Chapter 431 The Excited Mountain Dweller and Chen Yuan's Plan
resurrection.
This is the authority bestowed upon the strong by the primordial universe; once one becomes the master of the universe, almost everyone can master the ability to resurrect.
Moreover, the stronger the cultivator, the higher the upper limit of resurrection.
However, whether it is the Lord of the Universe or a true god, their resurrection ability always has an upper limit, which is the cosmic overlord!
Let alone resurrecting the strongest being in the universe, there isn't even one person in the entire universe who can resurrect the ruler of the universe.
But now some people claim that they can resurrect the Dream Demon Ancestor.
Even though Chen Yuan had broken the rules time and time again, this matter was still too shocking, and even the human race was stunned.
"The strongest being in the universe—can he be resurrected?"
"No way! He must be joking!"
"The ability to resurrect is bestowed by the primordial universe; theoretically, everyone should be the same. So why is the resurrection of the Primordial Lord able to surpass the limits?"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and even the high-ranking members of the human race couldn't help but secretly exchange whispers, debating the truth of the matter.
Of these people, only two appeared somewhat calm: one was the Giant Axe, and the other was the Mountain-Sitting Guest.
"Since Chen Yuan was able to master the ability to make words law even at the level of the Lord of the Universe, it is only reasonable that he could also master a higher level of resurrection power."
Because of his previous experience, Giant Axe was mentally prepared, so although he was surprised, he did not immediately question it like the others.
On the contrary, the news revealed by Chen Yuan reminded him of something else.
The giant axe thought to itself, "Based on the experience of the Primordial Ancestor's escape, Chen Yuan must have obtained a portion of the Primordial Universe's authority through some means, which explains his abnormalities."
"It seems that the original ancestor was aware of Chen Yuan's situation, otherwise he wouldn't have said that their future escape would depend on Chen Yuan."
Thinking of this, Giant Axe felt reassured, and a hint of excitement flickered in his eyes as he looked at Chen Yuan.
Whether or not he could resurrect the true god was not important to him, since the entire human race currently only had him and the original ancestor as true gods.
What the giant axe truly cares about is the meaning behind this power.
"The Primordial Ancestor was right after all." Giant Axe was overjoyed. "He wanted to escape because he was relying on Chen Yuan's authority. No wonder he cared so much about Chen Yuan."
"That's wonderful!"
At the same time, another person on the field was also slightly excited.
"Resurrect a true god!" The Mountain Dweller closed his eyes, only one thought in his mind: "So the resurrection authority in the Cosmic Sea region isn't just limited to the level of Cosmic Venerables, it can even resurrect true gods!"
The power of resurrection through time reversal is a unique ability of the primordial universe. This concept does not exist for life on the Origin Continent; the weak simply die, and the strong can only be reincarnated.
To be honest, when the Mountain Dweller was reincarnated into the primordial universe, he was indeed very excited when he first discovered that he had the authority to resurrect.
But after realizing the rules of resurrection, he was disappointed again, because there was actually an upper limit to resurrection in the original universe!
Thinking about it carefully, this is quite normal. After all, the essence of the primordial universe is nothing compared to the Origin Continent. Even if the resurrection authority is special, it is simply unusable once you arrive on the Origin Continent.
"I am quite certain that the resurrection privileges obtained by normal cultivators will be suppressed by the rules on the Origin Continent, thus becoming completely ineffective."
As a god-king, the Mountain-Sitting Guest certainly has this much insight.
"But—if Chen Yuan's authority can even revive a true god, then whether he can be brought to the Origin Continent is really uncertain."
Even though the Mountain-Sitting Guest was a god-king in his previous life, he had never seen such an unusual situation before.
But to be fair, he secretly hoped that Chen Yuan could do it.
After all, his kingdom had already been destroyed. Although he was able to reincarnate, his wife, friends, and ministers had all perished.
This is also why the Mountain Hermit trains disciples—it's for revenge!
However, the Mountain Dweller's initial goal was only revenge, but when he heard Chen Yuan say that he could resurrect the true god, another thought lingered in his mind.
With Chen Yuan's current strength, he can already resurrect true gods. If his authority becomes even stronger in the future—wouldn't he be able to resurrect even stronger people?
If this authority can continue to grow and the resurrection limit is raised to the level of a Chaos Overlord, then all the people he cares about, especially his one and only beloved, will be able to be resurrected!
"Stay calm, don't let these thoughts disrupt your plans."
"Even if Chen Yuan's authority breaks the rules of the Cosmic Sea, it may not be able to break the rules of the Origin Continent. I cannot hold out hope yet."
The man sitting on the mountain closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down.
His only goal at present is to take revenge on the three rulers of the Food Kingdom. As for other ideas, he never dared to even think about them before.
"I cannot make unrealistic expectations, lest I fall into despair again."
With the composure of a mountain dweller, he quickly regained his composure. "Regarding the issue of Chen Yuan's resurrection authority, we'll ask him about it privately later."
"As for now—I should still make revenge my primary goal."
After clearing his mind, the mountain dweller calmly looked at the scene.
Only a second or two had passed at this point, and most people had already recovered from their shock and were intensely discussing the veracity of Chen Yuan's words.
However, unlike Giant Axe and Mountain Guest, although the others dared not question Chen Yuan due to his strength, most of them still held a skeptical attitude in private discussions.
After all, the idea of resurrecting the strongest is utterly absurd and completely defies common sense.
Especially on the side of the Ancestral God Sect, the three Ancestral Gods immediately denied it.
"That's impossible!"
