Chapter 798: Ancient God Era

"You don't even know Zhuzhao?" Wu Zu stared at Zhang Xuan, "But it's true, Zhuzhao lived billions of years ago."

"Billions of years ago?!" Zhang Xuan was shocked.

No wonder, when he was talking to the guy with big eyes.

Asked about its origin.

Those big eyes seem to be still before the ancient times.

Now it seems that billions of years ago was before the ancient times.

Wu Zu ignored the surprised expressions of the crowd and spoke calmly:

"At that time, there were no four sacred beasts. There were only two ancient divine beasts, named Zhuzhao and Youying. The period when the two ancient divine beasts ruled was also called the Ancient Divine Era."

"It was not until the ancient catastrophe that the Zhuzhao and Youming were destroyed. Under their relics, thousands of years ago, the four sacred beasts were nurtured. They are the True Phoenix, the Heavenly Dragon, the Qilin, and the Mysterious Netherworld."

"The Holy Ancient Calamity broke out, which led to the rise of the modern era where the Heavenly Dragon transformed into the Nine Provinces and the Dragon Qi surrounded us."

Although Wu Zu's face was calm, from his description, Zhang Xuan seemed to see a magnificent and glorious historical scroll.

The strongest ones appear again and again, and are annihilated in the catastrophe again and again.

After they disappeared, only myths and legends about them were left behind for future generations to admire and worship.

Zhang Xuan once again thought of the eyes that talked to him in the Wuhai.

I didn’t expect that he was so powerful, even before Tianlong.

Back then, he was refining elixirs in the holy land of Danfeng.

He refined the third-level Heavenly Ape Golden Pill and was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the Pill Emperor transformed by the Heavenly Dragon.

This is the blessing of a lifetime.

Unexpectedly, this trip to Wuhai would allow him to see the candlelight from billions of years ago.

Moreover, his "Zhu Zhao He Yi Treasure Book" was actually deduced for him by Zhu Zhao and named after him.

"Senior said that the one in Wu Hai is Zhu Zhao..." Zhang Xuan still hasn't recovered from the indescribable shock.

"Wu Hai is not Zhu Zhao, but that eye is related to Zhu Zhao."

"Senior has also seen that eye."

"I have drifted in the Witch Sea for countless years, so I have naturally seen that eye before and it is quite familiar to me. However, that eye is too old, so old that it has lost most of its memories."

"This eye has been collecting souls. What is its purpose?"

"What else could it be? No matter how powerful they are, whether they are human or beastman, what they pursue is nothing more than four words - the great way of immortality!"

"The Great Dao is eternal..." Zhang Xuan silently recited these four words, "Zhu Zhao has been submerged countless years ago, and has gone through many calamities. How can it still be alive?"

"No."

"It's dead?"

"nor."

Zhang Xuan frowned, not understanding what Wu Zu meant.

Wu Zu laughed and said, "It is difficult for a powerful being like Zhu Zhao to die in the true sense, and it is difficult for a powerful being to survive the terrifying and horrific Divine Ancient Calamity."

"So now, is Zhu Zhao dead or alive?"

"If Zhu Zhao only has one eye left, and this eye develops intelligence, and this intelligence only has the instinct to revive, then do you think Zhu Zhao is dead or alive?"

After hearing this, Zhang Xuan was unable to answer.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan seemed to have discovered something from Wu Zu's words.

"Senior, you said that Zhuzhao's eye only has the instinct to revive. The reason why it needs so many souls is for the purpose of reviving?"

"Exactly."

"Where have these souls been taken by the candlelight eyes?"

Wu Zu shook his head and sighed, "I don't know, I don't know. Don't you think that the eye you saw was very vague?"

"A little bit indeed."

"That's because this eye penetrates countless membranes, and the shadow is projected onto this plane."

"This means that Zhuzhao's eyes are not in this small world, not in this divine realm, and not even in the realm created by Tianlong..."

"Yes."

At this time, the old man knelt down on the ground weakly.

"My father, my mother, my wife, my brother, I am separated from your souls by countless boundaries, and I will never see you again..."

The voice is sad.

The sound of the old man crying echoed throughout the ruins.

Zhang Xuan had never heard someone cry so sadly.

Separated by countless interfaces, beyond time, it is a distance even farther than that between life and death.

It is also an obsession of the old man that he will never be able to realize in his lifetime.

"Senior, is it really impossible for us to see our loved ones?"

"No," Wu Zu said decisively, "Unless he becomes as powerful as Zhu Zhao one day, but this is absolutely impossible!"

When the old man heard what Wu Zu said, his eyes sparkled.

"Old greaser..."

"Master, there is no need to persuade me. I know my future path."

Wu Zu glanced at the old greasy guy.

"You probably don't know how powerful Zhuzhao is. Tianlong is like dust in front of him!" Wu Zu sighed in his heart.

However, he did not say this out loud.

It’s better to keep some thoughts in mind.

If a person doesn't even have an idea, that is true despair.

"Who is the senior?" Zhang Xuan suddenly asked.

Wu Zu looked at Zhang Xuan in surprise.

"How did you tell?"

"The traces of battle left in the Wuzu Temple include not only Long Xinghe's star origin power, but also the origin magical powers of two incarnations of gods. This means that three incarnations of gods took action."

"Sure enough, he is smart. In addition to Long Xinghe, there were also the War Emperor and the Demon Emperor who took action back then. The three great gods interrupted my resurrection and took away my three hearts respectively."

"The reason they attacked you was not because they were worried about a powerful god rising up in their territory, because Senior has no way of getting out of the Ancestral Witch Ruins."

At this time, everyone was also confused and felt that they could not follow the temple master's train of thought.

"Then tell me why I can't leave this land of the ancestral witches?"

"Because you are a human cultivator from before the ancient calamity, if you go out, you will be unacceptable to the current heaven. The punishment of the seven-colored divine thunder is not so easy to bear. The reason why the three gods of Dongming Treasure Domain, Cangwu Treasure Domain and Cangwu Treasure Domain attacked you is also because you can get rewards from the new avenue by eliminating the creatures of the ancient times."

Wu Zu looked at Zhang Xuan, nodded slightly and said: "Your speculation is correct."

"So, who was your identity in the ancient times?"

"Is this important? We are just rats hiding in the stinking ditch and struggling to survive." Wu Zu said bitterly.

"Senior is the Human Emperor?" Zhang Xuan finally expressed his guess.

The moment Zhang Xuan said this, Wu Zu's eyelids suddenly twitched, as if he was hit by something.

"What a strange name."

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Senior, are you really the Human Emperor? That's great. The most powerful Human Emperor of the human race in the ancient times, the South Pole Human Emperor, is now trapped in the Central Ancestral Vein and suffering. Please lead us cultivators to welcome back the South Pole Human Emperor."
