The Dragon Attendants searched for clues of the Origin Dragon Soul in every corner of the Myriad Worlds.
Long Chen had already told them that he was safe.
After settling the matter with the Ancestor Gods, Long Chen then contacted them and told them everything that had happened in the Tomb of Reincarnation in detail.
"This time, you did very well."
The Dragon Attendants were also extremely shocked to find out that so many things had happened and how dangerous it was.
"Basically, it should be as you guessed. Although we don't understand, it is possible that the Sky Swallowing Race is unable to destroy and digest the Origin of the World. The 10,000 World Origins are the core and foundation of the Myriad Worlds. The Sky Swallowing Race is unable to destroy them, so they can only let the Ancestor Gods kill each other. The destruction of the World Origin may be the moment the Myriad Worlds will truly be destroyed."
Long Chen was surprised and asked, "If the World Origin is not destroyed and the Ancestor Gods are immortal, then if the Ancestor Dragons' World Origin still exists, are they immortal?"
God of Great Essence said, "Of course they are not dead."
"What?" Long Chen was stunned.
However, God of Great Essence quickly poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"You are their original bodies. They didn't die, because their lives gave birth to your life. This is how inheritances work. For example, the Immemorial Immeasurable World Purifying Immortal Ancestor refused to be devoured, so she transferred the life of the Ancestor God of Creation to Lingxi. Lingxi is her rebirth, and you, are the rebirth of the ten great Ancestor Dragons. It's just that you don't have the Origin Dragon Soul or the World Source, so your rebirth isn't particularly perfect."
"I see …"
The 10 Ancestor Dragons were the same as the Celestial Ancestor, different from the other Ancestor Gods.
"Now that we know their goal, at least we have a target."
The Dragon Attendants sighed.
"But this time, I have ruined their plans. Will they discover us, or even appear directly to kill us?"
This was exactly what Long Chen was worried about.
The Dragon Servants discussed for a while and said, "We think that the Sky Swallowing Clan has never shown themselves. Even if they did, it would be hidden and unreal. Or, your Dragon Jade has completely covered your tracks and everything you've done, creating a blur and deception for them. However, this doesn't seem to be enough to explain why the seven hundred Ancestor Gods aren't dead, and the Source of the World still exists, but they still haven't made a move. Hence, we think that the Sky Swallowing Clan hasn't fully recovered from the battle before the epoch. After all, the ten Ancestor Dragons aren't weak. It's possible that only one or two small characters are doing all this. However, they can't explain this at all, and probably can't wake up the most important members of the Sky Swallowing Clan."
"That makes sense."
The Dragon Servants' guesses could explain the current situation.
Long Chen originally thought that after he saved the seven hundred Ancestor Gods, the Sky Swallowing Clan would descend directly, but it wasn't like nothing happened. Until now, everything was still peaceful.
"No matter what, our only hope is the Origin Dragon Soul and the World's Source, as well as the First Ancestor Dragon's Blood Essence. We have to find these to be safe. Your mission is to control the Infinite Worlds, strengthen yourself, and understand the rules. At the same time, you need to think of a way to break the curse of the Ancestor Gods and Divine Dragons. Of course, the key is still with Lingxi."
With the guidance of the Dragon Servants, Long Chen was enlightened, and there wasn't so much confusion in his heart.
"If there are one or two small members of the Sky Swallowing Clan doing all this, I think they will appear in the Infinite Worlds after this …"
Now, every step he took was extremely dangerous, but Long Chen didn't feel any fear. His courage had grown stronger and stronger as the flames of battle continued to burn.
"I want to avenge those few worlds and the lives within them."
Clenching his fists, his eyes were cold and filled with killing intent.
"After an era of silence, those guys who destroyed everything didn't really bleed …"
Recalling the dim yellow shadow in the Tomb of Samsara, Long Chen didn't feel that it was terrifying anymore. All he felt was deep hatred.
Then, they went about their own business.
Long Chen returned to the fourth floor of the Tower of Time. He needed some time to recover and think. This discovery of the truth and the appearance of the Sky Swallowing Clan seemed to be the beginning of this battle. Until today, although the enemies were still as terrifying, at least Long Chen had seen them and touched their level. Those terrifying existences weren't that terrifying anymore.
He was thinking about the rules and integrating them. Now, the only thing he could improve was the rules.
One day, ten days, one year, ten years.
It hadn't even been a day outside.
Although there weren't any new rules, at least there were some new understandings.
His heart also calmed down.
He faced everything calmly.
