The Era of Gods-Chapter 624 - A Glance from the True Ancestor of Nether

Chapter 624: Chapter 624 A Glance from the True Ancestor of Nether

A figure emerged silently near Lin Xiao’s hiding place, swept a glance around, and this wizard clad in a black robe cast a spell. His pupils burst with a clear light, and the world seemed to be refreshed. Countless subtle details stood out before him, and he soon detected the unusual aspect of Lin Xiao’s hiding spot.

“Promoted to Level 3…”

The black robe was pulled down, revealing a bald man whose face was covered in horizontal scars. He scrutinized the area with confusion and took out a mirror identical to Julian’s to examine, talking to himself:

“Is this the Alien Descender that Julian put a bounty on?”

“Hmm, the bounty is still open, so let’s accept it then.”

...

He manipulated the mirror a few times until it lit up. He then pocketed the mirror with a slight smile:

“Although I do not know why Julian would spend two Contribution Points, that is not important. This seat is just earning a little contribution on the side.”

He threw up a piece of black gauze which quickly turned transparent and concealed him. His entire figure vanished rapidly, with only faint traces of discordance with the surrounding space visible as he approached Lin Xiao’s retreat.

“Hmm, the mission has been accepted?”

Julian quickly received a notification, pulled out the mirror to check, and the display confirmed his bounty had been taken by someone, the taker unknown. However, he knew who it was and sneered:

“Just in time to let that His Excellency test your real strength. If you succeed, you have saved me the effort, and even if you fail, I will have some data.”

With that thought, he sent a message to a certain name, waited about ten seconds for a response, and then looked up at the mirror, his expression turning to shock:

“The target of your transmission has died!”

???

Initially, Julian thought he had sent the message to the wrong person. After checking carefully and retrying, the response came back the same after another few seconds.

“This is…”

His expression was grave, and his eyes unsettled.

He dared not be certain that the His Excellency had been killed by the human Descender, especially since he had just accepted the bounty before dying, which was suspiciously quick, abnormally quick. Logically, he guessed that it was more likely an accidental death after accepting the bounty.

This was the only possibility, and the only one he was willing to accept.

He could not believe that His Excellency was killed in just a few seconds.

Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away in a desolate wilderness, Lin Xiao held a severed head and examined its horrified face before disdainfully tossing it aside. He picked up a mirror from the scattered remains to inspect it.

Just after being promoted, someone attempted to ambush him, and of course, he was not polite. With a backhanded strike, he crushed his attacker with ease, as if squashing a chick.

Unfortunately, he used too much force, shattering every magical artifact on the person’s body, leaving only this undamaged mirror, which piqued his curiosity.

On the surface, it looked like an ordinary glass mirror, but the fact that it withstood his force without breaking clearly indicated it was a top-tier magical artifact.

However, no matter how he tried, whether infusing spiritual power or mana, the mirror did not react at all, as inert as an ordinary piece of glass.

Lin Xiao, who never dwelled on unsolved mysteries, simply tossed it into the Creation Rubik’s Cube. With a twist of the Cube, the sturdy mirror shattered into dust, and a glimmer of spiritual light—undetectable outside—emerged in the Magic Cube Space, seemingly attempting to escape.

“What is this thing?”

With a thought, the Magic Cube Space froze, but the sliver of spiritual light continued to move at an imperceptible speed.

Lin Xiao’s expression instantly grew solemn.

This was the first time he had seen something move in the frozen Magic Cube Space, and although its pace was slower than a snail’s, it was indeed moving—a truly inconceivable feat.

He tried to have his consciousness touch the strand of spiritual light, and in that moment, he seemed to see an endless Void with infinite Divine Light rising, and an immeasurable presence standing amidst the Divine Light.

As if sensing his gaze, that immeasurable being turned its gaze toward him.

“Boom!”

Lin Xiao felt as if he was struck by billions of Thunderbolts; that consciousness collapsed on the spot, and an indescribable force traveled through some mysterious connection and slammed into the Creation Rubik’s Cube. The Cube spun rapidly, its vast accumulated Creation Energy evaporated, consuming hundreds of units of energy with each rotation, as if eons were passing in mere seconds.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Lin Xiao felt his consciousness slowly reassemble and gradually regain awareness amidst the haze.

“True Progenitor of Death!”

Lin Xiao enunciated each word of this name, his shock indescribable.

In the moment of that terrible impact, he had also received the meaning of that glance, and naturally, he became aware of the identity of that terrifyingly immense presence.

That was a primordial ancestor from the Spirit Realm, a Son of the Divine Realm, who is still within the Wizard World. Using his authority in the Wizard World, he opened a channel to guide the Sons of the Divine Realm from the Spirit Realm to descend into this world with their memories intact.

