"With your current situation, you're not even an Ancestral God?!"
Xiao Chen, Tianwaitian, Renwairen, Yingxiong, Golden Divine Halberd, Black Iron Seal, and the three Tree Man Old Monarchs—this group of half-ancestors—were all stunned.
If Cao Ya can only become a War Ancestor, then what about them...?
Is there really any hope of ancestral gods in this lifetime?
Cao Ya thought to himself, my situation is special, but it cannot be generalized.
Much of his power does not belong to the system of the [Eternal Life Realm] universe. It can only be used because of the special nature of the system space. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to do it.
Therefore, people can understand its methods and learn from its path, but they cannot walk that path themselves.
Of course, it's not a big problem if certain top-notch techniques are taught to a group of people.
"Try attacking me," Cao Ya said with a light laugh.
A group of semi-ancestral figures hesitated for a moment, then revealed an eager expression.
"Alright! Let's make our move!" Tianwaitian nodded emphatically and was the first to attack.
The semi-ancestral beings joined forces and launched an attack on War Ancestor Cao Ya. Everyone who witnessed this watched with wide eyes.
However, to their surprise, Cao Ya simply stretched out one hand, and all sorts of divine power swept across the vast sky, directly destroying the divine laws and magical power of the half-ancestors.
This scene undoubtedly horrified everyone.
Xiao Chen withdrew his hand and sighed. So, there really was such a huge gap between his true strength and that of the Battle Ancestor!
Did I rely too much on divine artifacts like divine maps and swords in the past?
Xiao Chen pondered and realized that he also needed to enhance his own power, lest he become a useless person without the various divine objects.
"Eek, Cao Ya, you're so powerful now." Among the group of semi-ancestral beings, only the snow-white little beast didn't make a move; it was too lazy to do so.
The half-ancestors, including Tianwaitian, Renwairen, Huangjin Audit, and Wuhei Tieyin, smiled bitterly.
"The War Ancestor truly lives up to his reputation as the Ancestral God of War; his strength is indeed terrifying!" the three Tree Man Kings exclaimed in amazement.
Everyone stared at Cao Ya with fervent eyes.
A genuine, confirmed, and powerful War Ancestor is now going to preach and teach them—what an incredible opportunity…
A once-in-a-millennium event!
“Ten thousand years ago, although you were strong, you weren’t this powerful.” The demonic creature Yingxiong sighed, “The central and outer regions of the Death World are probably your domain, Cao Ya.”
"An existence surpassing even a monarch..."
The hero looked at the black skeleton sitting cross-legged opposite him, black soul fire slowly burning in its eye sockets, revealing a calm state of mind.
Yingxiong was immediately filled with emotion.
Although I had seen the ancestral gods of the Nine Provinces a few days ago, they did not belong to the world of death. Even the White Bone Ancestral God who helped the Divine Village forge the Ancestral Lord's Warship was actually an ancestral god of the Nine Provinces, not a pure Ancestral Lord of the World of Death.
So far, the only person Yingxiong has seen is Cao Ya, who can be considered a true Ancestor of the Death Realm!
Even if he is only a War Ancestor!
"The so-called Ancestral God is an existence that has comprehended the fundamental divine laws of all heavens and myriad worlds. Whether there are myriad worlds in the heavens is uncertain, but it is likely that there are. These can be divided into subordinate worlds, ordinary worlds, and higher worlds. Currently, the only known higher worlds are the Primordial Heavenly Realm and the World of Death. The Nine Provinces and the Otherworld are ordinary worlds."
Before Cao Ya could finish speaking, people were astonished.
They could understand that the Primordial Heavenly Realm belonged to a higher world, but the World of Death...
"Although the Realm of the Dead is full of secrets, and there must be beings surpassing even kings guarding its deepest regions, to say that the Realm of the Dead can stand alongside the Primordial Heaven Realm based on this is rather... "
A group of half-ancestors were suspicious. Could it be that Cao Ya's status as a skeleton creature elevated the realm of the dead?
Even the people of the village of gods, who had lived for generations in the region outside the realm of the dead, looked at each other in disbelief.
Cao Yayan said that the Nine Provinces and the Otherworld were ordinary worlds, which was not unexpected for them.
