Beside him, Sacred Ancestor Ancientwood said, "That's strange. Long Chen, don't you have the help of the Primordial War Ancestor? I heard that you were fighting against the Ancestor God Alliance, but no one from the Ancestor God Alliance touched you. You saved 10,000 worlds, and your contributions are great. There are many Ancestor Gods protecting you. Why are you fighting with us for the Instant Magic Stone?"
She worshiped Long Chen. In her eyes, Long Chen was a high and mighty figure.
Long Chen could only say, "To tell you the truth, I want to obtain something else from the Chiyou Demon Ancestor. He wants me to use the Instant Magic Stone to exchange for it. However, I hope that the two of you can help me keep this a secret. Just let my goal be the same as yours."
The two Ancestor Gods looked at each other. They did not think much of it. Patriarch Infinity said, "Don't worry, you can search without worry. We are just here to join in the fun. We won't get it. If that thing of yours is important, and we accidentally get it, we will definitely give it to you."
Hearing this, Long Chen was very touched.
He said, "If that's the case, Long Chen will not forget today's kindness."
Sacred Ancestor Ancientwood said, "Don't say that. We all know how we survived the Doomsday War. Anyway, you are our benefactor, and I will not be ungrateful … But there's no point in saying so much. The chances of us getting it are too low. It's said that even the Sixth Era Ancestor Gods are joining the search. I even saw a few Seventh Era Ancestor Gods. You will be under a lot of pressure."
"There are so many people, and there are even Sixth Era Ancestor Gods."
Indeed, Long Chen felt the pressure.
But this could not make him give up.
On the other side, the remaining Ancestor Gods were already telling them to leave.
"These are our new friends from the nearby worlds. However, they don't seem to be very grateful to you," the Boundless Old Ancestor introduced.
Seeing so many of them in a group, Long Chen asked, "That's strange. There are so many of you in a group. Once you see the Instant Magic Stone, won't you have to fight each other for it? You might as well act alone."
"You don't know."
Sacred Ancestor Ancient Wood was shocked. She said, "It's like this. The Chiyou Demon Ancestor allowed us to form teams. He said that a team can only have ten people at most. If one of us gets the Instant Magic Stone and gives it to him, we will all be under his protection. That's why most of us formed teams this time. There are even teams from the seventh era's Ancestral God."
So that was how it was.
"Why don't you join us?" Sacred Ancestor Ancient Wood asked.
The Boundless Old Ancestor said, "He can't. He and the Chiyou Demon Ancestor made a separate agreement. It's different from ours, even though they are competing for the same thing."
That was true.
The people on the other side urged the Ancient Wood Sacred Ancestor and the others to leave. Long Chen told them to return first, and the group of Ancestor Gods left. After encountering the Ancient Wood Sacred Ancestor and the others, Long Chen learned one thing: enemies usually came in groups.
A group of people looking for the same thing was of course much more likely than a single person looking for it.
"Whatever, let's keep searching."
A single person like Long Chen was definitely more useful than a group. He used the power of time to search, and this time, he had made huge improvements.
As he searched, he changed locations. Before long, he left the Sky Demon Sea. Soon, Long Chen discovered that it depended on luck. It depended on who the Instant Magic Stone would suddenly appear around.
Within a few days, Long Chen encountered several teams. Most of them were from the eighth era's Ancestral God. They formed teams. Although the ninth era's Ancestral God had the most numbers, most of them were there to join in the fun. There were also many Ancestral Gods from the seventh era.
Basically, Long Chen did not approach them. He searched alone.
"It seems that the temptation of the Chiyou Demon Ancestor's protection is quite great."
The number of people in the vicinity increased. Ever since he arrived, Long Chen had not heard any news of the Instant Magic Stone appearing.
"Perhaps it has already run off to another place."
Long Chen yearned for time. Therefore, he was very anxious about the Instant Magic Stone. He had not heard any news, and he felt very uneasy. If someone else got it first, it would be troublesome.
As he pondered, Long Chen was too engrossed. All his attention was focused on the changes in time. He sat on a fragmentary star and moved with it. He did not notice that a team was approaching him.
Only when they got close did Long Chen open his eyes. By this point, the group of people were already very close to him. They had discovered Long Chen, and had come over to meet him. Long Chen took a closer look and saw that there were a total of seven people. Five of them were Elder Gods from the eighth era, while the other two were Elder Gods from the seventh era. This was the strongest group of people Long Chen had seen in recent times.
The two seventh era Ancestral Gods were at the front of the team. One of them was tall and burly. His skin was gray, not made of rock, but like frozen, dried meat. There were several deep scars on his body, even on his face. Under those scars, one could vaguely see that there were raging flames and lava. His eyes were dry and scorching. Everywhere he looked, there was a fiery feeling. Although he did not have an ancestral flame, in terms of strength, he completely surpassed Mo Xiaolang.
