"Apocalyptic catastrophe?" Ye Chen's heart trembled; these words were not unfamiliar to him, as he had heard them too many times before.

When Ye Chen was on Earth, Di Lintian had appeared to prophesy that a great catastrophe was coming to Earth, one that would require all beings to unite to survive.

Ye Chen did not want to be lost in the catastrophe, and he had always been striving to cultivate and strengthen himself. However, his understanding of the catastrophe was limited, even vague—he did not even know where the disaster began.

However, after coming to the Canglan Realm, Ye Chen felt the strength of this realm and subconsciously assumed that the catastrophe on Earth originated from Canglan.

But having heard Yu Jizi's words, Ye Chen had a vague realization that it was not only Earth that had a catastrophe—Canglan Realm faced its own peril as well!

"..."

Ye Chen was full of confusion. What exactly did this all mean?

Could it be that, like Earth, the Canglan Realm was also facing a massive catastrophe? But with its multitude of powerful beings and a hundred saints vying for supremacy, how could such an invincible world encounter a crisis?

In an instant, Ye Chen's thoughts were racing, filled with all sorts of questions and doubts.

"I am but a wisp of a remnant soul with only a short segment of memories, about the catastrophe... I have no recollections," Yu Jizi said.

"However, once the cataclysm descends, it will wreak havoc in heaven and earth, leaving living beings in utter ruin... You, as the founder of the strongest path, have the responsibility to lead the heavens in resisting the catastrophe!"

Yu Jizi was but a wisp of a remnant soul, having forgotten much and remembering others unclearly. However, he saw great potential in Ye Chen, believing him capable of ruling over all heavens!

"Predecessor, I haven't even achieved the status of Saint—how could I possibly rule the heavens and deliver all beings?" Ye Chen said with a wry smile.

"You have comprehended the strongest path of this era; you should rightfully rule over the heavens, dominate the universe, and become the sole sovereign between heaven and earth!" Yu Jizi declared.

"..."

Yu Jizi's speech was filled with terms like "all heavens," "universe," "strongest," "vast and invincible," and "domineering."

Such grandiose talk made Ye Chen embarrassed to even think about it.

"The ninth great calamity is about to arrive. If all beings are slaughtered again, the nine heavens and ten earths will shatter, and everything will revert to primordial chaos!"

Yu Jizi exuded a will filled with age, with sighs, sorrow, and an indescribable sense of desolation.

"Predecessor, where did the great calamity originate from? Can't you really recall anything?" asked Ye Chen.

"I am but a wisp of a remnant soul housed within a spiritual seed, with only one-tenth or one-twentieth of the memories of my original self. It's hard to clarify many things!" Yu Jizi explained. "But rest assured, the great catastrophe will assuredly come again. The invaders are a legion of fiendish demons, countless and boundless, with blood filled with savagery and a lust for destruction!"

"?" Ye Chen's expression changed, uncertain and alarmed.

Yu Jizi's sudden appearance and startling revelations were hard for Ye Chen to believe.

But Yu Jizi was definitely a transcendent being. Why would such a person lie to him?

"I am the founder of the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant, and this strongest path seed is my legacy..." Yu Jizi's will surged forth. "You can devour the strongest path seed, and through its resonance, find the ultimate cauldron—it's a gift I've prepared for you!"

"Cauldron?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.

"The ninth great calamity is about to come; I hope you can rise quickly to become the master of this era, leading the myriad races against the great enemy!"

"My own era perished, reduced to ash... However, I hope that tragedy will not repeat itself. You can lead the heavens, defend your home, and annihilate the great enemy..."

Yu Jizi was undoubtedly a bearer of Great Divine Power, with a wisp of a remnant soul capable of suppressing heaven and earth. Yet, his presence was ancient, seemingly not belonging to this era.

The Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant was his creation, and by cultivating this technique, Ye Chen had become his protégé. Although Yu Jizi was only a remnant soul, he took infinite care.

"Predecessor..."

Ye Chen's mind was buzzing; he wanted to ask for clarity. What was this ultimate cauldron, the ninth great calamity, the master of the era? Ye Chen was utterly confused and did not understand a bit.

"Present-day powerhouses are still trapped within their schemes, unaware of the imminent descent of a great enemy... Well, I shall make use of my remaining power to awaken them!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sea of Ye Chen's consciousness—a handsome man with a majestic appearance!

"Boom!"

The moment the figure appeared, Ye Chen's sea of consciousness erupted into chaos, as if disrupted by the man's aura.

"He is Yu Jizi!" Ye Chen exclaimed in shock.

Ye Chen had never seen Yu Jizi before, but he knew it was him the moment the man appeared.

This person exuded an invincible aura, bearing, and demeanor; his very existence was dominating!

Ye Chen had an inexplicable intuition that this person was Yu Jizi, a transcendental Great Divine Power practitioner, surpassing Saints.

"Ye Chen, I've been watching you grow, knowing that you excel in shattering miracles. The heavens and myriad worlds are about to face the great calamity. I hope you can shoulder the heavy burden and complete the great undertaking I did not finish!" Yu Jizi declared.

"Predecessor, please find someone else for this; I am not suited to be the savior of the world!"

Ye Chen instinctively wanted to refuse; he just wanted to enjoy life with his wife and children, and being a superhero was too exhausting—he did not want to take on this task at all.

