Chapter 524 - The Strongest Experts in the Two Worlds (1/2)
A snowy day in winter.
On Archean Mountain, Li Guan, Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Meng Chuan arrived at a bleak and empty grotto-heaven. “In the blink of an eye, I’ve reached the end of my life,” said Li Guan with a smile as he stared at the Millennium Hall in front of him.
Meng Chuan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang looked at Li Guan.
At that moment, Li Guan looked extremely old. His hair was snow-white, and his face was covered in wrinkles. He was nearing the end of his lifespan, and his age was apparent.
“Senior Brother, you have sacrificed plenty for Archean Mountain and humanity all these years,” said Qin Wu solemnly.
“I was born during humanity’s prosperous times,” said Li Guan with a sigh. “Godfiend sects fought each other, killing one another. I once killed an enemy Godfiend that shocked all parties. After becoming a Supremacy, I wanted to roam the outer realm once I reached the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm. Who knew that the Demon Realm and Archean Eon Realm would get closer and closer to each other? World Entrances even appeared. Therefore, I spent the rest of my life fighting the demons.”
Meng Chuan listened.
“Many Godfiends have risked their lives to guard the World Entrances.” Li Guan had mixed emotions. “In the past 900 years, too many Godfiends have died. Too many names have been left on Blood Red Cliff.”

Meng Chuan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang fell silent.
It was true that many Godfiends had died because of the war. Many were fellow disciples they were familiar with.
“The situation got worse. I was even prepared to use the Heaven and Earth Great Hall and unleash World Annihilation. Although that will stop the demons, our generation of Godfiends will become the sinners of humanity. Even if we save the world, we won’t be able to wash away our sins.” Li Guan looked at Meng Chuan. “Thankfully, a miracle appeared after 900 years.”
Luo Tang nodded and looked over. “Thankfully, Meng Chuan appeared.”
“Therefore, I think it was a very wise decision for me to let him enter the Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven,” said Qin Wu with a smile.
“Hahaha…” Li Guan, Luo Tang, and Meng Chuan laughed.
If he hadn’t entered Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven and obtained the Cosmos Body cultivation system legacy, Meng Chuan wouldn’t have been able to wipe out one million demon monarchs alone. Even if he gained enough strength to reverse the situation later, many more humans would have died. The situation would’ve been much worse.
“I don’t have any regrets in my life.” Li Guan’s old face was very calm. “Now that I’m nearing the end of my lifespan, I only have one final dream. I want to see us humans finally winning this war. I haven’t slept for 1,000 years, so I can still continue sleeping… When we emerge victorious in the war, wake me up. I’ll have no regrets after seeing our victory and celebrating,” said Li Guan with a smile.
“Senior Brother, you will definitely see it,” said Qin Wu.
“We will definitely win,” said Meng Chuan.
Li Guan nodded slightly and walked towards Millennium Hall…
Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.
Meng Chuan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang sat down.
“Meng An is also a Supremacy. He should have been here to send Senior Brother Li off,” said Qin Wu.
“That kid became even busier after becoming a Supremacy.” Meng Chuan shook his head. “It should be Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s legacy. He obtained the core legacy. Ancestral Master Archean Eon made arrangements for every stage of Meng An’s cultivation. He went into seclusion again, and who knows how long he will be in seclusion.”
Luo Tang and Qin Wu nodded. “Yes.”
Back then, the demons had sent a large number of fifth Firmament demon monarchs into the World Gap. They then infiltrated the human world, but Meng Chuan had wiped out all of them. That battle had completely established Meng Chuan’s status as the strongest person in the world.
About 20 years after that battle, Meng An became a Supremacy. Doing the math… It had only been slightly more than ten years since he became a Supremacy.
After becoming a Supremacy, Meng An became even more mysterious. He would occasionally disappear for a few years.
“Meng Chuan,” said Qin Wu seriously, “are you sure your family doesn’t want to take over the Great Zhou Dynasty’s throne? According to the rules, the Li family should be abdicating and passing it to your Meng family.”
Luo Tang looked at Meng Chuan. “Senior Brother Li is only one year away from his death. The Li family will soon abdicate. The entire family clan will migrate out of the imperial capital.”
“There’s no need.” Meng Chuan shook his head and said, “I think it’ll be good if the Great Zhou Dynasty doesn’t have an imperial family. The Imperial Court’s cabinet can manage the secular world, while the sect supervises the rest. There’s no need for an additional imperial family.”
Most importantly, Meng Chuan didn’t see anyone suitable to be an emperor in the Meng family. Meng An and himself were focused on cultivation.
Meng An had always been single. Even with Yan Jin’s cold personality, he married and had children after he was 100 years old. His son, Meng An, remained single the entire time. This vexed Meng Chuan.
His daughter, Meng You, and Yang Cheng had generations of descendants… However, they were considered part of the Yang family. They weren’t surnamed Meng, so they naturally couldn’t be counted. The Meng family’s original members? They had a distant relationship with Meng Chuan. Furthermore, if one wanted to be an emperor, one had to condense an Essence Soul and reach the Darkstar realm at the very least. Meng Chuan also hoped that his descendants would be more simple and humble. Therefore, he decided that the Great Zhou Dynasty would not have an imperial family. Meng Chuan felt that it wasn’t a bad choice.
“Alright, Archean Mountain is under your control now. According to the rules, this throne belongs to your Meng family. Since you have given up on it, it’s up to you,” said Qin Wu with a smile.