The other was a cute young lady. She was very cute, with big eyes and canine teeth. She had snow-white hair that was as soft as a fox's. She was an Ancestral God of the demon race, but her original form was not a white fox. She looked more like Mo Xiaolang, but she was not a wolf either. If Long Chen was not wrong, she should be a … dog.
The pure-white dog always had a smile on her face. She was sober and charming, and her eyes were intelligent. She looked at Long Chen curiously. There were many unsettled factors in her eyes. She was like a child, making Long Chen feel like he was looking at a dragon.
However, this was the seventh era Ancestral God.
There were more than 10,000 Ancestral Gods. Long Chen actually knew almost all of them.
The man on the left was the Ancestral God of the Western Star Region. His Primordial Chaos Realm world was the Raging Inferno Star Ocean. It was a star region covered in flames all day long. Endless flames filled the starry sky. This Ancestral God was also very famous. He was … Sacred Ancestor Drought Demon.
Legend had it that wherever he went, not even a blade of grass would grow. He was also one of the progenitors of flames in the myriad worlds.
The other had nothing to do with Sacred Ancestor Drought Demon. There was a Primordial Chaos Realm in the Eastern Star Region called the War Hounds Realm. It was filled with dog-type monsters that were even larger than the Ravenous Wolf Star Ocean. This cute, white-haired, furry girl was the Ancestral God of the War Hounds Realm, the Satsuma Demonic Ancestor.
Her original form was the Satsuma Demonic Dog, the ruler of the War Hounds Realm. In truth, the Satsuma Demonic Ancestor was extremely powerful. If one was deceived by her cute appearance, it would be dangerous.
"The Nightmare Ancestral God was born at the end of the seventh era. He is the weakest of the seventh era's Ancestral Gods. These two were born in the middle of the seventh era, and they both specialize in offensive Laws. They are much harder to deal with than the Nightmare Ancestral God. If they attack together, I don't have much chance of winning."
Long Chen only had one Origin of the World, while they had three. The huge gap in strength reduced the possibility of him creating a miracle. On the other hand, the eighth era's Ancestral God was no match for him at all.
Therefore, facing this team of seven, Long Chen was very cautious. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the cute Satsuma Demonic Ancestor saw Long Chen and immediately smiled brilliantly. She ran towards Long Chen like a wisp of smoke and exclaimed in a love-struck tone, "Long Chen, is it really you, Long Chen?"
She was too enthusiastic. From her crystal clear eyes, there was not the slightest bit of evil, only deep worship. This left Long Chen dumbfounded. What was this Satsuma Demonic Ancestor trying to do?
She was born in the seventh era and was his elder's elder's elder's elder …
"You."
You can call me Yue Yue. You saved me twice during the apocalypse. The first time was when you led the team to the center of the apocalypse. I almost died. It was you and Miss Lingxi who brought me back to life and woke me up. Later, it was you who killed the black-robed man and saved my life. That time, I almost died as well. So, you are my savior. "Long Chen stood up and saw that the Satsuma Demon Ancestor was already standing in front of him. She almost stopped and said," I finally see you alone. Do you know me? I'm the Satsuma Demon Ancestor, but I think this name is too ugly, so I gave myself a nicer name, 'Liuyue'. You can call me Yue Yue. You don't know me? You do. During the apocalypse, you saved me twice. The first time was when you led the team to the center of the apocalypse.
That time, I almost lost my life as well, so you're my savior. "She rambled on and finally said everything she needed to say. When she was done, she looked at Long Chen expectantly. To be honest, that love-struck expression really scared Long Chen. Among the Primordial Gods, he had never seen such enthusiasm …
However, he had saved too many people that day. In the end, it was a team of thousands that went to the core of the doomsday, so he didn't have a deep impression of her, but he was sure that she was right.
Long Chen had always believed that among the Primordial Gods, there must be some who were grateful to him, such as the Primordial War Ancestor and so on. The Satsuma Demonic Ancestor was just one of them who was not stingy in expressing her gratitude. To be able to see Long Chen was a huge surprise for her.
"Hello, Liuyue."
This was a Primordial God with the heart of a young girl. Losing her memory was a rebirth. In fact, she was now a young girl, so she gave herself a name … other Primordial Gods wouldn't …
"Heavens, you're smiling at me …" The Satsuma Demonic Ancestor looked dizzy. This was a huge surprise for her.
"I-I-I-I … I think you're too handsome, too powerful. You're the greatest hero in my heart. I want to tell you that no matter what others think of you, I'll support you. Are you willing to let me be your friend?"
The Satsuma Demonic Ancestor clasped her hands in front of her chest and asked expectantly. Her big, blinking eyes stared at Long Chen.
"Of course, no problem."
Seeing this girl so enthusiastic, Long Chen's mood improved a lot, and his previous gloominess was swept away. Although she was an elder among his elders, in fact, she gave him a very similar feeling to Long Yan. They were both full of vitality, but Long Yan was more mischievous. Therefore, in Long Chen's eyes, she felt like a sweetheart daughter …
