CHAPTER 828: CHAPTER 762: HEAVENLY PRIDE CONTENDS, ERA REVIVES

The Ancient Divine Domain, also known as the Ancient Emperor Realm, is truly vast as smoke, indescribably grand.

Ye Chen stands on the Ancient God Continent, which, on its own, is comparable in size to the Gulan Continent, also tremendously expansive.

The Ancient God Continent is divided into five Great Domains: East, South, West, North, and Central. Each domain is incredibly vast, with the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain located in the southeast of the continent, spanning the southeast two domains, occupying almost more than one-fifth of the entire continent.

Outside the demon domain lies the vast territories where various clans coexist, mainly the Human Clan, among whom numerous forces of all sizes are interspersed, countless sects, and a myriad of kingdoms and dynasties.

From the super forces that govern the world’s rise and fall to the small sects of a particular domain, they are scattered like stars over this continent, driving the prosperity and development of the Ancient God Continent.

Among them, the Nine Great Empires are super forces, each a powerful force with an ancient heritage and terrifyingly profound energy.

Whether it is the most fertile and central Central Domain or the resource-richest Southern Domain, they are all occupied by these super forces.

The major dynasties and sects are spread indiscriminately across the continent, occupying certain areas.

Naturally, like those dynastic kingdoms, they occupy more regions and resources since they are generally stronger than other sects, with armies of thousands upon thousands of elite soldiers, powerful enough to decimate ordinary sects.

Therefore, every established dynastic kingdom is fearsomely powerful and extraordinary.

Of course, the jungle law of the weak being the prey of the strong applies everywhere, be it the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, the Gulan World, or the Ancient God Continent.

Almost every day, forces are obliterated, but new ones are born, cycling like this.

Only the Nine Great Empires have persisted throughout the ages without being destroyed, whereas equally powerful ancient empires have perished, and no force can last eternally.

The history of the Ancient God Continent is immensely long and prosperous, reputed to host a hundred nations and thousands of sects coexisting.

Simply hearing Miss Ke’er and others mention it, even though Ye Chen had long known of the complexity of the Ancient Divine Domain, he couldn’t help but be astonished by its might, far surpassing the Gulan World.

One must know that the Gulan World had at most the forces of Holy Sects and the two nations of Gulan and Lan, with a few Heavenly Kings, but the Ancient God Continent is much stronger, with nine great ancient Empires established in the most chaotic and bloody era of the Ancient Era, lasting till now, enormously powerful, and each with Heavenly Kings surpassing reincarnation in command.

Furthermore, the Nine Great Ancient Empires are merely the visible super forces, whereas secretly, there seem to be super forces not inferior to these ancient Empires, also governing the world’s rise and fall, incredibly powerful.

"The Nine Great Empires of the Ancient God Continent, eternal across ages, eternally immortal, naturally incomparably powerful, at least with peerless figures in the Heavenly King Realm holding fort." Miss Ke’er said crisply, "They govern the winds and clouds of the world, dominate worldly fluctuations, who can compete, and who can vie for supremacy?"

Ye Chen roughly understood the extraordinariness of the Nine Great Empires but did not take much to heart, immediately inquiring about the youth competition, a topic he was indeed keenly interested in.

"Young Master Qian, weren’t you sent by your master to participate in the competition? How come you aren’t clear about this." Miss Ke’er opened her red lips slightly, appearing a bit surprised and inquiring.

Others also looked perplexed, Young Master Qian appeared to lack quite some common knowledge about the Ancient Divine Domain.

Ye Chen feigned a helpless smile: "My master didn’t mention anything, just told me to leave the Cultivation Cave Mansion after coming out from closed-door cultivation, to participate in the youth competition, and since childhood, I have been absorbed in cultivation, having truly little contact with the outside world."

Upon hearing this, several people didn’t doubt it, and Miss Ke’er’s eyes bore a trace of pity, then kindly explained to Ye Chen.

The so-called youth competition is a centennial grand event, a pinnacle gathering of the top young elites across the domains of the Ancient God Continent, and also a conference to determine the strongest among the younger generation.

Each iteration of the youth competition is hailed as the grandest gathering under the heavens, world-boiling, countless young prodigies vying to shine and compete to be the first of the same generation.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the youth competition six months later is hailed as the most prosperous and intense iteration ever.

Because the great era has revived!

This is the most evident change.

The Ancient God Continent, throughout the ages, naturally developed to be extraordinarily prosperous and powerful, far surpassing the Gulan Continent.

Even throughout the ages, there have been world-shaking supreme powers born, shaking the ancient and modern, commanding the heavens, overlooking the Ancient God Continent, acclaimed supreme for ages.

However, the cultivation environment of the past was inferior to now because the world always harbored a particular suppression affecting beings’ cultivation and also affecting nature’s spiritual energy, leading to the accidental birth of ancient great powers.

Moreover, the world’s suppression meant that even Divinity Transformation used to be considered a mighty hero, while Saints could be called one of the masters of the vast continent, dominating worldly fluctuations.

The emergence of Heavenly Kings was a rare occurrence.

But compared to now, the difference is vast.

Since the abnormal changes in the world three hundred years ago, the great era has fully revived, Daoism emerged, the whole world seemed to rejuvenate overnight, overflowing with abundant spiritual energy.

Heaven and Earth Dao no longer suppressed people, entering a new and gratifying golden age.

In merely three hundred years, the Ancient God Continent witnessed the birth of countless strong individuals, and numerous powers rose, with a hundred sects and great nations surging in this prosperous situation.

All supreme powers who previously struggled with the world’s suppression to breakthrough have burst forth relentlessly in these three hundred years, moving forward courageously, breaking past old shackles, surpassing the past, continuously achieving breakthroughs.

All those who achieved the Saintly Treasure Realm in the past have ascended rapidly over these three centuries, nearly reaching Heroic Lord Level, and the outstanding ones even becoming Saint Master Level existences, extremely proud.

The world no longer suppresses as it did, the Saintly Treasure Realm, which was an overwhelming shackle akin to a plane world or special world, hard to breakthrough but has loosened significantly over these three centuries, enabling many who remained at the Peak of Divinity and even Super Divinity to become Saints over the past three centuries.

Similarly, within these three centuries, the young generation of prodigies did not initially explode as imagined but only in the last few decades has there been a comprehensive explosion after three hundred years of accumulated bloom.
