Long Chen knew very well that the Progenitor was a suspicious and cruel dictator.
There must be a reason why the Progenitor allowed him to stay on the Ancestral Star.
Now that he knew that Long Chen had secretly appeared here, the Progenitor might not believe him even though Long Chen said that he had come here by accident.
This was a huge problem.
The Sky Heart Emperor was still guarding his daughter. Although he had missed a chance to revive his daughter, he did not regret it. After all, the Progenitor's power was deeply rooted in his heart. Just like the Sky Heart Emperor in the past, he would not have a good ending if he went against the Progenitor.
"You should leave. The Progenitor hasn't done anything for a long time. Maybe he's already making a move, maybe even coming this way. If you don't leave now, you won't have another chance. It's best that you leave the Ancestral Star as soon as possible and return to the myriad worlds that belong to you."
"Also, let me remind you that it's impossible for you to obtain the Divine Curse Ring."
The Sky Heart Emperor said helplessly.
Long Chen was naturally depressed, but things had already happened. Just as he was wondering if there was any other way to get the inheritance essence blood, Gui Qi suddenly came looking for him.
"Long Chen, the Progenitor has taken control of me. He's pulling me to the Ancestral Star. Save me!"
Her voice was very anxious and mournful. She was clearly frightened. The Primitive Ancestor's speed was simply too fast. He had not even reached Emperor Blood Star, but he had already taken Gui Qi away. After all, Gui Qi was only a God Emperor. If the Primitive Ancestor was really angry, he could have killed Gui Qi on the spot from such a long distance.
After saying that, she seemed to be restrained by the Progenitor and went silent in the blink of an eye.
Long Chen did not expect that the Progenitor would first look for Gui Qi after something happened here. As the ruler of the Ancestral Star, he completely disregarded his status and directly threatened Long Chen.
This time, he could not even leave the Ancestral Star temporarily.
Gui Qi was still here.
"Fortunately, I've left a Cosmic Gate's location on Phantom Qi. I should be able to return to her side before she reaches the Ancestral Star."
Lingxi said hurriedly.
"Let's go."
Since Gui Qi was their friend, he couldn't care less about the inheritance blood essence. Long Chen hurriedly let Lingxi out of the World of Life. He activated the Universe Gate and stepped into it, disappearing from Sky Heart Emperor's sight.
"The Heavenheart Emperor informed the Primordial Ancestor right from the start, but Gui Qi only sent the message to us now. Clearly, Gui Qi didn't have a chance to send the message to us in the beginning. Only now did he have a chance. The Primordial Ancestor wants to capture Gui Qi and fight with us face to face."
In the Divine Kingdom, Mo Xiaolang frowned and analyzed.
They were supposed to take the initiative, but because Gui Qi was on their opponent's side, they were likely to fall into an extremely passive situation. They were restrained by the Ancestral Ancestor. The Ancestral Ancestor was the kind of person who wouldn't make a move, but once he made a move, he would be ruthless, leaving his opponents with no chance to resist. For example, the Sky Heart Emperor was suppressed by him.
"Ghost Seven might not be in the hands of the Progenitor. Let's get there first."
This time, it was a small mistake that led to the current situation, causing the decisive battle that Long Chen had anticipated to happen much earlier. Now, he could only brace himself and fight.
Swoosh.
The Gate of the Universe traversed billions of miles.
Suddenly, Long Chen appeared in the starry sky. Lingxi, who had completed her mission, returned to the Divine Kingdom. She couldn't help him now, so protecting herself was the most important thing. After all, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Ancestral Ancestor was the strongest person in the myriad of worlds.
The person Long Chen was fighting now was the true strongest person in the myriad of worlds.
"Woo woo …"
As soon as he arrived, he saw that Gui Qi was enveloped in a gray mist. She couldn't move or speak, and could only stare at Long Chen in pain and panic. There was a large number of curses in the mist, and they completely locked her up like iron chains.
At this time, Gui Qi was swept up by the mist and was rapidly falling towards the Ancestral Star at a terrifying speed. That's right, this was already very close to the Ancestral Star. If the Ancestral Ancestor had gone to the Emperor Blood Star at the beginning, he would have appeared immediately.
Hearing the Sky Heart Emperor's words, the Ancestral Ancestor grabbed Gui Qi across the distance between the Ancestral Star and the Emperor Blood Star and dragged her towards the Ancestral Star. At the same time, he also went past the Emperor Blood Star. The distance between the nine great companion stars was not as close as the distance between them and the Ancestral Star. After all, the Ancestral Star was the core of the nine great companion stars.
"You actually have such a method to arrive here in an instant."
Sure enough, as soon as Long Chen arrived, a phantom appeared in the direction of the Ancestral Star. In an instant, he appeared beside the mist and stepped on it. With a pinch of his hand, the mist under his feet condensed into a small ball, which he pinched in his hand. Only then did he look at Long Chen with a trace of admiration in his eyes.
"What a miracle. I originally thought that I had you under my control, but you displayed such a method to cross millions of miles in an instant. It really scared me. It seems that if I didn't have the foresight to capture Gui Qi first, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to control you."
