Hearing what the tooth decayer said, Gu Yu nodded. Indeed, if he could awaken the power of the gods and demons for the fourth time, it would be a great thing for him. With the power of the gods and demons, he would be able to protect himself.
Moreover, the awakening of divine and demonic power inherently requires pressure and life-or-death trials, and there is no place more suitable than the deepest part. Furthermore, Gu Yu also wanted to see the true appearance of the gods and demons, what exactly they looked like—the gods and demons who could destroy the powerful dragon race in an instant and who could make countless strong people tremble.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu tightened his grip on the black knife, then took a step forward and entered the black passage.
"Whether you can awaken a fourth time depends on your fate," Tooth Decay murmured as he watched Gu Yu walk into the passage. "Get stronger as soon as possible! I also want to know what kind of trouble they're up to?"
As Gu Yu stepped into the passage, he immediately felt that the divine and demonic power around him was like violent thunder. It roared, swept, and crashed, as if it would destroy the heavens and the earth.
The divine and demonic powers immediately rushed towards Gu Yu. Gu Yu instantly released his own divine and demonic power to resist, but his divine and demonic power was too weak. In the face of these divine and demonic powers, it was instantly destroyed with overwhelming force.
"Is it that strong?" Gu Yu's expression suddenly changed. Not to mention others, even he, who possessed the bloodline of gods and demons, could not survive in this place.
But the black blade, which had been as still as a deep well, suddenly hummed, and the surrounding divine and demonic power was immediately blocked, no longer sweeping towards Gu Yu.
"What a fine knife! It's a pity it won't listen to me." Gu Yu said indignantly, looking at the black knife in his hand. It was very unpleasant to see such a good thing go to waste.
"Sigh!" Gu Yu sighed. The only way to feel better now was to stop thinking about the problem.
He strode forward. If he were to absorb the divine and demonic power here to stimulate his divine and demonic bloodline, he would most likely explode immediately. Whether it would be in one or two seconds, Gu Yu dared not try.
The power of gods and demons blotted out the sky, and Gu Yu had no idea where he was going. What was even more terrifying was that when he tried to sense it with his primordial spirit perception, his primordial spirit perception was instantly shattered by that power of gods and demons. This was simply unbelievable.
"Heavenly Eye." Gu Yu used his Heavenly Eye, but all he could see was a hazy gray. Although the black blade was blocking his view, his eyes hurt, forcing him to close them immediately.
He's like a headless fly right now. I should have asked the tooth decayer which way to go and which way to go.
Snap……………………
Just then, Gu Yu suddenly felt something under his feet. Was it a stone?
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, then looked down and bent over. As long as it was about ten centimeters away, it was still visible. "A skeleton?"
Gu Yu frowned as he looked at the skull that was less than ten centimeters away from him.
That shouldn't be possible! How could a skeleton be preserved intact under such divine and demonic power? Besides, whose skeleton could it be? It looks like a person's.
Gu Yu muttered to himself, and then touched the skeleton.
Smooth, exceptionally smooth, without any pits or craters from the erosion of divine and demonic power. Gu Yu recalled what the tooth decay had said.
“Xiao Heizi came here. I advised him not to go in, but he wouldn’t listen and never came out again.”
"Little Blackie? These are the remains of the Demon Ancestor?" Gu Yu suddenly thought of the Demon Ancestor. The Demon Ancestor was indeed dead, but his remains had been preserved, which shocked Gu Yu greatly.
But upon closer reflection, this guy is a Demon Ancestor! An Ancestor Realm cultivator! He must have some powerful trump cards.
"I wonder if any treasures will be left behind?" Gu Yu murmured, then began to explore. An Ancestral Realm cultivator would never be poor. He didn't know if there were any Ancestral Artifacts, but there were definitely Divine Artifacts.
After searching for a while, Gu Yu frowned. Nothing. He couldn't find anything. Wait, he hadn't searched under the remains yet.
So Gu Yu tried to turn the remains back over, but as he tried to turn them over, his expression changed immediately. The remains were so heavy, like black knives, that he couldn't lift them at all.
Just then, the skull facing Gu Yu suddenly moved.
"Don't bother. After countless years of being swept by the power of gods and demons, my bones are incredibly heavy. Not to mention you, even a true god couldn't lift them."
