After the crowd left, the door of the Du family ancestral hall was closed again.
"Chi chi chi …"
Inside the stone coffin, arcs of lightning wreaked havoc on Du Shaofu's body, flashing with terrifying majesty and light.
Above his body, the green Grass of Immortality was no longer affected by the power of thunder and lightning. Instead, it became increasingly bright and sparkling, delicate and glistening, releasing a hazy brilliance.
Vast amounts of life force were still pouring into Du Shaofu's body in large amounts.
As the lightning on Du Shaofu's body continued to gather, there were also surging electric lights crazily flowing in his body.
The tiny electric lights intertwined with each other, condensing into a thick bolt of lightning. It shuttled rapidly through Du Shaofu's meridians, washing his body over and over again.
Gradually, the body that had been re-condensed slowly became robust. After being tempered by the power of thunder and lightning, his muscles and bones had become abnormally tough.
After the thick bolt of lightning had passed through Du Shaofu's body for a hundred and eight cycles, it finally lay dormant. The light also slowly dissipated, and it quietly lay dormant.
If Du Shaofu had consciousness at this moment, he only needed to activate it slightly, and the dormant lightning would immediately erupt with an incomparably terrifying power.
This was the reconstructed Thunder Martial Vein!
As time passed, on the second day, everything slowly calmed down. In the ancestral hall of the Du family, all the lightning in the stone coffin disappeared, and all of them returned from the surface of Du Shaofu's body into his body.
Furthermore, the Grass of Immortality's silhouette finally dimmed and dissipated from the void.
The endless life force that was emitted was only left with a hazy aftershock, but it also quickly spread between heaven and earth.
Only in Du Shaofu's mind, balls of lightning were still flashing, releasing blazing light.
It could be said that Du Shaofu's current physical body had reached his peak state. As long as he woke up, all of his cultivation could be directly used as before.
However, his soul had not returned, and what was lying in the stone coffin was only a body without consciousness.
With such a body, without the guidance of a soul, no matter how powerful it was, it would not be able to unleash its full potential.
The other experts of the Desolate Country were previously worried about this.
However, Zhen Qingchun said it well, they were just worried for nothing.
With the Lord of the Three Thousand Vast Worlds and the Dragon God watching over everything, there should not be any mistakes.
In fact, everything was as they had expected.
This was because Du Shaofu's consciousness .It was still there, it was just that, the way it existed, the way it did it..
Du Tingxuan, Zhen Qingchun, Du Xiaoyao, Little Xingxing, and the others were not wrong. Du Shaofu's soul had indeed dissipated a long time ago.
In a situation where he had burned his origin source of laws and the power of his soul to fight against the Demon God, including his consciousness, there was no way he could have survived.
However, no one knew that in a special space, there was still a weak consciousness that was recovering, awakening, and returning.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
In the strange space, this weak consciousness emitted extremely subtle waves, and it was many times weaker than an ant crawling on the ground.
This consciousness had always been in a muddle-headed state. It did not even have the slightest idea of who it was, what it was, where it came from, or where it was going.
"It" could not sense its own body, so it could not know what kind of existence it was.
In the little consciousness it had, the only thing it could feel was that it was constantly spinning.
"Swoosh..."
Suddenly, a faint light shot over and shone on the consciousness. However, it was like a scorching sun, causing "it" to feel a stinging pain.
"It hurts, close your eyes!"
This consciousness emitted little waves, expressing the feelings it had at this moment.
After the pain was felt, "it" subconsciously wanted to close its eyes, but it realized that it did not seem to have eyes at all.
"What are eyes?"
"It" gradually adapted to the illumination of the "strong light" and could not help but have new questions.
Then, more questions appeared one by one.
"Why can't I move?"
"Where's my body?"
"What is my body?"
"What am I?"
"Where is this?"
"Who am I?"
...
More and more questions gathered, and on this weak wisp of consciousness, subtle fluctuations were constantly occurring.
"Ah... my head hurts..."
Under the countless doubts, this wisp of consciousness was about to explode.
With its small size, it was not enough to withstand this "infinitely large" stream of consciousness. At any time, it could be shattered by the accumulated doubts and disappear between heaven and earth.
Countless questions, endless perplexity, and endless pain.
However, just as it was about to reach its limit, a wave of warmth suddenly flowed over, like a clear spring flowing into its heart, constantly nourishing this weak consciousness, causing it to slowly grow stronger.
