722: Su Chen, Chen Tian, the True Demon of Chaos.
Su Chen's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with doubt. What Realm was this?
Was it because no predecessor had ever reached it?
[Ding! The Host has guessed correctly.]
[The Host only needs to let more than three hundred people know the name of the latest Realm to name it.]
Su Chen nodded. He raised his hand, and infinite time cascaded down.
"Above the Rules... lies the Ancestor God Realm."
His voice spread out, heard by countless people. Everyone in the Myriad Worlds felt a blast in their ears. The voice appeared out of thin air, as if it came from Karma, or as if they had known it all along, making it impossible to trace the voice's Origin.
In an instant, everyone knew.
Above the Rules is the Ancestor God!
Within the Myriad Worlds, those crimson eyes were filled with excitement.
"Hahaha, you've truly stepped into that Realm!"
"A pity... all of this will be mine!"
...The Dark Source.
The aura on Su Chen's body gradually settled. He looked coldly ahead. The Dao Lords within the Dark Source no longer dared to speak, mainly because Su Chen's aura was far too terrifying.
It was simply not something they could withstand.
From just a wisp of aura Su Chen had released earlier, they had felt suffocated. If that wisp had struck them, even as Dao Lords, they would likely have perished instantly.
Inside the Dark Source, a group of Dao Lords were all filled with fear, no longer possessing their former divine might.
"Let him in."
A cold voice rang out from the Dark Source, and terrifying dark power immediately carved out a wide path. Su Chen signaled to those around him not to act rashly, then stepped inside.
Currently, he was incomparably confident.
No matter who it was, he was completely unafraid.
Su Chen wasn't worried at all about the things within the Dark Source.
Unknown Realm!
Ancestor God!
The reason it was unknown was that no one had reached it; thus, in a strict sense, the current Su Chen was the most powerful existence.
Entering the Dark Source and passing through layers of thick black mist, Su Chen felt the aura of countless living beings ahead, along with a faint Power of Time.
Finally.
Su Chen arrived at a palace that towered into the clouds. Below it was a world that could fully rival the top worlds within the Myriad Worlds, even capable of nurturing Cultivators at the Dao Lord level.
It was hard to imagine that such a harmonious and complete world existed within the Dark Source. Aside from being smaller in size, it was in no way inferior to the Myriad Worlds in other aspects.
On a throne within the palace sat a queen dressed in black, wearing a crown. Her gaze was cold and unchanging, as if eternal.
Su Chen looked up; the woman in black was indescribably beautiful, her appearance beyond words. Upon seeing Su Chen, a ripple of emotion actually appeared in her cold, lifeless eyes.
"What... is your name?"
The Black Queen slowly stood up, her expression resolute yet tinged with helplessness and despair. Her dim eyes stared fixedly at Su Chen.
Su Chen spoke: "Su Chen."
As the words fell, the Black Queen's expression changed drastically. Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes, originally full of deathly silence, revealed an extreme sense of helplessness.
She couldn't help but shake her head.
"I didn't expect that after planning for so long, I would still lose."
Su Chen looked at her, bewildered. After a long silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Planning what?"
He didn't really want to ask this, mainly because it made him seem like he lacked style.
Currently, Su Chen had not yet completely assimilated the time outside, so he didn't really understand what had happened in the past.
Once Su Chen truly became the Lord of Time, he would be able to know everything.
The Black Queen sneered, "Are you so proud after winning? Do you still want to humiliate me?"
Obviously, in her view, Su Chen asking such a question was clearly intended to humiliate her. He was the culprit, yet he pretended to know nothing.
Su Chen felt somewhat helpless.
He truly knew nothing.
Hadn't he come to the Dark Source precisely to find out what had happened?
The Black Queen's brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Su Chen in disbelief. "You really can't remember?"
Su Chen's expression didn't seem fake; he truly seemed not to know what had occurred.
Su Chen nodded silently.
Hearing this, the Black Queen was suddenly overjoyed. "It's not over yet! It's not over yet; there's still hope for everything."
Just as Su Chen was about to ask what wasn't over, infinite information suddenly flooded his mind. This information didn't originate from himself, but from... the future, or perhaps the past.
What's going on!
Su Chen's expression changed drastically. He couldn't reject these memories at all; it was as if they had always belonged to him, as if they were one with him. As the memories flooded in, his expression began to contort.
Memories determine a person's Heart-Nature and way of thinking.
The current Su Chen was actually being affected by these memories.
Within the memories, Su Chen saw countless Chaos Gods and Demons, saw Pangu creating the heavens, and saw the Great Dao of Time.
He also saw... himself being born in the darkness, turning into a black shadow attached to the world.
Chaos True Demon!
Was he truly the Chaos True Demon!?
He saw himself intending to devour the entire world, cultivating the Great Dao of Curses to curse all living beings, eventually growing to an unimaginable level.
This was his predecessor!
What that person said was all true!?
A look of solemnity flashed in Su Chen's eyes.
Afterward, Su Chen continuously devoured other Chaos Gods and Demons. Anyone devoured by him would have no past or future, which was why Su Chen hadn't seen other Chaos Gods and Demons when he returned to the upper reaches of time.
Because they had all been eaten by 'himself'.
More and more memories flooded his mind, and Su Chen soon saw new things. He had wanted to devour the entire world, and he had indeed succeeded.
After devouring a portion of the Great Dao of Time, Su Chen could not only use the Great Dao of Time but had also elevated his Dao of Curses to the Rule Realm.
The places that had been devoured were now the areas outside the Myriad Worlds, filled with the power of curses.
Like a leaf eaten by a bug, the current Great Dao of Time had been reduced to a defective product, with only a few places remaining that hadn't been completely devoured.
However, time was not something that could be devoured so easily; it possessed the power of purification. In the end, something went wrong with Su Chen's body. The Demon Spirit and demon body were split into two parts; Su Chen was the demon body, while the person he had seen before was the Demon Spirit.
At the same time... because he was heavily influenced by the Great Dao of Time, he became a protector of the Great Dao of Time, constantly fighting against the Demon Spirit.
As for how this Dark Source came to be, it seemed to be a portion he had snatched from the Demon Spirit's hands—the missing segment of the Immortal Realm's Primordial timeline.
And his original name... was Chen Tian.
The name Su Chen belonged to the True Spirit...
