Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Chapter 488: Chapter 12: Curtain Falls

The Infinite Ancestor suddenly erupted with dazzling light, enveloping each Ancestor, and immediately these Ancestors vanished into thin air, all hiding within the ’Initial Ancestor’.

Only fourteen undying and undestroyable beings remained outside.

“Withdraw.”

Mother of Space-Time, along with her companions, quickly delved into time and space to escape.

While fleeing, the Ice Peak Ancestor, Infinite Snake Ancestor, and Wugu Ancestor looked back at the eight lords.

“Don’t pursue them,” said Starlight.

This time, the participating Ancestors mostly had strong survival abilities. Previously, with layers of formations protecting them, it was very difficult to kill them! Now that they have hidden inside the Initial Ancestor, even if Luo Feng and the others could strike a blade into the Initial Ancestor, the residual power of the blade light would not threaten the more than sixty Ancestors inside.

If the Ancestors truly decided to flee, the eight lords indeed couldn’t stop them.

Swoosh!

Mother of Space-Time, carrying her companions, moved silently forward, while the fourteen undying and undestroyable beings remained silent.

They were forced to flee!

This result had already shown itself!

“Although unwilling to admit it, the result is right in front of us, we lost,” the voice of the Infinite Ancestor rang out, “Even though we set up multiple layers of formations, the blade light formed by the eight lords could still penetrate the formations and threaten the safety of the Ancestors. The Ancestors are unwilling to continue fighting, and we can’t force them.”

The Inference Fire Ancestor added, “Those who reach the undying and undestroyable state are ultimately very few.”

“I could have threatened the lords somewhat, yet you all had no other ways?” Mogus said, rather annoyed.

“They, the eight lords, are flawless in substance, energy, fluctuations, life… Moreover, with Yuan’s perfectly coordinated formation forming the battle array, no matter what techniques we use, we can’t break it,” the Ice Peak Ancestor said helplessly.

Each lord had mastered their own path perfectly, and the eight of them working together could restrict all methods.

“Only in the soul direction are they not proficient,” the Ice Peak Ancestor said.

“They are all Creatures of the Source World, cultivated from the very bottom, none of them have weak spiritual will,” Mogus said coldly, “Even the relatively weaker ’Jin and Nai Gu’ are of top-notch level among the Ancestors.”

It was only after clashing with the lords that the fearsome nature of these lords was understood!

“I can confirm that under my soul techniques, Yuan, Jin, and Nai Gu have definitely been injured,” Mogus said.

“Couldn’t see their injuries just now in the fight,” Infinite Snake Ancestor and Ice Peak Ancestor both looked at Mogus.

Earlier, the one blade from the eight lords combined indeed had terrifying power.

Mogus remained silent.

It was indeed impossible to see any injuries on the eight lords in the recent fight. In truth, Yuan and Nai Gu were at peak strength, while only Jin’s strength was compromised. Yet with the eight united, the impact of Jin’s injury was quite minimal.

“I have done everything I could, and with six helpers, this is the extent of my capability,” Mogus swept his gaze over the thirteen, “Unless you find a more formidable soul specialist, I won’t engage in battles with the lords again.”

Upon finishing, Mogus disappeared without a sound.

Being entirely composed of soul power, apart from Starlight, no one could trace its whereabouts.

“Mogus is gone.”

The Infinite Snake Ancestor said, “In the future, it might not have the courage to directly fight the cultivator side; at most, it will covertly devour the souls of the Creatures of the Source World.”

“What should we do next?” Ice Peak Ancestor looked at it.

“There’s nothing we can do.”

The Infinite Snake Ancestor said, “The Ancestors also fear death. Without enough security assurance, they cannot participate in large-scale wars! Only we, the undying and undestroyable, have no fear of them.”

“But even if we join forces, we would be blasted apart head-on by them! We need to accumulate power.” The Infinite Snake Ancestor said, “This time it was because of Luo Feng’s rise that the cultivator camp underwent a transformation. Perhaps in the future, one of our Ancestors can emerge comparable to Luo Feng, able to cause our power to transform. Or maybe a being similar to ’Yuan’ can appear, allowing our formation cooperation to transform.”

In terms of formations, the Ancestors fell far short compared to Yuan.

“Unfortunately, Pu Cheng, Xiu Saiwei, Giant God Emperor, Kafu, Feather Emperor, Hermit—all of them refuse to fight,” Ice Peak Ancestor shook its head, “The power we two deploy barely amounts to half of the Ancestors’ strength.”

The cultivator camp, on one side befriend Kafu, Demon Ruins, Feather Emperor, Giant God Emperor, Pu Cheng, Xiu Saiwei, and other friends. On the other side, they only seek the Source World, no longer expanding the territory. Thus, greatly reducing the number of enemies.

…

In the Endless Primordial Space, the Ancestors who did not participate in the war were all remotely observing this battle.

“Even when the big snake and the Ice Peak joined forces, they couldn’t suppress Luo Feng and the others,” Kafu grinned, “The eight lords have openly promised not to expand, yet the big snake wants to press down on them? Isn’t that just asking for humiliation?”

“Although they lost, the cultivator side will substantially lead; however, the big snakes will never acknowledge the rule of the cultivator side,” said Feather Emperor.

