Humans!
That's right. The moment the gazes of over three hundred Ancestors peered through the Primordial Vortex and saw that figure, these two words sprang forth in their souls.
It was as if only these two words represented the true identity of this phantom.
But, but…
Why "human"?
For countless years, among the innate Primordial Source Beings nurtured within the Primordial Source Space, there had never been "humans."
Humans were merely born from the countless universes within the Primordial Source Space, and only after arduous cultivation could they break through into the Primordial Source Space.
In the earliest days of the Primordial Source Space, humans were extremely precious and rare existences.
This was because, back then, there weren't as many universes within the Primordial Source Space as there were now, and it was incredibly difficult for innate Primordial Source Beings to find even a single universe.
At that time, seeing a human meant obtaining at least one universe.
Later, as more and more universes were nurtured within the Primordial Source Space, the difficulty for innate Primordial Source Beings to find universes decreased. Moreover, many humans seemed to originate from the same universe. Even if they captured a human, when they went to search for the universe from which that human appeared, it was likely that other innate Primordial Source Beings had already claimed it.
Over these countless years, the number of humans in the Primordial Source Space had grown. But before Yuan became a Primordial Source Lord, humans were truly just tools for the innate Primordial Source Beings to hunt and search for universes.
All humans transcended from Primordial Source Universes; there had never been an exception.
Even Yuan, the strongest human Primordial Source Lord, was merely an ant being hunted by the innate Primordial Source Being races when he first appeared in the Primordial Source Space.
Could it be that, from today onwards, a new innate human race would appear in the Primordial Source Space?
No!
Very quickly, these Ancestor-level Primordial Source Beings cast this thought aside.
They were here to intercept this newly born life. How could they possibly allow it to become a new life race?
As time passed, the Primordial Vortex was finally completely absorbed by the creature before them.
Following this, the innate Primordial Ancestors unleashed the Primordial Power derived from the Primordial Dao they controlled, bombarding Roy like a torrential downpour.
...
The very first thing Roy saw the moment he opened his eyes was hundreds of laws crossing the space of the Primordial Source Space, pouring down on him like a torrential rain.
"Oh? This welcome ritual is quite special."
Roy had anticipated the situation he was facing before his breakthrough.
However, Roy's previous prediction was that the Hong Meng Realm would absorb the origin of the Primordial Source Space to advance into an Origin Universe.
But what Roy hadn't expected at all was that the entity absorbing the most Primordial Source Qi wasn't the Hong Meng Realm.
It was the more than three thousand laws that carried the Primordial Source Qi.
Especially after these laws, based on the Law of Destiny and framed by the Space-Time Law, converged and integrated into the "Creation Jade Butterfly," the amount of Primordial Source Qi absorbed was colossal.
Of the one percent of Primordial Source Qi from the Primordial Source Space that Roy absorbed, almost ninety-nine percent was absorbed by the "Creation Jade Butterfly" to evolve and solidify.
Of course, having absorbed so much Primordial Source Qi, the Chaos Qi evolved from the Creation Jade Butterfly did not disappoint the commotion it caused.
The fact that it could expel the Primordial Source Qi from Roy's body was enough to show that the strength of Roy's Chaos Qi was a level higher than that of the Primordial Source Qi.
Facing the incoming Primordial Power, which contained the Primordial Dao, Roy's body suddenly emitted a chaotic light.
Then, all the Primordial Power that approached Roy instantly dissipated like bubbles.
Invulnerable to all laws!
This was a "capability" Roy possessed after achieving Chaos.
No attack with a rank lower than Chaos could inflict even the slightest damage on Roy.
Roy's own Chaos rank was even above Primordial Source.
Let alone the Ancestors who had not yet fully controlled their own Primordial Dao, even the attacks from the five ultimate Ancestor-level Primordial Source Beings in the Eternal Land, who had completely mastered their own Primordial Dao, had completely dissipated before they even touched Roy.
This was the suppression of a higher dimension upon a lower dimension.
"Not good!"
When had the Ancestor-level Primordial Source Beings ever witnessed such a sight?
Their attacks dissipated before they even touched the target.
Not only that, but the information fed back from their own Primordial Power caused the souls of over three hundred Ancestor-level Primordial Source Beings to tremble.
Their very essence was trembling.
