Xiao Chen and Yan Qingcheng walked on the waves under the morning glow and gradually approached the nine provinces. They could already see the hazy mainland.
Just at this moment, Xiao Chen stopped moving. His expression turned serious. He didn't feel any dangerous aura, but his intuition told him that there was something strange ahead.
This was a very bad signal. Even someone as powerful as him couldn't sense it clearly. It was enough to show how serious the situation was.
A long laugh resounded like a huge drum shaking the sky. It was oppressive and powerful, echoing in this coastal area for a long time.
"Let's return to the World of Death."
Xiao Chen stood on the clear and crystalline sea surface and said to Yan Qingcheng calmly. However, his eyes didn't leave the hazy coastline ahead.
The outstanding beauty Yan Qingcheng was wearing a feather robe. She nodded indifferently. She was getting more and more aloof, intelligent and faintly discernible.
An unfathomable powerhouse was standing by the seaside! Although he was in Xiao Chen's field of vision, he actually didn't sense it until his intuition woke him up. After the other party's long laugh, he finally caught a glimpse of that tall figure with his back facing him.
"Why are you in such a hurry to escape? Why don't we sit down and talk?"
That tall figure at the seaside slowly turned around. He stepped on the blue sea and walked over step by step. Four otherworldly ancestor gods followed behind him.
That was a middle-aged man wearing ancient clothing. He had a head of greyish-brown long hair that was slightly curled. It naturally draped over his shoulders and back. His skin was pale as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time. He looked a little sickly. His pair of eyes that had experienced the vicissitudes of life were as deep as the ocean, as if they could see through people's mind.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing was that left arm. It was completely petrified and perfectly fused with his flesh. Although it was simple and unadorned, it made people's heart palpitate.
This was a very contradictory person with an unconventional temperament. He made people feel peaceful, but also frightening at the same time. The peaceful part was the appearance, but the frightening part was the mighty power contained within.
Based on his intuition, Xiao Chen knew that this should be a supreme ancestor god. However, he had an extra stone arm compared to the supreme ancestor god. It seemed like he had tried both methods before. He was definitely a peerless character that stood at the peak.
When facing such a person, Xiao Chen could only retreat. He didn't want to say anything, he just wanted to bring Yan Qingcheng back to the World of Death.
"Slow down. Even if we're enemies, we don't have to fight to the death."
This unparalleled character with an unconventional temperament revealed a peaceful smile and stopped in his tracks. He sat cross-legged on the surface of the sea and said, "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ge Qian, and I have been silent for three civilizations. Many people, including myself, did not expect that I would be able to survive in silence."
Ge Qian's tone was flat, without the slightest killing intent. It was as if he was talking to an old friend. "Let's sit down and have a chat. At this cultivation realm, after experiencing thousands of tribulations and hundreds of tribulations, do you still fear death?"
Behind him, the four alien Elder Gods were completely unmoving, as though they had been petrified. They stood there very cautiously, and one could tell that they were filled with reverence towards Ge Qian.
Xiao Chen felt more and more that this otherworldly ancestral god was not ordinary. He and Yan Qingcheng also sat on the surface of the sea.
"Death is nothing. Living might be even more terrifying."
Ge Qian had a faint smile on his face as he looked at the two. He said, "All the fear and hardships are for the living. The dead do not feel such pain, because everything is already over."
"If that's the case, you are looking forward to death more?"
Xiao Chen did not have any reverence in his heart. He rebutted him without any trace of politeness.
"No, because living is an additional choice compared to death. After death, everything will be for naught and cannot be reversed. On the other hand, living means that you can choose to die at any time. Furthermore, living is not only filled with fear, but also with hope. When there is no hope, living becomes meaningless. It is indeed better to choose death."
Ge Qian was calm as he swept his gaze over Xiao Chen and Yan Qingcheng. He said, "Just like the current Nine Prefectures, there is no hope, and you two are also hopeless people."
"Are you saying that people like us are living a life worse than death?"
Xiao Chen's expression was indifferent.
"Actually, what I'm saying is that I can give you hope."
Ge Qian's aged eyes became even more abstruse. They were like two concretely formed oceans. He said unhurriedly, "My realm can accommodate hundreds of rivers and nurture boundless hope. I welcome you two to join us."
"Haha … …"
Xiao Chen let out a long laugh. The quaking sea shook. The blue waves rolled and the waves soared into the sky. His voice was very cold as he said, "Are you joking?"
"I am not joking. The Nine Prefectures has already become a pool of stagnant water. There is no longer any hope. Soon, I will wipe out all the living beings in this land. No one can stop me."
"You want to wipe out all the living beings in the Nine Prefectures, but you want me to join your world. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Xiao Chen's eyes became colder and colder.
The unparalleled expert Ge Qian sighed and shook his head. He said, "No wonder even though you have unparalleled battle prowess, you still can't step into the realm of ancestor gods. You have too many fetters, too many things that you can't let go of. If this goes on, you will stop here."
Ge Qian paused for a while and continued, "What does the death of those ants have to do with you? You have already transcended and are no longer an ignorant ant. You should be living together with the same kind of people in your realm. Why do you still need to continue rolling around in the dust? "
"It really is the law of the jungle. The tyrannical side is suppressing the righteous side."
Xiao Chen sighed.
"Survival of the fittest, survival of the strong. This is the law of nature."
Ge Qian's expression became even more indifferent. He said, "Let me give you the simplest example. Sheep eat grass and humans eat sheep. Is there anything wrong with this? In your eyes, isn't this the law of nature? From this, you can stand at a higher position and look at the world. Compared to you and me, what are the people in the mortal world if not ants? The relationship between those ants and us is like that between grass and sheep, and between sheep and humans. If you can't even understand this, it will be hard for you to advance in your entire life. "
"Your parents gave birth to you, and in the end, you became far stronger than them. At that time, did you think of them as ants, creatures different from you?"
