```
Realizing this, Li Cheng bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, senior, for your help!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand, "This is originally a part of the Divine Realm, rightfully to be returned. It is you who are helping me."
"May I ask, how should I address the senior?" Li Cheng asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man shook his head, "To you, I am but a passerby in the annals of history millions of years ago, why bother with a name? Take care!"
As his voice faded, the middle-aged man vanished, and the stele bearing the imprint of his palm also shattered with a loud bang.
Li Cheng clicked his tongue. This was a presence that transcended even the Divine Emperor, yet the present Divine Realm would likely find no trace of his existence.
Time, not even a being like the senior could defeat it.
Gathering his focus, Li Cheng pressed his hand onto the ground, the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture running at full strength, his divine power spreading towards the entire ruins!
In a few breaths, the ruins had been completely enveloped by Li Cheng's divine power, and indeed, space power began to emerge, causing the ruins themselves to start contracting!
However, at the same time, the formation was affected, instantly shattered by those Divine Venerables!
In an instant, thousands of terrifying forces bombarded the ruins!
Li Cheng felt his scalp tingle. Although he could easily slay these Divine Venerables, facing the attack of thousands, even an ordinary Divine Emperor would have to retreat, how could he possibly handle it?
But just then, an eerie power surged out from the broken stele, shooting up into the sky and exploding midair, instantly decimating most of the God Race's Divine Venerables!
Li Cheng's pupils shrank. Had the senior left behind an attack?
This attack, after billions of years, could still so easily slaughter more than three thousand Divine Venerables, a testament to that senior's formidable strength all those years ago.
Li Cheng's reaction was extremely swift, taking advantage of the shock and the ensuing chaos in the order caused by this strike to the God Race, he immediately activated the Divine World, instantly pulling in those who survived the ordeal.
In the blink of an eye, peace returned to this part of heaven and earth, only the lingering power of the senior swept through.
With the help of a senior from billions of years ago, Li Cheng felt sincere gratitude, but unfortunately, did not even know the senior's name.
Without time to dwell on such thoughts, Li Cheng, using the Divine World, executed those God Race Divine Venerables, then continued to communicate with the ruins.
Now, there were still two to three thousand God Race Divine Venerables roaming around various parts of the Secret Land. Surely, the previous burst of power must have scared off some, but it would also attract others. He had to act quickly.
Once this spatial bubble shrinks to a certain range, he would be able to carry it using the Divine World.
That would be when the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable and the others fought.
As the ruins continued to shrink, it indicated that the entire Secret Land was contracting, and the Spirit of the World hidden beneath seemed to sense the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture and did not flee because of it.
This was undoubtedly good news. Even if he couldn't take the entire Secret Land, he could still just take this area of ruins, successfully bringing the Spirit of the World with him.
"Brother Cheng, I've actually found more than twenty Divine Origins in the hands of these Divine Venerables. Should I put them on the World Divine Tree for it to absorb?"
Yun Fuxue's voice came from within the Divine World.
She was unaware of the situation outside.
Li Cheng's mind stirred, and he took nine Divine Origins from Yun Fuxue. Array Patterns emerged all around him, and in an instant, the nine Divine Origins, under the pull of the Array Patterns, formed a vast formation.
This unnamed formation left by the great monster of heaven and earth, laid out with Divine Origins, was immensely powerful. No matter how many Divine Venerables arrived, they couldn't possibly break through.
And since these Divine Origins came from the God Race, they had a stronger restraining effect on them, as this was suppression of the essence of power.
Just after setting it up, indeed, more Divine Venerables arrived.
Li Cheng pressed one hand to the ground to continue driving the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture while with the other hand, he expanded the formation continuously, startling the newcomers into fleeing.
"Divine Emperor powerhouses can't enter the Secret Land, what is happening now? Is someone refining Divine Origins at this time?"
"No, this is a formation set up using the power drawn from Divine Origins. Everyone be careful, if you get pulled into the formation, with our Divine Venerable Realm cultivation, we might not be able to move at all."
The discussion spread, as all the God Race members kept retreating with the expansion of the formation, not daring to be affected by it.
But after retreating for a million miles, they discovered that this Secret Land seemed to be shrinking!
