After letting him understand the situation, Long Chen said, "Ancestor Stone, everything I told you before is absolutely true. Ancestor Penglai and I just met, but he supported me and helped me. If you don't believe me or Ancestor God Ling Su, you should believe in Ancestor Penglai. If you want, I can ask Ancestor Penglai to come over, and you can believe him."
After pausing for a while, Long Chen added, "Before the Ancestor Gods of the myriad worlds descended, I was the strongest expert here. I was also the one with the highest prestige. You can ask anyone in any world about this. They all know this, so you have to understand how difficult it would be for me to deceive you and find another existence as powerful as you. You can also ask anyone to verify whether my brothers and sisters and I were the strongest group of people in the myriad worlds before you all appeared."
At this point, with Ancestor Penglai's help, Long Chen could at least be sure that if Ancestor Stone still had a bit of intelligence, he should know about his identity. Long Chen did not lie to him.
He was the creator of the Endless Mountain of the Universe.
"Alright, I believe you."
Finally, Ancestor Stone suddenly smiled.
He looked at Long Chen, meaning to ask Long Chen to let him leave the jade disc.
This time, it was Long Chen's turn to be troubled. He was a little doubtful whether he should really let him go.
What if something happened to him?
While he was hesitating, Ancestor Stone's face suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly, "You're really boring. You don't believe me in the first place, so what's the point of telling me so much?"
"Senior, this matter is of great importance. I hope you can give me some time to prepare. The myriad worlds are fragile, and if there are more casualties, I will bear great responsibility," Long Chen said cautiously.
He planned to let everyone come over and then release Ancestor Stone together. In this Devil Dragon Ancient Tomb, he should have more confidence.
"There's no need."
Ancestor Stone's face was gloomy. It was hard to believe that he would stand on Long Chen's side.
His expression made Long Chen even more determined not to let him out for a while. He was a dangerous person.
But at this moment.
The rugged Stone Ancestor's lips curled into a cold smile.
It was a terrifying smile.
In the blink of an eye, the Stone Ancestor moved. It was as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Normally, he wouldn't have been able to move while trapped in the jade disc. However, Long Chen noticed that a sharp stone hammer had appeared in the Stone Ancestor's hand.
It was a seemingly inconspicuous, wide hammer with a sharp bottom. It was forged from a piece of stone, and there seemed to be moss on it. Time had left many mottled marks on it.
It was this stone hammer that made Long Chen realize the danger he was in. But it was too late. Ancestor Stone had been waiting for this opportunity. He broke through the jade wall and rushed out.
Clearly, he already had the ability to break through the wall, but he had been holding it in until this moment.
Of course, if Long Chen had released him of his own accord, that would have been even better. After all, it would have been safer. All he had to do was pretend to trust Long Chen. However, when he saw that Long Chen was about to summon Elder God Lingsu and the others, he had no choice but to act immediately.
"World Essence."
That's right, this stone hammer was the World Source that belonged to him.
Long Chen had overlooked this. He had thought that only Elder God Lingsu had kept it.
Now that Ancestor Stone had it, he understood. Perhaps Elder God Lingsu hadn't noticed it yet, and it had taken some time for Elder God Lingsu to notice it as well.
The Endless Stone Ancestor had it as well, but he hadn't noticed it at first. Perhaps he had only noticed it today, but he hadn't immediately broken through the jade disc to alert Long Chen. In truth, he was preparing for the next step.
This was the Demonic Dragon Tomb. He didn't know what this place was, but he knew that only Long Chen would know.
Thus, when he instantly broke the jade disc and struggled out of it, the first thing he did was attack Long Chen. This was an Ancestral God of the ninth era's Progenitor Realm, and he had been waiting for this attack for a long time.
"Quake."
The stone hammer slammed into Long Chen's head, striking the air for a long time. A terrifying power of Natural Laws surged out, unstoppable. It arrived in an instant. Although it hadn't hit him directly, the stone hammer was the World Essence. To Long Chen, this heavy blow was simply too powerful. He immediately felt dizzy.
Even his consciousness was blurred.
It was very dangerous.
If he used his next attack, he would very likely be heavily injured or even killed. Being ambushed at such a close distance was a very troublesome matter.
In addition, Long Chen was almost certain that after using the stone hammer to shake Long Chen's Primordial Spirit, Ancestor Stone's next attack was brewing. It would descend in an instant, and this time, it would definitely destroy Long Chen.
A terrifying crisis.
Ancestor Stone was even stranger than he had imagined.
Long Chen found it hard to understand. Now that he knew the truth, why did he still want to kill him? Could it be that he wanted revenge because he had imprisoned him?
All of a sudden, Long Chen felt that his life was in danger.
The only way to open the door for Ancestor God Ling Su and the others to save him was to open the door of the Dragon Devil's Ancient Tomb and instantly escape to another world.
