At this point, there was basically no need for Spiritsource's Divine Ancestor to do anything.
His only use was to be treated as a "blood cow" by Lingxi.
However, this was not an easy task. It would have been fine if he had been in a perfect state, but now that he was weak, he had regained some of his strength with great difficulty, and he had basically used Ling Xi to cast the Silence Mantra.
Therefore, it was very difficult for him. He needed to recover and recuperate. Sometimes, this was his limit.
However, who wouldn't risk their lives to survive? At least for him, there was no danger. It was just hard work. However, even Lingxi was having a hard time.
Therefore, Spiritsource's Divine Ancestor did not feel tired at all. He gritted his teeth and persevered.
Everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.
For that slim chance of survival, for that blood feud.
Long Chen's role was to deal with the Sky Devourers that the Ancestral Gods could not see. This was a very difficult task. As they went deeper, they encountered more and more Sky Devourers.
Moreover, Long Chen also discovered that the attacks of the Ancestral Gods were not very effective against the Sky-devouring Clan, probably because of the curse. Instead, they were easily pierced.
Lingxi had a more important task, so this matter could only be handled by Long Chen.
From the side, it looked like it was Long Chen who was risking his life to wipe out the Sky Devourers. This team of Ancestral Gods was safe.
However, there was still bad news that dealt a terrible blow to Long Chen.
However, at the very least, there was still hope. At the very least, because of everyone's crazy efforts, the number of people in their group had reached a state of explosive growth. At the beginning, there were only Long Chen and Ling Xi, but now, there were over a thousand people in their group.
One-tenth of the Ancestral Gods were fully awake and joined Long Chen's team. The mighty team of Ancestral Gods was killing madly in this endless apocalypse.
When they encountered the Ninth and Eighth Era Ancestral Gods, the same level Ancestral Gods would go out to control them. Only when they encountered the stronger Ancestral Gods would they use the Fifth and Sixth Era Ancestral Gods.
Currently, there were close to 70 Ancestral Gods from the sixth era in the team, and there were eight Ancestral Gods from the fifth era. Seven of them were in battle mode.
Of course, Sacred Ancestor Spirit Origin and Lingxi played the most important roles. Without the two of them, this wouldn't have been possible.
In the process of advancing, they did encounter danger. The danger came from the Fourth Epoch's Ancestral God. Once or twice, but because they discovered it in time, they escaped without being alarmed.
For safety's sake, they had already set up scouts around the team. Once they discovered a Fourth Era Primordial Ancestral God, they would naturally escape immediately. At the same time, the entire team was advancing in the direction that Slaughter had pointed.
Now, he had killed thousands of members of the Sky Swallowing Clan. But for Long Chen, this was far from enough. This was just the beginning.
Right now, they had a mighty army, and it seemed that they could continue to expand. However, Long Chen knew that it would be very difficult. After all, even the Spirit Origin Sacred Patriarch was exhausted. Both he and Ling Xi needed a lot of time to recover.
If it weren't for Sacred Ancestor Spirit Origin, the team wouldn't have been able to reach this level.
"Long Chen, I have discussed this with Lingxi." Sacred Ancestor Spirit Origin stood up. His face was pale, and his divine body seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"It's not that we can't persevere, but that we've really reached our limits. From the best perspective, I feel that we have to use our last bit of strength to make the greatest change. Our team has a fatal flaw, and that is that we don't have the strongest ruler, the Fourth Epoch's Primordial Ancestor God."
"We need to awaken a Fourth Era Ancestral God. Only then can we make a decisive change. Lingxi and I can use our last bit of strength to persist and awaken a Fourth Era Ancestral God. We'll make one last effort."
They now had a clear understanding of their current situation.
Rather than continue to grit their teeth and allow more Ancestral Gods to recover, they would be able to recover two or three hundred more, but that wouldn't be as useful as a Fourth Era Ancestral God.
After all, there were now eight Fifth Era's Ancestral Gods that fulfilled these conditions.
"I think there's no problem."
Long Chen actually had the same idea. After some consideration, he supported this decision.
"Alright, this might be our last battle. Once we finish off a Fourth Era Ancestral God, we'll attack the core with all our strength and find the most fundamental solution to our problems."
Ancestral God Hun Kun said.
"I agree."
At a time like this, what they needed the most was courage and madness. What they worried about the most was fear. Everyone was hot-blooded and heroic, and they quickly reached a consensus. Long Chen saw that everyone was at their peak. This was the best possible state.
In this state, even the puny Ninth Era Ancestral God dared to challenge the Fourth Era Ancestral God. Their lives were beyond the Nine Heavens, and their only support was their dreams and hatred.
"Let's go."
The group of people was majestic and hot-blooded.
But that didn't mean that they would act recklessly. Their current target was the Fourth Era Ancestral God. Although the Fourth Era Ancestral God was also suppressed by the rules and couldn't transform into his true form, his divine body was at least a hundred meters tall. He created a huge commotion and was easily detected. Only the Ancestral Gods affected by the blood curse would approach the Fourth Era Ancestral God without a care for their lives.
