Chapter 1362: Chapter 1362: Primordial Heaven, Primordial Divine Dynasty

“A transmission that transcends time and space, as if destined to arrive.”

Chu Yuan appeared within the Divine Dynasty.

Such an immense distance, even for him, would typically require an extensive amount of time. Yet, the opening of the Gate of Transmission occurred in merely an instant.

“Fire Ancestor, we must leave immediately!”

Chu Yuan did not delay for even a moment.

Through time-space traversal, Chu Yuan’s form transformed into a portal of time and space, radiant light condensing into a torrent of particles. He traversed within the fabric of time and space, shattering spatial boundaries with unfathomable speed.

Following the location indicated by the Fire Ancestor.

For ordinary Deities of the Heavenly Dao who are not proficient in the Path of Time-Space, it would take hundreds of years to reach–much farther than a journey to Hell.

Even Chu Yuan, using his own traversal ability, required one or two decades, which highlighted the staggering vastness of this distance.

It must be acknowledged that his strength was already terrifying, and he had mastery over time and space–the very principles of portals that excelled in traversing the void.

His speed surpassed even some at the fifth realm of the Heavenly Dao.

“Divine Emperor, my Fire Realm lies within Primordial Heaven!”

Chu Yuan constantly absorbed primordial energy from the multiverse to sustain the existence of the Fire Ancestor.

“Primordial Heaven, I have heard of it.”

While traversing, Chu Yuan engaged in conversation. “An ancient realm, said to have been created by beings of unparalleled greatness. However, that was a very long time ago, even predating the archaic era–it belonged to the era before that.”

“The Primordial Divine Dynasty had three supreme beings: the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, the Emperor of the Primordial Divine Dynasty, and the grand commander of the militaries, Lord Taihong, along with the administrator of internal affairs, Taiyi Celestial Venerable, known for his expertise in crafting elixirs and Divine Artifacts!”

The Fire Ancestor said, “Each of these three stood as eternal legends, far mightier than I, perched atop the summit of primal divinity!”

“Yet, even a dynasty so immensely powerful and magnificent vanished under mysterious circumstances.”

Time-space traversal, calculated in years, was monotonous, so Chu Yuan conversed with the Fire Ancestor along the way.

“Indeed, the Primordial Divine Dynasty disappeared.”

The Fire Ancestor lamented, “I never witnessed the era when the Primordial Divine Dynasty ruled the heavens. By the time I arrived at Primordial Heaven, the dynasty had already disappeared, leaving behind only Primordial Heaven. But I know that the Primordial Divine Dynasty was extraordinarily strong–its status was analogous to the mortal heavens of the archaic era, and the Primordial Heavenly Emperor was akin to the Supreme Human Emperor of that time!”

The history of the multiverse was unfathomably long.

Based on Chu Yuan’s current epoch and looking back, the archaic era–marked by the ages of contention among the Human Emperors–was already ancient.

Further back than that was the Primordial Divine Dynasty.

The Fire Ancestor’s existence spanned the period between the fall of the Primordial Divine Dynasty and the archaic era.

“What role does the Heaven of the Gods play in all this?”

The Heaven of the Gods, which pervaded one era after another, piqued Chu Yuan’s curiosity.

“When I visited Primordial Heaven, I sought the reason for the disappearance of the Primordial Divine Dynasty. It seemed they had touched some kind of taboo–the Primordial Heavenly Emperor tried to establish an eternal and indestructible Primordial Epoch but encountered catastrophe.”

The Fire Ancestor’s tone grew heavy. “Perhaps the Supreme Human Emperor of the archaic era suffered for similar reasons. Touching a taboo, attempting to shatter some universal law, led to their annihilation.”

“Conformity ensures survival; rebellion results in obliteration.”

Chu Yuan said coldly.

The stronger one becomes, the deeper their understanding of the multiverse’s secrets grows.

“What do you know about Taiyi Celestial Venerable?”

Chu Yuan asked again.

His Taiyi Pill Furnace had also been crafted by the Taiyi Celestial Venerable.

However, after undergoing continuous upgrades and modifications by the system, its form had long deviated from its original design, becoming unrecognizable.

