Chapter 536 Postscript 2: The Ancestral Star
Lord Ye Han looked up at the tall tower in front of him with a dazed look on his face.
The structure of this tower is very simple. From a distance, it only has ten floors and reaches a height of 500 meters.
However, the closer we get, the more awe-inspiring the aura of the prehistoric world coming towards us from this tower.
When he reached the bottom of the tower, Ye Hanjun was suddenly startled.
In his eyes, the tower was over a hundred thousand feet tall. Every inch his eyes moved upward, the tower continued to grow taller, as if he would never be able to see the top of the tower.
"Is this the legendary "One Tongtian"? "Ye Hanjun sighed.
In the legends of the heavens and the world, there have always been countless such things as the Nine Seas, the Eight Mountains, and the Seven Abyss.
But when it comes to Sanchi, Ermen and Yitongtian, there are only a few relevant clues.
Especially for this "Tongtian Spirit Pagoda", Ye Hanjun couldn't find the answer even if he asked the gods.
In the end, it was only by virtue of its identity as the pillar of heaven that it was able to lock its position after all the hard work.
This place - strictly speaking, belongs to the very edge of the world!
This is an area beyond the reach of divine power. Without the protection of the world's will, trying to peek into the tip of the iceberg would be a daydream.
"Tadpole, I'm really looking forward to this trip!"
Guagua, whose shoulders turned into Buddhist scripture frogs, was filled with excitement:
"This is an invitation from our ancestors! It's exciting to think about traveling with them in the Land of Nirvana!"
“But I’m not ready for total detachment yet.”
Ye Hanjun tapped Guagua's belly and spoke calmly:
"According to what Minggu Jingshen said, the God of the Spirits can only go to that world if he chooses to transcend."
"I hold the title of human race. I am favored by the will of chaos. I am more favored by the current world than the clan of spirits."
"So if you only go once, you seem to have the right to turn back."
"This journey may be too hasty and I won't be able to enjoy it to the fullest."
"Enough is enough!"
Guagua shook his head happily:
"Just go and see the world, I'm not ready to be detached either!"
"After all, there are so many friends in the real world. They go to the Sun Abyss to plant plants, go to the Heaven Realm to train the bird babies, and go to the Desire Realm to visit the little wanderers... There is so much fun that I can't even keep myself busy!"
"Be careful that future history books describe you as the 'god of mischief'."
Ye Hanjun pinched the little guy's chin, and while joking, he adjusted his clothes and slowly opened the tower door in front of him.
"Zhiqua——"
There was no dust on the door and it was effortless to push it open.
But Ye Hanjun still sensed that there was some kind of existence watching him.
There was also a kind of lawful fluctuation full of tearing flavor, which was hanging over his head and might land at any time.
"Son of the world, you are here."
The plain voice echoed in the soul out of thin air, like a dragonfly touching water, stopping at the touch.
Ye Hanjun raised his eyebrows, his title changed again?
Son of the world...this is really a strange description.
"As you can see, the Tongtian Spirit Tower was actually built by us."
"Its only function is to connect to the outer world, and it is the intersection point between the world of sentient beings and the outer world."
"No matter what you see or hear later, when you return to the world of spirits, you must treat it as if you don't know, otherwise you may lose your identity as the pillar of heaven..."
The plain voice babbled and explained.
Ye Hanjun listened quietly, not missing any detail, for fear of making a low-level mistake.
"Okay, I'll ask "Chuan" to pick you up. Just relax and don't resist. "
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of circles of runes lit up in the empty tower.
There was a pair of eyes vaguely opening and closing in mid-air, and then, Ye Hanjun saw a stream flowing from top to bottom, as light as a ribbon.
After wrapping around his waist, he lifted it gently, and instantly, the surroundings were filled with lightning, and the environment changed drastically.
"vomit……"
Guagua, who mastered space magic, felt his stomach churn and his head felt dizzy.
Ye Hanjun endured the urge to faint, remembered Jingshen's instructions, relaxed his muscles little by little, and tried to keep his mind as clear-headed as possible.
For a long time, there seemed to be water splashing down my ears.
Ye Hanjun opened his eyes and froze on the spot.
