Chapter 12604 True Identity!

Chapter 12604 True Identity!

Ye Chen was suspicious, wondering, "Could that figure be some kind of illusion? Or is it really a sculpture?"

He paused for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I apologize for my intrusion, senior."

Having said that, Ye Chen stepped forward, gliding across the water towards the island in the center of the lake.

With Ye Chen's cultivation level, this short distance of just over ten miles should theoretically be traversable in an instant.

Strangely, after he stepped into the Illusory Sea Mirror Pool, it was as if he had stepped into a dreamlike deep sea, and he felt a sense of emptiness and loss.

"not good!"

Ye Chen's expression changed immediately. If it were just a simple impact of the Dream Law, it wouldn't be anything special.

But the problem is, he is still in the Eternal Night Dream Sea, and the dreamlike atmosphere of this place has stirred the Eternal Night Dream Sea!
In an instant, the devouring effect of the Eternal Night Dream Sea intensified, and Ye Chen felt as if there was a giant abyss beneath his feet, constantly swallowing him up.

His body was sinking deeper and deeper into the sea of ​​dreams, and his body was about to disappear piece by piece.

In the midst of the crisis, Ye Chen reacted swiftly, immediately drawing the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword. He gripped the blade with his left hand and pulled hard, instantly cutting his palm and drawing blood. He felt a sharp pain.

The excruciating pain brought Ye Chen back to his senses, freeing him from the impact of the Dream Laws, and the Eternal Night Dream Sea temporarily returned to calm.

"call……"

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, a cold sweat breaking out on his back. If he had reacted even slightly slower, he would already be dead.

The Supreme Law is no joke; the Eternal Night Dream Sea is incredibly powerful, powerful enough to devour Ye Chen himself.

"Heh, is this all the so-called Heavenly Emperor is capable of?"

A hoarse and indifferent laugh echoed from the island.

The figure swayed slightly. Although he couldn't see it clearly, Ye Chen could guess that the other person was staring at him with a very cold and disdainful look in their eyes.

After all, the dreamlike laws flowing within the Illusionary Sea Mirror Pool might be deadly to ordinary people, but they shouldn't pose a threat to someone like Ye Chen, who is an "incarnation of a pillar god."

Even Xiao Xingyun didn't mention any dangers in the Illusionary Sea Mirror Pool, clearly indicating that he also felt that the dangers within the Illusionary Sea Mirror Pool wouldn't harm Ye Chen.

However, what outsiders don't know is that Ye Chen himself is in the deep sea of ​​dreams, where he could easily sink into oblivion.

Ye Chen didn't explain, but bowed slightly to the figure and said:
"It is because my cultivation is not good enough that I have made a fool of myself in front of you, senior."

The man said, "We are both pillar gods, so there's no need to call me 'senior'."

"You're better than me; at least you still remember your own name."

As he spoke, his voice became melancholy and dejected.

Upon hearing these words, Ye Chen knew that the person was indeed Elder Guantian, and his spirits immediately lifted. He said:
"I am now just an avatar, without the power of a pillar god at his peak. You should still address me as a senior."

"Elder Guantian, Xiao Xingyun is in trouble. I only hope that you will come to his rescue."

He got straight to the point and stated his purpose.

Elder Guantian said calmly:

"Life and death are determined by fate, and I will not interfere."

"You may leave; do not disturb my meditation."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was immediately taken aback.

Judging from Elder Guantian's tone, he seemed to have known all along that Xiao Xingyun was in trouble.

However, he didn't seem to intend to help.

"senior……"

Now that Ye Chen had come, he naturally didn't want to leave empty-handed. After a moment's thought, he said...

"You've forgotten your past, forgotten who you are. Perhaps I can help you regain your memories."

Ye Chen didn't resort to moral blackmail; instead, he acted solely based on self-interest.

If he can help Elder Guantian regain his memories, then we can ask him to come out of seclusion.

Ye Chen wields numerous secret techniques for remembering memories. The Goddess of Memory, the Empress of Memory, is also in the Reincarnation Graveyard.

If Ye Chen were to make a move, there might be a chance to restore Elder Guantian's memories.

