Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

"Since we are descendants of an old friend, and meet here again, it can be considered fate." Jiang Hao said calmly, looking at Long Aotian's nervous yet expectant appearance, thinking that although this kid was a bit slippery.

But he's quick-witted and not a bad person; he's much more likable than those rigid or gloomy types.

Jiang Hao casually snapped his fingers.

A sliver of starlight flew out and instantly disappeared into Long Aotian's brow.

Long Aotian shuddered, feeling a vast and profound Dao essence surge into his sea of ​​consciousness, quickly transforming into a mysterious cultivation technique—"Chaotic Ancestral Dragon Qi".

Jiang Hao was quite familiar with the Dragon Clan's techniques; this was a technique he created based on the characteristics of the Dragon Clan.

The practice points directly to the Great Dao and contains endless wonders.

The enormous surprise left Long Aotian dizzy.

He plopped down, this time truly and sincerely prostrating himself, his voice trembling with excitement:

"Junior Long Aotian kowtows in gratitude to the Great Emperor for his divine grace. Great Emperor, you truly possess keen insight and a compassionate heart, your merits are immeasurable. Junior will certainly regard this method as his life, diligently cultivate it, and never fail to live up to the Great Emperor's generous gift. Great Emperor, you are supreme! Great Emperor, you are above all!"

He was so excited that he became somewhat incoherent, and began to habitually shower praise upon himself.

The surrounding stands were once again flooded with waves of envy.

"Here they go again, preaching the Dharma!"

"This time it's that lovable little dragon boy! My goodness, he's got incredible luck!"

"A descendant of an old friend... it turns out his ancestor had a past with the Great Emperor!"

"I'm so envious."

"If only I had been more outgoing, maybe the Emperor would have taken a liking to me..."

"Come on, with that mouth of yours that can barely utter three farts in half a day."

The discussions were filled with envy.

Especially seeing Long Aotian's excited expression, as if he had received a tremendous benefit and was about to dance with joy, made one's teeth itch with envy.

Long Zhan stood aside, looking at his brother's pathetic yet incredibly lucky appearance, and then at the smiling Chaos Emperor, he was also deeply shocked.

At the same time, a strange thought popped into my head: Could it be that... in the face of such a supreme being, someone with a genuine, unpretentious, or even a bit silly personality like my brother is more likely to gain favor?

Is humor... the only way to succeed?

He quickly shook his head, suppressing this outrageous thought.

But looking at Long Aotian's excited back, which seemed to be about to take flight, I couldn't help but think that perhaps... there was some truth to it?

Jiang Hao's several teachings ignited the enthusiasm of the crowd.

At that moment, someone in the crowd muttered something under their breath:

"Speaking of those two, father and son, from the Mighty Bull Demon Clan, didn't they say in front of the Great Emperor that the Great Emperor was inferior to the Primordial Divine Bull Emperor?"

The moment those words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

Then, someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then laughter erupted.

"He is a warrior, a true warrior..."

"I have to admire the fact that someone would criticize the Emperor and the human race for being incompetent in front of the Emperor's face."

"I'm starting to admire Niu Poshan now. Seriously, not everyone has that kind of courage. The key is that he himself isn't that great. He was instantly killed by Xiao Tian Sha Xing, but judging from his tone, you'd think he was a top-tier genius from the Primordial Era."

"Indeed, he's just an ordinary cow. Some ancient races are like that, still thinking it's ancient times, arrogant and domineering, unaware that times have changed."

"The Bull Demon Clan will probably have to squander their entire fortune to appease the Emperor's wrath this time, won't they?"

"Compensation? I'd be lucky to survive..."

A buzz of discussion arose, filled with mockery and schadenfreude.

Jiang Hao listened without commenting.

He didn't take the bull demon father and son seriously.

The clamor of this kind of character is not worth getting angry about.

Since the Golden Bull Clan had made a wise choice, he would not pursue the matter further.

Jiang Hao's gaze swept across the entire room.

At this moment, the Emperor's Fall Pass was filled with geniuses and powerful figures from all the myriad races of the heavens. They had come from various star regions just to witness this ultimate showdown.

"Meeting is fate."