It was as if, if they continued to attack that being, their own essence would completely dissipate like the previous Primordial Power, leading to their death and the annihilation of their Dao.
The shallower the excavation of their bloodline power and the weaker their strength, the greater the impact they suffered.
Several newly born Ancestors even had their bodies begin to crack.
In the end, they had to burn their own origins to recover quickly.
As for the majority of the Ancestor-level Primordial Source Beings, their bodies trembled, their Primordial essence vibrated, and they temporarily lost control of their bodies.
Even the five ultimate Ancestors, who had excavated their bloodline power to the limit and fully controlled their Primordial Dao, momentarily froze after their attacks imbued with Primordial Dao against Roy dissipated.
After recovering, the five supreme Ancestors immediately contacted the Eternal Land with their minds, leaving the area at the first opportunity and entering the Eternal Land to preserve their lives.
It was a disaster!
This was the first thought that flashed through the minds of all the Ancestors who had participated in attacking Roy.
Right, how could they have forgotten that this being who appeared from the Primordial Source vortex was "human"!
What impression did humans have among the naturally born Primordial Source Being races?
Invincible!
Within the same realm, unless a naturally born Primordial Source Being could fully unleash their bloodline and reach the peak of that realm.
Otherwise, humans were invincible among their peers!
For every gain, there must be a loss.
Naturally born Primordial Source Beings were nurtured by the Primordial Source Space and were the embodiment of the Primordial Source Space laws.
Their very existence was law.
But humans rose from humble beginnings, needing to comprehend the mysteries of the universe from the evolution of all things to even touch upon "laws."
However, precisely because of this, humanity's understanding of laws progressed from the minuscule to the vast, until they were completely mastered.
Naturally born Primordial Source Beings, on the other hand, were like high-rise buildings. They had a macro understanding of the laws they represented, but their understanding of the micro aspects was inferior to humans.
Naturally, their cultivation method of unleashing bloodline power to control their own laws was considered a crude cultivation technique by humans.
Of course, the fact that naturally born Primordial Source Beings had such an understanding was also a kind of "survivor bias."
After all, every human who broke through the limitations of the Origin Universe and entered the Primordial Source Space to become a Primordial Source Being was a prodigy of humanity.
Their comprehension and mastery of laws were beyond what beings in the universe could compare to.
It was not surprising that such human prodigies could become the apex of their level in the Primordial Source Space.
Rather, it would be truly hopeless for humanity if a human prodigy, who appeared only once in countless years across dozens or even hundreds of universes, could not achieve this.
Therefore, in the consciousness of almost all naturally born Primordial Source Beings, especially after Yuan became a Primordial Source Lord and forcefully killed three Ancestor-level Primordial Source Beings, humans were almost synonymous with invincibility at the same level.
Now, this being who appeared from the Primordial Source vortex was also human!
Judging by the aura of this human before, it was clear that this human had already surpassed the Ancestor level.
According to the human way of "peak performance from the start," this human was clearly standing at the peak of the next realm after the Ancestor level.
What was wrong with them?
How could they have thought they could kill a human by crossing a major realm?
The powerful Ancestors, the moment they regained their freedom, each displayed their unique abilities and fled madly.
As for the weaker Lords, they could only watch in despair as the Sea of Chaos expanded and engulfed them…
Similar to the beings who entered the upper layer from the lower layer, these Ancestors, after entering the Chaos Space, could not withstand the energy of the Chaos Qi at all, and were directly turned into nothingness by it.
In this incident, nearly a hundred Ancestor-level Primordial Source Beings died at Roy's hands.
Witnessing this terrifying scene, the Primordial Source Beings who had narrowly escaped ran even faster.
Roy did not continue to attack them.
These Ancestor-level Primordial Source Beings had attacked him once, and he had retaliated with a blow. Those who had died had settled their karma.
As for those who escaped, under the guidance of fate, there would naturally be a day when they would repay their karma.
At this moment, Roy's gaze fell upon the only figure still standing in front of him.
It was a human.
With white hair and a youthful complexion, he appeared to be a young man, but his entire aura gave off a sense of having experienced great hardships.
Roy found this human's aura somewhat familiar.
With a slight recollection, he recalled the first time he had encountered this aura from his memory.
It was the aura that his fourth brother, Qin Yu, carried after the Void God Realm had been materialized.