Immediately after, a domineering figure walked out from the void around it. He stood beside the weak consciousness like a god between the heavens and the earth.
"Descendant of my Du Family, it's time to wake up!"
The domineering man spoke softly, an indescribable majesty exuding from between his brows.
His tall and imposing figure stood there, as if this entire space existed because of him.
"Descendant of the Du Family? What is a descendant of the Du Family? "
That weak consciousness was once again confused, but this time, because of the endless warmth enveloping "it", "it" no longer felt unbearable because of this thought.
On the contrary, "it" gradually adapted and began to ponder this "profound" question.
As it continued to think, this strand of consciousness also slowly remembered many things.
"I am a descendant of the Du Family!"
"Yes, I am Du Shaofu!"
"Didn't I already die together with the Demon God?"
"I'm actually still alive?"
"Where is this place?"
"Could this be the underworld's reincarnation?"
...
Finally, "it" knew his identity and quickly recalled everything.
He was Du Shaofu, and in order to stop the Demon God from killing during the great calamity of the Devil religion, he had burned his Origin of Laws and the power of his Origin Spirit to fight with the Demon God.
In the end, he knew that the Demon God had exhausted all of his vitality, and he could only be reduced to ashes without any chance of survival.
However, for his family, loved ones, friends, and people to live peacefully, he was willing to die!
However, why did he appear in such a space at this time, and why was there someone talking to him?
Thinking of this, Du Shaofu could not help but "look" ahead.
Over there, a tall and burly middle-aged man was standing there quietly, like a mighty god.
His body was imprinted in the void, as if he existed with heaven and earth.
Seeing such a figure, Du Shaofu could not help but "open his mouth". After a long while, he released a wave of Spirit, "Ancestor!"
That's right, the tall and imposing figure that merged with heaven and earth was the ancestor of the Du Family who had once merged with the Heavenly Dao of a world.
"You're finally awake!"
The ancestor took a slight step forward. On his angular face, a pair of bright eyes looked at Du Shaofu, and there was a hint of affection hidden in his majesty.
"The descendant of the Du Family greets the Ancestor …"
When Du Shaofu saw this, he was about to kneel on the ground and pay respects to the ancestor.
However, he suddenly realized that he did not have a body at all, and only a consciousness remained.
"This …"
He could not pay respects, and Du Shaofu was stunned for a long time.
He was still alive, but his body was gone.
Moreover, he could clearly feel that what he had now was not the state of a Primordial Spirit at all, but only a trace of a remnant Spirit.
In this way, it was not much different from being dead.
"Little fellow, there's no need to pay respects. Your current state is not good. Recover as soon as possible. Many people are still waiting for you outside."
The ancestor said to Du Shaofu kindly with a smile on his face.
"Ancestor, this junior is already dead, how could …"
Du Shaofu asked in bewilderment. He had clearly turned into ashes, so how could there be a trace of consciousness left behind at this time?
"I've learned about what you've been through from your soul. You are indeed dead, but there is still hope for you to be resurrected. "
The ancestor looked at Du Shaofu and said softly.
Seeing that Du Shaofu did not speak, he continued, "Since you want to know, then I'll tell you! This space is the place you came to before, which is also the place where I was buried back then. "
"Ancestor's place of burial, could it be … the Tomb of the Heavenly Dao?"
Du Shaofu immediately understood. The place where the ancestor was buried was the deepest part of the Ancient Barren Continent's Burial Ground.
Later on, he had returned to the upper reaches of the river of time and witnessed everything that happened in the ancient times.
It was also at that time that he learned of the ancestor's identity and the origin of the Du Family's Lightning Vein.
"Oh … the Tomb of the Heavenly Dao, this name is somewhat appropriate."
The ancestor nodded and smiled, "You came here before and saw the illusion I left behind. It made you experience the great calamity of the Devil religion, as if you experienced it yourself."
"So it was just an illusion. Was it not the power of time?"
Du Shaofu was confused. His experience back then was as if he had returned to the ancient times. Everything was so real, and it did not seem like an illusion at all.
He had always thought that he had truly returned to the past and experienced all the killing and resistance.
"You are correct. I have merged with the Heavenly Dao of this world, so I can naturally manipulate the invisible laws and affect time. But to you, you did not truly return to the ancient times, so you cannot participate. You can only be a bystander. So, in the end, that was just an illusion. No one has the power to truly change the flow of time, not even the Heavenly Dao. Unless … "
After the ancestor's explanation, Du Shaofu immediately understood.
