Chapter 1490 Ancestor Su (1)

“Consider it an order,” said Su Ping helplessly.

Being their junior, he found it unbearable to be called “Human Ancestor,” a supreme title.

“As you wish, Human Ancestor.”

All the emperors nodded, but still exchanged looks and hesitated. Su Ping was indeed young, just a toddler compared to them, but his strength was extraordinary. In any clan, the strong were always the most respected.

After becoming an Ancestral God, Su Ping was bound to see views others could not.

It had only taken him a thousand years to reach and surpass their attainments of hundreds of thousands of years. Their old age was nothing to be proud of; after all, too many people had lived ten thousand years in the same way, just repeated ten thousand times.

Age was never something to be respected.

The things gained because of age were the source for respect.

“Ancestor Su, I heard you were surrounded by the Rain Clan and nearly killed. It was too late when we received the report; we were too useless and almost allowed for something to happen.”

Emperor Xin spoke with guilt.

The other emperors lowered their heads with troubled feelings.

Su Ping’s breakthrough made them realize what humanity could have lost. He was the dawn they had been waiting for too long. “Can you not call me ancestor?” said Su Ping with a bitter smile.

“Ancestor Su, forgive us for disobeying, but you should accept this. All Ancestral Gods are called this way. We cannot break the rules. Besides, you’re the first Ancestral God in the history of humankind. We can’t show you enough respect,” said Emperor Xin in a hurry.

He didn’t regard Su Ping as a young genius who wasn’t even a God Warrior, but as a real, supreme Ancestral God.

Su Ping stopped bothering about the title. He said, “Now that I’m an Ancestral God, I should establish a new world for all humans. From today onward, humans will no longer be anyones’ vassal race. We’ll become a high-ranked clan standing above the other clans. We will live as long as the world exists!”

Emperor Xin and the others trembled after such a statement, with faces already covered in tears when they raised their heads. They had long waited for those words.

Humans were weak, having paid dearly to rise to that height. The humiliating deaths of their geniuses; the enslavement of so many humans. There was too much darkness, too hurtful to remember. However, it had happened, and was remembered by those living fossils.

“Thank you, Ancestor Su!”

“Ancestor Su, you’ve made the greatest contribution!”

The emperors shook as they spoke.

“I’ve only done my part as a human should,” said Su Ping, “However, I’ll often be away. You’ll have to take care of our clan after the new world is established.”

Emperor Xin and the others had heard something about Su Ping’s background. They heard that Su Ping was a ferocious beast’s child, and that he didn’t have much of a human’s bloodline.

Su Ping’s admission to being a human was delightful nonetheless.

He had revealed the body of a mythical creature when he fought the Heavenly Tribulation. It wasn’t easy for him to acknowledge his human identity.

“We’ll certainly do that. Don’t worry, Ancestor Su,” said Emperor Xin in a hurry.

Su Ping nodded.

After that, Su Ping took the human emperors to see the elders of the Heaven Path Institute. He saw Yan Qing and the others, then chuckled and said, “Elders, it’s been a long time.”

“It’s an honor to meet you, Human Ancestor!” The white-robed old man at the centerseeing Emperor Xin and the othersunderstood everything and immediately bowed to pay respects.

Elder Yan and the others were also excited as they lowered their heads to greet him.

Su Ping felt rather helpless. It seemed that he couldn’t get rid of that title as long as he acknowledged his human identity. He said, “No need to be polite, elders. I wouldn’t be what I am today without the Heaven Path Institute’s help. If you’d like, I’m willing to become the fourth Ancestral God of our institute. I’ll lend a hand if the institute is in trouble!”

The leading elder was excited by the offer. He said, “Thank you, Human Ancestor. You didn’t cultivate for long in the institute and we didn’t help you much. Even so, you still remember the little things we did. I’m truly touched!”

“You’re too kind, elder. I wouldn’t have walked this far and this fast without the institute’s help. I wouldn’t dare forget your favor,” said Su Ping.

With Su Ping as the institute’s fourth Ancestral God, the Heaven Path Institute would become even more threatening than before.

“Human Ancestor, are you going to establish a new territory for all humans? If you want, you can create one on the continent near our institute, that way we can take care of it,” said the Chief Elder.

Our

Emperor Xin and the others had glittering eyes.

“Okay.” Su Ping nodded. Such a proposal would spare him some worries while being away in other cultivation sites.

Led by the Chief Elder, they went to the Heaven Path Institute.

The journey was fast. Elder Yan Qing and the others were only taking peeks at Su Ping in silence, clearly delighted. They kept sizing him up, as if never having seen such an Ancestral God.

Su Ping could sense their thrill. He smiled at them, and took the initiative to talk about things in the institute, as he noticed how scared they were to say a peep.

He set Emperor Xin and the others down, then he spread his senses and explored the continent around him.
