Finally, Ye Tianshi left, leaving Ye Chen alone.

"Hometown's calamity, the family's archenemy, a special mission, this really is like some crazy soap opera!"

After Ye Tianshi left, Ye Chen squatted down on the ground. He really wanted to have a good cry because the heavens seemed to love him too much, dumping every imaginable melodrama on him!

Ye Chen felt like a wandering youth as he sat silently on the ground, remembering his miserable life.

His mother ran away after giving birth to him, and his father not only ran away but also took a mistress, thus shattering their family.

Ye Chen grew up eating the meals provided by various households, and had just become impressively handsome when, in a moment of fervor, he enlisted in the military.

After experiencing a baptism of blood, Ye Chen became the king of soldiers, but he was not lauded enough and was ordered to retire by the military district.

After retiring, Ye Chen wanted to get a wife, have kids, and farm his land, but then Na Wudao challenged him to a fight.

So, Ye Chen trained frantically, trying to earn money and find a wife. Meeting Zhang Xinlan was one of the happiest times of his life.

With the goddess by his side, Ye Chen thought he could be happy forever, but for some reason, a Saint appeared out of nowhere, proclaiming that a great calamity was upon the world...

Consequently, Ye Chen trained even more desperately, and then Emperor Litian appeared, followed by the revelation that his parents were alive—all kinds of melodrama ensued.

In the end, Ye Chen painfully left his wife to strive for dominion in the Canglan Realm, but before he could begin his struggle for supremacy, his ancient ancestor found him!

Even more melodramatic events unfolded: altogether there are seventeen people in the Ye Family, each with a mission. Ye Chen's mission was to flirt with women in the Baihua Palace... Why flirt? Because the Ye Family was cursed...

As Ye Chen sorted through all these events, he felt his life was incredibly tragic, truly a human catastrophe!

"Heaven above, earth below, Jade Emperor, I just want to be a quiet, beautiful man, please stop drenching me in melodrama!" Ye Chen really did not want to be a savior, but the situation now made it unavoidable.

"If I end up in a tragedy, I'll turn the whole world into a tragedy!"

In the end, Ye Chen left the mountains and went to the Baihua Palace, where he intended to become a disciple of the palace.

Ye Tianshi had spoken in veiled terms: the enemy of the Ye Family was formidable, possibly a huge power or a terrifying entity. In any case, the Ye family members were all amassing power, building up slowly to unleash suddenly!

As a member of the Ye Family, Ye Chen naturally wanted to make a contribution; the twelve beauties of Baihua Palace were definitely on his agenda!

Because his strength was lacking to control his own destiny, Ye Chen felt somewhat desolate.

But, as Saints ride the momentum, how could he be an exception?

So Ye Chen quickly emerged from his depression and went to the Hundred Flowers Sect to cause trouble among the beauties, actually enjoying this mission, because interfering with these women as part of his mission made him feel less guilty.

The instability of fate made Ye Chen yearn for greater power; he wanted to step out of the cosmic chessboard and achieve true freedom and leisure!

Ye Chen wanted to transcend this world, to become the most transcendent, supreme being. The ambition to be a supreme lord was taking root in him!

Ye Tianshi had lingered long in the Canglan Realm, becoming very familiar with this realm. Before leaving, he procured a map and used Great Divine Power to engrave it in Ye Chen's mind, clarifying the various domains of the Canglan Realm.

Ye Chen was located in the Eastern Shenzhou, where the ruling power was the Shenxiao Sect.

The Baihua Palace was located in the Yongle Divine Continent. To reach the Yongle Divine Continent, Ye Chen needed to cross two large continents, a hugely long journey.

However, Ye Chen's cultivation was no small matter; he just needed one month to cross the two continents and reach the Baihua Palace in the Yongle Divine Continent.

The Canglan Realm was a cultivation plane with countless special races: the Light Clan with white wings growing on their backs, the Giant Spirit Clan as large as mountains, the Asura Race with bloodlust soaring to the sky!

On his journey, Ye Chen encountered some powerful ancient species, including the terrifying golden-winged giant peng, the bloodthirsty savage dragon beast, and the invincible Diamond Demon Ape.

Throughout his travels, Ye Chen saw a lot and truly understood this vast, tumultuous world.

Ye Chen learned what chaos was, witnessed cataclysmic slaughter, and came to understand the law of the jungle, where human lives were as insignificant as weeds.

The great world of Canglan was completely different from his hometown's world—one being a world of technology, the other a world of fantasy!

Ye Chen witnessed countless marvels and slowly integrated into this world, truly becoming a part of it.

The law of the jungle, where the strong are revered. The strong always hold the truth, while the weak have no choice but to sink unwillingly.

Ye Chen set out from Eastern Shenzhou and after twenty-six days, reached the border of Tianlong Divine Continent. In just a few more days, he would step into the Yongle Divine Continent.

"I'm about to reach the Yongle Divine Continent!"

Ye Chen leaned against a large tree, wanting to rest for a while, his gaze towards the Yongle Divine Continent.

"Baihua Palace is yin-dominant; all the inner disciples are women. Even if I can enter Baihua Palace, I can only be an outer disciple!"

"But being an outer disciple is fine too. As long as I can enter Baihua Palace, I will find opportunities!"

