheyue was about to fall asleep when a sudden aura prompted her alertness.

When Yun Zheyue came out to check, she saw the void collapsing, stars dimming, and a giant cocoon floating in the air, appearing above the courtyard.

A light cocoon covered the sky, emanating a mysterious aura, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. The scene was so terrifying that Yun Zheyue was frightened.

However, this light cocoon emitted an aura, one that Yun Zheyue was very familiar with—Ye Chen's aura!

"I am in seclusion!"

Ye Chen only said these four words before falling into a state of annihilation. Afterwards, the giant light cocoon rapidly shrank, landing in the courtyard!

Subsequently, as Yun Zheyue watched the light cocoon, she began to feel uneasy.

"Ye Chen is undergoing nirvana, transformation, sublimation. This is a huge good thing; why are you wearing a long face?" Yalina and Athena stood in front of the cocoon of light, speaking to Yun Zheyue.

Ye Chen arrived in the East, and naturally, so did they.

But looking at Yun Zheyue's demeanor, they didn't seem to be very welcome, which made the two sisters uncomfortable.

Weren't they just trying to snatch her man, was it really necessary to have such a stern face!

"The aura of this cocoon of light is too intense, I'm worried it might attract something!" Yun Zheyue expressed her concern.

Yalina was Ye Chen's woman, Yun Zheyue had long known this and wasn't angry about it.

The reason she was uneasy was purely from a gut feeling that a storm was coming.

"Yun Zheyue, cut the act already. We've known each other for many years, how can I not understand you?" Athena said. "I bet you're just trying to scare us away!"

"..." Yun Zheyue shot Athena a cold glance. When did this War God become so brainless?

"I know you had a daughter with Ye Chen, and he has captured your heart and soul, deeply entrapping you, unable to extricate yourself!" Athena said. "Aren't you just afraid we'll take Ye Chen away and make you feel neglected?"

"I... don't want to talk to you!" Yun Zheyue retorted coldly.

Yun Zheyue had been overseeing the Dragon Group for many years, with remarkable experience and insights, aware of the brutality of this world.

Ye Chen had too many fortunes and opportunities that were fatally attractive to martial arts strongmen!

At this moment, Ye Chen was transforming, having lost his combat power. If someone suddenly attacked, it would definitely be a crisis!

Moreover, there were too many strongmen lurking in the capital, each one an unrivaled figure. Even if Ye Chen were at the peak, it didn't mean he could dominate alone!

Yun Zheyue was worried, how could she have the mind to bicker with Athena?

"Yun Zheyue, where's your daughter? Bring her out for me to see if she takes after you or Ye Chen." Athena said.

"Athena!" Yun Zheyue suddenly exclaimed.

"What?" Athena asked.

"It's been years, how did you become so dumb?" Yun Zheyue asked seriously.

"I..." Athena's eyes widened, wanting to retort against Yun Zheyue but unable to because she indeed felt a bit dumb.

"Alright, stop it already!" Yalina interjected. "Ye Chen is comprehending the Dao, let's all be quiet and not disturb him!"

Athena was acting crazy and silly, just to grab attention, disgust Yun Zheyue a bit, to prove that she wasn't someone to mess with—after all, she was here to dig the corner!

Yalina was her twin sister; how could she not know her eccentric nature?

"You both..." Yun Zheyue looked at the two sisters and suddenly started gossiping, seeming interested in them.

"How we are is none of your business?" Athena was acting entirely willful now.

"When Ye Chen was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, you were already a Land God, high and mighty!"

"But now, Ye Chen has risen, completely surpassing you, and even ... How do you feel about that?" Yun Zheyue, having spent much time with Su Binglan and the others, had learned much and asked pointed questions.

"Happy!" Athena shamelessly replied. "Ye Chen is so fierce; becoming his woman, of course, I'm happy!"

Eastern women are very reserved in this aspect, but Western women are different because they don't even know how to spell reserved!

So, despite Yun Zheyue's sharp and biting questions, she ultimately lost because she wasn't as shameless as Athena!

"Athena, if you don't tone it down, I'll send you back to the West!" Yalina's face turned cold, slightly displeased.

"..."

Athena glanced at Yalina with a face full of hesitance, and then quieted down.

The West had already plunged into chaos, with darkness everywhere. Although Athena did not fear fighting, she didn't want to become a killing machine either.

Furthermore, Athena was very interested in Ye Chen, and she wasn't ready to leave just yet.

"This is quite interesting!" Yun Zheyue chuckled inexplicably.

Ye Chen stood between Athena and Yalina, making their interaction somewhat strange, yet amusing to outsiders.

"Yun Zheyue, you mentioned someone is plotting against Ye Chen; who is it?" Yalina asked.

Athena, having gone through much chaos, was highly sensitive to danger, and Yun Zheyue's words made her wary.

Moreover, Yun Zheyue was the Huaxia Dragon Head, having dominated an era with considerable prestige, surely wouldn't make groundless statements.

If she said someone was against Ye Chen, it was likely true that someone would take the opportunity to make a move against Ye Chen.

"I don't know either!" Yun Zheyue shook her head. "The waters in the capital run deep with many strong figures. Ye Chen has too many treasures; anyone might intervene!"

"Does Ye Chen have poor personal connections?" Athena asked.

"Uh." Yun Zheyue appeared stunned by this question.

Does Ye Chen have poor personal connections? Yun Zheyue recalled Ye Chen's formidable achievements...

Ye Chen was infamous in the capital, practically a monster, avoided by the elite families like the plague.

But all this fame was a fearsome reputation, all of it achieved through Ye Chen's battles!

Huaxia had many forces, both numerous and few, all among the wealthy families and ancient clans!

Back then, when Ye Chen first arrived in the capital, he drove away the alliance of ancient families and killed many Family Heads of the elite... practically becoming the enemy of the world!

Ye Chen didn't have poor personal connections; he had none at all!

If Ye Chen weren't powerful enough, his actions alone would have gotten him killed a hundred times over by now.
