Just after Shi Mang finished talking, a chaos projection appeared in the void near him.

Countless figures from billions of races since the birth of time were flashing by in that projection, leaving fuzzy images that quickly disappeared.

The strong ones among them would stop, giving yearning gazes at the power they sensed from beyond the projection.

Sorcerer Ancestor Shi Mang ignored those lingering figures. He waved a hand and released a stream of power that pushed them away, making them disappear in the crowd of specters.

“Found it,” Shi Mang said all of a sudden.

One of the gray tentacles on his body passed through the projection and picked up a petite figure from amongst the crowd.

“That’s it.” The Mother of Chaos nodded with a smile. She had already given him a reference of the Little Skeleton’s aura, so that it could be found.

“What a weak creature…” Shi Mang shook his head, quickly sensing that the guy was extremely weak. He could kill that creature a billion times with a single breath.

A stream of power surged in, making the petite projection gradually turn from an illusion to a tangible being. It was now emitting the energy of life.

It was an undead creature, yet it still emitted the power of life.

“How much longer do we have to wait for that guy?” Yin Que asked on the other side.

The girl said, “About seven thousand years.”

“All right. We’ll just take a break, then” said the fellow.

The Golden Crow ancestor’s eyes glittered. “I haven’t seen this kid in a long time. I wonder how he’s doing.”

“He should be very happy to see you.” The Mother of Chaos smiled with an ancient tranquility, gentle and mysterious.

She slightly waved a hand and the Little Skeleton flew over to her.

Dumbfounded, the small pet raised its head and looked at this indescribably gorgeous woman, able to sense her terrifying power. There seemed to be an infinite amount of strength in her slender body.

However, the small fellow wasn’t scared at all. Rather, it had a strong sense of familiarity.

The Mother of Chaos silently disappeared into the void with the Little Skeleton.

The Sorcerer Ancestors exchanged glances and dispersed.

A brilliant and golden figure flew out from the scorching planet floating in the void. Its feathers seemed to be made of fire crystals. “Sorcerer Ancestor, is that Sorcerer Ancestor Ti Tuo’s clan?”

“That’s right. Your old friend is right there.” The Golden Crow ancestor chuckled.

“Old friend… I heard that he’s the one who proposed the alliance. He’s also the representative of the legendary Mother of Chaos. No wonder he was able to advance so fast that I couldn’t even catch up to him…” said the brilliant Golden Crow. Her voice was loud and clear, like a spirit of fire.

“No need to hold yourself back. If you want to see him, just go and meet him,” said the Golden Crow ancestor. After that, it gradually disappeared into the enormous planet. That was the only celestial body floating quietly in the void, at a certain distance from the Ti Tuo continent.

Strangely enough, none of the species living on the continent had noticed the scorching planet in the sky. They were fairly close, but they seemed to be in different spaces.

…

In the store—

Su Ping returned from his expeditions to the cultivation sites. The Dark Dragon Hound and all his other pets had become Ancestral Gods, and he had managed to condense a thousand Undying Universes. Ancestral Gods were vulnerable against him; he could crush them with ease.

His combat ability had already surpassed the Undying State, but he wasn’t a Sorcerer Ancestor yet.

Thanks to the boost of his thousand universes, Su Ping’s senses could easily cover the entire Ti Tuo continent. He could sense the immeasurable power of the host Sorcerer Ancestor, which was as vast as an ocean. The more clearly Su Ping sensed that power, the more deeply he realized how wide the gap between them was. Even if he condensed three thousand universes and reached the ultimate perfection, he could hardly compare to the twelve ancestors.

The gap between Sorcerer Ancestors and experts in the Undying State is truly too wide…

The chaos mythical creatures spawned by nature are truly peerless when compared to the other creatures that were born afterwards…?Su Ping sighed regretfully, but he wasn’t too frustrated. At least he was the strongest person in history, only second to the Sorcerer Ancestors!

“Huh?”

Su Ping’s eyes suddenly glittered. Shocked, he looked in a certain direction inside the store.

Two figures were standing there. One was the system, and the other was… the Little Skeleton!

Su Ping’s pupils twitched. He dashed forward to the Little Skeleton, his body shaking. He squatted and stared at the little fellow. This feeling was so familiar that his blood felt like it was flowing backwards.

“I asked Sorcerer Ancestor Shi Mang to resurrect it,” said the Mother of Chaos with a smile.

Su Ping looked at the system gratefully. “Thanks!”

“You should have already seen through life and death, given your current level; no need to thank me,” said the girl.

Su Ping shook his head and said, “No matter what level I am, or whether I’ve seen the truth about life and death. Even if I can create everything with a thought, I wouldn’t destroy everything with a thought!”

The girl glanced at him and sighed, “I picked a human as the third host; I wonder if it was the right decision. Humans were born after the Heavenly Dao age, and you’re too badly influenced by it. Feelings and emotions are the Heavenly Dao’s sustenance. If your feelings are too strong… the consequences will be dire if you’re defeated and absorbed by our ultimate enemy.”
