The Primordial beings they encountered were only a portion of the beings from the ancient Primordial realm, not all of them.
However, the most powerful Primordial beings they were aware of were already at the peak of the multiverse level, possessing the strength to annihilate trillions of multiverses with a mere gesture.
In his normal state, Fang Ming, who had stepped into the realm of Immortal Emperors, was far inferior to such power and could only instantly kill them with his True Dao body.
If there were even more powerful Primordial beings than they knew, they would likely have reached the infinite multiverse level.
Dealing with such beings, where one was vastly inferior in magnitude and further suppressed by a higher plane, was a deadly matter.
Therefore, Fang Ming and a large number of the Human race first needed to change their "plane."
The young Emperor pondered,
"To transform from a chaotic being to a Primordial being, to shift planes, one needs to break free from the period of restraint."
"Originally, this chaos that I opened up had no concept of a period of restraint. Unfortunately, Worldview Number Four encompasses my Worldview Number Three, and on this basis, it forcibly superimposed the period of restraint and the concept of transcendence, leading to the current situation where many Immortal Kings and even stronger beings in the Human Heavenly Court, despite having the qualification to transcend, cannot do so."
"For ordinary Immortal Kings to transcend, it would take tens of billions of years. Even for supreme Immortal King giants, according to their perception, it would take billions of years."
"Quasi-Immortal Emperors have significantly less time, but without at least a hundred thousand years, they cannot ascend."
As for Fang Ming himself?
Even with his strength as an Immortal Emperor, Fang Ming predicted that it would take him three thousand seven hundred and forty-three years to break free from the period of restraint.
This period of restraint was no simple matter.
This was a rule that Worldview Number Four, and essentially the ancient sage Hongjun of the Great Dao, had forcibly imposed on many of the Human race and Fang Ming.
This rule was the gateway from chaos to the ancient Primordial realm.
It seemed to be confined to a single chaos, with the strength of the chaos determining the magnitude of the restraint.
However, this was only one aspect.
The other aspect involved the entire ancient Primordial realm.
This meant that if Fang Ming wanted to forcibly alter this rule, allowing the many strong individuals of the Human race to ascend in an instant, without needing billions or tens of billions of years, he would have to modify not only this chaos but also the ancient Primordial realm.
The magnitude of the ancient Primordial realm was undoubtedly something Fang Ming could not shake.
Previously, Fang Ming had tried with his True Dao body, which operated on the logic of transcendence. He found that he could arbitrarily adjust the temporal points within this chaos, spanning past and future, instantly leaping five hundred billion years. However, this was limited to the time within this chaos and could not encompass the time of the ancient Primordial realm.
He could only accelerate the time within this chaos, which had no effect on shortening the period of restraint.
"Must I honestly wait for billions of years..."
Fang Ming was once again limited by magnitude, rendering many of his methods unusable. Regarding transcendence to the ancient Primordial realm, this period of restraint linked to the ancient Primordial realm left him powerless.
Existing methods were useless.
His only hope was to see if those three Primordial beings had any other solutions.
If they had a method that complied with the rules of the Primordial realm, then it might be useful.
With this thought, the young Emperor left the area and headed towards the three Primordial beings.
...
This was a prison.
An absolute prison constructed from countless universes, designed to suppress the three Primordial beings so completely that they could not exert any strength, rendering them like ordinary mortals.
Ever since the three Primordial beings were suppressed, they had been confined here.
Their memories were frequently extracted from their Primordial souls. Although this extraction was not constant due to the instinctual resistance of the Primordial beings, each extraction yielded significant key memories. This allowed the Human Heavenly Court to acquire a great deal of information, much to the extreme annoyance of the three Primordial beings.
"Damn it! A mere chaotic domain... a mere chaotic domain can suppress us!"
"Beings confined to chaos have managed to defeat us Primordial beings... What a profound disgrace!"
"Listen to us, we have many friends in the ancient Primordial realm. If you don't release us, then..."
A Human soldier standing guard nearby scoffed, "If you're not released, then what?"
"What friends do you have left in the ancient Primordial realm? Friends who would come to save you and simultaneously flatten our Human Heavenly Court?"
"Alright, setting aside whether these friends truly exist and possess such strength, even if they do, have you managed to send out any messages?"
"Without any messages being sent out, even your Primordial friends, no matter how broad their thoughts, would not know that you were defeated by chaotic beings and subsequently suppressed, would they?"
The Human soldier's disdain was not without reason.
It was quite simple. After their defeat, these Primordial beings were suppressed here, their abilities almost entirely sealed, and their memories forcibly read.
Subsequently, when these Primordial beings realized their memories were being extensively read, they reacted in this manner, resorting to threats, and utterly meaningless ones at that.
With their cultivated Dao hearts, could they truly not see that such threats were futile?
They had been defeated, and their future was likely permanent suppression. Should they not simply accept their fate and let go of everything?
Even if they wanted to struggle or escape, they would need to formulate a viable plan. Instead, they spoke in this tone here, issuing threats that were utterly useless and instead sounded like the desperate outbursts of the mentally deficient?
The top chaotic demon gods of the past, when defeated, simply accepted their fate with equanimity.
Why were these Primordial beings, whose cultivation spanned far longer than those top chaotic demon gods, unable to accept their fate with such composure after their defeat?
This was precisely what baffled the Human soldier.
Did becoming a Primordial not require a Dao heart?
How could these so-called Primordial beings who cultivated the Dao of Emotion be like this?
It was as if they were villains issuing idiotic threats.
Was such an idiotic tone appropriate coming from such esteemed Primordial beings?
"According to the numerous memories extracted, Primordial beings are divided into two factions."
"One faction cultivates the Dao of Emotionlessness, never venting emotions, nor having emotions to vent. These are similar to the chaotic demon gods like Immortal Yang Mei and Demon God Xuan Tian of the past."
"The other faction cultivates the Dao of Emotion, emphasizing and focusing on emotions... Could these be side effects of cultivating this path?"
"Is idiocy their Dao heart?"
"The more they cultivate, the more idiotic they become?"
The Human soldier developed his own unique perspective on this phenomenon. After all, it was illogical for beings like these Primordial beings, who had cultivated for so long, to possess such intelligence without a clear explanation.
Attributing it to the Dao they cultivated was undoubtedly the best explanation.
