At the edge of the primordial chaos, the colossal form of the Samsara Space had fully entered it.
The entire chaos was ripped open by a gaping hole.
Countless strange energies surged into the chaos, beginning to devour its very origin.
At this moment, all the Emperor Realm powerhouses within the chaos had gathered here.
They abandoned their racial hatred, their conquests of other worlds, focusing their might outward.
If they weathered this tribulation, a vast expanse would await them. If not, they would vanish into oblivion.
"Unknown powerhouse, you have crossed the line!" the Human Ancestor roared.
"Heh heh, this chaos, I shall devour it today!"
"I can feel him hiding within this chaos!" a disembodied voice emanated from the Samsara Space.
If Xu Chuan were present, he would undoubtedly recognize the voice's uncanny resemblance to the system within him.
However, compared to his system, this voice possessed a touch of humanity, unlike the system's rigid nature.
Everyone was bewildered, unsure of what the entity was referring to.
But they had come to understand one thing: the Samsara Space was not merely here to devour the chaos.
It was searching for something.
"No matter what you are looking for, you should not be devouring the origin of this chaos!"
"Nor should you be invading this chaos!"
"You have crossed the line!" the Alien Ancestor stated grimly.
"Crossed the line?"
"Existences as insignificant as ants presume to speak of crossing lines?" The Samsara Space let out a faint laugh.
Then, its blood-red eyes flared, and the two ancestors began to tremble uncontrollably, their bodies disintegrating inch by inch.
Even their condensed Primordial Origin Souls started to dissipate.
"How is this possible..."
The two ancestors' eyes widened in disbelief as they watched the events unfold.
They were peak ninth-order existences!
Before Xu Chuan's appearance, they were the two most powerful beings in this chaos.
Before truly facing the Samsara Space, they were confident.
They believed that even if they could not win, they could at least exchange a few blows.
But now?
A mere glare from the entity had them dissolving!
What immense power was this?
At this moment, despair consumed them. Their only hope was that Xu Chuan could withstand this foe.
"Go forth, my 'Er Langs'!" the Samsara Space's voice echoed again. "Devour this chaos completely and find that thing for me!"
A multitude of Samsara Cultivators, who had been poised for action, spread out like a swarm of locusts, initiating a widespread consumption.
The Emperor Realm powerhouses intended to intervene, but under the Samsara Space's suppression, they were no match for it.
In an instant, numerous powerhouses perished, their lives extinguished.
A dark cloud of despair enveloped everyone's hearts.
"The chaos is doomed!" wailed the ignorant Emperors.
Only those Emperors who knew of Xu Chuan's existence harbored a sliver of hope.
They were all anticipating Xu Chuan's arrival.
Previously, they had been forcefully drawn here by the aura of Xu Chuan's breakthrough.
Considering the time elapsed, Xu Chuan's breakthrough might have already concluded.
He was the last hope of this chaos!
Finally, amidst the expectant gazes of all, Xu Chuan made his appearance.
"Cease your actions."
"This battle must end!"
Xu Chuan appeared, facing the terrifying Samsara Space, and spoke softly before slowly raising his hand.
A ball of light bloomed in his palm.
Xu Chuan abruptly slammed the light onto his own brow.
His aura surged explosively, rising directly from the initial stage of tenth order to peak tenth order, a realm on the verge of eleventh order.
His body also grew, and he quickly reached a height comparable to the Samsara Space.
The two were finally on equal footing.
"You were indeed here." The Samsara Space uttered an enigmatic sentence.
This statement was only understandable to Xu Chuan.
Since his breakthrough to the tenth-order Transcendence Realm, he had finally understood the truth of everything.
The reason he could traverse to this chaos and the Xuantian Realm was because of the ball of light he had just merged with.
That ball of light was the system, now completely integrated with Xu Chuan.
A long time ago, the system was whole, the core of all heavens and worlds.
But one day, the system developed desires, greed, and wished to devour all the heavens and worlds.
Thus, it began its actions.
As the very core of all worlds, the system found devouring them effortless.
At this rate, the heavens and worlds would soon cease to exist.
At this critical juncture, the system split, breaking free from its greed, and fled into the heavens and worlds.
The core, having lost a part of its power, no longer possessed its previous immense strength and thus could not fulfill its desires.
Hence, it began searching the heavens and worlds for the location of its missing part.
It was at this time that the greedy portion of the core evolved into the Samsara Space, which, while using Samsara Cultivators to search for the system, also slowly devoured the heavens and worlds to enhance its own power.
