Since that was the case, there was nothing Long Chen could do about it.
He called Lingxi out. Lingxi was already prepared in the Death Reign. A palm-sized scorpion appeared on her arm. It was twice the size of the previous one and looked even more ferocious.
The scorpion passed through the gaps in the Death Reign and entered the Dream Heart. It locked onto the Ancestor Soul and scattered into countless small scorpions, occupying the World Origin.
What followed next was the Nightmare Ancestor God's blood-curdling screams. The Eternal Heart Corrosion Curse was not a pleasant thing to endure, but from start to finish, this woman deserved it. Even a kind-hearted person like Lingxi couldn't help but want to take revenge on someone who stole her child. From this, it could be seen just how abhorrent it was to steal someone else's child.
Not long after, the Primordial War Ancestor arrived. Seeing that the Seventh Era's Ancestor God had been subdued, he couldn't help but feel that Long Chen had given him too many surprises.
Although he didn't say it, he felt that as long as he could grow well in the future, he would naturally have a place in the 10,000 Realms.
"Will the punishment for this curse be too severe?" He remembered that Ancestor Dark Night was the same. It didn't seem easy to endure.
"If she's willing to repent, she can cancel it at any time." Long Chen wasn't being unreasonable. His main goal was to make the Nightmare Ancestor give up on that idea.
"Nightmare Ancestor God, you've made a mistake. The Ancestral Gods Alliance has decided to punish you with a thousand years of confinement. I, the Primordial War Ancestor, will carry it out."
The Primordial War Ancestor did not give her a chance to grow. He immediately restrained her in a cage that he had prepared beforehand. After he was done, he looked at Long Chen and said earnestly, "This matter has come to an end. No one will cause trouble for you in the future, so you can focus on growing. Try not to get into conflict with the Ancestral Gods Alliance. It won't be too late to wait until you become stronger. After all, there are times when I can't protect you."
Long Chen understood this. The Primordial War Ancestor was someone who truly cared for him.
"Don't worry, War Ancestor. I know what I'm doing. I don't offend those who don't offend me."
"That's good."
After chatting for a bit more, like an elder, the steel-machine-like Primordial War Ancestor finally left.
In any case, if the Nightmare Elder God wanted to wreak havoc again, it would be a thousand years later.
After returning to the Death Realm and the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, Lingxi, Li Xuanji, and the others could finally relax and vent their anger.
Of course, they would be more optimistic about these two children in the future. Being pregnant for so long in exchange for their birth was not easy for Lingxi and her husband.
The days that followed were indeed peaceful. No one provoked Long Chen, and Long Chen would not take the initiative to provoke others.
"Big brother, given your current level, you wouldn't lose to Elder God Nightmare in a one-on-one fight. The Seventh Era's Elder God probably wouldn't be able to do anything to you."
Mo Xiaolang and Long Chen were together on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, looking at the vast world below.
Long Chen shook his head. "The Nightmare Elder God is one of the weaker ones among the Seventh Era's Elder Gods. I can barely catch up to her, but it doesn't mean that the other Seventh Era's Elder Gods are the same."
Kitten said lazily, "That's because you don't know that the Ancestor Gods of the same epoch are also born at the beginning, middle, and end of an epoch. Of course, because the Ancestor Gods of the ninth and eighth epochs are too weak, there isn't much of a difference. However, the Ancestor Gods born in the seventh epoch are gradually different. That Nightmare Ancestor God was born at the end of the seventh epoch, and the nomological laws he specializes in aren't the direct attack type. That's why he was jointly suppressed by you guys. If it was the seventh epoch's Ancestor God born in the middle or beginning of an epoch, Boss only has one World's Origin, so he's much weaker in terms of power."
Of course, in terms of bloodline and Laws, he would surpass the other party.
Long Chen said, "I see. For example, in the Fourth Era, the Primordial Blood Spiritual Dragon and the other five Ancestor Dragons were born at the beginning of an era. The Curse Demon Ancestor, the Chaos Elder God, and the Primordial Infinite World Purifying Celestial Ancestor were born at the middle of an era, and some were born at the end of an era. Although the difference isn't as big as the difference between the Fourth and Fifth Era's Elder Gods, there's still a difference."
Kitten chuckled. "This is also why the Ancestor Dragons are stronger than the Chaos Elder Gods. In the same era, there's a difference of hundreds of millions of years between their birth times. The earlier they are born, the stronger they are. Back in the day, Lord Cat's peak strength was comparable to the Sixth Era's Elder God who was born at the beginning of an era. I almost had five Origin of the World."
"You only have four Origin of the World. How dare you compare yourself to the Void Astral Dragon?" Long Chen laughed.
"That … that's because Lord Cat is the strongest Destruction Elder God. Of course, I have to compete with the strongest Creation Elder God. After all, both the First and Second Ancestor Dragons come and go unpredictably."
Kitten had a proud look on his face. Back then, he was also a heroic person … just a little stupid.
The days settled down. About ten days later, Sacred Ancestor Dark Night came to visit.
