Chapter 3864: The New Ancestral Dragon
After reading the information, the World Sealing Dao Lord's expression clearly changed. "Where exactly did the Ancestral Dragon go? And what were those monsters?"
Lin Moyu said, "The Wasteland. Those creatures are called Great Dao Beasts."
The World Sealing Dao Lord looked at Lin Moyu. "You've seen them?"
Lin Moyu nodded. "I've seen them in the Soul Void, and I've killed a few."
The World Sealing Dao Lord clicked his tongue. "It seems Lin Friend has seen more and more things. I thought I could talk to you about some other matters, but it seems you might already know."
Lin Moyu caught the deeper meaning in his words. "Once this is over, let's find another place to talk."
The World Sealing Dao Lord smiled and nodded.
The Dragon Soul Crystal was still devouring the Dragon God Tree, a process that would take some time.
But at this moment, Antares's aura was already rising; the Dragon Soul Crystal was his, and as it devoured the Dragon God Tree, his power grew. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Antares broke through the Great Dao Realm and achieved Dao Lord status.
He was of pure dragon blood. If not for past accidents, he would have been the next Dragon God.
Now, with the Ancestral Dragon fallen and the Yang Dragon Great Dao's Dao Lord position vacant, Antares's succession was only natural.
Suddenly, Lin Moyu looked up, his gaze piercing the Great Dao to a distant place. "Someone's coming. I'll handle it."
The World Sealing Dao Lord followed Lin Moyu's gaze and chuckled, "Go on, don't leave any loose ends."
Lin Moyu said, "I always finish things cleanly."
He unfurled the Wings of the Time Curse, shooting out like he was teleporting.
Time flowed, accelerating Lin Moyu. In a flash, he left the Yang Dragon Great Dao.
A few flickers through the void, and within just ten breaths, Lin Moyu arrived at his destination.
A towering tree stood in the void. Upon seeing Lin Moyu, the tree vanished, transforming into an old man in a blue robe.
Lin Moyu frowned. "Withering and Flourishing Elder, I remember saying I don't like people who wear blue robes."
Withering and Flourishing Elder's expression changed, and his clothes instantly turned gray. He bowed to Lin Moyu. "Withering and Flourishing greets Lin Friend."
Lin Moyu smiled faintly. "So polite? Not planning to settle old scores?"
Withering and Flourishing Elder shook his head. "Lin Friend, please don't joke. Everything before was my fault. I'm here specifically to apologize. Please be magnanimous."
Lin Moyu replied, "And if I'm not?"
Withering and Flourishing Elder gave a series of bitter laughs. "Then however Lin Friend wants me to atone, I'll do my best."
Lin Moyu scrutinized him, making the old man very uncomfortable. After a few moments, Lin Moyu waved his hand. "Forget it. Since you've said so, let's leave it at that."
Withering and Flourishing Elder's face lit up with joy. "Really?"
Lin Moyu said, "Before I change my mind, you'd better disappear."
Withering and Flourishing Elder bowed again. "Thank you for your magnanimity, Lin Friend."
He turned and quickly vanished.
Returning to the Ancestral Dragon Sacrificial Ground, the World Sealing Dao Lord chuckled, "Didn't expect you to let him go."
Lin Moyu said, "Withering and Flourishing is nothing to me. Whether he lives or dies doesn't matter. I'm in a good mood, so let's say he got lucky."
To him, Withering and Flourishing Elder was like an ant. Even if he became a Dao Lord, he'd just be a bigger ant. Since the old man had come to apologize so humbly, Lin Moyu let it go.
The World Sealing Dao Lord glanced at Antares. "Looks like he still needs some time. Why don't we drink while we wait?"
He waved his hand, producing a large table covered with simple snacks and several jars of wine.
No matter when, he was always a wine lover.
The two drank and chatted, sharing stories from recent years.
Lin Moyu recounted some of his experiences some things he could say, some he couldn't, and he was careful about what he shared.
The World Sealing Dao Lord also spoke about what he'd done over the past thousand years. After becoming a Dao Lord, he too received a destiny.
His destiny was to set up formations, but where and what kind of formations was not specified.
Lin Moyu could hear some reservations in his words and had some guesses.
According to the World Sealing Dao Lord, the formation he set up was the strongest of his life, taking over eight hundred years. During that time, he could barely spare any attention to help Lin Moyu luckily, he suppressed those Outer Great Dao guys on his own. Only after his destiny ended did he help Lin Moyu and trick the dragon clan.
Half a day later, the Dragon God Tree was finally completely devoured.
At this moment, Antares's aura reached its peak. When the Dragon Soul Crystal, now transformed into a divine dragon, returned to his body, the peak shattered with a boom.
Antares threw his head back and let out a dragon roar that swept through the entire formation.
All surviving dragons within the Yang Dragon Great Dao heard Antares's voice.
They saw his projection cast into the void, filling the Great Dao.
The void left by the Ancestral Dragon's death was filled Antares became the new Ancestral Dragon, once again the source of the dragon clan.
All dragon clan members prostrated themselves, welcoming the new Ancestral Dragon and Dragon God.
In the projection, the Dragon God Crown flew onto Antares's head, and behind him, the Dragon God Tree flickered in and out of sight.
Antares's voice echoed in every dragon's ear:
"The dragon clan must break to stand anew. From now on, all dragons must unite no more infighting. Those who disobey will be cut down!"
"Obey the Dragon God's decree!"
All members of the dragon clan responded in unison.
Antares's aura gradually stabilized; he had already ascended to Dao Lord, though the refining process continued, and he would keep growing stronger for some time.
"How does it feel?" Lin Moyu asked with a smile.
Antares nodded. "It feels great. So the Dragon God Tree was the Ancestral Dragon's companion tree it actually existed before the Ancestral Dragon."
After devouring the Dragon God Tree with the Dragon Soul Crystal, Antares learned some of its secrets.
Back when the Solar Origin gave birth to the Ancestral Dragon, the first thing born was actually the Dragon God Tree. The Ancestral Dragon was born on the tree, and the Dragon God Crown was born alongside him. So the true origin of the dragon clan wasn't the Ancestral Dragon, but the Dragon God Tree.
After merging with the Dragon God Tree, Antares became the new source of the dragon clan.
With the Dragon God Crown, he could now unleash power beyond that of an Origin Dao Lord.
If he fully refined the Dragon God Tree, his power could even rival the Lord of Hell in his prime.
Lin Moyu studied Antares, frowning as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Antares said, "Don't make that face. If you have something to say, just say it."
Lin Moyu glanced at the World Sealing Dao Lord. "Let's talk somewhere else."
With a wave, he set up a formation to shield the three of them.
Several Elemental Liches appeared in their true forms to guard them.
Lin Moyu said, "Let's take a trip to the Soul Void."
Inside the Soul Void, Lin Moyu released a massive number of Skeleton Generals to quickly locate Antares and the World Sealing Dao Lord.
The Skeleton Generals led them out of the Origin Continent, into the world beyond.
After traveling a while, Lin Moyu finally stopped. "Here, the world will can't sense us. Say whatever you want."
"Senior, how did you learn of the existence of the world will?"
