Chapter 665: First Ancestor Opens Eyes

Before the merit judgment came out, Lin Yuan had thought that his merits would be a lot.

But he did not expect it to be this much, reaching a full 360 billion merits.

However, thinking about it carefully, it was also very reasonable; the entire Gold Mist Treasure Land belonged to Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom entirely because of Lin Yuan.

It was equivalent to Lin Yuan single-handedly snatching this treasure land from the hands of Peak Heavenly Venerables of other Ancient Kingdoms.

Having such high merits was only normal.

As for the fact that this treasure land currently belonged entirely to Lin Yuan, to the Ancient Kingdom, it was not considered much of a loss.

The Emperor had long since said that when Lin Yuan attempted the final step in the future, and the treasure land was guarded by descendants, the relationship with Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom would return to normal.

In other words, this Gold Mist Treasure Land still belonged to the Ancient Kingdom.

From the perspective of lengthening the timeline, Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom did not lose out.

If Lin Yuan smoothly stepped into the First Ancestor level, opened up the Seventh Ancient Kingdom, and existed eternally, he would naturally be able to continue controlling this treasure land.

It was just that at the level of the First Ancestor, he probably would not even look at the rare treasures produced within the treasure land.

Up to now, among the many treasure lands mastered by the Six Ancient Kingdoms, none of the First Ancestors had ever been heard to have a demand for them.

"Milky Way Heavenly Lord."

At this time, Chiyan Celestial tentatively asked, "How many merits did you obtain?"

After Chiyan Celestial finished asking, feeling that he was slightly rash, he immediately added, "I am just asking."

"360 billion merits." Lin Yuan did not hide it and said directly.

Reaching his level, numerous treasures and merits could protect everything; there was no need to hide or keep a low profile.

"So many merits!" Chiyan Celestial exclaimed in his heart.

Even if one won a total war against other Ancient Kingdoms, the commander-in-chief would nowhere near obtain this many merits.

But thinking of Lin Yuan's overwhelming strength inside the treasure land, Chiyan Celestial did not have any other thoughts.

These merits were all deserved by Milky Way Heavenly Lord.

Next.

Lin Yuan conversed with Chiyan Celestial for a few more sentences.

The latter then stood up to take his leave.

During the period after returning from fighting for the treasure land, Chiyan Celestial often visited to ask Lin Yuan how to excavate the First Ancestor Bloodline to the Heavenly Venerable level.

Lin Yuan naturally gave guidance; in his subsequent plans, he would spread the branches of the Martial Dao Evolution path, which included methods and means to excavate one's own First Ancestor Bloodline.

Guiding Chiyan Celestial now was equivalent to imperceptibly pulling his influence into the Martial Dao branch, which also had a very good effect on Lin Yuan establishing 'anchors' and 'beacons'.

A top Peak Heavenly Venerable voluntarily stepping onto the Martial Dao branch far surpassed hundreds of millions upon millions of practitioners in their impact on the Martial Dao Evolution path.

This was also the reason why Lin Yuan basically always offered guidance when facing requests for advice from other Celestial Reverends.

It was all to lay the groundwork for spreading the Martial Dao branch.

Compared to spreading the Martial Dao branch from bottom to top, spreading it from top to bottom would definitely be faster and better in effect.

"What should the 360 billion merits be exchanged for?"

Lin Yuan watched Chiyan Celestial leave and began to ponder how to use so many merits.

Inside the treasure vault of Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, the highest merit exchange required 100 billion merits, which included First Ancestor possession opportunities, supreme Legacy, First Ancestor weapons, and so on.

Among them, the supreme Legacy referred to Thirteenth Order Legacy, and the First Ancestor weapons were Thirteenth Order weapons.

"Let's go take a look first."

Lin Yuan split off a trace of divine sense, entered the Ancient Kingdom treasure vault, and began to quickly browse through it.

The Legacies, treasures, and rare items collected in the Ancient Kingdom treasure vault were vast like a smoke and sea, and Lin Yuan first exchanged for all the remaining Chaotic Mystery Diagrams.