Now that Gui Qi was in his hands, and the Ancestral Ancestor had seen that Long Chen could escape at any time, he knew that he could make use of Gui Qi. This was what made Long Chen depressed.
Long Chen said, "Ancestral Ancestor, I think you've misunderstood. I was just curious and saw the direction of the Cursed Star. I knew that it was a deserted place, so I went there to take a look. Coincidentally, I met Heavenly Emperor Heaven's Heart, so I followed him there. I really didn't mean anything else. I wonder why Ancestral Ancestor captured Gui Qi."
The Ancestral Ancestor's three eyes flickered with a strange light. He suddenly smiled and said, "I have a curse that can force Gui Qi to tell me everything. Not to mention Gui Qi, even you wouldn't be able to withstand my curse. You'll tell me everything. In fact, I've already asked you before you arrived. Otherwise, how would Gui Qi have the opportunity to inform you?"
The Ancestral Ancestor sneered as he looked at the sealed Gui Qi. Now, Gui Qi was looking at him apologetically, her eyes filled with helplessness. Long Chen didn't blame her. He could only blame himself for being careless.
It was normal for Gui Qi to be unable to withstand the Ancestral Ancestor's technique.
"Therefore, it's said that one of your ancestors was cursed to control time. Therefore, it's normal for you to come here for the Cursed Ring. I believe Heavenly Emperor Heaven's Heart has told you about it. I'll be honest with you. Firstly, I won't go to the Myriad Worlds for no reason, let alone for you. Secondly, the Cursed Ring is my clan's supreme treasure. Even I regard it as a sacred tool. I don't use it often, let alone lend it to an outsider. Therefore, you can only give up on this idea. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite even if you're my guest."
The Ancestral Ancestor only talked about the Cursed Ring, but he didn't mention the essence blood. Gui Qi should be the one guarding the Cursed Ring. Now that the Ancestral Ancestor knew about it, it was just that he had to expose it in advance.
However, when the Ancestral Ancestor mentioned the Cursed Ring, he looked as if it was impossible.
"Ancestral Ancestor, is there no room for negotiation? You can come with me to the Myriad Worlds. I can guarantee that I'll give you a satisfactory reward."
Long Chen said sincerely. In the current situation, he would try not to fight if he could avoid it.
"Are you kidding? We're talking about the Nightmare Petrification Curse and the Daynight Soul Curse. Do you know how much I'll have to pay for them? And no one in the Myriad Worlds can compensate me for that. Besides, the Cursed Ring is a divine item of my clan. We won't use it for anything else. Say no more. I'll give you a choice now. Leave the Ancestral Planet immediately."
The Ancestral Ancestor's cold gaze swept across Long Chen, not giving Long Chen a chance to resist.
"Go."
The fact that the Ancestral Ancestor was willing to let him go was already good enough for Long Chen.
"If I leave now, I can come back at any time with the Gate of the Universe. It'll be convenient and I'll have time to prepare. But …"
He could leave, but Gui Qi was still in the Ancestral Ancestor's hands.
Long Chen said, "Ancestral Ancestor, since you don't agree, there's nothing I can do. But I want to ask, can I take Gui Qi with me?"
Gui Qi had brought Long Chen here. It was as if he was a traitor. The Ancestral Ancestor treated traitors with the Sky Heart Emperor as an example. That was why Long Chen was worried. The Ancestral Ancestor smiled coldly.
The Progenitor smiled coldly. "Am I being too nice to you? Do you think that I'm easy to talk to? Phantom Qi is from the Ancestral Star. She's the Bloodthirst Monarch of the Ancestral Star, so it's only natural that she stays here. As for you, if you don't leave now, I won't have the patience to talk to you."
"Then can you guarantee that you won't punish Gui Qi after I leave?" Long Chen asked.
After hearing this, the Ancestral Ancestor stopped smiling. It seemed that Long Chen's words had touched his bottom line. His expression instantly became incomparably cold.
He stared coldly at Long Chen and increased the strength in his hand. The mist began to shrink, and Gui Qi, who was in the mist, let out a shrill scream. She had already suffered a lot, and it was the same when the Ancestral Ancestor interrogated her. Now that she was being tortured, Long Chen felt deeply guilty for her.
As he moved, the Ancestral Ancestor said, "Gui Qi, let me tell you, she has committed the greatest crime of the Ancestral Planet. She must die. Do you still think that I won't punish her? I'm giving you one last chance, Long Chen. If you don't leave, then you're no longer a guest of the Ancestral Planet, but our mortal enemy."
The words' mortal enemy 'made Long Chen understand the Ancestral Ancestor's real intention. The Ancestral Ancestor had no intention of letting Long Chen leave. Although he had put it nicely, anyone in the know knew that he was torturing Gui Qi to force Long Chen to take the initiative to attack him. If one of the four future rulers came to provoke him because of Long Chen, the Ancestral Ancestor would still be in the right. It was Long Chen who didn't know what was good for him and refused to leave.
The Ancestral Ancestor's viciousness and foresight was as sinister and terrifying as this cursed land. He showed no mercy, and Long Chen could see Gui Qi's pained expression.
"Hurry up and leave."
