Chapter 1000 360: Ancient Times

This name is not unfamiliar.

For the people of the Eastern Continent, it might be even more familiar.

Whether it's Pangu or Donghuang Taiyi, they both have their own dramatic page in legends and mythology.

Collecting his thoughts, Han Zhan combed through the existing information in his mind.

The little boy let them sit at the Bronze Long Table, actually to start the "Old Dreams."

The so-called "Old Dreams" is actually a realm connected to the ancient Dream Realm.

The Ancient Times was the first cosmic epoch, which has already been swallowed by the River of Eternal Darkness, so everything they see now is likely just a remnant.

Donghuang Taiyi stayed here to wait for someone destined?

Han Zhan thought about the "opportunity" the little boy mentioned, and instinctively looked around.

The shadows of those massive devices pointing to the sky made his heart skip a beat.

Could it be...

"You dare to think."

"However, it's not entirely impossible."

Donghuang Taiyi seemed to have guessed Han Zhan's thoughts and chuckled softly.

"As you can see, there are ten Divine Soldiers in the land of Ancient Times."

"They each evolve into different forms, each powerful, each mystical."

"To truly possess them, you must gain their approval; only after gaining approval can you fully resonate."

"However, once you choose to resonate with them, you must walk the path against the River of Eternal Darkness, with no way back."

Pangu opened the heavens and earth, separating chaos into clarity.

The Ancient Times were thus formed, nurturing Divine Soldiers.

What the Divine Soldiers inherit, naturally carries the same will.

"The River of Eternal Darkness seeks to devour the cosmic epoch, returning heaven and earth to chaos. The holders of the ancient Divine Soldiers must inherit the will to prevent this from happening."

"This is the meaning of the existence of ancient Divine Soldiers."

After listening to Donghuang Taiyi's words, Han Zhan and Nuannuan both showed a solemn look in their eyes.

Shock was one aspect, the weighty pressure from such great secrets was another.

"The Divine Soldier that resonates with you should be the bell, right?" Han Zhan pondered for a while and asked.

Donghuang Taiyi nodded lightly.

"Indeed, I resonate with it, and with its help, I understood the Creation Boundary Life and Death Dao, trying to suppress the cosmos, but ultimately could not defeat the River of Eternal Darkness, perishing and extinguishing."

Regarding the past, Donghuang Taiyi seemed unwilling to elaborate.

He waved his hand and said:

"About events that happened in the cosmic epoch, they are all recorded on the [Cosmic Stone Tablet]. Whatever secrets you want to know, they are all there."

"The duration of Old Dreams is limited; since you have come here, you should decide quickly whether to try to find an ancient Divine Soldier that resonates with you."

Donghuang Taiyi's tone was calm, but Han Zhan could still hear the urge in it.

The Bronze Candle will eventually burn out, and that should be the moment to wake from Old Dreams.

They indeed didn't have much time.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan's gaze became serious again; he nodded:

"If the River of Eternal Darkness truly aims to destroy the cosmic epoch, returning heaven and earth to chaos, then each of us has an unavoidable responsibility to stop it."

"I am willing to inherit this will."

After Han Zhan finished speaking, his gaze swept over each ancient Divine Soldier, attempting to establish a connection with them.

Seeing his choice, Nuannuan hesitated only for a moment, then made the same decision as Han Zhan.

It was at this time that Han Zhan seemed to feel something and looked up.

He felt a kind of "calling."

This was something he had felt once before at the entrance of the Ancient Ruins, a familiar calling!

Without hesitation, Han Zhan followed his heart and quickened his steps in a certain direction.

Seeing this scene, Donghuang Taiyi couldn't help but utter a gentle sound.

"That place seems to be..."

"The Pangu Axe!"

Han Zhan didn't know where he was heading.

At this moment, he had his eyes tightly closed, like a puppet with strings, walking step by step forward.

At the end of this path was a giant axe.

The axe handle stood long on the ground, made of ancient divine wood, naturally engraved with equally ancient runes.

The axe body was massive and solid, molded from Chaos Energy at the beginning of heaven and earth, with material neither metal nor stone, shimmering with a profound dark light, as if containing the supreme dao.

The sharp axe edge was unparalleled, its border like the boundary between heaven and earth, making people unable to gaze directly at its edge.

This is the ancient Divine Soldier, the Pangu Axe!

The Pangu Axe was not only the earliest nurtured Divine Soldier, but also the weapon resonating with Pangu.

After Pangu split heaven and earth and exhausted himself to death, it never had another master.

Could it be...

Just as Donghuang Taiyi thought of this, Han Zhan had already come to the Pangu Axe, raising his right hand towards it.

Opening, reaching out, gripping tightly.

The moment Han Zhan's hand touched the Pangu Axe, the entire ground suddenly began to tremble violently.

This piece of Old Dreams belonging to Ancient Times seemed almost unable to hold up, collapsing down.

Seeing this, a burst of light suddenly exploded in Donghuang Taiyi's eyes.

"Such resonance, it's nearly at the level of complete resonance."

"If you can truly resonate completely, retracing the Pangu Dao, then you can reopen heaven and earth!"

This is an excellent opportunity.

Thinking of this, Donghuang Taiyi raised his hand with a gesture, and the Donghuang Bell flew in from afar, transforming into a spinning Xiao Zhong shape.

He pinched a spell with his left hand, and a golden light entered the bell's interior, only to hear the "dang" of the bell ringing.

The golden transparent bell shadow expanded, holding up this soon-to-collapse old dream realm.

Not only Han Zhan.

At this moment, Nuannuan also stepped in front of that huge ancient mirror, reaching out to press her hand against the mirror surface.

In the next second, the mirror surface rippled out from her palm.

"Eh?"

"There are actually two people who can resonate with Divine Soldiers!"

No matter how calm, Donghuang Taiyi's tone was also filled with surprise.

Suddenly, a third aura was released, shooting into the sky.

That was the direction of the tower.

There's a third one!

There's a third person resonating with Divine Soldiers!

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi could no longer restrain his joy, increasing the power in stretching the Donghuang Bell shadow, encompassing the dream realm.

...

"Han Zhan hasn't woken up yet."

"Besides him, there's also Jiang Lingling, and the president of the Hidden Cultivation Association, Nuannuan, they haven't woken up either."

"Their energies are all quite stable, they should be receiving inheritances, each one taking different amounts of time."

"That little boy disappeared, yet this Bronze Long Table is still here; should we take it back? I seem to feel its existence connects with my destiny."

"And with this stone tablet, what's recorded on it should be the secrets and truths we seek; we also need to bring it back to the City of Dawn for thorough research."

The Salvation Society and other powerful factions awakened from Old Dreams once more, discussing their opportunities and discoveries.

Adam stored the Bronze Long Table in a golden case he obtained from Old Dreams.

Yax held onto the stone tablet recording all the secrets.

This exploration journey to the Ancient Ruins, everyone returned loaded with gains.
