Originally, the Ancestral Fiends were prepared to gather all the power of the Primeval Troll to conquer the Infinite Worlds one by one. Of course, the prerequisite was to kill Long Chen and Master Chaos first.
Once the strongest were dealt with, there was basically no one who could stop the three Ancestral Fiends.
However, after witnessing Long Chen's methods and power, and guessing from the Ancestral Star that Long Chen must have left behind the Death Dragon Gate in every world, the three Ancestral Fiends knew that a concentrated attack would result in a decisive battle the moment the war began.
While the Primeval Troll were not worried about defeat, they did not want to suffer too many losses either.
Their strength was not much stronger than that of the Infinite Realms and the Chaos Gods. Of course, on the side of the Infinite Realms, the only one that they were afraid of was Long Chen. Apart from Long Chen, they did not take the four rulers seriously at all. On the contrary, because the Chaos Gods Realm was a unified Origin World, they were more cautious.
Therefore, the three Ancestral Fiends changed their plan.
Their goal was to prolong the war. The first step was to fill the entire Infinite Worlds' starry sky with Primeval Troll. All the Primeval Troll would be scattered to such an extent that Long Chen would need countless years to kill them all.
As long as the three Ancestral Fiends defeated Long Chen and Master Chaos, and then killed the strongest of each world, the Primeval Troll could launch an all-out attack and devour the Infinite Worlds.
Trillions of lives would all become food in their stomachs.
When that time came, every Primeval Troll would be unprecedentedly powerful. Attacking the other Origin Worlds would basically be a piece of cake.
To the three Ancestral Fiends, the difference between the Infinite Worlds and other Origin Worlds was that the Infinite Worlds' structure was composed of the Chaos God Realm and Long Chen, while the other worlds were just one Origin World.
The difference was Long Chen.
Therefore, Long Chen was an existence they had to eliminate.
"Long Chen is secondary. It is said that during the conflict between the Gods and Demons of the Infinite Worlds and the Chaos Gods, there was an existence that defeated Master Chaos in one move. Although he later disappeared, he must be our true opponent. If we don't eliminate him, we will not be able to carry out our war."
"Therefore, we must lure him out and kill him at all costs."
This was the conversation between the three Ancestral Fiends.
When they were talking, the passageway leading to the Myriad Worlds in the Ancient Dragon Devil Tomb had already been completely opened. This kind of passageway was just like the passageway between Long Chen's Realm of Life and Death in Pangu Continent.
It could be opened and closed at any time, and was the true entrance to the World of Life.
As for the Dragon Devil Ancient Tomb, for example, its entrance in the Southern Star Domain was the Heavens Secret Realm, the deepest part of the Universe Hive, which was once guarded by the Eternal Illusion Demon.
Now that Long Chen was in the Death World, his attention was focused on the 10,000 worlds. The time was up, and he was constantly preparing.
However, it was clear that the Primeval Troll's passage into the World of Myriad Worlds was not around these ten thousand worlds.
He did not know that countless Primeval Troll were pouring into the World of Myriad Worlds. They staggered from all the worlds and began to disperse in the endless starry sky. The starry sky of the Myriad Worlds was simply too huge. Therefore, every Primeval Troll was like a speck of dust that had entered the sea. It might not be difficult to find one or two in the starry sky, but it was impossible to find all of them.
The more scattered, the more difficult it would be to resolve the future crisis.
Scatter, scatter.
The powerful Primeval Troll began to scatter with the ordinary Primeval Troll.
One day passed, ten days passed. At least on Long Chen's side, there was no movement at all.
However, he did not know that with the methods of the three Ancestral Devils, in less than a period of time, all the Primordial Giant Demons in the Dragon Devil Ancient Tomb had already entered the Myriad Worlds. Now, the Dragon Devil Ancient Tomb was empty.
"What are they doing?"
More than ten days had passed, and there was no movement at all.
Long Chen was also very puzzled.
The other experts basically stayed in their own worlds, preparing at all times.
As for Long Chen's battle strength, they were all in the Death World, ready to support any place at any time.
However, a month had passed, and there was still no movement at all. It was as if the Primeval Troll had disappeared without a trace.
"Could it be that they have attacked other worlds first?"
This was Long Chen's guess, but even so, he could not relax in the slightest. Moreover, once the Primeval Troll conquered other worlds, if it was easy, they would become even more tyrannical.
Long Chen prepared to go out with Lingxi to take a look.
He moved a few worlds, but there was still no movement at all. Suddenly, he had an idea and said: "Let's go to the Universe Hive to take a look."
Because he did not leave the Death World Dragon Gate in the Universe Hive, he had to go to the Hongjun Starry Sea first. After arriving, Long Chen greeted the Heavenly Dao Divine Emperor.
"I felt that there was some movement at the Universe Hive a few days ago, but there is no movement now because I was worried that the Primeval Troll would launch a sneak attack, so I did not go over to take a look."
He was different from Long Chen, and he could not return instantly.
"Alright, I'll go take a look."
