Who did that figure belong to? Who was the corpse it was holding … Wang Lin didn't dare to think about it. He didn't want to think about it, and he was afraid to think about it … He silently sat in the ancestral temple and silently counted the 68 years that had passed.
"There isn't much time left …" Wang Lin's voice was faintly discernible inside the ancestral temple.
In the Ancient Shi imperial city, when the 27 halos appeared, the uproar reached a peak. Everyone's gazes gathered on the Ancient Ancestor statue. "
This person's first soul split lasted three years and the second split lasted 15 years. He must have completely split and fused perfectly! "
His first time was considered successful, but there was clearly an accident during the second fusion. I wonder what his third time … will be like! "
"If this Wang Lin continues to choose to completely split, it will be very difficult for him to pass the third split. If I were him, I would end the third split early to ensure my safety.
As everyone's gazes gathered, Wang Lin let out a deep breath. He expelled the thoughts from his mind and immersed himself in Gu Dao's third soul split!
He could feel that after the second soul split succeeded, his origin soul had become much stronger, and his cultivation had become even stronger. If the third soul split succeeded as well, then when his origin soul returned to his body and fused with his body, he would reach a new peak!
This level … might even surpass Gu Dao!
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and revealed a determined gaze. The moment he closed his eyes, the giant origin soul around him began to split for the third time!
This was also the last time!
"Three years, 15 years … How many years will it take this time …" Wang Lin didn't know the answer.
Time flew by. Unknowingly, seven years had passed since Wang Lin's third soul split in the ancestral temple. The members of the Ancient Shi were also looking at the 27 halos on the Ancient Ancestor statue in anticipation.
The Ancient Shi Emperor and the new emperor, Ji Du, were about to complete the handover.
The day of Ji Du becoming the new emperor was getting closer and closer.
As the day slowly approached, the gazes of the Ancient Shi moved away from the Ancient Ancestor statue and focused on the most important matter in the entire Ancient Shi. The ascension of the new emperor!
There were still 25 years before Ji Du ascended the throne, and the Ancient Shi Emperor gradually handed over the countless troops to Ji Du. This gave Ji Du enough time to familiarize himself with them and prepare for the Celestial Ji war that might occur hundreds of years from now!
Five years … Five years … Five years … Time passed invisibly, and in the blink of an eye, another fifteen years had passed. This was the twenty-second year since Wang Lin's third divine sense split!
Counting the time before, it had been 90 years since Wang Lin had entered the ancestral temple!
90 years of time was enough to change a lot of things. It could change the life of a mortal or the ascension of a new emperor. The Ancient Shi Emperor had retreated behind the scenes, and the one to step forward was Ji Du.
Although the ascension ceremony hadn't begun yet, Ji Du was in charge of almost all the matters of the Ancient Shi. He hadn't worn the crown yet, but he was already wearing the royal robe.
However, even so, Ji Du's habit of looking at the ancestral shrine every morning hadn't changed. He firmly believed that his godfather would succeed!
Inside the ancestral shrine, the huge origin soul outside Wang Lin's body had shattered into countless fragments. It was undergoing its final shattering.
This time, Wang Lin had learned his lesson. He left a sliver of his divine sense in the body. This sliver of divine sense could be used to awaken it at a critical moment.
The pain of his origin soul splitting for decades was something that countless people couldn't bear, but Wang Lin endured it. He was even a bit numb to this pain.
When the 95th year arrived and the entire Ancient Shi began to prepare for the ascension ceremony in five years, Wang Lin's origin soul finally turned to dust.
He began to try to fuse!
Due to the accident during the second soul split, Wang Lin was very cautious during this fusion. He didn't try to fuse the origin soul completely at once and instead chose to fuse it part by part until it was perfect.
He also had an even deeper idea. In order to achieve this idea, it had to be done during the fusion.
Time passed year by year. On the 96th year, Wang Lin had completed nearly 30% of his origin soul. The completed origin soul was not large and was actually very small, only the size of a palm.
However, just this 30% was enough for the origin soul to be several times stronger than during the second soul split. Once it was completely condensed, the complete origin soul might really bring Wang Lin to his peak.
On the 97th year, Wang Lin's origin soul was 50% condensed and became a lot stronger.
