Science Fiction

The Endless Ancestor suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, which enveloped each of the Ancestors. Following this, these Ancestors vanished into thin air, all hiding within the body of the “Primal Ancestor.”

Still remaining outside were only fourteen undying and unkillable beings.

“Retreat.”

The Mother of Spacetime, carrying her companions, directly plunged into spacetime and quickly fled. As they fled, Ancestor Icepeak, Ancestor Infinite Serpent, Ancestor Wugu, and others still looked at the eight Overlords.

“Don’t chase!”

Xingmang spoke… Most of the Ancestors who participated in this battle had very strong life-saving abilities.

Before, with layers of formations protecting them, it was very difficult to kill them.

Now that they had hidden inside the Primal Ancestor, even if Luo Feng and the others could cleave into the Primal Ancestor’s body with a single strike, the residual power of the blade light would not threaten the sixty-plus Ancestors inside.

If the Ancestor faction was truly determined to escape, the eight Overlords truly had no way to stop them.

Whoosh…

The Mother of Spacetime traveled with her companions. The fourteen undying and unkillable beings were all silent.

They had been forced to flee.

This already indicated the outcome.

“Though I’m unwilling to admit it, the result is right before us, we lost!” Ancestor Endless’s voice rang out, “Even if we set up layers of formations, the blade light formed by the eight Overlords could still penetrate deep into the formations, threatening the safety of the Ancestors. Since the Ancestors are unwilling to fight further, we can’t force them.”

Ancestor Yanhuo also said, “Those who achieve undying and unkillable status are, after all, very few.”

“I can still threaten the Overlords a bit, but you all have no way at all?” Mogus was quite angry.

“Their eight Overlords are almost flawless in matter, energy, vibration, and life. Coupled with Yuan’s perfect coordination of formations, the battle formation they form is impenetrable by any of our moves.”

Ancestor Icepeak said helplessly.

Each Overlord had perfect mastery in their respective paths. The cooperation of the eight could restrict all means.

“Only in the direction of the soul are they all not proficient!”

Ancestor Icepeak said.

“They are all beings from the Source World, having cultivated from the lowest level, so none of their minds and wills are weak,” Mogus said coldly. “Even ‘Jin’ and Naigu, who are relatively weaker, are considered top-tier among Ancestors.”

Only after clashing with the Overlords did they understand how terrifying these Overlords were.

“I can confirm that Yuan, Jin, and Naigu were definitely injured by my soul attacks!” Mogus said.

“During the previous clash, it wasn’t apparent that they were injured.”

Ancestor Infinite Serpent and Ancestor Icepeak both looked at Mogus.

The combined power of the eight Overlords’ previous strike was indeed terrifying. Mogus remained silent.

During the clash, it was indeed not apparent that the eight Overlords were injured.

In fact, Yuan and Naigu were at their peak strength, but Jin’s strength was indeed diminished.

However, with the eight working together, Jin’s injury had a very minor impact. “I’ve done all I could! With six helpers, this is all I could achieve…”

Mogus glanced at the thirteen others, “Unless you find more powerful beings skilled in soul arts, I will not fight the Overlords again.”

Having said that, Mogus disappeared silently. His body, composed entirely of soul power, was untraceable by anyone except Xingmang.

“Mogus is gone!”

Ancestor Infinite Serpent said, “From now on, I’m afraid he won’t have the courage to fight the cultivators head-on. At most, he’ll secretly devour the souls of Source World beings.”

“What do we do next?” Ancestor Icepeak looked at him.

“There’s no way…”

Ancestor Infinite Serpent said, “The Ancestors also fear death. Without sufficient safety guarantees, they won’t participate in large-scale battles. Only we, who are undying and unkillable, are fearless of them. But even if we unite, we will be directly obliterated by them. We need to accumulate power.”

Ancestor Infinite Serpent continued, “This time, it’s because of Luo Feng’s rise, which led to the overall transformation of the cultivator faction. Perhaps in the future, an Ancestor among us can emerge who is comparable to Luo Feng, capable of transforming our strength. Or perhaps a being similar to Yuan will emerge, capable of transforming our formation coordination.” In terms of formations, the Ancestors were far behind Yuan.

“Unfortunately, Puzhi, Xiuseiwei, Gushen Huang, Kafuxiu, Yuhuang, and Yinzi are all unwilling to participate in the battle!”

Ancestor Icepeak shook his head, “The power we two could mobilize was barely half the strength of the Ancestors.” The cultivator faction, on one hand, befriended Kafuxiu, Moxu, Yuhuang, Gushen Huang, Puzhi, Xiuseiwei, and other friends.

On the other hand, as long as the Source World did not expand its territory, this greatly reduced the number of enemies.

…In the endless Hunyuan Space, the Ancestors who did not participate in the battle were all observing it from afar.

“Even the Great Serpent and Icepeak combined couldn’t suppress Luo Feng and the others.”

Kafuxiu grinned, “The eight Overlords have publicly promised not to expand. Does the Great Serpent still want to forcefully suppress them? The result is just self-inflicted humiliation!” “Although they lost, the cultivator side will gain de facto control, but the Great Serpent and the others will not acknowledge the rule of the internal cultivation side.”

Yuhuang said.

“Given the Great Serpent’s temper, he won’t acknowledge it,” Moxu agreed. “Once there’s an opportunity, he will definitely retaliate.”

