The Ten Ancestors were born. They overcame the ancient and illuminated the past and present. Standing on the plateau with imposing figures, endless strange and ominous auras radiated from their bodies.
"Danger awakens us from slumber, and palpitations unsettle our souls. Variables will affect our festival..." An ancestor's voice echoed from the trembling ancient coffin. His eyes swept across the thousands of worlds, filling all creatures with bewilderment and terror.
The ten Immortal Emperor-level strange creatures bowed their heads, unable to meet the dull, piercing gaze of this ancestor. At the same time, they were horrified. What variable could unsettle the Ten Ancestors enough to wake them from slumber?
"The variable is Huang," another ancestor said. They had deduced everything: the variables were all connected to the famine. This person who had entangled and slain countless generations with them.
"Huang is indeed powerful, unprecedented in strength. He destroyed the source of darkness, became an Immortal Emperor in the Age of Apocalypse, and with a single sword tore open the barrier of the Immortal Domain, making it a pure land uncorrupted by the strange and unknown. For countless eras, he fought me and nearly fatally wounded me. Without the ancestral land's protection and my infinite rebirths, I would have fallen into his hands."
Another ancestor spoke, having battled Huang Sha the longest, understanding his terror firsthand. Despite being enemies, Huang's strength and talent surpassed past, present, and future—he even disdained the Xuanhuang universe.
After countless epochs, in the heavens and myriad worlds, no one could rival Huang.
"Yes, Huang is one of our trusted foes, but what truly causes my heart to palpitate is not Huang alone," said another ancestor in a deep voice. The rest nodded. Just Huang would not cause them serious trouble. For countless epochs, Huang fought and only maintained a balance, sometimes retreating with grave injuries.
Three ancestors alone could suppress Huang's breath. If all Ten Great Ancestors appeared together, it would be no more than a trivial illness, easily wiped away.
"One leaf shrouding the heavens, another variable must be Ye Di," an ancestor said indifferently.
"Emperor Ye?" The others narrowed their eyes. Since his enlightenment under Huang, Emperor Ye's strength matched the first ancestor's, similar to Huang's. For countless epochs, the Ye Emperor—claiming to be the Heavenly Emperor suppressing all enemies—had caused much trouble. He was second only to the Wild Emperor.
"Even Emperor Ye alone is not enough to unsettle me."
At that moment, among the Ten Ancestors, one with red hair and the most ominous aura spoke.
"Huang or Ye Di, no matter how strong, lack the power to destroy the ancestral land. As long as the ancestral land stands, they can be resurrected infinitely and pose no real harm."
The head of the first ancestor stared expressionless into the boundless sky. In his ancient, murky black eyes ran endless evolving laws, vertical and horizontal rules, time-space passages, and the long rivers of worlds.
"I sense beyond the heavens and the worlds, beyond our time and laws, a being like me watching us. That being is the true variable—the world of the universe, Daluo Shenshan."
Shen Lian, seated on a throne carved with a black bird, suddenly narrowed his eyes. His gaze collided silently with the first ancestor's head in the picture of the Golden List of All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
How terrifying was this? The video displayed by the heavens and worlds was only a future reflection by the system—something not yet happened but destined to occur. The Ten Great Ancestors and others in this video could not see the video itself, but the first ancestor ignored past and future, time and space, and telepathically sensed Shen Lian's gaze purely by intuition.
This had nothing to do with strength but was an intuition of a peak powerhouse—a guess about the world of Karma.
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, silent. He admitted he had underestimated the heavens' powerhouses. This ancestor was like him, completely surpassing the Great Emperor Realm.
"I don't know if this ancestor has achieved detachment," Shen Lian exhaled deeply.
Detachment was a great realm Shen Lian had pioneered, walking paths his predecessors never dared. Far beyond the Great Emperor.
If these Ten Great Ancestors reached a state of detachment like Shen Lian, then the heavens and worlds were doomed.
This was Shen Lian's recent discovery. The barriers between the Realm Sea and Great Universe were fading. The heavens and worlds' barriers began loosening.
Perhaps one day, heavens and myriad worlds would truly connect, their powerhouses meeting and learning from one another—not just empty talk.
For example, Wang Nixian of Brilliant Heaven Realm could contend with Luo Feng of Hongmeng Palace. Wang Li Baye could face Wang Chen Nanxuan, and so on.
On that day, the heavens and worlds would become bright and lively.
But this also brought great crisis. If these Ten Ancestors truly reached Shen Lian's detachment, their emergence would be an ominous catastrophe. Most worlds might be destroyed and turned into dark realms.
"I have to pick up my pace and get stronger..." Shen Lian's face grew dignified.
The heavens and worlds rankings inventory was ending. Soon, a decisive battle with the dark world opposite Jihai would come.
Besides, who knew if his world harbored such titans as the Ten Great Ancestors?
Even if Shen Lian wiped out all enemies of heavens and worlds, so what? He remembered the system's early prompt: this inventory was only a large world inventory from one to nine-star peak.
Could there be a higher world?
"The great chaos world approaches. The future is uncertain. All I can do is strengthen myself. Only when I am strong can I face all without fear and sweep enemies of ancient and modern times!"
In Shen Lian's eyes, a divine light flickered constantly.
