476: Please help me.

As for the matters of the Ancestral Witch Clan, Chen Heng handed everything over to Luo Shuo and Wu Man.

Even though Luo Shuo was a bit weak, he was still the First Prince of the Eastern Demon Alliance who had undergone formal training.

Managing such a small number of Primal Species was still easy for him.

When Chen Heng said he was going into seclusion, the others also understood one thing.

The day to truly confront the Root was not far off...

When Chen Heng arrived at the Dragon Tomb, the first one to rush out and greet him was Snake Green.

“Master!” Snake Green pounced into Chen Heng’s arms, rubbing against his body with force.

“Find me a quiet place, I have something important to do.”

Chen Heng patted Snake Green’s little head, taking her off him.

“Are you going to...” Looking at Chen Heng, whose Aura was becoming increasingly terrifying, Dragon One also seemed to realize something.

“I plan to go into seclusion and raise my strength to the limit.”

Chen Heng clenched his fists. He had a premonition that breaking through the Martial Extreme Realm was greatly related to the Heaven and Earth Martial Scripture and the heaven and earth blood fetus.

However, after the last violent Optimization, Chen Heng also learned some lessons.

So this time, he planned to take his time, striving to raise himself to the limit within a month.

“I understand.” Dragon One nodded, leading Chen Heng towards a quiet room in the Dragon Tomb.

“Mr. Chen, I think you should already know the key to dealing with the Root, right?”

As the three walked, Dragon One asked calmly.

“What key?” Chen Heng was stunned for a moment. Hadn't they already figured out how to deal with the Root before?

“This...” Dragon One stumbled, almost falling to the ground. She never imagined that Chen Heng hadn’t even thought about how to deal with the Root.

Could it be that this fellow clansman of the Creator wasn’t very bright?

“Never mind...” Dragon One sighed, still planning to discuss it with Chen Heng.

“You already know that the Root has split itself into three parts, hidden in the past, present, and future timelines respectively.”

“Since you’ve already prepared to face it, that means you’ve mastered the method to enter the river of time, right?”

“No, I haven’t. We can talk about that after I come out of seclusion.” Chen Heng was a bit confused. Why was Dragon One suddenly talking about these things?

“...” Dragon One didn’t know how to evaluate this fellow clansman of the Creator anymore. She only felt exhausted now.

“If you say so, then crossing the river of time probably isn’t a difficult thing.”

But Dragon One still found a lot of useful information from Chen Heng’s words.

At least one thing she could confirm was that Chen Heng truly possessed the ability to step into the river of time.

“But have you noticed?”

“Even if you can step into the river of time, how will you find the specific time point where the Root is hidden?”

“The clues available now are very few. The river of time is incredibly vast; even if one spent their entire life searching in it, they might not find it.”

“What exactly do you want to say?” Chen Heng was getting impatient. He didn’t care about these things at all.

Even if the river of time was vast, he could just search slowly.

Anyway, as long as he wanted to live, he would never die. If it didn’t work, he would just wear down the Root.

In any case, Chen Heng definitely couldn't let the Root comfortably initiate the Ultimate Return.

“Those previous words were all groundwork. What I’m saying now is the real key.”

The three stopped in front of the quiet room, and Dragon One turned to face Chen Heng.

“After so many years of exploration, and with the guidance of the Creator’s legacy, I have a way to pinpoint the exact time where the Root is located.”

“But I need your assistance. The Creator’s legacy is stored within the world-suppressing nail that suppresses the Root, and I cannot approach it.”

“Or rather, no living thing can approach the Root.”

“You should have said so earlier.” Chen Heng thought it was something serious. It turned out to be another exploration of the world-suppressing nail.

The only difference was the somewhat tricky location, but that was no problem for Chen Heng at all.

“So, you’re willing to help me with this?” Dragon One’s eyes lit up. She hadn’t expected Chen Heng to be so agreeable.

“Who said I was going to help you?” Chen Heng raised an eyebrow, taking two steps forward.

Chen Heng stared at Dragon One without blinking, and in the depths of his seemingly calm eyes was an almost infinite madness.

“It seems you still don’t understand me enough.” In the end, Chen Heng still didn’t intend to make things difficult for Dragon One, as they were still ‘friends’ on the same side.

“I never said I would help you. All of this is for myself.”

“Or rather, for my family and friends.”

“I understand...” Only then did Dragon One notice that the back of her clothes was soaked with cold sweat.

“Open the door. After I come out of seclusion, I will naturally retrieve that thing you spoke of.”

“But if I retrieve it and you cannot pinpoint the time of the Root’s location, then don’t blame me for digging out your Dragon Pearl and feeding it to Snake Green.”

“Okay.” Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Dragon One showed no anger, seemingly confident in her idea.

“Alright, let’s go. I don’t like being disturbed when I’m in seclusion.”

Chen Heng waved his hand and walked into the quiet room alone.

When the quiet room’s door closed, Dragon One let out a long sigh.

“Believe in yourself, Dragon One, you will fulfill the Creator’s final instructions...”

Snake Green, who was watching Dragon One reminiscing about the past, shook her head and left.

Her Master was so powerful and worked so hard; she also needed to quicken her pace, at least not to hold her Master back.

Looking at Dragon One’s current state, she probably couldn’t be relied upon. It was better to go and trick the seemingly foolish Dragon Six and Dragon Seven~

...In the quiet room, Chen Heng opened his System panel.

Looking at his current various information, Chen Heng decided to first perfect the Bloodline of the Four Fiends of Antiquity.

Crushing the Boiling Blood, that familiar feeling of Epiphany instantly struck.

Chen Heng didn’t hesitate and immediately clicked on the Optimization behind the Taotie Bloodline.

When all three Boiling Blood were crushed, Chen Heng’s Taotie Bloodline finally reached 100%.

Once the Taotie Bloodline reached Perfection, the true power belonging to one of the Four Fiends of Antiquity truly manifested.

【Bloodline Divine Ability evolves into Innate Divine Ability】

【Mouth of Taotie → Sky Devourer】

【Sky Devourer: Can devour all existence in the world, including rules, and completely transform them into its own nourishment.】

Chen Heng’s eyes lit up. This Sky Devourer after Perfection was indeed very strong.

Just as Chen Heng was pondering how to use this move to disgust the Root, the second Innate Divine Ability belonging to the perfected Taotie Bloodline slowly emerged.

【Bottomless Stomach: When the Taotie Bloodline is activated, you will never be satisfied, and your stomach will become a Small World.】

Seeing this description, Chen Heng suddenly realized that his dragon skin pouch seemed useless.

He could still distinguish which was better: a fragile Storage Pouch or a personal space with no upper limit.