"Found him."
"It's the Primordial War Ancestor, the Creator God of the primitive warship."
It was a member of the Steel Race.
This was news from the scouts ahead.
Long Chen personally went forward. He saw that the Primordial War Ancestor was in a frenzy. There were some Creator Gods surrounding him, but they were easily torn apart by him like flies.
Roar!
The Primordial War Ancestor was still very powerful. He let out angry roars.
The most shocking thing was that there were thousands of members of the Sky Swallowing Clan floating above his head. They swooped down from time to time and pierced his body with their spikes. The Divine Fire of Doomsday was also burning.
Its huge platinum divine body also dimmed at this moment. No matter how violent it was, it was still weak. Its World Origin was a huge platinum sword, but at this moment, the sword was full of cracks, as if it would shatter at any time.
Once it was destroyed, billions of gods and demons would die. One was equivalent to dozens or even hundreds of small worlds.
"Save him."
Even if there were thousands of members of the Sky Swallowing Clan above, Long Chen didn't frown. Because the Primordial War Ancestor might not be able to hold on much longer. In the end, he might even destroy himself.
Today, they had suffered too great a loss. The Fourth Era Ancestral God couldn't be lost.
Saint Ancestor Spirit Source was still recovering. This time, the main force was Ancestral God Hun Kun, Sky Sword Ancestor Lord, Hong Jun, and the other Fifth Era Ancestral Gods. There were seven of them in total.
After waiting for a while, when they had rested enough, they rushed out and used their most powerful means to restrain the Primordial War Ancestor. When the Primordial War Ancestor was put on the ground by the seven Fifth Era Ancestral Gods, and his body was surrounded by all kinds of restraining rules, thousands of Ancestral Gods rushed out. Even the Ninth Era Ancestral Gods went crazy.
They were all desperately using rules to control the Primordial War Ancestor. It was desire, hatred, and fighting spirit that made them abandon everything at this moment and give it their all.
Even if they could only restrain one finger of the Primordial War Ancestor, it would be a success. The thousands of Creator Ancestral Gods first filled up the Primordial War Ancestor's divine body. Some even used the power of their divine bodies to fight against the Primordial War Ancestor.
This was not an easy battle. The Primordial War Ancestor was naturally struggling and roaring as he was being restrained. Every time his voice vibrated, many Ninth Era Ancestral Gods flew out and lost half their lives.
"Hold on."
"Brothers, hold on."
"No one is willing to die. We need a Fourth Era Ancestral God to wake up."
The thousands of Ancestral Gods roared with tears of blood, even overshadowing the Primordial War Ancestor's roars. His huge divine body rammed through the entire sea of fire, but the most important thing was that all the Creator Ancestral Gods were hanging on his body.
The seven Fifth Era Ancestral Gods each transformed into a divine body that was over 20 meters tall. Outside of the rules, they even used their divine bodies to control his arms, legs, and head.
All the roars and tears of blood were used to restrain the violent Primordial War Ancestor.
Long Chen hovered in midair, watching all this madness unfold. His eyes were filled with bitterness, and he felt the urge to cry. However, he didn't. Watching the Elder Gods fight to the death was a form of encouragement to him. He had always believed that he was fighting alone, but in reality, that wasn't the case. Even the Creator Gods, who were still cursed, were fighting with such madness. How could he possibly be fighting alone with so many people helping him?
He did not tell everyone that there were thousands of Sky Swallowing Race here. Now that they saw thousands of Ancestral Gods, they were very excited. Long Chen had to stop every single one of them.
Otherwise, the Ancestral Gods might be weakened by the addition of the Sky Swallowing Race, allowing the Primordial War Ancestor to break free. Once he did, the violent Primordial War Ancestor would be the end of all the Ancestral Gods.
The most dangerous one was Lingxi, because she was right in front of the Primordial War Ancestor's eyes. She cast the Silent Mantra, and the Primordial War Ancestor's will fought against her directly. If not for Saint Ancestor Lingyuan standing in front of Lingxi, Lingxi would not have been able to withstand such an attack.
Whoosh.
The Sky Swallowing Race landed, excited.
Below, Lingxi cast the Silent Mantra. She bit her lip, and even though her eyes were filled with tears, she did not stop her. She could see the thousands of Sky Swallowing Race, and knew Long Chen's difficulties, but she also knew her own mission.
She was the core of everything. She could not let all her hard work fail because of her. Therefore, she was also a fighter who had abandoned some.
In her heart was Long Chen's figure fighting to the death. His roars and hatred deeply affected her.
Then, she saw Long Yan and Long Lin's smiling faces. They were laughing and cursing, quiet and peaceful.
"I also want to build a beautiful world for my children. This time, I'll give it my all …"
This was a woman, fighting with no regard for anything.
Her opponent was the Fourth Era's Ancestral God, the Primordial War Ancestor.
Above, Long Chen wielded Slaughter and attacked the Sky Swallowing Race.
