The Sky Swallowing Race had expended a great deal of energy.
But even though it was just a small soldier of the Sky Swallowing Race, it still made Long Chen very happy to be able to kill and take revenge.
But these deaths were nothing compared to the billions of gods and demons in the infinite worlds.
The hatred in his heart was far from being appeased.
After much hard work, when Long Chen dealt with the Sky Swallowing Race and returned to the group of Ancestor Gods, Ancestor God Hun Kun was almost fully awake.
Under the nourishment of the Silence Mantra, the violence in his heart and the blood-colored curse in his eyes were gradually fading. Of course, the initial struggle had also taken a great deal of energy from Lingxi.
"Finally … done …"
If not for Long Chen's support at the end, she would probably have collapsed.
Each time, it was an enormous burden on her, especially on the more powerful Elder Gods. These Fifth Epoch Elder Gods were already her limit.
"You …"
Elder God Hun Kun gradually came to his senses. The Elder Gods who had been controlling him all loosened their grip on him, and all of them were wild with joy. The addition of an Elder God of the Fifth Era was of tremendous help to them.
One or two Ancestor Gods were left to explain the situation to Ancestor God Hun Kun. The other Ancestor Gods rushed to another Fifth Era Ancestor God and doubled their power to control that Ancestor God.
At this moment, it basically meant that they had succeeded.
"Long Chen … the two of them actually did this …" Ancestor God Hun Kun looked at Long Chen and Long Chen in disbelief. At this time, Long Chen had already brought Lingxi to another Fifth Era Ancestor God.
Although he had expended a great deal of energy, Lingxi was already at her limit. Long Chen was prepared to let her use his power to awaken this Ancestor God. After dealing with this Fifth Era Ancestor God, it would be very difficult to expand their group.
"Let me …"
Seeing this, Ancestor God Hun Kun came forward and prepared to replace the other Ancestor Gods to control that Ancestor God.
"Rest for now. In the future, we'll need your protection. We can handle things here." Elder God Hun Kun was rather weak right now, after all. Thus, Long Chen wanted him to rest for a while.
"Alright, no problem. This time, I'll listen to your arrangements."
Elder God Hun Kun didn't persist. The fact that Long Chen had been able to rely on himself and his own power to persist for so long was truly admirable. Even though he wasn't an Elder God and was inexperienced, he was still respected by the Elder Gods. From a certain perspective, they should have died, but Long Chen had saved them.
"Begin."
It was the Silence Mantra again.
Lingxi held Long Chen's hand as she used the Love Thread of Three Lifetimes and Long Chen's full power to unleash the Silence Mantra. In truth, Long Chen could have used the Edicts to mimic the Silence Mantra, but because he didn't have a deep understanding of the Edicts of the Umbra Dream Charm Dragon, the effects weren't as strong as Lingxi's.
This time, the Elder God of the Fifth Era fought back even more furiously than before. Thankfully, there were more than ten Elder Gods of the Sixth Era controlling the curse, and the pressure on Lingxi lessened significantly. All she had to do now was resist the curse.
The curse that was placed on the Fifth Era's Ancestral Gods was definitely different from the curse placed on the Ninth Era's Ancestral Gods. Even if Ling Xi were to awaken more than a hundred Ninth Era's Ancestral Gods, it would still be much easier for her than it was for the Fifth Era's Ancestral Gods.
"Chen …"
By the time they reached the middle level, Lingxi and Long Chen's faces were both ashen.
It was almost impossible to hold on.
All of the Elder Gods were nervously watching them.
This was a battle.
Long Chen was pressuring himself to do his best to help Lingxi. Even if he had to suffer a bit more, it didn't matter.
"All of you, come and help me …"
Long Chen used the Divine Palace to call out with all his might. Countless living beings could hear his voice, and they could give him even more of the will power of all living beings. Now that one world after another was shattered, all of the gods and devils knew of this most desperate battle.
Perhaps it was sincere, but Long Chen received an unimaginable amount of power. This was the eruption of all living beings, the hatred of all living beings. It was precisely because of this that Long Chen's cries were able to support him with even more boundless power.
Hu …
It was as though they, who had been at the brink of exhaustion, had come back to life.
For a time, the Silence Mantra was like an avalanche, finally suppressing the Fifth Era Ancestor God.
The blood-colored curse finally began to dissipate, and the Fifth Era Ancestor God no longer struggled. All of the Ancestor Gods heaved a sigh of relief. They had succeeded. From now on, there were two more Fifth Era Ancestor Gods in their ranks.
This was extraordinary.
Although they were still very weak compared to the Ancestor Gods, at least they didn't have to worry about anything anymore. At the very least, they could do something.
"Unfortunately, the power of all living beings can only be used once or twice. Lingxi and I are already so exhausted that it's impossible to expand our ranks …."