Long Chen let Lingxi return to the Death World, and he went alone. He was extremely fast, distorting time, and not long after, he arrived at the Universe Hive. When he arrived at the Universe Hive, Long Chen looked over and there was really a Primeval Troll in the distance.
Suddenly, Long Chen appeared in front of him and controlled his movements. It was just a Demon King-level Primeval Troll, and it could not escape from Long Chen's palm.
Long Chen used the Heart's Eye of Wishes to control it instantly.
"Let me ask you, what are the three Ancestor Fiends doing now?"
With the Law of Wishes, Long Chen was not worried that this fellow would not tell him everything.
However, when the Law of Wishes invaded, Long Chen suddenly felt an unprecedented resistance from the Primeval Troll's body. It was the power of an Ultimate Demon Sovereign, and it instantly forced Long Chen out of the Primeval Troll's body.
"Hehe."
The eyes of the Primeval Troll in front of him glowed with an illusory light, and it was incomparably deep. It was clearly a Demon King-level Primeval Troll, but its aura had completely changed, as though its soul had changed.
"So you're Long Chen? This is the first time we've met," Long Chen said with a smile.
Although the Primeval Troll was being controlled, it spoke to Long Chen in an extremely calm tone.
"Who are you?"
In fact, Long Chen had a rough idea of what was going on. This Primordial Giant Devil was indeed an ordinary being. But in reality, he was being controlled by another Primordial Giant Devil far away. That Primordial Giant Devil was controlling his body and talking to Long Chen.
"As for me … I'm the person you want to see. They call me … Ancestor Xi."
Ancestor Wa, Ancestor Xi.
Clearly, it was one of the three Ancestor Fiends.
"So it's you. Looks like the three of you have already escaped from the Demonic Dragon Tomb. Why haven't there been any movements these days? You once claimed to conquer the Myriad Worlds, are you afraid now?"
Long Chen narrowed his eyes, and his gaze was like a sharp sword that pierced into the other party's eyes.
"You really know how to joke. Compared to the Myriad Worlds, I'm actually more curious about you. It seems like you know something about the Myriad Worlds before the epoch. If that's the case, you'll definitely be very curious about one thing."
The other party was the most powerful Primeval Troll created by the Sky Swallowing Clan. Or perhaps, he knew a lot of things.
"What you want to know the most is whether the appearance of the Primeval Troll was because of the Sky Swallowing Clan's orders, or whether we escaped the seal ourselves, and escaped without the Sky Swallowing Clan knowing. Am I right?"
If it was something the Sky Swallowing Clan did not know about, then it would be better … At least the Sky Swallowing Clan had not awakened yet. But if it was the Sky Swallowing Clan's orders, then it would be truly dangerous for Long Chen.
This was indeed the thing he wanted to know the most.
Ancestor Xi smiled. Before Long Chen could reply, he said, "Of course, this is the final riddle. To make this game more interesting, the final riddle will definitely be revealed at the end. In other words, when you have the possibility of exterminating the Primeval Troll race, but I don't think it's possible."
From the beginning to the end, he was the one speaking.
"Why is it impossible? Because our boss wants to kill you very much. The war is about to begin. Are you ready?"
At the end of his sentence, the body of the Primeval Troll in front of him suddenly burned with transparent flames, just like the Eternal Phantom Demon that died in the Eternal Whirlpool.
In the end, it turned into ashes and disappeared before Long Chen's eyes.
Ancestor Xi did not give Long Chen a chance to speak at all.
"The Sky Swallowing Clan's orders, or my own escape. Which is more terrifying?"
Long Chen had a premonition that the most crucial battle of his life had come to an end. Life or death would be revealed in the intense battle that was about to happen. Perhaps, he would not even be able to make it through tomorrow.
"Ancestor Xi said that their boss shouldn't be Ancestor Wa. That means that apart from the three of them, the last one should be the strongest. Then, who is the last one?"
In an instant, there seemed to be many mysteries, causing Long Chen's heart to be in turmoil.
"Still, only power can solve all of this."
Thinking of this, Long Chen's heart gradually calmed down. No matter what, everyone only had one path, and that was victory.
"Why would a Primeval Gargantuan Devil appear here?"
Long Chen was curious again. Now that there was no more in the Cosmic Hive, he could not help but look at the boundless starry sky, and then began to move forward aimlessly.
After walking for about two hours, he did not expect to encounter another Primeval Troll. After Long Chen killed it, he was even more puzzled. He continued to move forward, and did not expect to encounter another Primeval Troll not long after.
"Impossible, this must be the arrangement of the three Ancestor Fiends, otherwise … there would not be so many."
He returned to the Death Realm, then moved to Pangu Continent, and flew into the starry sky again. At first, he did not encounter any Primeval Troll, but after half a day, he saw it again. And once Long Chen asked it, it would self-destruct.
Clearly, Ancestor Xi seemed to control the life and death of all the Primeval Troll.
"Could it be that the three Ancestor Fiends have scattered all the Primeval Troll in the endless starry sky?"
Long Chen thought in horror.
At this moment, Lord Chaos sent a message.
"Long Chen, the three Ancestor Fiends are attacking me. Come help me quickly."