In the end, that experience had indeed brought him back to the ancient times. This was real, but he could only be a bystander and could not interfere with what happened back then.
If that was the case, it would be more accurate to call it an illusion.
Understanding was one thing, but the ancestor's last words piqued Du Shaofu's interest. He hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"
"Kid, you really are impatient!" the ancestor sneered.
The ancestor scolded with a smile, and then said, "When one's cultivation reaches a certain level and understands the Law of Time, one can indeed change a part of time, but this is only a normal method, and it cannot affect a large area. Otherwise, the order of the world will be thrown into chaos, and no one knows what will happen. "
"The Laws of Time, so that's how it is!"
Du Shaofu pondered, and he could not help but think of the Desolate Ancient Dimension.
He did not know who had left behind that dimension, but it could actually accelerate time by several dozen times. It was truly incomparably mysterious.
Presumably, the person who had refined the Desolate Ancient Dimension must have had an unfathomable cultivation, and their attainments in the Laws of Time were even more profound.
Hearing the ancestor's words, Du Shaofu felt that the ancestor was intentionally hiding something from him about that 'unless' and was unwilling to tell him.
"Although I have fused with the Heavenly Dao and can mobilize the power of the invisible Laws, I still have to follow the order of the world. I can only let you go back and take a look and know what happened, but I cannot truly affect the entire world. It is precisely because of the method I left behind in my burial place, oh, the Tomb of the Heavenly Dao that you speak of, that I was able to do all this. Moreover, your appearance here today is also my doing. "
The ancestor's body turned around, as if it was going to cause the entire space to rotate. It was a dazzling sight to behold.
"Ancestor, this junior understands!"
Du Shaofu wanted to nod, but he really did not have a body, so he could not do this action at all. He thought for a moment and said, "When this junior entered the Tomb of the Heavenly Dao, I believe that the ancestor used some method to leave a trace of my soul here. This way, even if I perished together with the Demon God in the great calamity of the Devil religion, there is still hope for my resurrection. "
"You are indeed very clever, understanding with just a hint! However, the truth is a little different from what you think. I left a method on you when you first came here, but it was only the moment before you died that method was activated, and a strand of your Soul was taken to this place. "
The ancestor looked at Du Shaofu with a smile. His dignified face had an amiable expression, and his eyes were full of praise.
What Du Shaofu said was not far from the truth.
"So that's how it is!"
Du Shaofu nodded slowly, and he could not help but feel extremely shocked by the ancestor's method.
How many people in the world could do such a terrifying Divine Ability?
However, in the blink of an eye, the ancestor had fused with the Heavenly Dao and could mobilize the invisible Laws of the world. It was understandable that he had arranged all of this in advance.
In fact, this was a better explanation as to why the ancestor knew what he had experienced.
"But ancestor, my physical body is probably long dead. If I want to reconstruct a body …"
Du Shaofu immediately said. Although he did not finish his words, his meaning was extremely obvious.
"Regarding this, I have also made preparations, but whether it will work or not, I can't say for sure!"
The ancestor nodded slightly and said.
"Could it be that the ancestor has also made arrangements for this matter?"
Du Shaofu's' eyes lit up ', and he was instantly filled with hope.
For his family, lovers, friends, and the countless people in the world, he was willing to die. However, if he could be reborn after the great calamity, it would be a wonderful thing.
At the thought of having a chance to reunite with so many people again, he could not help but become excited.
Father, Mother, Sister, Little Demon, Little Star, Little Huang, Little Lin, Little Ba, Tomboy, Sima Muhan, Dongli Qingqing, Ye Piaoling, Little Qing, Jialou Jueyu, Master …
One figure after another flashed past Du Shaofu's consciousness, and endless longing surged in his heart.
"When I was carving the Thunder Martial Vein for the descendants of the Du Family, I also left some blood essence in that stone coffin. I think that stone coffin is still well preserved. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to open the Thunder Martial Vein. "
The ancestor looked at Du Shaofu and said.
"Stone coffin!"
Du Shaofu was shocked and said to himself, "As expected!"
Ever since he knew the origin of the Thunder Martial Vein and the identity of the ancestor, he had guessed that the stone coffin stored in the ancestral temple should be related to the ancestor.
He knew that the stone coffin was extraordinary. When he was young, his father would often carry him in to sleep. At first, when he woke up in a daze, he would break out in a cold sweat. When he told the elders about this, he was even "warned" not to disrespect the ancestor because he was playful.
