“The Ancestral Stele is an incredibly precious treasure even within chaos. Not just , but even those at the Grand Dao Realm desire to obtain it. However, the Ancestral Stele isn’t sothing that can be obtained by an individual. It remains in the place where it was born, and no one can take it away. Even Dao Ancestors at the Harmony Realm cannot take it,” murmured True Monarch Hidden God.
“I don’t understand!” True Monarch Luanghai and the others shook their heads, still not fully comprehending.
“You are aware of the True Ancestors at the Grand Dao Realm and the Dao Ancestors at the Harmony Realm, correct?” asked True Monarch Hidden God.
“Of course, we know!” True Monarch Luanghai and the others showed expressions of envy and longing.
“Although True Ancestors are rare within chaos, their numbers aren’t insignificant. However, Dao Ancestors at the Harmony Realm are exceedingly few. So heaven-defying True Ancestors, whose combat strength is sufficient to kill weaker Dao Ancestors, still cannot beco Dao Ancestors. The reason is that they cannot achieve Harmony. Without Harmony, they cannot beco Dao Ancestors.
Harmony involves perfectly rging a self-consolidated Dao with oneself. This step is extrely difficult. If relying solely on oneself, it is impossible to achieve, but it can be done with the help of one thing: the Ancestral Stele!”
“What? The Ancestral Stele can enable a Grand Dao Realm expert to beco a Dao Ancestor?” True Monarch Luanghai’s expression changed dramatically, revealing looks of incredulity.
They finally realized the importance of the Ancestral Stele, recognizing it as an opportunity that could incite a great deal of conflict.
“Doesn’t that an a group of True Ancestor experts will soon arrive here?” True Monarch Luanghai asked worriedly.
“No, that won’t happen,” True Monarch Hidden God shook his head. “Even if Grand Dao experts paid a heavy price, they might enter so universes, but the universe where the Ancestral Stele is located cannot be entered, even by Dao Ancestors. The Ancestral Stele strengthens the rules of the universe, and one must follow its rules to enter.”
“If True Ancestors can’t enter, how can they use the Ancestral Stele to beco Dao Ancestors?” The True Monarchs were imnsely curious.
“You know that a Grand Universe can accommodate Destiny Realm experts,” True Monarch Hidden God said. “And when a Grand Universe further evolves, it becos a Dao World. Any universe that births an Ancestral Stele has the potential to beco a Dao World. A Dao World can allow True Ancestors to enter. Once a Dao World is born, nurous True Ancestors will enter, fighting to claim a spot near the Ancestral Stele.
It’s rumored that an Ancestral Stele ultimately allows only nine Dao Ancestors to erge. Nowadays, the Ancestral Steles within chaos are extrely few and kept in utmost secrecy. Even I don’t know how many there are, but the value of an Ancestral Stele is so high that even Dao Ancestors would fight over it. After all, Dao Ancestors have True Ancestor disciples.”
“So, does this an the Eternal Universe and the Cangyu Universe, this dual universe, will now certainly beco a Grand Universe?” True Monarch Luanghai asked.
“No,” True Monarch Hidden God explained. “The probability of a dual universe becoming a Grand Universe remains very small. If the fusion of the dual universe fails, both universes will vanish, and the Ancestral Stele will likely disappear as well. However, since the Ancestral Stele has appeared, those True Ancestors will not allow an Ancestral Stele to disappear. They will do everything in their power to ensure the dual universe fuses into a Grand Universe.
Once it becos a Grand Universe, it will be stable and free from the risk of destruction. Elevating it to a Dao World would not be difficult, though it would require a long ti. True Ancestors have unlimited lifespans, so they are not afraid to wait.”
“In that case, this situation is advantageous for our Hidden God Organization. At least our disciples won’t perish due to the failure of the dual universe fusion!” True Monarch Luanghai said with relief.
“Naive!” True Monarch Hidden God said coldly, “Don’t forget, if a Grand Universe is born, the Divine Generals and even Destiny Realm experts within chaos can enter it. We won’t have any advantage. If we can’t transcend the dual universe before it becos a Grand Universe, we won’t be able to leave. Do you think those useless ones can transcend a Grand Universe? What a joke.”
They naturally did not believe these individuals could transcend a Grand Universe. Those who could transcend a Grand Universe were definitely among the top-tier geniuses within chaos. As long as they didn’t fall prematurely, they would inevitably beco peak Grand Dao Realm experts, second only to Dao Ancestors.
“Inform them, at all costs, they must transcend the dual universe. If they cannot transcend, they will be forever trapped within the Grand Universe. After that, they’ll have to find a way to survive. Our Hidden God Organization can’t send Destiny Realm experts in. Otherwise, I have no way to extract a Destiny Realm Heavenly Monarch from a Grand Universe!” True Monarch Hidden God said.
“We’ll find a way to inform them,” True Monarch Luanghai responded.
Subsequently, the Hidden God Organization communicated the situation to the mbers of the Zang Shen Hall within the dual universe and began relocating their forces. Because this area would inevitably be occupied by many factions, survival in the gaps between these factions would be too difficult for the Hidden God Organization. A single misstep could lead to their annihilation, and they dared not stay.
However, True Monarch Hidden God still reported the situation to his never-seen master, Dao Ancestor Jiu Tian.
…
In the chaos realm, the Qilin Palace.
Qilin True Lord was in seclusion, cultivating in the Qilin Palace. Though he was rely a True Ancestor at the early Grand Dao Realm, he held a considerable reputation within chaos and possessed considerable talent with room for improvent.
Suddenly, his expression changed to one of great joy.
He received a ssage from the Qilin Hall in a certain universe, delivered by a fragnt of his conscious avatar. Originally, he didn’t care much about this Qilin Hall, but the latest ssage made him ecstatic.
“The Ancestral Stele has appeared!”
As a Grand Dao expert, he naturally understood the significance of the Ancestral Stele’s appearance. The quotas for Ancestral Steles within chaos had long been exhausted. So terrifyingly powerful True Ancestors had waited for countless ages without becoming Dao Ancestors, still waiting for new Ancestral Steles to appear.
Though his strength was modest, he also yearned for an Ancestral Stele. What if he could luckily beco a Harmony Realm realm Dao Ancestor? According to his understanding, it wasn’t just strength that allowed one to beco a Dao Ancestor but also a certain opportunity and luck. Moreover, the stronger one was, the harder it was to beco a Dao Ancestor. The Ancestral Stele rely provided hope.
In chaos, so overly powerful True Ancestors couldn’t beco Dao Ancestors, while so weaker True Ancestors managed to beco Dao Ancestors by luck. Qilin True Lord believed that, though he was weak, he still had hope of becoming a Dao Ancestor.
“It seems like it’s the universe where that Dao Ancestor took disciples before. What a coincidence that the Ancestral Stele was born in that universe. It won’t be long before nurous True Ancestors and even Dao Ancestors focus their attention there,” Qilin True Lord murmured.
He wasn’t in a hurry to go to that universe. After all, it was still an ordinary universe, not even a Grand Universe, so he couldn’t enter it. Only once the universe beca a Dao World would he go there, but that process would take a long ti.
“First, I need to make arrangents. Let my few incompetent disciples go there and make preparations,” Qilin True Lord planned.
Imdiately, he sent ssages to his disciples at the peak of the True Spirit Realm, instructing them to head to the dual universe ford by the Eternal Universe and the Cangyu Universe.
At the sa ti, many Grand Dao experts across space beca aware of the dual universe’s existence and the presence of the Ancestral Stele. For a mont, the Eternal Universe and the Cangyu Universe drew the attention of countless great beings within chaos.
