347: Lei Lao's past

The Guixu Clan?

Those incredibly powerful bizarre entities and demonic creatures before were just a branch of the Guixu Clan... How powerful must the Guixu Clan be then!

Lin Chen's thoughts immediately raced.

The bizarre entities and demonic creatures seemed to be born solely to destroy all living beings.

Could it be that 'Yuan' established the Black Tower Trial and the Seed Trial precisely to cultivate Human Race powerhouses to resist the so-called Guixu Clan?

The two Ancestor Realm Experts looked at Lin Chen, having guessed what he was thinking.

"The Guixu Clan has a mysterious origin; they suddenly appeared countless eons ago."

"At that time, the Guixu Clan first emerged in the four-dimensional worlds within the territories of some major clans, which those major clans didn't take seriously at the time."

"But the Guixu Clan grew too fast!"

"In a very short time, the living beings in the four-dimensional worlds within the territories of those major clans were almost completely slaughtered by the Guixu Clan!"

"By then, it was too late for those major clans to try and stop them..."

"The Guixu Clan grew at a terrifying rate; they could rapidly become stronger simply by devouring living beings!"

"Soon, the Guixu Clan became the most powerful race in the Main World!"

'Yuan' explained the origin of the Guixu Clan to Lin Chen with a solemn tone.

After listening, Lin Chen's heart was stirred by a tempest of emotions.

He had witnessed the perversity of the bizarre entities and demonic creatures.

Bizarre entities could not be perceived by normal true spirits, essentially possessing the ability to be invisible.

Unless the true spirit's power far exceeded the strength level of those bizarre entities, they could not perceive the bizarre entities' existence... Moreover, bizarre entities could not be killed by physical methods; Great Dao Power had to be used.

Demonic creatures were even more troublesome; one had to target the 'core' of the demonic creature to kill it... And the most terrifying aspect of these two branches of the Guixu Clan was their ability to corrupt and parasitize ordinary living beings!

It was almost irreversible... What about the other branches of the Guixu Clan?

Or even the main lineage of the Guixu Clan?

Lin Chen knew that they must be even more powerful!

"Lin Chen, you must have guessed it by now, our Human Race is currently engaged in a great war with the Guixu Clan!"

"And it's a life-and-death struggle concerning the survival of our race!"

"This war has been going on for countless eons!"

"Our Human Race has lost an untold number of powerhouses..."

"To fight against the Guixu Clan, many of the Supreme Ranking Prodigies you see now have already fallen..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen finally gained a completely new understanding of the truth behind the Black Tower Trial and the Seed Trial.

He never expected the Human Race to be so powerful!

In that mysterious and vast five-dimensional Main World, apart from the Guixu Clan, the Human Race was already the strongest!

The Guixu Clan was dozens of times stronger than the Human Race.

Lin Chen understood how terrifying this was.

One must know that this Guixu Clan could continuously devour living beings to grow stronger!

Their method of becoming stronger was extremely simple and brutal!

How much longer could the Human Race resist?

Perhaps, this was why the Black Tower Trial had such a high mortality rate.

'Yuan' wanted to cultivate Ancestor Realm Experts, for example, 'Hao' was very likely cultivated through the Black Tower Trial and the Seed Trial.

'Yuan''s method of cultivating powerhouses was also simple and brutal, just like raising Gu; it didn't matter how many ordinary living beings died.

Perhaps, facing a terrifying race at the level of the Guixu Clan, only Ancestor Realm Experts could play a decisive role in the outcome of the war... At this moment, Lin Chen vaguely had a direction for his future growth path.

He had personally witnessed the power of the bizarre entities and demonic creatures.

If the Human Race's peak-level forces were defeated, the terrifying Guixu Clan would descend upon countless four-dimensional worlds!

At that time, the Blue Star Human Race would also be devoured... "Lin Chen, I have already seen some fragments of the future; with your talent and comprehension, achieving the Ancestor Realm is only a matter of time."

"The Human Race needs rising stars like you!"

'Yuan' said with a smile.

Lin Chen's expression was shocked upon hearing this; seeing fragments of his future?

His Grandmist Great Dao also contained the Great Dao of Time profound mysteries.

