The last time Lin Qiye saw the little boy, he said that the Second Covenant might be able to give the answer to his identity.

At first, Lin Qiye didn’t understand what this sentence meant. After all, his Second Covenant was only to dispel the fog and did not have any “subject”. But he soon realized that the little boy was referring to the “Ancestral Temple”.

Is his identity related to the Ancestral God?

This is the biggest question that lingers in Lin Qiye's mind after he walked out of the time maze... and now, the answer is within reach.

The huge ancestral temple was suspended above the sea, quiet and mysterious. Lin Qiye took a deep breath and walked into the ancient door.

Ji Jian hesitated for a moment, but followed closely.

Everything in the Ancestral Temple was the same as it was the last time Lin Qiye came here. Countless magnificent stone pillars stood on the ground and soared into the sky. Walking among these ridiculously huge stones, it felt like arriving in an ancient country of giants.

It was the first time for Ji Nian to enter the Ancestral Temple. She looked around curiously, touching here and looking there, and couldn't help but speak:

"This place is really old... It's older than all the ruins we have discovered. It must be at least hundreds of thousands of years old, right?"

"Maybe... Anyway, this place existed before humans were born."

Lin Qiye passed through one stone circle after another, climbed up the stairs, and soon stepped onto a huge stone platform. From a distance, it looked like a pyramid with its tip cut off, standing tall under the gray sky.

Twelve ancient stone statues are placed around the platform, each as big as a mountain. Although their faces have been worn out and are blurred, they still have an inexplicable charm.

The moment I stepped onto this high platform, I suddenly felt like I was being watched...

"Do you feel that something is watching us?" Jin Yi looked around and spoke with a strange expression.

"It's them."

Lin Qiye looked towards the twelve towering stone statues. The statues stood motionless in their places, but from their blurred faces, it seemed as if there were rays of light staring at Lin Qiye and the other two who were walking up to the platform.

"Are they all alive?" asked Ji Nian in surprise.

"It wasn't like that when I came here before... They were basically all asleep at that time, and this place was dead silent." A trace of reminiscence flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes, "It seems that the power of faith from all over the earth has indeed helped them recover a lot."

"It is said that the ancestral gods are the oldest gods in the world. The laws were derived from their existence... They can be regarded as the ancestors of all living beings in later generations." Ji Nian couldn't help but speak, "Should we kowtow to them?"

Lin Qiye: “Uh…”

Before Lin Qiye could answer, the twelve stone statues shook violently!

These ancient stone statues that had existed for countless years suddenly began to shake slightly. Small pieces of stone and dust rolled off them, causing the entire ancestral temple to shake like an earthquake.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion of commemoration, but at this moment, she seemed to see expressions of “horrified” on the blurry faces of these stone statues.

She rubbed her eyes in confusion, and then looked carefully again. The faces of the stone statues were still rough and blurry, and she couldn't even see the facial features clearly, let alone the "expression"... It was an illusion, it must be an illusion!

"Why is there an earthquake?" Jinian asked in confusion.

“I don’t know… maybe the Ancestral Temple is recovering.” Lin Qiye didn’t know the source of the vibration and shook his head. “There’s no need to kowtow… but some basic etiquette is still necessary.”

Lin Qiye glanced at the twelve stone statues and bowed slightly:

"Junior Lin Qiye greets all the ancestors."

Boom——!

The entire ancestral temple shook again!

Compared to the last time, the amplitude of this earthquake was much lighter, but this time Ji Nian was careful and observed the faces of the stone statues carefully. He found that at that moment, the expressions of these ancestral stone statues did change!

For the first time in her life, she saw the emotion of "panic" on the faces of a group of stone statues!

Ji Nian’s eyes widened immediately, and he opened his mouth to say something, when a black shadow flew out from one of the stone statues and landed steadily in front of the two of them.

"Senior Anzu?"

When Lin Qiye saw this familiar figure, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Compared to the last time they met, the Dark Ancestor in front of him looked much more solid and his aura was much stronger. Perhaps it was because he possessed the origin of darkness and the laws of darkness in his body, but Lin Qiye felt an inexplicable closeness to the Dark Ancestor.

Hearing the words "Senior Anzu", Anzu's eyelids jumped, but he still stepped forward and spoke respectfully:

"Don't be so polite... If you hadn't helped us this time, we wouldn't have been able to come back."

"you?"

Ji Nian keenly caught the word and looked at Lin Qiye with a subtle expression.

"Even so, I still want to thank all the ancestors for helping me out. If it weren't for you, it wouldn't be so easy to drive the [Black Goat] away."

"Hehehe... As I should, as I should."

“…”

Anzu's attitude was too humble. Although Lin Qiye had some doubts last time, he didn't take it to heart at that time. Now that he was standing here, he couldn't ignore this question...

He couldn't help but wonder, and asked directly:

"Senior Anzu, since last time, your attitude towards me has been a little... uh... strange. Can you explain it to me?"

"this……"

When An Zu heard this question, he looked a little hesitant.

When Lin Qiye saw Anzu's expression, he knew that he had guessed correctly. His identity was indeed related to the Ancestral God...

To be honest, Lin Qiye had never doubted his origins before. He grew up on Earth and it was impossible for him to have any relationship with any ancestral gods. But after seeing the little boy in his mind who looked exactly like him, he became a little uncertain...

If I am an ordinary person, then who is the little boy who calls himself "Lin Qiye" in my mind?

After I was taken away from the hospital and lost consciousness, who was I when I beat up [Chaos]?

And the treatment progress bar that inexplicably appeared above his head... When did he become the sixth patient in the hospital? Why did he not have any memory left? How did he leave the Gods Mental Hospital when the treatment progress did not reach 50%?

The more he thought about it, the more mysteries Lin Qiye felt about himself. He even began to feel a little strange... and if he wanted to know the answers to everything, perhaps the only way was to ask the little boy.

The ancestor god is the direction pointed out by the little boy to himself, and it is also the only clue for him to solve the mystery now.
