Chapter 1824 - 17: Lord of the Gods

Seeing the Destruction Ancestor approach, Lin Feng almost didn’t restrain himself from rushing up to give the Destruction Ancestor a big bear hug.

His timing was perfect.

Just moments before.

He almost believed he would be swallowed by the endless darkness.

...

"A cemetery for burying the Immortal Ancient powerhouses, also burying a piece of history, a fragment of memory!"

The Destruction Ancestor stepped forward, "You shouldn’t have ventured inside, this place will bury your life! Years ago, you had a senior brother who accidentally entered this place and died inside!"

Master Turtle had taken on several disciples before Lin Feng, but all perished.

Lin Feng heard from the Reincarnation Immortal Sect disciples that Master Turtle’s disciples died miserably, seemingly due to cultivating the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill.

He once asked Master Turtle about those senior brothers.

But Master Turtle didn’t tell him.

Now hearing the Destruction Ancestor mention the demise of the senior brother who fell here, Lin Feng was moved and asked, "Senior, I once heard that my senior brothers all died due to cultivating the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill. But now, hearing you say one of my senior brothers died from venturing into the Immortal Ancient Cemetery, does this mean my senior brothers didn’t all die from the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill?"

"The one who died here was named Xu Shaoyuan, truly a remarkable talent, yet he ultimately fell in front of this tomb. Old Turtle mourned his death for a long time, then didn’t take on disciples for years until he took you as a disciple!"

The Destruction Ancestor’s eyes flickered with an undulating light, "As for your other senior brothers, they too didn’t fall because of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill. With their talents, completing the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill would pose challenges, but they would surely overcome them!"

"Thus, as long as you cultivate well, you too can master the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill."

...

Lin Feng said, "It seems my senior brothers must have been very powerful back then!"

The Destruction Ancestor said: "Your senior brothers were not less talented than you; like you, they all possess the Innate Holy Blood! Moreover, they’ve been cultivating for thousands of years, naturally making them extremely powerful."

The "Innate Holy Blood" mentioned by the Destruction Ancestor probably refers to the "Dominator Emperor Blood" within himself.

Because the ancestors of the Dominator Emperor Clan were Primordial Life birthed in the era with Pangu, Nuwa, and others.

His senior brothers possessing such a powerful bloodline was something Lin Feng hadn’t anticipated.

"How did my senior brothers die?" Lin Feng asked.

"I only know how Xu Shaoyuan fell; for the others, I am unclear. However, since Old Turtle didn’t tell you, he must have his reasons; when it’s the right time, Old Turtle will surely tell you!"

The Destruction Ancestor said.

"Why is there a Dominator from the Exotic Realm buried within this Immortal Ancient Cemetery?" Lin Feng voiced his confusion.

"This matter has become a mystery; future generations can only speculate, unable to seek the truth!" The Destruction Ancestor replied.

"Who built this Immortal Ancient Cemetery?" Lin Feng asked.

"It is already unknowable!" The Destruction Ancestor answered.

"Why is the main tombstone devoid of inscriptions?" Lin Feng continued asking.

"Because the being buried inside is too dreadful, even the Heavenly Dao fears him! Therefore, after his death, a name cannot be left; otherwise, his tomb would be sensed by the Heavenly Dao and then destroyed!"

The Destruction Ancestor explained.

Lin Feng felt a shock in his heart.

How exceptionally powerful could he be?

To evoke fear in the Heavenly Dao?

"What was he called?" Lin Feng asked.

"In the Immortal Ancient Era, he was known as the Lord of the Gods! It is said he was the first to break the shackles of Heaven and Earth and become an immortal!"

"It’s said, he redefined the realm of immortality beyond the Emperor Realm."

"It’s said, he categorized the powers of Primordial Life into the realm of immortals!"

"It’s said, he personally gathered data and wrote the Classic of Mountains and Seas, allowing later generations to know about Pangu, Nuwa, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and other entities. However, through various calamities, much of what was recorded within the Classic of Mountains and Seas was lost, so the Classic of Mountains and Seas handed down today is far removed from the one of the Immortal Ancient Era, with many stories, true or false, sometimes hard to distinguish."

...

"The Lord of the Gods ushered in a new era, a new epoch. He showed countless cultivators a new beginning, new heights, new hope."

...

"So, later in the Three Upper Realms! The Three Thousand Great Worlds, countless lives, revered him as the Supreme Leader!"

...

Lin Feng’s heart was filled with turbulent waves.

He didn’t expect the person buried in this ancient tomb.

To be so extraordinary.

Truly astonishing, moving, hard to believe.

This is a figure who bridges past and present, creating a new era.

If it weren’t for him breaking the shackles of Heaven and Earth, reaching a new realm, establishing the Immortal Realm Cultivation System.

Perhaps, the world would have thought the Great Emperor was the end.

If it weren’t for him writing the mythical book Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Pangu, Nuwa, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and other great figures.

Perhaps they would remain unknown.

...

But.

Even such a powerful being.

Still died.

"Isn’t an immortal supposed to be eternally alive?" Lin Feng asked.

The Destruction Ancestor replied, "Eternal life does not equate to being undying!"

Lin Feng fell silent.

He could understand the meaning behind the Destruction Ancestor’s words.

Eternal life is not the same as being undying.

If everything proceeds smoothly, perhaps one can continue living.

But if one is killed?

Still capable of dying.

...

"What is the origin of this Lord of the Gods?" Lin Feng asked.

The Destruction Ancestor gave Lin Feng a meaningful look, saying, "It’s said, he is a descendant of an extremely ancient race. At its most prosperous, this lineage had only four to five clan members. It’s rumored that, back then, his ancestors awakened the slumbering Pangu, and even the emergence of All Living Beings was at his ancestor’s suggestion to Nuwa, leading Nuwa to personally create All Living Beings."

"This lineage is truly formidable!"

Lin Feng was astonished.

Then asked, "Does this lineage still have descendants now?"

"I originally thought this lineage had ended! Only later did I discover this lineage still has descendants alive in the world!"

The Destruction Ancestor remarked with emotion.

Lin Feng was startled; such a powerful race still has descendants; truly unbelievable.

"Where are these descendants located? They must be dazzling throughout the ages?" Lin Feng asked.

"Perhaps somewhere in this Heaven and Earth? Possibly chatting with some old coot, just like you and I having a casual conversation." The Destruction Ancestor squinted and said.

After a brief pause, he continued, "Currently, he is far from reaching a dazzling height throughout the ages because his bloodline has yet to truly awaken."

"It’s said, he needs to return to his lineage’s Ancestral Land and undergo a baptism to awaken the memories within his bloodline, allowing him to manifest some extraordinary abilities. Yet, perhaps he has the opportunity in the future, or he may never have the chance to awaken the slumbering bloodline!"
