The Satsuma Demon Forefather was extremely enthusiastic and didn't notice the expressions of those around her. Long Chen was a hero who had saved her life twice. She'd been wondering if she'd have a chance to thank Long Chen back then.
Now that she was pleasantly surprised, she couldn't take her eyes off Long Chen.
"Satsuma Demon Forefather."
Sacred Ancestor Drought Demon reminded Demon Forefather Satsuma with his dry voice. Only then did Demon Forefather Satsuma recall that he was on the same team as them.
"Give me a little more time … Oh, no."
She suddenly had an idea and asked Long Chen, "Are you also looking for the Instant Magic Stone? That's great. Our team isn't full yet. Why don't you join us? Don't worry, I'll protect you."
Satsuma Great Demon Ancestor Liuyue was filled with anticipation. His big eyes flickered as he looked at Long Chen pitifully. His gaze was indeed irresistible. However, Long Chen naturally couldn't be with them.
"No."
But the first to speak were the Drought Demon Forefather and the other Forefather Gods. The Drought Demon Forefather's eyes were cold as he said, "Demon Forefather, don't make a decision on your own. We've already agreed that for the remaining three spots, we'll have to find a seventh era Forefather God that we can team up with. That way, our team will be the strongest. How can you treat this like child's play?"
His eyes were filled with arrogance. He clearly thought that although Long Chen was famous, he was still a ninth era Forefather God. In terms of strength, he was the weakest in the myriad of worlds.
Even the Ancestral Gods of the eighth era beside him didn't agree to it.
"Ah." The smile on the Satsuma Demon Forefather's face finally disappeared, replaced by disappointment.
Although Long Chen quite liked this fellow, he had more important matters to attend to. He said, "I won't join you. After all, I'm used to acting alone."
Since both sides were unwilling, the Satsuma Demonic Ancestor's plan fell through. However, she couldn't bear to part with Long Chen. She had originally thought that the Drought-Demon Ancestor wasn't a bad person, but she didn't expect him to reject Long Chen so much. He was no different from those ungrateful Creator Gods. This made her very unhappy.
She suddenly said, "If that's the case, then I won't join their team. Long Chen, I'll go with you. I want to find a chance to repay you, so you can't refuse me."
Looking at her pitiful appearance, no one would be able to reject her. It would not be a problem if she was the only one following him. After all, she was a Primordial Ancestor God of the Fourth Era in the middle of an era. It would be difficult for Long Chen to deal with her.
Hearing this, Long Chen didn't say anything, but the Drought Demon Ancestor was enraged. The eighth era Forefather Gods had ugly expressions on their faces. Among them, the Drought Demon Ancestor said, "Demon Ancestor, what do you take us for? Our team is not something you can join or leave just because you want to. You don't respect us at all, do you?"
Seeing his anger, the Satsuma Demon Ancestor also lost his temper. He said, "Then what do you want? In any case, I don't want to follow you. I'm so annoying. All of you are so cold and don't talk to me. You keep making me fight."
In truth, the Satsuma Demon Ancestor wasn't a good match for their team at all. It was just that this fellow was a bit of a fool, thinking that everyone in the world was good.
The Drought Demon Ancestor laughed in anger, "What do I want? Since you've decided to follow Long Chen, I'll beat you up so you'll remember to take a detour the next time you see me."
Indeed, they were dissatisfied with the Satsuma Demon Ancestor joining and leaving at will. Of course, they'd tricked her into joining their team because she was a bit naive.
Long Chen hadn't said anything yet, but their internal strife had already reached this point. Of course, the Drought Demon Ancestor and the others didn't care what Long Chen had to say. In any case, it had nothing to do with them. Right now, they wanted to punish the Satsuma Demon Ancestor to vent their anger.
Of course, the source of their anger was Long Chen, who had abducted the Satsuma Demon Ancestor. However, they had learned from the mistake of Kui Ye. Only Long Chen had the protection of a stronger Forefather God, so they didn't involve Long Chen.
"Damn it."
The Satsuma Demon Ancestor's face was flushed with anger. She'd said all sorts of nice things when she'd first joined their team, but now they'd turned against her immediately.
"Attack!"
At the Drought Demon Ancestor's command, a seventh era Forefather God led five eighth era Forefather Gods in attacking the Satsuma Demon Ancestor. Generally speaking, five eighth era Forefather Gods were a relatively powerful force, and it wouldn't be a problem for them to temporarily surround a seventh era Forefather God.
Six of them ganged up on one.
Among them, there were humans and demons.
Satsuma Demon Ancestor Liuyue transformed into her true form in a fit of rage. Sure enough, what appeared before Long Chen was a pure-white demon hound, its fur fluttering like snow. Its divine body was even larger than the Sun-Devouring Monstrous Wolf's, and it still looked very beautiful. It didn't have much of an aggressive nature, and if it weren't for the fact that Mo Xiaolang's heart already belonged to someone else, it would've been a good match for him.
However, even though she was a seventh era Forefather God, she was quickly at a disadvantage against so many opponents, especially the Drought Demon Ancestor's attacks. After all, she had six opponents.