The Chaotic Mystery Diagrams that Lin Yuan once needed to exchange for bit by bit were now exchanged without even blinking an eye.

"Chaotic Mystery Diagrams." Lin Yuan roughly glanced at them; the mystery diagrams he exchanged for were all the remaining mystery diagrams representing the Chaos Third Realm.

Such carriers containing the fundamental veins of Chaos were very necessary to exchange for, belonging to the most cost-effective Legacy guide.

"The rest—"

Lin Yuan began to view them from high to low.

"First Ancestor weapon."

Lin Yuan observed a crimson spear.

This spear was a weapon of Fiery Sun First Ancestor, and also a Thirteenth Order weapon. What Lin Yuan saw was merely the image and picture of this spear, yet he felt as if this spear was about to pierce through the entire Origin World, pierce through the shackles of time and space, pierce through the shackles of Karma, and pierce through all obstacles.

"A purely offensive Thirteenth Order weapon; nothing can block this strike. I even feel that under full activation, the entire Origin World could be pierced with a hole."

Lin Yuan muttered to himself.

He also had a Thirteenth Order weapon, which was precisely the Heavenly Void Cauldron obtained from Your Majesty Xuan Huang.

But that Heavenly Void Cauldron was not a purely offensive weapon; it had many effects such as defense and suppression.

As for this crimson spear, it had only one use: to pierce through everything before it.

"One hundred billion merits allow one to comprehend this First Ancestor weapon for ten thousand years."

Lin Yuan looked at the introductory information of this spear and slightly shook his head.

This Thirteenth Order weapon was of little use to him.

In terms of strength, Lin Yuan was already at the Invincible Celestial Venerable level, and fundamentally had no need to borrow this First Ancestor weapon.

In terms of comprehension, Lin Yuan was currently comprehending the operation of the Origin World Origin through the Gold Mist Treasure Land. This spear definitely contained Fiery Sun First Ancestor's understanding of Dao rules, but it was still considered to be born out of this Origin World.

Comprehending this First Ancestor weapon was not as good as directly comprehending the operation of the Origin World Origin for Lin Yuan.

In the Chaos Void, Lin Yuan comprehended that Heavenly Void Cauldron because he could not observe the operation of the Chaotic Void Origin.

"Supreme Legacy."

Lin Yuan glanced over several First Ancestor weapons and turned to look at the supreme Legacy.

Each supreme Legacy was worth 100 billion merits, and this was the path leading to the Strongest Celestial Venerable.

Of course, cultivating a supreme Legacy and successfully mastering a supreme Legacy were completely different matters.

The Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Six Ancient Kingdoms basically all exchanged for one supreme Legacy. Although 100 billion merits were a lot, in the eyes of Peak Heavenly Venerables, accumulating them over trillions upon trillions of years was still very hopeful.

However, there were many Peak Heavenly Venerables who cultivated supreme Legacies, but those who could finally master them and thereby reach the Strongest Celestial Venerable level were still very few.

"These supreme Legacies."

Lin Yuan looked carefully. There were a total of nine supreme Legacies in the treasure vault. Excluding three whose side effects were too great—for example, the prerequisite for cultivating *Heart of Blazing Sun* was losing most of one's rationality, which Lin Yuan was unwilling to Cultivate—

the remaining six supreme Legacies were being carefully selected by Lin Yuan.

The most important thing in cultivating a supreme Legacy was suitability; for example, Lin Yuan was extremely compatible with *Infinite Void*, which was why he could successfully enter the threshold and subsequently easily Cultivate to his current stage.

"Supreme Legacy, let's delay it a bit."

Lin Yuan steadied his mind and looked towards the very top of the treasure vault.

That was also the Legacy guide that all Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Six Ancient Kingdoms who were attempting the final step would exchange for.

First Ancestor possession opportunity.

Numerous Peak Heavenly Venerables might choose differently when it comes to supreme Legacies, but they would uniformly exchange for a First Ancestor possession opportunity.

