Chaos knows no time, and more than a billion epochs have passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, within the Primordial God Kingdom on the Origin Continent, things had changed drastically.
After countless years of development, the strength of the Primordial God Kingdom had grown by an immeasurable margin compared to when it was first founded.
Especially the Baili Tribe and other native races—after receiving the blessings of the Primordial God Kingdom, they no longer feared for their survival. As a result, both their population and strength increased dramatically.
The World Tree Girls and Star Tree Girls, who chose to remain in the Primordial God Kingdom, also experienced tremendous growth. After consuming countless Heavenly and Mortal Treasures, many of them had ascended to the Realm of Primordial Chaos Saint or even God Sovereign, mastering over two thousand Great Dao Laws.
Their combat prowess could no longer be compared to what it once was.
Fortunately, they came to the Origin Continent. Had they remained in the Chaos Universe, without access to such abundant cultivation resources, it would have been impossible for their cultivation to progress so rapidly.
Of course, the most astonishing transformation came from the Blood Race, created by the Lord of the Blood Sea.
Every member of the Blood Race had been converted. They now devoted themselves fully to the Primordial Ancient Serpent, shedding their former aura of cruelty, savagery, and madness. In its place emerged an aura of peace, compassion, and kindness.
Clad in golden Kasaya, they now resembled holy monks devoted to saving all sentient beings. Their bodies radiated golden light—the light of faith.
Every day, members of the Blood Race chanted holy scriptures, generating vast amounts of faith power, which flowed continuously into the Primordial Ancient Serpent Talisman.
Naturally, the one who underwent the most dramatic transformation was none other than the Lord of the Blood Sea. After being converted by Gu Chuan, he became a true Saint, believing in him wholeheartedly.
As a result, he was promoted to the Realm of Medium Universe Lord, mastering one hundred and eight Samsara, his power undergoing a complete metamorphosis.
Due to his rapid progress, the faith power he generated was immense, causing the power within the Primordial Ancient Serpent Talisman to swell exponentially.
At this point, the Primordial Ancient Serpent Talisman had evolved into a true Universe Secret Treasure, a divine weapon of faith. One space within it was Heaven, a paradise for the believers. Another was The Underworld, a prison for evil thoughts and heretics who rejected the Primordial Ancient Serpent, where countless devils resided.
Furthermore, the Origin Dragon Vein beneath the Primordial God Kingdom had grown increasingly robust, saturating the land with pure Origin Energy.
This transformed the entire Kingdom into a genuine Sacred Land for Cultivation, one of the greatest in the universe, spanning billions of light years.
This was also a major reason why so many lifeforms experienced such explosive growth in cultivation while living within the Kingdom.
At this moment, in one of the palaces within the Primordial God Kingdom, the World Tree Girl, the Star Tree Girl, and the Elders of native tribes such as the Baili Race gathered.
Since Gu Chuan was still undergoing Closed-Door Cultivation, and the Lord of the Blood Sea spent his days chanting scriptures and no longer concerned himself with secular matters, the governance of the Primordial God Kingdom was entrusted to the World Tree Girl, the Star Tree Girl, and the tribal Elders.
Among them, the World Tree Girl and the Star Tree Girl had become the de facto leaders—second only to Gu Chuan.
"Lord Chenxi,"
One Elder stood up and spoke with concern: "Recently, spies from the Kingdom of Water, Kingdom of Earth, Kingdom of Fire, Kingdom of Metal, and Kingdom of Wood have been appearing more and more frequently, attempting to gather information about our Primordial God Kingdom.
Over the years, we have captured many of them. Lately, their numbers and strength continue to grow."
His expression was grim.
Truthfully, the Primordial God Kingdom was not the only power in the area. Other powerful nations existed as well.
The five most powerful among them were the Kingdom of Water, Earth, Fire, Metal, and Wood, collectively known as the Five Elements Alliance.
They originally formed this alliance to counter the threat of the Blood God Kingdom, which, in the past, frequently raided and slaughtered cities throughout the region. To protect themselves, the five nations joined forces and developed deep enmity toward the Blood Race.
However, ever since the Lord of the Blood Sea was converted by Gu Chuan, the Blood God Kingdom ceased its invasions and had remained dormant within the Primordial God Kingdom for over a billion epochs.
This unusual behavior was quickly noticed by the rulers of the five nations.
They suspected something monumental had occurred—perhaps an earth-shattering conspiracy was brewing.
To the outside world, the Blood Race were inherently brutal creatures, bloodthirsty and violent. For them to remain peaceful for such a long time was... unnatural.
Instead of reassurance, this only heightened the anxiety of the Five Elements Alliance.
To uncover the truth, their spies constantly infiltrated the territory that once belonged to the Blood God Kingdom, now under the Primordial God Kingdom's rule.
However, in accordance with Gu Chuan's command to keep a low profile, all infiltrators were quietly captured—and not one had ever returned.
"Let them be,"
Chenxi, the World Tree Girl, waved her hand nonchalantly. "The Lord is still in seclusion. Now is not the time to stir up conflict.
If they wish to send spies, let them.
The Nine-Curved Yellow River Formation protects this Kingdom. Even if a Lord of the Universe were to enter, we need not fear. For now, we simply cultivate in peace."
She truly didn't mind.
The reason why no spies ever returned was entirely due to the Nine-Curved Yellow River Formation.
This terrifying formation, laid down by Gu Chuan, could trap even a Medium Universe Lord, not to mention those weaker than a Primordial Chaos Saint.
These spies, unaware of its might, foolishly entered the trap—and were captured without exception.
"Yes, Lord Chenxi."
The Elders nodded in agreement. Truthfully, they too paid little attention to the spies.
They ignored the actions of the five nations not out of arrogance, but because they knew that once Gu Chuan emerged from seclusion, those five kingdoms would be powerless before him.
At this point, every Elder worshipped Gu Chuan as a divine being. They knew it was only thanks to his protection that they could live in such peace and prosperity.
Had this happened in the past, they would've been terrified—mere native tribes could never have stood against Kingdom-level forces.
