217: Chapter 217 A Wisp of the Ancient Soul
The moment his consciousness was forcibly expelled from the Fallen God Domain.
Inside the Temporary God Domain.
"Two months, huh..."
Lin Chuan murmured softly, his voice like a great bell, echoing within the grand and vast God Domain.
"It is enough."
To a Demigod, two months was but a fleeting instant.
But for Lin Chuan, as long as he accelerated the devouring and harvesting of Power Of Will...
He was completely confident that within two months, he could forcefully push his status to the terrifying level of a Middle-Tier or even a High-Tier Demigod!
When that time came.
With the hundredfold amplification of four layers of Demigod Domains.
Even if he faced six ancient Demigods alone, he would have absolute certainty in crushing their Laws one by one!
"However, I still need to be cautious."
With a single thought, Lin Chuan's will crossed the spatial channel established by the Old Master of the Skeleton and projected back into the Real World.
Lin Chuan looked toward the Yanlong Empire!
Although before a Demigod, the power of the Yanlong Empire's Bureau 749... could be called fragile ants!
But Lin Chuan knew that the Yanlong Empire was not as simple as it appeared on the surface!
Beneath its vast territory and within the long river of its immense history, many earth-shaking secrets were buried that even gods felt wary of!
Whether it was that human emperor sword.
Or those Kunlun Ruins that hid endless great horrors.
Or even that Mysterious Youth who could cleave the sea with a single sword strike.
All of them proved the mysterious depth of the Yanlong Empire's heritage!
After watching the Yanlong Empire for a moment.
Lin Chuan directly took everything that had happened within The Temple of the End.
Including the six Demigods' mad plan to sacrifice the Third Layer of the Nightmare World and the Real World to open a passage to the 'True Realm'.
Without reservation, he projected it into the minds of Xia Xuanyuan and that Mysterious Youth.
After learning everything.
Xia Xuanyuan's body trembled violently.
Facing Demigods who intended to destroy the world, this old man could no longer remain calm.
He was furious!!
Sacrificing the Real World!
Wiping out ten billion humans!
In the eyes of those high and mighty gods, the civilizations, struggles, and sacrifices of humanity over these thousands of years...
Were actually just fuel to awaken a dead object!
"Two months..."
A roar like that of a dying beast issued from Xia Xuanyuan's throat.
"Gods... Heh!!"
Even the Mysterious Youth, who always maintained a transcendent posture, had an earth-shaking Sword Intent burst from his cold eyes that was enough to tear the sky apart!
"To dare desire the destruction of my homeland..."
"They shall be executed!!"
The youth gripped the broken sword on his back, his Killing Intent soaring to the heavens.
He suddenly looked up at the Void Realm and spoke directly to Lin Chuan:
"Buddha Venerable..."
"I cannot participate in this matter."
There was a hint of extremely rare bitterness and unwillingness in the youth's voice.
He desperately wanted to take his sword and charge into the Third Layer of the Nightmare World to strike down those so-called high and mighty Demigods from their divine pedestals one by one!
But he couldn't.
"The abnormal movements in the Kunlun Ruins have reached an extremely dangerous edge."
The youth's gaze turned toward the eastern horizon, where an extremely decayed aura seemed to be roiling faintly.
"That Green-haired Old Corpse that walked out—its status when alive was very likely a true... Fallen God!"
"Once it fully awakens and walks out of Kunlun."
"The Real World will instantly turn into a forbidden land without those six Demigods even needing to perform their sacrifice."
"I must stay here and guard Kunlun to the death."
Hearing this, Lin Chuan fell silent.
He was aware of the abnormal movements in the Kunlun Ruins.
If the Mysterious Youth was not there to guard it, once the things inside the Kunlun Ruins emerged, even the current Lin Chuan would be implicated and affected!
"No matter."
Lin Chuan's voice responded indifferently.
Immediately after, he spoke to Xia Xuanyuan again:
"Whatever hidden heritage the Yanlong Empire has left, bring it all out."
Xia Xuanyuan did not speak immediately upon hearing this.
Before a true Demigod, humanity's current technology and taboo powers were as fragile as paper.
With the Yanlong Empire's current heritage, it wouldn't be too difficult to contend with an SSS-Rank Ninth Stage taboo.
But to face a god directly, Bureau 749 of the Yanlong Empire could not do it.
Just as Xia Xuanyuan was feeling deeply powerless.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord."
An extremely abrupt Daoist chant, yet one that carried an indescribable sense of ancient vicissitude.
It suddenly rang out in a corner of the Command Hall!
The voice was not loud, yet it seemed capable of penetrating all dimensions and all rules and Laws...
As the voice faded, Lin Chuan instinctively felt a chill all over his body!
The source of this voice seemed to want to peep into all of his secrets!!
In the Third Layer of the Nightmare World, Lin Chuan's Buddha Eyes suddenly constricted.
Not just Lin Chuan, but even Xia Xuanyuan and the Mysterious Youth's expressions changed drastically.
Because in this heavily guarded hall filled with countless Taboo Rules, a person had actually appeared out of thin air!!
It was a Middle-aged Daoist wearing tattered Daoist robes.
He leaned lazily against a support pillar, his hair disheveled, holding a dirty Wine Gourd in his hand.
The man emitted a foul stench, looking like an old beggar who had lived on the streets for decades.
But under Lin Chuan's Eye of True Sight!
The Middle-aged Daoist's body was actually completely transparent!
He had no physical form, no flesh and blood, and even... no Karma lines belonging to this dimension!
Strictly speaking, he was not a living person!
"Who is Your Excellency!?"
Lin Chuan's Demigod rules erupted, spanning across the two worlds to dead-lock onto this eerie Daoist.
However, facing Lin Chuan's Demigod Laws, the Middle-aged Daoist merely picked his ear casually and even let out a wine-scented burp.
"Just a nobody."
"No need to be nervous."
The Daoist's voice carried a deep exhaustion and an unerasable sorrow.
"Speaking of which, this humble Daoist has long since forgotten his own name."
"If you must call me something..."
"You can call me a wisp of... Remnant Thoughts of the 'Ancestors'."
Remnant Thoughts of the Ancestors!
As soon as those words were spoken, Xia Xuanyuan and the Mysterious Youth's expressions froze.
The two of them well knew the weight represented by the words 'Ancestors'!
The era of the Ancestors was even more distant than the age of mythology...
Legend had it that humans of that era did not need to drive the supernatural; they themselves could Control the Laws of heaven and earth, and even... slay True Gods!
But this was merely a legend, with no substantive evidence to prove that era's existence.
And now.
A being claiming to be the Remnant Thoughts of the Ancestors was actually standing right before them in the flesh!
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Chuan stared at the middle-aged man, his voice laced with undisguised murderous intent.
Lin Chuan had encountered 'Ancestors' before.
In the Dongsheng Continent, not all 'Ancestors' would stand on the side of the 'Real World'.
Against this middle-aged man, Lin Chuan had to be on guard.
"This humble Daoist has no ill intent."
Facing Lin Chuan's vigilance, the Middle-aged Daoist waved his hand, and a depth that saw through life, death, and dimensions appeared in his cloudy eyes.
"Furthermore, in the time to come, this humble Daoist is willing to travel with you all to the Third Layer of the Nightmare World... to suppress those rebellious Demigods!!"
The Daoist's tone was very flippant.
But in every word he spoke, there was a contempt for Demigods!
