As expected, Long Chen quickly found Elder God Ling Su and the others among the 600 over Elder Gods. They had just arrived as well.
There were close to 700 Elder Gods present. This confirmed that there were no more Elder Gods in the 10,000 Realms. Long Chen asked the people of the 10,000 Realms, and they were certain that the Elder Gods who had previously appeared had disappeared.
Many of the living beings and Fiendgods in the 10,000 Realms saw a golden door appear not far away from the Elder Gods. The Elder Gods entered the golden door right in front of them.
"Are they all here …?"
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing? The good thing is that at least I don't have to worry about the safety of the 10,000 Realms and the worlds. The bad thing is … who is controlling all of this … could it be the Sky Devouring Race …?"
At this time, among the 600 over Elder Gods, the Chaos Ape Ancestor had already disappeared. He had escaped from Long Chen's pursuit. Perhaps in front of so many Elder Gods, he had behaved himself.
The Elder Gods had just descended, and they had just arrived at this place as well. Long Chen could tell from their gazes that they didn't seem to understand where this place was or why they had come here.
"Do you know where this place is?"
Elder God Ling Su hurriedly came to Long Chen's side. Among the 600 over Elder Gods, they didn't stand out at all.
Elder God Ling Su was very confused. "I just found out that so many Elder Gods had arrived. Why didn't you tell me in advance? I was just complaining about you when a door appeared beside me. At that time, I felt a strong desire to enter. After I entered, this is what happened."
"A strong desire."
This description was deeply engraved in Long Chen's mind. Clearly, all the Elder Gods were still blank. Long Chen used this time to communicate with the Dragon Attendants.
"This happened."
Even the six Dragon Servants were confused at this moment.
Long Chen thought about it and said, "I think … what you said before has come true. They were all devoured by the Sky Swallowing Clan. Now that the real first batch has arrived, the Sky Swallowing Clan has started to carry out their goal. Obviously, this is the place where they will achieve their goal. If the Sky Swallowing Clan has a conspiracy, then this is the beginning."
"You're right. We think so too. That's why we're even more pressed for time."
The appearance of the golden door and the gathering of the Ancestral Gods must have been planned by someone. To Long Chen, the only person he could think of was the Sky Devouring Race.
"How about this? You guys continue to search for the Origin Dragon Soul. We'll stay here and figure out what they're trying to do. Maybe we can stop them."
"… Be careful. Your life is more important. At least for now, the Infinite Worlds are out of danger."
"I understand."
Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about the Infinite Worlds. Long Chen could focus on dealing with the changes here.
There were over six hundred Ancestral Gods. Who knew how many existences like the Chaotic Ape Ancestor were hidden among them. Among them, Long Chen didn't stand out at all. Even if he wasn't a Ancestral God, he didn't notice him.
Storm Ancestral God and the others had already been thrown into the Ruins of Time. They were still there and couldn't appear. This was a good thing. If they made a ruckus, the Ancestral Gods would target Long Chen.
As Long Chen and the Dragon Servants conversed, the six hundred Ancestral Gods stared at each other. Some knew each other. It was their first time meeting, so it was better to be cautious. No one dared to get close to each other.
It was like a few hundred mindless beasts meeting for the first time.
At this time, they had already moved from their invisible confrontation to the Tomb of Reincarnation. They came to this void. Obviously, the Tomb of Reincarnation was the Sky Swallowing Clan's goal.
"What does the Sky Swallowing Clan want them to do?"
Many Ancestral Gods were already standing on the Tomb of Reincarnation. They were studying everywhere. No Ancestral God dared to enter yet. But the golden door was already closed. They had nowhere to go. So they looked around. Finally, they found the entrance to the Tomb of Reincarnation.
"Let's go in and take a look."
A few Ancestral Gods went in first.
Many Ancestral Gods were in a daze after coming in. They were looking for the exit to leave this world. They had subconsciously entered when they saw the golden door. Now, they wanted to leave, but they couldn't find the exit.
The only place they could go was inside the Tomb of Reincarnation.
Ancestral Gods went in at the beginning. Soon, more and more entered. There were fewer and fewer left in space. Long Chen realized that he had to go in.
"Patriarch Wuji and Patriarch Penglai seem to have gone in too. Let's go in too."
There were too many Ancestral Gods this time. The two were stunned. They hadn't come to find Long Chen. Only Ancestral God Ling Su was still guarding beside Long Chen.
"Okay."
Indeed, they should go in. Otherwise, they wouldn't know the Sky Devourer's goal.
