"Tell him what?" Qinglan's beautiful eyes were filled with doubt, like two clear lakes shrouded in mist.
"You didn't know either?"
Liao Chen was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise on his face.
He immediately frowned deeply, his previously calm expression turning serious, and slowly said, "There is a World Tree in the Primordial Chaos Realm! You must have heard of this, right?"
Seeing Qinglan nod slightly, Liaochen continued seriously, "Once the Primordial Chaos Realm is opened, all the restrictions of the temple will fall into place!"
"At that time, the news will spread like wildfire throughout all the heavens and myriad worlds."
"It's easy to imagine that almost all powerful beings at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm would be moved by the news and rush to the Primordial Origin Realm to compete for the World Tree!"
"After all, the opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm is enough to drive anyone crazy."
As Liao Chen spoke, he gestured in the air as if he could see countless powerful figures surging in from all directions.
"With so many powerful individuals at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm gathered together, what do you think will happen next?"
At this point, Liao Chen suddenly stopped talking and remained silent, staring quietly at Qing Lan in front of him, as if trying to discern something from her expression.
Qinglan's slender eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her originally fair and delicate cheeks were slightly pale due to her inner worry.
She bit her lip and replied in a similarly solemn tone, "If so many half-step Heavenly Dao Realm experts were to really fight, the aftershocks of their fierce battle would probably be enough to completely destroy the entire Hongmeng Origin Realm!"
"That's right!" Liao Chen nodded in agreement upon hearing Qing Lan's words.
Then Liao Chen took a deep breath and continued, "But this is not what I am most worried about. What I am really worried about is that this conflict caused by the World Tree may very well lead to the reclusive Primordial Dao Ancestor!"
"The Primordial Dao Ancestor?" Upon hearing these four words, Qinglan was struck dumb, her entire body instantly frozen in place.
Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief, and her once rosy lips had lost all color, turning as pale as snow.
Not only that, her body began to tremble slightly, as if she were enveloped by an invisible fear.
Seeing Qinglan's expression, Qin Feng was also taken aback. He thought to himself, "The Primordial Dao Ancestor? Just hearing the name sounds incredibly powerful! Could it be that this legendary figure has already reached the Heavenly Dao Realm?"
Thinking of this, a hint of awe flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.
Looking at Ling Xueyan again, her expression was unpredictable, sometimes showing surprise, sometimes looking puzzled.
Her beautiful eyes shone with an indescribable light, making it impossible to fathom what she was thinking.
However, unlike the previous three, Qing Jie and Jin Xiaoman remained unusually calm. They stood there without any reaction, as if they had no interest in the title of "Primordial Dao Ancestor".
It took Qinglan a while to recover. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Then she looked directly at Chen and asked, "The Primordial Dao Ancestor...wasn't he already fallen? Why has he suddenly reappeared now? How is this possible?"
As she spoke, Qinglan's voice trembled slightly, revealing that she was still filled with fear and unease deep inside.
Faced with Qinglan's doubts, Liaochen simply shook his head slightly, then sighed and said, "Alas, that was the Primordial Dao Ancestor!"
"He was undoubtedly the strongest being in the primordial world back then. How could someone like him fall so easily?"
At this point, a look of reverence appeared in Liao Chen's eyes.
“That’s right!” Qinglan nodded gently, a thoughtful look appearing on her beautiful and refined face.
Then, her delicate, willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she asked softly, "If someone were to vie for the World Tree, would the Primordial Dao Ancestor truly appear?"
After a moment's thought, Liao Chen slowly replied, "In my opinion, there's at least a 70% chance!"
Upon hearing this, Qinglan fell silent.
A 70% probability is not low!
Therefore, it seems that there must be some close connection between the Primordial Dao Ancestor and the World Tree.
Just then, Qin Feng, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, finally couldn't contain his intense curiosity and eagerly interjected, "Just how powerful is this Primordial Dao Ancestor? Could he be at the Heavenly Dao Realm?"
Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Liao Chen shifted his gaze from Qing Lan to Qin Feng.
He gazed at Qin Feng and explained slowly, "This Primordial Dao Ancestor did not truly step into the Heavenly Dao Realm, but he successfully fused with the Primordial Heavenly Dao of that time."
"Although his cultivation level has not yet reached the Heavenly Dao Realm, in terms of strength alone, he is almost on par with the Heavenly Dao Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's eyes widened instantly, his mouth gaped open, and his face was filled with astonishment. It took him a long time to recover before he couldn't help but swear, "Holy crap! He can even fuse with the Heavenly Dao! That's amazing!"
"Now that you all know about the existence of the Primordial Dao Ancestor, do you still insist on opening the Primordial Origin World?" Liao Chen asked Qin Feng.
Qin Feng frowned slightly, lost in thought!
He wanted to open the Primordial Chaos Realm in order to find an opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm!
He is now at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm, only one step away from the Heavenly Dao Realm!
Would he be willing to give up so easily?
At this moment, Ling Xueyan strode forward, her eyes flashing as she looked at Chen and asked, "If we insist on opening the Primordial Origin Realm, will you stop us?"
Upon hearing this, Liao Chen shifted his gaze to Ling Xueyan. He stared intently at her face, observing her quietly without uttering a word.
Ling Xueyan felt extremely uncomfortable under Liao Chen's gaze, even experiencing a slight chill down her spine. After a while, she finally couldn't help but speak up. "Hey, what's the meaning of staring at me like that?"
A subtle, unusual glint flashed in Liao Chen's eyes, followed by a slight smile. "Fellow Daoist, have we met before?"
"What?" Ling Xueyan was taken aback, then said, "You are an ancient god, how could I possibly have met you? It must be your imagination."
"Is it just my imagination?" Liao Chen's lips curled up slightly, forming a meaningful arc.
