"Hero?" Cao Ya was surprised for a moment, then quickly realized.
“Cao Ya, you are still alive after all,” Ying Xiong exclaimed.
"You two know each other?" Tianwaitian, who looked like a hoodlum, asked in surprise.
"I was only imprisoned in the Palace of Death for ten thousand years, while Cao Ya has lived for countless tens of thousands of years." Ying Xiong curled his lips, looking at Cao Ya with considerable envy.
"You've reached the peak of your kingship?"
Upon hearing this, the golden halberd and the jet-black iron seal leaped out and shouted:
"Where did this punk come from, daring to belittle our boss! He's the War Ancestor! What kind of king is he? Don't look down on him!"
When the words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
"War... War Ancestor?!" Sha Po Lang stammered.
"Isn't this the Ancestral God?!" Jin Sanyi exclaimed, his eyes wide.
"King Cao Ya, you've become a War Ancestor?!" Xiao Chen was shocked. The last time they met, King Cao Ya was only at the ninth level of the Half-Ancestor realm. How long has it been? He's already...
Immediately, Xiao Chen felt a surge of joy.
"Congratulations," Xiao Chen said with a smile.
“If I hadn’t been trapped by that being who surpasses even a monarch, I would also…” Yingxiong stared at Cao Ya, his eyes red.
"You think you can become a War Ancestor? Don't be ridiculous, you couldn't even do it in ten thousand years!" The outsider, who looked like a seven or eight-year-old child, said disdainfully.
"Damn it, if I can't do it, do you think you can break through to the Battle Ancestor or Ancestral God level?" Yingxiong retorted.
Tianwaitian laughed heartily from the side, looking like he was watching to see how far they could despise each other.
"But why are you two following Prince Cao Ya?" Xiao Chen asked curiously, looking at the golden halberd and the black iron seal.
He had dealt with these two divine weapons many times and they were quite familiar with each other.
However, despite their good relationship, neither the Golden Halberd nor the Black Iron Seal had any intention of telling the truth.
"Guess," the jet-black iron seal said with a smile.
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes. "I bet you're a second uncle!"
The sight of a group of semi-ancestor level experts bickering and despising each other broadened everyone's horizons, and seemed to alleviate their gloomy and disappointed mood somewhat.
Cao Ya glanced around and sighed inwardly.
Those who traveled aboard the Ancestral Lord's warship to the village of the Dead Gods were ultimately a minority among the beings of Kyushu and the four directions of the world.
Too many lives have been lost in the invasion from another world.
Moreover, this kind of tragedy has happened more than once.
For countless millennia, the Nine Provinces have witnessed countless civilizations, some long, some short, all of which were regarded as experimental subjects by the other world. When they were deemed ready, they began to harvest them, annihilating each civilization and slaughtering all living beings.
Despite the powerful forces of the other world and the repeated struggles of the Nine Provinces Ancestral Gods, who lost wave after wave of experts, the results were still minimal.
The blood feuds of countless civilizations have destined the Nine Provinces and the other world to be an endless battle!
Tianwaitian and Renwairen are half-ancestors of the Tongtian Realm in the Nine Provinces, as is Xiao Chen, but he has more opportunities and has been to more worlds.
The demonic creature, the Heroic Bear, was a native being of the Death World. Ten thousand years ago, it was also the king of the central region and knew Cao Ya.
Ten thousand years ago, Ying Xiong was trapped in the Death Palace. Just when he was exhausted and almost out of energy, Xiao Chen, Tianwaitian, and Renwairen accidentally entered the Death Palace and took away three Yin-Yang Trees. Because of their profound cultivation, they reached the Tongtian Realm and could be called kings.
However, these seven kings later encountered a formidable enemy and were nearly killed.
Because the evil corpse of the Martial Ancestor forcibly broke into the Palace of Death, it helped Xiao Chen and his group suppress the great enemy, helped the seven monarchs escape, and left the Palace of Death.