As expected, upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Elder Guantian was immediately shocked, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "What did you say? You... you can restore my memories?"

Ye Chen didn't make a definitive statement, only saying, "I can try, but I'm not sure about the outcome."

Elder Guantian paused for a moment, then said, "Please come ashore for a meeting."

He had been incredibly cold just moments before, but upon hearing that Ye Chen might be able to restore his memories, his words immediately became polite.

Crash.

The lake water beneath Ye Chen's feet parted, and a dreamlike stone bridge rose up, extending directly from the island in the center of the lake to the shore.

Stepping onto the stone bridge, Ye Chen went straight to the island in the middle of the lake, and the stone bridge sank down again.

He went ashore and met Elder Guantian, an ordinary-looking and plainly dressed old man who seemed to have nothing special about him.

But Ye Chen sensed a very strange and eerie atmosphere!

Elder Guantian was clearly standing in front of him, but he couldn't sense any living presence. The other person was like a ghost, a phantom, or thin air.

No, even if it's an illusion, or just air, it still leaves a trace of existence.

But this Elder Guantian gave people a sense of emptiness, or even "nothingness," as if the concept of "nothingness" did not exist.

Even if he disappeared from the spot in the next instant, Ye Chen would not be surprised.

His intuition told him that the person in front of him did not exist. He even suspected that he was hallucinating and that there was no one in front of him.

Seeing Ye Chen's constantly changing expression, Elder Guantian smiled bitterly and said:
"How about that? Don't you feel like I'm a ghost, without any trace of human presence?"

"Alas, this is because I have forgotten my past, and the traces of my existence are gradually disappearing."

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't exist in this world anymore."

But ironically, I am still alive.

Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason, and secretly asked the Radiant Queen, "Qianzhi, can you see his past?"

The Radiant Empress also frowned deeply and said, "This person is very strange. There seems to be no trace of his existence in the world, and almost all the causes and effects related to him have disappeared."

“I can’t see his past, and I can’t restore his memories.”

Ye Chen said, "Is that so?"

He had originally planned to have the Radiant Queen restore Elder Guantian's memories in order to gain a favor.

But to everyone's surprise, even the Radiant Queen was helpless.

Unable to bear seeing Ye Chen disappointed, the Radiant Queen said, "Give me one night, and I'll think of another way."

Ye Chen's heart stirred. At this moment, Elder Guantian also asked him:

"Emperor Ye, do you have any way to restore my memories?"

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, I'm afraid your amnesia is not easy to cure."

Give me one night, I need to think it over carefully.

Elder Guantian was immediately disappointed and sighed, "So it really isn't working?"

Ye Chen said, "It's too early to draw conclusions now; I need to do some calculations."

Elder Guantian had no choice but to nod.

Ye Chen settled down on the island for the time being. He really wanted to speak with Elder Guantian and discuss the matter of rescuing Xiao Xingyun.

However, judging from Elder Guantian's appearance, he clearly only wanted to recover his memories and had no interest in external affairs.

Even if Ye Chen speaks up, it won't make any difference.

By evening, the Radiant Empress still hadn't come up with a good solution, but good news came from the Nine Yang True Roc's side.

“Father, I have completely dispelled the black mist on the corona bead.”

The Nine-Yang True Roc opened its beak and spat out a brilliant, pure white pearl, radiating incomparably glorious divine light, just like a sun.

It is indeed a corona dzi bead!

Seeing the light of the Corona Dzi Bead restored, Ye Chen was immediately excited and said, "Good boy, you did a good job!"

With the Corona Dzi Bead, Ye Chen can awaken himself from the depths of the dream sea, and he can also awaken Ye Feier!
"Elder Guantian's identity is a mystery. If we can awaken Ye Feier, perhaps she will know his identity."

Ye Chen pondered.

Ye Fei'er is the daughter of the abyss and the embodiment of the night sky. She once reigned high in the heavens, and the night sky was her. She once looked down upon all the heavens and may have met the Elder of the Heavenly Observation and known his identity.

With this in mind, Ye Chen had a clue and immediately offered up his own blood essence to bind the Sun Crown Heavenly Pearl to him.

