CHAPTER 749: 181, DEPARTURE

"The Master of the Ancient World and the Master of Yanfu are opposed? The Master from the Other Shore is neutral?"

Lin Yue nodded thoughtfully.

If that was the case, he, who hailed from the Other Shore as part of the Ancient Human Clan, might indeed have a chance to be favored by the Master of Yanfu.

The premise was that he could meet the Master of Yanfu.

"Also, I discovered from Xiahou Shou’s memories that after becoming a god in the Ancient World, which is to say transcending Heaven and Earth, it seemed one might face a certain choice."

Lin Yue pondered and said, "Although Xiahou Shou knew about this, the god of the Ancient World had not made it clear, but it should be possible to leave the Ancient World. I’m not sure where they would go."

"Leave?" The Second Prince said, "The Star Lord comes from the Ancient World, could this be the choice he faced?"

Lin Yue pondered briefly and replied, "The last time Xiahou Shou entered the Ancient World, when he opened it, some souls took the opportunity to escape. I suspect one of them was the Star Lord."

"When you meet him, you can ask him," the Second Prince shook his head slightly and then asked, "Why did the Demon Clan suddenly become so powerful over a thousand years ago?"

Lin Yue sighed and stated, "Speaking of which, the reason is actually quite simple."

He held up a finger, "First, it’s about the Divine Artifacts. Xiahou Shou obtained Divine Artifacts left by the Twelve Ancient Divine Beasts in the Ancient World. These Twelve Ancient Divine Beasts are probably the origins of the Eternal Night Strange Beasts."

"The origin?" The Second Prince slightly furrowed his brow.

"Yes."

Lin Yue nodded, "The strange beasts of Eternal Night contain the bloodline of the Ancient Divine Beasts. There were twelve types of Divine Beasts altogether, so coincidentally there are twelve ancestors of the Demon Clan. From Xiahou Shou’s memories, it appears that the Twelve Ancient Divine Beasts of the Ancient World are the source of these Divine Beasts."

"This is probably no coincidence..." the Second Prince murmured softly.

"The Demon Clan doesn’t think it’s a coincidence either. Perhaps the emergence of the mutant beasts is related to the Ancient."

Lin Yue continued, "The twelve ancestors of the Demon Clan are transformed from the bloodlines of these twelve Divine Beasts. The paths they prove align with the bloodlines, perfectly enabling them to use the Divine Artifacts of the Twelve Ancient Divine Beasts. Among them, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor obtained a drop of Heavenly Craft Creation Dew that Xiahou Shou brought out, which was used to forge his Lifebound Sovereign Artifact, while the Artifact belonging to the bloodline of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor was given to the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Demon Clan."

"Twelve ancestors, twelve Artifacts..."

The Second Prince pondered for a moment and then asked, "Why did it also suddenly become easy for the twelve ancestors to refine Divine Power?"

Lin Yue explained, "Because they all successfully established the Ancient Covenant, becoming Divine Favored under the Ancient Master. Furthermore, with the spirit of the twelve Ancient Divine Beasts remaining in the Divine Artifacts, and the recognition of the will of the Ancient Master who once nurtured the twelve Ancient Divine Beasts, the will left in the Divine Power was also much more favorable towards the Demon Clan."

He shook his head, "Actually, not just the twelve ancestors, but a few Demon Gods also successfully established the Ancient Covenant, and refining Divine Power has also become much easier for them."

The Second Prince remained silent.

Indeed.

The Divine Emperor was also a Divine Master; with his methods, he easily created the Xiahou Ascendants, allowing the princes and princesses to refine Divine Power at the outset before proving and transcending.

Once they proved and transcended, given enough time, they could also condense the essence of the Divine Heart.

Like the Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, and the Second Princess - they had all proved and transcended for just a few hundred years, yet they had mastered some essence of the Divine Heart, and given more time, condensing the Divine Heart would also be normal.

After all, refining Divine Power, besides depending on the realm, depended on whether the will of the Ancient Divine within the Divine Power was willing.

Some might naturally be favored and loved by the Divine, inherently fitting well with Divine Power, so refining Divine Power for them would yield twice the result with half the effort.

"The key lies with the Ancient Master."

Lin Yue sighed, "Although Xiahou Shou didn’t get to meet the Ancient Master, just the Treasures left by the Ancient Master enabled the Demon Clan to undergo such earth-shattering changes. We can hardly imagine how powerful the Ancient Master himself was."

The Divine Emperor is suspected to have been seriously injured by the Ancient Master.

But as far as he knew, the beings from the Ancient World, Yanfu, and the Other Shore couldn’t come to Eternal Night.

If they wanted to come, they probably could only do so through reincarnation.

And how the Ancient Master managed to seriously injure the Divine Emperor when he killed Xiahou Shou, he didn’t know.

This was also why he dared not go to the Ancient World.

"The whereabouts of the Ancient Key are unknown."

The Second Prince looked at Lin Yue, "However, if it’s you, you might be able to find the Ancient Key. So, before you leave, it’s best to meet the Star Lord and ask him directly."

Lin Yue nodded.

"When are you planning to leave?" the Second Prince asked.

"I need to try and perfect the Inner Heaven and Earth Cultivation Method first. At the latest, I must set out in half a year."

Lin Yue shook his head, "During this period, I can also spend some time with my family."

His time was running out, and the more he wasted, the smaller his chances in Yanfu World, so he couldn’t afford to waste time.

If it weren’t for Tianxia Building’s Heavenly Dao Heart in Great Yong to help deduce the Cultivation Method and save him a lot of time, he would have planned to go to Yanfu World earlier.

"Half a year..."

The Second Prince nodded slightly, "If you go to Yanfu World and the rules of the two worlds are different, you can’t harmonize there. You can only reconstruct your Divine Soul there and then come out to harmonize."

"I understand," Lin Yue nodded, then frowned, "I just don’t know if the Innate Divine Power will work."

"Most likely it will," the Second Prince replied, "The method of Proving and Transcending allows transit between different worlds. Since Innate Divine Power essentially originates from the Ancient Divine, it should still work even in another world, though it may be suppressed."
