They were enemies, yet they came to look for him. It was indeed a little strange.
The Shoji Forefather went straight to the point and said, "After some contemplation and familiarization, coupled with the stimulation of today's matter, I feel that the choice I made before was a wrong one."
At this point, Long Chen had a rough idea of his intentions today.
"Please continue."
Long Chen did not reject it.
Demon Forefather Sheji said, "I can only blame myself for not knowing much about you and being bewitched by them. That's why I had some misunderstandings about you. Personally, my biggest doubt was that I still felt that it was better for one person to rule over the myriad worlds than the Ancestor God Alliance to rule over the myriad worlds together. I always felt that it was more fair and just, which was why I chose to join the Ancestor God Alliance."
"Your thoughts are understandable. After all, you don't know much about me."
Long Chen nodded.
Demon Forefather Sheji continued, "In the beginning, I joined them because I supported the Ancestor God Alliance. But as things developed, I realized that the actual situation was different from what I imagined. I seemed to have taken the wrong path. Today, I finally understand the crux of the matter."
Long Chen did not interrupt him.
Sheji Demon Forefather laughed bitterly and said, "Actually, this isn't a matter of choosing the Ancestral God Alliance or choosing you to rule over the myriad worlds. I chose them, not the Ancestral God Alliance, but the Strangler. Actually, from your point of view, I've realized that you really have no interest in ruling over the myriad worlds. You've also vowed to only pay attention to the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. This is already very clear."
"I was worried about you ruling over the myriad worlds. But as I gradually understood your personality, I realized that my worries were unnecessary. The Primal Chaos Ancestor God and the others thought more clearly than I did."
"Your existence is the symbol of the revival of the Myriad Worlds. If I were to kill you just to choose the Ancestor God Alliance, I would be neglecting the essentials. If I were to do that, I wouldn't be doing it for the Myriad Worlds. I would be doing it for myself. Just like how the Emperor Ancestor and the others opposed your dominance, they were actually doing it for themselves."
"Finally, today, I have my answer. This is because I can see that all the Elder Gods and all the living beings, with the exception of the nine of us, are basically standing by your side. This means that you are the one who truly holds the hearts of the masses. The Ancestor God Alliance has no conflict with you, as it stands behind you. As for the rest of us, we are not members of the Ancestor God Alliance. Therefore, there was no conflict between choosing the Ancestor God Alliance and choosing you. However, I chose to be a traitor. Today, I apologize to you, and I want to express to you that in the future, I will stand by your side and unwaveringly support you."
In the end, he clearly expressed his intentions. He didn't want to stay there anymore.
This was a wise decision, and it also made Long Chen smile. Of course, it was better to be on guard against others. Who knew if he was faking it, or if he was actually thinking of ways to get close to Long Chen and kill Long Chen?
When Long Chen thought of this, the other party naturally guessed it as well.
"Of course, I can't directly come to your side now, and I'm afraid you won't completely trust me either. After all, I've made a mistake. This is what I think. It's enough that you know my intentions. I will still mingle among them and be a so-called spy. If they make any moves, I will definitely inform you in advance. If they have any ideas, I will also communicate with you. If there's a huge battle royale again, I will not interfere much, and I might even switch sides at the last moment to reduce the pressure on you guys. This way, you just need to remember that your side has eleven Fourth Era Ancestor Gods, while the other side only has seven."
He made a decision for Long Chen that wouldn't put him in a dilemma at all.
Long Chen said, "Demon Ancestor Sheji, it's not difficult or strange to make a new decision. I choose to believe you. I may need your help on the other side."
Having a spy on the other side was a great help to Long Chen. Of course, after all, he couldn't fully trust him. He might need to see the real situation before he could make a judgment.
"Thank you. I'll tell you what they've been thinking about for the past few months."
Demon Ancestor Sheji was naturally excited to be trusted.
He basically told him everything that needed to be said, including their internal quarrel after the battle today, and every detail of the Great Hole Ancestor's words.
"This Great Hole Ancestor might have expected that one of us would switch sides, so he refused to say anything. Of course, he could also be deliberately mystifying us. You need to judge for yourself. However, I still suggest that you be careful. Of course, once I know the situation, I will tell you."
"Great Hole Ancestor."
Long Chen thought of his unusual behavior these days.
It was really possible that he was plotting a huge conspiracy, a conspiracy that could definitely kill Long Chen. Thinking back to his gloomy and cold expression these past few days, Long Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
"I understand."
It was impossible for Long Chen to forget this hatred. He still firmly remembered it. He was always waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the day when he surpassed the Black Hole Wizard Ancestor. This hatred of life and death must be ruthlessly repaid.
"Okay, let's not talk about it now."
Demon Ancestor Sheji's voice faded.
After that, Long Chen told the other ten Ancestral Gods about Sheji Demon Forefather's situation.
Destiny Star Ancestor said, "I know a little about Demon Ancestor Sheji. In fact, he's not bad. I always felt that he made the wrong choice. Now that he has turned over a new leaf, it should be normal."
Chaos Ancestor God said, "He chose to be our spy, which is of great help to us and won't pose a threat to us. The key is that the Great Hole Ancestor is preparing a big conspiracy. He has to be so mysterious."
This was not something that could be guessed.
"There don't seem to be many people left in the Great Hole Realm now. We should go directly and kill them. After all, Sacred Ancestor Kṣitigarbha can't leave the Realm of All Beings," Demon Ancestor Six Paths suggested.
The situation was too good. As long as they didn't take the initiative, they would be passive later.
Long Chen said, "This is not the best time. Think about it carefully. Given their personalities, if they are forced into a corner, they will probably attack all beings in the Great Hole Realm. The casualties will be too heavy for them to bear. I think the only way for the time being is to monitor each and every one of them. Of course, we have to secretly monitor them. Otherwise, we can send seven of them to monitor them first."
To monitor the Ancestral Gods of the Fourth Era, they had to be the Ancestral Gods of the Fourth Era.
Among them, three Ancestral Gods of the Fourth Era were left behind to build the formation on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. The other seven went out to keep watch. Most of them were hiding around the Chaotic Hole Shaman Realm. One Ancestral Soul went to keep an eye on the Mortal People's Ancestor Emperor, while the other Primordial War Ancestor went to keep an eye on Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha.
Only by knowing their positions and movements could Long Chen feel more at ease.
However, he found that after the battle that day, the Ancestral Gods basically stayed in three places: the Great Hole Realm, the Common People's Imperial Domain, and the Realm of All Beings.
Half a month passed, but there was no movement.
Sheji Demon Forefather was also in the Realm of All Beings.
"Any news?"
"The Great Hole Wizard Ancestor has locked himself up at all times. I have no idea what he is doing," Sheji Demon Forefather replied.
The key point was still the Black Hole Wizard Ancestor's scheme. As time passed, Long Chen indeed smelled a kind of danger.
He was considering whether he should attack first.
In the end, he gave up. After all, they were all in the Great Hole Realm. Once they attacked, it would definitely affect this world. He couldn't afford to suffer such heavy casualties.
…
Inside the Great Hole Realm.
Dark gray clouds filled the entire field of vision.
The Great Hole Wizard Ancestor had turned into a cloud and floated in the gray clouds. In front of him, there were also eight gray clouds that were changing shapes.
Vaguely, he could see that there were three women and five men.
They were the Origin Dragon Servants.
The Great Hole Wizard Ancestor laughed.
"Soon, soon, eight Soul Devouring Beasts will be born soon."
"Familiar people, respected elders, Soul Devouring Beasts … Hurry up and be born. Go plunder his ancestral soul and eat it clean."