Gu Yu suddenly froze, a look of fear appearing in his eyes. The skull's mouth had actually moved, and more importantly, it had made a sound. This startled Gu Yu greatly, and he immediately took several steps back, staring in horror at the direction where the skeleton was.
The skeleton's chest heaved up and down. The skeleton itself wasn't scary, but just when you thought it was dead and focused intently on finding its treasure, and your face was almost touching the skeleton's face, the skeleton's mouth suddenly started moving with a clicking sound. Isn't that terrifying?
"Look at your cowardice, tsk tsk..." the skeleton spoke again, "Coward as a mouse, yet you try to rummage through corpses here looking for treasure!"
"Hmm! Wait, how did you get here? Aren't you afraid of divine and demonic power? Wait, this black blade?" the skeleton suddenly exclaimed. "Are you a god or demon? But why are you so weak? That's strange."
Three questions followed, leaving Gu Yu unsure how to answer. However, Gu Yu had by this time recovered from his shock. The Demon Ancestor was not dead; he was still alive, though only a skeleton remained.
"Kid, can you get me out of this hellhole? I'll thank you afterwards, and I'll give you whatever you want." The Demon Ancestor suddenly realized something and said to Gu Yu.
"Really?" Gu Yu's eyes darted around. It seemed that although this guy was alive, he couldn't move.
“I am the Demon Ancestor, how could I lie to you? You saved me from this hellish place, so you are my savior. I will then appoint you as the Demon Emperor, second only to the Emperor, with billions of demon soldiers, generals, and gods obeying your commands,” the Demon Ancestor said.
"Could you give me some treasures first?" Gu Yu said. First, he couldn't even lift the Demon Ancestor's corpse. Second, this was the Demon Ancestor! The Demon Ancestor was a patriarch of the Demon Clan. The Demon Ancestor was inherently bloodthirsty. If he were allowed to return, the Demon Clan would be like a tiger with wings. With a patriarch backing him up, wouldn't they go on a killing spree? And who could restrain a patriarch? As for the Demon Ancestor's promise to make him the Demon Ancestor's Great Emperor, controlling billions of demon soldiers, that was just a joke. What if he went out and denied it? It would be better to trick the Demon Ancestor into giving him some treasures.
An Ancestral Realm cultivator is definitely not short of Source Stones; he might even have a whole bunch of top-grade Source Stones. In that case, the God-Slaying Array Plate could unlock even more arrays. If the Demon Ancestor had twenty-seven of them, that would be even better. Once he unlocked the Qiankun God-Slaying Array, Gu Yu could walk sideways with impunity.
“Alas! I was not lacking in treasures, but the power of gods and demons here is too strong. In the beginning, I used up all my treasures in order to resist the power of gods and demons,” the Demon Ancestor said. “But as long as you take me out, I can give you many, many treasures. Even if you want a world or ten worlds, I will get them for you.”
"No treasures?" Gu Yu said with some disappointment after hearing the Demon Ancestor's words. "Then forget it."
After Gu Yu finished speaking, he prepared to leave.
"Hey! Don't go! I remember I still have some left." The Demon Ancestor said anxiously when he saw Gu Yu about to leave.
"Let me see it," Gu Yu said.
"This..." The Demon Ancestor hesitated for a moment, "You brat, you're not going to take the treasure and then deny it, are you?"
"How could that be! You are the Demon Ancestor! How could I dare?" Gu Yu said.
Hearing Gu Yu's words, the Demon Ancestor hesitated. Yes! He was indeed the Demon Ancestor, but trapped in this place, he couldn't move an inch. Perhaps only after those two gods and demons woke up and left would he have any hope of escaping. But there was a problem: what if those two gods and demons killed him with a single blow? He shouldn't have come in back then. Thinking of how his clone had tried so hard to dissuade him, he was filled with remorse! It was all that damned human's fault; he had deceived him!
"Boy, I have some treasures here. I'll give you some first, and after you rescue me, I'll give you everything, including what we agreed on before," the Demon Ancestor said. Right now, he really didn't have anything that could control Gu Yu.
“Okay.” Gu Yu nodded, then surprisingly sat down next to the Demon Ancestor. “I have a few more questions to ask you.”
"Ask me, and I promise to answer everything I know," the Demon Ancestor said.
"Why did you come here? Don't you know there are two gods and demons here?" Gu Yu asked.
