Chapter 3065: Collective Revival

At the edge of the Taigu.

The Nü Di remained like an ice sculpture, a hint of regret lingering for many days: when she first entered the unknown domain, she had left too hastily and should have stayed longer.

There were no rules inside; this realization only dawned on her after she emerged. No one understood better than she did the true meaning of the absence of rules.

Precisely because of this, she had sent Ye Chen in, a massive gamble. Ye Chen might die, but it would be absolutely worthwhile.

Now, she only needed to wait for Ye Chen and the successive generations of supreme beings to return. Once their lifespans were restored, she could resume her guard.

And she herself could re-enter the unknown domain to accomplish all the things she had previously left undone but might now be able to achieve.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

In the unknown domain, the buzzing sounds continued, emanating from the bodies of the supreme beings. Their physical forms were so powerful that every tremor produced a resonant hum.

Looking at them now, their faces glowed with vitality; no longer white-haired and frail, their once cloudy old eyes had become clear and profound due to the restoration of their lifespans. Dao essences were evolving within them, and their previously hunched backs now stood straight like monuments. Their vital energy was no longer depleted; instead, it surged like a vast sea, enveloping their bodies in divine light. The male supreme beings exuded an aura that could swallow the eight wastelands, while the female supreme beings radiated unparalleled elegance, all restored to their former divine states.

The divine generals were the same, their white hair gone and their blood energy thriving. With their lifespans restored, they were full of life and energy, leaping about energetically. Some of the most outstanding among them even showed signs of achieving enlightenment on the spot.

Among those who had not yet achieved enlightenment as divine generals, there was a Tian Di who advanced to Zhun Huang, a sight that made even Ye Chen turn his head in surprise.

"Shennong."

Ye Chen murmured, recognizing that Tian Di and knowing his background. His name was Yi Qi, affiliated with the ancient heavenly court, a great general among great generals. In terms of seniority, even the heavenly court Nü Di and the divine Zun would have to address him as "senior uncle."

To say he had advanced to Zhun Huang wasn't entirely accurate. Shennong had originally been a Zhun Huang emperor, but during the great battle against the heavens, he suffered irreparable injuries, causing his cultivation to fall. For endless ages, he had guarded the primordial Taigu, his life force dwindling to nothing.

Now, he had simply returned to his former level, benefiting from the restoration of his lifespan and the healing of certain wounds, granting him this heaven-defying fortune.

But Shennong wasn't the only outstanding one; there was also the Zun Wang of the heavenly court. Zun Wang was his dao title, and his real name was Qing Shang, another supreme being of legendary status.

Unlike Shennong, Zun Wang had regressed in level. He had originally been a Zhun Huang emperor, but due to a momentary lapse, he dropped to the peak of Tian Di. The term "outstanding" here could be taken with a grain of salt.

"Old Zun head, you're one of a kind!"

Xuan Di smirked, as if to say, "We're all Tian Di pushing desperately toward Zhun Huang, and here you are, dropping back down. How interesting."

"Got tired of Zhun Huang and decided to relax at Tian Di level? Can't I?"

Zun Wang glanced over.

With that remark, his aura shot up impressively. Across the upper and lower epochs, he was the only one bold enough to say such a thing, and no one else could match his audacity.

However, Ye Tian Di saw it clearly: no one would deliberately lower their cultivation without reason. Zun Wang's move was likely a new path, aiming to return to Tian Di and undergo nirvana.

Just wait—before long, Zun Wang would become a Zhun Huang emperor again, and even stronger than before.

Hee-hee-hee!

The little one's giggles never stopped, still sounding childish and adorable. Having devoured that divine dragon and that white tiger, it was now toddling after a phoenix with an illusory movement technique that even Zhun Huang emperors couldn't match.

"So cute."

The little one laughed with pure joy, its chubby, pink face making all the female supreme beings feel a surge of maternal affection. If not for fear that it would eat whatever it saw, most of them would have rushed over to pinch its cheeks and poke its belly.

But the scene that followed was quite something else. The little tyke climbed onto the phoenix and started chomping away, bite by bite. It wasn't just unsettling to watch—it was downright chilling.

As Ye Chen had said earlier, it wasn't that it looked fearsome; what was scary was that something so adorable was doing something so brutal.

"Is that little thing really that tough?"

The Dou Zhan Sheng Huang stroked his chin, his fiery golden eyes gleaming. He seemed tempted to go over and test it himself, not believing the little one could withstand a strike from his staff.

In fact, he did go over.

When he came back, he was sent flying horizontally. His heaven-shattering staff strike, capable of smashing a hundred thousand mountains, met an awkward end when it hit the little one's head, sending him tumbling through the air.

From then on, the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang behaved himself. His staff had shattered, and even his arm was left with blood and bones flying everywhere.

The other emperors didn't pull stunts like that; they were all gazing into the vast expanse, scrutinizing this unknown domain. With no rules, there was so much they could do.

If possible, and without the little one causing chaos, they all wanted to stay here for tens of thousands of years—after all, they couldn't die here.

Hee-hee-hee!

Accompanied by laughter, the little one returned.

Ye Chen saw it coming and once again manifested a phoenix with his dao laws, this one colorful and dazzling.

But the little one ignored it, darting like a streak of light straight to Donghua Nü Di, its big eyes blinking curiously.

Compared to the illusory phoenix, this woman in front of it seemed to be a real phoenix.

No one knew if it was out of curiosity or because Donghua Nü Di was just too beautiful, but the little one reached out and touched Yue Shang's cheek.

"I've calculated it: Donghua's being flirted with."

Gui Di stroked his chin, his tone full of implication. Honestly, he'd wanted to do the same for a while, but Donghua Nü Di was too formidable—he was afraid of getting beaten.

"They should have brought Di Huang along too."

Xuan Di crossed his arms. If Di Huang were here, he'd probably grab the little one and give it a good talk about life.

"I'm really curious—who are its parents?"

Many of the veteran supreme beings crowded around, examining the little one up close from every angle. What kind of parents could produce such a prodigy, one that eats everything in sight and seems afraid of nothing?

As for Donghua Nü Di, she was both amused and bewildered, unsure what the little one meant by touching her face. Was it really flirting? Nah, it was just too cute for that.

Of course, it wasn't flirting.

Ye Chen saw it clearest: the little one was just scouting for a spot to bite. Just wait—it was about to start chomping.

As expected, since it had been here before, Ye Tian Di's guess was spot on. As it touched, it leaned in and opened its mouth to bite.

"That's enough—go cool off over there."

Kui Niu Di grabbed the little one from behind and tossed it far away. This bull might not always be reliable, but he wasn't foolish. The chubby little thing wasn't as harmless as it looked—it was vicious. If Donghua Nü Di stood still, it could eat her clean.

The little one was quick, though, swerving in a circle and coming right back, completely ignoring the illusory phoenix Ye Chen had created. It had its eyes set on Donghua Nü Di.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing something off. This little one wasn't static.

It might lack true intelligence, but the longer outsiders stayed here, the smarter and more dangerous it became.

When they first entered, they could still lure it with manifestations of dao laws, like the divine dragon and white tiger.

But now, that clearly wasn't working anymore. It preferred the real deal, knowing which was tastier.

So, the little one was evolving because of the outsiders. The longer they stayed, the cleverer and more terrifying it got, eventually devouring everything except itself.

Ye Chen was certain that it wouldn't be long before the little one targeted him again. Compared to Donghua Nü Di, he—a peak Tian Di level sacred body—was the real delicacy.
