Chapter 671: Friendly Ancestors

The Fiery Sun First Ancestor glanced at the thick-browed and wide-eyed Barren First Ancestor.

"Addressing each other as equals?"

He was standing right here; if the Barren First Ancestor addressed the Milky Way Heavenly Lord as an equal, where did that leave him?

The Dark Yin First Ancestor's expression changed slightly.

"That old fellow Barren, is he buttering up already?"

"As a dignified Time Lifeform, he is actually so shameless!"

"I think Barren's proposal is very good."

The Great Spirit First Ancestor nodded, "I also hit it off with Little Brother Milky Way immediately, as if we've known each other for a long time. Come to think of it, the Azure Ember Domain where Little Brother Milky Way first appeared borders my Great Spirit, which can be considered quite a fate."

The Dark Yin First Ancestor looked at the Great Spirit First Ancestor, as if seeing him in a new light.

"I am still far behind several First Ancestors."

Lin Yuan said immediately.

In terms of strength, he was far inferior to the Thirteenth Order First Ancestors.

If the First Ancestors harbored killing intent toward him, Lin Yuan wouldn't be able to block it at all and could only abandon everything in this Origin World, making further plans after stepping into the Thirteenth Order.

In terms of the years experienced, Lin Yuan was likewise far inferior to the First Ancestors.

Even the youngest Barren First Ancestor was incomparably ancient; converted to the time of the Chaos Void, it was trillions upon trillions of cosmic eras ago.

Therefore, Lin Yuan still held considerable awe and respect toward the First Ancestors.

This was respect for the pioneers on the path of evolution.

"Come in and talk slowly."

The Fiery Sun First Ancestor spoke. It wasn't proper for six First Ancestors, plus Lin Yuan as a future First Ancestor, to stand outside, so naturally they had to come in and chat slowly.

A moment later.

The Fiery Sun First Ancestor led the five First Ancestors and Lin Yuan into a grand hall inside the imperial palace.

This grand hall was the one with the highest rules in the capital city. Ordinarily, even emperors couldn't enter it, and only First Ancestors could activate it. Now that the five First Ancestors were paying a visit, they naturally discussed matters in this grand hall.

Before entering this grand hall, the Fiery Sun First Ancestor had prepared everything, long instructing subordinates to send over precious delicacies and fine wine.

The six First Ancestors walked into the grand hall, and Lin Yuan followed them inside, taking their respective seats among the seven seats.

These seven seats had no distinction of hierarchy and were dispersed in a circle, specifically arranged by the Fiery Sun First Ancestor, and the other five First Ancestors had no objections whatsoever.

In their view, Lin Yuan would sooner or later become a First Ancestor alongside them. Although what the Barren First Ancestor said about "addressing each other as equals" had elements of flattery, it was the truth.

No First Ancestor dared to put on airs of a First Ancestor in front of Lin Yuan; even the strongest Great Fush would not do so.

"Hahaha, I've long wanted to taste this pot of Fiery God Wine, but Fiery Sun, you are too stingy on ordinary days."

The Great Spirit First Ancestor said with a smile.

Lin Yuan also sat down and glanced at the "Fiery God Wine" mentioned by the Great Spirit First Ancestor.

He had never heard of this name, but judging by the expression of the Great Spirit First Ancestor, it was clearly a fine wine that Time Lifeforms yearned for quite a bit.

Attendants continuously served fine food and wine around them. Attendants able to enter and exit this grand hall were all beings at the Heavenly Lord level. Such an Opportunity to be so close to the First Ancestors was something even top Peak Heavenly Venerables could only encounter by luck and never seek.

"I have never seen five First Ancestors visit together."

The attendants entering and exiting the grand hall couldn't help holding their breath, acting with extreme caution.

In the long years of the past, occasionally a certain First Ancestor would visit the Fiery Sun First Ancestor, but all five First Ancestors arriving together? Never.

Especially the oldest Great Fush; wanting this First Ancestor to pay a visit? Too difficult. It was always the Fiery Sun First Ancestor's turn to visit Great Fush.

"And this Milky Way Heavenly Lord, why is he also sitting alongside the six First Ancestors?"

