As the Origin Ancestor slowly recounted these matters, the mist veiling hidden secrets dispersed, and the truth surfaced.
With power approaching Near-Limitless, Meng Chuan saw every possibility, every cause and consequence.
It had happened in an undetermined Space-Time, perhaps in the past, perhaps in the future, or perhaps in the present.
After the Origin Ancestor saw in Shi Hao, Ye Fan, and Chu Feng the hope of complete liberation, the Origin Ancestor took certain measures through the Unseen.