"It's all because of that beast, the Ancestor of Humanity." The Demon Ancestor suddenly uttered a curse, which startled Gu Yu. "After I get out, I will definitely tear the Ancestor of Humanity to pieces. No, I will also tear the entire human race to pieces to vent my hatred."
Little did Gu Yu know that upon hearing the Demon Ancestor's words, he frowned and gritted his teeth! If he could kill the Demon Ancestor, he would have loved to chop that thing down with a single blow.
"Did the Ancestor of Humanity trick you into coming here?" Gu Yu composed himself and asked the Demon Ancestor.
“Yes!” the Demon Ancestor said. “Back then, during the great war between heaven and earth, I heard that they had all died. I wanted to enter this place to see if I could find the Source Heart, but unfortunately, I was afraid of some danger, so I went to find the Human Ancestor.”
"Why do we need to find the Ancestor of Humanity?" Gu Yu was taken aback; he didn't understand.
“Because the Ancestor of Humanity came here and took the Dragon Palace Tower, I’m going to find out what’s going on and ask him if he took the Source Heart as well,” the Demon Ancestor replied.
"The Ancestor of Humanity has been here?" Upon hearing the Demon Ancestor's words, Gu Yu's expression changed drastically. He had asked Tooth who had been here before, and Tooth had said that only the Demon Ancestor had been here. Now the Demon Ancestor was saying that the Ancestor of Humanity had been here. Yes, the Dragon Palace Tower. The Dragon Palace Tower was also taken out by someone. He had actually forgotten about that.
“That’s right, otherwise why would the Dragon Ancestor’s Dragon Palace Tower be in his hands?” the Demon Ancestor said. “But now I doubt whether he has ever been here. Among the twelve ancestors, the other ancestor is the weakest. It’s impossible for him to have been here. Look at me, the Demon Ancestor, the strongest of the twelve ancestors. Even I am like this. If he has been here, how could he have left? Unless he got incredibly lucky and the Dragon Palace Tower is right at the entrance of the Source Gate.”
"Huh!" Gu Yu was taken aback. What he said seemed to make sense, but wasn't the strongest of the Twelve Ancestors the Dao Ancestor? How did it become the Demon Ancestor? "Was the Human Ancestor the weakest?"
“That’s right, the Human Ancestor was the last to reach the Ancestral Realm, and compared to the others, he was the weakest,” the Demon Ancestor said.
"So you're really the strongest?" Gu Yu asked.
“This…” Demon Ancestor hesitated for a moment, “That bastard Dao Ancestor was lucky back then, being the first to reach the Ancestral Realm, but he was only a little bit stronger than me.”
"Oh! I see! But I heard that your ancestral realms were all stolen?" Gu Yu said. He didn't know what the cavity had stolen, but if it really was stolen, the Demon Ancestor himself would definitely know.
"Who said it was stolen?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, the Demon Ancestor's voice suddenly became urgent.
"Heh... what exactly did you steal?" Gu Yu sneered and asked, already certain from the Demon Ancestor's tone that it was stolen.
“I forgot, you are a god or demon. Although you are not powerful, you still know some things.” The Demon Ancestor paused for a moment and said, “Our Ancestral Realm was indeed not achieved by ourselves, but it cannot be said that it was stolen. Instead, it was achieved by the Creation Vein. The Creation Vein is an unclaimed thing. Whoever obtains it naturally owns it.”
"The Pulse of Creation?" Gu Yu heard something else he didn't know.
"The veins of creation contain unparalleled power. They have existed since the beginning of time. If you obtain one, you can become an ancestor, because this thing can be transformed into the twelfth cone," said the Demon Ancestor.
"So you now have a Creation Vein within you?" Gu Yu asked the Demon Ancestor.
“That’s right, I’m still alive because of the Creation Vein,” the Demon Ancestor replied, but then he suddenly realized something, “Boy, I can give you anything, except the Creation Vein.”
"I didn't say I wanted the Creation Vein, did I?" Gu Yu shrugged. Although he said that, his first thought was indeed that he wanted the Creation Vein. However, he knew very well that the Demon Ancestor would not give it to him. Unfortunately, he was not strong enough. If he were, he would definitely kill the Demon Ancestor and take the Creation Vein.
Even if you want it, I won't give it to you.
