The Primordial Chaos, the place where time began.
Space warped slightly, and Bai Lan emerged from it, bringing Ye Ling and Vivian with her.
"This is the Primordial Chaos!"
Vivian's eyes lit up as she gazed upon the endless river of time stretching before them, much like a child from the countryside entering a grand city. "Such complete rules! No wonder it's called the legendary land."
Ye Ling looked at Vivian in surprise. "You know about the Primordial Chaos too?"
"Of course! Don't think of me as ignorant!" Vivian proudly placed her hands on her hips. "The Primordial Chaos is an extremely rare, orderly world with complete rules in the void. Most worlds that nurture life in the void have incomplete rules, constantly being devoured by the void. Those orderly worlds can't form vast civilizations and are destroyed at any moment."
Bai Lan chimed in, "But the number and quality of powerful beings active in the void far surpass those in the Primordial Chaos, don't they?"
Bai Lan, once the embodiment of the Primordial Chaos's will, could count the notable native powerhouses of the Primordial Chaos on one hand.
Vivian chuckled. "How can you count it like that? Not to mention the incredibly harsh environment of the void. Those who can operate in the void are all capable individuals. Furthermore, the void is boundless. The Primordial Chaos, placed within the void, is like the timelines within your river of time when placed in the Primordial Chaos. Even if other orderly worlds are incomplete, there are always one or two lucky ones that emerge."
"With a large enough base, you naturally have all sorts of powerhouses."
"Moreover... the Primordial Chaos has always been ruled by the Overseers. They have been deliberately suppressing the native beings of the Primordial Chaos. To put it bluntly, it's a huge oversight on the Overseers' part that someone like your boss could emerge from the Primordial Chaos."
Hearing Vivian mention the Overseers, Ye Ling recalled what Xing Yu had said about the "Brain" originating from the dark side of the void. He asked Vivian, "By the way, Vivian, when you were in the dark side of the void, did you hear anything about the 'Brain' or the Overseers?"
"Heard news about the 'Brain' and the Overseers in the dark side of the void?"
Vivian blinked, then tried to recall. She shook her head. "I'm not sure. I came to the void in my infancy. Compared to the dark side of the void, I know more about things in the void... However, when I was active in the void, the Overseers were already the dominant power. They plundered everywhere, and almost no one in the void dared to provoke them."
"Boss, is this information important?"
"Is that so... It's fine, I was just asking casually. Since we're back, shall we first..." Ye Ling waved his hand. He had only asked casually and didn't hold out much hope.
"Wait... I think I remember something!"
At this moment, Vivian suddenly recalled something. "I remember when I was still active in the dark side of the void, there were often meetings of powerful beings in the deeper spaces. At that time, the space in the dark side of the void was very unstable, and the powerful beings created many teleportation channels connecting to the void."
"Back then, I heard many people mentioning 'great calamities' and the need to dispatch 'eyes' into the void. Boss, you said those Overseers look like eyes. Could they be the spies sent out by those powerful beings in the depths of the dark side?"
"What is 'great calamity'?" Ye Ling's interest was piqued by Vivian's words. He no longer rushed to digest and stabilize the chaotic power within him and asked Vivian.
Vivian shook her head. "I'm not very clear about that either. I just felt that many powerful beings in the dark side were taking this matter seriously at the time. However, I had only recently been born and was not strong. There were still many things in the dark side of the void coveting my power, so I didn't have the time or energy to understand those matters."
"Later, I was caught in a teleportation channel and came to the void... You've seen my memories of what happened afterward, boss. You know the rest."
Ye Ling nodded slightly. "Yes... The information you provided is indeed quite useful."
Although Ye Ling had seen Vivian's information through Mo Zhi Jian, Vivian had lived for a very long time, and her memory volume was immense. At that time, Ye Ling had only briefly browsed through Vivian's memories and had overlooked the matter of the "great calamity."
Even though Vivian wasn't very clear about the "great calamity," the eyes sent out by the dark side of the void were most likely the "Brain," and the purpose of the Overseers' activities in the Primordial Chaos was likely related to that "great calamity."
"Vivian, you did a great job this time. I'll give you a raise!"
Ye Ling was in a great mood upon receiving unexpected information from Vivian. He immediately separated some of his soul power and let Vivian consume it!
"Thank you, boss!"
Suddenly receiving Ye Ling's pure soul power, Vivian felt enveloped by immense happiness and immediately began to absorb Ye Ling's soul power.
Ye Ling watched Vivian, who was diligently absorbing soul power, with a smile. He knew it would take her a while, so he put her into his small world. Then he said to Bai Lan, "Lan'er, I still need some time to stabilize my internal energy. I'll need your help to guard me."
Bai Lan asked, "Shall we return to the Three Thousand Universes?"
"No," Ye Ling shook his head. "As I stabilize my internal energy, there might be unexpected occurrences that attract certain monsters. Returning to the Three Thousand Universes would only cause them trouble."
"Let's go to the Realm of Extreme Martial Arts. After the Primordial Martial King lost his power, the Overseers' supervision of that place has weakened. That place is perfect!"
"Alright, Master!"
Bai Lan responded and then took Ye Ling away from the place where time began, heading towards the Realm of Extreme Martial Arts.
...
The Primordial Chaos, Realm of Extreme Martial Arts.
The Primordial Martial King watched Ye Ling cultivating in the cave and then looked at Bai Lan beside him with a troubled expression. "Sister Bai, isn't this really not good?"
Bai Lan replied, "What's not good about it? We're just borrowing a place, not trying to seize your territory."
Hearing Bai Lan's words, the Primordial Martial King was on the verge of tears. "You came, and that's fine, but you killed the Overseers stationed in the Realm of Extreme Martial Arts! What if the Overseers come looking for trouble later? What will I do?"
"You also know that the Primordial Chaos has been strictly managed recently, and our Realm of Extreme Martial Arts is also having a hard time!"
Bai Lan gave the Primordial Martial King a disdainful look. "You're a Primordial King, how can you be so cowardly?"
The Primordial Martial King said bitterly, "Didn't I give my power to your master? I'm not the Primordial Martial King anymore..."
Bai Lan retorted, "If you want power so badly, why don't you go ask my master to give you your power back?"
"That's better not... I think things are quite good now."
The Primordial Martial King immediately backed down, then changed the subject. "Sister Bai, I'm not an unreasonable person, but you come to my Realm of Extreme Martial Arts every once in a while, and every time you cause trouble. The pressure on my end is also immense..."
"Last time, your master became the Primordial Chaos King here. I spent a great deal of effort to eliminate the hidden dangers."
Bai Lan understood what the Primordial Martial King meant and raised an eyebrow slightly. "So, what do you want by telling me all this?"
"Hehe! It's nothing too precious."
Seeing that Bai Lan had understood his intention, the Primordial Martial King immediately smiled and rubbed his hands together. "Sister Bai, I've recently reached a bottleneck in my cultivation. Could you put in a good word for me with your master and ask him to help me break through?"
