Whether it was real or fake, there was no answer at this moment.
Long Chen was silent for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out. Everything was like a dream.
He was deep in thought, recalling every single detail. He was silent for a full two hours.
"This fortuitous encounter from before the epoch could be real, or it could be fake. In fact, it could even be something else. Perhaps there is an existence controlling all of this. I just don't know who that existence is, and what is his true purpose for bringing me to that time …."
Although he had returned from there, in fact, there were more doubts in Long Chen's heart, and they were all puzzling doubts.
Depressing, strange.
On one side was the disappearance of Dragon Mercy and rebirth, and on the other side was the real increase in strength and the changes of the Primordial Dragon Halberd. Long Chen really didn't know which side he should believe.
"Forget it, it's impossible to understand even if I crack my head. I'll just accept the changes now."
This trip to that world was undoubtedly of great significance to Long Chen. Not to mention his own strength, he had seen the world before the epoch and truly understood the gap between himself and the Destroyers of Myriad Worlds, and also firmed up his goal.
"I just don't know if the Devouring Dragon Attendant is dead or not. If it really exists, if it's the world before the epoch, then the Devouring Dragon Attendant should be dead now."
Slaying the enemy with his own hands.
"If it's not dead, I'll slay it again."
The faith in Long Chen's heart, after going through this reincarnation change, had become even more solid.
Only now did he put the matter at the back of his mind and returned to the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, meeting all the people who were waiting for his return. Lingxi, Li Xuanji, Long Yan, everyone was here. From their expressions, it could be seen that they were really worried.
"I've made everyone worry."
Seeing them, Long Chen's heart was filled with even greater strength. It was them that made Long Chen have such a tenacious heart. He had to be as hard as iron to protect his beloved ones.
"Daddy, Uncle Cat said you went to find a lot of women and don't want us anymore. You play with those girls every day and have a lot of babies. You don't want Yan 'er anymore. Is that true?"
Long Yan was now a mischievous little girl. When she saw Long Chen, she jumped up angrily and jumped into Long Chen's arms. She looked at Long Chen with hatred and pinched Long Chen's ears with her chubby little hands.
Everyone roared with laughter.
The atmosphere of the reunion became incomparably relaxed.
Long Chen was really worried. If Kitten continued to talk nonsense like this, what would Long Yan look like when he grew up … It seemed that he must isolate Kitten.
"Yan 'er, do you believe me or Kitten?"
"Daddy, of course I believe you. I've long known that Uncle Kitten is a wretched scoundrel who specializes in deceiving children like me. Serves Aunt Zhu Xi right for ignoring him."
Long Yan, who was still fuming just now, became obedient in a short while. This made Long Chen very satisfied, but it made Kitten go crazy.
This little fellow was now everyone's joy. As long as she was around, it would be especially relaxed no matter what.
Everyone was here, and they were all familiar people. Long Chen let everyone sit down. Right on this lush grassland, he told everyone about his encounter in the Dragon God's Origin Grounds.
"What do you think is going on?"
After hearing this bizarre encounter, everyone was stunned. They completely didn't expect such a thing to happen to Long Chen.
Mo Xiaolang said, "I don't think it's a simple question of whether it's real or fake. What I mean is that there's no difference between real and fake. But I'm more inclined to think that someone set all of this up. There must be a purpose. This purpose might be to make you stronger, or to let you see the Dragon Sacrificial Continent at that time … Maybe there are other purposes, but he can't tell you directly and can only let you feel it … Of course, these are all my guesses. Big Brother, you should have guessed it yourself."
Indeed, Long Chen had thought so too.
Everyone discussed for a long time, but there was actually no important conclusion. Now that he could return, improve himself, and even kill the Devouring Dragon Servant, Long Chen felt that it was completely worth it.
Fortunately, during this period of time, his and Li Xuanji's child had not been born, but it was almost there. She rarely spoke. Only when Long Chen looked over would she smile gently. Although her belly was already big, she had an indescribable charm at this time.
Fortunately, nothing happened in the Myriad Worlds during this period of time.
"Then let's stick to our original plan for the time being. We'll try our best to strengthen ourselves while monitoring the Myriad Worlds at the same time."
Now that the Death Dragon Gate of the Myriad Worlds had disappeared, Long Chen needed to rearrange it. Compared to before the epoch, it was actually easier to travel through space in the current Myriad Worlds. The stable space before the epoch was a little difficult, and even moving it was difficult.
After spending some time, Long Chen rearranged the Death Dragon Gate of the Myriad Worlds. Not only him, but everyone could travel through the entire Myriad Worlds.
In the Spirit Essence Star Ocean, Long Chen met Ancestor God Ling Su again. She accompanied Long Chen with flowers, waiting for his arrival.
