Chapter 845: Four Ancient G.o.dsTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Jiao Xiu returned from the colosseum, he went through the main hall’s gate.
After entering, he closed the large gate and walked to the chair at the main seat. He sat down on it and pressed a deeply concealed push b.u.t.ton under the chair. Instantly, a hole appeared under the main seat and Jiao Xiu began to fall down with the chair.
He fell through a pa.s.sage that seemed endless. Only after a long time had pa.s.sed did a bright light come from underneath and the chair smashed into pieces. Jiao Xiu slowly floated down after it. The place which he had reached was a completely sealed cave. At the top of it, countless night pearls were embedded.
A gate created from black metal was in front of Jiao Xiu. There were two small peac.o.c.k lamps in front of it.
The cave, which was the destination of the secret pathway through the main hall, was the region where the ancestor of Morrow Clan was in seclusion. Only sufficient distance and the large door created from black metal could obstruct the ancient G.o.d presence from emitting out.
Jiao Xiu half knelt on the ground and said to the closed large door, “Ancestor, G.o.d father has sensed something!”
There was no reply from behind the large door at first. After a moment though, the thick black metal door opened, and a presence which was much more formidable than that of a G.o.d erupted.
“Come in,” an aged voice called out.
Jiao Xiu stood up and went through the large door. After entering, he saw another, smaller cave. The inside of it was illuminated by night pearls like the outside. There was only a stone bed in the cave and a pet.i.te man lying on it. He wore a sackcloth and looked very ordinary.
When he heard the sound of footsteps, he stood up from the stone bed, revealing his delicate face and white skin like that of an eighteen or nineteen year old. He seemed to be in his youth, his appearance only slightly different from that of Asura.
“Speak, what has G.o.d father discovered?”
A voice, inconsistent with his age, spoke from the youth’s mouth. It belonged to an old man who had seen all aspects of life and society.
Jiao Xiu glanced at the ancestor sitting on the stone bed and sensed the ancient G.o.d presence emitted from his body that had become even more powerful. It brought a sense of security appeared, and he narrated things as they stood.
“A branch family descendant from my clan was adopted as the sixth son by G.o.dfather. He raised that branch family descendant’s cultivation to that of a G.o.d and later when I went to city lord’s mansion to enquire with Lord Ashbi, lord told me…”
“Told you what?” the Morrow Clan’s ancestor asked with a frown when Jiao Xiu stopped speaking.
“He told me that the reason why G.o.d father raised the cultivation of that branch family descendant and bestowed the position of ancestor to him is to keep our four clans in check. Lord Ashbi also said that G.o.d father has only done this because he is resentful about the matter of stolen power of belief. He did this to show the four great clans that anything he has given, he can take it back.”
After Jiao Xiu finished speaking, he saw that the ancestor was frowning, and felt somewhat panicked in his heart. But he could not understand why the four ancestors were afraid of G.o.d father. After all, they had already become ancient G.o.ds by relying on the stolen power of belief. Regardless of how formidable G.o.d father was, he was still an ancient G.o.d. Given their higher numbers, they should be able to make G.o.d father fear them.
Then why did the four ancestors go into hiding when G.o.d father descended and refused to come out?
Morrow Clan’s ancestor sunk into deep contemplation, then asked, “Anything else happened?”
“Yes.” Jiao Xiu took a deep breath and nervousness appeared on his face. “That sixth ancestor sealed the cultivations of three young masters and four great elders before throwing them into the colosseum as fighters. He even used his divine energy to raise the cultivation of the vicious beasts to devil beasts to kill them.Because of that, we were forced to attack that sixth ancestor with an intent to kill. But unfortunately, at the last moment…”
“At the last moment, G.o.d father appeared, right?”
Without waiting for Jiao Xiu to finish, Morrow Clan’s ancestor opened his mouth. After saying that, he suddenly smiled and turned the topic to Chen Xiu, “Sixth brother recognized by G.o.d father is very clever, his methods and schemes are extremely profound.”
When Jiao Xiu saw that ancestor did not blame them, he heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. Then he immediately asked a question which had been bugging him from the start, “Ancestor, since G.o.d father has already sensed what’s happened, why don’t our four great clans launch a joint counter attack? If the four ancestors join hands, G.o.d father will certainly have to fear us.”
“Join hands?” Morrow Clan’s ancestor mumbled. “If we could’ve dealt with G.o.d father by joining hands, then we would’ve done so long ago and wouln’t have to hide underground, pa.s.sing our days without seeing sunlight. The instant G.o.d father descended, we sensed that we aren’t his opponent. We thought that G.o.d father hadn’t sensed us, but alas…” Morrow Clan’s ancestor explained with a smile.
He then formed a semi circle in the air with his hand, and a pure white pearl appeared above it. The instant it appeared, Jiao Xiu sensed that it was power of belief. When he realized that, he took a deep breath and a fire appeared in his eyes.
Every living creature generated power of belief. After a large amount of it was gathered, it would take the form of strands. After those strands of power of belief were gathered, they would solidify into a ball of light. Usually the four clans would receive power of belief in terms of b.a.l.l.s of light from the city lord’s mansion.
It was the most standard type of power of belief.
The power of belief in ancestor’s hand had already taken the shape of a pearl, which meant that countless b.a.l.l.s of power of belief were gathered within it. Jiao Xiu did not know how much would one be able to rise in strength after using it.
Jiao Xiu snapped back to reality soon, and his complexion turned pale. He anxiously said, “You cannot, ancestor. Once this power of belief enters your body, I fear that G.o.d father will immediately sense it.”
“He has sensed me long ago. If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have adopted a branch family descendant as a sixth brother. If I don’t absorb it now, then what’s the use of this power of belief?”
The ancestor of Morrow Clan swallowed the power of belief. The next instant, a faint light spread out from his abdomen, and soon, his whole body was surrounded by the power of belief. The presence of an ancient G.o.d erupted from his body and smashed open the black metal gate which was capable of hiding presence.
The ancient G.o.d presence gradually began to boil like a pot of water on the stove.
When Morrow Clan’s ancestor began to refine the power of belief condensed into a pearl, the unstable ancient G.o.d presence instantly erupted forth and smashed through the stone wall above him, going all the way up to the mansion. All the elders and descendants of the Morrow Clan saw it, and excitement appeared on their faces.
All of Asura City could sense that ancient G.o.d presence.
A moment later, similar ancient G.o.d presences soared into the heavens from the other three clans. They were all open and without restraint. When Ashbi kneeling in the city lord’s mansion sensed that ancient G.o.d presence, his expression turned ugly, and he fell on the ground paralyzed.
“What’s the benefit of declaring war on G.o.d father? It is certain death. You four, you are just courting death.”
Outside the Morrow Clan, Asura wearing a white gown raised his head and looked at the sky. He smiled after sensing the wild presences.
“Couldn’t wait to revolt?”