"The twelve golden hairpins are all Venerables of the Other Shore, dominating the continent. With my cultivation now, trying to control them is purely suicidal..."

"As an outer disciple of Baihua Palace, I'll first lie low and cultivate until I gradually become stronger, then seize the opportunity!"

Leaning against the big tree behind him, Ye Chen looked toward the Yongle Divine Continent, his eyes gradually becoming dreamy, lost in thought.

"Liu Shihua, Yun Xianghan... Are you all right?" Ye Chen was missing those women.

Ye Chen was concerned about those women, wondering if they were also missing him.

"Boom——"

Just as Ye Chen was lost in his deep longing, the ground suddenly shook violently, as if a massive earthquake had struck.

"What's going on?" Ye Chen exclaimed, jumping to his feet.

The ground shook from all directions, with a constant booming sound around him, as if the earth itself was collapsing.

"It's a group of formidable figures!" Ye Chen's eyes lit up as he spotted a group of people.

This group included both men and women, all remarkably young. They were riding massive beasts, whose thunderous steps shook the earth as they ran across it.

"These people must all be Sect disciples. The Tianlong Divine Continent is governed by the Longyue Sacred Ground, could these all be disciples of the Sacred Ground?" Ye Chen quietly pondered as he watched the group of youthful elites.

"Look, there's someone there!" Just then, a woman spotted Ye Chen and charged toward him riding a massive beast.

Ye Chen stood still, completely baffled by the situation!

"Boy, where are you from, what's your name?"

It was a radiant and beautiful girl, her feet set upon a six-zhang giant beast, looking down at Ye Chen imposingly.

"Are you talking to me?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow somewhat displeased.

This girl was too presumptuous, addressing him as 'boy' and her tone was arrogant, as if she was ordering a servant around.

"Nonsense, who else is here besides you!" the girl retorted sharply.

This girl probably had an extraordinary identity, arrogantly addressing a stranger, undoubtedly spoiled from a young age.

"Dammit!" The girl's arrogant demeanor irked Ye Chen deeply.

He was used to being a big deal on Earth, and suddenly encountering someone even more formidable was genuinely unsettling.

Ye Chen wanted to capture this girl and give her bottom a hard smack, to teach her a lesson!

But before Ye Chen could act, the ground trembled violently again, a horde of fearsome beasts surrounding him.

"Xingmou, who is this kid?"

This was a group of strong figures, all with fearsome beasts as their mounts, exuding terrifying aura, undoubtedly disciples from a major sect.

"This kid is a fool, I asked him his name, and he just stood there, silent." The girl named Xingmou said.

The lands of the ten continents were chaotically boundless, and Ye Chen had always been in disguise, thus the girl Xingmou called Ye Chen a fool.

"Xingmou, you're too naive, this place is on the frontier of Shenzhou, filled with dangers everywhere, how could a fool make it here?" someone observed Ye Chen with interest, as if seeing through his pretense.

Just as this person said, this place was a border wilderness, with countless fearsome beasts roaming around, extremely perilous, not even a Divine being of the land could dominate here, let alone a simpleton.

Ye Chen silently braced himself, ready to make a move at any moment.

These were all outstanding talents, although they had not achieved Transcendence, each one was incredibly powerful, possessing the cultivation of ultimate war saints.

"Fellow Daoist, what is your name?"

At that moment, a man stepped forward to ask, his eyes flashing like lightning, his presence as vast as the sea, apparently the most formidable war saint, a leader among the group.

"Emperor of Heaven!" Ye Chen declared.

"What?" The group exclaimed, all doubting what they had just heard.

"My name is Emperor of Heaven," Ye Chen declared.

Ye Lingtian and his mother were both searching for him, Ye Chen wanted to hide his trail to avoid being found, so he decided to change his name.

The name Ye Chen was an eternal pain, the words 'Ye Chen' were too soft, lacking any deterring power.

Since he had decided to change his name, Ye Chen wanted something imposing and powerful.

What is the most imposing?

"Heaven" is the highest, "Emperor" dominates all, the Emperor of Heaven is the epitome of might and power!

Thus, a miracle was born at that moment, Ye Chen proclaimed himself as the Emperor of Heaven!

"Haha, Emperor of Heaven?" someone suddenly burst out laughing, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a fool.

"'Emperor' denotes the ultimate ruler, 'Heaven' the supreme taboo, how dare someone name themselves Emperor of Heaven, truly unaware of life and death!" someone said to Ye Chen with a sneer, their face full of mockery.

Ye Chen gave himself a name too mighty; such a dominating name didn't belong to this world, for naming oneself with "Heaven" and "Emperor" would shorten one's life!

"I believe Xingmou's words now, this kid is indeed a fool, claiming to be the Emperor of Heaven!"

The group laughed at Ye Chen; "Heaven" and "Emperor" were taboo words, historically, few dared to take on the name Emperor of Heaven, as it would anger the heavens and shorten one's life.

Ye Chen actually called himself the Emperor of Heaven, it was undoubtedly an act unaware of life and death, what else but a fool would someone be?

"Kid, I don't care what your name is, but stop feigning ignorance and playing dumb!" At that moment, the strongest disciple asserted his dominance, questioning Ye Chen oppressively. "There is a mystical beast here, it treads on auspicious clouds and is accompanied by purple qi, capable of flying and burrowing; have you seen it?"
