Fighting: Xiao Yan at full level, leading the whole match

As powerful beings at the Dao Integration Realm, their strength is unfathomable, possessing all sorts of mysterious and incredible powers.

For example, the Great Thousand Emperors can even see the direction of destiny and even control this ethereal power of destiny for their own use.

As for Xiao Yan's growth trajectory, since he is already a world god, they cannot fully see through it, but they can still see some traces.

Clearly, Xiao Yan's cultivation time must have been extremely short, yet his achievements are so terrifying. Judging from his current performance, it is almost certain that he will reach the Creation Realm in the future, and there is also a considerable possibility that he will become a Dao Integration Realm cultivator.

If one of them could produce a true Dao Integration Realm expert, that would be a truly great thing.

Given their current numerical advantage, if they could add two more Dao Integration Realm cultivators, they might have a real chance of killing one or two of the Seven Demon Gods in the future.

Therefore, he, along with Tianji Laoren, Zhou Yuan, and others, all had high expectations for Xiao Yan.

"I know that doing this will cause a disaster for all living beings in the world."

Unfortunately, if they hadn't done this, and if no even more powerful Dao Integration Realm experts had emerged, the slaughter and disaster caused by the seven demon gods would have been unimaginable.

Only by completely destroying the seven demon gods can this universe be prevented from being further eroded by slaughter and chaos.

The Great Thousand Emperor sighed helplessly and said, "I hope you can understand me. Of course, even if you can't understand, I will still make the same choice. But after you have seen the devastation of the universe, I believe you will understand my choice."

Hearing the words of the Great Thousand Emperor, Xiao Yan nodded noncommittally.

"What you have done, senior, I can certainly understand."

In their previous lives, when Xiao Yan and the others first heard the reason behind it, although they temporarily chose to accept it, there was still a thorn in their hearts. After all, the seemingly casual statement about the birth of a strong person was actually the suffering of countless living beings in the Great Thousand Worlds.

However, after fighting against the powerful figures in the Demon God camp, they finally understood why the Great Thousand Emperor had chosen to do this.

In the chaotic early days of the universe, the number of powerful true gods was far less than that of innate gods.

Back then, the innate demons and gods wantonly slaughtered all living beings, treating them as livestock, and even destroying lower planes simply for their own pleasure.

It's important to know that the earliest top demon gods were capable of slaughtering and destroying even a large world at will.

It wasn't until later, when one after another, true gods of the Creation Realm and Dao Integration Realm appeared, and they had the strength to contend with the demon god camp, that these demon gods truly restrained themselves somewhat.

Only after the number of Dao Integration Realm cultivators increased again, truly surpassing and suppressing the seven major demon god factions, did the universe achieve temporary peace.

At least for now, many great worlds don't have to worry about being slaughtered by demons. Even so, those demons are still quietly destroying those small worlds. For example, the Devouring Beast, a primordial demon that isn't even a god, can devour independent lower planes.

Only by truly eradicating these beings can the universe be prevented from being eroded by these destructive forces.

Therefore, the more Dao Integration Realm cultivators are born, the more great worlds, more lower planes, and more living beings can be protected.

Compared to this, the loss of half of the world is indeed a very small part.

"Hehe, I am aware that the Great Thousand World has caused a lot of trouble over the years. Therefore, when I met Yuan Zun, I left a gift in the Tianyuan Realm in advance, waiting for the strong people who will emerge from the Great Thousand World in the future to receive it."

The Great Thousand Emperor looked at Xiao Yan and apologetic smile appeared on his face.

This apology was not directed at Xiao Yan, but at the countless lives lost in his hometown due to the extraterrestrial evil race.

After he entered the Dao Integration Realm, he saw the invisible pull of fate. Therefore, he led many powerful people under his command to leave the Great Thousand World, causing the Great Thousand World, which originally had the potential to be comparable to or even more powerful than the Heavenly Origin Realm, to fall into barrenness once again.

He naturally felt deeply apologetic towards his hometown.

Now, with fortune waning, one after another chosen ones are about to be born, and the world is about to truly recover and become even stronger.

Therefore, he was naturally delighted and wanted to lend a helping hand to his hometown.

"A gift?"

Upon hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.

He had his own reasons for choosing Tianyuan Realm as his first stop.

Firstly, the Tianyuan Realm is the largest and most prosperous world among the countless starry skies around it, and it even has many gods, so there will be many opportunities.

Secondly, there were gifts that the Great Thousand Emperor had prepared in advance for his group in this Heavenly Origin Realm.

