391: Nine ancestral realm beings of the human race!

The middle-aged man, gnawing on the roasted chicken in his hand, exclaimed in admiration:

"I don't even remember how long it's been since I had such a delicacy..."

"Lin Chen, your Blue Star's research into cuisine truly is unique."

Hearing this, Lin Chen smiled and said:

"If Senior Yuan likes it, feel free to come and taste the food anytime."

"My Blue Star has countless delicacies; I guarantee Senior Yuan will be satisfied..."

Yuan burst into laughter, nodded in satisfaction, and said:

"Lin Chen, although I can see fragments of the future, I've noticed that your future seems to be covered by a layer of mist."

"What I see is not accurate..."

"When I previously observed your future, I saw that you would need at least 10 epochs to achieve the Saint Lord Breakthrough, yet you achieved the Breakthrough in just over a month..."

"I suspect that your timeline has been obscured by the heavenly dao will, making what I see inaccurate."

heavenly dao will?

Lin Chen knew that the heavenly dao will Yuan referred to was the Supreme Heavenly Dao of the Main World.

He understood this clearly.

The so-called person of heavenly mandate was merely a conjecture by 'Yuan' and 'Hao'.

His Opportunity was the System!

Even an Ancestor Realm Expert could not see through this System.

He guessed that the obscuration of the future timeline was also due to the System.

Although he did not know the true Origin of the System, he was certain that its background was far more terrifying than the so-called Supreme Will!

Since two Ancestor Realm Experts had pinned the identity of the person of heavenly mandate on him, it saved him the worry of the System's secrets being exposed.

Lin Chen naturally accepted this identity... "Senior Yuan, why does the heavenly dao will need to select the person of heavenly mandate?"

Hearing this, 'Yuan' grew solemn.

"The selection of the person of heavenly mandate is actually a form of self-protection chosen by the Main World."

"It is all because of the appearance of the Guixu Clan..."

"The Guixu Clan devours all life, and they even wantonly devour the Origin of countless Four-Dimensional Worlds."

"If this is allowed to continue, one day the entire Main World will be completely devoured by the Guixu Clan."

"The Main World's heavenly dao will can only passively protect itself and cannot directly intervene, which is why the person of heavenly mandate exists..."

So that's how it is... Lin Chen's expression shifted slightly; this Supreme Heavenly Dao was similar to the heavenly dao will of the Azure Cang Realm.

If external enemies invade this world, the heavenly dao will will repel them.

That's right, repulsion... Lin Chen suddenly recalled that when the foreign race Venerables from the Endless Realm entered the Azure Cang Realm, their cultivation Realm would be suppressed to the Transcendent Realm.

What about the Main World?

As an external race, does the Guixu Clan also possess Experts who surpass the Ancestor Realm Rank?

Yuan seemed to understand what Lin Chen was thinking; he smiled and said:

"The heavenly dao will of the Main World, like the countless Dimensional Worlds in the Lower Realm, does not possess independent consciousness; it is merely a form in which the supreme rule exists."

"Everything the heavenly dao will does is passive, and it cannot directly act to destroy the foreign race."

"The heavenly dao will selects the person of heavenly mandate, grants them great Opportunity to grow rapidly, and thus allows them to fight the foreign race—this is one method."

"Another method is to suppress the strength of the foreign race."

"However, it can only suppress beings above the Ancestor Realm..."

Above the Ancestor Realm?

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.

Has the Guixu Clan truly descended with this Rank of Realm?

"Senior Yuan, what Realm is above the Ancestor Realm? Does the Guixu Clan have Experts of that Rank?"

Yuan nodded solemnly and said:

"I don't know exactly what Realm is above the Ancestor Realm, because that Rank of existence has never appeared in the entire Main World since its birth."

"But I know that the Guixu Clan should have an existence of that Rank..."

"We call him the Guixu Old Ancestor... He is the Origin Ancestor of the Guixu Clan... incredibly mysterious!"

"A hundred billion epochs ago, the Guixu Clan, led by over ten Ancestor Realms, launched a massive invasion of our Human Race territory."

"Five Ancestor Realms of our Human Race joined forces and almost completely wiped out the Guixu Clan..."

"But during that battle, the Guixu Old Ancestor appeared."

"His power was truly terrifying; even the five of us together could only barely contend with him..."

"Since then, the Guixu Clan, under the leadership of that Old Ancestor, has frantically devoured everything, growing to the current size of over a hundred Ancestor Realms..."

Guixu Old Ancestor?

Hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but gasp in shock.

To be able to take on five Human Race Ancestor Realms alone—that level of power was indeed terrifying.

However, he also grew curious about the Human Race's Ancestor Realm Experts.

