Dark Ancestor Stone Formation.

"Human figure?" Lingbao Tianzun frowned and looked carefully at the tree for a long time, "Where is the human figure?"

"Can't you see?"

Lin Qiye stood there in a daze.

In his field of vision, there was indeed a person standing under the bare branches. Although the distance was too far and Lin Qiye could not see his face clearly, he knew that it was a man leaning against the tree trunk, looking up at the starry sky.

Lin Qiye described what he saw to Lingbao Tianzun, who frowned and thought for a moment before speaking:

"Come on, let's get closer."

The two of them crossed the grassland under the night sky, approaching the bare tree trunk step by step. In the eyes of Lingbao Tianzun, it was still empty, but in the eyes of Lin Qiye, the figure gradually became clear.

It was a man dressed in black, without a face, without clothes, and even without thickness, as if he was just a shadow projected on the tree trunk.

But when I looked carefully under the tree, there was no figure. So where did this shadow come from?

The shadow seemed to have noticed the arrival of Lin Qiye and the others. He turned his head slightly and stared at the two of them with his dark face. Since he had no facial features, Lin Qiye could not see his expression, but vaguely, his figure seemed to tremble.

"The spiritual treasure of Daxia in the future generation requests to see you, please ask the Dark Ancestor to show up."

Lingbao Tianzun stood under the tree, still unable to see the shadow. He just raised his hand respectfully, bowed, and said.

After he finished speaking, the shadow remained motionless, and from the position of his face, it seemed as if he was staring at Lin Qiye.

"No movement..." Lingbao Tianzun looked around in surprise.

With Lingbao Tianzun's current strength and realm, there are almost no things in this world that can confuse him, but the current strange situation is really beyond his understanding.

The shadow that only Lin Qiye can see, but he can't?

Just as Lingbao Tianzun was puzzled, Lin Qiye's eyes were also fixed on the shadow on the tree trunk, as if he was looking at it...

For some reason, as he approached the bare tree, an inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly arose in his heart. He carefully sensed the source of this feeling and finally locked onto the source of darkness in his body.

"origin……?"

Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously raised his finger and touched the shadow on the tree trunk.

At the same time, the shadow was also stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Lin Qiye.

When Lingbao Tianzun saw Lin Qiye's actions, he subconsciously wanted to stop him, but his hand stopped in mid-air... He stared at Lin Qiye, who did not have the slightest sign of being bewitched in his eyes, only a kind of wonderful charm.

As Lin Qiye's fingertips touched the shadow on the tree trunk, Lin Qiye's body shook slightly!

"Seven Nights!"

Lingbao Tianzun made a lightning-fast move, grabbed Lin Qiye's arm, and pulled him back dozens of meters.

Lin Qiye's body fell limply in his arms, his eyes closed. At the same time, a terrifying aura suddenly burst out from his body. The moonlight in the night sky was covered by darkness, and the whole world was completely dark and silent.

Lingbao Tianzun frowned as he watched this scene. He held the Dao formula in his left hand and was about to press it on Lin Qiye's brow when the latter's limp body suddenly turned into darkness and disappeared without a trace.

“Who is this monster?!” Lingbao Tianzun shouted angrily, and a Hunyuan Wuji Cave spread rapidly under his feet, as if it would swallow up this dark world!

“Don’t be nervous…” Lin Qiye’s figure floated in the darkness, his eyes still tightly closed. A deep voice came from his throat, “I can’t hurt him. He took the initiative to ask me to enter his body…”

Lingbao Tianzun stood on the Hunyuan Wuji Cave, his Taoist robe dancing in the wind. He did not stop there, but narrowed his eyes and continued:

"Who are you?"

"I am the remnant soul of the Dark Ancestor..."

The remaining soul of the Dark Ancestor?

Lingbao Tianzun paused for a moment, "If you are the Dark Ancestor, why do you want to occupy the body of a junior? Why don't you show up and see it?"

"...I said, he let me in." For some reason, Anzu's voice sounded a little helpless, "I am just a shadow now, without a real body, how can I show up?

This person carries my origin in his body, so he can see me and even let me reappear in the world through his body... Otherwise, I can't even talk to you.

But don't worry, my current state won't last long, and I will soon leave his body and return to the tree trunk."

Lingbao Tianzun carefully looked at Lin Qiye floating in the darkness, and after confirming that he was not lying, he temporarily put away the Hunyuan Wuji Cave and his expression relaxed a little.

“Are all the gods of your later generations as powerful as you?” Anzu couldn’t help but sigh, “Your aura is not far from mine in my prime.”

Lingbao Tianzun hesitated for a moment, "Not everyone is like me..."

Anzu nodded slightly, "Your own realm has been cultivated to the extreme, the only thing you lack is the power of faith... It's strange, I don't know how many years ago, there was also a god from the future who came here. His realm was not as good as yours, but his power of faith was very strong.

With your current strength, plus the blessing of worship, you should not be lacking in faith. Why is the power of faith so scarce in you?

Could it be that all living things in the world have been destroyed?"

"Not entirely." Lingbao Tianzun paused, "It's just that in this world, there are not many people who believe in us. We don't want to force believers, so we practice ourselves with limited faith."

"I see."

"May I ask Anzu, who was the god from the later generations who came here that year?"

"He has no origin, and he can't communicate with me. He just walked around these stone circles. Several people around him called him king... It seems to be Gilgamesh?"

A look of doubt appeared in Lingbao Tianzun's eyes:

"He also passed through the wall of time and space and came here? How did he get here?"

"When he explored this place, the Ancestral Temple was still on Earth... but later something unexpected happened and it was lost in time and space."

"An accident? Who did it?"

Logically speaking, there was no fog invasion in that era, and all living things in the world were still alive. Even if there were no humans believing in the ancestral gods, those animals and plants still provided a steady supply of faith. Even if the strength of many ancestral gods was far less than before, they would not be directly exiled to the end of time and space.

Anzu was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Those are some monsters from outside the world. They wanted to occupy the Ancestral Temple. We have been fighting them for nearly a hundred years... Unfortunately, our strength has weakened. Although we managed to repel them, the Ancestral Temple was also severely damaged and flowed into the gap in time and space."
