Chapter 2000 - 1830: An Emperor!
"Perhaps it would be more accurate to say the Angel God Emperor."
As Ye Chen’s words were uttered, it was as if they touched upon some ancient prohibition, causing the entire void to seemingly collapse completely, rumbling loudly, very terrifying.
Indeed, Christie is the Angel God Emperor.
No doubt about it, apart from Emperors and Kings, who else in the world could overpower Ye Chen in a battle of the same tier?
No one.
Only entities like Emperors and Kings, who have experienced countless battles in their lifetime and have fought against other emperors, possess such immense combat experience that they can press down on Ye Chen evenly in a fight of the same plane, seeing through his various attack routines.
Otherwise, even if the Emperor’s son and daughter came, they wouldn’t be able to completely suppress Ye Chen in the early stages, unable to gain the upper hand in front of him, and might even be overpowered by Ye Chen in return.
Additionally, those forbidden divine powers of various emperors can be wielded and displayed so skillfully, something even the Emperor’s son and daughter cannot manage.
And the Twilight of the Gods is a forbidden divine power of the Angel God Emperor, which had never been displayed before but was kept as a trump card, just like how Ye Chen created the Heavenly Creation Universe himself.
Considering all this, doesn’t it clarify that Christie is indeed the Angel God Emperor?
Upon hearing this, a trace of astonishment appeared on Christie’s exquisitely beautiful face, though it was astonishment towards Ye Chen. Immediately, an unparalleled, world-shattering smile appeared on her face: "You are even smarter than I imagined."
She did not deny it, acknowledging her identity as the Emperor of the Angel Clan, known as the God Emperor.
And at the same time, her being exuded an aura of pressure, faint yet incomparable, countless times stronger than before.
Divine power like a prison?
No, that is Emperor’s Might like the heavens, capable of shaking the Great Universe!
Even if only in tiny traces, it’s far more terrifying than before countless times over.
At this moment, if Christie were to take action, Ye Chen would have no power to resist, even a finger would suffice to annihilate him thousands of times over.
Indeed!
Even having speculated and voiced it proactively, when receiving this truthful answer, Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel a storm surge in his heart.
The one conducting the ultimate battle with him right now was surprisingly the first-generation Angel God Emperor, an Emperor and King alike, standing atop the true peak in the entire Sealing Universe and even in Chaos Sea.
Yet, he never expected such a presence to appear before him in this manner.
Ye Chen sighed lightly, set aside his heaviness, replaced by a profound respect from the depths of his heart, bowing and saluting: "Junior Ye Chen, pays respects to Senior Angel God Emperor."
On his face, the earlier indifference was gone, replaced only by genuine respect.
Because the Angel God Emperor represents the true Supreme Emperor of the Sealing Universe, once having safeguarded the Sealing Universe with immeasurable merit, deserving of the later generations’ admiration and respect, even someone as crucial as Ye Chen, full of limitless potential, felt the same way.
Christie, the Angel God Emperor, now her sixteen wings retracted, replaced by rings of holy light enveloping her, divine light scattering all around, making her appear exceedingly sacred, even more than the Guanghan Fairy in the skies above, with her golden hair adorned with flawless holy light, as if to be viewed from afar without profanation.
However, perhaps not many know that the first-generation Emperor Ancestor of the Angel Clan was a female Emperor.
"Ye Chen, the Chaos Young Supreme, also the Young Supreme of the Combat Saint Lineage," Christie spoke slowly, standing at the same height as Ye Chen yet making him unable to regard her as an equal, filling his heart only with reverence and willingly letting it be so.
"The Combat Saint Lineage is indeed extraordinary, or rather it is the blessing of the Combat Saint Ancestor, having the infinitely potential Senior Disciple Wuxiang King, along with you, who also possesses limitless potential," Christie sighed softly, "Back then, Qin Wuxiang was stunning beyond compare, known as the King of Kings, unrivaled in battle strength, the foremost King, even capable of challenging Emperors and Kings or Supreme Immortals."
"We even collectively believed that as long as Qin Wuxiang was given enough time, breaking through the Emperor Dao’s shackles, surpassing the ordinary Emperors and achieving the epitome of the strongest Emperor was fully possible."
"Sadly, in the great catastrophe of the Mythical Era’s Destruction, Qin Wuxiang did not manage to fully realize his potential before falling, perishing at the hands of an Alien Race, a deep disappointment."
"I originally thought that Wuxiang King was a special case, but unexpectedly, in endless years, this lineage could still produce you, a Chaos Young Supreme equally astonishing and brilliant, perhaps even more so. You have cultivated the Chaos Dao, even if not yet completely perfected, but already unparalleled, showing me hope."
