"This..."

The young man wanted to say something but hesitated several times, ultimately saying nothing.

Ye Chen's question was too taboo, forcing the young man to think deeply and not know how to answer!

The Heavenly Dao is the will of the universe, the supreme of the primordial chaos. Who can rival it? Match it?

"Don't you know who that person is?" Ye Chen looked at the young man and asked.

"I don't know!" The young man shook his head. "However, the origin of that cause and effect is very likely not human!"

"What is it then?" Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, not human?

"Even when a person cultivates to the limit, they reach only the Great Transcendence, and cannot defeat the Heavenly Dao!" said the young man. "Moreover, there is no Great Transcendence in this era, so the cause and effect on you is likely not man-made!"

Beings of the Great Transcendent Realm are sacred and transcendent, rarely seen throughout history, the great dragons soaring through the universe!

However, the Heavenly Dao rules over the galaxies, and even the powerful Great Transcendent cannot resist the might of the Heavenly Dao!

Moreover, there is no Great Transcendence in this era!

Therefore, the cause and effect on Ye Chen cannot have been planted by a Great Transcendent!

But, the universe is full of mysteries, containing endless wonders, with many forbidden zones that even the Heavenly Dao cannot fully control!

In the vast and endless universe, perhaps there lurks an existence, not weaker than the Heavenly Dao...

"Is the Heavenly Dao really the strongest?" Ye Chen was silent for a moment and then asked the young man.

"Of course!" The young man replied without hesitation, firmly.

"I don't believe it!" Ye Chen shook his head.

"..."

The Heavenly Dao maintains the operation of the universe, undoubtedly the most powerful existence, without a shred of controversy the number one!

However, the kind of cause and effect on Ye Chen makes even the Heavenly Dao powerless, making the young man unable to probe, which has raised doubts in him!

The Heavenly Dao might not be the strongest!

"Maybe... but I don't know." The young man sighed and shook his head.

"Do you know Earth?" Ye Chen asked.

"Yes." The young man replied.

Earth once shone with great brilliance, birthing countless strong individuals, the center of all worlds.

As the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, how could the young man not know?

"Earth once flourished greatly, but after experiencing a period of dark ages, the entire world nearly perished and has been dim ever since... Do you know what happened back then?" Ye Chen asked.

Earth is Ye Chen's homeland, and naturally, he wants to know about it.

Moreover, Earth harbors too many secrets; there are epic figures guarding it, along with so many Great Saints... Ye Chen is eager to explore.

"I don't know!"

However, the young man's answer disappointed Ye Chen. How could he say he doesn't know?!

"What do you know?" The young man doesn't know about this and that, which left Ye Chen a bit annoyed.

"I know a lot." The young man said. "But the things you're asking about, I really don't know..."

The Heavenly Dao indeed knows everything, but the young man is not the Heavenly Dao, just a wisp of its consciousness.

Whether it's about that cause and effect or Earth's darkness, these are the great secrets of heaven and earth, known only to the true Heavenly Dao!

"Turns out you know nothing!"

Ye Chen looked at the young man for a while, finally shaking his head in disappointment, looking uninterested.

"Although I belong to the Heavenly Dao, I cannot represent it..."

The young man seemed to want to explain, but Ye Chen directly interrupted him.

"I know your authority is not enough to uncover too many secrets!"

"Alright, that's enough, you don't need to say anymore!"

"..."

Ye Chen's expression of impatience made the young man feel unpleasant; it was his first time being looked down upon!

"Is there only you as the true dragon in heaven and earth?" Ye Chen asked.

"Yes!" The young man said, raising his head. "The Great Transcendents are also considered dragons, but there is no Great Transcendence in this era, so I am the only one!"

"What about the fierce tigers?" Ye Chen asked again. "How many epic figures are there?"

Epic is a level above the Great Saint, only those who reach the Epic Realm are qualified for Great Transcendence.

Such figures are as elusive as dragons, not even Great Saints can find them, but with the world-ending catastrophe approaching, epics appear one by one.

Ye Chen wanted to learn about how many epics there are in the world, how many formidable enemies he has?

"Many!" The young man said.

"How many is many?" Ye Chen frowned.

"A group!" The young man said.

"Damn, a group of what, a group of pigs? Or a group of sheep?"

Epics are giants striding across the universe, yet the young man grouped them together, which left Ye Chen speechless.

"The existence of epics is somewhat special because they are all Innate and don't belong to the acquired category!" The young man said.

"What is Innate, what is acquired, is there a difference between the two?" It's the first time Ye Chen heard of such a saying.

"Innate refers to the beings born at the opening of heaven and earth; they are naturally raised, possessing extremely strong bloodlines, each one is a natural deity!" The young man said. "Acquired refers to the beings of all worlds, because they parasitize the myriad worlds, their level of life is lower!"

"Moreover, epic ferocious beings are all Innate, acquired beings cannot possibly cultivate to become epic!"

Epics are legendary existences, each one naturally raised, possessing ancient and invincible bloodlines.

Acquired beings grow in all worlds, lacking some innate Dao rhythm, making it almost impossible to cultivate into an epic!

"Acquired beings can't cultivate to epic?" Ye Chen smiled, looking at the young man, asking. "Then what about me?"

"I am also an acquired being, how did I cultivate into an epic?"

Mortal creatures have inherent defects, and at most can only cultivate to become Great Saints; this has been an unbreakable rule since ancient times.