The Death World was definitely out of the question. Long Chen instantly chose the Eternal Whirlpool of the Time Tunnel. Perhaps he could rush into the Eternal Whirlpool for a while, and in that instant, he passed through the Eternal Whirlpool. As expected, it was difficult to get in contact with him in such a short period of time. Ancestor Stone had already caught up, and the stone hammer's attack was almost at the top of Long Chen's head.
Ancestor God Ling Su and the others were chasing after him.
However, distant water could not put out a nearby fire. In his dizziness, Long Chen tried his best to use the power of the Eternal Whirlpool to stop the other party. However, he quickly discovered that Ancestor Stone's brutality was something that even the Eternal Whirlpool could not stop.
Actually, all of this happened in an instant.
He had to go to another world in order to escape.
The Life World was not as good as the Eternal Whirlpool, and the Death World was even worse. There was no need to talk about the Dragon Devil's Ancient Tomb. The only choice left was the Myriad Worlds. When he thought this through, Long Chen instantly understood his goal.
"So he already had this World Source, but he waited for me to return before using it. It was to escape from the Dragon's Ancient Tomb, so I had no choice but to let him return to the Myriad Worlds."
However, this was indeed the only way for Long Chen.
He had to say that although Ancestor Stone had lost his memories, he was now too cunning. To be able to learn to this step in such a short period of time, it could only mean that before the epoch, he had always been like this. Qianxue had only unearthed his personality.
"Myriad Worlds."
In the next instant, Long Chen escaped to the Myriad Worlds with great difficulty.
As expected, when he discovered that he was in the Myriad Worlds, Ancestor Stone's attacks slowed down. Because of this, Long Chen won a small chance of survival. He knew why Ancestor Stone was so slow. After arriving in the Myriad Worlds, he wanted to escape.
Because Ancestor God Ling Su and Long Chen's team were about to arrive, he would rather not kill Long Chen and escape. This was actually a trade-off between the two. Long Chen had to protect his own life. The World Source was too terrifying, and he wasn't sure if resurrection could bring him back to life. It was very likely that a single blow would kill him in both body and soul.
Buzz.
Ancestor God Ling Su, Patriarch Penglai, and Mo Xiaolang all arrived, but Ancestor Stone was in another direction. He transformed into a streak of starlight and disappeared. He had no desire to kill Long Chen, so he didn't waste any time. If he did, he might not be able to escape.
Patriarch Penglai and the others gave chase, but they immediately realized that they couldn't catch up. Ancestor Stone had fled first, and the Myriad Worlds were so huge.
They were worried about Long Chen's safety.
"How is it?"
Everyone immediately surrounded him.
"I'm fine."
Long Chen gradually regained his senses. Just now, he had been shaken, his nascent divinity suppressed, and his divine palaces sealed. That had been an unbearable feeling.
Although he was fine, the price he had paid was that Ancestor Stone had escaped.
"I'm sorry. I thought he had no memories, but he's much more cunning than I imagined. I was careless."
Perhaps because Ancestor Stone had no memories, Long Chen subconsciously thought of him as a child. If he had been a child, he would have immediately used the World Source. That was why Long Chen hadn't expected that Ancestor Stone would have the World Source, much less hide it and use it at a time that Long Chen would never have expected.
"We didn't expect it either."
Everyone felt helpless.
"Long Chen, this isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself. I trapped him with a jade pendant and didn't even know it," Ancestor God Ling Su said, her heart aching for him.
"I understand."
Long Chen did understand, but now that Ancestor Stone was added to the mix, there were now three major uncertainties in the Myriad Worlds. Clearly, they were in even greater trouble.
And now, the Myriad Worlds were in such a crisis.
They were like a bubble that could burst at any moment. The three Elder Gods were like three needles. With a single stab, the Myriad Worlds would be gone, and all life would be gone.
"There's no point in blaming yourself. Let's think of a countermeasure."
Long Chen pulled himself together. He really hadn't expected that Ancestor Stone would have played him for a fool.
He had indeed underestimated the thought processes of the Elder Gods. The main reason was that Ancestor God Ling Su had misled him. It was as if he had lost his memories, as if he were a fool. But in truth, Ancestor Ling Su had always been like this. It was just that when Long Chen had met her before the epoch, she had memories and knowledge, so she had seemed slightly more mature …
The Endless Stone Ancestor might have been confused at first, but he was now the most dangerous of the three. He knew the truth, but he still wanted to go against Long Chen. That was the most terrifying thing. It was very likely that what he would do next would be revenge. Revenge was a terrifying thing.
"I have the World Source as well."
When Patriarch Penglai heard this, he searched his body for it. Before long, he excitedly took out a peach wood walking stick. It was about the same height as him and looked no different from ordinary peach wood, as if it could break at any moment.
"This is my World Source." Patriarch Penglai had found it.