Jiang Hao suddenly spoke, his voice calm yet resounding throughout the starry sky.

He raised his right hand and gently tapped the empty space below.

Where the fingertip touched, a point of chaotic light shone.

The light was initially only the size of a grain of rice, but it quickly spread and transformed into a three-zhang-long streak.

The Dao traces floated in the starry sky, seemingly simple and plain, yet exuding a profound charm that points directly to the Great Dao.

Upon closer inspection, the Dao traces seemed to contain the evolution of chaos, the separation of Yin and Yang, the rotation of earth, fire, wind, and water, and the floating and sinking of the illusory images of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

It is not as dazzling as supernatural powers and secret arts, but it is more profound and vast, as if the mysteries of the entire universe are condensed into this one mark.

"This mark is left for you all to ponder."

Jiang Hao said calmly, "How much you can comprehend depends on your own destiny."

Jiang Hao is never stingy when it comes to opportunities. As a senior, it is his duty to help the younger generation when he has the ability and opportunity.

After all, the opportunities left by his predecessors during his growth were of great help.

This is how it should be passed down from generation to generation.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience fell silent for a moment, then erupted in a deafening gasp!

"The...the Great Emperor's mark?"

"This is a Dao mark personally left by the Chaos Emperor, a mark that points directly to the origin of the Great Dao!"

"My God... I never thought I'd have this opportunity?"

"This is a once-in-a-millennium stroke of luck!"

Countless cultivators trembled with excitement, and some older generation experts were even moved to tears.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

"It has to be the Great Emperor, the strongest person in all the heavens, and also the person with the greatest heart in all the heavens."

"The Emperor is merciful!"

Everyone sighed with genuine admiration:

"So this is the Chaos Emperor..."

"His strength is unmatched, and his mind is as vast as the starry sky."

"Leaving traces for all the heavens... Such magnanimity is truly befitting of a supreme being who ended the darkness and chaos and ushered in a golden age."

"From this day forward, if anyone dares to utter a single bad word about the Emperor, I will be the first to fight them to the death!"

The discussions were filled with respect and gratitude.

A wave of gratitude rose up, heartfelt and sincere.

They all sat down cross-legged, focusing all their attention on the chaotic Dao trace, and began to comprehend it with all their might.

Some people felt that the bottleneck that had trapped them for hundreds of years began to loosen after just one glance.

Some people gazed at it for a moment, and then all sorts of profound insights appeared in their minds, and many of the confusions they had encountered in their past cultivation suddenly became clear.

Some people even tried to probe the depths of the Dao traces with their divine sense, but were shaken by the vast Dao charm within, yet they still gained a lot.

In the crowd, Long Zhan stared at the chaotic Dao mark, his golden eyes gleaming.

Dragon shadows swirled around him, clearly indicating that he had gleaned some insight from them.

The mysterious woman in the star-studded long dress stood quietly, the illusory stars in her eyes reflecting the chaotic evolution within the Dao traces, as if she were verifying and deducing some kind of Great Dao.

Jiang Hao glanced at her. "Interesting, so members of this clan have come out too."

This girl is mysterious to others, but to him, he can see right through her.

Jiang Hao didn't pay much attention. Although the girl had a powerful background, she wasn't someone Jiang Hao needed to take seriously at the moment.

He glanced at the two unconscious boys floating in front of him, then at Feng Xi, who was still in a daze, and said:

"Feng Xi".

Feng Xi jolted awake as if from a dream: "Ah? Yes, Your Majesty, you called me?"

A hint of a smile flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes: "Come with me."

"Huh? Oh! Okay!" Feng Xi nodded without thinking and ran over to stand next to Jiang Hao.

She was still in a daze. She couldn't believe that the old man was the Great Emperor. She had really met the Great Emperor? She had just met the Great Emperor like that?

Then it dawned on her: Wait, the Emperor wants me to go with him? Where to?

But before she could ask, Jiang Hao had already raised his hand and waved it.

The chaotic energy swept up the three of them: Xiao Zhanhuang, Chu Changge, and Feng Xi.

Jiang Hao took a step forward.

The starry sky automatically parted beneath his feet, creating a passage that led to the deep, boundless depths of the universe.

He led the three of them into the passage.