Some attendants recognized Lin Yuan. In fact, given Lin Yuan's reputation, any Great Honored Being with the slightest strength in the entire Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom knew him.

What puzzled the many attendants was: By what right or ability could the Milky Way Heavenly Lord sit side by side with the First Ancestors?

The strength of an Invincible Celestial Venerable?

No matter how strong the strength at the Heavenly Lord level was, so what? Anyone below the First Ancestors was an ant.

Although the attendants had doubts in their hearts, Lin Yuan was sitting there, and the First Ancestors had all tacitly agreed. Naturally, they didn't dare to have any opinions, but curiosity was inevitable in their hearts.

Inside the hall.

The Barren First Ancestor tasted a sip of the "Fiery God Wine", looked at Lin Yuan, and said with a smile, "Little Brother Milky Way hasn't stepped into the Thirteenth Order yet, yet he can possess such combat power. In my view, even that 'Abyssal Dragon' from the very beginning of heaven and earth's creation is nothing more than this."

"That 'Abyssal Dragon' had such strength because it borrowed the Opportunity of heaven and earth's creation, but Little Brother Milky Way has reached this realm entirely through oneself. In the future, if you smoothly achieve a Breakthrough, remember to look after us."

Hearing these words, the entering and exiting attendants' minds instantly went blank.

Look after whom?

Look after a Thirteenth Order being like the Barren First Ancestor?

Putting aside whether the Milky Way Heavenly Lord could step into the Thirteenth Order, even if he could, he would be an expert of the same tier as the Barren First Ancestor. Wasn't it somewhat inappropriate to talk about looking after him?

The many attendants were shocked in their hearts, noticing that the other First Ancestors showed no slightest intention of refuting, but instead quietly sat there smilingly looking at the Milky Way Heavenly Lord.

"I wouldn't dare talk about looking after anyone."

Lin Yuan said.

At this moment, he also realized that the five First Ancestors should have foreseen certain futures of his and thus visited him in advance to build friendly relations.

Naturally, Lin Yuan would not refuse this. The friendly goodwill of a Time Lifeform was definitely not a bad thing, especially given that Lin Yuan had not yet stepped into the Thirteenth Order.

Even if he faced the killing intent of a Time Lifeform and could protect his life, at worst he would just abandon everything in this Origin World.

But since he could grow up safely, there was naturally no need to increase the difficulty for himself.

"Right, Little Brother Milky Way, coming to visit you for the first time, this is a gift I have prepared."

The Barren First Ancestor took out a palm-sized jade axe, inside of which was imbued with a sharp aura capable of severing everything.

The feeling this jade axe gave Lin Yuan was even above that crimson-red spear in the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom's treasury.

"This is?"

Lin Yuan looked at the jade axe in front of the Barren First Ancestor, his expression slightly surprised.

A Thirteenth Order weapon.

The Barren First Ancestor just gave it to him like this?

Lin Yuan thought of the Heavenly Void Cauldron in the Chaos Void. Back then, Your Majesty Xuan Huang spared no effort to break through to the Thirteenth Order prematurely for the sake of this Thirteenth Order weapon, paying too many costs and sacrifices; even so, it could still only be considered temporarily keeping custody of that Heavenly Void Cauldron.

Once the master of the Thirteenth Order weapon here wanted to recall it, it was just a matter of a single thought.

And now, he had so easily obtained a Thirteenth Order weapon? And the kind without any future troubles?

"This axe is named the Ancient Origin Axe. It was forged after I roamed the dimensional gaps, discovered a special material called Ancient Origin Essence, and spent three hundred billion years refining it. In terms of offensive might, it can be called top-tier."

The Barren First Ancestor said with a smiling squint, "Little Brother Milky Way, you cannot urge the might of this axe right now, but waiting until the future, it should be able to play some use."

"This is too precious."

Lin Yuan looked at the Ancient Origin Axe.

Although the Barren First Ancestor spoke casually, Lin Yuan could also hear the preciousness of this jade axe, which was even above ordinary Thirteenth Order weapons.

"It's nothing much."