The Descender he had just killed was a Son of the Divine Realm from the Soul Race, and so was Julian. The mirror in his hand was a top-tier Magic Weapon personally forged by the true primordial ancestor. Its primary function was to establish a vast network with the true primordial ancestor’s authority, linking all Descenders from the Spirit Realm.

He had just shattered this top-tier Magic Weapon and had inadvertently touched the power from the true primordial ancestor with his consciousness, coming face-to-face with the true primordial ancestor.

Well, to be precise, it was just a pre-set power by the true primordial ancestor, not a direct encounter with the true primordial ancestor’s True Body.

Even so, that single glance had cost him over four thousand units of Creation Energy. He had only looked once, and it wasn’t even the ancestor’s True Body…

Lin Xiao felt a great pain at the loss, but what worried him even more was whether his actions might have attracted the attention of the true primordial ancestor—that would be lethal.

Lin Xiao felt that his current location might not be safe anymore, or rather, this entire world might not be safe.

“I need to run away fast!”

He made the decision to leave this world almost instantly.

Fortunately, this ancient battlefield had many spatial rifts, with several leading to other worlds. It was unclear which were safe and which were not, but none could be more dangerous than attracting the attention of a primordial ancestor.

Lin Xiao immediately left his original spot and flew toward the center of the ancient battlefield. Without anything to choose from, he found the nearest spatial rift, and happened to see a strange fish with six legs and about ten meters in length emerging from the rift; without a word, he charged at it.

The strange fish let out bizarre cries upon seeing him, spraying a breath of blue that quickly coated the ground with frost.

Without even initiating his Godification, Lin Xiao headbutted it, shattering the ice and sending shards flying everywhere. A massive fist punched the strange fish, sending it flying over ten meters away.

“Wind Spirit Moon Shadow!”

Granting himself a layer of Innate Wizardry, Lin Xiao plunged into the spatial rift and disappeared.

The strange fish got up, shook its head but couldn’t find its target, and with a few more bizarre cries, it too dove back into the rift and vanished.

Meanwhile, Julian stood with his mouth agape, taking out a steaming mirror. The inactive mirror automatically activated, and a line of words, as if written in blood, appeared before his eyes:

“Wanted, a human Descender. Any clues provided will be rewarded with ten Contribution Points, capture the target alive for a hundred Contribution Points and one point of divine favor!”

Below was a picture of a tall human man, whom Julian recognized as the human Descender.

“What’s happening? What’s going on?”

Like everyone else in this world, Julian was completely baffled. At this moment, all Spirit Clan Descenders in this world had received this bounty which offered unprecedentedly rich rewards, and a frenzy of information exchange was taking place in response to this bounty.

Looking at the countless speculations and imaginations on the screen, Julian’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. He couldn’t help but urge once more, also looking forward to the benefits he would get from the Sacred Vase of Life if he could kill that human Descender.

A hundred Contribution Points and one point of divine favor from the ancestor were more valuable than any Soul Apostle.

“Perhaps, I can upload some clues first!”

With that thought, he quickly started operating on the mirror.

Profound, dark, and limitless waters.

After entering the Godified state and braving the tearing of the spatial rift with his robust physique to enter another world, what Lin Xiao saw was an endless ocean.

The exit of this spatial rift was within an ocean, and judging from the water pressure coming from the sea, it seemed to be a deep seabed. There weren’t many fish around, but occasionally he could see large monstrous creatures roaming the waters, each one looking fierce and ferocious. However, upon sensing Lin Xiao’s overwhelming presence, they all avoided him.

Now truly advanced to Rank 4 in his Godified state, Lin Xiao might still be a small fry in the grand scheme of the Wizard World, but he was definitely considered a top-tier strong being in some less powerful worlds.

For instance, in this Ocean World, the surrounding energy concentration was much lower than in the previous world, meaning the general strength level was not as high either.

Surfacing around three thousand meters, Lin Xiao broke through the sea and appeared on its surface, where the water energy particles that were everywhere began to diminish, replaced by an increase in other types of energy particles.

Flying a few hundred meters above the ground and looking around, he saw a boundless sea, with not even an island in sight.

After some thought, he picked a random direction and flew forward. Below was an endless sea, where occasionally he could glimpse the fleeting figures of sea fish or unknown sea monsters.

These sea monsters were all of considerable size, but their strengths were mostly only between Levels 1 and 2, and he hadn’t yet encountered any above Level 3.

After flying several thousand kilometers in a straight line, Lin Xiao finally saw a vast shadow in the distance. Flying closer after a while, he could see various sea birds, and the ocean was dotted with fishing boats of different sizes. His powerful eyesight made out human figures on the boats.

This was an extremely large island, with numerous buildings and a huge port filled with many vessels, most of them fishing boats.

The predominant Race on the island was Humans, but there were also quite a few from Other Races, including a large number of half-human Races evolved from various marine creatures.
