Chapter 411 Chen Yuan's Trouble
When these words came out, everyone was stunned.
They weren't against Yuan Zu's suggestion, but they were puzzled as to how this matter was related to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuanlai should become the leader of the human race? In terms of strength, the other party is indeed about the same, and in terms of contributions—whether it is the existence of the cultivation space or the care that the Primordial Tower provides to the human race, these contributions are not much different from those of the Giant Axe.
However, even if others have no objections, the most crucial person in determining whether this matter can be accomplished is still Giant Axe himself, since he is the true leader of the human race today.
"Me? I have no objection."
Giant Axe nodded decisively, then said, "As long as I relinquish the leadership to Chen Yuan, will you, Primordial Ancestor, be able to escape after ten thousand epochs?"
For him, the most important thing was whether the original ancestor could escape. As for the position of leader—in the end, it was just a title.
After all, with his strength, even without this title, would other powerful humans not listen to him? Of course they would.
The only difference is that now there is another Chen Yuan above everyone else, and Chen Yuan's strength and contributions are enough to convince the other high-ranking officials.
Normally, even without the title of leader, as long as it's Chen Yuan's suggestion, the other high-ranking officials would generally give him face and approve it directly. After all, who hasn't gone into the Tower of Primordial Chaos to spend money?
Over the past few decades, the human race's high-ranking officials have made a fortune by scavenging relics and remains in the cosmic sea and selling them at the Tower of Primordial Beginning. They are all rolling in money, with each of them possessing no fewer than two top-tier treasures.
With this layer of benefit in place, virtually no one in the human race's upper echelons was willing to oppose Chen Yuan. Now, having an additional title of leader only makes Chen Yuan's position more legitimate.
So the giant axe didn't really care about that. What he cared more about was whether what the progenitor said was true, that as long as he had a title, the other party could be freed after ten thousand epochs.
If it's true, then this deal is incredibly worthwhile.
"Don't worry, when have I ever lied to you?"
Yuan Zu smiled faintly, thought for a moment, and then revealed the truth to everyone: "Actually, whether I can get out of this predicament in the future depends entirely on whether Chen Yuan helps me or not."
"As for mastering the power of illusion, although it is also crucial, without Chen Yuan's help, even if I can escape using the power of illusion, the timeframe is uncertain."
The Primordial Ancestor shook his head slightly, "Perhaps I won't be able to do anything until the end of the cycle of reincarnation."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances. So that's how it is. No wonder the progenitor made such a suggestion.
Since whether the Primordial Ancestor can escape depends entirely on whether Chen Yuan is willing to help, it is very important to know how to persuade him. After all, with Chen Yuan's current strength, the human race can hardly help him anymore.
The fact that a leader's title could secure the original ancestor's release was indeed an incredibly good deal.
As for whether Chen Yuan could actually do it, the others wisely refrained from asking further.
After all, the original ancestor might have some concerns and clearly didn't want to talk about it, so they naturally wouldn't say anything.
"Teacher," the Lord of Darkness said with a smile, "From what I know of Chen Yuan, my disciple is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. Even if you don't give him any benefits, he will still help you. You can rest assured."
"Of course I know that."
Yuan Zu glanced at everyone and said calmly, "But to be honest, Chen Yuan also needs to take a risk in this matter. He can help or not."
"In fact, Chen Yuan had already promised me that he would help me get out of this predicament ten thousand epochs later, and that I would not have to pay any price."
"But—" He shook his head, "Chen Yuan can help me without considering the consequences, but I can't accept it with a clear conscience."
"So after much thought, I realized that the only thing that could help Chen Yuan was the name of this leader."
"That makes sense." Giant Axe nodded. "Don't worry, Ancestor. Since Chen Yuan is willing to help with this, I will never let him suffer a loss. I will convene a Supreme Council later to announce this matter."
"There's no rush," Yuanzu waved his hand and said, "Chen Yuan doesn't know about this yet, so there's no need to announce it in a hurry."
"I'll talk to him again later and see what he thinks."
As he spoke, he looked at everyone and said with a faint smile, "After all, the position of leader is both a power and a responsibility. We don't yet know whether the other party is willing to be the leader, so of course we have to ask them."
"Otherwise, if you convene a supreme meeting and Chen Yuan then refuses, wouldn't we be forcing him to take office? That wouldn't be ideal!"
"I see, I understand now."
Giant Axe nodded again. "Then I'll wait for news from Chen Yuan. If he's willing to take on this responsibility, I can announce it at any time through the Supreme Council."
"Hmm." The Primordial Ancestor nodded, looking at the giant axe, and sighed, "I'm sorry to have wronged you."
"What's there to complain about?" Giant Axe grinned. "For me, getting you out of that prison is more important than anything else!"
The progenitor gazed at the giant axe, a figure he had always remembered as a younger brother, and was now growing to this extent, a sight that filled him with awe.