“The big snake’s temperament is such that it will never recognize it,” Demon Ruins agreed, “Whenever the chance arises, it will definitely counterattack.”

These are ancient beings who have lived for endless ages with enough patience.

The failure of this era does not mean permanent failure.

Who knows, a powerful ancestor might emerge? Perhaps the Infinite Snake Ancestor, Ice Peak Ancestor, or Sha Zhou’s strength will make a breakthrough?

“There will be rarely any battles of this scale in the long years to come,” the Hermit said.

“Yes, the ordinary Ancestors will not easily join the battle anymore,” the Feather Emperor concurred. “The order of the Endless Primordial Space has changed starting today!”

******

Southern River Territory.

Luo Feng and the other seven were quite elated.

“In this great war, we paid some price,” the Starlight Lord smiled and said, “but we have thoroughly shattered the Ancestors’ morale, leading all Source Worlds without obstruction!”

“We’ve finally waited for this day,” Wulan was quite excited.

“To lead all Source Worlds.” Luo Feng, Yuan, Mo Man, and each Lord felt exhilarated.

Finally achieving this goal!

The creatures of the Source Worlds are no longer just food!

“Next, we eight Lords will have to work hard,” the Starlight Lord said. “We need to divide our thoughts, descending a wisp of thought into each Source World. We need to guide the development and evolution of one Source World after another, completely annihilating the residual power of the Innate Primordial Life, while leaving some legacies to guide these Source World creatures in their cultivation.”

Luo Feng and the others nodded.

The Source Worlds in those territories are indeed quite miserable.

“To divide countless thoughts, each thought needs to do many things in a Source World, indeed very arduous,” Starlight looked at Yuan, “Brother Yuan, we need a simple division of territory, you preside over it.”

“Hahaha…”

Yuan laughed heartily, “I’ve worked hard for endless eras, now I finally lead all Source Worlds. I think I can rest a little. This newly conquered territory I’ll divide into ten portions, I’ll take one portion and call it a day.”

Everyone present was surprised.

In nurturing the next generation, Yuan was the most dedicated and proactive, yet now he only wants one portion of the territory?

“I don’t want any territory in the newly occupied area,” Nai Gu spoke deeply, “in the coming years, I need to fully focus on the ’Primordial Bloodline Path.’”

This time affected by the Soul Technique, starting early on the ’Heart Cutting Technique’ path, Nai Gu knew it was necessary to concentrate all energy on cultivation. Once a problem arose, it would be a huge trouble.

“Nai Gu should indeed focus more on cultivation!” Starlight nodded.

“I’ll take one portion,” Ming Huang spoke.

“I also want one portion of territory,” the wounded Jin didn’t care about the injury, still wanted one portion of territory.

Wulan and Mo Man also only wanted one portion of territory each.

The accumulated territories in the Cultivator Territory and Southern River Territory were already enormous. The even more vast newly conquered territories? The Lords also felt pressured.

“Ten new territories, Nai Gu doesn’t want any, we five will each take one portion. That leaves Luo Feng and Starlight,” Yuan looked at the remaining two.

“The territory is too vast, traveling is difficult enough, I’ll take two portions of territory,” Luo Feng said.

Starlight, traveling through time and space, surpassed any existence in terms of speed, fit to manage a larger territory.

“Three portions for you,” Starlight said with a frown. “In the coming years, I need to set up the complete Space-Time Net in the ’Southern River Territory,’ and for all newly conquered Source Worlds… more desolate and remote, although not requiring a complete Space-Time Net, a simple space-time transmission channel still needs to be set up. I also need to create a large number of worlds as space-time anchors! I really can’t manage more, barely able to manage two more portions.”

“Wherever you need worlds created, we will help you,” Lord Mo Man said.

“Of course I need your help! Otherwise, the new territory scattered across the Endless Primordial Space, how could I manage it all alone,” Starlight said. “In each of your territories, all worlds needed for space-time anchors, must be built by you yourselves.”

Luo Feng listened.

“We need to build in our new territories?” Wulan, Jin, and the others all felt the pressure.

“You already have it easy; I need to construct the Space-Time Net, set up space-time anchors in the worlds you create, and in my territory, I also need to create worlds myself. Even in the Cultivator Territory and Southern River Territory, where the Space-Time Net is widespread, I must also garrison,” Starlight looked at the seven, “even so, I still manage two territories. You guys must be understanding!”

The Lords remained silent.

Starlight was indeed too busy.

“Alright, I’ll take three portions,” Luo Feng immediately agreed.

“Luo Feng, your power makes some Ancestors fearful. You should take on more responsibility,” Starlight said.

“Hahaha, now that it’s settled, let everyone get busy,” Yuan said with a smile.

Rustle, rustle, rustle!

The eight Lords each took action.

Luo Feng also instantly divided many thoughts, remotely descending into the Source Worlds within his new territories, manifesting in units of ’hundreds of millions’ of Source Worlds.

“In the Southern River Territory, my territory contains more than three hundred million Source Worlds.”

“The newly conquered broader territory contains 2.7 billion Source Worlds.”

Counting his territory within the original Cultivator Territory, the total number of Source Worlds he led was over three billion.

“Let’s work hard to develop them well first.”

Luo Feng also began the arduous task of managing the Source Worlds.