It was difficult for him to use words to describe the scene he saw. Between the stars shining, the sky and the earth were infinitely vast.
Some areas are very empty, while others are very crowded.
The dark whirlpool was lined up, and it was unknown where it was leading, and everyone had a creepy sense of crisis, which was terrifying.
"Welcome to the outer world, this is the first stop, we call it the 'first entrance'."
The speaker was right next to him. Lord Yehan turned his head and saw a stream.
This stream is obviously only a hundred meters wide, but it coils around a planet, like an extremely thin python.
His body is composed of light blue water, and the sound of thousands of horses galloping can be heard in the rapid rush.
Listening carefully, I felt that it was an illusion. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and it was always so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
"I am "Kawa". "
The extremely thin python spit out a snake letter, and looked at Lord Ye Han with deep blue eyes:
"Child of the World? Interesting."
"Go, Jing is waiting for you. As the most orthodox human leader in the lower world, you have the right to know the secrets of the world."
Ye Hanjun blinked, but before he could speak, a stream of water pushed him from behind, pushing him into a whirlpool in the blink of an eye.
"Shua!!"
When Ye Hanjun opened his eyes again, it felt like a long time had passed, and there was fatigue deep in his soul.
The appearance of the surroundings changed again, this time it was pitch black.
Ye Hanjun was convinced that even his eyes could not see ten meters away. This kind of experience that was beyond the scope of his abilities was destined to inspire a strong sense of crisis.
"Wow~~~"
A beam of orange light fell on his body, which was very warm.
The uneasiness and panic lingering in my heart were gradually suppressed, and the situation seemed to be back under control.
Ye Hanjun looked at the top of his head in surprise. There was a lamp there, and the flames it ignited took the shape of a cat's paw, which was extremely special.
It is so big that there is no obvious difference from the planet we just saw. It is rooted in darkness, spectacular, mysterious, and beautiful, and people can't help but want to get closer.
"This is "Light". "
"For some reasons, he died temporarily. We moved his body over and used it as a light source for the time being."
"temporary?"
Ye Hanjun hadn't found the speaker yet, so he subconsciously asked.
"Well, it is estimated that He still has a 10% chance of being resurrected. Whether it can happen or not depends on His creation."
Under the orange cat-paw headlight, a little deer kicked its hooves, looking at the void as flat ground, and walked leisurely over.
Guagua's eyes immediately straightened, staring at the snow-white deer, and he almost jumped with excitement:
"Ancestor?!"
"Why are you smaller than Ben Gua's body? Did you use the magic of transformation, or are you just that big? So cute!"
"Little one..."
Snow Deer stopped, and there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes full of wisdom:
"Honestly, I've tolerated you for a long time."
"Am I very old? Do you have to call me ancestor? Can't you think of other names?"
"Then...Sister Jing?"
Guagua's mind was quick, his brain turned around, and he blurted out.
"This works!"
Xue Lu showed a teachable expression and was about to give a compliment or two.
In the dead darkness, a brush came quickly, touched the void, and drew a huge word "surprise", as if there were blood flowing.
"Jing, let's get some food."
"They are all old monsters that are more than 400,000 years old. Sister, my scalp feels numb when I hear them!"
"What, you have an opinion?"
Xuelu stared at the brush, with his raised chin and threatening eyes, which were extremely oppressive.
"Of course...no!"
Da Mao Bi changed the topic and said earnestly while circling the snow deer:
"Look, I seem to be born a few seconds later than you."
"If I call you sister, will you agree?"
"roll."
The snow deer raised its front hoof and kicked it hard. The big brush immediately jumped up and down, begging for its life.
"..."
Ye Hanjun and Gua Gua entered the state of petrification in a tacit understanding.
It seems that the ancient ancestors still have a childish innocence to some extent.
They are completely different from the aloof postures imagined. Even if they transcend the outer world, they still have a deep bond with each other, and the friendship between them cannot be severed.
"Okay, what's the ethos of such a fight?"
A distorted mist of light slowly flew in, and instantly transformed into a human form, which was exactly the same as Lord Ye Han.