"Could it be that I can only save so many Ancestor Gods? Everyone else will perish …."
After victory, it was actually an even greater hurdle, an even greater despair.
However, no one said anything. At the very least, they had already done this much ….
"He's Spiritsource's Sacred Ancestor."
The Creator Gods recognized this Fifth Era Ancestor God. His world had been separated, and he had only recently returned to the Infinite Worlds. Therefore, Long Chen didn't recognize him.
Spiritsource's blood-colored curse had dimmed quite a bit. In another ten breaths of time, it would definitely recover. Long Chen and Lingxi also rested for a while.
"If we had more time to rest, we could still expand our ranks. But given the speed at which the Ancestor Gods' world is being destroyed, we don't have that much time to recover …." Long Chen's eyes were solemn as he looked at the Ancestor Gods. He continued, "Perhaps we already have such a squad. We should find an opponent now and fight to the death. Although we might encounter the real Sky Devourer and be controlled … if we don't act, we have no other hope …. The other Ancestor Gods can't afford to wait …."
Now that they were so exhausted, it would be very difficult to recover and expand their ranks.
Helpless sighs could be heard among the Ancestor Gods.
They were all at their limits.
They couldn't see the path forward.
Finding the Sky Devourer wasn't a surefire way to solve the problem. Even if they did find it, they didn't have much chance of winning. After all, the curse had never faded.
Just as the Ancestor Gods were feeling depressed, pained, and perplexed, Spiritsource woke up. The other Ancestor Gods explained to him what had happened, and he quickly understood what had happened.
"Long Chen, I am Spiritsource's Sacred Ancestor. My laws are a bit different from yours. One of them allows me to transfer my power to another and make it their own. Among the Ancestor Gods, I am the only one who can do this …."
Spiritsource's words ignited a fire in the hearts of the Ancestor Gods.
"What did you say …?"
In the past, only Long Chen and Lingxi's power could be transferred between them due to the connection of the Three Lifetimes Threads. No one else had ever been able to do this.
But Spiritsource's Sacred Ancestor had suddenly said that he had such a law.
This pleasant surprise was so great that Long Chen didn't dare believe it. His words made him realize that there was always a way out.
He had saved Spiritsource's Sacred Ancestor when they were at their weakest. He hadn't expected that it would be Spiritsource's Sacred Ancestor who had given him the greatest hope.
"Sacred Ancestor, you should rest first." After all, he was also very tired.
Of course, Spiritsource was the fifth era's Ancestor God, and he had five World Origins. His World Origin Power was countless times greater than Lingxi's. Even if he was exhausted, Lingxi would still be saturated. All he had to do was transfer a small portion of his World Origin Power to Lingxi's full power.
As long as Lingxi's World Origin Power was complete, she would be able to use the Silence Mantra to restore two or three of the fifth era's Ancestor Gods.
"No need. Let's give it a try first."
Spiritsource's Sacred Ancestor transformed into his human form and landed behind Lingxi. He placed his palm gently on Lingxi's body, and his World Origin Power began to surge.
"Spiritsource Blessing."
He was able to use this law to transfer World Origin Power to Lingxi. Most importantly, it could be absorbed by Lingxi's World Origin Power and become a part of her World Origin Power.
Within the White Lotus and the Black Hell, the dim World Origin Power began to glow with light and color once more.
In a very short period of time, Ling Xi had regained her vigor and vitality.
A miracle like this caused the Elder Gods to weep tears of joy. Nothing could be more exciting and moving than this moment. They had been rescued from the jaws of death.
"Let's head out."
"Sacred Ancestor Spiritsource, don't do too much. Do your best to recover and save as many Elder Gods as you can. Leave the fighting to me." Elder God Hun Kun was quite magnanimous.
"And us!"
All of the Elder Gods howled in response.
So long as they didn't run into the ten-plus Fourth Era's Ancestor Gods, they would be able to do as they pleased.
"Let's speed up."
Long Chen recovered very quickly. Soon, he had regained his strength, and so he expanded his temporal domain to 10,000x. Although his strength wasn't that great compared to the other Elder Gods, it was still enough to help them move faster.
As they charged forward, they continued to expand their ranks. Whenever they ran into an Elder God, they would take control of them and hand them over to Sacred Ancestor Spiritsource or Lingxi. As a result, the rate at which their ranks increased dramatically.
Lingxi and Sacred Ancestor Spiritsource were like machines that the Elder Gods cursed and despondent over. They worked silently, but it wasn't boring at all. Every time an Elder God awakened, an entire world was awakened. They were the ones who had saved the world. Even if it was only for a short time, they were still excited and proud.
Not long after, thanks to the combined efforts of Elder God Hun Kun and Sacred Ancestor Spiritsource, the third Fifth Era's Ancestor God, the one who Long Chen was very familiar with, Patriarch Hongjun, joined their ranks.