In front of her, the giant beasts were fighting, and the Forefather Gods were entangled.
As expected of the seventh era Forefather God. From the looks of it, she was indeed much stronger than the Nightmare Forefather. Things had suddenly escalated to this point, and the cute Satsuma Demon Ancestor who liked him was being ganged up on. Naturally, Long Chen had to step in.
At this moment, the World Origin, Massacre, appeared in his hand. Grasping it, he transformed into a blood-colored phantom and charged at the eighth era Forefather Gods. They were the ones who'd been obstructing the Satsuma Demon Ancestor, which was why he'd been suppressed by the Drought Demon Ancestor.
"Shadow of Death."
Long Chen used the shadow of death to conceal himself, and as he proceeded onward, he unwittingly appeared behind one of the Creator Gods. It was a Creator God from the eighth era.
"Blood Wheel Sword."
The Blood Wheel Sword tore apart the first eighth era Forefather God. Under Long Chen's violent attacks, the eighth era Forefather God had no power to resist.
"Argh!"
The first eighth era Forefather God was gravely injured and eliminated. From then on, the remaining five realized that Long Chen had already made his move.
"Long Chen, how dare you attack us first!"
The Drought Demon Ancestor was enraged. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Satsuma Demon Ancestor broke free from the suppression and launched an attack.
"Soulslaying Sword."
As the Drought Demon Ancestor cursed, Long Chen unleashed his terrifying power and caught up to the second eighth era Forefather God. Using the Soulslaying Sword, he heavily injured the Forefather God's soul and eliminated him. If they hadn't been eliminated soon, they'd have been worried that they'd lose their lives.
"This kid actually defeated the eighth era Forefather God with a single move. The Ancestral Dragon's legacy is actually this powerful." In truth, they were deeply shaken.
"You three, go attack him!"
The Drought Demon Ancestor was facing the Satsuma Demon Ancestor's counterattack. If he didn't suppress Long Chen, he'd be the butt of the joke today. Hearing his roar, the three eighth era Forefather Gods finally reacted and simultaneously attacked Long Chen.
They thought that even the seventh era Forefather God would be somewhat afraid of being surrounded. Could Long Chen … block them?
Facing these three opponents, Long Chen had originally wanted to test out the Time Dragon, but then he realized that he shouldn't reveal too much about time before obtaining it.
Thus, he decided to temporarily change it to the Lifeseizer Dragondiagram. The Lifeseizer Dragondiagram quickly took shape in his hands, and the blood-colored dragon began to glow with light as it appeared on the bodies of the three Elder Gods. It was a dragon head, a dragon body, and a dragon tail. Although it was only a third of it, it was more than enough to deal with the three Elder Gods of the eighth era. The Lifeseizer Dragondiagram was incredibly powerful, and it was created solely for the purpose of seizing lives. If it weren't for the fact that Long Chen had been merciful, he would have been able to take the lives of these three Elder Gods.
"Ah!"
Before the three Elder Gods could even attack, they had already retreated. In the blink of an eye, all five of the eighth era's Creation Elder Gods had retreated. They were in a sorry state as they retreated to the side to recuperate from their injuries. Even an ordinary seventh era's Ancestor God wouldn't be able to cause such damage.
"Time to scram."
Long Chen appeared next to the Satsuma Demon Ancestor. In front of him was the Drought Demon Ancestor. Now, the Drought Demon Ancestor was exposed to his sword. The battle between the two seventh era Forefather Gods had stopped because of Long Chen's intervention.
The Drought Demon Ancestor's face darkened, while the Satsuma Demon Ancestor transformed back into a cute young girl. She clenched her fists and placed them on her chest, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Long Chen …
"Hmph, it seems like you've grown quite well, Ancestor Dragon. You've improved by leaps and bounds. I'm so envious."
The Drought Demon Ancestor gnashed his teeth. Now that there were five injured people around him, continuing to fight would only bring humiliation to himself.
"Thank you for the compliment." Long Chen looked at him indifferently.
"However, the road ahead will be bumpy. I hope you can really survive, and one day become the ruler of all Forefather Gods as you imagine."
The Drought Demon Ancestor's words weren't meant to congratulate Long Chen, but to mock him. He was sure that Long Chen wouldn't reach that level. If he really did, someone would stop him.
After saying that, the Drought Demon Ancestor turned around angrily. He must have suppressed his murderous intent in his heart. Seeing him leave, the remaining five Forefather Gods followed him.
"Long Chen, I'll make you pay for what you've done today with your blood," one of the Forefather Gods said viciously as he left.
One of the Ancestor Gods said viciously as he left. Of course, he was only putting on a brave front because he didn't even dare to look Long Chen in the eye when he spoke.
"That's great."
The Satsuma Demon Ancestor was intoxicated. If it weren't for her shyness, she would have pounced on Long Chen. Long Chen looked back and saw that she was blushing. He asked, "I … um, can I go with you to find the Instant Magic Stone? Please, let me go with you, okay?"
