Chapter 2209: 2209 Chapter 2209: The Demon Ancestor Above, Bless My Clan The Human Emperor, who was once Xiao Zhantian, had many conversations with Lin Moyu. From him, Lin Moyu felt his deep love for the human race and his sincere heart in protecting it. In his era, it was the darkest time for the human race. At that time, the human race was almost finished. If it weren’t for him, there would no longer be a human race. The later War God Temple and other human forces inherited his will and worked hard for the revival of the human race. Xiao Zhantian also split himself into two, using the Law Star River as the foundation, integrating his talent to evolve into Star Elder. He himself merged with technological artifacts, becoming the Human Emperor Network. It can be said that he gave everything for the human race, exhausting all his efforts. The current prosperity of the human race is as he wished, and his efforts were not in vain. He saved the human race from peril and protected it for tens of thousands of years, giving his all. If it weren’t for the limitations of the Great World, if he had been born in ancient times, with Xiao Zhantian’s talent, he would have likely become a Heavenly Sovereign. To this, Lin Moyu could only sigh, what a pity! Time and fate are so peculiar. Lin Moyu left the core of the Human Emperor Network, pondering Xiao Zhantian’s words. This world is full of wonders. Xiao Zhantian ventured into the World Sea many times and saw many miraculous things. The World Sea is not safe, and Xiao Zhantian almost perished several times. Beyond the Great World, there is a broader universe, and what Xiao Zhantian saw was just a drop in the ocean. Lin Moyu had long sensed this. He had only been to the World Sea for ten minutes and already realized the insignificance of the Great World. The small world where he was born was equally peculiar. Thinking back, everything inside seemed deliberate. It was as if an invisible hand was orchestrating everything from behind the scenes. Lin Moyu felt too weak, not qualified to explore these questions. Facing the impending Battle Realm and the ever-watchful Buddhist clan, the Human Emperor felt the crisis. In his words, there was a hint of helplessness. Perhaps due to his integration with technological artifacts, his emotions were stable, with few fluctuations. But Lin Moyu could still sense his worry about the future. The reason the Human Emperor told Lin Moyu these things was mainly that he placed his hope on Lin Moyu. Not just the hope of the human race, but also the hope of the Great World. He had strategized for the human race for tens of thousands of years, seeing countless geniuses, but Lin Moyu was one of the only two he couldn’t fathom, the other being Lin Mohan. The Human Emperor instinctively felt that if anyone could save the Great World, it would be Lin Moyu and his sister. Outside the Divine City Star Region, an ancient ruin floated like a mist. Its shape resembled a finger, left behind by the ancient rune warriors created by the Rune Heavenly Sovereign. The ancient rune warriors completely collapsed in the end, with most of the ancient runes being obliterated and a few falling into the Divine City Star Region, evolving into various secret realms. Only this finger remained relatively intact, becoming an extremely dangerous ancient ruin. There are many ancient ruins, such as the Sword Realm and the Cloud Mist Sect’s inheritance site. These ancient ruins are not particularly dangerous, and the human race has explored all of them. After tens of thousands of years of exploration, the human race finally defined six ancient ruins as extremely dangerous, where even a Saint Sovereign would face life-threatening danger. The broken finger of the ancient rune warrior outside the Divine City Star Region is one of them. A space gate appeared, and Lin Moyu flew out, taking two steps to arrive outside the ancient ruin. The ancient ruin is usually a forbidden zone, not allowing anyone to enter. It is covered by formations controlled by the Human Emperor Network, and only with its permission can one enter. In the past thousand years, only the Heavenly Saint Sovereign had entered once, gaining nothing and even getting injured. When Lin Moyu arrived, the formation automatically opened a passage for him, as if welcoming him. Standing outside the ruin, Lin Moyu carefully sensed its aura. This ruin has a name, called the Finger Ruin. The Finger Ruin is shrouded in mist, which appears thin but is impenetrable by any means. The Finger Ruin is enormous, with a height of 70 light-years and a width of 10 light-years. From Lin Moyu’s position, he couldn’t see the end. Based on calculations, the ancient rune warrior’s height exceeded 1,500 light-years, and a single slap could destroy multiple star systems. To many, this is an unbelievable existence. Lin Moyu once thought so too, but after receiving the Rune Heavenly Sovereign’s inheritance, he learned the origin of the ancient rune warriors. Their size wasn’t initially that large. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶 The Rune Heavenly Sovereign used space rune formations, not just one but many, to expand their size and enhance their power. In fact, when the Rune Heavenly Sovereign created them, their height was less than 100,000 meters. After sensing for a while, Lin Moyu smiled, "As expected, he came here!" After the ancient war, the Rune Heavenly Sovereign visited the Divine City Star Region and entered several secret realms, including the Finger Ruin. Even after so many years, a trace of the Rune Heavenly Sovereign’s aura still lingered. Lin Moyu couldn’t guess the Rune Heavenly Sovereign’s purpose for coming here. He wouldn’t come for no reason; a Heavenly Sovereign wouldn’t be so idle. Their actions always had a purpose. "Based on the secret realms, although the Finger Ruin has enough runes and is relatively dangerous, it shouldn’t be this dangerous." "It should have something to do with the Rune Heavenly Sovereign. He must have done something inside, greatly increasing the ruin’s danger." "But while increasing the danger, he must have left something behind." Lin Moyu speculated based on his understanding of the Rune Heavenly Sovereign. The Rune Heavenly Sovereign was very particular about balance, much like runes. If he made the ruin more dangerous, he would certainly leave corresponding treasures to balance it. "Danger and opportunity coexist. Perhaps there will be gains!" Lin Moyu took a step forward and entered the ancient ruin. The mist rolled, space began to distort, and the long-silent ancient ruin welcomed a new visitor. In the demon clan’s ancestral land, three Saint Sovereigns returned. They brought their clansmen in warships, each bringing 100,000, totaling 300,000. The Soul Devouring Demon Sovereign’s voice was low and filled with reluctance, "Demon Lord, do we really have to leave?" The Demon Lord sat there, controlling the dried corpse, "Go, leave a spark for the demon clan." "It won’t be long before the human race arrives. Even if you reach the outer domain, it won’t necessarily be safe." "When the time comes, you three must separate and go to different places. Perhaps in the future, there will be a chance." The Demon Lord activated the altar, which ignited with blazing flames, and a vast power surged from it, distorting space. The altar was accumulating power to open a portal to the outer domain. Three clusters of demon fire appeared on the Demon Lord’s body, flying into the hands of the three Saint Sovereigns, "This is the origin fire of the demon clan. As long as it exists, there is hope for the demon clan!" "We lost this battle, but we have won before." "The human race’s luck won’t always be this good. One day, we will have a chance." "Go, disperse in the outer domain and wait for the opportunity." "Ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, a million years, don’t rush." The portal above the altar finally opened, and the aura of the outer domain surged in. The Soul Devouring Demon Sovereign, Hell Demon Sovereign, and Lava Demon Sovereign bowed to the Demon Lord and left with their clansmen. After they left, the portal closed, but the flames on the altar did not extinguish. The Demon Lord controlled the dried corpse to walk into the flames, murmuring, "Demon Ancestor above, bless my clan through this calamity." The Demon Lord controlled the dried corpse, standing motionless in the flames. The flames seeped into the dried corpse, and this corpse, dead for countless years, began to show signs of life.