When Ye Hanjun was face to face with Him, he felt like looking into a mirror, which was quite subtle.
"I am "phantom". "
Mirror Ye Hanjun nodded and said straight to the point:
"This time I invite you to come to Tianwai, mainly because I want you to understand one thing."
"Are you puzzled as to why we don't want to return to the lower realm and personally stop the mischief? "
"It's very simple. Once we arrive, it will only overwhelm the lower world and intensify the destruction."
"Secondly, we don't have much sense of belonging to the lower world. Although we were born there, our origins are different after all, and what we desire in our hearts are different."
Mirror Ye Hanjun had no expression on his face, paused, and continued in a statement of fact:
"The ancient Tianzun wants to rule the lower world, but we, the first generation of the ancient world, just want to know why the ancestral star is ruined and why we are sent to another world to survive."
"Ancestral Star?"
Ye Hanjun noticed the new keywords.
Thinking of what he saw and heard in the fantasy, he tentatively asked:
"Does it mean your true birthplace, that is, the place where the origin has not yet been given to the current world?"
"Um."
Huan nodded, and with a thought in his mind, a beam of orange light shone into the distance:
"We call our original world 'Ancestral Star'."
"We have been looking for it since we arrived in the outer space. We got clues at the end of the Late Archaic Era. We found it during the Cenozoic Era, right here."
Ye Hanjun listened, glanced at him, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
The warm light is vast and boundless, growing forward, and an eternal light path is paved in an instant.
In that final dark place, there seemed to be a broken star, scattering dazzling light like diamonds.
"This is the Ancestral Star, which has been destroyed."
Jing came over and led Ye Hanjun and Guagua onto the light path, with a slightly lonely expression:
"The Ancestral Star is far more prosperous than your world. When it was at its peak, it was like the gap between the gods above and the sacred beasts, no more than the abyss of heaven."
"There are currently two speculations. One is that a shocking battle broke out here, and the Ancestral Star was violently destroyed."
"Another way of saying it is that the life of the ancestral star has come to an end, and it has turned from extreme prosperity to extreme decline. Some of the remaining origins have escaped, and some have taken bloodline seeds like ours to visit other worlds and find the soil for habitat again. "
Mo snorted and said warmly:
"We prefer the latter."
"There are clues that the remaining origin is divided into at least five parts. Maybe there are life forms similar to us in other planes and spaces."
"But, the description of the outer world is too general."
"It is extremely difficult for us to find the Ancestral Star. If we want to discover other large planes with life, I don't know whether it will take hundreds of thousands or millions of years. Whether we can survive until then is still unknown. If you expect too much, you will be easily disappointed. ”
"But -" Mo changed the topic again, "We still made a major discovery!"
"Before we found the Ancestral Star, there were already travelers from other planes who had been here!"
A series of words "ji" were written in ink, and the long light path reached the end point instantly.
Ye Hanjun opened his eyes wide. This is the closest position to the Broken Ancestral Star.
Looking at the fragments of the magnificent world at close range, unconsciously shaking back and forth, I feel as small as dust, which I haven't seen for a long time but is real.
"Kacha!"
Huan stretched out his arm, extending infinitely, and suddenly reached into the fragments, grabbed a smaller one, and dragged it out with force.
He said that He has the power to make all your wishes come true.
But this process was still extremely difficult. Divine light surged in the darkness one after another. Mo, Jing, and other Hades rulers who were dormant in the darkness came to help and worked together to help.
"Whoops!"
The fragments were finally pulled out.
Its shape is a bit like a half-pillar, with many patterns carved on it. Some supreme being once touched it with the palm of its hand and left traces on it.
"Shadow, come here."
Phantom handed the fragment to another black shadow.
Black shadows squirm, seemingly shrouded in darkness, but in fact colorful splendor is growing.
"Wow~~~"
Ye Hanjun saw a scene he would never forget.
It was a piece of ruins, and the former was suspected to be a building like a palace courtyard. Even if it collapsed, it still retained 20 to 30% of its grandeur when it was intact.
There was a group of powerful creatures standing there.
The most exaggerated one is undoubtedly a divine ape with a giant dragon's horn on its head, its eyes spurting blazing flames, its body covered in dragon scales, and its muscles pumping.
