Of course, over the past tens of thousands of years, Cao Ya has occasionally been restless and would venture out into the world.

Judging from the powerful figures he encountered during his travels, this body's previous life might have also been that of a master from the Nine Provinces. After death, he fell into the world of death, where his bones nurtured a spirit, making him potentially resurrected.

However, with Cao Ya's transmigration, this body became his physical form.

"I remember now, when the Nine Provinces were defeated by the other world and retreated to the Death Realm, the White Bone Ancestor Suiren reappeared and forged the Ancestor Warship, providing the people of the Divine Village with a powerful ancestral divine weapon..."

"So, Suirenshi has already forged the Ancestral Warship, leaving a trump card for the Divine Village, and is about to leave the outer and central regions of the World of Death to enter the deepest part to assist the Martial Ancestor in realizing that earth-shattering grand plan?!"

Cao Ya pondered silently, having grasped the current timeline.

When he first sensed the aura of Suirenshi, because Suirenshi was reborn from the ashes and ascended to the Ancestral God Realm again in a skeletal body, the aura of Suirenshi underwent a significant change.

As a result, Cao Ya was unable to discover the true identity of the White Bone Ancestor Lord before, and in fear, chose to play dead to avoid disaster.

Now that Suirenshi has exposed him, he is not ashamed at all.

Being afraid of death isn't shameful!

"Your strength has indeed improved significantly." Suirenshi looked Cao Ya over and nodded.

"However, your tendency to play dead has remained unchanged for tens of thousands of years."

Suirenshi's voice carried a hint of a smile.

"Who told you to show up with such a terrifying aura? No matter how much I cultivate, I can't beat you!" Cao Ya thought to himself.

“The path you’ve taken is somewhat similar to mine, but…” Suirenshi carefully sensed it for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Our understanding is still different.”

Cao Ya knew that Suirenshi, in the history of civilization in the Nine Provinces, had invented fire by drilling wood, pioneered the way, and led the rise of civilization in the Nine Provinces. He was a cultural ancestor.

Without a doubt, Suirenshi's path was of the fire element.

Cao Ya's cultivation in the world of death also followed the fire element.

Due to their different experiences, even though they both walked the path of fire, their final performances and insights were quite different.

Of course, in terms of depth, Cao Ya is still inferior to Suiren, the White Bone Ancestor.

As for breadth...

Cao Ya in the past certainly couldn't compare, but now that he has received a lot of support from himself, he can now gain the upper hand in terms of breadth.

"Suirenshi, the ancestor of all people in the Nine Provinces. Although I grew up in a world of death, I still have great respect for Suirenshi, Youchaoshi, and other ancestral gods of the Nine Provinces..."

Cao Yaxin whispered to herself.

This body must belong to a powerful figure from Kyushu who fell into the world of death after his death.

Cao Ya also felt a sense of familiarity with the history of Kyushu.

Like the ancestors of the Nine Provinces, such as Suiren, Youchao, Shennong, Xuanyuan, Nuwa, and Fuxi, they were also cultural ancestors in the world before he traveled through time. In the primitive era, they pioneered and forged ahead, creating the foundation of civilization and laying the foundation for thousands of years of prosperity.

Therefore, how could Cao Ya not respect these ancestors of the people of the Nine Provinces?

For these two reasons, Cao Ya naturally became close to the Kyushu faction, and even because of the origin of this body, he could be considered a master of the Kyushu faction.

On an emotional level, after learning about the history of Kyushu and the Four Directions World, and seeing the appearance of the ancestors of humanity, Cao Ya was also willing to belong to Kyushu.

Of course, Cao Ya was also well aware that there were too many powerful beings in the [Eternal Life Realm] universe, including half-ancestors and ancestral gods.

Therefore, he always kept a low profile, feeling that one should at least have the power of an ancestral god to be qualified to travel far and wide and explore various realms.

As for the Half-Ancestor, he is only qualified to go out for a short period of time. He cannot stay for too long and must return to the desolate wilderness in time to lie dormant again.

He knew Suirenshi and Youchaoshi tens of thousands of years ago when he occasionally went out, met them, talked with them, and became friends.

"I never imagined that we would meet again after we parted ways back then," Cao Ya sighed.

"Thank you for your help in that battle," Suirenshi said solemnly.

"To be honest, I discarded my memories of my past life when I advanced to the level of a half-ancestor. However, if the Nine Provinces are in trouble, I will still help if I can," Cao Ya said honestly after thinking for a moment.

"Thank you very much," said Suirenshi, also deeply moved.

A person as cowardly as Cao Ya was able to stand up and fight against the alien half-ancestor when the Nine Provinces and the Four Directions World were invaded by other worlds tens of thousands of years ago. In the end, he was severely injured by the alien ancestral god and fell back to the world of death, but disappeared for ten thousand years.

For those ten thousand years, Cao Ya was recuperating from his injuries.

That aid to Kyushu was the only time in the past 70,000 to 80,000 years that Cao Ya showed no cowardice or compromise.

But he was only a half-ancestor at that time, so what role could he play?

In the end, the Nine Provinces side was defeated.

The two men spoke with heavy hearts, and in the end, they remained silent.

"Now, this civilization has come to an end. Some of the geniuses have been sent away by the Ancestral Dragon Ship, and others have been taken into the world of death, to the divine villages in the outer regions, which are the settlements of the descendants of Nuwa."

As Suiren spoke, his voice was low and filled with unspeakable sorrow.

"However, in the Nine Provinces and the four worlds, there are so many living beings who can be sent away by the Ancestral Dragon Ship and enter the world of death. It seems like there are many people, a sea of ​​people, a crowded place."

"But when you actually put them into the five worlds, they are pitifully few."

"Too many living beings have been slaughtered by the other world."

"We, the ancestral gods, are utterly useless; we cannot even protect the lives of beings from the five worlds!"

Suirenshi looked up to the sky and roared. Although he did not use the power of his ancestral gods, the grief and sorrow that came from his heart was enough to affect the white-boned creatures in all directions, and they all inexplicably felt the mourning.

Cao Ya remained silent.

He knew that in the present day, the Nine Provinces, whether at the Ancestral God stage or the Half-Ancestor stage, were far inferior to those in the Otherworld.

Even if Kyushu uses all its trump cards, it cannot stop the invasion from another world. Instead, it will expose everything and be wiped out by the other world.

In that case, the Nine Provinces and the surrounding world would truly lose all their means of resistance.

Furthermore, the ancestral gods of the Nine Provinces were not without resistance; they once fought a great battle with the ancestral gods of other realms beyond the heavens, but ultimately they were defeated and forced to retreat.

The war between the two worlds has lasted for many civilizations, and the Kyushu side has always been the loser.

As spendthrifts, the people of Kyushu, and all races, were slaughtered at the end of each civilization's history. Only a few escaped, or some were captured by other worlds and became experimental subjects.

Or to be more precise, the entire Kyushu and the four corners of the world are testing grounds for other worlds.

"One day, we will launch a counterattack against the otherworld and annihilate it! The otherworld must repay the blood debts of countless civilizations!" Cao Ya's killing intent was palpable.
