"The mark of lightning at the center of the Arid Beast's brows symbolizes the Arid Disaster. It's just like how you have the same mark at the center of your brows right now. This means that you are the next to go through the Arid Disaster." The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe was silent for a moment. When he spoke again, he stared at Su Ming, and a complicated look appeared on his face, because he saw the mark of lightning at the center of Su Ming's brows. Clearly, it had appeared without Su Ming noticing it.
Su Ming remained as calm as ever. He lifted his right hand and touched the center of his brows gently. The skin there seemed to have been burned by some strange power, causing the mark of lightning to appear on his skin without him noticing anything out of the ordinary.
"I can descend at any time within a year, right?" Su Ming asked faintly after remaining silent for a moment. At that moment, he only had an otherworldly air about him. No one could tell that he had already surpassed the level of a Successor Spirit and become one of the few Antecedental Spirits left in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos.
But once Su Ming released his presence, it would be enough to destroy the world and turn into the will of heaven in an entire galaxy.
"I can descend at any time within a year. In the past, my Arid Disaster descended on the tenth month and seventh day," the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe said in a low voice.
Su Ming smiled in a carefree manner. His life had been full of ups and downs, and he had run into countless dangers. The Arid Disaster might be mysterious, but since it was bound to come, then panic and other emotions would not be of any help. Facing it calmly and intelligently was Su Ming's choice at that moment.
"Thank you for protecting me, senior. I will not forget the deal I made with you previously, but I will have to ask you to wait for a moment. When I became an Antecedental Spirit, many of my thoughts that I had not understood in the past were cleared up. I will need to use this power to refine my divine abilities." Su Ming looked at the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe.
"That is how it should be. When you become an Antecedental Spirit, the world will fuse with you, and you will be the closest to Arid Triad's will. Experience this feeling well. In my era, there were quite a number of astonishing divine abilities that were created under this state." The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe nodded.
Su Ming sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. At that moment, when the Arid Beasts left and the vortex disappeared, the All Spirits Hall and the two thousand something golden figures above Su Ming slowly became an illusion. After a moment, they disappeared along with the Spirit Descension Hall to wait for someone to summon them again.
Su Ming's mind slowed down at that moment. He slowly recalled the feeling he had when he became an Antecedental Spirit, and gradually, he made that feeling exist in his heart. When about an hour passed, Su Ming was completely immersed in that state, but there was still a hint of wariness around him.
Time trickled by. Several hours later, when Su Ming had been immersed in the feeling of becoming an Antecedental Spirit for a long time, his mind became clear.
It was a state where he was relatively relaxed. His consciousness had left his body to wander around the world to gain an epiphany of the universe. In that state, Dark Mountain appeared in Su Ming's mind without his knowledge. He saw himself in the land of Berserkers, throwing his head back and roaring. He saw countless Berserkers worshiping him as their God of Berserkers.
This scene remained in Su Ming's mind for a long time before it gradually became blurry. When it became clear again, Su Ming felt as if he had returned to Ninth Summit. He was sitting cross-legged outside his cave abode, and there was a drawing board in front of him. He had his right hand lifted, and he was drawing something on it. Su Ming knew that he was drawing the first style of his God of Berserkers Transformation — Berserker Obliteration.
"The direction of my epiphany is … God of Berserkers Transformation," Su Ming mumbled. Su Ming mumbled. At the instant his words echoed in his heart, the picture in his head disappeared. When his mind became clear once more, Su Ming opened his eyes.
He was still sitting in the world connected to the All Spirits Hall by the Sun Sinking Talisman. He was still sitting on the towering Spirit Ascension Platform of Great Berserker Tribe, but the originally ruined Great Berserker Tribe around him was now filled with countless distortions. They looked as if the sky and earth had fallen into disarray, as if time and space had changed.
At that moment, a brilliant light shone in the eyes of the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe. He moved back a little. He saw that the ruins of Great Berserker Tribe were completely distorted, as if there was another world in space that had overlapped with this place.
It was just like what he had sensed previously. Due to Su Ming's existence and him becoming an Antecedental Spirit … the past had arrived.
As time and space overlapped with each other, Su Ming saw figures gradually appear in the distortions around him. All of them belonged to Great Berserker Tribe. Some of them were charging through the sky, some were meditating in the area, and there were also quite a number of children playing in the tribe. The place seemed to have returned to the past as the distortions caused Su Ming to see how the Berserkers of Great Berserker Tribe lived in the ancient past and how they lived.
Smoke curled up from chimneys. There were also hunting teams going out in groups. Buildings made of stone rose and fell in the tribe. Spirit Ascension Platforms stood tall on the ground, and there were countless stones floating in the sky. Huge birds Su Ming had never seen before circled in the sky. Occasionally, they would let out loud screeches, and the Berserkers on the ground would throw their flesh into the air to feed on them.
