Chapter 1350: Chapter 516: Chaos Universe Element_2

The surging deep grey fog was like the most magnificent landscape painting in the world, eliciting Gua’s sigh.

What’s more incredible is that as he gazed with the soul of a deity, he actually felt exceedingly insignificant.

It was as if at this moment, GuaGua was only a little grasshopper or earthworm among myriad creatures, and these mountains were chasms he could never hope to cross in his lifetime.

"Could these scenes possibly be just the tip of the iceberg of something called ’Chaos Universe Element,’ from before the Nether Ancient Era?"

"Four Seas Divine Pool... Gate of Awakening... These places, are they related to the world’s primordial mystery of birth?"

Ye Hanjun’s experiences today were countless and astonishing.

With suspicions and unease, he spurred his soul onward, like a large bird swooping down the mountains, freely roaming.

In the mountains... there were some creatures!

Ye Hanjun saw some extremely bizarre animals and plants, such as caterpillars shaped like volcanoes, rolling stones creatures, and fat whales with wings dancing in the streams...

Every one of these creatures was gigantic in size, wound with an unseen grey substance that merged indistinctly with both the mountains and the mist.

But... aside from this, they weren’t particularly powerful, let alone achieving Divine Enthronement, they might not even reach the level of Supreme Saint.

After a long gallop.

As Ye Hanjun surveyed heaven and earth, his spirit was jolted, and his pupils suddenly contracted to needle-points.

He saw humans!

Those must have been the ancestors of humanity, half-naked, starving, living in tribes.

They had already mastered the use of torches, bone clubs, and bone awls as homemade weapons.

However, dozens working together could only chase after the smallest beasts in the mountains and forests. Upon encountering larger creatures, either an entire team was wiped out or they dispersed in panic, utterly lacking the courage to resist.

"In the Chaos Universe Element, has the Human Race not yet mastered the power of Contracts, and instead fought more with physical strength and intelligence?"

Ye Hanjun scratched his ears, full of doubts, for a while staring at GuaGua who stared back, neither able to utter a word.

On closer thought, those bizarre beasts also seemed to have an issue.

They and the Fond Spirits from the Ancient Cosmos, even from the New Era, seemed to be species of two different dimensions, fundamentally different at the deepest level.

What exactly happened at the beginning of the world?

No matter how you look at it, the Human Race had no advantage at all.

If humanity were to continue developing and one day become completely extinct, it would actually be a very reasonable outcome, which wouldn’t surprise any onlooker.

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, time began to accelerate.

The passing of the world, like fleeting glimpses of light and shadow, flashed continuously before Ye Hanjun’s eyes.

As he predicted, the uncompetitive Human Race faced extinction many times.

At the worst of times, only a single tribe remained, teetering on the brink of annihilation.

However, it seemed they possessed some innate luck.

After barely surviving the most difficult period, they spread and grew for hundreds of years, resilient like insects surviving in every crevice.

— The stronger are strong, but I shall quietly thrive!

This was one of the few things that left the deepest impression on Ye Hanjun.

Then, as time hurriedly passed, suddenly one day, the course of fate began to reverse.

Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, a vast hole opened at the top of the sky.

It was as if the world was about to be destroyed, thirty-six meteorites fell from the sky.

They smashed into the Chaotic Mountains, causing mountains to collapse and the ground to split, countless species perished in an instant.

Ye Hanjun, who had always been a spectator, trembled slightly on the shoulders.

Those were not meteorites... those were thirty-six eggs!

Countless mysterious patterns were branded on their eggshells, which, with the slightest glow, could make one’s eyes sore to tears!

Bold creatures, after the disaster subsided, tentatively touched the surfaces of the eggshells.

As a result, whether it was the fat-headed monsters or the agile and weak humans, in a single breath—they all turned to ash!

"Thirty-six... this number... isn’t that too much of a coincidence?"

Ye Hanjun, with a dry throat, had an ominous thought.

Could it be that the rulers of the Nether Ancient Era actually were Outer Heaven Visitors?