After all, these two worlds certainly cannot be compared with the Primordial Heavenly Realm.
"The legendary Heavenly Realm, the center of all realms, high above, where countless ancestral gods contend. Even the Stone King and the Supreme Ancestral God at the Great Perfection level are said to be powerful beings at this level." Xiao Chen murmured. The Nine Provinces had once planned to seek help from the Heavenly Realm, but in the end, this plan had to come to nothing.
"Haha, if it weren't the center of all the heavens, it would indeed be difficult to become a higher world," Cao Ya laughed. "The current center of all worlds is the Primordial Heavenly Realm, but in the ancient times billions of years ago, the core of all the heavens was not the Primordial Heavenly Realm, but... the World of Death!"
"However, the ancient gods fought endless wars, and the Death Realm was once the site of countless battles. The deepest part of that region is the ancient battlefield, and the divine power left behind by the powerful beings still influences the Death Realm."
"As a result, the Primordial Heavenly Realm rose to prominence, replacing the Realm of Death, absorbing heroes from all heavens, and ascending to a higher level of world."
"In comparison, the Realm of the Dead has declined and is merely a mysterious and strange world in the legends of the heavens."
As he spoke, Cao Ya sighed deeply.
However, what everyone was concerned about was not the decline of the Death Realm or the rise of the Heaven Realm, but the ancient war of gods that Cao Ya had mentioned.
"The Primordial War? There's no point in talking about it; it's been billions of years. Besides, in that battle, let alone you, even I was just cannon fodder." Cao Ya shook his head and sighed, "The War Ancestor and the Ancestral God may seem powerful, but at times, they are quite powerless, no different from cannon fodder."
He added in his mind, "In the great war to come, the Ancestral God will be cannon fodder!"
Upon thinking of this, Cao Ya felt an intense sense of crisis.
The strength of the previous Heavenly Ancestors was truly insecure on the eve of such a magnificent era.
Even stone men and supreme ancestral gods are not entirely safe.
The minimum guarantee should be the Stone King and the Supreme Ancestral God at the Great Perfection level!
Ignoring the bewildered, curious, and astonished crowd, Cao Ya continued:
"Now that we've talked about the world, let's talk about cultivation."
"To become an Ancestral God, one must comprehend a fundamental divine law. The requirements for a Battle Ancestor are different. If one's physical body, spirit, and other spiritual qualities reach a certain limit, it is possible to possess the combat power of an Ancestral God and become a Battle Ancestor."
"But the highest level of the War Ancestor is the Ninth Heaven. After that, there is no possibility of ascending to the Stone King Road and the Supreme Ancestral God Road. The path ahead is cut off."
"If a genuine ancestral god possesses great comprehension, perseverance, and opportunity, it is highly likely that he will later become a stone man or an unparalleled ancestral god."
"Simply put, one can improve their understanding of laws, physical body, soul, supernatural powers, and combat skills."
"Choose one based on your individual strengths."
"The Stone Man and the Supreme Ancestral God are too far removed from the present. To become a War Ancestor is actually quite remarkable in the present context."
"Of course, it would be even better if we could prove our ancestral god status!"
Afterwards, Cao Ya also shared some of his insights, such as flames, souls, and body cultivation.
His ability to independently cultivate to the ninth level of the Half-Ancestor realm is no empty boast.
Subsequently, he also practiced many spells, such as the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, the Thunder Spirit Treasure Technique, the Grass Character Sword Technique, the Flower-Picking Smile, and the Dao Spreads Throughout the Universe.
Everyone listened with rapt attention, feeling they had benefited greatly, experiencing significant insights and progress in their understanding of cultivation levels, supernatural abilities, and combat skills.
At the same time, they were even more shocked. This Cao Ya War Ancestor from the Realm of Death knew far too much!
Even Xiao Chen, with his rich experience, was surprised by the Golden Divine Halberd and the Black Iron Seal, which were once the ancestral divine weapons.
"Cao Ya, it's been tens of thousands of years. Not only has your strength improved greatly, but even your eloquence... tsk tsk, has also made great progress."
Suddenly, the sky changed color, and several figures descended with a thunderous roar, their auras vast and sweeping across the heavens and earth.