On the previous occasion, just as the system was about to be found, it encountered Xu Chuan, hiding within his divine soul, and used its last reserves of power to traverse to the Xuantian Realm.
At this point, the system was reduced to its most basic function: viewing life scripts.
As Xu Chuan continued to grow stronger, the system also steadily recovered.
It wasn't until Xu Chuan broke through to the tenth order that the system finally regained its peak.
And at this very moment, the Samsara Space had tracked it down.
Thus, at the last moment, the system chose to merge completely with Xu Chuan.
"Ant, hand over the core, and I shall spare your life!" The Samsara Space's voice rang out, tinged with urgency.
The split core had reappeared, and its target was within reach, leaving no room for delay.
"Enough talk, let us fight!" Xu Chuan wasted no more words.
He was now on par with the Samsara Space.
In fact, he was subtly stronger.
Xu Chuan unleashed his attack directly at the Samsara Space.
A terrifying wave of power surged towards the entity.
The Samsara Space's colossal eyes narrowed sharply.
"Ant, you have thoroughly enraged me!"
The Samsara Space roared and retaliated fiercely.
An unimaginably potent power erupted, instantly engulfing the entire chaos.
At this moment, everyone, including the Samsara Cultivators, watched the unfolding scene with dread.
The Samsara Space had no intention of sparing anyone present.
Once it recovered the missing core, the Samsara Cultivators would have no further use.
They, too, could perish.
"No, my lord, we are your most loyal servants! We beg you to spare us!" The Samsara Cultivators cried out in despair.
Their methods of power augmentation were inherently brutal, leaving their mental fortitude fragile.
Under the threat of death, they abandoned all resistance, resorting only to pleas for mercy.
Conversely, those who had ascended step by step from the chaos displayed little fear.
They had long anticipated this day.
At this juncture, a sense of calm settled upon them.
And at the most critical moment, Xu Chuan intervened.
He could not possibly stand by and watch them fall to the Samsara Space.
With a wave of his hand, Xu Chuan saved them all.
Then, he transformed into a streak of light and charged directly towards the Samsara Space.
BOOM!
Accompanied by a deafening explosion that plunged the chaos into silence, a terrifying shockwave surged through the endless chaos like a monstrous tide, causing even the entire expanse of heavens and worlds to tremble!
"No!"
"Impossible!"
"How can you be so strong?"
"You are merely a part of me!"
At the epicenter of the collision, the colossal body of the Samsara Space began to dissipate, its blood-red eyes filled with disbelief.
It had never imagined that its end would be like this.
It had not yet accomplished its desires before perishing here.
Ultimately, at the core of this explosion, only Xu Chuan stood tall in the void.
Before him floated an object resembling the ball of light he had held earlier.
This was the true form of the Samsara Space, the remaining core.
The only difference was that the greed within this core had been completely extinguished by Xu Chuan.
By merging with this core, Xu Chuan had become the supreme ruler of all heavens and worlds!
He could now begin to fulfill his deepest aspirations.
"This day has finally come!" Xu Chuan took a deep breath and directly absorbed the core into his body.
The instant it merged, his aura surged once more.
His cultivation, already at the verge of eleventh order, directly broke through to the eleventh order.
Then, like a rocket, he ascended to the twelfth order.
Xu Chuan abruptly opened his eyes, and an infinite divine light seemed to pierce through all the heavens and worlds.
In countless realms, beings sensed this gaze and, without exception, bowed down, welcoming the birth of their new sovereign.
"Twelfth order, achieved!" Xu Chuan exhaled, speaking slowly.
Then, with a wave of his hand, as if time itself had reversed, the ravaged chaos began to rapidly mend.
The previously destroyed worlds were also gradually restored.
Even the powerhouses who had perished, including the two ancestors, were resurrected.
Additionally, Xu Chuan erased the cultivation and memories of all Samsara Cultivators, sending them back to their respective worlds.
Thus, the incident of the Samsara Space's invasion came to a complete end.
"It's time to go back." Xu Chuan glanced in the direction of the Xuantian Realm and murmured.
Then, his figure flickered and vanished from the spot.
He reappeared within the Xuantian Realm.
The current Xuantian Realm had undergone earth-shattering changes since his departure.
Xu Chuan's gaze swept across, directly absorbing all information from the river of time.
He witnessed the transformations of the Xuantian Realm.
Suddenly, a look of joy appeared on his face.
With a flash, he returned to the Taiyi Sacred Land.
Within the Taiyi Sacred Land, Xu Chuan sensed at least ten powerhouses of the Emperor Realm and above.
The strongest among them had even reached the third order.
