Heavenly Desolation Continent.
Central Domain, Divine Firmament Sacred Land.
Inside an ancient and unadorned great hall.
A middle-aged man stared at a shattered jade tablet in his hand, his eyes filled with helplessness.
"Back then, when I became Holy Master, you turned to the demonic path in a fit of rage and left the Divine Firmament Sacred Land..."
At this point, the middle-aged man let out a sigh. Then, amid the helplessness in his eyes, a trace of icy killing intent emerged.
"But don't worry. Brother will avenge you."
With that, the middle-aged man vanished from the hall. His destination was the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.
Because he did not know who had killed his biological younger brother.
But anyone capable of killing a Great Saint could not possibly be ordinary.
Within a towering building in the Central Domain, inside a simple room.
An old man with white hair and beard sat cross-legged, his eyes tightly shut.
Just then, he seemed to sense something, and his closed eyes slowly opened.
Reflected in his cloudy yet profound gaze was a middle-aged man clad in luxurious purple-gold robes.
"Eastern Holy Master, what a rare guest."
"Elder Chen, I have disturbed you this time because there is indeed an important matter."
Looking at the old man before him, Dongfang Zhentian spoke with slight respect.
"Eastern Holy Master, you have come because of your younger brother, Dongfang Wuxin, haven't you?"
Chen Daoxuan exposed Dongfang Zhentian's purpose in a single sentence.
Upon hearing this, shock surfaced in Dongfang Zhentian's eyes. Then, as though he had thought of something, his expression calmed once more.
"As expected of Elder Chen. That is indeed the case."
"There is no need to ask. If you intend to seek revenge, there will be no life among ten deaths."
Chen Daoxuan spoke again. Those words made Dongfang Zhentian's pupils constrict, and his entire body trembled involuntarily.
He fell silent, because he knew Chen Daoxuan's words had to be true.
At this moment, Dongfang Zhentian's heart was filled with confusion and shock.
He could not understand what kind of existence could leave even him with no life among ten deaths.
One had to know that he was the master of a sacred land in the Central Domain. His strength far surpassed Xuanyuan Chen of the Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land.
Even looking across the entire Central Domain, he stood among the very top echelon.
"Did an Emperor-level Force deploy its accumulated foundation?"
An Emperor-level Force was one that had once produced an Emperor Realm expert.
In Dongfang Zhentian's view, unless that was the case, it was absolutely impossible for even him to face certain death.
At this, Chen Daoxuan shook his head.
"I cannot calculate it."
As soon as those words were spoken, Dongfang Zhentian was shocked once again.
"How is that possible?!"
Chen Daoxuan's words caused even the dignified master of a sacred land to lose his composure.
"Nothing is impossible. Beyond the heavens are greater heavens; beyond people are greater people."
After hearing Chen Daoxuan's words, Dongfang Zhentian fell silent again.
After a long while, he finally forced out a sentence. "Elder Chen, farewell."
After Dongfang Zhentian left, Chen Daoxuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly withered.
"What kind of existence is it? I had only just begun calculating, yet the backlash was already this great..."
For the first time, confusion and shock appeared in Chen Daoxuan's eyes.
Central Domain, Forbidden Abyss.
As the most mysterious forbidden land on the Heavenly Desolation Continent, the Forbidden Abyss was a place no powerhouse wished to set foot in.
Yet at this moment, two figures in white arrived at the deepest part of the Forbidden Abyss.
In the pitch-black depths of the Forbidden Abyss, Ye Chang'an and Shangguan Shi strolled leisurely through the void.
Countless undead kept far away, each of them staring at Ye Chang'an and Shangguan Shi with terror in their eyes.
Many of these undead had reached the peak of the Great Saint Realm, and some had even reached the Half-step Emperor Realm.
Any one of them, picked at random, could rampage unhindered across the Heavenly Desolation Continent.
Yet now, countless undead could not flee from Ye Chang'an and Shangguan Shi fast enough.

Whenever they recalled the scene they had just witnessed, they felt terrified.
These two men had left an indelible shadow in their hearts.
As they continued deeper, Ye Chang'an and Shangguan Shi saw light appearing ahead.
Within this endless, profound darkness, that glimmer of light stood out with exceptional clarity.
"Hall Master, the aura emitted by that light is far from simple."
"Yes. Looks like we found a treasure."
At this, the two accelerated.
When they arrived at the source of the light, they saw a human-height jade stone glittering. Inside the jade stone was a boy who appeared to be only eleven or twelve years old.
Several dozen undead stood beside the jade stone, and every one of them had reached the Emperor Realm.
Yet at this moment, just like the undead from before, they trembled as they looked at Ye Chang'an and Shangguan Shi.
Sensing the pure Yang power emanating from the jade stone, Ye Chang'an immediately questioned the system.
"System, what is this? Why is there a person inside?"
[This is a Yang Extreme Stone, used to nurture an Innate Divine Saint. It has been gestating for over a million years. The time was originally not yet right, but the Host can open the Yang Extreme Stone using source power.] [Hint: The boy within the Yang Extreme Stone can be recruited into the Primordial Divine Hall.]
After hearing the system's words, Ye Chang'an immediately did as instructed.
Very soon, the jade stone gradually dissipated, and the boy within stood naked before the two of them.
He slowly opened his eyes.
That gaze reminded Ye Chang'an of a certain group from his previous life. So clear and pure—well, and a little vacant too.
"First level Emperor Realm. Barely acceptable."
Sensing the boy's cultivation realm, Ye Chang'an nodded, fairly satisfied.
If the boy truly was only eleven or twelve years old as he appeared, then even Ye Chang'an would naturally have been astonished.
But Ye Chang'an had learned information about the boy from the system.
He merely looked young.
Then Ye Chang'an waved his hand, and a set of magnificent golden robes was already draped over the boy.
The boy did not seem to have much of a reaction to this.
"Hmm? May I ask where this is? And would it be convenient for you to tell me who you are?"
Looking at Ye Chang'an and Shangguan Shi, the boy asked politely.
Seeing this, Ye Chang'an smiled and spoke gently. "I am the Hall Master of the Primordial Divine Hall. Would you like to join the Primordial Divine Hall?"
"Primordial Divine Hall? What is that?"
The boy was puzzled.
"It is a powerful force. If you come with us, it can protect you."
"That sounds great. Um... can it be eaten?"
Ye Chang'an: ...
Shangguan Shi: ...
[The system recommends that the Host either use more forceful methods or tempt him with resources. Innate Divine Saints are easily drawn to and tempted by high-level resources.]
Upon hearing this, Ye Chang'an chose the latter.
There was no other reason. It was time to display his resources and wealth.
A golden jade stone appeared in Ye Chang'an's hand.
Before Ye Chang'an could speak, the boy had already appeared before him, his eyes staring blankly at that golden jade stone.
"Do you want it?"
The moment Ye Chang'an asked, the boy nodded like a pecking chicken.
"The Primordial Divine Hall has plenty of them."
"I want to go. I like the Primordial Divine Hall."
Just as the boy's words fell, a phantom image of a divine hall was branded onto his soul.
Naturally, the system had done this.
Since he was newly recruited, some measures had to be added.
The rules originally applied to Shangguan Shi and the others were now imposed on the boy as well.
"What is your name?"
Ye Chang'an suddenly realized that he still did not know the boy's name.
Hearing this, the boy shook his head while absorbing the jade stone Ye Chang'an had given him.
Clearly, he did not have a name—at least, not one in his memories.
"Then I'll give you one. From now on, you will be called Yang Yi."
