The villainous simp ignores the plot and mercilessly torments the female lead to tears.

Without much thought, Qin Yan gave Ji Yunyao and Venerable Qinglin a few instructions before tearing open the world barrier and plunging into the vast chaos.

As soon as he entered the chaos, he sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching.

Qin Yan frowned and quickly rushed towards the direction from which the aura was approaching.

In the chaos, he couldn't sense distance or time, so Qin Yan didn't know how long he had been flying; it just felt like a very long time.

Before him appeared a figure a million feet tall, its form blurry and humanoid in shape, but with four arms and two eyes flashing with blood-red light.

Qin Yan knew this was the guy's true form. He rushed forward quickly, and the blurry figure became clearer and clearer.

Soon, he could clearly see what the guy in front of him looked like.

This creature has exoskeleton plates similar to those of an insect, and while it looks like a human, it's more like an anthropomorphic insect.

This guy glanced at Qin Yan, who was as small as a sesame seed in his eyes, and made a rumbling sound: "You, you are very strong, I will kill you."

The giant creature swung its enormous hand and slammed it down on Qin Yan.

Qin Yan stood there motionless. Behind him, the Imperial Weapon Dragon Pattern Azure Gold Blade roared and suddenly leaped up, unleashing a sharp blade of energy that struck the monster's palm directly.

The monster's hand was severed with a "swish," but no blood flowed out; instead, the wound healed rapidly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the monster's injuries had all healed.

The monster stared at Qin Yan and roared fiercely, "Damn it, you actually possess the Great Dao of Power, and even the origin of the Great Dao of Power!"

Qin Yan nodded: "That's natural, otherwise why would I be the Great Emperor of this era?"

"Great Emperor, Great Emperor," the monster kept muttering these two words, roaring, "You deserve to die, you deserve to die."

The monster launched a frenzied attack on Qin Yan, but Qin Yan did not back down and continued to attack the monster.

Qin Yan's attack was very powerful, but the monster in front of him no longer used its claws to block Qin Yan's attacks as it had before.

The monster began to use its supernatural powers. Strange rhythms emanated from its body, and the speed of the rapidly moving sword energy suddenly slowed down. The monster calmly dodged these attacks.

Qin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this scene. He seemed to have discerned the Dao within this monster—the Dao of Time.

It is said that time is merciless, and time is the greatest force in the world.

However, Qin Yan has his own opinion on this, but it's not convenient for him to say it now.

After dodging the blade's energy, the monster swung its palm at Qin Yan. Qin Yan's eyes widened instantly as he tried to raise his longsword to block it.

However, his speed, like his sword energy, also slowed down.

The next instant, a huge hand slammed into him, sending him flying.

The slap wasn't very forceful, but it made Qin Yan feel extremely strange; he felt as if his life was rapidly slipping away.

He straightened up, looked at the monster before him, and said coldly, "The power of time?"

The monster opened its mouth and made a strange sound: "Yes."

Qin Yan chuckled and said, "A hypocritical proposition; time is a hypocritical proposition."

The monster flew into a rage upon hearing this, roaring, "Damn it, what do you know? Do you even understand time?"

Qin Yan gave him a cold look and said, "Why wouldn't I understand? If I'm not mistaken, your so-called power of time is just an ability to speed up or slow down anything between matter, and has nothing to do with time."

"Bastard," the monster roared again, "I control time, I control time, you son of a bitch."

Qin Yan sneered and asked, "Since you control time, what is your standard for time?"

The monster was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, it asked, "What do you mean?"

Qin Yan said calmly, "What I mean is, what is the basis for your so-called time, and what determines that this is time?"

The monster was stunned for a long time, unable to come up with anything.

Qin Yan spoke again: "The so-called time, whether it's seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, or any other unit of time, is just a name created by humans to record time?"

"These units were also created by humans based on the laws governing the operation of matter. So I say that the existence of time is due to the continuous operation of matter. With these, time comes. Therefore, what you hold in your hands is not the power of time. No one in the world can control time, including you."

After saying these words, the energy within Qin Yan's body instantly disappeared, and his body returned to its previous state.

I'm sorry, but Qin Yan has also now mastered the so-called power of time.

Once you see through everything, you will naturally grasp the core of something, and that core is the key to mastering everything.

Upon seeing this, the monster roared instantly, shouting angrily, "You deserve to die, you deserve to die! I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"

Countless so-called time powers surged from his body, attempting to destroy Qin Yan, but they were all blocked by the same power within Qin Yan's body.

Qin Yan slowly said, "If I hadn't become an Emperor, then this move of yours could have instantly killed me. If it were another Emperor, your move would have been equally effective, but unfortunately, you've encountered me."

Qin Yan's hand flashed with rays of light, which instantly burst forth and struck the monster's body.

The monster's body twisted and folded in the glow of the sunset, eventually melting and dissipating.

After killing the monster, Qin Yan took a deep breath and said, "I originally thought that after sitting on the throne of the Great Emperor, I would encounter dangerous things, but this is all?"

He snorted coldly and turned back to the world of Tianxuan Continent.

Upon returning, he found his two wives and took them back to the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.

Upon his return, Qin Yan immediately went into seclusion to carefully study the so-called power of time.

After nearly a thousand years of research, he finally figured it out: he could use the power of time to achieve longevity or even immortality.

That is, by keeping yourself in a state of "stillness" at all times, you can achieve eternity.

However, how to keep oneself in a state of stillness at all times is another challenge.

Qin Yan began another thousand-year-long study and finally figured it out.

After he realized this, he immediately wanted to share it with his family, but he found that his father and mother had already passed away. Their strength was too low and their lifespans were too short. They couldn't wait for Qin Yan's method of immortality and passed away.

Fortunately, Qin Yan's two wives were still in their prime. He taught these skills to his wives, children, and grandchildren, and also taught them to the Dragon Horse Ancestor, the White Elephant Venerable, and other close associates.

After gaining immortality, Qin Yan stayed on the Tianxuan Continent for tens of thousands of years before finally leaving the Tianxuan Continent with his two wives and entering the vast chaos.

He wanted to see if there were other worlds, and he wanted to experience scenery he had never seen before.

[The End!]