The Barren First Ancestor shook his head and said, "I have already found a weapon more suitable for myself. Keeping this Ancient Origin Axe by my side has no meaning, so it's better to find a more suitable master for it."

"Barren, if you feel it has no meaning, you can give it to me."

The Dark Yin First Ancestor couldn't help saying from the side.

"Give it to you?"

The Barren First Ancestor glared, "It's not suitable for you anyway."

"Little Brother Milky Way, please don't look down on it."

The Barren First Ancestor turned his head to look at Lin Yuan.

"Hahaha, Milky Way, just accept it. This is indeed a good treasure."

The Fiery Sun First Ancestor said with a smile from the side.

"Right, accept it."

The Barren First Ancestor nodded, and then pushed the palm-sized jade axe in front of Lin Yuan.

"Thank you."

Lin Yuan didn't decline either, and nodded as he spoke.

"Little Brother Milky Way."

Right at this moment, Great Fush looked at Lin Yuan with a smile, "Previously, Little Brother Milky Way, you specifically asked for a hundred catties of 'dragon abyss blood', so you must be quite curious about that 'Abyssal Dragon'."

Great Fush continued, "After much thought, I prepared this trinket for Little Brother Milky Way."

As Great Fush spoke, a beating heart appeared in front of him.

As the heart beat, invisible power permeated through layers of time and space. The heart itself was like a reduced-version Origin World, emitting a terrifying aura with every beat.

"This is?"

"The Abyssal Dragon's heart?"

Lin Yuan had refined quite a bit of 'dragon abyss blood' and immediately recognized the source of this heart.

"Not bad."

Great Fush nodded, "That Abyssal Dragon was the first lifeform at the very beginning of this heaven and earth's creation, carrying countless fortunes and opportunities. Back then, after I suppressed and killed it, the remaining vital spirits and blood formed the treasure land of Dragon Abyss Valley, but the most essential part of that Abyssal Dragon was refined by me into this heart."

"Contemplating this heart allows one to sense many secrets of that Abyssal Dragon, especially many fortunes regarding the very beginning of this heaven and earth's birth."

Great Fush said concisely.

"This?"

Lin Yuan looked at the heart in front of Great Fush, knowing its degree of preciousness.

Although the Abyssal Dragon was not a Thirteen Step Time Life, it was the first lifeform nurtured by the Origin World and had an extraordinary connection with the Origin World. Contemplating and refining the heart it left behind would inherit certain essences of that Abyssal Dragon.

Especially since Lin Yuan sensed the aura of a miniature Origin World from this heart.

The Abyssal Dragon was favored by heaven and earth; every particle contained a vast world, and the world nurtured by its heart was even more of a miniature Origin World.

Its value was so great that it even surpassed a Thirteenth Order weapon.

"Little Brother Milky Way, do not decline. To me, this heart no longer has any use."

Great Fush unceremoniously delivered the Abyssal Dragon's heart in front of Lin Yuan.

Next.

The remaining several First Ancestors also successively presented gifts for their visit, either Thirteenth Order weapons or rare treasures only found in dimensional gaps. In short, Lin Yuan had never heard of them before this.

The attendants coming and going through the grand hall were completely numb. They watched with their own eyes as the First Ancestors sent piece after piece of incomparably precious treasures, rare items, and weapons to the Milky Way Heavenly Lord, especially given the extremely cordial postures of all the First Ancestors.

Which almost made the attendants think what they were seeing was an illusion.

Weren't the First Ancestors said to be high above, detached, and cold? Viewing all living beings as ants?

Even Great Fush, who most favored descendants and posterity, would not view any single descendant with much importance.

What Great Fush valued was the collective descendants; individual descendants were actually not cared about much.

But now?

All the attendants only felt that when facing the Milky Way Heavenly Lord, the First Ancestors were incomparably friendly and cordial.

Like kind elders, far from being as cold and merciless as rumored.

PS: It is currently double monthly votes time, asking for a wave of early October base monthly votes.

Tomorrow we will see if we can add an extra chapter. We will strive to update diligently in October, and the main character will soon become a Time Lifeform, at most a matter of half a month to a month.

Finally, begging, begging, begging, begging for early October base monthly votes.