The sounds of bustling activity, the echoes of frolicking, and the breathing of Great Berserker Tribe members in the distance as they trained filled Su Ming's heart at that moment. He looked around him and saw that most of the Spirit Ascension Platforms in Great Berserker Tribe had people meditating.
"Great Berserker Tribe's creation, this creation cares!" An ancient voice came from behind Su Ming. Immediately, all the Berserkers meditating on the Spirit Ascension Platforms opened their eyes and looked towards Su Ming. Their gazes were filled with respect and fanaticism.
Su Ming turned his head around swiftly and saw a person sitting behind him. It was an old man with white hair and an ancient air about him.
He was dressed in a white robe, and he was sitting cross-legged on the platform. He looked ahead, as if he could see through Su Ming's body and see even further into the distance.
Su Ming fell silent. He took a few steps back and sat down beside the old man. At that moment, he understood that what he was seeing was a scene that had happened an unknown number of years ago.
He looked around him and at the old man while listening quietly by the side.
"Wills are the thoughts of the mind, and creation is the beginning of creation. With thoughts, we turn wills into wills, and with creation, we create desolation. This … is the strongest Art of Great Berserker Tribe, the will of Eternal Creation." Since you have the right to train on the Spirit Sacrifice Platforms, then you have the right to understand Great Berserker Tribe's Eternal Creation Art.
"This Art is divided into five realms: Ten, Hundred, Thousand, Ten Thousand, and Desolation. Ever since the inheritance of Great Berserker Tribe has been passed down, no one has been able to execute Eternal Creation. The limit of this Art is Eternal." All of you must know that the strength of this Art … is as piercing as the sun. It is one of the reasons why the other races fear Great Berserker Tribe, "the old Berserker said languidly. When his voice echoed in the air, the Berserkers on the Spirit Ascension Platforms around him immediately became excited, and desire appeared on their faces.
Su Ming's eyes sparkled as he sat on the platform. He had heard a term from the old man's words.
'Spirit Sacrifice Platform? Isn't this the Spirit Ascension Platform..? 'A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, but the old man's next words answered Su Ming's questions.
"This Art is the legacy of our race's destiny. Part of it is contained in our blood, and the other part needs to be personally passed down by the Ancestral Spirit who protects Great Berserker Tribe after we worship the heavens!" When the old man's words echoed in all directions, a thought appeared in Su Ming's mind.
'The world I see right now is the world before the disaster descended. It is the era before the Ancestral Spirit died!' Su Ming immediately lifted his head and looked at the sky.
The blue sky was as clear as clear water. White clouds floated in the air, causing all those who saw it to feel calm. This sort of sky was something Su Ming rarely saw in the world outside.
"Now, worship the heavens and summon the Ancestral Spirit to descend!" The old man stood up, swung his arm, and wrapped his fist in his palm to bow towards the sky.
All the people on the platforms around him stood up and worshiped the sky. A thought appeared in Su Ming's mind. He also stood up and bowed towards the sky, but a brilliant light shone in his eyes as he looked at the sky.
At that moment, layers of ripples suddenly appeared in the blue sky. Soon after, as the ripples spread out, they turned into a gigantic face. That face descended from the sky, and when it descended, Great Berserker Tribe instantly fell silent. All the people looked towards the sky, and besides respect, there was also sincerity and gratitude on their faces. There was not a hint of fear in them.
After the face had sunk by more than half, its eyes suddenly flashed. Instantly, two pillars of light shot out from its eyes. When they landed on the ground, they turned into a blinding light, and two figures slowly revealed themselves from within the pillars of light.
They were dressed in long robes and appeared to be middle-aged. There was no awe-inspiring look on their faces. Instead, they had smiles that were as gentle as the spring breeze as they stared at the people of Great Berserker Tribe on the ground.
"My tribesmen, what is your request?" They were a man and a woman. The man had a smile on his face as he stared at the ground. When he spoke softly, there was no arrogance in his voice, but a rich emotion. It was as if he did not regard the people of Great Berserker Tribe as ants, but as his tribesmen.
The woman by his side was the same. With a light that seemed to belong to a mother, she stared at all the people of Great Berserker Tribe. When she looked at the children, her emotions showed up from the bottom of her heart.
"Ancestral Spirits who protect Great Berserker Tribe, please inherit the Created in Antiquity Art so that they can gain an epiphany and fight for Great Berserker Tribe!" The old man in white bowed deeply.
"Created in Antiquity is our race's strongest divine ability. All of you have our blood coursing through your veins, and we created you to pass this Art down to our people. This Art … cannot be broken. Created in Antiquity …" As the man who was the Ancestral Spirit spoke softly, he lifted his right hand and swung it at the ground. Immediately, some light spots scattered down. Each of them was a runic symbol, and they landed at the center of the brows of all the Great Berserker Tribe members on the platforms.
One of them drifted towards Su Ming.
