Ancestor Ye Tian? Was this the name of the ancestor? Even though it was hard to remember, it sounded very domineering. Lin Feng looked as calm as ever.
When Ancestor Ye Tian saw that Lin Feng looked as calm as ever, he couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, little boy, I know why you're so cold to me, it's because of the sea of fire, isn't it?"
Said Ancestor Ye Tian. Lin Feng frowned and nodded indifferently. Indeed, Lin Feng had his own opinions. He hated the Ancestor's way of doing things.
Ancestor Ye Tian knew that Lin Feng had a bad impression of him because of that. He really wanted to beat up Dao Cheng Zi, that useless bastard. He had been lazy in translating the content and had made Lin Feng misunderstand him.
"Lin Feng, what you heard was just a small part of Dao Cheng Zi's translation, nothing more. Dao Cheng Zi's translation is more or less the same as yours, it's much different." Said Ancestor Ye Tian to Lin Feng. He looked glum and solemn.
Lin Feng's facial expression slightly changed. He raised his head and looked at Ancestor Ye Tian.
Ancestor Ye Tian remained silent for a second and continued, "You only know that the sea of fire was my mistake. Now, the most dangerous thing in Eternal Kingdom is the sea of fire."
"But I want to tell you that you've only heard a part of the truth."
Ancestor Ye Tian looked glum and raised his head as if he was reminiscing about the past.
"A million years ago, I indeed came up with this idea. The river of fire will be moved underground to form a sea of fire, which will be very beneficial to the Heavenly Dao Court. After all, living on a scorching hot ground will be very beneficial to the Heavenly Dao Court."
"But you probably won't believe me, but when I was about to carry out that plan, the patriarch of the Tian Ji Sect came to find me."
"He's my little brother, Ancestor Ling Tian. He wanted me to move the fire underground, he wanted the same thing as me."
"After much consideration, I decided to split the river of fire into two and then use a warm jade platform to control the river of fire. This warm jade platform is the Perching Balcony."
"In the end, we divided the Fire River into two parts and buried it underground. We thought this matter would come to an end, but the Ancient Dragon Sect, the Primordial Tribe, the Ancient Heaven Tribe, the three imperial tribes, the Phoenix Tribe, the Qilin Sect, the Lightning Sect, and the Thunderbolt Fire Sect all came looking for us!"
"You should be able to guess my motive." Ancestor Ye Tian glanced at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng nodded. He understood. The Ancient Clans had the same idea as the Tian Ji Sect. They wanted a part of the fire river to go underground.
"Although their demands are simple, their methods are extremely vile. They claim that if we don't split the Fire River, they will join forces to attack the Heavenly Dao Court."
"Although the Heavenly Dao Court was strong a million years ago, it wasn't strong enough to withstand the combined attacks of more than a dozen clans, so I can only agree."
"Just like that, the Fire River filled almost half of Eternal Kingdom's underground, and that wasn't the end."
"The Tian Ji Sect was also threatened by many clans, led by the Ancient Flame Clan and the Taiqing Sect. The Ancient Evil Clan, the Tang Dragon Clan, the Song Clan, the Ancient Soul Clan, the Ancient Beast Clan, and the Goblin Clan."
"That way, the entire underground of Eternal Kingdom was covered by the Fire River. At the beginning, nothing happened."
"However, each sect had their own plans, and they all hoped that their sea of flames would flourish. As such, they poured all of the best energy into the ground. You can imagine how quickly the Earth-Piercing Sea of Flames formed in this way."
"By the time we realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. The Fire Spirit had already been born, and the Fire Spirit was even more violent than we were at that time."
"At that time, we were all at the Godly level, and the Fire Spirit had already reached the God Emperor level. That's how the disaster of the Far Ancient Clans happened. After that, half of the clans were destroyed."
"They were all destroyed by the Fire Spirit. I realized the danger, so I negotiated with the Fire Spirit. As long as you let Heavenly Dao Court go, I was willing to give you better resources to replenish the fire."
"In the end, the Heavenly Dao Garden survived, but from then on, the Heavenly Dao Garden went downhill, and I died not long after this incident."
"The one who inherited my position was my only son, Yeyang."
"That's what happened. I don't know if you believe me or not, but it's the truth." Ancestor Ye Tian's expression changed from gloomy to relaxed. Regardless of whether Lin Feng believed him or not, he had told the truth.
