"Demon Ancestor, I can confirm that the thing I want is in your Jiuli Demon Territory. That is the inheritance of the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. It is of utmost importance to me, but it is of no importance to you." Long Chen went straight to the point and stated his intentions.
The Chiyou Demon Ancestor did not chase him away immediately. Instead, he pondered for a while and said, "And then?"
Long Chen said sincerely, "Therefore, I would like to ask the Demon Ancestor to let me go in and take that thing. I can guarantee to the Demon Ancestor that this thing is of no use to you. After all, it was placed here by the Ancestral Dragon. Only the Divine Dragon Race is of use to it. To me, its use and significance are extraordinary. If the Demon Ancestor is willing to agree, Long Chen can guarantee that if I have the ability in the future, I will definitely serve the Demon Ancestor's orders."
Of course, he was so powerful. Unless the Fourth Epoch's Ancestral God wanted to target him, there was really no use for Long Chen.
Therefore, Demon Ancestor Chiyou naturally laughed. He laughed coldly and said, "Don't joke with me. To me, you really don't have much use. How about this, you tell me what exactly it is that you want."
If it was the World's Origin Source, Long Chen was not sure if the Demon Ancestor would give it to him. After all, he roughly knew that some people in the Ancestral Gods Alliance did not want him to become stronger.
The World's Origin Source was of great significance.
Therefore, he could not say it.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "Demon Ancestor, even I do not know what it is. I only received guidance to come here to look for it." After a pause, he said, "If I can obtain it, Long Chen will be extremely grateful."
"Are you sure that it is with me?"
Fortunately, the Chiyou Demon Ancestor did not continue to ask what it was. Long Chen's explanation was not bad. After all, it was something left behind by the Ancestral Dragon. It was reasonable for him not to know. In fact, until now, Long Chen could not be sure if it was the World's Origin Source or the Origin Dragon Soul.
However, with the experience of 'Massacre', the possibility of it being the World's Origin Source was higher.
"I'm sure." Long Chen nodded.
The Demon Ancestor Chiyou coldly sized him up for a while, then finally waved his hand and said, "Forget it. No matter what, you're the one who allowed me to survive. I have to repay this debt. I'll agree to let you go in and search for it. However, it just so happens that I need your help with a small matter. If you help me with this matter, I'll let you go in and search for it. Of course, I'll also repay the debt of the Doomsday Battle. After all, you're quite thirsty for this thing, right?"
Long Chen nodded. He wanted to know what the Chiyou Fiend Ancestor wanted him to do.
"I'm perfecting the Primordial Jiuli Devil Diagram, but I'm lacking a material. I need you to help me find that material."
"What?" At the very least, it was not asking him to kill someone. It should not be difficult to find a set of materials.
"Its name is the Instant Magic Stone."
Long Chen had never heard of this item. He asked, "Is this something from before the epoch, or does it exist now? It's possible that the divine items that existed before the epoch have all disappeared. Moreover, what level of divine item is this Instant Magic Stone? Is it considered a Primal Chaos Treasure?"
In the current Ten Thousand Worlds, the highest gemstones and the like were Primal Chaos Treasures of the Original Grade. They were also very rare. However, the problem was that even Primal Chaos Treasures of the Original Grade were basically useless to Ancestor Gods.
It was the same for Primal Chaos Treasures of the Original Grade.
That was why he had so many questions.
The Chiyou Fiend Ancestor was very patient. He said, "Firstly, this item existed before the epoch. There were many of them, but they still exist today. This is a divine item that is above Primal Chaos Treasures. It was born at the beginning of the world, even before I was born. It was probably born in the third epoch."
Long Chen was shocked. He asked, "How can such an item still exist in the Ten Thousand Worlds?"
The Chiyou Fiend Ancestor saw that he was ignorant and smirked. He said, "That's because you don't know. The Instant Magic Stone is very small. It's only the size of a thumb. Moreover, it has the power of time and space. It can change its position in space at any moment and is constantly flickering. The longest it can stay in one place is not more than 15 minutes. Of course, most of the time, it changes its position in an instant and never stops. Since you don't know of its existence, it is naturally hard for you to see it."
Long Chen really did not expect such a mystical item to exist in the Ten Thousand Worlds.
"I can catch such an item."
"It's not difficult. I'm just too lazy to look for it. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the luck to see it."
Logically, Long Chen had the power to control time. Compared to anyone else, it would be easier for him to snatch the Instant Magic Stone.
"Alright, I understand."
For the Source of the World, Time, he had to listen to the Chiyou Fiend Ancestor. He had to find the Instant Magic Stone for him, even though he had no clue.
"Actually, the Instant Magic Stone doesn't teleport very far. Sometimes, it will stay in one place for a long time. Two hours before you came, I received news that it appeared near the Eastern Star Region's Sea of Sky Demon," the Chiyou Fiend Ancestor said.