"Then let's leave it at that." The Primordial Ancestor said softly, "Chen Yuan's main body has already entered the Black Pattern Stone Pillar area of the Spaceship for seclusion, and I shouldn't disturb him now."
"However, given the time flow in that region, it probably won't be long before he finishes his cultivation."
"I will talk to Chen Yuan about this matter after he finishes his cultivation."
"Understood." Everyone nodded, and no one suggested waking Chen Yuan up in advance, since it wasn't a big deal.
However, the Lord of Darkness had a question in his mind. He clearly remembered that this disciple had been cultivating in the Primordial Secret Realm not long ago, and had even appeared in the Primordial Tower when it opened.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Chen Yuan had actually run into the spaceship without even informing him.
It should be noted that information about the Cosmic Sea is only passed down orally among high-ranking officials and is not uploaded to the internet. As a result, Chen Yuan left without telling him, leaving the Lord of Darkness feeling helpless and somewhat guilty.
After all, he had no idea that Chen Yuan's virtual universe network had already covered the cosmic sea, and even the three major forbidden zones.
But he knew in his heart that since Chen Yuan was his disciple, everyone else assumed that he had already told them about the Cosmic Sea, but in reality he had not said anything at all!
"Never mind, let's ask Chen Yuan about his situation after he finishes his seclusion."
The Lord of Darkness shook his head inwardly, "Anyway, with the strength of my disciple, he's probably not far from the Giant Axe level. Few people in the Cosmic Sea can harm him, so let him go and explore."
Ever since this disciple fought against the strongest beings of the four universes in the primordial universe and earned the title of "Primordial Lord", the Lord of Darkness understood that this little disciple had already soared to great heights and was no longer in need of his protection.
Sometimes, even he couldn't handle the trouble Chen Yuan caused, because it was too difficult!
Just like the last battle against the four strongest beings in the universe, if it were the Dark Lord instead, he would probably suffer a great loss even if he didn't die there.
But if it were Chen Yuan, not only would he be unharmed, but he would also cause great losses to the three alien races. His teacher was far inferior to him.
"I can only wish you all the best, my disciple."
The Lord of Darkness could only offer his silent blessings.
Although Chen Yuan had his teacher's blessing, his cultivation was not as smooth as he had imagined, and he still encountered some setbacks.
Of course, this setback did not come from within, but from outside, namely from the other powerful individuals adventuring in the cosmic sea.
As time passed, Chen Yuan's Primordial Eye successfully deciphered the information of the 11th black-patterned stone pillar—not only the secret patterns, but also the relevant information about that pitch-black stone pillar.
As expected, after obtaining the complete information on the secret patterns of the 11th stone pillar, Chen Yuan roughly understood the attributes represented by these patterns after a brief review.
"As expected, they are all time-related runes."
Chen Yuan nodded slightly. He wasn't surprised by the attributes of the secret runes, after all, the hundreds of thousands of times time acceleration was right there.
As for these shocks to his will? Since he hadn't mastered all the runes, he only instinctively felt that there should be some runes involved, but the main reason was the material of this stone pillar.
"The materials of these runes and stone pillars are of extraordinary quality, at least at the half-step Chaos level, and are probably comparable to the complete Wu-Slaying Wings."
Chen Yuan was pleasantly surprised, because the secret patterns of a black-patterned stone pillar, combined with the material of the pillar itself, provided him with a total of 6% proficiency in the Primordial Eye.
It should be noted that this represents the fifth level of the Chaos level, and because some of the experience was converted into the proficiency of the fourth level, it is much higher than he initially expected.
Based on this ratio, a complete black-veined stone pillar might bring a 7% increase in arcane proficiency, provided that the information recorded on these stone pillars is not entirely the same.
In fact, although Chen Yuan felt that the information on these stone pillars could not be exactly the same, there must be a considerable amount of similar information. Therefore, he did not expect to advance the Eye of Primordial Beginning to the next level based solely on this information.
But it doesn't matter. Besides these stone pillars, he also has the Nameless Sword Embryo and the Star Tower to gain experience, which should be enough to meet the requirements for the fifth level. Even if it's not quite there, it shouldn't be too far off.
So, after collecting information from the 11th stone pillar, Chen Yuan prepared to move to another location to continue collecting. In any case, he could cultivate the secret art of willpower from any stone pillar, but not from the Eye of Primordial Beginning.
However, when Chen Yuan left Pillar 11 and headed to other pillar areas...
Since the other stone pillar areas were not as deserted as Stone Pillar No. 11, even though Chen Yuan was careful, his figure was still discovered by some cultivators wandering in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space.
Moreover, due to the existence of the Primordial Tower, news about Chen Yuan was quickly learned by the cultivators in the primordial universe as it spread.
Almost everyone knows that a wealthy person has appeared in the primordial universe. His strength is only that of a universe master, but he possesses no less than ten supreme treasures!
Therefore, trouble soon came knocking on Chen Yuan's door after he was spotted.
