Chapter 2328: Primordial War Realm!

"Since they were invincible, how did the human race replace them?"

Ye Yuan frowned slightly, a look of confusion on his face.

Jian Yunxin smiled faintly and said, "The Dao Ancestors were indeed powerful, but they had a fatal weakness. Our human race seized on that fatal weakness to utterly defeat them."

It must be said that Ye Yuan's curiosity was thoroughly piqued.

This was the pinnacle secret of the Tongtian Realm; he had never imagined before that even Dao Ancestors could have weaknesses.

"What weakness?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

Jian Yunxin said, "The Dao Ancestors' rule empowerment has a cycle; it is not eternal. At the end of each epoch, the Heavenly Dao reclaims the rule empowerment from the Dao Ancestors. During this period, the Dao Ancestors return to their most primitive state, becoming ordinary people, and this is their weakest moment. In the previous epoch, the human race secretly accumulated strength and exploited this weakness of the Dao Ancestors to pull them down from their thrones."

Ye Yuan's heart trembled violently; only then did he learn that such secrets existed regarding the Dao Ancestors.

He had always thought the Dao Ancestors were eternally invincible, never expecting they could have such a weakness.

But an epoch was too long, so in the eyes of people like Xian Lin and Wu Chen, the Dao Ancestors' invincibility seemed eternal.

"If that's the case, why don't the current Dao Ancestors act to suppress the divine race? The current human Dao Ancestors shouldn't have had their power reclaimed by the Heavenly Dao yet, right?" Ye Yuan asked.

At this, Jian Yunxin showed a hint of disdain and said, "The current Dao Ancestors, heh. With rule empowerment, they are indeed strong. But you underestimate the divine race too much. Imagine: a cat with rule empowerment versus a tiger with rule empowerment—would their strength be the same?"

"The progenitors of the eight divine race lineages were once Dao Ancestors. Although the rule power that empowered them was reclaimed by the Heavenly Dao, they could personally comprehend the power of rules. An epoch's worth of comprehension is no joke. Back then, the top human experts were nearly all killed, yet they couldn't kill these progenitors; they could only suppress them. Now their strength has fully recovered, and each of them is no weaker than a Dao Ancestor."

"In comparison, the current human Dao Ancestors are just a bunch who got lucky, stumbling upon Law Crystals during the Tongtian War to achieve their present glory."

Ye Yuan gasped in shock. He hadn't expected the divine race progenitors to be so powerful that they even feared no Dao Ancestor.

Moreover, from Jian Yunxin's tone, the strength of Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor was probably not far from that of a Dao Ancestor, even if not equal.

In fact, his strength might even rival that of a Dao Ancestor!

Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor was indeed the most terrifying existence among the天人五衰!

Ye Yuan estimated that he was probably someone who could converse with Dao Ancestors.

But for now, it seemed the top combatants of both races were mutually wary, so they had not acted.

The divine race was clearly waiting for the moment when the Heavenly Dao would reclaim the rule power.

By then, the human race would have no experts left to match the divine race progenitors.

Ye Yuan suddenly thought of Tian He and wondered if he might be a progenitor of some divine race lineage, so he asked.

Hearing Ye Yuan mention Tian He, Jian Yunxin was startled and said, "Such a thing happened? Ye Xiaoyou, you have rendered a great service to the human race! This Tian He is the second-generation ancestor of the Heavenly lineage of the divine race. Though his strength is not as great as the progenitor's, it is not far off. Back then, the human race paid a huge price to suppress him. I heard that to suppress him, the human race lost several天人四衰 or天人五衰 experts! Once he breaks free, he will be a major combat asset for the divine race."

Ye Yuan was also greatly shocked upon hearing this.

He had initially thought some of Tian He's words were boastful.

Now it seemed they were not false.

Tian He's strength was probably far greater than Yuan Wei's.

"Alright, let's get to the main topic. Ye Xiaoyou, though your combat power is unmatched, you cannot yet concern yourself with the great affairs of the Tongtian Realm." Jian Yunxin suddenly said.

Ye Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Oh? What business does Senior have with me?"

Jian Yunxin said, "In fact, ever since my father obtained the prophecy, he foresaw that the human race would face this calamity. So throughout this epoch, he has been preparing for it..."

Hearing Jian Yunxin's words, Ye Yuan felt profound respect for Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor.

It turned out that since obtaining the prophecy, Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor had been planning for the future of the human race.

He had spread the Jian family's influence across the entire Tongtian Realm, precisely to scout talents for the human race.

However, although the human race won the Extinction War, it was a pyrrhic victory, with countless lineages wiped out.

After billions of years of recuperation, the human race had finally recovered some vitality.

But even so, compared to its peak, this human race was still insignificant.

The Ancient God Battlefield Ye Yuan had visited was actually a relic of the Extinction War.

The area he had explored was merely the tip of the iceberg of the Ancient God Battlefield.

Though it was a ruin, it contained countless treasures.

Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor had expended immense effort to extract over a hundred of the most supreme human inheritances from the Ancient God Battlefield.

Among them, ten inheritances were left by the most顶尖 human experts of that era, with boundless power reaching the rule level.

In addition, Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor used great divine abilities to create a small world called the Primordial War Realm.

This small world would be used to select the most outstanding geniuses of the human race, who would enter the inheritance grounds to receive the most supreme human inheritances.

However, the sudden emergence of the divine race disrupted all of Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor's plans, leaving these geniuses no time to grow.

But doing something was better than doing nothing, better than surrendering without a fight.

While the Dao Ancestors still had deterrent power, Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor had to advance this plan ahead of schedule.

Jian Yunxin had come precisely to invite Ye Yuan to enter the Primordial War Realm and participate in the Genius War.

Ye Yuan's heart pounded with shock. Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor had actually extracted over a hundred inheritances from the war ruins—such means were simply unimaginable.

However, this was a massive project, and Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor must have expended enormous effort.

"Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor has devoted himself entirely to the human race. I wronged him. Senior, please convey my apologies to Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor." Ye Yuan said sincerely.

Previously, he had thought that great figures like Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor were hiding and selfish, leading the human race into such danger.

Now it seemed he had wronged Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor.

Heavenly Mystery Heavenly Emperor was the true hero of the human race, worthy of Ye Yuan's admiration.

For someone like that, Ye Yuan never stinted his respect; a mere apology was nothing.

Jian Yunxin waved her hand and said, "Ye Xiaoyou, I have seen all your deeds. My father's actions are indeed admirable, but you turned the tide when all seemed lost—equally worthy of admiration."

Jian Yunxin's words came from the heart; if Yuan Wei's scheme had succeeded, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