Long Chen was very familiar with the Sea of Sky Demon. Back then, he had passed through the Sea of Sky Demon to find the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm.
At least he knew where it was. Long Chen relaxed a little. It seemed like the Chiyou Fiend Ancestor was not making things difficult for him. He should have a way to get it.
"As long as I get this Instant Magic Stone, I will be able to obtain time."
The Source of the World of the Void Eon Dragon naturally made Long Chen excited.
"Fiend Ancestor, I will set off now."
Long Chen was ready.
"Wait." The Chiyou Fiend Ancestor stopped him and said, "I have something to tell you."
"Please speak."
"Previously, many seventh, eighth, and ninth era Ancestral Gods came to seek my protection. They wanted to become my subordinates and receive my protection. I promised them that whoever obtained the Instant Magic Stone and gave it to me would become my brother. Therefore, you might have many competitors this time. Of course, if the Instant Magic Stone is obtained by others, I might not let you enter to take your item."
Long Chen knew that it would not be as easy as he imagined.
There were actually competitors.
As for those Ancestral Gods seeking protection, Long Chen could understand. Now that the 10,000 Worlds had entered a new era, the Ancestral Gods were all isolated. Naturally, they had to form their own factions. It was normal for the weaker Ancestral Gods to seek protection from the strong in order to protect themselves. For example, Long Chen would ask the Primordial War Ancestor for help.
Just like in the mortal world, ordinary small countries would choose to become subordinates of large countries to ensure their own safety. They might even be able to intimidate others. If anyone could become the brother of the Chiyou Fiend Ancestor, at least those weaker than him would not dare to bully him. Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to the Chiyou Fiend Ancestor.
"No problem."
Long Chen was very clear that although the Chiyou Fiend Ancestor had agreed, he had also given Long Chen many problems.
However, this was also good. At least after obtaining 'time', he would not be too grateful to the Chiyou Fiend Ancestor because it was an equal exchange. This would save him the trouble of doing things that he did not like in the future.
Only then did Long Chen leave the Jiuli Demon Region and return to the Death Reign. Although the Ancestral Gods were all searching for the Instant Demon Stone and were racing against time, Long Chen still discussed this matter with everyone.
"Actually, this outcome is already very good. With the Chiyou Fiend Ancestor's status, he will not act recklessly. At least as long as Big Brother obtains the Instant Demon Stone, he will definitely be able to obtain 'time'."
"That's right. Big Brother also has the advantage in terms of time."
Since everyone felt that there were no major problems, Long Chen made some preparations before setting off alone. Of course, if he was in a dangerous situation, the Lingxi and the rest would be between the Death Reign and the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. They could help at any time.
Not long after, Long Chen arrived near the Sky Demon Sea.
"Instant Demon Stone … Time … Space …"
Looking at the vast Star Domain, it was really not easy to find a thumb-sized stone that changed shape at any time in this huge world. The moment he arrived, Long Chen knew the difficulty of this mission.
"Where is it?"
If he continued forward, he would reach the Sky Demon Sea. The Sky Demon Sea was the same as the Purgatory Sun in the past. Of course, to Long Chen and the rest, it was just a very ordinary pool. It did not pose any threat.
Long Chen remained here. His perception of time was like a thread that extended towards the surrounding space. In this endless space, he was able to capture a different time.
"Since the Instant Demon Stone contains the power of time, the fluctuations of time will definitely be different from the surroundings."
This was the only way for Long Chen to find it.
About two hours later, he did not find the Instant Demon Stone. Instead, he met two familiar people. One was the Limitless Old Ancestor, and the other was the Ancient Wood Sacred Ancestor. They were both Long Chen's old friends.
They were the Ancestor Gods of the Ninth Era. In the Myriad Worlds, they were much more superior than ordinary gods and demons. They were the Lords of Creation, but among the Ancestor Gods, they were the lowest.
Ever since the Ancestor Gods returned, they had been keeping a low profile.
Apart from the two of them, there were a few other Ancestor Gods. They were all Ancestor Gods of the Ninth Era. A total of seven gathered together. When they came out of the Sky Demon Sea, they saw Long Chen.
"Long Chen, why are you here? Are you also here to find the Instant Demon Stone?"
The Ancient Wood Sacred Ancestor and the Limitless Old Ancestor came forward alone. The others were not familiar with Long Chen. They were slightly wary and watched from afar.
Long Chen nodded and said, "What about the rest of you?"
The Ancient Wood Sacred Ancestor and the Limitless Old Ancestor looked at each other. The Limitless Old Ancestor said, "We also heard that Demon Ancestor Chiyou said that whoever gets the Instant Demon Stone and gives it to him will be able to follow him and receive his protection. They might even become his friends. Therefore, we are all here to try our luck. After all, we are the lowest of the Ancestor Gods. Who doesn't want an expert to protect them?"
The Limitless Old Ancestor was rather helpless.