“Lord Taihong oversaw the Divine Dynasty’s military campaigns, while Taiyi Celestial Venerable managed its internal administration. His most renowned skill was alchemy. Heavenly Dao Elixirs and even Primordial Godly Pills were within his ability to concoct.”

The Fire Ancestor replied, “I never encountered Taiyi Celestial Venerable. Some say he perished; others claim he still lives. In my era, I heard rumors of someone meeting Taiyi Celestial Venerable and receiving boundless fortune from him.”

Chu Yuan had also investigated Taiyi Celestial Venerable in the past.

He seemed to have reappeared briefly in the archaic era but then vanished without a trace.

“Enough of this for now. It’ll still take some time to reach Primordial Heaven.”

Chu Yuan said.

“I can sense it. They haven’t yet breached the core. I hid the Fire Realm in an extraordinarily secretive location, yet someone still managed to discover it!”

The Fire Ancestor sensed with concern.

After nearly twenty years of intense time-space traversal, Chu Yuan finally reached Primordial Heaven.

The Primordial Divine Dynasty, an existence of unfathomable power and antiquity, with its three Sovereigns stationed at the pinnacle of the universe.

The vastness of Primordial Heaven surpassed even that of the Grand Ocean Heaven and True Sun Heaven that Chu Yuan had encountered. Only the Heaven of the Gods or Hell Heaven could rival its enormity.

“The Fire Realm is deep within space-time!”

Swish! Chu Yuan instantly opened the spatial layer. Dangerous currents of time and space flowed ceaselessly, innumerable layers of spatial fabric piled haphazardly like a chaotic mille-feuille, obscuring all sense of order.

Within the depths of space, such regions naturally made for ideal hiding places for treasures.

In the distant past, the Fire Ancestor created a Fire Realm and concealed it within a hidden layer of space-time. For a primal divine being of his caliber, such efforts rendered it exceedingly difficult to detect.

“It’s there!”

The Fire Ancestor directed.

Chu Yuan peeled away one layer of dimension after another, quickly revealing a domain resembling an abyssal rift. It was enshrouded in wild turbulence and dim, lifeless shadows.

Similar domains were plentiful in the depths of the void, situated within alternate dimensions.

The Nine Abyss Overlord, for example, had created such a dimension.

Though concealed, nothing was ever truly absolute. Some Heavenly Dao Deities delighted in treasure hunting within alternate dimensions, seeking the relics left behind by ancient existences.

This was how the Fire Ancestor’s realm was discovered as well.

“The Fire Realm has been located.”

Chu Yuan stepped into the dimension.

Deep within this alternate dimension, Chu Yuan’s gaze swept across. Amid his sight, faint traces of red radiance emanated, emanating from crystalline stones resembling Star Cores, shrouded in a dense aura of decay.

“Divine Emperor, these crystals are no treasures but carry mists venomous enough to corrode even the Heavenly Dao. Ordinary Heavenly Dao Deities touching them would see the River of the Heavenly Dao suffer catastrophic damage.”

The Fire Ancestor explained.

Chu Yuan nodded slightly.

Plucking one casually, he immediately felt the corrosive aura rising. However, he tossed it directly into the Gate of Curses, where its decay was swiftly consumed by the Curse King.

“The curse has grown stronger.”

Chu Yuan said indifferently.

“I see the Fire Realm.”

Chu Yuan’s eyes fell upon the Fire Realm.

The Fire Realm was a broken dimension, fallen into a secluded region of alternate time-space–its entire world decaying and splintering, devoid of any mystical grandeur.

“No wonder it was discovered.”

The Fire Ancestor sighed in realization. “Originally, I disguised the Fire Realm as a cluster of crystalline stones. But over such a long passage of time, the disguise deteriorated, allowing others to stumble upon it by chance.”

“Divine Emperor, I can sense someone within, already nearing the core, close to uncovering my Primal Divine Artifact!”

The Fire Ancestor exhaled in slight relief.

Thankfully, Chu Yuan, with his mastery over time and space, had arrived with exceptional swiftness. Otherwise, even summoning a destiny-level great being would not have reached Primordial Heaven so quickly.

“Let’s proceed.” Chu Yuan said indifferently, “Enter the Fire Realm now. Let me see who it is that has discovered your Fire Realm. Fire Ancestor, with you here, you can unleash the full might of the Primal Divine Artifact.”