"Do you think the Ancestor of Humanity ever came here?" Gu Yu frowned. The Dragon Palace Tower was in the hands of the Ancestor of Humanity, so he should have been here. But according to the Demon Ancestor, the Ancestor of Humanity was the weakest, so how did he leave? Also, was the Dragon Source taken out by the Ancestor of Humanity? But the Demon Ancestor said that the Ancestor of Humanity was the weakest, and the location of the Dragon Source was close to the depths at the time. To take the Dragon Source away, one would have to enter the realm of divine and demonic power. If it was the Ancestor of Humanity, there's no reason why the cavity wouldn't have discovered it.
The theory is that the tooth decayer might be the second test subject. The second test subject is also at the Ancestral Realm, stronger than the tooth decayer, and he is human. Could it be that he gave the Dragon Palace Tower to the Human Ancestor? It's not impossible.
"I don't know if he actually came or not, I only know that he lied to me." The Demon Ancestor said indignantly, "He told me that Gan Hekun was indeed dead, but the power of gods and demons inside was too strong, and he couldn't go too deep. It's possible that the source heart is deep inside."
"Huh?" Gu Yu was taken aback when he heard the Demon Ancestor's words. This wasn't exactly a case of the human race deceiving him.
"He said I was stronger than him and would definitely be able to reach the deepest part and find the Source Heart. I was puzzled at the time. Although the Human Ancestor was not strong, he was very domineering and never had a kind word for me. But that day he was very polite and praised me a lot. I love to hear praise. Besides, I am indeed very strong. What the Human Ancestor could not do, I can definitely do. So I came." The Demon Ancestor said.
"He didn't exactly lie to you, did he?" Gu Yu said after hearing the Demon Ancestor's account.
"He deceived me. Gan Hekun is not dead at all. They have just fallen into a deep sleep. The Human Ancestor must know this. He caused me to be trapped here, unable to move at all. If it weren't for the lineage, I would be dead." The Demon Ancestor said with hatred.
"But didn't you say he was the weakest of the Twelve Ancestors?" Gu Yu asked doubtfully. "How could he know that Gan Hekun wasn't dead? According to you, his strength shouldn't have been enough to get here and out, and..."
Gu Yu did not continue speaking. The two gods and demons sleeping inside were not Gan, but Kun and Hong. Obviously, the Demon Ancestor did not know the identities of these two gods and demons.
"He's the one who lied to me. He acted so strangely that day. Thinking about it carefully, he must have known," the Demon Ancestor said with certainty.
Could it be that Number Two also told the Ancestor of Humanity? Gu Yu frowned. It seemed that to find the truth, he needed to find the Ancestor of Humanity, but where was the Ancestor of Humanity? Dragon Palace Tower, yes, Dragon Palace Tower, all of this seemed to be related to the Dragon Palace Tower. It seemed that after he got out, he would have to go to the Dragon Palace Tower again.
Hmm! Gu Yu suddenly thought of something. Could the old man sweeping the steps of the Dragon Palace Tower be the Ancestor of Humanity? That can't be right! Why would the Ancestor of Humanity sweep steps? Could he be the Ancestor of Humanity's servant? That's possible. Then he might very well know where the Ancestor of Humanity is.
"By the way, Demon Ancestor, where are the two gods and demons you mentioned?" Gu Yu asked. Judging from the Demon Ancestor's tone, this guy had obviously seen Kun and Hong.
“Right above us,” the Demon Ancestor replied.
"We need to go up there?" Gu Yu was taken aback. He looked up, but the power of gods and demons blocked his vision, and all he could see was a hazy gray expanse.
However, he then moved his hand and flew upwards.
"Boy, what are you doing? You're not going to rescue them, are you?" The Demon Ancestor suddenly realized something. Gu Yu was a god-demon, albeit a weak one. Could he be a descendant of those two gods-demons? He came here to rescue those two gods-demons. If he were to awaken the gods-demons, what would become of him?
Gu Yu didn't answer his question. No wonder he hadn't found any trace of the gods and demons after walking for so long! It turned out that the gods and demons were in the heavens.
After flying for a few minutes, Gu Yu suddenly felt his head hit something. Upon closer inspection, he saw a black wall covered in scales, similar to dragon scales. Gu Yu roughly felt around and found that each scale was about one square meter in size and extremely hard, dozens of times harder than the scales on the Corpse Beetle King. Of course, this was Gu Yu's estimate; he couldn't determine exactly how hard they were.
