However, Chu Huangtian informed the clan elder that this Ancient Human Emperor Physique required the fortune of an imperial dynasty to cultivate rapidly!
"Dynastic fortune? But our Chu family is a clan, not a dynasty! Would clan fortune work instead? If so, I wouldn't mind letting you take over as clan leader!" Chu Jingyue said seriously. He had long wanted to resign as clan leader to focus on cultivation, but no suitable successor had emerged.
Chu Huangtian replied respectfully, "Reporting to the clan leader, this Human Emperor Physique must be paired with dynastic fortune to maximize its potential!"
"In that case, why don't you establish your own dynasty? Though I must first seek the Beast God's approval," said Chu Tianyang, since this amounted to starting an independent venture.
Within the Dragon Emperor Palace, Long Yuan considered Chu Tianyang's report and declared, "Let him establish a dynasty. As the Chu family expands, such situations will become increasingly common. So long as they remain affiliated with the Chu family, let them develop as they wish. Their descendants may remain in the dynasty or return to the Chu family, enjoying equal status upon return."
Long Yuan provided detailed guidance. The Chu family's current numbers remained insufficient—when they reached millions or tens of millions, they would inevitably spread across the Mortal Realm and beyond. Yet no matter how they dispersed, the Chu family's supremacy would remain unshaken.
"Understood, Senior!" Chu Tianyang nodded and relayed the decision to Chu Huangtian.
"Even if I establish a dynasty, my descendants shall always remain part of the Chu family," Chu Huangtian affirmed solemnly. He fully grasped the implications—while his dynasty might one day decline, the Chu family would endure eternally so long as the Beast God presided. Previously, he had feared being disowned for leaving to found a dynasty. Had that been the case, he would have remained.
Thus, Chu Huangtian departed the Chu family to establish his imperial dynasty—the Chu Dynasty—from scratch.
Before people could recover from the divine physique phenomenon, an even more terrifying manifestation appeared half a month later. A pair of enormous, ethereal golden eyes materialized above the Mortal Realm, gazing down with the cold indifference of Providence itself!Under that gaze, whether Martial Emperors, Martial Gods surpassing Emperor-tier, Immortal-tier experts, or even Longevity Realm cultivators—all involuntarily bowed their heads. Everyone felt the intangible scrutiny of Providence demanding submission.
"What is this now? Even divine physiques shouldn't produce such overwhelming phenomena!" The current manifestation enveloped the entire Mortal Realm, dwarfing the earlier divine physique awakening.
"Could the Chu family be behind this again?" Hell's Gate experts wondered. "Investigate immediately! Determine the cause! If another heaven-defying Chu genius has emerged, eliminate them at all costs! If unrelated, bring them to Hell's Gate!"
All sought to uncover what existence could trigger such cataclysmic changes in the Mortal Realm.
"Has someone obtained the Supreme Physique 'Eye of Providence'?" Long Yuan naturally noticed the phenomenon—only the Supreme Physique could produce such manifestations.
"Who else would have?"
"And those special Chu family physiques—you cultivated them?"
"Who else would have?" Long Yuan repeated.
Dragon Ao Tian exclaimed, "You're only Half-step World-Creation Realm! How could you produce special physiques?"
"Formerly Half-step—no longer."
"What do you—" Before he finished, terrifying energy erupted from Long Yuan, his overwhelming aura crashing into the stunned Dragon Ao Tian.
"This... World-Creation Realm?! Damn! You actually broke through?!" Dragon Ao Tian leapt up, gaping in disbelief.
"How?! You reached World-Creation Realm?!" At such levels, even minor breakthroughs required exceptional aptitude and centuries of cultivation. Yet Long Yuan had appeared to sleep constantly without cultivating—how could he advance without practice?
"What cultivation method are you using?" Dragon Ao Tian grew curious—perhaps some extraordinary technique like the legendary "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns" enabling cultivation through dreams, achieving millennia of progress in one sleep.
"The 'Hack' Method!"
"'Hack' Method?! What nonsense is that?!" Peerless methods invariably had majestic names—this sounded utterly mundane!
"What do you know? This is returning to simplicity! The Hack Method is the supreme technique of all realms, leading directly to ultimate transcendence!" Long Yuan scoffed. Besides hacking, who could cultivate so rapidly?
"Supreme technique? Transcendence?" Dragon Ao Tian's eyes bulged. Even in the Sacred Realm, he'd never heard of an omniversal supreme technique enabling transcendence!
"Senior, could you impart this Hack Method to me?" he pleaded eagerly.
"No! It suits only me—not others. I cannot teach you." Long Yuan refused outright—his hack system was bound exclusively to him. Even if transferable, he wouldn't share it.
Dragon Ao Tian smiled awkwardly—naturally, such a treasure wouldn't be shared lightly.