But after going in, all sorts of battles were unavoidable. There might be group battles. Most importantly, Divine Kingdoms and various worlds couldn't be opened inside the Tomb of Reincarnation. Once the entrance was sealed, they wouldn't be able to leave.
"Come out."
The more trusted helpers around him, the better. This time, Long Chen had Lingxi, Li Xuanji, Mo Xiaolang, Kitten, and Soyeon come out. Including Ling Su and him, the team of seven was a team.
They were all life-and-death teams.
"After going in, take care of each other."
"Okay."
There were more than two hundred Ancestral Gods outside. Long Chen was in the middle. When they entered, a few Ancestral Gods looked at them strangely.
"You guys seem a little different …"
"You guys aren't Ancestral Gods, right? Why are you here?"
"I don't know. I'm thinking of a way to leave too," Long Chen replied in a friendly manner.
"Then who are you guys?"
"We are the original Gods and Demons of the infinite worlds. We are far inferior to you Ancestral Gods. You are all our seniors."
Seeing how polite Long Chen was, the other Ancestral Gods basically wouldn't cause trouble for them. After all, their memories were blank, and they were confused. They didn't know what was going on.
At this time, Long Chen entered the Tomb of Reincarnation again.
"Kitten."
The Tomb of Reincarnation was Kitten's territory. He was most familiar with this place. There were endless worlds inside, like a huge maze that could confuse even Ancestral Gods. If one wanted to walk in here, they had to rely on Kitten.
"These Ancestral Gods have already entered other spaces."
More than four hundred Ancestral Gods had already entered, but only a few dozen could be seen. This proved that most of the Ancestral Gods had already entered other worlds. It was better for them to be spread out like this, in order to avoid conflicts that would cause too much destruction.
After arriving here, Long Chen first led the group to a nearby world. After going through a few worlds, there was no one else around. The other six were all looking at him. Long Chen said, "If there's something strange about the Ancestral Gods in the Tomb of Reincarnation, it's most likely with the Samsara Tree. After all, the Samsara Tree is the core of this place. Although we don't know what's going on right now, we should head to the Samsara Tree first."
The others naturally had no objections.
"Kitten, lead the way."
"Don't worry. This is Lord Cat's territory. Watch as Lord Cat torments them to death."
Upon arriving here, Kitten began to put on airs.
They were a team. Long Chen had already reached the level of a complete ninth epoch Ancestral God. There was no need to even mention Ancestral God Ling Su; the others combined could fight against two or three Ancestral Gods.
As long as they didn't encounter too many Ancestral Gods surrounding them, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
But Long Chen knew very well that they were taking on a huge risk in coming here. If the situation went out of control, it was very likely that a riot would break out.
Even Kitten, who was familiar with them, would find it difficult to move to the Samsara Tree. This was because there were too many worlds here, and they were constantly changing. To reach the Samsara Tree, they would have to pass through more than a thousand worlds, and they couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
"Boss, I keep feeling like there's something strange about the Tomb of Reincarnation."
After walking for a period of time, Kitten suddenly said.
Most likely, more than six hundred Ancestral Gods had already entered. On the way forward, they would occasionally encounter other Ancestral Gods, but they were usually alone. Sometimes, they would be in groups of two or three. When they saw Long Chen, they would basically take a detour. From this, it was clear that the Ancestral Gods were very wary.
"How is it strange?"
"It's indescribably strange."
"Isn't that obvious?"
They continued forward.
Because some Ancestral Gods had entered before them, they had basically covered more than half of the Tomb of Reincarnation. Often, when they entered a new world, they could see the existence of Ancestral Gods. However, the closer they were to the Samsara Tree, the slightly fewer Ancestral Gods there were.
"The Samsara Tree has tree roots, so it's easier to find. Also, that world is the largest, at least one-fifth of the entire Tomb of Reincarnation."
Therefore, Kitten reckoned that there might already be Ancestral Gods there.
"Speed up."
Intuition told Long Chen that the core content and purpose would appear in that place.
They sped up. After a period of time, they could already see the tree trunk. When they arrived, they quickly changed direction and went up the tree trunk. Not long after, they rushed to the world at the top of the tree.
As far as the eye could see, it was still very quiet. It seemed that they had arrived here first.
"Everyone, don't disperse. Be careful."
After arriving, they began to patrol. At first, it was just the few of them. Later, they realized that many Ancestral Gods had also arrived. However, the Ancestral Gods basically didn't communicate with each other. Many were looking around, and some were trying to destroy the Samsara Tree.
"Boss."
All of a sudden, Kitten let out a cry of surprise.
"The Samsara Fruit."
He lowered his voice and told Long Chen excitedly. Following his gaze, Long Chen saw …
…
