Ancestral Gods were different from other opponents. To kill an Ancestral God, one had to destroy the origin of the world. However, once the origin of the world was destroyed, the world and all living beings would be destroyed as well.
Therefore, from Long Chen's point of view, he couldn't kill Divine Ancestor Ke Ye.
After a slight hesitation, the other party hid far away.
Although the Ancestral God of the eighth era wasn't weak, he couldn't do anything to Long Chen. Therefore, after driving him away, Long Chen didn't think too much about it.
Now that the myriad realms were at peace, the most important thing was to strengthen himself. Long Chen needed some time to settle down.
Now that he was the real Ancestral Dragon, he needed a short period of time to familiarize himself with himself.
Therefore, he reached the fourth floor of the Tower of Time.
Currently, the Living and Dying Realms, the Demonic Dragon Ancient Tomb, the Tower of Time, and the Eternal Whirlpool were all built on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent and could be opened at any time. If necessary, the mystical dragons could enter these worlds at any time.
The Dragon Emperor and the supreme mystical dragons were stationed there.
For example, anyone below the third floor of the Tower of Time would have a chance to cultivate there.
As for the fourth floor of the Tower of Time, it was much quieter. Long Chen and Lingxi mostly came in. After all, people like Mo Xiaolang didn't need such a long period of time to cultivate and settle down.
Now that Lingxi's greatest mission had been completed, she was basically improving herself easily without much pressure. Long Chen, on the other hand, was familiarizing himself with the divine body that truly belonged to the Ancestral Dragon over the long period of time.
In the blink of an eye, another hundred years passed. Of course, only three days had passed in the outside world.
During this period of time, Long Chen had a clearer understanding of his current situation. In fact, he was also pondering over the rules of time and so on. Previously, because of one of the rules of the Blood Wheel Sword, he had found "Slaughter". With "Slaughter" as the guide, he had found the Primordial Blood Spiritual Dragon's Origin Dragon Soul.
Therefore, Long Chen was wondering whether he could do the same.
"Before my father reached the Ancestor Realm, he could travel 100,000 years into the future. Compared to him, my attainments in time are much worse."
Concentrating on studying the time rule was also very time-consuming. With his current attainments in time, to comprehend a rule at the level of the Blood Wheel Sword would probably take more than a thousand years. In fact, the accumulation of time wouldn't have any effect at all. It all depended on fate.
However, on a certain day, when there was still no news about the rules of time, Long Chen first received news from the Dragon Attendants. The Dragon Attendants were still searching for the Origin Dragon Soul. Only three days had passed in the outside world, but it seemed like they already had a clue.
"What do you think?" Long Chen teleported to the Death Realm.
"Come to me."
Now, the six Dragon Attendants were gathered together. Within the Death World, there were many Death World Dragon Gates that connected to countless worlds. Long Chen had been to the Dragon Attendants' location before, so he easily passed through the Death World and arrived at the designated location.
There weren't any worlds around, it was a relatively remote and barren land. Great calamities were everywhere, and ordinary gods and devils wouldn't dare to approach this place. However, there were many stars here, and there was also a star as huge as the Ling Su Star. However, the environment was very harsh, and there was no spiritual energy, so it wasn't suitable for living.
The entire pitch-black giant was constantly trembling. There were volcanoes erupting inside, shooting into the sky, forming countless rivers of lava on the surface of the giant.
The Dragon Attendants were somewhere on this pitch-black giant.
"Come here."
Seeing that Long Chen had arrived, the Dragon Attendants waved at him. Long Chen instantly appeared beside them.
"Did you find anything?"
The Dragon Attendants' expressions were more doubtful than excited. This meant that it wasn't obvious that it was the Origin Dragon Soul or the origin of the world, but it might be a useful clue.
"There are traces of the rules of time in this region, but they aren't ordinary. At least, the few of us can't destroy them. You understand the rules of time, so I let you take a look. After all, there are too few who know the rules of time in this desolate place. We have to pay attention to the rules of time."
"Oh."
If he hadn't said it, Long Chen wouldn't have discovered it. The Dragon Attendants were pointing at a small quagmire below Long Chen's feet. It was less than ten centimeters in diameter and one centimeter deep. The muddy water was a little fiery red and emitted smoke. The fact that the Dragon Attendants could discover such a small place showed how serious they were.
In order to find what the Ancestral Dragon had left behind, they had done their best.
"Strange."
Upon closer inspection, Long Chen indeed discovered that the water in the quagmire was like the sea of time around Eternal Dragon City. Time was chaotic, and there were fast and slow times. When fast and slow water collided, huge waves would be produced.