They were not born in this world on their own, but rather... traversed from somewhere else?

"Rumble — Rumble —"

The shattered sky, slowly healing, was struck by countless bolts of lightning.

Heaven’s fury was aroused, Its will did not permit unexplained presences within Its "territory".

However, no matter how the lightning poured or the mountain torrents erupted, sending rocks tumbling down,

the thirty-six eggs remained unmoved, like indestructible, invincible entities.

Just as Ye Hanjun was unable to gauge the situation’s development,

the thirty-six eggs began to glow simultaneously, suddenly emitting something akin to soul thoughts that rippled through heaven and earth:

"Unformed plane embryonic shapes, please accept my children, and coexist with them..."

"They carry my origin, and upon the day they hatch, they will naturally infuse into your world, merging with you..."

"This is the highest grade of Innate objects, which can provide more nourishment for you. Your world will become even more thriving, and there is no harm..."

"..."

The continuously wrathful "Chaotic Heavenly Dao" fell abruptly silent.

It appeared to hesitate, but it suppressed these uncertainties effectively.

A long wait was but an instant for It.

Finally, the thirty-six eggs shook violently. With thirty-six sounds of cracking, thirty-six indescribable life forms were born, some wailing, some mischievous, others serene... each in a different state.

Ye Hanjun still could not discern their exact appearances but couldn’t help swallowing hard, wary and alarmed.

It turns out that the rulers of the Nether Ancient were Divine Venerates from the day they were born.

Their starting point was the lifelong pinnacle of an Ancient Heavenly Venerate—a gap that the former me could not have imagined.

"As promised, you shall raise my children in my stead."

"And my split origin will naturally help you, strengthening your foundation."

Two more daunting soul thoughts spread out like ripples.

The split eggshells, one after another, melted into the soil and vanished without a trace.

Without further words, Ye Hanjun could feel the earth tremble lightly. It wasn’t fear, but joy.

Did those eggshells indeed hide extraordinary life substances that could propel the world’s evolution and the growth of life from their roots?

"Since it is a symbiotic fusion, we should select a clan to serve as the bridge..."

"Unformed plane will oh, this is the ’Contract’ between you and me, you pick the ’Suitable’ one..."

"..."

The Chaos Will fell silent, as if contemplating.

Suddenly, a cluster of gray lightning fell from the sky, striking the mountains and the earth.

A band of Human Race hunters smeared with mud, hidden in the crevices of rocks, were waiting with bated breath for their prey’s approach.

Lightning struck them out of nowhere; they rolled their eyes, trembled, and all fell unconscious.

The startled prey fled at once, not daring to turn back and bite.

Ye Hanjun concentrated intently, bearing witness to the event.

The unconscious humans began to glow, mystical energies circulating. After a short while, luminous Marks appeared one by one on their chests, pulsing with the rhythm of their hearts.

"So... this is the true secret behind the world?"

"Among all heavens and ten thousand races, why only the Human Race can sign contracts with Fond Spirits—the mystery no one can explain, must trace back to the Chaos Universe Element..."

Ye Hanjun released a long breath, suddenly understanding.

The Chaotic World itself did not give birth to Fond Spirits.

But as an Innate species, to fuse distinct energies from the existing world, the Human Race became the greatest beneficiary.

They not only evolved ’Authority’ such extraordinary powers, but they can also sign contracts with Fond Spirits. By radically expanding their racial ability values, they stood at the apex of the food chain, to this very day.

And throughout this process, the thirty-six ’Outer Heaven Visitors’ must have been extremely domineering.

The other original species have either perished or been assimilated, and in the end, the world that hatched contained only Fonhttp://localhost/phpmyadmin/sql.php?db=wikipediab["families"]d Spirits and the Human Race - the core of the world’s Law to date.

"Humans... have always been favored by the world’s will."

"But why, when so many Heavenly Venerates were born amongst the Fond Spirits, is the Crown Rank the limit when it comes to humans?"

Ye Hanjun was still puzzled in his heart.
