"War Ancestor? Just this pitch-black, useless, and ordinary skeleton?"
The golden halberd and the jet-black iron seal scrutinized Cao Ya with a look of skepticism.
However, when they actually discovered that Cao Ya's power was profound and had transcended the half-ancestor realm, their tone immediately changed, becoming somewhat obsequious.
"Brother, we were blind to your greatness, please don't take it to heart."
"We two brothers will follow you from now on. You eat well, we'll eat well, okay? You tell us to go east, we'll never go west; you tell us to beat a dog, we'll never chase a chicken!"
The contrast before and after...
Cao Ya almost rolled his eyes. He patted the two peak semi-ancestor divine weapons, and the loud thuds made the golden halberd and the black iron seal howl and cry out that they couldn't take it anymore.
"Get out!" Cao Ya's face darkened.
"Big brother, don't get lost! We'll fight to the death to become your divine weapons!" the golden halberd and the jet-black iron seal roared.
Cao Ya finally understood why the White Bone Ancestor Lord Suirenshi was unwilling to carry these two divine weapons.
Aside from a few cultivators like Xiao Chen, many people with the power of an Ancestral God, such as true Ancestral Gods, Ancestral Lords, or War Ancestors, are too lazy to use these two divine weapons.
Even if they possess complete consciousness and extremely high spirituality!
In the realm of immortality, divine weapons like the Golden Halberd and the Black Iron Seal possessing independent intelligence are extremely rare.
Many more powerful weapons, even stone weapons, lack sentience.
The intelligence these two possessed was largely due to their past experiences.
For example, in the Valley of Burial Soldiers in the Soul Realm, there are many ancient weapons of the ancestral gods. Nurtured by them for ten thousand years, they gradually developed sentience.
Many weapons possess only a rudimentary level of spirituality and cannot be considered living beings.
Suirenshi talked with Cao Ya for a while longer before finally leaving and entering the deepest part of the world of death to meet Wuzu and carry out his grand plan.
Before that, he asked Cao Ya to take appropriate care of the Divine Village in the outer region of the Death World.
Cao Ya agreed.
Because he was quite familiar with Kamimura.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, I have occasionally ventured out, but I have been there many times.
However, many of the people I once knew have passed away.
The desolate wilderness was soon left with only Cao Ya and the two divine artifacts.
"Brother, why is your soul fire black? Does that mean your heart is black too? Are you a black skull?!" the Golden Divine Halberd asked curiously.
Bang!
Cao Ya's eyes twitched, and he slapped the man away, sending him flying tens of thousands of miles.
"Brother, ignore that guy, he's got a screw loose. I, Black Iron Seal, am your most loyal divine weapon." Black Iron Seal said in a fawning tone.
Whew~~
The golden halberd flew back, transforming into a halberd that plunged horizontally into the ground.
"Brother, are you going to Shen Village? We know it well, I can lead the way," said Wu Hei Tieyin eagerly.
"No rush." Cao Ya shook his head, his eyes deep and his divine power faintly visible as he examined the two weapons.
Instantly, the golden halberd and the black iron seal trembled, their spiritual light vanished, and they collapsed to the ground with a thud, feigning death.
"..." Cao Ya's face was very dark.
He suddenly suspected that Suirenshi might have known this all along, which was why he specially took out the golden halberd and the black iron seal and gave them to him.
"Stop playing dead! The ancestral divine weapon of the Twelve Zodiac War Ancestors, is it really that cowardly?" Cao Ya said with a half-smile.
Buzz...
The golden halberd and the jet-black iron printing suddenly revived, standing on the ground, muttering:
"Didn't we suffer a calamity and become a divine artifact at the level of a half-ancestor?"
This is why they are so enthusiastic about following Cao Ya.
Because in their eyes, Cao Ya was the War Ancestor, just like their former master.
The Twelve Zodiac War Ancestors were twelve powerful figures from the Nine Provinces. Although they were not Ancestral Gods and had no hope of advancing further, their combat power was formidable and no less than that of Ancestral Gods!
However, in countless wars throughout the history of civilization, the Nine Provinces were defeated by other worlds, and the Twelve Zodiac War Ancestors perished. Their ancestral divine weapons were either shattered or fell into the hands of powerful beings from other worlds, where they were modified and distorted in various ways.
The Golden Divine Halberd and the Black Iron Seal were reassembled during that process. After going through many hardships, they finally managed to escape back to the Nine Provinces, but their strength was greatly reduced. They were no longer at the level of ancestral divine weapons and fell to the level of half-ancestor.
For so many years, they have dreamed of restoring their peak strength and joining forces with the Ancestral God of the Nine Provinces to launch a counterattack against the other world!
Now, they have basically reached the peak of the semi-ancestor level, and are not far from the level of ancestral god.
But they knew that this last step was actually the most difficult.
With the help of the War Ancestor, their confidence in returning to their peak will be several times stronger!
So even if Cao Ya tries to kick them out now, these two guys will definitely stick around and refuse to leave.
Since Cao Ya was familiar with Suirenshi, they were destined to be on the same side and could be trusted.
Moreover, upon closer reflection, I have indeed heard of Cao Ya.
"Big brother! After all these years, we've finally found you!" The golden halberd and the jet-black iron seal sounded like they were about to cry.
Cao Ya shivered and looked disgusted.
"If you continue to disgust me like this, believe me, I'll throw you all into the depths of the dead world?"
The golden halberd and the black iron seal immediately looked embarrassed and muttered a few words.
"Sigh." Cao Ya sighed helplessly.
His true cultivation level was at the ninth level of the Half-Ancestor realm, and his combat strength was originally at that level as well.
However, after entering the system space once, his combat power soared, becoming basically comparable to an ordinary ancestral god.
In other words, he truly became the War Ancestor. With the body of a half-ancestor, possessing the power of an ancestral god—this is the War Ancestor!
The Ancestral Gods of the [Eternal Life Realm] universe are five-star, while the Stone King and the Supreme Ancestral God at the Great Perfection are six-star. Those Emperor-level experts are at the peak of the six-star level.
Therefore, this universe is basically only half a step away from advancing to the seventh star level.
"I wonder if Suirenshi, after going to the deepest region and meeting Wuzu, will be able to save the ancestral dragon ship from tragedy?"
Cao Ya looked in the direction where Suirenshi had left, and only looked away after a long while.
His reminder was not a random act, nor was it some future vision seen when advancing to the War Ancestor level.
He knew perfectly well that when the Ancestral Dragon Ship was traveling through the void of the myriad worlds, evading pursuit from other realms, it would be targeted by a crippled Emperor-level expert in that void. Ultimately, the expert would strike and annihilate all the beings on the Ancestral Dragon Ship, with only a very few barely surviving.
Most of the Kyushu seeds died.
That incomplete Emperor-level expert was the Primordial Demon Emperor, an opponent of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the progenitors of the Nine Provinces, and Pangu and Nuwa. He was suppressed and exiled by these ten progenitors, sealed away for billions of years, lonely and bitter, and filled with deep hatred.
The ten progenitors of Kyushu were all emperor-level experts.
Later, Pangu King, one of the six great kings of the chaotic land, was the reincarnation of the remnant soul of the ancestor Pangu. Although he was the strongest among the stone kings, he was still far inferior to the ancestor Pangu.
The reason why the Nine Provinces were not completely wiped out by the other world is because of the existence of King Pangu.