The Angel God Emperor Christie’s evaluation of Ye Chen was very high, even higher than her evaluation of Wuxiang King, the first king of the Mythical Era.
Because if Wuxiang King has the opportunity to achieve the strongest Emperor, then Ye Chen, who has cultivated the Chaos Dao, presents hope to reach the truly unparalleled eternal domain.
Though this hope is so faint it could almost not be weaker, it is still considered hope.
Thus, the hope seen in Ye Chen is even greater than that of Wuxiang King.
Ye Chen remained silent, only showing a faint bitterness at the corner of his mouth.
Is it really possible to see that hope?
Can my future self truly achieve that unparalleled eternity?
When recalling the images of mythical destruction glimpsed from the wine moments ago, he saw his future self, invincible yet all alone, having truly achieved eternity. But it seems he cannot reverse time and space, change everything, only able to stand at the very end of the River of Time and look back fondly at the past events.
If eternity is achieved, would the future supreme self still send the corpses of friends and family up the River of Time, providing himself with various key clues that need to be faced in the future?
Seeing the bitter smile on Ye Chen’s face, Christie slightly frowned: "Why are you smiling bitterly?"
"I was just thinking, ’eternity’ is too difficult. Even if chaos dao cultivation succeeds, who knows if I can hope to see the path to ’eternity’."
"Do you understand ’eternity’?" she exclaimed slightly surprised, as the existence of ’eternity’ domain belongs to a vague legend.
For countless living beings in the Chaos Sea, Emperor and Supreme Immortal are the supreme existences, the highest domains, the real absolute peak, insurmountable.
However, only those who have reached sufficiently profound levels and high status are qualified to know that in the Chaos Sea, there is also a mysterious ancient stele, ancient beyond measure, documenting a time far away in epochal eras before various Chaos Ancient Universes emerged, where an existence possibly beyond Emperor or Supreme Immortal lived eternally, known as ’eternity’.
Though it is just a legend and may not exist, all Heavenly Emperors or Supreme Immortals acknowledge the existence of ’eternity’, guiding them in pursuit.
But how would Ye Chen know about ’eternity’?
Ye Chen said, "I once had the fortune to encounter an imprint left by Time-Space Emperor in the Boundary Tower at the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass, where I learned about ’eternity’."
"So it was the Time-Space Emperor who informed you." Christie showed a slight realization, then gently shook her graceful head, sighed softly, and seemed to relax a bit: "As long as he is still alive, that’s good. After all, the grand chessboard set up over countless years can’t do without him, and his Time-Space Emperor Dao is crucial, indispensable."
"Chessboard?" Ye Chen’s eyes flashed, capturing some incredibly important information, recalling what the Time-Space Emperor had mentioned to him.
"Yes, it is indeed a chessboard." Christie slowly said, "At this point, your cultivation is fairly decent, having reached the Great Power Realm, and you are a key figure carrying the hope of the entire Sealing Universe, qualified to know some inside information. Like this chessboard, though it’s not time to disclose everything, some knowledge can be unveiled."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen quickly put on a serious expression, earnest: "Please enlighten me, senior. I can vow to the Heavenly Dao never to reveal it."
"You don’t need to be so solemn." Christie chuckled, then had Ye Chen take a seat again, completely internalizing her Emperor’s Might, as if an ordinary person, without any pressure or energy.
Yet Ye Chen clearly understood that when the Emperor unleashes his might, it will be terribly daunting, capable of killing this Chaos Young Supreme like himself in an instant, without suspense.
"You have met with the venerable Time-Space Emperor, so you should know that the emperor of the Sealing Universe did not fall, there are still those alive, right?" Christie opened, seeing Ye Chen nod, continued: "So do you know why, during the battle of mythical destruction, when our Sealing Universe lost, alien race armies invaded entirely into our universe, why the emperors who did not perish didn’t step forward to prevent, but let it happen, and some even left the universe instead of staying for battle?"
Ye Chen honestly shook his head, for he didn’t know and had always been quite baffled.
Not all emperors of the Sealing Universe perished. Some strongest emperors like Supreme Saint Emperor and Time-Space Emperor were still alive, and some emperors ventured to the Primordial Immortal Realm, or even entered that eerie domain of Burying Immortals and Burying Emperors, in its no-man’s zone.
But why did they witness the mythical destruction without making every effort to stop, instead waiting for Primordial Immortal Realm’s rescue, forcing the alien race armies to withdraw entirely?
"Everything is for the Heavenly Earth chess game." Christie sighed lightly, "Knowing they couldn’t resist the alien race, staying would only add needless casualties, and the emperors had already predicted the alien race’s invasion of the Sealing Universe, prepared defenses, leaving their respective backup plans."