There were only three years left until 100 years, so there were more than 1,000 days and nights.
The Ancient Shi imperial city had been extremely lively these past few years. Before the grand ceremony, almost all the experts of the Ancient Shi rushed back to the imperial city to witness the biggest event for the Ancient Shi!
The change of imperial power caused the entire Ancient Shi to move. However, Ji Du, who was about to ascend the throne, quieted down on the 97th year. He went to the ancestral temple alone and sat down to cultivate.
He gave up everything in order to accompany his godfather during the first three years of his ascension.
As the days passed, more and more people returned from the Ancient Shi imperial city. Even the envoys of the other two clans were on their way.
Almost every day, many people came to the Ancient Shi imperial city. However, compared to the bustling imperial city, the area 10,000 feet away from the ancestral temple was extremely quiet. This place had been turned into a restricted area a long time ago, and no one was allowed to enter. There were also countless guards from the imperial palace guarding it.
In this silence, listening to the bustling outside, Ji Du closed his eyes and sat silently.
"Godfather, there are still three more years before I can become the Ancient Shi emperor …" Ji Du sat here as the 98th year arrived, the 99th year arrived, and the 100th year silently passed.
On this day, after an entire 100 years, everyone's gazes gathered on the Ancient Ancestor statue once more. However, this time, they weren't looking at the halo around the statue, they were looking at their emperor who was there!
The entire Imperial City was silent at this moment. In the Imperial Palace, there were countless clansmen present. They were all waiting for the new Emperor to appear. In the public square, there were many people standing densely.
The envoys of the other two clans had come with generous gifts. The people leading them were also members of the royal family and had high status. They were also waiting on the square.
At the center of the square was a giant furnace.
There was soft soil inside the furnace, and there was a giant incense stick on top. It wasn't lit, and the only one qualified to light this incense stick was Ji Du!
This was the Imperial Power Incense Stick. Once the incense stick was lit, it could turn into wind and clouds and condense into a Heaven Shaking Drum. Only Ji Du could beat this drum. When the drum was beaten nine times, Ji Du would receive a bow from all the Ancient Shi members.
Everyone here was waiting, including the old Ancient Shi emperor. He was also waiting.
There were several people standing beside the emperor. One of them hesitated and softly said, "The auspicious time is coming … Your Majesty, this …"
"Wait!
My Ancient Shi doesn't have any auspicious times. The moment Ji Du arrives is the auspicious time! "the emperor, who was about to step down, said in a hoarse voice.
The old man who spoke before respectfully nodded.
Outside the ancestral temple, Ji Du sat there with his eyes closed. He didn't seem to care that today would be the biggest day of his life. Not long after, light footsteps came from behind him. A pair of guards in black armor walked over and slowed down.
The guards knelt on one knee. The person in front was a middle-aged man. He lowered his head and softly said, "Your Majesty, time is up …"
Ji Du didn't speak and didn't move.
The guards kneeling behind him also silently pondered.
After 15 minutes, Ji Du let out a sigh. He opened his eyes and looked at the ancestral temple. He silently got up, knelt down on one knee, and kowtowed three times.
"Godfather … This child is going."
Ji Du raised his head and looked at the ancestral temple once more before turning around and walking away. The guards got up and followed behind him as the group gradually left.
When they left, there was a small shadow floating around Wang Lin's body. This shadow was no longer the size of a palm. It was the same size as his body before the soul split.
Rays of light shot out in all directions. The silhouette was very complete, as if it had completely fused together. However, the eyes of the silhouette's origin soul were closed.
As early as a year ago, Wang Lin could have completed the fusion. The fusion this time was very smooth without any accidents, but Wang Lin didn't choose to end it a year ago. He still kept a trace of the flaw, and he was immersed in it as if he was sleeping.
He wanted to enter the blurry world from the second soul split. He wanted to see the mountain where the seven-colored snowflakes fell. He wanted to see that figure. He wanted to hear the complete words of that figure.
However, even he didn't know how he entered that blurry world. He didn't even know what that place was. After a year of trying and thinking, on this day, when Ji Du took his people away, Wang Lin's mind became blurry. He vaguely saw the world he had seen before.
