“If you knew the origin of the Divine Map, you wouldn’t say that,” Cao Ya shook his head.
"Ancestor Cao Yazhan, how exactly did this array diagram come about?" Xiao Chen asked, his heart stirred.
"You'll find out later," Cao Ya said, but she didn't answer.
The group exchanged glances, all feeling helpless.
Cao Ya smiled.
He knew very well that the Divine Diagram was born from oracle bone inscriptions and could be considered a royal-level treasure, a backup plan for ten royal-level ancestors of the Nine Provinces!
The battle sword was born from the eternal light source and appeared because of the divine diagram, but its rank was indeed much inferior to that of the divine diagram.
Eternal Light Source, the source of eternal light.
And the eternal light...
That thing is indeed precious!
More than ten ancestral gods perished in the same place, their consciousness dissipated, but their divine souls remained, intertwined, and burned together to form a divine light that can never be extinguished, known as the "Eternal Light"!
The source of the eternal light is extremely precious, and the forty-nine battle swords born from it are also quite valuable, far surpassing the ancestral divine weapons.
However, a single sword, without an array diagram, is definitely no match for a stone soldier.
Only battle formations can surpass ordinary stone soldiers!
Top-tier stone weapons, such as the Three Emperors Mirror and the Five Emperors Pagoda, are no less powerful than the combination of array diagrams and battle swords, and may even surpass them!
Of course, some sacred artifacts of the heavens, such as the Heavenly Stele, are also extremely powerful, comparable to top-tier stone weapons!
These items were specially crafted by the ten royal ancestors of Kyushu during their lifetimes, passed down for hundreds of millions of years, waiting for the right time to change.
The Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, Pangu, and Nuwa all desired the unification of all heavens, leaving no emperors or kings.
In this way, the lives of ordinary people will not be easily destroyed and turned to dust.
The mortal world should be a world for ordinary people, where they can control their own destiny, rather than becoming ants in the eyes of the strong, or food for them.
Cao Ya knew that the Ten Ancestors had passed away in the ancient times, unlike other Emperor-level experts who sought various methods to avoid the influence of the heavens and survive in the world.
Therefore, Cao Ya had no intention of claiming the divine diagram as his own.
The divine map chose Xiao Chen; that was Xiao Chen's destiny, and Cao Ya would not interfere.
After all, Xiao Chen had a good relationship with him.
"Boom..."
Just then, a deafening roar came from ahead. The six ancestral gods of the other world joined forces to unleash a thirty-three-story pagoda. Its divine light was dazzling, and the Great Dao surged, as if it bore the weight of all heavens, exuding an incomparably sacred aura.
The pagoda continued to grow larger, reaching the sky, and began to suppress this wild, ancient, and desolate world.
"Eeya eeya..." The snow-white little beast was nervous, very worried that its family's things had been destroyed by an expert from another world.
However, with a deafening roar, the mountains and rivers that had crumbled beneath the thirty-three-tiered pagoda, the sunken earth, and the torn sky were all revived under the ripples of time, as if they had never been destroyed.
Time flows like water, smoothing over everything.
Although they didn't see it with their own eyes, everyone knew that the expressions on the faces of those ancestral gods and demigods from the other world must have been quite interesting.
However, a group of people were also deeply shocked.
"Keke's family is far too terrifying!" Zhuge the Fat exclaimed in a low voice.
"Transcending time and space, what kind of ability is that? Even the Ancestral Gods don't possess it, so does the Stone Man? Or perhaps, Keke, one of your elders is an extremely powerful Supreme Ancestral God?!"
Even the usually unserious Jin Sanyi became serious at this moment, looking quite surprised.
"Keke's ancestor was so powerful that he could travel through time and space. Could it be that... he had already foreseen the arrival of the other world?" Sha Po Lang speculated.
Coco was both happy and quite bewildered.
To be honest, it doesn't know much more than anyone else.
It recognizes its father and mother, as well as the ancestor that people had mentioned more than ten years ago.
But it has never seen any of them with its own eyes!
Father and mother are merely projections and imprints.
Come to think of it, it was actually much more familiar with its mother's relatives, such as the Old Ancestor Dragon and the Little Stubborn Dragon.
Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly flickered.
He noticed that Cao Ya's expression was calm, yet it seemed as if he knew some great secret.
Then, recalling Cao Ya's occasional display of unfathomable wisdom, Xiao Chen wondered if Cao Ya, the War Ancestor, also had a clear understanding of Ke Ke's extraordinary family background.
As soon as Xiao Chen asked the question, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Cao Ya.
“I do know a little about it!” Cao Ya nodded, thought for a moment, and said succinctly, “The ‘Defying Heaven’ family actually has nothing to do with ‘defying heaven’. It’s just a cursed family that was once a human. Because of the curse, it takes the form of this ‘snow-white little beast’.”
"Cursed? Who cursed you?" Everyone was shocked and kept asking.
"Eeya..." Keke cried out. It was very satisfied with its current appearance. It would not like it if it turned into human form.
"Those kinds of beings are too powerful; it's best not to mention them." Cao Ya shook his head, thinking to himself that beings like the Purple Cloud Stone King were top-tier even in the King realm, and could kill ordinary Stone Kings, let alone someone like him who was only a Battle Ancestor.
They didn't even set foot on Shirenwang Road!
Seeing that everyone still looked curious and seemed to have many questions, Cao Ya scratched his head and changed the subject.
"Stop talking about that! Look, those otherworldly ancestral gods are about to encounter a formidable enemy!" Cao Ya pointed.
Rumble!!!
In the far distance, tsunamis roared and waves surged, with enormous spray rising high into the sky. The white, billowing air currents seemed to rival the heavens and the earth, engulfing the universe.
Deep within the ocean lurks an extremely terrifying aura.
Suddenly, a colossal fish, as majestic as an ancient divine mountain, leaped out of the water and transformed into a golden divine bird. Its wingspan stretched for thousands of miles, like clouds hanging from the sky, covering the heavens and earth, and its divine feathers turned the sky golden.
"The ancient ancestor of demonic birds—Kunpeng!" A cold voice from the otherworldly ancestral god rang out from ahead.
"Kunpeng? What's that?" Sha Polang asked blankly.
"Ignorant and incompetent!" Jin Sanyi said with disdain.
"You know?" Sha Po Lang asked in surprise.
"I don't know!" Jin Sanyi said, his voice both defiant and arrogant.
The wolf spirit's flames flickered, and my hands itched unbearably.
If they weren't in Paradise Lost, he would have already given Kim Sam-eok a dirty trick.
“I have a vague impression of it; I seem to have seen it somewhere before,” Zhuge Pangzi pondered. “It is said that the Kunpeng is an ancient ancestor of demonic birds, whose existence predates even the twelve zodiac war ancestors.”
"A powerful War Ancestor! It's a pity that he died at the hands of several Ancestral Gods who invaded from another world many years ago, and perished in a siege." Xiao Chen said with regret.
Cao Ya looked into the distance and suddenly saw the ancient Kunpeng roar, its voice cold and indifferent, as it faced the ancestral god of another world and engaged in fierce battle with him.
“Kunpeng…” Cao Ya began softly, as if filled with endless emotions, but in the end, he said nothing.