```
After observing for a moment, someone thought of something and hurriedly shouted, "The Human Tribe is gathering the Secret Land, quick, everyone leave this place, and immediately report this matter!"
If we don't leave now, once we're taken away along with the Secret Land, that would be the end of us!
In a flash, the remaining members of the God Race retreated, fleeing desperately back the way they had come.
Outside the Outer Great Wall, a group of Divine Emperor powerhouses appeared all at once, gazing at the entrance to the Secret Land above the wall.
The Divine Venerable of the God Race were seen fleeing from it as if in escape, landing on the other side of the wall and disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Something must have happened inside!" someone speculated.
"Is that even a question? The God Race made a millennium-long promise for this Secret Land, but now their Divine Venerables are fleeing out one by one like this, there must be a change!"
"Hurry and summon the Sovereign of Origin! It seems a big event is about to occur!"
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable didn't show himself, but his voice echoed in everyone's ears, "No need to panic, just be ready for battle!"
Everyone frowned. Battle readiness? Hadn't the God Race promised a thousand years of peace?
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable said no more. At the moment, he was in the Divine Palace, frowning at the Long River of Time before him.
The river flowed on as before, only now the ripples that had been coming from it were alarming enough that he dared not take them lightly or leave, ready to respond to Confucius Ancestor at any moment.
At the God Race camp, the thousands of Divine Venerables who had escaped were kneeling on the ground, not daring to let out a breath.
Over a hundred Divine Emperors stood all around, all with grim expressions on their faces.
The one at the front was an old man with a hooked nose; his sharp gaze swept over the kneeling Divine Venerables, "A single Divine Venerable from the Human Tribe scared away thousands of you?"
His voice carried anger, making people's scalps tingle.
He was the Clan Leader of the God Race, the strongest among them. If it weren't for the barricade of the Outer Great Wall and the discovery of the Secret Land hiding the Spirit of the World, he would have led the Divine Emperors of the God Race to break through the wall long ago.
"Clan Leader, it can't be blamed on them. After all, we have lost so many Divine Venerables, which shows how powerful that Divine Venerable from the Human Tribe is," someone spoke in their defense.
"Yes, Clan Leader, since the Secret Land is about to fall into human hands, let's consider what to do next!"
The persuasions of several Divine Emperors calmed the Clan Leader down.
He took a deep breath, "On the human side, someone entered the Long River of Time, and our ancestors couldn't stop them. I had hoped to seize the Spirit of the World and be free of worries for the future, but you!"
"Hmph! Enough, since the Human Tribe is already gathering the Spirit of the World, we will divide our forces into two groups: one will continue to attack the Outer Great Wall, and the other will guard the Secret Land, ready to kill anyone from the Human Tribe who appears after gathering it!"
At the command, the God Race immediately sprang into action.
The Outer Great Wall, standing for countless years, even left by those in the Supreme Realm, had long lost its former power. Many Divine Emperors working together would eventually break through it.
The Clan Leader personally waited outside the entrance to the Secret Land, while other powerhouses joined forces to attack the wall.
Here, where the Order of Heaven and Earth was extremely quiet, their advantages could not be brought into play, but with over a hundred Divine Emperors working together, their divine might was vast and their momentum formidable.
Sensing the actions of the God Race, the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable frowned. He had already fortified the Outer Great Wall with the twenty-seven heavens, but with the current situation, it could hold at most one more day.
Once the wall was breached, it was certain that God Race powerhouses would take the opportunity to break through the seal and head for the Divine Realm.
Then, it would be a disaster for the Divine Realm!
"Confucius Ancestor, please come back soon!" the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable inhaled deeply, his eyes fixed on the Long River of Time.
Whoosh...
Suddenly, the turbulent waters of the Long River of Time stilled, and Confucius Ancestor was seen stepping out of the Coffin of Hundred Lives, surging from it!
The moment he left the Long River of Time, the Coffin of Hundred Lives crumbled to dust as if its mission was completed.
Confucius Ancestor was weak, and the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable quickly supported him, concerned, "Elder, how are you?"
Confucius Ancestor caught his breath and nodded slightly, "Only some lifespan was lost, it's nothing."
Regulating his breath, Confucius Ancestor continued, "I have clarified the situation, and the heavenly secrets we derived were correct!"