In fact, a large portion of Peak Heavenly Venerables exchanged for First Ancestor possession opportunities more than once; as long as they had enough merits, they could exchange multiple times.

"First Ancestor possession."

Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts. Observing all things from the perspective of a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform, what kind of exaggerated encounter was this? Peerless Great Saints and even Invincible Great Saints in the Chaos Void would not even dare to dream of having such an opportunity.

"I have now also reached Chaos Realm Perfection, and can completely try First Ancestor possession."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, First Ancestor possession, perceiving space-time from the height of the First Ancestor, would definitely have a huge impact on oneself.

Especially for an existence like Lin Yuan whose Comprehension Ability was Heaven-Defying, it was of even more extraordinary significance.

"Exchange."

Lin Yuan immediately chose to exchange.

Suddenly, the merit 'balance' decreased by 100 billion.

Not long after exchanging for the 'First Ancestor possession' opportunity,

Lin Yuan received a voice transmission from the Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom.

"Hahaha, Milky Way, I knew you would exchange for this."

The Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom had no surprise whatsoever.

Any Peak Heavenly Venerables who gathered 100 billion merits would first exchange for a First Ancestor possession opportunity.

"I currently only have one Incarnation, will it affect the possession?" Lin Yuan inquired.

"It doesn't matter."

"This won't have any impact."

Said the Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom.

"That's good."

Lin Yuan nodded.

If there were an impact, he would switch back to his true body and original self guarding the Gold Mist Treasure Land.

"Come over now."

Said the Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom.

"Alright."

Lin Yuan immediately headed to the imperial palace.

Inside the grand hall,

the Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom looked at Lin Yuan and reminded him, "First Ancestor possession yields the greatest insights the first time."

"Understood."

Lin Yuan understood.

"Then let's begin."

"I will send you into a space-time where there is a mark left behind by the First Ancestor. After you arrive, just call out to the First Ancestor."

Said the Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom.

Fiery Sun First Ancestor normally would not pay attention to everything happening inside the Ancient Kingdom at all; his mind was placed on higher-level games, unless the capital of Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom was threatened or he was called upon.

"Understood."

Lin Yuan nodded.

In a mysterious space-time, there was a crimson high platform.

This was the most mysterious place in Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, capable of directly contacting Fiery Sun First Ancestor. Only by gathering 100 billion merits to exchange for a First Ancestor possession opportunity could one enter this place.

Lin Yuan appeared out of thin air, glanced around, and immediately walked towards the crimson high platform.

The high platform was empty, but Lin Yuan felt a sense of oppression, akin to facing the oppression of the Origin World Origin.

"Greetings, First Ancestor."

Lin Yuan stood before the crimson high platform and actively called out to Fiery Sun First Ancestor.

As soon as the words fell,

a figure vaguely condensed on the high platform before him.

This figure sat cross-legged, similar to the towering figure Lin Yuan saw standing at the highest point in the world of flames, but even more real, as if right before his eyes.

Behind him was a pair of fiery wings, as if containing endless space-time, vast and mighty, without end.

"Fiery Sun First Ancestor is too terrifying; a mere mark can easily destroy all my true bodies, Clones, and Incarnations." Lin Yuan understood this point.

Of course, the true body, original self, and Primordial Spirit Clones located in the Chaos Void would not be destroyed; separated by two dimensions, even Time Lifeforms found it difficult to touch them.

Whoosh!

The cross-legged figure slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Yuan.

"First Ancestor."

Lin Yuan immediately lowered his head.

Fiery Sun First Ancestor's gaze fell on Lin Yuan. As a Time Lifeform, wherever his gaze reached, the future would unfold by itself like paper.

"Hm?" Fiery Sun First Ancestor's expression revealed surprise.

The past was fixed, the future was unfixed, and the future of every moment would extend countless possibilities.

In an instant, Fiery Sun First Ancestor viewed dozens of future timelines concerning Lin Yuan.

However, it was precisely this detailed viewing of the future that made Fiery Sun First Ancestor extremely surprised and even incredulous.