How could the nine Human Race Ancestor Realms contend against the hundred-plus Ancestor Realms of the Guixu Clan?

Moreover, the opposing side also had an existence suspected to be above the Ancestor Realm.

"Senior Yuan, I have always had a question."

"With only nine Human Race Ancestor Realms, how have you managed to hold back the Guixu Clan for so many years?"

Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"This brings us back to the person of heavenly mandate."

"Of our nine Human Race Ancestor Realms, four are persons of heavenly mandate!"

What?

Lin Chen's expression froze. There could be this many persons of heavenly mandate?

He had previously thought that only 'Hao' was the person of heavenly mandate... "Don't be surprised, this is the choice of the Supreme Heavenly Dao."

"After all, only our Human Race can currently fight the Guixu Clan, so the person of heavenly mandate can only appear in our Human Race Faction."

"With the help of the Supreme heavenly dao will, the person of heavenly mandate's path of cultivation will be incredibly smooth, and they will also be bestowed various Heaven-Defying Opportunities by the heavenly dao will."

"They can achieve the Ancestor Realm Breakthrough in a short time, and even quickly reach the Ancestor Realm Peak!"

This... Lin Chen felt envious upon hearing this.

At this moment, he also wanted to be the person of heavenly mandate.

But he knew that the resources on his cultivation path were all obtained through his own efforts.

The heavenly dao will had never given him any Opportunity or help... This was why he was certain he was not the person of heavenly mandate.

Next, Lin Chen asked 'Yuan' for information regarding the Human Race's Ancestor Realms.

After all, he was about to travel to the Main World, and knowing more would be beneficial.

'Yuan' already regarded Lin Chen as a prospective Human Race Ancestor Realm Expert, so he patiently answered his questions.

Soon, Lin Chen learned the information about the nine Human Race Ancestor Realms.

The nine Ancestor Realm Experts were the five who existed a hundred billion years ago: 'Yuan', 'Jin', 'Ling', 'Ming', and 'Gu'.

As well as the four Ancestor Realms chosen by the heavenly dao will: 'Hao', 'Ying', 'Lu', and 'Jun'.

The four Ancestor Realm Experts who were persons of heavenly mandate were all at the Ancestor Realm Peak Rank!

Among the five Ancestor Realm Experts from a hundred billion years ago, only 'Gu' had reached the Ancestor Realm Peak.

It was precisely because the Human Race possessed Ancestor Realm Peaks that they could contend with the Guixu Clan.

Moreover, the four Ancestor Realms who were persons of heavenly mandate possessed combat power far surpassing ordinary Ancestor Realm Peaks within the same Realm!

Among them, 'Hao' and 'Ying' provided the greatest assistance to the Human Race on the main battlefield!

This was something Lin Chen had not expected.

'Hao's comprehension of the Great Dao of space-time had reached an extremely profound Rank.

It could be said that there was no place in the entire Main World that 'Hao' could not reach!

Furthermore, 'Hao' was an existence that could not be killed.

He possessed three Clones: Past Self, Present Self, and Future Self, each walking on different timelines...

'Ying' was also terrifying.

He possessed extremely profound comprehension of the two Daos of replication and creation.

However, the more Clones he had, the weaker his strength would be.

If ensuring combat power, 'Ying' could simultaneously possess 50 Ancestor Realm Rank Clones!

On the main battlefield, 'Ying's contributions were also the greatest!

Through 'Yuan's explanation, Lin Chen also learned something else.

There was another condition required to achieve the Ancestor Realm Breakthrough.

That was the restructuring of the Great Dao!

The so-called restructuring of the Great Dao did not mean abandoning the Great Daos previously established.

Instead, one must select the 1 to 2 Great Daos most suitable for oneself as the core, while the remaining Great Daos would become branches to assist the core Great Dao, making the core Great Dao even stronger!

Only such a Great Dao could achieve Fusion with the Physical Body and the true spirit.

Otherwise, if the contained Great Daos were too numerous and complex, successful Fusion would be impossible.

For example, the Grandmist Great Dao Lin Chen comprehended was formed by the Fusion of hundreds of Great Daos; when the time came, he would have to select several core Great Daos to govern the rest.

Ancestor Realm Experts fundamentally only specialize in one or two Great Dao abilities!

Lin Chen's horizons were greatly broadened at this moment; not only did he gain a general understanding of the Human Race Faction's situation.

He also established a goal for his own cultivation path.

He had not expected 'Ying' to be so powerful.

"Tens of thousands of Clones? How does that compare to my One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?"

Lin Chen sneered inwardly.

He had long since added 'Ying' to his kill list!

"Alright, Lin Chen, since you have achieved the Saint Lord Realm Breakthrough, come with me to the Main World."

"Only there can you grow quickly..."