"Big brother, come out."
Mo Xiaolang was still outside during this period. Hearing his call, Long Chen immediately came to the Life and Death Realms. When he left the Tower of Time, many pieces of information became clear.
In an instant, numerous pieces of information came, almost making Long Chen explode.
The blood sea rolled and blood mist spread. Seven hundred ninth era ancestral gods floated above the blood sea. Due to their kindness, they temporarily took Long Chen as their leader.
So many pieces of information came in such a short time. When it was over, Long Chen counted. Actually, he had long guessed that this day would come. However, the number was much greater than he imagined.
"Guys, do you remember when you just returned to the infinite worlds? Nearly seven hundred of you returned together, and all the ancestral gods had blank memories, right?"
"Of course."
"Big brother, how many returned this time?" Mo Xiaolang knew him the best. Seeing his expression, he knew what had happened.
Long Chen was silent for a moment. Then, he took a deep breath and said to everyone, "Guys, many ancestral gods have returned to the infinite worlds like you … but this time, the number is a bit higher. If I didn't count wrong, there are about six thousand, which is more than half of the infinite worlds."
"Six thousand."
It was ten times the number of people present.
"In other words, the ancestral gods have basically all returned."
However, the ancestral gods weren't too surprised. To them, it was good to return early. There was still time to communicate and increase the number of their team.
But to Long Chen, six thousand could mean unstoppable chaos. It could mean the death of countless lives. After all, the ancestral gods were too powerful for the infinite worlds.
Hence, he still felt some pressure.
"I counted previously. Among the infinite worlds, there are about five thousand worlds below the Creation Level. There are more than a thousand Orderal-level worlds. These six thousand ancestral gods should all be ninth era ancestral gods. The Sky Swallowing Race released them according to their level. This way, all the ninth era ancestral gods from the previous eras have returned."
After all, there was no news of an Ancestor God's return from a Orderal-level world.
This was the most chaotic time for the infinite worlds. Long Chen first contacted the living beings of those worlds and guided them. He told them the identity and responsibilities of the ancestral gods.
Of course, he also reminded them not to destroy other worlds. Basically, every world had an ancestral god descending. He also advised them not to fight with other ancestral gods, as that would cause great damage and destroy their homes.
As for the truth of losing their memories and the shadow of the Sky Swallowing Race, it wasn't appropriate to talk about it for now.
"That's the only thing I can do for now. There are more than six thousand Ancestor Gods, and the ten thousand worlds are packed. I have to think of something … In the current situation, even if they don't enter the Tomb of Samsara, as long as the Sky Swallowing Clan triggers their curse, the countless lives in the ten thousand worlds will be easily wiped out, even if the speed at which they destroy each other's World Origins is not fast."
Every ancestral god was naturally tougher than all the worlds and living beings. Their World Origins were extremely sturdy.
After transmitting their identity, protection, and other information to the ancestral gods, Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Next, he had to think of other ways to completely prevent the calamity from happening. At this time, he saw the seven hundred ancestral gods.
"Everyone, can you do me a favor?"
"Speak," the ancestral gods said in unison. Their eyes were solemn, but they were still full of respect for Long Chen.
Long Chen waved his hand, and about five thousand doors appeared behind the ancestral gods. They were the Death Realm Dragon Gate.
Long Chen said, "These doors lead to more than five thousand worlds. Basically, behind each door is an ancestral god who has just returned. When they return, most of the World Origins aren't complete. Your World Origins are complete, and logically speaking, you can easily restrain them."
"That's why I'd like to implore all of you, seniors, to take roughly ten missions each and bring all six thousand Elder Gods into my Realms of Life and Death. That way, we can prevent our enemies from suddenly activating the blood-colored runes and causing them to go berserk and destroy the infinite worlds. When they come here, I'll be responsible for controlling them and explaining to them the truth … they'll be our future allies, so I hope that everyone can use a gentler method."
With that, Long Chen bowed. This was a very bold idea, and he wasn't sure if the ancestral gods would think he was being reckless.
"Long Chen, you're treating me like an outsider."
"That's right, the infinite worlds and our own lives are all our own matters. You don't have to beg us at all, this is our duty in the first place."
"You're right. Also, I have to say that this idea is very bold, but it can be mitigated. Perhaps the enemy doesn't know that we already know the truth. So, if we bring all the ancestral gods in, we can ruin their plans."
"When we have more than six thousand ancestral gods, and we are all united, what can't be broken? No matter who the enemy is, we have confidence."
