Even stronger Primordial beings, those who could annihilate billions of multiverses with a wave of their hand, had only explored a fraction of the Ancient Primordial Realm, with some regions remaining uncharted and their ends never reached.
Fang Ming and numerous humans stepped into the Ancient Primordial Realm.
...
"What's that disturbance?"
Within the Ancient Primordial Realm, a Primordial being was alerted.
As this Primordial being's eyes opened and closed, billions of multiverses perished and were reborn. This was the strongest Primordial being that "Hong" had heard of in the Ancient Primordial Realm.
In a corner of the Ancient Primordial Realm, within a certain region, this being was acknowledged as the strongest Primordial being. As for other regions, due to the vastness of the Ancient Primordial Realm and inconvenient communication, they remained unexplored, and thus, it was unknown if even stronger existences resided there.
At this moment, this being, whose gaze alone could kill three hundred trillion multiverse-level powerhouses, was awakened by a disturbance.
Beside him, another, slightly weaker Primordial being spoke, "It seems someone has transcended from the Chaos."
Transcended?
The previous Primordial being carefully sensed and pondered before reaching a conclusion.
"This fluctuation, I've carefully felt it. It is indeed the fluctuation of transcendence."
"However, this fluctuation is absolutely not something that one or even several individuals could produce. Even a hundred or a thousand people could not create such a commotion."
"The disturbance that reached us, I feel, originates from at least a hundred thousand transcendents."
The number of a hundred thousand transcendents startled the slightly weaker Primordial being.
He said gravely, "How could there be so many transcendents?"
"The highest recorded number of transcendents before was only four simultaneously transcending. Now, in the same moment, there are a hundred thousand transcendents, transcending from the Chaos. This..."
This slightly weaker Primordial being was also very perplexed.
Though he didn't know what was happening, this Primordial being knew that a full hundred thousand transcendents accounted for one-third of all Primordial beings who had transcended in this region over the past three thousand epochs.
This area could only accommodate at most two to three hundred thousand Primordial beings. Now, with a hundred thousand arriving, it was bound to cause conflict with existing powers.
However, the Ancient Primordial Realm was vast and boundless, and Primordial beings were sparse. Those who couldn't afford to offend could simply evade. In the worst-case scenario, they could retreat to other regions. Therefore, the two Primordial beings merely discussed it and then paid it no further mind.
The Ancient Primordial Realm was, after all, a place for solitary cultivators. Most Primordial beings acted independently and were indifferent to shifts in power.
...
A full hundred thousand humans, who had transformed into Primordial beings, gathered together.
Most of them had followed Fang Ming since the genesis of the first worldview, possessing profound combat skills and exceptional intellect.
Although some humans were born in the second and third worldviews after the first, those who managed to cultivate to the Immortal King realm were the cream of the crop among humans.
Now, in the unfamiliar Ancient Primordial Realm, without Fang Ming's command, they began to explore it, drawing upon their past experiences.
Should any situation arise, they would contact each other and had means to deal with it, relieving Fang Ming of much worry.
The Ancient Primordial Realm was boundless, containing many dangerous locales and rare treasures.
Emperor Qingyang discovered a black tower.
Within the tower, there seemed to be unknown, peculiar beings. These were beings possessing Primordial power but lacking sentience, emitting the sounds of beasts' snarls.
Such beings, capable of surviving in the Ancient Primordial Realm, held immense research value.
Emperor Qingyang immediately organized several humans, assigning tasks rationally, to investigate the mysteries of the black tower.
...
Situations like Emperor Qingyang's were commonplace among the hundred thousand humans. Though not always black towers or unknown beasts, they encountered dangerous places, rare treasures, and even explored other Primordial beings.
They used their various specialized skills to seek information within the Ancient Primordial Realm, simultaneously enhancing their own strength.
Once they understood the specific conditions of the Ancient Primordial Realm, their next step would naturally be invasion, subjugation, and dominion.
They gradually integrated into the Ancient Primordial Realm.
The activities of so many Primordial beings within this corner of the Ancient Primordial Realm naturally drew the attention of other Primordial beings.
The fact that one hundred thousand chaotic beings had transcended and transformed into Primordial beings, and that they had suppressed over two hundred Primordial beings with their chaotic forms, was information known to some Primordial beings in this region and unknown to others.
However, whether they knew or not, none dared to inflict any harm upon the humans.
This was because the humans, previously confined to the Chaos, now numbered a hundred thousand transcendents—ten thousand Primordial beings. How could scattered groups of three to five, or generally single-digit, Primordial beings possibly resist them?
Every Primordial being had transcended from the Chaos, having once held absolute authority within it. Having finally transcended to this Ancient Primordial Realm, and in the absence of conflicting interests, who would willingly engage in a life-or-death struggle with ten thousand beings of the same caliber?
They cherished their own lives.
The reason some Primordial beings acted recklessly in the various Chaos realms was simply because they subconsciously did not regard beings in the Chaos as equals, but rather as ants from a lower plane, upon whom they could vent their emotions at will.
Beings of the Chaos could not kill Primordial beings.
But now, the ten thousand humans were no longer beings of the Chaos; they were also Primordial beings, on the same plane. These life-cherishing Primordial beings naturally dared not take any harmful actions against the humans.
Beings of the Chaos were pitiable; until they transcended, they were playthings for Primordial beings.
But once they became Primordial beings, in this vast, sparsely populated Ancient Primordial Realm, where conflicts between Primordial beings were rare and there were no greater interests to incite war among them, it was a relatively safe world.
The most crucial factor was the sparse population, which led to minimal conflicts of interest between Primordial beings, indirectly resulting in peace.
Primordial beings were busy improving their own strength and, feeling bored in this expansive world, would vent their emotions in the Chaos. They would not court death by provoking humans without significant conflicts of interest, thereby ending their own long lives and perishing.
Under this atmosphere of peace.
The human race began to develop anew.
A thousand years passed, then ten thousand years.
Many humans' strength improved, and they gradually ventured out of this region, reaching other areas.
This region only contained eleven-star multiverse-level powerhouses, whereas other regions harbored twelve-star infinite multiverse-level powerhouses.
With Fang Ming's current strength, he was capable of confronting and even annihilating these powerhouses.
Gradually, Fang Ming traversed this vast Ancient Primordial Realm, annihilating several twelve-star infinite multiverse-level Primordial beings.
Ultimately, he found the legendary Primordial Supreme, Dao Hongjun.