With this gift, Xiao Yan can quickly reach the peak of the World Realm.

"Hehe, I've told you the whole story. Now, let Yuan Zun entrust the rest to you."

After the Great Thousand Emperor finished speaking, he said no more. His gaze finally fell on Xiao Yan, and the divine power projection began to slowly dissipate.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will be the first true chosen one. I hope that soon I can see you successfully enter the Dao Integration Realm and fight alongside us."

Haha, Xiao Yan, you're welcome to visit the Great Thousand World sometime!

As soon as he finished speaking, his divine power projection completely dissipated, leaving only Xiao Yan and Zhou Yuan in the side hall.

"In fact, your senior from the vast world also cares about you very much."

He even named his newly created world the Great Thousand World, which shows that he always missed his homeland.

After the Great Thousand Emperor dissipated, Yuan Zun sighed slightly before looking at Xiao Yan and smiling, "Come with me. I believe you will like the gifts that the Great Thousand Emperor and the others have prepared."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this, without saying anything more.

Soon, the two arrived at another side hall.

This place contains treasures collected by Yuan Zun. If it were placed in another great world, it would be an amazing treasure trove. Even if it is not the most precious part of the collection of a Dao Integration Realm giant, its value is still immeasurable by ordinary gods.

Soon, the two arrived at a stone platform, on which was a small and exquisite silver ring.

With Xiao Yan's discerning eye, he could immediately tell that the silver ring was a Primordial Divine Weapon.

However, this is only the lowest level of Primordial Divine Weapon. Apart from the relatively precious materials and the fact that the refining method requires the intervention of gods, it has nothing special about it.

"Take a look. These resources should be of great help to your world in the future."

Yuan Zun picked up the silver ring and handed it to Xiao Yan. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan did not refuse, but simply nodded and accepted the ring, easily refining it with his divine power.

As for what was inside the ring, he already knew.

One million Origin Crystals, the embryos of five Primordial Divine Weapons, and the corpse of a Creation Realm Demon God.

In addition, there are thirty-two divine arts manuals of the Creation Realm deities, encompassing the essence of thirty-two Great Daos.

Therefore, this is indeed an extremely abundant resource for the vast world. A single Origin Crystal contains enough primordial energy to nurture a small plane, comparable to one percent of the essence of a typical large plane.

In other words, a single Source Crystal can create a small space similar to the Dou Di Space in the Dou Qi Continent back then.

With just one hundred source crystals, there is hope of creating a large plane like the Tianxuan Continent.

If it were ten thousand source crystals, they could directly gather a massive amount of dimensional origin, enough to hatch a super plane out of thin air in the starry sky.

One million source crystals—that's the very essence of a hundred supercontinents.

Of course, supercontinents vary in strength, but the supercontinents referred to here are the most common, newly formed kind.

Regardless, this proves the preciousness of one million Origin Crystals. Many ordinary world gods possess wealth of no more than that. For example, when Xiao Yan catalyzed the Dou Qi Continent into a Great World, the amount of Origin Qi he consumed was probably not much more.

And this is just the most ordinary amount of wealth.

Xiao Yan could easily see that the five embryos of the Primordial Chaos Divine Weapons could all be used to refine Blood Refining Divine Weapons. Just for this reason alone, the value of each embryo would not be less than 100,000 Origin Crystals.

Many newly born gods do not possess weapons of this level. Their Primordial Divine Weapons are forged using the crudest techniques. Although they can withstand battles between gods, they do not significantly enhance their strength.

Clearly, the Great Thousand Emperor had prepared equipment in advance for the newly born gods of his homeland.

The corpse of a Creation Realm Demon God is worth more than a million Source Crystals; it is a true treasure.

It should be understood that gods who reach this level possess the terrifying power to create a vast world.

Not only did they comprehend the Great Dao, but the divine power within their divine bodies was also incomparably vast, far surpassing that of ordinary beginners or world-level beings.

The body of a Creation Realm Demon God possesses immense divine power capable of directly evolving into a vast world.

Xiao Yan only needs to insert this divine corpse into the origin of the Great Thousand World to make the origin of the Great Thousand World grow stronger continuously.

It can be said that the value of this divine corpse is much more precious than the previous million source crystals and the embryos of the five Chaos Divine Weapons. However, because its refining is too difficult, it is not as convenient.