A patriarchal god with a red-scaled tail, resembling a young boy, immediately retorted: "The resurrection authority of all powerful beings comes from the bestowal of the primordial universe, not from their own cultivation abilities."
"Under the primordial will, all beings are equal. Moreover, due to the limitations of the rules, even if the primordial will favors a particular life, it cannot grant that person authority far beyond the bounds of reason!"
As the agents of the original will, the Ancestral God Cult has an unparalleled understanding of the primordial universe, so the words of the young Ancestral God are quite convincing.
Even the Demon Ancestor Zhen, who was excited upon hearing that the Dream Demon Ancestor could be resurrected, couldn't help but calm down at this moment.
"You claim you can resurrect the Dream Demon Ancestor, but do you have any evidence?"
After Zhen Yaozu finished speaking, he continued, "Of course, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is too absurd. Throughout the known eras of reincarnation, I have never heard of anything like it."
There was a hint of expectation in his eyes, clearly hoping to get concrete evidence from Chen Yuan.
After all, even if what the young ancestral god said makes sense, Chen Yuan has created quite a few miracles in the past. Even if he broke the original rules of the universe, it should be reasonable, right?
Chen Yuan immediately saw through Zhen Yaozu's thoughts and smiled slightly: "Since I dare to speak, I must have absolute confidence."
"However, as you all know, reversing time and resurrecting someone comes at a price. The stronger the target being resurrected, the greater the backlash will be."
"Want to resurrect the Dream Demon Ancestor? — Only if you can afford the price."
His gaze swept over Zhen Yaozu, and he said slowly, "Don't even think about using the demon race to threaten me. Although I want to subdue all races peacefully, it's not absolutely necessary."
"Of course not."
Zhen Yaozu shook his head repeatedly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But the Ancestral God Sect also said that the resurrection of the strongest is unheard of. I wonder if the Primordial Lord can provide concrete evidence to prove it?"
"As long as there's evidence, I'm willing to pay any price!"
"Proof? That's simple." Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, then said, "Since I can resurrect a true god, I can naturally resurrect the lord of the universe as well."
"In the battle just now, in addition to Mengcha's death, more than two hundred universe lords also died."
At this point, Chen Yuan held up one finger: "A supreme treasure, or an equivalent source of the Great Dao, is the price for resurrecting the Lord of the Universe."
"Zhenjiao, if you want to see evidence, then pay the price, and I will demonstrate it for you."
"Really?!" Upon hearing this, Zhen Yaozu did not hesitate. "Alright! My demon race has accumulated some Great Dao Source over the years. Please demonstrate it to me."
"In the battle just now, our clan's 'Lord of Changjiu' also perished. Let us resurrect her."
"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded, and in an instant deducted an equivalent amount of the Great Dao Source. Then, in front of everyone, he began to reverse time and space.
"Certainly!"
When time and space reversed back to the battle just now, the scene suddenly froze. Chen Yuan reached out and gently scooped up the "Changjiu Lord" in the allied forces, instantly taking him away from the original time and space.
"Show!"
With a single scoop and a shift, the previously illusory body of the Lord of Chang's suddenly solidified, then blinked: "Wasn't I dead?"
"Changjiu!" A call made the Lord of Changjiu turn around, and then he quickly flew over: "Ancestor!"
She looked confused, because according to her memory, she should have been killed by the will of the Primordial Lord.
Zhen Yaozu carefully examined the Lord of Changjiu, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "It really is you, Changjiu, you have been resurrected."
"Resurrection?" The Lord of Changjiu was completely bewildered. She was the Lord of the Universe, how could she be resurrected?
"Go to the side first." Zhen Yaozu was in no mood to explain to her at this moment.
He looked at Chen Yuan again, his eyes filled with excitement: "Lord of the Primordial Beginning, now I truly believe! My demon race is willing to submit to the human race!"
"Then I want to revive Mengcha, please tell me the price!"
Chen Yuan first glanced around, and seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, he nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the publicity effect.
Yes, displaying the power of resurrection before the world was originally part of his plan to subdue all races.
He knew clearly that relying solely on force to suppress others, while temporarily making everyone submit, was not a long-term solution.
Over time, various conflicts will inevitably accumulate between the human race and other races, and then erupt in the unknown future.
To win the hearts and minds of all races, one must employ both kindness and severity.
Just now, he killed more than two hundred universe lords and dream demon ancestors with a single blow, breaking the protection of the original universe rules. This was a demonstration of his strength, that is, his power.
"To revive the Lord of Chang'e and display resurrection powers that exceed the rules is an act of grace."
After all, the importance of the Lord of the Universe to the race is beyond doubt. Faced with him, the only powerful being in the entire universe who can resurrect the Lord of the Universe, no race can guarantee that it does not have such a need.
With this power of resurrection, all races will be beholden to him, and even submission will be willingly granted.
Zhen Yaozu felt the same way at that moment. He looked at Chen Yuan with anticipation, thinking that as long as Meng Cha could be resurrected, it wouldn't matter if the demon race submitted to the human race.
Chen Yuan, who holds the unique power of resurrection in the Cosmic Sea, will never lack subordinates, because there are plenty of strong people who want to submit to him—after all, which family hasn't lost a cosmic lord?
Even among humans, there have been instances in history of cosmic rulers falling from grace.
Putting everything else aside, just looking at those 52 Chaos Steles tells us that there must be more powerful people than those, but many of them have already disappeared into the past.
But as long as Chen Yuan makes a move, those deceased powerhouses can be resurrected!
