Serpent Ancestor

In this golden age, countless prodigies emerged, dominating the other six stars and elevating the Divine Continent Star’s fortune to its peak.

But it was also the last peak!

Xu Hei understood that each of the five ascending cultivators would take away a significant amount of Spiritual Qi with them. They relied on the Divine Continent Star for cultivation, gathering the fortune of one star, yet did not fall on the Divine Continent Star.

As a result, the inability to recycle Spiritual Qi would lead to its gradual thinning on the Divine Continent Star, weakening its fortune.

This is the cruel yet fair nature of the laws of heaven.

”Everyone, one day we will leave the Divine Continent Star and ascend to the Spirit Realm. How should the people of the Divine Continent Star conduct themselves then?”

A gentle voice appeared above the clouds.

In Xu Hei’s consciousness, five illusory figures appeared in the sky, their faces indistinct, yet their aura fluctuations were palpable.

These were the five Superior Immortals of the Divine Continent Star!

The one who spoke exuded a strong life force, likely the Green Emperor!”The Dao of Heaven is merciless. Before we leave, why not plunder the other six stars, drain their value, and naturally have no worries afterward.”

A demonic voice appeared, like a devil from hell murmuring.

Undoubtedly, this was the Heavenly Demon Scattered Person.

”Remember, every cause has an effect! If you sow such evil, you will surely suffer retribution in the future!”

The speaker was an old Taoist figure, holding a whisk, with a Bagua Yin-Yang diagram on his forehead.

This was Tian Jizi.

”Tian Jizi, you’ve lived so long and still naively believe in the distinction between good and evil. Truly, you’ve lived in vain!” the Heavenly Demon Scattered Person retorted.

”Heh! You can try it. I won’t stop you. When the six stars join forces to hunt you down, don’t come begging me for help,” Tian Jizi sneered.

”Old fool, when have I ever sought your help? Shameless!” the Heavenly Demon Scattered Person cursed angrily.

”Enough! I’m not here to listen to your bickering!” The White Emperor waved his sleeve, his voice gentle yet immensely intimidating, silencing the two immediately.

Undoubtedly, the White Emperor was also an incredibly formidable presence among the ascending cultivators.

”This gathering was called by Daoist Mo. Let’s see what insights he has,” the White Emperor looked at Mo Ban, and everyone else followed suit.

Mo Ban opened his eyes, which were mechanized and devoid of emotion.

”Listen carefully, everyone. If we want the Divine Continent Star to prosper indefinitely, this is the only way, the optimal solution after countless calculations!”

”......”

The secret discussion of the five Superior Immortals was somehow preserved, transformed into an image, and witnessed by Xu Hei in its entirety.

This secret meeting was a pivotal moment that changed the history of the Divine Continent Star.

The seven stars aligned, with the closest to the Divine Continent Star being the Sea Star, the last cultivation star to leave the Divine Continent Star’s teleportation range.

Their target was set on the Sea Star!

More precisely, on the strongest being of the Sea Star, the Azure Sea Dragon King!

The five Superior Immortals promised to give the Azure Sea Dragon King a chance to break through the Divine Transformation Stage and reach the Ascension Realm! The purpose was simple: to ascend with them, preventing any threat to the Divine Continent Star after their departure.

Naturally, the Azure Sea Dragon King agreed, and to show sincerity, the breakthrough ceremony was held on the Sea Star.

How it was accomplished, Xu Hei did not know for the time being; he only witnessed the process fleetingly.

That process lasted two hundred years. The Azure Sea Dragon King exhausted the fortune of the Sea Star, drained its Spiritual Qi, and sacrificed countless clansmen. With the help of the five Superior Immortals, he finally took that step, reaching a realm that mortal cultivators dreamed of.

Beyond Divine Transformation!

—The Void Shattering Stage!

”No wonder the Azure Sea Dragon King never died; he wasn’t in the Divine Transformation Stage but the Void Shattering Stage!”

Xu Hei didn’t know the lifespan of the Void Shattering Stage, but it certainly exceeded 350,000 years; otherwise, he couldn’t have lived until now.

The so-called Void Shattering Stage means breaking through the void, escaping the gravitational pull of the cultivation star, able to roam the great void and ascend to the Spirit Realm.

This is truly a peerless power!

As for how the Azure Sea Dragon King broke through, Xu Hei did not know for the time being; he only witnessed the entire process fleetingly.

But then, the Azure Sea Dragon King’s nightmare began.

After visiting the Divine Continent Star, he was brutally sealed by the five Superior Immortals and suppressed beneath the East Sea, with a grand sacrificial formation inscribed on him by the five.

The so-called grand sacrificial formation, as the name suggests, was to sacrifice this dragon, offering it to the heavens.

To slowly sacrifice the Azure Sea Dragon King’s fortune, Spiritual Qi, and the power of laws, leaving everything on the Divine Continent Star to maintain its prosperous state.

This was the meticulous plan of the five Superior Immortals!

”Boom!!”

Xu Hei felt a roar in his mind, as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have, his head splitting with pain, his pupils filled with blood, veins bulging.

So, this is what the erased history of ancient times was like!

No wonder it was erased, so unsightly, yet this is the law of heaven: if you don’t die, I must die!

The weight of this cause and effect was too heavy. Xu Hei struggled to digest this terrifying memory.

After that, the Sea Star and the Divine Continent Star went to war.

But at that time, all the cultivation stars had left, only the closest Sea Star and Divine Continent Star were still in contact. One-on-one, the Sea Star was no match, easily crushed, countless Demon Clan members captured as slaves, countless resources plundered.

What the Merman Clan leader Gong Jiang said was all true!

Another fifty years passed, and the Sea Star drifted far away, finally escaping the Divine Continent Star’s teleportation range.

And many of the Demon Clan in the East Sea were slaves captured back then, possessing the bloodline of the Sea Star’s ancestor, the Water God, which is why they were summoned.

”No, wait!” Xu Hei suddenly realized a problem and said, ”Why did all five super sects decline, yet only the Divine Puppet Sect remains standing?”

”That was a small trick by Mo Ban. The plan was proposed by him, and he presided over the grand sacrificial formation. He transferred most of the Azure Sea Dragon King’s fortune into the Divine Puppet Sect and erased this segment of history, leaving it unknown.”

Mo Wuyou’s voice appeared, carrying a hint of scornful cold laughter.

”Unfortunately, this segment of history was still preserved by someone, which is also why they want to hunt me down!” Mo Wuyou laughed.

Xu Hei took a deep breath, and after a long time, he finally calmed down.

”What happened to the five Superior Immortals afterward?” Xu Hei asked.

”Afterward, I don’t know. Some ascended, some were seriously injured, some were betrayed by everyone...” Mo Wuyou’s voice grew smaller and smaller.

Xu Hei’s vision also became more and more blurred, darker and darker.

The memory light cluster disappeared, and his consciousness was about to return to reality.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

When Xu Hei opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the ruins of Wuyou City, with an empty stone tablet in front of him, Mo Wuyou’s aura completely vanished, no longer existing in the world.

As if his existence was solely to preserve this segment of memory.

The erased memory.