Later on, Du Shaofu slowly got used to waking up from the stone coffin occasionally and did not mention this to anyone.
The stone coffin definitely played a huge role in the opening of the Thunder Martial Vein in his body.
Now that he heard the ancestor mention it, it turned out that he had left some blood essence inside. No wonder it was of such great help to him.
"That's right. With the help of that stone coffin, you should be able to successfully reconstruct your body. However, if you want to revive your life force, it should still be a little troublesome. "
The First Ancestor said.
In fact, not only was it troublesome to revive his life force, the most important thing was that someone in the Du Family knew how to use the stone coffin to extract the blood essence and use it to reconstruct Du Shaofu's body.
Otherwise, everything would be empty talk.
"No matter what, I have to go back and give it a try. I believe that Drunkard Dad and the others should be able to think of this."
Du Shaofu sighed deeply. He was extremely shocked and impressed by the ancestor's "divine plan". He didn't expect that he had already thought of these things when he was in the Primordial Era and had left behind a series of backup plans.
However, although he said that, his heart was beating like a drum.
Everyone knew that the dead could not be revived. If Drunkard Dad and the others saw that his life force was gone, they would not have any hope at all and directly buried his remaining head. That would be really bad.
"Of course you have to go back and take a look. The only trace of your consciousness left here will dissipate one day. Now that I have died, I used some means to preserve a trace of my consciousness and tell you all this. After you go out, if your soul returns to its original position, then everything will be fine. Otherwise, you'll still be reduced to ashes. "
The ancestor looked at Du Shaofu and said word by word.
He was isolated in this space, and the moment before Du Shaofu died, a trace of his soul was directly seized and brought to this place. No one knew what happened after that, and there was no way to determine the condition of his body.
"I have an Immortal Xuan Body that has been tempered by the Purple Gold Divine Thunder. Even if I am buried, it will still be intact and will not decay in a short time. However, even if this trace of my soul returns, if I can't mobilize my own strength, I will still face a lot of trouble. "
Du Shaofu couldn't help biting his teeth, feeling a headache and worry.
"Go back and take a look first. You are the most outstanding descendant of my Du Family. If you can be revived, I can finally rest in peace."
The ancestor suddenly sighed and said with emotion.
Back then, he had merged with the Heavenly Dao and mastered the order and rules of this world. He was restricted by the laws of heaven and earth.
Rather than saying that he was fair and selfless, it was better to say that he was ruthless.
Although he had the ability to reach the heavens, he could not make the slightest contribution to the descendants of the Du Family.
It was not until the final moment when he decided to suppress the Demon God that he used his supreme ability to engrave the Thunder Martial Vein in the bloodline of the Du Family, which could be considered as making up for what he owed in his heart.
"Ancestor, if I can be revived, you should be able to too!"
Du Shaofu suddenly said in a loud voice, his heart filled with excitement.
He was full of admiration for the ancestor. For the sake of the world, he gave up his ruthless body and was willing to be obliterated by the invisible laws to suppress the Demon God.
In fact, he didn't have to do this at all. No matter how tragic the Great Tribulation was, the Heavenly Dao was still the Heavenly Dao.
With the existence of the Heavenly Dao, this world would never truly degenerate into a Demon Realm. There would definitely be new living beings born.
The Heavenly Dao was still supreme.
Therefore, Du Shaofu hoped that the ancestor could be like him and have a chance to be revived.
In this way, not only him, but everyone in the Du Family would probably be overjoyed.
However, the ancestor looked at Du Shaofu and said with a smile, "My body has long been destroyed, and my Primordial Spirit has also dissipated. This remaining trace of consciousness is really unable to do anything useful. You have to know that you are here because of the means I left behind before I died, not after. I'm only here to answer your questions. Not long after, I will also eventually dissipate. "
"Doesn't that mean that the ancestor is really going to die?"
Du Shaofu could not help but feel a little sad. It was fine if he did not have any hope in his heart, but after having hope, he suddenly faced despair. This kind of emotion was really a heavy reality that was difficult to accept.
"Haha, little fellow, don't be sad. I had already accepted it when I suppressed the Demon God. Life and death are just a dream. Now, it's time for you to go back! "
The ancestor laughed loudly, and then gently waved his sleeve. As if he had activated some hidden method, the space trembled.
At the same time, Du Shaofu's soul was wrapped in a ball of light and quickly rushed out of this space. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the Du Family's ancestral hall in the Desolate Country and entered the body in the stone coffin.