As for the last thirty-two secret manuals of the Creation Realm gods, they may not be much to the Dao Integration Realm experts, but to ordinary strongmen, they are supreme treasures!
These thirty-two secret manuals are priceless to the Great Thousand World. They can systematically guide the Heavenly Sovereigns to learn to comprehend the Great Dao. With these thirty-two secret manuals, the chances of the Great Thousand World giving birth to gods will increase tenfold!
It can be said that the Great Thousand Emperor truly put a lot of effort into his hometown.

It should be noted that there are only a few hundred Creation Realm cultivators in this universe. Collecting the secret manuals of the thirty-two Creation Realm cultivators is indeed a task that even a Dao Integration Realm cultivator would have to put in some effort.

"So, are you satisfied with these gifts?"

Zhou Yuan stood to the side, smiling as he looked at Xiao Yan.

"Satisfied, very satisfied."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said softly, "The Great Thousand Emperor has indeed put in a lot of effort for my Great Thousand World."

"Hehe, that's true, but this can be considered his compensation for the hardships he has endured in the world over the years."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and smiled, "Speaking of which, I also bear some responsibility for what your Great Thousand World has gone through these years."

Well then, since Senior Daqian has brought out some gifts, I naturally cannot be an exception.

I also have two gifts here.

As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his hand, and another ring appeared in his palm.

"Among these are a World Realm battle puppet and a sapling of a Panlong Tree. Consider this my compensation to the Great Thousand World."

"When you return to the Great Thousand World in the future, you can plant this Panlong Tree directly and water it with divine blood. A thousand years later, this Panlong Tree will not disappoint your Great Thousand World."

"As for this battle puppet at the World Realm level, I'll temporarily entrust it to you. I estimate that no one in the Great Thousand World is more suitable for this battle puppet than you. Once you reach the Creation Realm level and this battle puppet is no longer of much use to you, we can leave it for the next chosen one."

Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, and Xiao Yan also smiled.

The World Realm Battle Puppet is made from the corpse of a World Realm deity. It has its own control and can fully exert strength that is no less than that of a normal World Realm. Although it cannot compare with the combat power of the main body and the clone, it can be used as a clone for the time being.

As for the Panlong Tree, it was nurtured by this Yuanzun using the fortune of the Holy Dragon, and it is a top-tier chaotic spiritual root that is no less than the Bodhi Ancestral Tree.

A thousand years of cultivation with divine blood results in a fighting strength comparable to a god at the peak of the initial stage of cultivation. Moreover, the fruit produced allows the consumer to directly obtain the aura of the holy dragon, which is of great help to the Heavenly Sovereign and is a treasure for the dragon race.

Both of these treasures are of considerable value.

"Then thank you very much, Senior Yuanzun."

"Hehe, there's no need to address me as senior. I'm fifty thousand years older than you. If you're willing, you can just call me big brother."

Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, and Xiao Yan did not refuse. The two quickly began to address each other as brothers.

Then, Zhou Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "If you have nothing else to do, my brother, I can hold a banquet in three days and invite all the gods of my Tianyuan Realm to attend. Let them get to know you and give you more opportunities to hone your skills."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan naturally did not refuse in the slightest and quickly agreed. Then, under Zhou Yuan's arrangement, he obtained a divine mansion in Holy Dragon City before bidding farewell to Zhou Yuan.

He had memories of these procedures from his previous life, so he was quite familiar with them.

Soon, he arrived at his divine palace under the guidance of a Three Lotus Saint.

Meanwhile, in the City of Myriad Realms, hundreds of billions of miles away, Ancestor Jinxiao stared grimly at his son, who was covered in blood.

"Who beat you up like this?"

"Didn't you say you were my son?"

Looking at his youngest son's shattered golden armor, Ancestor Jinxiao was furious. At his level, having a son was not an easy thing; it required tireless effort day and night to have any hope of having such an offspring.

Therefore, he has always had a preference for the golden-armored youth.

"Father, it's that guy who was invited in by the God of War today."

The golden-armored youth's eyes lit up when he saw that his father was going to stand up for him.

"He's a country bumpkin from a vast world. Even if he's a world god, so what? Can he compare to our Nine Heavens Great World?"
Father, you must stand up for me!

The golden-armored youth kept talking, but then he saw the Golden Cloud Ancestor's furious expression suddenly change, turning into silence.

"You mean, that guy is the one the Martial God personally greeted?"

"And he comes from the vast world?"

Ancestor Jinxiao looked at his son, while the golden-armored youth sensed a sense of foreboding. (End of Chapter)