Ge Qian smiled faintly and said to an otherworldly Ancestor God beside him, "Tell him how I achieved my current status."
That otherworldly Ancestor God replied, "Not long after Lord Ge Qian was born, his parents died in battle. He grew up in the battle with his nine elder brothers. He killed all his elder brothers one after another and devoured their Soul Energy of the same origin, becoming an unparalleled Ancestor God."
Xiao Chen sucked in a breath of cold air. This seemingly calm middle-aged man with a special temperament was simply a demon.
"I have nothing to say to a heartless, cold-blooded person like you."
Ge Qian shook his head and said, "You are very stubborn, but do you know that one of the geniuses of the Nine Prefectures has already joined our world? As long as you can think it through, you can turn the sea into the sky."
"Who is it?"
"You won't know even if I tell you. However, if you can survive, you will see him one day."
Speaking until here, Ge Qian looked in the direction of the Nine Prefectures emotionlessly and said, "Now, I invite you to watch the show."
Speaking until here, he gently pointed, and a divine rainbow immediately soared into the sky, flying towards the Nine Prefectures.
"You …"
Xiao Chen immediately sent out a Heavenly Mark to block it.
"Can you really stop it?"
Ge Qian revealed a cruel smile on his calm face. He pointed again, and a long rainbow soared into the sky, descending towards the Nine Prefectures.
At the same time, the four great otherworldly ancestor gods turned into four beams of light and flew towards the Nine Prefectures.
"Rumble …"
Blood light soared into the sky, and all the living beings in a certain area of the Nine Prefectures had their blood evaporated. With the Clairvoyant, one could clearly see the tragic scene there. Hundreds of thousands of corpses were too horrible to look at.
"Boom …"
The moment the four great ancestor gods descended, another four areas crumbled. Millions of living beings collapsed between heaven and earth, and their blood dyed the ground red.
Xiao Chen stood up from the surface of the sea, but he knew there was no way to stop it. The demon in front of him was definitely a supreme ancestor god, and with the four great ancestor gods by his side, there was nothing he could do.
"Actually, I didn't want to kill those ants so early, but you have disappointed me today. I feel that there is no need for a stubborn race like the human race to continue existing. Perhaps it really is time to change to a new race as soon as possible."
Xiao Chen didn't say anything else. He brought Yan Qingcheng through the barrier of the big world in an instant, and was about to return to the world of the dead. He couldn't stop the tragedy from happening here, and he couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, it's not impossible for me to change my mind."
The demon Ge Qian said indifferently.
The moment he was about to disappear, Xiao Chen appeared again and said, "Are you threatening me? Tell me, what do you want?
"I have a ruined city here …"
Speaking until here, a yellow light flashed in Ge Qian's petrified left hand, and a ruined Immemorial Demon City appeared. Although it was only the size of a palm, the dreadful aura it emitted was fluctuating like a vast ocean.
"This is the ancient city where I once slept. What a pity, it ended up like this in the end. I woke up in advance."
Ge Qian sighed and said, "I'm very sorry about this …"
"What do you want?"
"I've already heard that you brought two divine cities to my world last time and caused a huge commotion. Since you have such resources, I want to make a deal with you. You repair this divine city for me with the help of the other wastelands, and I'll let all the living beings in the Nine Provinces go."
Ge Qian said in an indifferent manner.
"What a big appetite you have. You still want to take the last step?"
Xiao Chen looked at him coldly.
"I've already walked out of the divine city, it's impossible for me to take the last step."
Ge Qian caressed the ruined ancient city in his hand and said, "I only want to strengthen this city a little, so that I can petrify another arm in the future."
Speaking until here, Ge Qian looked at Xiao Chen and said, "How about this, I'll give you another hope. If you help me repair the divine city, I've decided to completely preserve all the living beings in the Nine Prefectures and not kill them. Although I know that your Ancestor God has already done his best to bring away a large number of ants, and there are already seeds of hope, I think you won't be willing to let all these ants be killed just because you're unwilling to cooperate, right?"
"You …"
There's no need to rush to answer me. Speaking until here, Ge Qian directly took out the ruined divine city and flew towards Xiao Chen.
The palm-sized ancient city was already simple and unadorned. Xiao Chen only managed to get his hands on it after using his supreme strength. He had an urge to immediately smash it into pieces, but he endured it in the end.
"You can take the divine city away and give it to me after you repair it."
Ge Qian didn't seem to be worried at all.
Xiao Chen used his powerful divine sense to search every inch of the ruined divine city. After that, he didn't say anything and disappeared from this world with a flash of light.
Just at this moment, the four Ancestor Gods flew back from the Nine Prefectures and appeared in front of Ge Qian.
"Lord, how can you take such a risk? You can't hand the divine city over to him."
"What if he ruthlessly destroys your city? What should we do then?"
"Don't worry, that's a small matter!"
Ge Qian's expression was gloomy and unfathomable.
During the process of returning to the World of Death, Xiao Chen had been using the incomplete divine map and the two heavenly marks to suppress the palm-sized ancient city. After returning, he chose an uninhabited area and carefully sized up the city. After standing there silently for a long time, he finally made a decision.
"Bang …"
The divine map pressed down and shook repeatedly. In the end, the city was crushed into pieces!
But just at this moment, the moment the divine city collapsed, a stone mountain flew out from within. There were actually three swords stabbed into it!