"Yuan?"
Roy took a step forward, arriving in front of this white-haired youth, and asked with a hint of confusion.
Although it was a question, Roy's tone was a statement of certainty.
"Oh? Senior recognizes me?"
Yuan asked in surprise.
Although, according to his own estimations, he had appeared in the Primordial Source Space countless years before this fellow clansman in front of him, and this powerful clansman should be his descendant.
However, no matter where it was, unless it was a direct relative within three generations, people distinguished seniority based on strength.
If you are powerful, if you are invincible, then you are the greatest senior.
From Roy, Yuan sensed a vastness that was countless times stronger than his own, and naturally, he dared not consider Roy his junior.
"No, I don't know you."
Roy shook his head and said to Yuan, "But one of my brothers received the Lie Yuan Art inheritance you left behind, which helped him break through a bottleneck. I sensed a trace of your aura from him, which is how I recognized you."
"I see."
Hearing Roy's explanation, Yuan understood.
At the same time, Yuan's own guess was confirmed.
This junior before him truly came from a lower-level universe.
This was because after Yuan became a Primordial Source Lord, he had, in order to foster more powerful beings among humans, sent his own inheritance to universes within the Primordial Source Space through some method.
These inheritances would only be activated within Origin Universes, and anyone who received his Lie Yuan Art inheritance would at the very least reach the level of a High-level Primordial Source Being.
Such beings, if they eventually broke through the Origin Universe and entered the Primordial Source Space, could immediately become High-level Primordial Source Beings.
Furthermore, if they could gain the recognition of most of the beings in that Origin Universe, they could even ascend in one step to become World-class Primordial Source Beings, second only to Ancestor-level Primordial Source Beings in the Primordial Source Space.
In fact, just as Yuan had guessed, as soon as Qin Yu entered the Primordial Source Space and allowed his laws to carry Primordial Source Qi, he immediately became a High-level Primordial Source Being.
Of course, even without Yuan's Lie Yuan Art, Qin Yu would have reached this point eventually.
However, the Lie Yuan Art did save Qin Yu nearly thirty trillion years.
While Roy was frantically absorbing Primordial Source Qi, drawing the attention of most Primordial Source Beings in the Primordial Source Space to himself, Qin Yu's Qin Meng Universe had successfully been promoted to an Origin Universe.
As the creator of the Qin Meng Universe, Qin Yu didn't need the recognition of the beings within the Qin Meng Universe. The origin of the Qin Meng Universe automatically merged with Qin Yu, making him the second World-class Primordial Source Being to emerge from the Primordial Space.
In recent years, the three brothers Qin Yu, Hong Meng, and Linley, within the spatial-temporal barrier set up by Roy, had been studying the four innate World-class Primordial Source Beings captured by Hong Meng, attempting to discover methods to evolve universes into Origin Universes from them.
But unfortunately, although the three brothers had made some progress in their research over the years, it was not enough for them to find a way to advance universes into Origin Universes.
"Senior..."
"You can just call me Roy."
Although his current strength had surpassed Yuan's, Roy felt that given Yuan's contributions to humanity, it would make him uncomfortable for Yuan to call him senior.
"Alright."
Since Roy said so, Yuan nodded in agreement. "Roy, my inheritance only activates within Origin Universes. Since the universe you inhabit has activated my inheritance, it means your universe is also an Origin Universe."
"You might not know this, but after becoming a High-level Primordial Source Being, for humans to advance further, they must refine the origin of an Origin Universe to become a World-class Primordial Source Being..."
Following this, Yuan proceeded to explain the cultivation methods and advancement routes for humans in the Primordial Source Space one by one to Roy.
In Yuan's view, although he didn't know how Roy had become a being that surpassed Primordial Source Lords, such an achievement likely had its own unique and unrepeatable aspects.
With that in mind, at least one more World-class Primordial Source Being could be born in the Origin Universe from which Roy originated.
With a powerful being like Roy providing protection, Yuan naturally didn't need to worry about the safety of that Origin Universe. It was even possible that in a few more years, the human forces under Roy's command would surpass his own territory.
As for Roy?
Although he knew most of what Yuan was saying, he was definitely not as detailed in some aspects as Yuan was.
Therefore, Roy did not refuse Yuan's kind offer and listened carefully to Yuan's experience.