However, nothing is absolute, and there is always a sliver of hope in everything! Ye Chen grasped that sliver of hope, comprehending the Epic, and became a formidable presence!

"You are a unique existence; there cannot be a second one!" the young man said.

Ye Chen bears two kinds of karma, one belonging to the Heavenly Dao and the other to mystery, both significant karmas.

Ye Chen can advance boldly and swiftly, driven by these two kinds of karma!

Therefore, Ye Chen's success cannot be replicated; he is the only miracle between heaven and earth!

"I disagree with your viewpoint!" Ye Chen said.

"Oh?" the young man frowned.

"A blade of grass can sever the stars; a grain of sand can fill the sea. All things in heaven and earth have the power to reach the ultimate!" Ye Chen declared. "If I can break through the postnatal predicament and grow to become an epic powerhouse, then others certainly can too!"

"Therefore, I am not the only one, but the most avant-garde!"

"Behind me, there are many others, who will leap through the dragon gate and advance to the Epic!"

The universe is filled with miracles; every life form is a miraculous existence.

So, if Ye Chen can create miracles, others can too. Ye Chen is merely one step ahead!

"Hehe, what makes a miracle a miracle is its uniqueness!

If miracles could be created at will, would they still be miracles?"

Ye Chen envisions everyone becoming dragons, but if everyone becomes a dragon, who will be the worm?

The pyramid's peak is very high, but if there is no foundational base, how can the peak rise high?

Therefore, everyone becoming dragons is just a grand wish, impossible to truly realize, for there must always be some who serve as the foundation!

"You are the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao; whatever you say becomes truth, so I won't argue with you!" Ye Chen yearned for everyone to become dragons and create miracles, but he also knew this wish was too grand, and ultimately difficult to achieve.

"Are you afraid?" the young man suddenly asked.

"Afraid of what?" Ye Chen was startled.

"Hehe!" The young man self-mockingly smiled. "It seems I was wishfully thinking; your Dao heart is solid, impossible to collapse!"

The young man revealed so much to Ye Chen, intending to instill fear and cause his Dao heart to crumble!

But things weren't as simple as thought. Ye Chen's Dao heart was steadfast, showing no signs of collapse!

"Are you struggling to hold on?" Ye Chen looked at the young man and asked.

"..."

The young man was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, with limited existence time, and was severely injured by the Heavenly Emperor's runes, so the situation was bleak.

At this moment, the young man's figure was blurred, as if he was about to dissolve into nothingness, clearly struggling to hold on.

"Don't be in a hurry to disappear; I have one more question!" Ye Chen said.

"Can I choose not to answer?" The young man's tone was not friendly.

"If you don't answer, I'll take advantage of your weakness!" Ye Chen's gaze sharpened, threatening the young man.

"..."

The young man was so enraged at Ye Chen's arrogance that his nose was almost crooked; as the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, who dared threaten him like this?

But Ye Chen dared!

In a normal situation, the young man would have easily killed Ye Chen!

However, the young man had suffered severe injuries, his Dao power significantly depleted, so much so that he might even be overpowered by Ye Chen instead of the other way around!

"Will you answer my question or not?" Ye Chen looked at the young man and asked.

"..."

The young man looked at Ye Chen with hate-filled eyes; this guy was too good at making enemies. Why not just ask the question directly instead of building it up beforehand? If the young man compromised, wouldn't it be like getting a figurative slap in the face?

"How can one achieve Great Transcendence?" Ye Chen asked.

Above the Epic is the Great Transcendent, a realm on par with the Heavenly Dao!

Only by ascending to this realm can one transcend all things.

Ye Chen had already grasped the Epic, and just needed to take one more step to the Transcendent Realm!

But even though Ye Chen had become a formidable presence, he had not yet grasped Great Transcendence and didn't know how to advance to that realm!

"You wish to achieve Great Transcendence?" The young man laughed, tinged with a hint of mockery and disdain.

"Why not?" Ye Chen responded.

"Do you know of the Daoist of Primordial Chaos?" the young man asked.

"Hmm?" Ye Chen frowned.

"Primordial Chaos is the strongest being of this epoch, undoubtedly the first Epic!" the young man said.

"The first Epic!" Ye Chen gasped.

The young man previously mentioned that there are many epic powerhouses, each an Innate being, transcendent beyond compare!

However, the Daoist of Primordial Chaos transcends them all, becoming the undisputed first Epic, which is truly terrifying!

"The Daoist of Primordial Chaos reached the limit, just a thought away from achieving Great Transcendence!"

"Moreover, this person once went into a mad frenzy and stormed the cosmos's origin, intending to have an ultimate battle with the Heavenly Dao!"

"In the end, the Daoist of Primordial Chaos got his wish and did have an ultimate battle with the Heavenly Dao, but ultimately fled in defeat!"

"However, even though the Daoist of Primordial Chaos fought the Heavenly Dao, the universe's strongest being, his ability to escape alive was proof of his strength!"

"But as strong as the Daoist of Primordial Chaos was, he couldn't escape death at the hands of the Heavenly Dao, much less achieved Great Transcendence!"

"You wish for Great Transcendence, how easy is that?"

The young man mentioned the Daoist of Primordial Chaos, a towering existence, but even the ferocious Primordial Chaos couldn't take the final step, demonstrating the difficulty of Transcendence!

Ye Chen's cultivation realm was impressive, but compared to the Daoist of Primordial Chaos, he was far inferior!

Even the Daoist of Primordial Chaos couldn't Transcend, so how could Ye Chen?
