Chen An walked into the depths of his chaotic sea of energy and saw someone who looked very similar to him.
He said, "I am the collection of all your past life memories except yours, so you will understand what happened."
"You say!" Chen An waited.
"Do you know what captivity is? This Taixu world, and even the myriad worlds it has transformed into, is nothing more than a captivity."
"Taixu, Taixu, originally created out of nothing, made up of three parts of the ancestor's truth and seven parts of falsehood. This is the essence of this world!"
"Who is the ancestor?"
"You'll understand after you listen to me. You've heard about Nuwa from the ancestral realm creating humans, right?"
"I've heard of it!" Chen An responded.
"Legend has it that Nuwa molded humans from clay and then breathed upon them, transforming them into living beings. This breath was a continuation of the Ancestral consciousness. Therefore, every one of us born in the universe carries within our consciousness the Ancestral will. Although it is faint and invisible, it is nonetheless very real."
"This also means that no matter how hard we practice, we can never surpass the ancestor, because he is a mountain that we cannot cross!"
"Except here, I dare not mention it outside, let alone speak of it. Speaking of it is taboo, and mentioning it brings terror. Even consciousness cannot be easily touched, otherwise disaster will surely come."
"Back then, the ancestor of the Ji family, Emperor Ji Da, violated a taboo and his consciousness was annihilated."
When Chen An heard this, he was not too shocked.
Because the deaths outside have gradually made Chen An numb.
"The First Ancestor used his own power to construct the Taixu World, but he also exhausted himself in the process. However, he extended his will to all living beings. So, the First Ancestor is gone, but still exists, becoming the will of heaven."
"The Taixu World is three parts real and seven parts fake, so it can't be compared with the Ancestral Realm at all. Therefore, there are restrictions here, and we can never get out!"
Hearing this, Chen An said: "No, Chen Zhi, Chen Xuan, and even Meng Ali have all been to the ancestral world Earth!"
The person opposite shook his head. "That's only because I accidentally discovered the secret beneath Guixu. Guixu is a true dragon that accidentally broke into the abyss. True dragons possess the magical power to travel through everything. However, because the true dragon was seriously injured, it was suppressed by the will of the ancestor and turned into Guixu. However, the passage the true dragon traveled through still exists, which allowed me to find the ancestral realm."
"Since we can connect to the ancestral realm, we can leave this Taixu world and be free from restrictions. Why do we need to make so many arrangements?"
He said, "Since Chen Zhi and Chen Xuan returned, the road to Guixu has been discovered and cut off. Now there is no way out."
"Then why didn't you send so many people to the ancestral realm before you noticed?"
Chen An's past life collection shook his head: "Do you know how terrifying an ancestral realm without a cage is?"
Chen An was stunned: "Is it terrible? I have lived there for more than 20 years and have never seen a cultivator!"
"How do you think our current world, the cultivation system, and even the entire world society system came about?"
"Could it be that it came from the ancestral realm?" Chen An wondered.
The previous life looked at Chen An and asked, "Where is Kunlun Mountain?"
"It should be in the ancestral realm. After all, it seems to be a legend there."
"Some legends are just legends, while some are history. However, I can tell you with certainty that our ancestors came from the Ancestral Realm, and our evolution, the prototype of this world, is based on the Ancestral Realm."
"The only difference is that the laws of nature and time in this world are different from those in the Ancestral Realm. So, hundreds of thousands of years have passed here, but in the Ancestral Realm, perhaps only a few years or decades have passed."
Speaking of this, Chen An sighed in his previous life: "So the real way out is to truly break the shackles of the ancestor."
But Chen An shook his head: "I still don't understand. What's so scary about the will of the ancestor? We just don't touch it. Is it necessary to go to such great lengths to survive in this world? Isn't birth, aging, sickness and death normal for all human beings?"
In his previous life, Chen An sighed and said, "Do you know what captivity is?"
Chen An instantly thought of the blind fortune teller, who seemed to have seen through Chen An's heart in his previous life.
"That blind old man is the ancestor showing signs of revival. Fortunately, he didn't disrupt our arrangements. Or maybe he simply doesn't believe anyone can transcend. He looks at us like we're ants."
Chen An felt heavy in his heart: "You just said they were kept in captivity, but are you also going to harvest them?"
Chen An revealed some vicissitudes of life in his previous life: "Although the ancestor's will is only a remnant, it is also constantly repairing. If the ancestor's remnant will wants to be repaired, it needs nourishment, and we, especially those above the Saint Realm, are the best nourishment."
"When the First Ancestor recovers, the entire world will cease to exist in a single thought. Remember, it will cease to exist, not collapse. Everyone you see, everything you experience, and even anything you see will cease to exist, without even a trace left. Do you find it terrifying?"
Chen An closed his eyes and nodded after a moment: "It's terrible. Our existence has no meaning at all."
"Exist? Back then, we didn't even exist!"
At this moment, Chen An really felt the terror and chill.
"They use themselves as the foundation to help you break through the legendary realm, which is the ultimate freedom!"
Chen An was puzzled: "Where did the concept of great freedom come from? If someone has achieved it, wouldn't it be breaking the cage of heaven and earth?"
