244: Grab the ancestral spirit of Zhou

Just as the wall and the two Dragons thought the dust had settled, a black-haired, black-eyed Eastern man suddenly appeared, intending to flee the moment he grabbed the gate.

“Heh, so there's a little thief after all.”

Andrew's voice was mocking, not panicked in the slightest. With the protection of two level-eighty-plus Divine Dragons, he felt incredibly safe.

Xu Le's true body grabbed the gate, thinking of sending it into the Contract Space.

“Whoosh!” The gate disappeared.

“Stop!” Andrew's face suddenly contorted, but Xu Le didn't even look back, immediately performing a “Wormhole Shuttle” to appear deep within Hell.

Yes.

The very Hell where Satan was Sealed.

If possible, he wanted to shuttle to the side of the twelve-winged angel, but the Beidian Continent was different from here; gods and humans didn't live together. The only one with enough weight to take the blame for him was Satan.

This time, Xu Le didn't hide in the Contract Space or stash the void realm stone in the lava. Instead, he directly activated his magic power and “bestowed” the void realm stone upon the Little Silly Crow on Blue Star.

The moment the bead disappeared, Xu Le entered the space and immediately dove into the gate of flesh and blood.

Ten seconds later.

The two Dragons and the wall activated the Void-Tracking Boat and appeared in Hell, but they felt the aura of the gate of flesh and blood vanish.

Andrew constantly activated the Void-Tracking Boat, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean; the tracking signal had disappeared without a trace.

He had placed eleven magic markers on the gate of flesh and blood, one of which he had even deliberately disguised as an evil Ghost and used methods to block magic detection. He was almost certain it was foolproof, yet... Andrew lowered his head and took out a mirror: “Young Master, the gate is lost.”

A figure identical to Andrew appeared on the other side of the mirror: “Hahaha, wasn't it lost on purpose? The resentment of ten thousand Ghosts has materialized. Except for the Nebula Demon General of back then, anyone who goes there in the last hundred years will die. If they really come out alive and the resentment of the gate of flesh and blood is completely cleared, I wouldn't mind granting them a billion believers. Hahaha...”

Andrew wanted to cry but had no tears: “The gate is completely lost?”

The person on the other side felt his heart skip a beat: “What? Someone actually touched my Family's heirloom Divine Artifact? They're looking for death!”

...Xu Le's vision blurred. When he opened his eyes again, he felt an indescribable weakness from his Divine Soul to his Physical Body. The world had lost its color, and he could only vaguely see some outlines, but they weren't clear.

Something was stuffed into his mouth. He was hungry and thirsty, so he instinctively began to suck.

!!!

“I've transmigrated again!”

“That gate really was a trap; you die the moment you enter. I've had a Rebirth, or is the world inside the gate just like this?”

Xu Le heard someone speaking, but without his Divine Soul, he couldn't understand at all.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, nine months had gone by.

Xu Le's luck in this life was pretty good. He was born into a wealthy Family, with not only professional wet nurses and nannies but also a specialized medical team. Aside from the embarrassment of being unable to control his bowels, life was quite pleasant.

If it weren't for the language barrier, he would even suspect he had returned to Earth Star.

Everyone was a Mortal, and the technological products were similar to those on Earth Star.

“Let's go, Xiao Le, we're going to the Zhuazhou ceremony!”

The wet nurse came over, picked up Xu Le, and walked outside. Also leaving were his twin sister, Xu Huan, and her wet nurse.

But Xu Le was a bit dazed. He thought that after nine months of effort, he had barely managed to understand the language of this world, but he felt he had misunderstood again.

Whose child has a Zhuazhou ceremony at nine months old?

It couldn't possibly take three months to travel there!

He had taken a plane in this world once, and it wasn't inferior to those on Earth Star at all.

Soon, along with bodyguards, the group got into four luxury cars and headed out of the city.

After driving for about two hours, the cars finally stopped.

Everyone arrived at a simple and ancient village. The buildings were all made of wood, and even the paths in the village were dirt roads.

It wasn't until they entered the largest house that he realized this was the Ancestral Hall of the Ancestral Home.

Xu Le vaguely felt that he would come into contact with the mysterious side of this world today.

Otherwise, who would be rich enough to hire two cars of bodyguards and two wet nurses, yet couldn't afford to build an asphalt road?

There were many babies who came with them for the Zhuazhou ceremony, ranging from half a year to a year and a half old.

Xu Le also had the honor of seeing his dad for the first time, a middle-aged man who looked like the whole world owed him fifty billion.

Seeing Xu Le and Xu Huan, he squeezed out a smile, which looked very forced.

Holding the two of them, his whole body was stiff.

Xu Le felt the other's muscles. Hmm, he was even more certain now; he was just a Mortal.

“Son, daughter, call me Dad!”

Xu Le rolled his eyes. For now, he hadn't shown any linguistic talent. On the other hand, Xu Huan, who was beside him, kept calling out “Ba, Ba,” staring at Father Xu and even smiling at him.

“Oh my, this little girl is so sweet!” The people around them quickly flattered.

Hmm, this dad seems to have quite a high status!

An old man wearing a simple and ancient Daoist robe walked over to preside over the Zhuazhou ceremony.

The ceremony wasn't like the one in Xu Le's memory, where a pile of rattles, wooden swords, and gold ingots were placed on the ground. Instead, a group of children were placed on seats similar to dining carts to prevent them from moving around.

The old man shouted in a drawn-out tone: “Mortals, withdraw!”

Everyone retreated. Xu Le looked back over the backrest and saw that there were still eight adult men left in the room, one of whom was his dad.

The old man held a bell in his left hand and a peach wood sword in his right, singing and dancing like he was performing a Shamanic Ritual.

He danced for half an hour straight, drenched in sweat. Xu Le concluded in his heart: “It looks fancy, but he's still just a Mortal.”

The old man finished singing and finally ended with a rhythmic cadence: “Everyone, stay clear. We invite the ancestral spirit!”

???

Xu Le saw the adults in the room turn their backs, and then the world began to turn magical.

The tablets in the Ancestral Hall moved on their own without any wind, and the smoke from the sacrificial offerings suddenly became intense, floating into the air and then abruptly disappearing.

Xu Le's eyes widened: “No way, there's actually real feudal superstition?”

The smoke thinned and vanished. Xu Le looked at the offered food; there seemed to be no difference.

But the biggest problem was that the steaming hot food from just now was no longer emitting any steam.

Immediately after, his vision blurred, and he saw a golden Dragon roar as it dove into his body, then dove out even faster.

???

The golden Dragon's body faded a bit. It looked around and charged directly into Xu Huan's body. Then, a transparent kitten was seen being driven out of her body.

“Master Brother, choose me, okay?”

Xu Le heard a familiar voice. In a daze, he saw his Contract Space. Nine Phoenix, Little Dog, and the other pets were all looking at him eagerly, as if there was a perfect opportunity to come out and be with him.

The Contract Space was rapidly fading. It seemed that if he hesitated any longer, he would lose such a precious opportunity.

Xu Le thought of the eerie scene from before. This world wasn't that simple; he naturally chose the most obedient and powerful one.

“Ghost!”

A hint of gloom flashed in Kunpeng's eyes. It hid behind the other pets, looking as if it didn't care.

After Xu Le made his choice, he saw the Contract Space disappear, replaced by a new space.

Ghost happily dove inside.

Boom!

The newborn space was squeezed until it burst, and Xu Le directly fainted.
