Chapter 2084 - 2083: The Time Ancient God's Conjecture, the Holy Court's Scheme

"I observed the fortune of the Ancient God inheritance and found that a large portion is gathered upon you, which isn't hard to guess," explained Zhuge Changkong.

"What about the matter of the Ancient Demon Cave?" Xu Zimei asked.

"I'm curious as that is also a top-secret mystery, how could you find out."

"The Ancient Demon Cave, ah, this brings us to talk about the Seal of the Ancient Demon Cave," Zhuge Changkong laughed.

"You only know one thing, but not the other.

Do you know what the seal of the Ancient Demon Cave was back in the day?"

"Wasn't it the power of the Heavenly Dao?" Xu Zimei asked.

"Although the Heavenly Dao can wield power, it cannot last long.

It's impossible to seal the Ancient Demon Cave for millions of years with the Heavenly Dao.

Otherwise, if it really were the power of the Heavenly Dao, even with the inheritance of the Ten Great Ancient Gods, it would be useless."

Zhuge Changkong replied.

"My Zhuge family has passed down generations; each era has a successor.

This era happens to be me.

In fact, the history of Zhuge Villa is incredibly long, existing on this land when the Robbery Immortal Domain was not yet divided and Blood Fish Bay was not yet established."

"At that time during the Demon Overlord Era, my ancestor also lived through it.

Back then, the Demon Lord went off to challenge Heaven and never returned.

The Demon Race suffered heavy losses, and my ancestor had no choice but to join the Holy Court's camp at that time."

"During the sealing process, my ancestor participated in the most crucial part, so Mr. Zhuge counts as among those who understand the Seal of the Ancient Demon Cave the best."

Upon hearing Zhuge Changkong's words, Lin Ruhu curiously asked, "What does the most crucial part mean?"

"The Demon's Seal uses the Might of Righteous God as the core, supplemented by tens of thousands of other seals to guard it.

To break the seal and resolve the Might of Righteous God, one must use the same divine power."

"When we designed it at the time, we placed demonic qi directly opposite the divine might.

And used divine might as the common core integration point.

You can understand my meaning, right?"

"Using demonic qi to attack, the seal will resist more and more strongly.

Whereas breaking it with divine might can silently dissolve the seal."

"I observe the dense demonic qi on you, like a torrent hanging straight above the Nine Domains, seemingly never to wither."

"You must be a powerful figure among the Demon Race, holding a high position within."

"Simple observation techniques along with simple speculations, you've surprisingly figured out the facts, quite impressive," Xu Zimei laughed.

"Do not underestimate the people of this world," Zhuge Changkong replied.

"You know the Ancient God inheritance serves as the key point to break the seal, in fact, I know, and the Holy Court knows too."

"The Holy Court is your enemy, the eternal enemy of the Demon Race, so they won't just sit back and watch you obtain the Ancient God inheritance."

"And what about you?" Xu Zimei looked at Zhuge Changkong and asked.

"Your ancestor sought refuge with the Holy Court, so I'm curious, are you also subservient to the Holy Court?"

Mr. Zhuge immediately laughed into the sky, laughter piercing through clouds like an unsheathed sword, arrogant beyond compare.

His scholar's robe fluttered with the strong wind, constantly rustling.

"The Holy Court is not a good cooperation partner; partnering with them is akin to plotting with a tiger for its skin."

"My Zhuge family was once so renowned at the time, who in the world didn't know them.

But now, look at me in seclusion here, nobody has heard of the Zhuge name anymore.

All thanks to the Holy Court," Zhuge Changkong said powerfully.

"Why, you were supposed to be partners," Xu Zimei asked with great interest.

"How did it end up in mutual massacre?"

"After the major affliction of the Demon Race was resolved, the Holy Court sought to completely dominate the world, how could they allow our Zhuge family, such a giant, to exist?" Zhuge Changkong said with a bitter smile.

"My ancestor trusted the Holy Court too much; when the war started, he didn't react in time.

Later, our Zhuge family suffered a terrible defeat, confined to one place, gradually declining.

In my generation, already too afraid to emerge, lest the Holy Court targets us again."

Xu Zimei had no desire to judge these matters, for ultimately, history is written by the victors.

Even though the Demon Lord once left behind legendary tales, in the end, he faded into obscurity.

Only the Heavenly Dao remains eternal, still ruling over this land.

So the most important thing is the ultimate victory, not the journey.

"Since you know so much, you should also understand why I've come to you," Xu Zimei said.

"Do you know where the inheritance of the Ancient Gods is?"

"The Space Ancient God Di Jiang is within the Holy Court, do you dare to go?" Zhuge Changkong asked.

The Holy Court plays a good hand.

They scattered the other inheritances across various regions within the Nine Domains, requiring substantial effort from Xu Zimei to collect them.

Yet deliberately left one within the Holy Court.

Bear in mind, the inheritance of the Ten Great Ancient Gods is incomplete if one is missing.

If Xu Zimei desires the Ancient God inheritance, he must face the Holy Court.

The Holy Court doesn't even need to search for Xu Zimei, merely wait for him to come knocking at their door.

If Xu Zimei doesn't come, then the Ancient God inheritance holds no significance.

Indeed, they're quite the strategic thinkers.

Upon hearing Mr. Zhuge's question, Xu Zimei laughed, "I will definitely go to the Holy Court eventually; there will surely be a battle between us.

Unfortunately, it's not the time yet. Since the Space Ancient God's inheritance is within the Holy Court, do you know of the Time Ancient God Zuo Jiuyin's inheritance?"

"Are you afraid of the Holy Court?" Zhuge Changkong asked.

"I'm not afraid, I need to prepare some things, it's just that the timing is not yet right," Xu Zimei shook his head.

"Since I've chosen this path, no matter how strong the enemies ahead are, they will eventually be flattened by me."

"Since you've passed three trials, then I can answer one question for free," Zhuge Changkong said.

"Time Ancient God's inheritance is somewhat unique, it is not within the Nine Domains.

Or to be precise, it is not within the surface world of the Nine Domains."

"Have you heard of the Sea of Time?"

Upon this mention by Zhuge Changkong, both Xu Zimei and Lin Ruhu shook their heads.

Even though Xu Zimei is quite knowledgeable about the Nine Domains World, he's never heard of this place called the Sea of Time.

"Do you know what Great Dao the Time Ancient God researched?"

"Time?" Lin Ruhu tentatively asked.

"Wrong, eternal life," Zhuge Changkong laughed.

"The Ten Great Ancient Gods at the time all reached the extreme in pursuing their Great Dao.

Moreover, their Great Dao provided significant help to their successors.

To some extent, they served as pioneers for many powerful beings."

"Back then, the Time Ancient God Zuo Jiuyin proposed such a notion.

He believed humans die because, under the flow of time, their bodies are driven into a retreating or aging process."

"So he pondered, if time stops or reverses, could it cause the skills of the human body to peak or return to youth."