"Indeed, there are traces of the rules of time. And although it's small, it's also because it's small that it's especially exquisite. Such a small place actually has billions of changes, and even each water particle has its own time.
As for the Eternal Dragon City's sea of time, although vast, there were a total of a dozen changes. Usually, a large area of the sea was dominated by time.
On the other hand, this quagmire was only the size of a palm and contained a frightening amount of changes in time. They had probably seen this and knew that ordinary people would not be able to do this, which was why they had sent Long Chen over.
Of course, Long Chen saw it more clearly.
"Did you find anything?"
The Dragon Attendants asked nervously. They had searched for so long, and finally found such a small result in this insignificant place.
Of course, they hoped that their efforts would be of great use.
"Let me try."
Naturally, he couldn't see the changes with his eyes alone. Long Chen half-knelt on the ground, closed his eyes, and focused all his energy on his right palm. Then, he gently touched the water with his palm.
"Time …"
It was a very strange feeling. It was as if all the water particles were coming to life under Long Chen's palm. It was as if every tiny life was colliding with his palm.
This was the difference in the changes of time, which led to the changes in the water droplets.
"I've done this before, but I didn't feel anything," said the Slaughter Dragon Attendant with squinted eyes.
Long Chen didn't answer him. Instead, he felt it from the perspective of time. At this moment, his entire world was quiet. The water particles in his hand were even clearer. Vaguely, through Long Chen's understanding and control of the rules of time, he could feel that the movements of the water particles were actually transmitting information to him.
"Nine."
The first message was the word 'nine'. Because the water particles were colliding with each other for a period of time, and because some of the particles were extremely fast, they first collided with Long Chen's palm and formed the word 'nine'.
"Li."
The next word was the word 'Li'. It was very complicated, and when combined, it meant 'Nine Li'. This made Long Chen think of the Nine Li Giant Demon.
The third word was the word 'demon'. The strokes of this word were as complicated as the word 'Li'.
The fourth word was the word 'domain', which meant that it was the 'Jiuli Demon Domain'. This Jiuli Demon Domain shouldn't have much to do with the Jiuli Giant Demons, but it had a very deep relationship with another even stronger existence.
"Nine Li Demon Region."
Hearing this name, the Dragon Attendants all remembered.
"It's that Original Incipient Grade world, right? It's also one of the worlds that returned to the Infinite Worlds. It's in the north, outside the ancestral planet."
"Yes, it's here. We passed by it last time, but because the Creator God is now there, it's not easy to find."
New worlds weren't easy to find.
Long Chen thought for a while and said, "I've been to the Nine Li Demon Region. It's a dark world. The people there are very tough, and there are many experts among the Gods and Demons. The Creator God is considered strong among the Fifth Era's Ancestor Gods. He should be called 'Chiyou Demon Ancestor.'"
"Yes, it's the Chiyou Demon Ancestor."
Long Chen remembered the bull-headed man and said, "The Chiyou Demon Ancestor's personality is similar to the Nine Li Giant Demon. He's cold, cruel, and not easy to talk to. When he first appeared, I told him about the Infinite Worlds, but he didn't want to talk to me. I think that since the Primeval Troll has the bloodline of the Divine Dragon and the Infinite Worlds' Ancestor God, the Nine Li Giant Demon must have been created by the Sky Swallowing Race after swallowing the Chiyou Demon Ancestor."
Although Long Chen had saved the Infinite Worlds and all the Gods and Demons, the Chiyou Demon Ancestor might not worship him.
"The rule of time in this place only serves to remind us to go to the Nine Li Demon Region." Long Chen pondered for a while but didn't find anything else.
"It's possible that the Origin Dragon's Dragon Soul or the Origin of the world is in the Nine Li Demon Region. This is the biggest clue. It's better than searching blindly."
With a real clue, everyone was very excited.
Long Chen said, "It's better to be cautious. First of all, we have to get past the Chiyou Demon Ancestor. If we clash with him, we'll be courting death. The only way is to become friends with him and hope that he will let me enter the Jiuli Demon Domain to look for him. Second, I reckon that even if we search carefully, we might not be able to find him without any other information."
Although this was a negative thought, it was the truth.
"There's one thing. You definitely can't let the Chiyou Demon Ancestor know that you're looking for the Origin of the world or the Dragon Soul. This is your chance to grow stronger. The less people know, the better. It's not good to let others know that you have a chance to become stronger. Otherwise, people will be jealous. After all, the Creator Gods can't become stronger."
He and Lingxi's situation was special. They became Creator Gods in the inheritance. Now, they were recovering their original realm.
"I understand that."
No matter what, Long Chen decided to go to the Nine Li Demon Region and meet the Chiyou Demon Ancestor.