His shoulders can hold up the sky, his head can look straight at the stars, and his eight arms can control the world. With one roar, thunder rolls from the sky, and with two roars, the four poles are toppled in all directions.
There are also two divine angels. Although they only have twelve wings on their backs, they are not as good as divine canons at first glance.
But one of them carries glazed wings on his back and holds a sword in his hand.
The sound of the sword rings my ears, wanting to shatter the sky.
The sword energy is surging, and the proud posture is clearly visible.
The other one is the ultimate condensation of darkness and depravity.
No light can be reflected from his body, and any colorful color that touches the edge of his domain will be obliterated.
He is too cold and stagnant in the void. He seems to be the Lord of heaven and earth and the source of all evil.
Guagua couldn't help but shiver, and quickly passed him and looked at the next creature.
The fourth one is a bone dragon!
His dragon soul is golden in color, more dazzling than the rising sun, but it emits a ghostly and cold air!
Around Him, the river of samsara surges and roars.
He is surrounded by all kinds of strange undead monarchs. There is no doubt that he is the absolute king, in charge of the law of death, and is a veritable god of the undead!
The fifth one is a big praying mantis!
Half of his body is red, and the other half is blue. He holds a sickle in his hand and stands deep in the void.
The thunder calamity hung above his head, while the sea of thunder flowed under his feet. The surrounding space collapsed, forming a supreme world of its own.
This is still not all, Lord Yehan looked at the sixth god.
It was a tree, with six roulette wheels floating behind it, six colors: gold, purple, blood red, pitch black, deep blue, and pale.
They each correspond to a certain law and are combined with each other to give the tree a boundless and profound sense of déjà vu. They are objects that must not be desecrated.
The seventh statue is a unicorn stepping on the red lotus fire.
The eighth figure bathes in the river of time, and is suspected to be a goddess of the witch clan.
The ninth figure is a rat with a beer belly.
The tenth figure is unusually petite and curled up into the shape of a stone tablet, making it difficult for Lord Ye Han to recognize it.
But the eleventh statue was very eye-catching. After Guagua noticed it, his eyes widened and he never looked away.
It was a very large little rabbit, with white pupils and a hint of rose gold.
He is very cute and elegant. He is clearly standing among a bunch of ferocious beasts. He looks cute and has a completely different style of painting.
What's even more amazing is that every time he blinks, the stars in the sky are twinkling. Guagua is stunned by the extreme beauty!
"GuluGulu...who is this? Cuter than our ancestors!"
"His screams are so nice, and I'm almost adorable!"
Guagua puffed up her cheeks, feeling envious and curious.
"They are the contracted life forms of the White Emperor. In their world, they seem to be called 'pet beasts'."
Huan pointed at the image of the human man who was drinking tea with his back to them. He spoke concisely and pointed out the center:
"He is the White Emperor."
"Although he can't see his appearance clearly, there is no doubt that he can leave traces here and his own strength has reached its peak."
"We investigated the remaining clues in detail and finally concluded that this person is probably a plane traveler who once came to the ancestral star and left again after witnessing the dilapidation and decline of the ancestral star."
Jing nodded, with a gentle smile in his eyes:
"How's it going? Are you tempted?"
"Besides the world, there is also Tianwai, and Tianwai is a very broad description, referring to the collection of all planes."
"Beyond the time and space that is so far away that it is unimaginable, there are beast-controlling civilizations similar to the spirits and humans, and there is probably more than one, with countless possibilities."
"Son of the world, after you have dealt with the affairs of the world and cut off the thoughts of the world, think carefully about whether you want to join us in finding a more glorious and brilliant world."
"Becoming stronger is just a process, not a goal."
"We want to contact a wider world, explore the unknown, understand the mystery, and gain insight into the truth."
"This is what we, the so-called rulers of Hades, are currently doing..."
…
Lord Yehan was silent for a long time.
It would be false to say that I don't yearn for it. The description of the completely different beast-controlling civilization is really too attractive.
However, the seeds of faith have been planted. When they will sprout is another story... (End of this chapter)