These words had been bottled up in his heart for millions of years, and he had never had the chance to say them. If he continued like this, people would only slander him, and in the end, he would become the root cause of Eternal Kingdom's destruction.
"I believe you." said Lin Feng nodding solemnly.
Ancestor Ye Tian was happy. He was surprised by Lin Feng's sudden change in attitude, but that was normal for Lin Feng. Ancestor Ye Tian had a complicated expression on his face, and he looked angry.
Lin Feng believed the old man's words. These details proved that the old man's words weren't fabricated out of thin air.
"Lin Feng, thank you for believing me." Ancestor Ye Tian looked at Lin Feng in a complicated way and grabbed Lin Feng's hand.
Lin Feng looked at Ancestor Ye Tian and wanted to ask him something, but the Ancestor was too emotional. Lin Feng had to wait until he calmed down.
After a long time, the Ancestor calmed down. Lin Feng chose to ask the last question he had.
"Ancestor, can I ask you a question?" Lin Feng looked at Ancestor Ye Tian in a solemn way.
Ancestor Ye Tian looked at Lin Feng and smiled. He knew what Lin Feng wanted to ask.
"Lin Feng, I know you want to ask me why we only had Godly Zun cultivators back then, right?" said the Ancestor, smiling at Lin Feng. He looked much more natural than before, and he looked even more radiant.
Lin Feng was surprised. He hadn't thought that Ancestor Ye Tian would know what he wanted to ask, so there must be something wrong.
Lin Feng nodded but didn't say anything. He just waited for the Ancestor's answer.
"Lin Feng, I've lived for three hundred thousand years, and during my time, the Qi was extremely weak. You might not understand, but there were countless Godly Emperors competing for the opportunity to become Ultimate Gods.
"In our era, all of the energy in the world seemed to have been sealed, as if all of the world's energy had been sealed."
"But ever since the Earth-Shattering Fire Sea became stronger and the Fire Spirit was formed, the Qi of the Eternal Kingdom suddenly became stronger. Since Tan Ziming's time, more and more Ultimate Gods and God Emperors appeared.
"In the next five hundred thousand years, cultivators' cultivation increased the fastest. But I also have a question. Why are there only God Emperors among those five hundred thousand people?"
"What happened during that time? It feels like it was cut off by something."
Said Ancestor Ye Tian in a strange way. He hoped that Lin Feng could give him a reasonable answer.
When Lin Feng heard Ancestor Ye Tian, he was surprised. What had happened in the past five hundred thousand years?
Thinking back carefully, he suddenly thought of something that Chen Cheng had said. The Earth-Shattering Sea of Fire had erupted once and almost destroyed the entire world. Perhaps it was at that time that the change was caused?
"Ancestor, five hundred thousand years later, the Earth-Shattering Fire Sea exploded again. It almost burned the entire Eternal Kingdom to ashes."
Said Lin Feng while frowning. His tone was a bit gloomy.
Ancestor Ye Tian suddenly understood. At the same time, he looked sad. It was all their fault. If they hadn't been greedy, they wouldn't have become like this.
This was proof of the saying, 'lifting a rock only to smash one's own foot'.
"Alright, let's not think about that anymore. Lin Feng, this is a fragment of my soul. My soul and my son's soul were already swallowed by the Earth-Shattering Fire Sea."
"Now, I'm going to give you the last part of my inheritance. It's about me, so take it."
The Ancestor's expression was extremely solemn and cautious. Because of his change, the atmosphere in the room became silent.
Lin Feng was standing in the same place and looking at the Ancestor's face. He knew that the last part of the inheritance wouldn't be simple.
Ancestor Ye Tian stretched out his hand and covered his mouth. Gradually, something white came out of his mouth. He grabbed it and threw it in Lin Feng's direction. At the same time, he shouted anxiously, "Catch it, don't let it escape!"
Shouted Lin Feng. Lin Feng's entire body tensed up. Lin Feng took a step forwards, his entire body leaned forward and tightly grabbed the smooth white object.
But when Lin Feng grabbed it, his facial expression drastically changed. His mouth was twitching, it was too cold. It was so cold that Lin Feng felt like his soul was going to freeze.
The temperature was at least a hundred thousand degrees below zero.
"What's that?" asked Lin Feng while looking at the white pearl in his hand. It was the size of an egg.
However, the ancestor had already turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared from the room without leaving a word.
All that was left were questions.
What was this thing? Why was it left for him?
Lin Feng looked at the white pearl. Was that the final legacy?