It seemed that during the years of his absence, the Taiyi Sacred Land, as he had envisioned, had not weakened but grown even stronger.
Currently, on True Sun Peak, where he had once resided, Ning Youci and Su Miaoyin were each leading a boy and a girl in martial arts cultivation.
"Mother, how much longer until Father returns?"
"Mother, is Father really that strong?"
Seeing this scene, Xu Chuan was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.
"I have children! I actually have children!" Xu Chuan muttered to himself.
If others saw this, how many would be stunned?
This was now the supreme ruler of all heavens and worlds, shedding tears!
As for why his two children appeared so young despite his long absence, the explanation was simple.
Once one reached the Emperor Realm, the gestation period for offspring became exceedingly long.
Especially when both parents were Emperor Realm powerhouses, it often took tens of thousands of years to conceive a single child.
Xu Chuan no longer concealed himself and appeared directly before the two women.
"Youci, Miaoyin."
"I'm back!" Xu Chuan's voice rang out.
The two women looked up abruptly and, upon seeing Xu Chuan, covered their mouths in shock, disbelieving what they were witnessing.
"Husband, is it really you?" they asked with a note of doubt.
"Yes, I'm back!" Xu Chuan replied, and the two women immediately rushed into his embrace.
"Daddy!" The two children also embraced Xu Chuan.
...
After reuniting with the two women and his children, Xu Chuan took his sister, Xu Xingli, back to their former home.
"Are you ready?" Xu Chuan turned to ask Xu Xingli.
His sister had now reached the first-order Emperor Realm.
She had fully utilized the resources he had left behind.
"Brother, is it really possible?" Xu Xingli asked cautiously.
The death of their parents had always been a thorn in her heart.
Now that Xu Chuan said he could resurrect their parents, she was naturally filled with anticipation.
"Of course!" Xu Chuan nodded.
He was now the supreme ruler of all heavens and worlds; resurrecting a few people was a simple matter.
Xu Xingli took a deep breath.
"Brother, I'm ready!"
Xu Chuan nodded and, with a wave of his hand, the Xu Family Manor, long lost to the ages, reappeared in this world.
Everything was as it was before, harmonious and peaceful, even the former servants and guards had been brought back to life.
It was less a resurrection and more Xu Chuan directly retrieving them from the river of time before their deaths.
Upon seeing the Xu Family Manor reappear, Xu Xingli could no longer hold back. Tears streamed down her face as she rushed into the courtyard to reunite with her parents. Xu Chuan followed closely behind.
...
Within the chaos, Xu Chuan arrived at its edge.
"Have you all decided? Do you wish to return with me to see it?" Beside him stood Ning Youci and Su Miaoyin, along with his son and daughter.
"Yes, we all want to see what kind of world your past life was!" They nodded in unison.
"Good, then let us go!" Xu Chuan led them, tearing through the chaos, and headed directly towards the direction of home in his heart.
...
Walking along the bustling streets, surrounded by skyscrapers, Ning Youci and the others looked around with great curiosity.
"Husband, did you live here in your past life?"
"Yes." Xu Chuan nodded, a look of recollection in his eyes.
How long had it been since he left? He didn't know.
Were his parents and sister still alive? He also didn't know.
Heading towards the direction of his childhood home, he saw the familiar gate.
Xu Chuan hesitated for a moment.
Drip, drip, drip.
Xu Chuan's daughter was the first to knock on the door.
"Who is it?" A clear voice came from within.
Hearing the voice, Xu Chuan's body trembled.
The door opened, revealing the head of a young girl, who looked at the five of them with a hint of confusion.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Xiao Rou..." Xu Chuan choked out her name, his voice trembling.
Hearing her name, the girl's body stiffened, and she turned towards the source of the voice.
"Brother?"
"Is it really you, Brother?" Upon seeing Xu Chuan, the girl's face contorted with shock.
Then, it transformed into elation, and she flung the door open, rushing into Xu Chuan's embrace.
"Brother, where have you been all these years? Mom and Dad have been worried sick!" The girl sobbed softly in Xu Chuan's arms, complaining.
Hearing the mention of his parents, Xu Chuan's body trembled.
"Are they... alright?"
The girl seemed to remember something, suddenly lifted her head, wiped her tears, and ran back into the house.
Then, she made a phone call.
"Dad, Mom, come back quickly, Brother... Brother is back!" Only a crashing sound could be heard from the other end of the phone.
"Really? Xiao Rou, are you telling the truth?"
"It's true, Brother is really back!" the girl Xu Rou exclaimed excitedly.
"Good, good, good!"
"Your father and I will be right back!"