Therefore, Demon King Yingxiong and the three Tree Kings came to the Divine Village with Xiao Chen, Tianwaitian, and Renwairen to restore their divine power and strengthen the village's foundation.
After all, they were four great monarchs!
According to the Nine Provinces, that's four and a half ancestors!
Including Xiao Chen, Tianwaitian, and Renwairen, there are seven half-ancestors!
However, this power, though strong, is incredibly fragile in the face of the otherworld.
Let alone half-ancestors, even ancestral gods can be easily mobilized from other worlds, with more than ten of them.
Cao Ya didn't recognize the three Tree Man Old Monarchs among these seven Half Ancestors, but he had known Xiao Chen, Tianwaitian, Renwairen, and Yingxiong for a long time.
The Palace of Death was left behind by a powerful ancestral monarch who had collected oracle bone images, ventured into the deepest part of the Netherworld, and foreseen the future. Thus, he devised a far-reaching plan, creating the Palace of Death, which lingered in the central region of the Netherworld, harming a large number of monarchs.
Because Cao Ya knew his origins and was very cautious, he was not taken seriously by the ancestral ruler and was not targeted by him.
Inside the Palace of Death, dozens of kings have died!
“Eeya…” Suddenly, a snow-white little beast with sleepy eyes flew out from inside the village.
"Keke." The girls from the village all had their eyes light up, eager to touch the soft fur of the snow-white little beast.
"Eeya eeya..." The snow-white little beast dodged and landed on Xiao Chen's head with a whoosh, lying on his head.
"Keke, you've only been asleep for a short time?" Xiao Chen stroked the snow-white little beast with his left hand, which made many girls in the divine village envious and jealous, their eyes turning red.
"Eee-yah~~" the snow-white little beast cried out, rubbing its sleepy eyes with its furry hands, gradually waking up a bit.
"It's too difficult to advance to the Half-Ancestor Realm. Can't one reach the peak of Half-Ancestor Realm by sleeping for several years?" Xiao Chen was speechless.
Everyone was speechless upon hearing this.
The snow-white little beast is truly heaven-defying. It can improve its cultivation level simply by sleeping and cultivate in its dreams. Compared to the others who either fight to the death, experiencing the great terror between life and death to strengthen their Dao heart, or cultivate diligently and earnestly for many years, this is much more comfortable!
Even the few semi-ancestral monarchs were extremely envious.
Those who cultivated to the Heavenly Realm, each of them endured countless hardships and tribulations, and what about this little thing...?
He became a half-ancestor of the Tongtian Realm while he was sleeping!
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!
"Keke, it's been a long time." Cao Ya said with a smile. He had met Keke when she first entered the Realm of Death before when he met Xiao Chen.
Cao Ya also dotes on this innocent and adorable snow-white little beast.
To be honest, Cao Ya had met Ke Ke's parents before, so they were acquaintances.
"Eeya, Cao Ya, it's you." The snow-white little beast waved its little paws, as if it had only just noticed Cao Ya.
"..." Everyone was speechless.
This little guy is not only incredibly skilled in cultivation, but his personality is also incredibly extraordinary.
"Cao Ya, is there anything delicious?" The little guy asked, swallowing hard.
"No!" Cao Ya shook his head.
Immediately, the snow-white little beast felt regretful and muttered, "The fruit last time tasted very good, but unfortunately there are no such fruit trees in its lost paradise."
"Little foodie," Cao Ya laughed, reaching out to rub the snow-white little beast's head.
I have to say, the feel is absolutely fantastic!
Cao Ya knew that Paradise Lost was a secret treasure, left for Ke Ke's parents, specifically for their child.
Even a half-ancestor would lose his smile upon entering.
Therefore, it is called Paradise Lost.
And the snow-white little beast Keke, despite its cute animal appearance, is actually a member of the human race millions of years ago. Tracing back to their ancestors, they were once one of the six great kings of the chaotic land!