They were all ancient beings who had lived for endless ages, with enough patience.

Failure in this era did not mean permanent failure.

Perhaps a powerful Ancestor would emerge? Perhaps Ancestor Infinite Serpent, Ancestor Icepeak, and Shazhou would achieve breakthroughs in their strength?

“In the long years to come, it will be difficult to have such a great battle again.”

Yinzi said.

“Yes. Ordinary Ancestors will not easily participate in battles anymore,” Yuhuang agreed. “The order of the endless Hunyuan Space will also change starting today.”

Nanhe Territory.

Luo Feng and the other eight were quite excited. “This great battle came at some cost to us.”

Overlord Xingmang chuckled, “But we completely crushed the morale of the Ancestor faction, and we will now rule all Source Worlds without any further obstacles.”

“Finally, this day has come!” Wulan was quite thrilled.

“Ruling all Source Worlds…”

Luo Feng, Yuan, Moman, and every other Overlord felt a surge of emotion. They had finally achieved this goal.

The beings of the Source World would finally no longer be food.

“Next, we eight Overlords will need to work hard,” Overlord Xingmang said. “We need to split our thoughts, and a wisp of our consciousness will descend into each Source World. We need to guide the development and evolution of these Source Worlds, completely annihilate the remnants of the naturally formed Hunyuan faction’s power, and also leave behind some legacies to guide these Source World beings in their cultivation.”

Luo Feng and the others nodded. The Source Worlds in those territories were indeed in a dire state.

“Dividing countless thoughts, with each thought needing to do many things within a Source World, is indeed very tiring.”

Xingmang looked at Yuan, “Elder Brother Yuan, we need to simply divide the territories, and you can preside over it.” “Hahaha…”

Yuan laughed heartily, “I’ve toiled for endless ages, and now we finally rule all Source Worlds. I think I can take a bit of a rest. I’ll divide this newly ruled territory into ten portions, and I’ll be lazy and just take one.”

Everyone present was surprised. In terms of nurturing juniors, Yuan was the most dedicated and proactive.

Now he only wanted one portion of the territory?

“I don’t want any of the newly acquired territory,” Naigu said in a low voice. “In the coming years, I need to completely focus on the path of Hunyuan bloodline.”

This time, having been hit by soul attacks, and having started on the Heart-Slaying cultivation method earlier, Naigu knew he had to concentrate all his energy on cultivation.

If any problem arose, it would be a huge trouble. “Naigu indeed needs to focus more on cultivation.”

Xingmang nodded.

“I want a share!”

Minghuang spoke. “I also want a share of territory!”

Jin, though injured, did not take his injuries seriously and still requested a share of territory.

Wulan and Moman also only requested one share of territory each. The combined territory of the cultivator domain and the Nanhe Territory was already vast.

Even vaster newly conquered territory?

The Overlords also felt a lot of pressure!

“Of the ten new territories, Naigu doesn’t want any, and the five of us each take one, leaving only Luo Feng and Xingmang,” Yuan looked at the remaining two.

“The territory is too vast, travel itself is difficult. I’ll take two shares,” Luo Feng said. Xingmang, who can traverse spacetime, travels faster than any other being, making him suitable for managing a larger territory.

“You take three shares.”

Xingmang frowned and said, “In the coming years, not only do I need to establish a complete spacetime network for the Nanhe Territory, but all the newly occupied Source Worlds are even more desolate and remote. Although I don’t need to establish a complete spacetime network, I do need to set up some simple spacetime traditional passages. I also need to create a large number of worlds to serve as spacetime anchor points. I truly cannot manage all of it; at most, I can only manage two more shares of territory…” “Wherever new worlds need to be created, we will help you.”

Overlord Moman said.

“Of course I need your help. Otherwise, how could I possibly manage all the newly conquered territories spread across the endless Hunyuan Space?” Xingmang said, “You are responsible for creating all the worlds needed for spacetime anchor points within your respective territories.”

Luo Feng listened.

“We need to build our new territories?”

Wulan, Jin, and the others all felt pressure. “You’re already quite relaxed. I need to build the spacetime network, establish spacetime anchor points in the worlds you create. In my own territory, I also need to create worlds myself. Even in the cultivator domain and the Nanhe Territory, wherever the spacetime network extends, I need to guard it.”

Xingmang looked at the seven, “Even so, I’m still managing two territories; you have to be considerate of me!” The Overlords fell silent.

Xingmang was indeed too busy.

“Alright, I’ll take three shares!”

Luo Feng immediately agreed. “Luo Feng, your strength makes some Ancestors fear you. You should bear more responsibility!”

Xingmang said.

“Hahaha, since it’s settled, everyone go get busy!”

Yuan said with a smile. *Whoosh whoosh whoosh*

The eight Overlords acted independently.

Luo Feng also instantly divided numerous thoughts, descending remotely into the Source Worlds within his new territories. In Source Worlds numbering in the billions, Luo Feng’s avatars descended.

“In the Nanhe Territory, within my domain, there are over 300 million Source Worlds…”

“In the newly conquered, vaster territory, there are 2.7 billion Source Worlds.” Including his original domain within the cultivator territory, the total number of Source Worlds he governed exceeded 3 billion.

“Let’s manage them well first…”

Luo Feng also began the arduous life of managing Source Worlds. End of chapter.