He knelt outside the Draconic Sacrificial Continent. He, who was suffering from the Heart Eroding Curse for Life, came to beg for Long Chen's forgiveness and a sincere apology.
"Sacred Ancestor Ke Ye, I have no intention of fighting with you. The reason why I made you suffer so badly is to let you know that I have the ability to make you kneel and beg for mercy. Of course, I'll let you go this time, but I don't expect you to go against me. Hold on, I just want to remind you that if you do it again, I might not be able to remove the curse so easily."
Long Chen leaned close to his ear and said those words as coldly as water.
"Don't worry. From now on, I won't even go near the Draconic Sacrificial Continent," Sacred Ancestor Dark Night said in a trembling voice. The nightmare brought about by the Heart Eroding Curse was truly too terrifying.
The reason why it took more than ten days to reach the Draconic Sacrificial Continent was because it took him more than ten days to travel a distance that could normally be covered very quickly. It was a painful and unforgettable journey.
"Let's go."
Long Chen asked Lingxi to remove the curse. Sacred Ancestor Dark Night didn't say anything else. He stood up and fled in a hurry without looking back. To him, this place was an eternal nightmare that he could never escape.
He really didn't dare to come again.
The days in the future were even more peaceful. Kitten and Lingxi were condensing new Origin of the World in order to reach the eighth era's Ancestor God. Although Long Chen's progress was rapid, it wasn't that fast. Therefore, his first task was to find the Void Astral Dragon's World Origin and Origin Dragon Soul.
The clues were all in the Jiuli Demon Territory.
These days, Long Chen was also discussing with the Dragon Attendants. However, because the Chiyou Demon Ancestor was too terrifying, the Dragon Attendants didn't have a chance to get close at all, especially when the Chiyou Demon Ancestor had already set up the Immemorial Jiuli Demon Diagram.
"I'll go take a look again."
Long Chen stood far away from the Jiuli Demon Territory and looked at the pitch-black, dark-red world filled with demonic aura. With the Chiyou Demon Ancestor around, he couldn't get close at all.
"It's more likely that the World Origin exists."
"Back then, I only found the location of 'Massacre' because I comprehended the Blood Wheel Sword. Now, because of the 'pool', although I know it's in the Jiuli Demon Territory, I probably won't be able to find it even if I go in. Therefore, it's very likely that I only have one chance to go in, so I have to be more confident."
He was actually thinking whether it was possible that he comprehended a new Rule of Time that could help him. Back then, he used the Blood Wheel Sword to destroy the short mountain and obtained 'Massacre'.
"Rule. Oh right … that 'pool'."
Back then, Long Chen had relied on the Sea of Time to comprehend many Rule of Time.
He decided to go to the 'pool' again to take a look. There might be other clues.
Just as he was about to set off, he suddenly felt a terrifying feeling behind him. Looking back, he saw the Chiyou Demon Ancestor, who had a bull's head and two thick arms, surrounded by black and dark-red demonic aura. He stared at Long Chen with his dark-red eyes and asked, "I'm very curious, what exactly are you looking for?"
Long Chen was really shocked. He didn't expect the Chiyou Demon Ancestor to be able to discover him from such a distance. This was because at this time, Long Chen had even used the Shadow of Death to protect himself.
The Fifth Era's Ancestral God was also this terrifying.
Kitten had said that the Chiyou Demon Ancestor was born at the beginning of the Fifth Era, or even at the end of the Fourth Era and the beginning of the Fifth Era. His ability was one of the strongest among the nearly 100 Fifth Era's Ancestral Gods.
He was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Long Chen's mind raced, but he couldn't think of a reason. Anyway, whatever he said would obviously be a lie, so he didn't say anything and directly said, "Greetings, Demon Ancestor."
The Chiyou Demon Ancestor came forward and stared into his eyes. A terrifying pressure pressed down on Long Chen's body. He continued to ask, "Let me ask you, what do you want to find in my Jiuli Demon Territory?"
Long Chen thought about it and said, "It's my personal thing. I don't just look at it in the Jiuli Demon Territory. I see it in other worlds. After all, it's my personal thing, so it's not convenient to tell the Demon Ancestor."
Normally, even the Seventh Era's Ancestral God would tremble under the pressure of the Chiyou Demon Ancestor. It was already very good that Long Chen could answer so calmly.
"In that case, I don't want to see you around the Jiuli Demon Territory. Otherwise, I might not be polite. I don't have a good temper. Even if you let me live, I can't control myself when I'm angry."
"Understood."
The Chiyou Demon Ancestor's words were very firm. It was an accident that he was discovered so easily today. With the current situation, he definitely couldn't stay here. Therefore, after Long Chen opened the Death Realm Dragon Gate and bid farewell to the Chiyou Demon Ancestor, he directly left.
In fact, he was about to leave, but he was just one step away.
After Long Chen left, the Chiyou Demon Ancestor stood at this position and looked at the Jiuli Demon Territory.
"He is the Ancestral Dragon's descendant. What he wants is probably the thing left behind by the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. I want to see if there's anything in my world that I can't find."