"If you do not strive, the heavens and earth will shatter, and billions of creatures will suffer, including you... If you wish to reign supreme and unopposed, you still have a long way to go!" Yu Jizi looked at Ye Chen. "You are my protégé, destined to inherit my great undertaking and rule over all realms... I will transfer these cultivation insights, battle fragments, and epic visions to you!"

Yu Jizi reached out towards Ye Chen, and a ray of spiritual light flashed forth, entering Ye Chen's sea of consciousness.

"Boom!"

Spiritual light rushed into Ye Chen's sea of consciousness, causing his thoughts to boil as countless images flashed through his mind.

A ray of spiritual light carried endless memories, among which there were depictions of traditional female figures explaining the essence of the "Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant", as well as battle scenes showcasing the profound simplicity of the Dao's evolution, defying the ordinary...

In the end, what shook him the most were scenes of numerous supreme beings gathering together, confronting a terrifying army!

The terrifying army was boundless, comprised of fearsome demons and monsters radiating an aura of destruction, revealing an intent to shatter the heavens and earth, to ruin everything, as if they did not belong to chaos!

"..."

This memory segment was too vast; even Ye Chen's terrifying Divine Sense struggled to digest so much information at once.

While the Heavenly Emperor Fist was devouring the strongest spirit species, Ye Chen was absorbing the inherited memories. His aura grew stronger and stronger, and a majestic hall began to crystallize in his sea of consciousness!

"Rumble ——"

Divine radiance leaked from Ye Chen's body, and tremors occasionally emanated from within, as if an important transformation were taking place.

"This child has not yet matured and cannot be called the Master of the Era, but he has an unbeatable stature, so he could be called the Child of the Era," Yu Jizi said, watching Ye Chen.

"The Heavenly Emperor Fist is the path of attack, possessing the power to destroy all heavens. It's uncertain if he can ultimately surpass all, becoming an unfathomable being, leading myriad races to defeat the dreadful enemy..."

Yu Jizi was merely a lingering soul fragment, his existence not destined to last long. However, he once was an invincible being who ruled the heavens, and even as a mere soul fragment, his might remained unimaginable!

"The ninth great calamity is imminent, the terrible races will attack again, but the people of this era are ignorant and naive; it is truly concerning!"

"I have only a sliver of might left. I will use up all my remaining strength to alert the people of this era!"

With a light sigh, Yu Jizi took a step and left Ye Chen's sea of consciousness, crossing infinite distances...

"Hm?"

Long Chan had located the Dragon Transformation Pool and was preparing to retreat for a breakthrough, but suddenly, a shadow flashed by, causing her hair to stand on end and a chilling sensation to surge.

"Who is this person, and his aura... it even surpasses my father!" Long Chan exclaimed in utter shock.

A shadow flashed across the sky, stirring boundless waves; its aura suppressed the heavens, even more potent than Dragon Esteem, and this left Long Chan incredibly astounded!

Dragon Esteem was the Dragon Clan's War God, the strongest Saint in the Canglan Realm, dominating the universe, omnipotent and absolute, already the most powerful being between heaven and earth!

But now, with a shadow flashing by, so powerful and invincible, even surpassing Dragon Esteem, how could Long Chan not be shocked?

"Boom!"

However, before Long Chan's shock could subside, the Ten Thousand Dragon Temple suddenly erupted with vibrations.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The souls of ten thousand dragons surged out wildly, with seven immense dragon souls roaring between heaven and earth as if greeting some grand existence.

"Seven little dragons, not bad at all, even recognizing how to revere me!" Yu Jizi looked at the surging scene in the Ten Thousand Dragon Temple and smiled gently. "Well then, since your True Spirits have not perished, I shall assist you in reconstituting your true bodies!"

"Boom!"

Yu Jizi pointed a finger, creating and fluctuating heaven and earth. The souls of the ten thousand dragons surged tumultuously; light burst from the seven immense dragon souls, and the ethereal dragon souls seemed to be condensing into solid matter!

"Rumble ——"

The souls of the ten thousand dragons received an empowering force, instantly erupting into endless turbulence, undergoing incredible transformations.

"What!"

Outside the Ten Thousand Dragon Temple, Saints guarded the place, trying to break into the temple to rescue the trapped geniuses within.

But as the dragon souls surged wildly, causing the temple itself to riot, the color drained from the faces of the Saints outside.

However, just as the temple boiled and the dragons raged, a figure walked out from the temple, standing above the nine heavens, looking down upon the Saints!

In the land of nothingness, countless powerful beings dwelt, with disciples from dozens of powerful factions, grandmasters, saints, and most of the strong of the Canglan Realm gathered here.

The place was originally quite chaotic, but when a figure emerged, divine might overwhelming, looking down upon all beings... instantly, heaven and earth fell silent!

"..."

At this moment of silence, a million disciples knelt in worship, the Other Shore Grand Master bowed in greeting, and the Saintly Great Powers gazed up at their predecessors... All eyes were on that figure.

"The overall strength of this era is not weak; it just lacks a leader. Hopefully, the Child of the Era will grow up quickly!" Yu Jizi looked down upon everyone and softly sighed.

"Whew!"

The appearance of Yu Jizi made heaven and earth silent, Saints held their breath, but before they could recover from the shock, Yu Jizi took a step and left the place.

"Rumble ——"

With a single step, Yu Jizi traversed endless time and space, a golden path appearing under his feet, piercing through the heavens, allowing all beings in all realms to witness it!