He possesses the Primordial Divine Remains, Primordial Green Hair, Primordial Spiritual Eyes, Primordial Heavenly Heart, and so on. He inherited many powers from the Primordial Era and also wields the Heavenly Light Divine Water. In fact, he is the Child of Light, and can be considered the "Crown Prince".

Therefore, it was naturally very easy for him to make the Corona Dzi Bead recognize him as its master by dripping his blood.

Having refined the Sun Corona Dzi Bead, Ye Chen held it in his palm as if he were holding a sun. Its vast light shone forth, and its supreme and magnificent power shook the soul.

"Dispel the abyssal black mist!"

Ye Chen used the radiance of the Sun Corona Heavenly Pearl to first disperse the black mist on the spatial divine authority, allowing the spatial divine authority to be used again.

In this way, among Ye Chen's many divine powers, time and space were restored first, giving him an extra trump card to save his life.

However, when Ye Chen used the Corona Bead, he felt a backlash of light, which seemed to be turning him into white light!
This celestial bead carries with it a great calamity of light; it is truly terrifying!
Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine, but then he realized that this whitening was different from the previous ones.

In the past, Ye Chen had encountered the Great Calamity of Light. If he were to be bleached by the calamity, he might completely turn into light and lose everything.

But now, wielding the Corona Dzi Bead, Ye Chen discovered that he could still retain his consciousness!
Even if he turns into light, his spirit and soul remain, his consciousness remains, only his form has changed.

"Is this the primordial way of light?"

"He wants all the heavens and all living beings to become light and merge into his body."

"But he himself still retains consciousness. This is the destruction of all heavens, the only law of my own. There is only my existence in the world, only light. I am the light, and there is nothing else."

"Hell is other people. Without other people, without even heaven and earth, only a ball of light remains, and I can enjoy eternal peace."

Ye Chen muttered to himself, vaguely glimpsing the ultimate Dao of the Primordial Beginning.

In the beginning, he wanted all the heavens and all living beings to become light, and even himself to become light.

However, he retained his consciousness.

He simply wanted to destroy everything, leaving only himself in the world, free from the threat of enemies, and thus achieve eternity.

This is absolutely terrifying!
This celestial bead is a sacred object of light, but also a deadly weapon. It can turn all things in the heavens white, control life and death, and annihilate all people, leaving only oneself in the world, thus granting eternity.

Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine. This Corona Dzi Bead was too terrifying and should never be used lightly.

Heaven and earth have their own rules, and the Great Dao itself would not allow things to go astray in the beginning.

Therefore, using the corona dzi bead is actually going against the will of Heaven!

However, Ye Chen only awakened himself and dispelled some of the abyssal black mist, so it wouldn't cause too much of a causal disturbance.

He continued to activate the Sun Corona Bead, releasing strands of holy light that poured into the Nine Yang True Roc's body to nourish Ye Fei'er.

However, Ye Feier, who was fast asleep, was as if she were already in an abyss. The holy light of the sun released by Ye Chen could not penetrate her body. When it tried to penetrate, it was all expelled.

Ye Feier's body seemed to have a barrier, blocking Ye Chen's light.

Is it the abyss that is resisting?

Ye Chen frowned, pondered for a moment, and then flashed into the belly of the Nine Yang True Roc.

Within the belly of the Nine Yang True Roc, a self-contained space was formed, filled with vast and supremely yang golden light.

Within the boundless golden space, there was a small, pitch-black space.

This was a small space that Ye Feier had created herself. She floated above that dark space, her body curled up like a baby, with a serene expression on her face and a slight smile on her lips, as if she were in a beautiful dream.

Seeing this, Ye Chen thought, "She must have sunk into an abyss of eternal sleep in her dream. I have to rescue her quickly!"

With a thought, Ye Chen activated the Sun Corona Bead again, first gathering a wisp of holy light and bringing it into his mouth.

Then, he walked up to Ye Feier, pried open her chin, and forcibly poured the essence of holy light from his mouth into her body, mouth to mouth.

This forced infusion finally broke through the barrier of the abyss. Ye Feier groaned softly in her sleep, her long eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes, waking up from her deep sleep.