"I heard them say that you are in seclusion, and that it will be a while before you can come and see me."
Compared to the Ancestor God Ling Su of the past, Ancestor God Ling Su was simpler and purer, like a happy bird.
Long Chen watched her dance among the flowers, and he thought back to the scene of her before the epoch. He couldn't help but ask, "Before you met me, did you remember me? Or, did you feel that I was very familiar, that you had met me before?"
"No … I don't know either. I just came here, and I don't know anything."
Ancestor God Ling Su didn't even know that Long Chen was talking about their meeting before the epoch.
She had forgotten everything.
But she was definitely Ancestor God Ling Su. There was no doubt about that.
But why, why did she forget everything?
Long Chen thought back to every detail of his conversation with her. He couldn't imagine that the time before the epoch had given birth to so much fog, so many mysteries, and so many mysteries that he couldn't solve.
After spending some time with Elder God Lingsu, she suddenly said, "Oh, right. One time, I was wandering around, and in the westernmost region, I saw a strange place. I think you said that you have a little brother who can devour fire. There's fire over there."
"Is that so?"
Long Chen was a bit surprised. Flames that could catch the eye of Ancestor God Ling Su should be quite powerful. But he had searched the Infinite Worlds before, and he was sure that there weren't many flames that Mo Xiaolang could devour.
Still, he had to go take a look.
"Then let's go take a look."
Long Chen opened the Death Realm Dragon Gate, and they were teleported to the westernmost world of the Infinite Worlds. If they went any further west, they would reach the primordial Primordial Chaos. There would only be chaos in this place, and no life would exist.
By this time, Long Chen and Ancestor God Ling Su had reached the border of the Infinite Worlds.
"Do we still need to advance?"
After advancing for some time, they had already touched the border of the Infinite Worlds. They were pretty much walking in the Primordial Chaos. So, Long Chen asked. In the past, when he searched, he wouldn't go so deep. After all, there was nothing in the Primordial Chaos. There was only destruction.
"There's still a bit more to go."
Long Chen trusted her very much, and so they continued forward. After a period of time, they were already in a haze, and it was difficult for them to move forward. But inconceivably, Long Chen could sense that there was something up ahead.
This could be considered as opening up a new world for Long Chen. There were things in the Primordial Chaos.
He had already notified Mo Xiaolang. If there was a suitable flame, he would let Mo Xiaolang clean it up. Right now, Mo Xiaolang's progress was the slowest, and that was because he didn't have any flames. Once there was a suitable one, his progress would be very fast.
"Do you see it?"
In the direction that Elder God Lingsu had indicated, Long Chen's gaze pierced through the primordial chaos and into the distance. Amidst the haze, Long Chen was able to make out what appeared to be flames swirling about. They were on the left, and they seemed to be fighting against each other. The flames on the left were slightly golden, and there seemed to be black portions that were entangled with each other. As for the flames on the right, they seemed to be blood-red in color, as though they were burning blood.
"It's a flame, but it's not big. If it's a divine flame, it's useless. It can't be an ancestral flame, right …?"
Just as this thought appeared in Long Chen's mind, he was suddenly shocked. Because Mo Xiaolang now had five ancestral flames. They were the Void Eon Dragon, the Mixed Origin Fate Dragon, the Tai Chi Lifeform Dragon, the Umbra Dream Demon Dragon, and the Universe Chaos Calamity Dragon. Besides the first, second, and tenth ancestral dragons, he lacked the ancestral flames of the Primordial Blood Spirit Dragon and the Divine Dao Heart Dragon.
The Primordial Blood Spirit Dragon was blood-red, and the Divine Dao Heart Dragon was gold and black. So the two flames not far away were very likely.
"Xiao Lang."
Long Chen immediately brought Mo Xiaolang out. He was a connoisseur, and as soon as Mo Xiaolang appeared, he smiled. "After searching for so long, I didn't think that the Three Lives Karma Flame and the Necromancy Blood Flame would actually be here."
Indeed, these two were ancestral flames, and they were the seeds of the ancestral flames. They had already grown from seeds to a very powerful level, and they possessed an incredible amount of flame power in the primordial chaos.
"The Divine Dao Heart Dragon and the Primordial Blood Spirit Dragon are both extremely skilled in combat."
Their ancestral flames were also extremely savage. Right now, it seemed as though the two types of ancestral flames were still fighting. Perhaps they had been fighting ever since they had existed.
"Big brother."
"Go."
Long Chen and Elder God Ling Su could just wait here.
"What on earth is your little brother? He can actually devour fire?"
Elder God Ling Su was very curious.
Long Chen didn't know how to answer. After all, he couldn't very well tell her that this was the Heaven Devourer, and that his race would be their greatest enemy in the future …
He would have to slowly explain it to her.