He could also see the future of living beings, but only those weaker than him, and at most, he could see fragments a few hundred years into the future... He was only in the Half-step Eternal Realm now; even if he possessed time-acceleration secret treasures, breaking through to the Ancestor Realm was still a long way off!

At Lin Chen's current Realm, each breakthrough required massive resources.

Also, the time for breakthrough would be longer; when he reached the Eternal Holy Master Realm, the time wheel and Martial Dao Space would no longer be effective... Despite such a long time, 'Yuan' could see fragments of his future and even be certain that he could break through to the Ancestor Realm!

At this moment, Lin Chen had a clearer understanding of the power of Ancestor Realm Experts.

"Senior Yuan, I wonder what stage the current war between the Human Race and the Guixu Clan is in, and if it's optimistic..."

Lin Chen asked with a worried expression; he had to ensure that the Human Race's peak powerhouses could hold out until he grew stronger!

'Yuan' sighed softly upon hearing this:

"The Guixu Clan is too powerful. Currently, our Human Race has allied with several major powerful races in the Main World to jointly resist the Guixu Clan."

"Our Human Race only has nine Ancestor Realm Experts, while the Guixu Clan has over a hundred Ancestor Realm Experts!"

"However, the direct combat power of our Human Race's Ancestor Realm Experts far surpasses those of the Guixu Clan's Ancestor Realm Experts, and all nine of our Human Race's Ancestor Realm Experts are immortal and indestructible. With the help of several Ancestor Realm Experts from other races, we are barely able to contain the Guixu Clan..."

"We can find ways to contain them on the front lines, but the Guixu Clan has too many members. They often break through our front-line defenses and invade countless four-dimensional worlds of our Human Race to wantonly devour..."

Over a hundred Ancestor Realm Experts?

Lin Chen's heart was greatly shaken upon hearing this; this disparity was truly too immense!

However, 'Yuan' specifically emphasized that the nine Ancestor Realm Experts of the Human Race were immortal and indestructible. Could Ancestor Realm Experts also be killed?

In his understanding, Ancestor Realm Experts had already transcended the River of Time, gaining the ability of eternal life and immortality... "It seems the Ancestor Realm is not as simple as I thought..."

After retracting his thoughts, a surge of fighting spirit ignited in Lin Chen's heart, and at the same time, he eagerly desired to quickly become stronger.

He understood that given the Guixu Clan's heaven-defying nature, even if the Human Race's Ancestor Realm Experts were immortal, countless dimensional worlds would still suffer!

"Lin Chen, the final Seed Trial is about to begin. With your talent and strength, there's no need for you to participate in that Seed Trial at all."

"Actually, participating in either the Black Tower Trial or the Seed Trial is sufficient. In the final stage of the Seed Trial, countless prodigies from various dimensional worlds will also gather for a life-and-death struggle."

"Relatively speaking, the probability of Supreme Ranking Prodigies emerging from the Seed Trial is higher, because the number of participants in the Seed Trial far exceeds that of the Black Tower Trial."

"You are currently the number one Supreme Ranking Prodigy in the Black Tower Trial, and you will receive a fortuitous encounter I have prepared for you."

"Once you break through to the Eternal Holy Master Realm, I will guide you to the Main World; that is the true base camp of our Human Race!"

No need to participate?

Lin Chen was stunned upon hearing this; what about Old Lei?

As his protector, Old Lei's greatest hope was for him to win first place in the final Seed Trial, thereby obtaining an opportunity to break through to the Ancestor Realm...

Lin Chen then explained Old Lei's situation.

'Yuan' smiled faintly upon hearing this, saying:

"Are you referring to Lei Wuji? I know this person."

"I didn't expect him to be your protector; how interesting..."

"Lei Wuji was once also a world-shaking genius, but unfortunately, he offended someone back then..."

"Otherwise, he might have been the next Ancestor Realm Expert..."

As he spoke, Lin Chen could clearly feel a sense of regret on the faces of the two Ancestor Realm Experts.

There seemed to be some unspoken difficulty.

Offended someone?

Wouldn't it be better for the Human Race to have one more Ancestor Realm Expert?

Just because he offended someone, the future of a super genius, and arguably the future of the Human Race, was ruined?

At this moment, Lin Chen suddenly realized that the Human Race's higher-ups might not be as united as he imagined, and perhaps even a bit selfish...