"The Lord of Reincarnation..."

When Ye Feier woke up, the first thing she saw was Ye Chen. She called out softly, rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and looked around. Seeing that she was in a pitch-black space, she was momentarily stunned.
"What's going on? Aren't we at Fairy Pool Paradise?"

When did you put your clothes on?

Ye Feier glanced at Ye Chen, feeling something was off.

Ye Chen patted her cheek and said, "What fairy pool paradise? You're awake now, you're not dreaming anymore."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feier shuddered, exclaimed "Ah!" and stared wide-eyed at Ye Chen, her face instantly turning red with embarrassment.

Ye Chen could read minds, and he immediately saw Ye Feier's mind.

In her heart lies a pure forest, within which sits a clear pool—this is Fairy Pool Paradise.

In this fairy pool paradise, there were only her and Ye Chen. The two of them were naked, playing and chasing each other, spending endless time in the paradise, without any worldly troubles disturbing them.

This is Ye Fei'er's dream.

Ye Chen glimpsed her dream and said with a hint of amusement, "Do you like me that much? You even dream of being with me."

Ye Feier's face flushed red, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Shut up! I just..."

"How can you take things in dreams as reality?"

She swung her fist and slammed it into Ye Chen twice.

At this moment, she was fully awake. With her abilities, she could clearly see the secrets of heaven and knew all the things that had happened during her slumber.

Ye Chen successfully obtained the Yin Source Stone and gave her half of it. Her aura had become much stronger than before.

Ye Chen looked Ye Feier up and down. She was dressed in the night and wore the stars and moon. Her once rather immature figure had become exceptionally full. Clearly, she had grown up a lot after absorbing the Yin Source Stone. She looked like a beautiful young woman of eighteen or nineteen, but she was very well-developed.

Ye Chen said, "Thank you very much. If it weren't for your summoning of the beast tide, I wouldn't have been able to obtain the Yin Origin Stone."

After Ye Feier fell into a deep sleep, Ye Chen still kept his promise and gave her half of the invaluable Yin Source Stone. He also went to great lengths to use the Corona Heavenly Pearl to wake her up.

She felt deeply grateful to Ye Chen and also admired him, but she wouldn't admit it aloud, only saying:
"Consider yourself lucky, and consider yourself to have some conscience by not betraying me, otherwise the darkness would surely devour you!"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "You've grown up, even your mouth has become stubborn."

When Ye Fei'er was a newborn and vulnerable child, she was once afraid that Ye Chen would devour her and abandon her.

Now that she has regained some of her strength, she speaks with more confidence.

Ye Feier snorted.

Ye Chen said seriously, "Alright, let's get back to business. I have something to ask of you."

Ye Feier asked, "What is it? Do you want to know the whereabouts of the Burning Heaven Fragments?"

“I could tell you, but I feel that telling you now would harm you.”

"That thing is too dangerous!"

"Moreover, the place where that thing is located is extremely dangerous!"

When the topic of the Burning Heaven Fragments came up, Ye Feier was also very wary and dared not let her guard down.

The four supreme abyss fragments, the Heaven-Burning Fragment, represent the abyss calamity of purgatory, the embodiment of great disaster, great suffering, and great torment, which once caused the seventy-two pillar gods to suffer to the point of death.

Even the gods coveted this fragment, and a divine war even broke out over it. It was no easy task for Ye Chen to seize it.

Ye Chen did indeed want to obtain the Burning Heaven Fragment. He controlled the Entropy Sin Reincarnation Diagram and needed four Abyss Fragments to complete it.

If the Entropy Sin Reincarnation Diagram could be completed, no, it wouldn't even need to be completed; the Heaven-Burning Fragment itself possesses the power to destroy the world.

Ye Chen naturally wanted to get his hands on such a precious and terrifying fragment.

However, deep down, he also sensed a terrifying danger!

Just as Ye Feier said, there are too many dangerous causes and effects behind the fragments of the Burning Heaven.

Now is not the time to seize the fragments of the Burning Heaven; Ye Chen's mind is very clear.

"I don't have any plans to seize the Fragment of the Burning Heaven for the time being. I just wanted to ask you, who is that Elder Guantian?"

"Have you seen him before? He's an incarnation of a pillar god. You should have seen him, right?"

Ye Chen said.

"Elder Guantian?"

Ye Feier hesitated for a moment, then said, "Take me to see him first."

She also realized that Ye Chen wanted to rescue Xiao Xingyun, and Elder Guantian was the key to breaking the deadlock!
Ye Chen hummed in agreement, then immediately left the belly of the Nine Yang True Roc, returned outside, and went out of the room to find Elder Guantian.

"Elder Guantian—"

Seeing that no one was in the house, Ye Chen strode out and saw that the night was clear, the full moon was in the sky, and the scenery was quite beautiful.

An old man was standing by the lake, scooping something into the water with his hands, muttering to himself.

The old man was none other than Elder Guantian. Ye Chen walked over and asked, "Elder Guantian, what are you doing?"

As he looked, he saw clusters of white flowers drifting along the lake. Half of the lake was covered with these white flowers, radiating a dreamlike glow. They seemed not to be real, but rather like phantoms.

Elder Guantian reached out and scooped up the flower. As soon as he lifted it up, the white flower immediately shattered into tiny, firefly-like specks of white light that drifted away.

Like a mirage, elusive and unpredictable!
"Who am I? Who am I really?"

"These are the flowers I remember, but I didn't plant them."

"Who planted it? Who was that person?"

Elder Guantian muttered to himself, his face full of frustration and pain.

He has lost too many memories and can't remember them no matter what.

"Elder Guantian."

Ye Chen called out again.

Hearing Ye Chen's call, Elder Guantian's spirits lifted slightly. He turned around, his expression hopeful, and asked:

"Emperor Ye, do you have a way to restore my memories?"

Tell me, who am I?

Ye Chen quickly transmitted his voice to Ye Feier, "Feier, have you seen him before? Who exactly is Elder Guantian?"

Ye Feier looked at Elder Guantian, pondered for a moment, and murmured:
"I feel like I've seen this old man before. This ethereal aura of his is also somewhat familiar to me."

"However, I forgot."

Ye Chen said, "You've forgotten? You've lost your memory too?"

Ye Feier helplessly spread her hands and said, "I fell from the sky to the earth, so I must have lost some memories."

"Well, my amnesia isn't as severe as this old man's."

"If I feel something different, I should be able to remember it."

Ye Chen said, "A different feeling? What kind of feeling do you want?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Ye Feier's face flushed red. She coughed lightly and shook her head gently, saying, "It's nothing."

Ye Chen could read minds, and she didn't try to hide her thoughts, so Ye Chen could see what she was thinking.

The kind of excitement Ye Feier wanted was actually quite simple.

Like a dream.

Ye Chen understood and first said to Elder Guantian, "Elder Guantian, please wait here for me for a moment."

Ye Chen returned to his room first, and in a flash, he entered Ye Feier's space.

"Hey, what are you doing in here?"

Ye Feier said somewhat flusteredly.

Without a word, Ye Chen forcefully approached, the two so close they could feel each other's breath, and said:
"You want some excitement, don't you? Is that enough?"

Ye Feier's heart pounded, and she punched Ye Chen twice more, then bit his shoulder, saying, "You bastard, you're messing with my Dao Heart again!"

Ye Chen put his arm around her waist and laughed, "Isn't that enough?"

Ye Feier blushed and pushed Ye Chen away, saying, "Get away from me, don't come near me!"

She originally possessed a pure divinity, but after coming into contact with Ye Chen, her divinity faded, and she gained more humanity.

The troubles of the human heart caused Ye Feier to experience ups and downs. At this moment, she felt weak and powerless, and dared not approach Ye Chen any further.

"So, do you remember now?"

Ye Chen asked seriously.

Ye Feier took several deep breaths, her eyes darting around, before she said somewhat mysteriously:

"That Elder Guantian seems to be the Wushi Daozu, one of the Three Dao Ancestors."

"I remember now, that empty aura must be the Dao Ancestor Wushi."
