Chapter 1892: Return of the Ancestral God Temple
Hundreds of meters high waves surged in all directions, and between the漫天碎雨, the气息 of ancient times descended upon the world!
The originally sky-covering 【Black Goat】 was like a brick slapped out of the sky, directly squeezed into the vast deep sea. The three Cthulhu Faction deities barely stopped outside the Ancestral God Temple and were not suppressed together.
Even so, sensing the ancient aura emanating from this temple, they all retreated in unison, as if there was some instinctive fear deeply ingrained.
Lin Qiye stood firmly before the main gate of the Ancestral God Temple, his cloak flying in the storm, his figure unmoving.
Behind him, Jinian stared at the凭空出现的 ancient temple, mouth agape in shock...
"Where did you summon such a huge brick from?!"
Lin Qiye: ...
As the 【Black Goat】 was pressed into the seabed, eerie crimson spread across the sea surface, and a frantic aura rapidly spread!
Within seconds, this crimson had spread across dozens of kilometers of sea, like a blood moon reflected on the sea. Countless whispers emanated from within, and the enormous fleshy body rose once more from the distance...
The sudden attack filled the 【Black Goat】 with fury. The terrifying corruption instantly transformed the surroundings into a manic world. Among the splashing waves, countless crimson worms were夹杂其中.
"Corruption, is it..." Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly.
The 【Black Goat】's power was not limited to its terrifying reproduction ability. The corruption it emitted could drive a living divine kingdom into madness, or resurrect an already destroyed divine kingdom... Takamagahara and the underworld were the best examples.
But Lin Qiye was very clear that this time, it would not succeed.
As a faint light emanated from the center of the Ancestral God Temple, the blood moon reflection on the sea surface instantly dissolved and scattered at a startling speed. The crimson worms churning in the waves all died, turning into streaks of light that vanished in the air.
A powerful purification force swept across the ocean, completely clearing all the corruption left by the 【Black Goat】. The enormous fleshy body seemed to sense something and let out a sharp shriek.
Earth's Source!
Within the Ancestral God Temple existed Earth's Source—the "anchor" of this world. It could resist Cthulhu Faction corruption... The "anchors" on Lin Qiye and the others came from here.
Now that the Ancestral God Temple's本体 had returned, the 【Black Goat】 attempting to spread corruption nearby would be like凝冰 beside a torch—doomed to fail.
Boom—Boom—Boom—!!
Dull impacts echoed from within the Ancestral God Temple. Eleven ancient Ancestral God auras descended upon the world, each no weaker than the 【Black Goat】. The eleven auras overlapped like a rushing tsunami, scattering the enormous fleshy clouds of乌云 madly!
Sharp shrieks emitted from within the 【Black Goat】. Countless tentacles thrashed chaotically. It began retreating continuously into the void.
Of course it recognized this ancient temple. Countless eons ago, when they first invaded this world, they had been repelled by the twelve Ancestral Gods. It was that very battle that severely wounded the Three Pillars. Even now, the Ancestral Gods' aura remained branded in their memories.
Now, with this familiar aura returning, a sense of mortal crisis surged in the hearts of the 【Black Goat】 and the other three Cthulhu Faction deities. Without hesitation, they turned and fled into the distance!
No kidding—back then, even the combined might of all three Pillars had been grievously wounded by the Ancestral Gods. The 【Key to the Gate】 was forever trapped in the past because of it. Now with only one Pillar among them, how could they possibly oppose eleven Ancestral Gods?
Boom—Boom—Boom!!!
The Ancestral Gods' auras grew even more powerful. The dull impacts echoed beneath the heavens, as if an invisible giant hand was closely pursuing the 【Black Goat】.
The dense血色瞳孔 on the 【Black Goat】's surface trembled violently. Its speed pushed to the extreme, and within a blink, it vanished over the horizon.
Only after the 【Black Goat】 had completely departed did those dull impacts gradually cease. The churning sea returned to calm.
"So that's it... this is the legendary Ancestral God Temple?" Jinian sensed that ancient and powerful aura, as if recalling something. "I've only read about their existence in ancient texts. I never imagined you actually brought them back...
Pity the 【Black Goat】 escaped too quickly. If we'd caught it, we could've eliminated a Pillar right now!"
"You're overthinking." Lin Qiye didn't hesitate. "Quick, before it realizes the truth, we must return to Great Xia!"
"Huh? With the Ancestral God Temple here, what do we have to fear?"
"The Ancestral God Temple's return is one thing; the Ancestral Gods' return is another entirely... Even though I scattered life throughout the ruins, the numbers are far less than before the Mist descended. And these creatures' faith has just begun—how could all the Ancestral Gods be awakened immediately?"
Lin Qiye带着 Jinian, hurtling toward Great Xia at incredible speed!
"You... you're saying the returned Ancestral God Temple is just an empty shell?" Jinian's eyes widened. "You were bluffing the 【Black Goat】!?"
"Not exactly an empty shell, but the Ancestral Gods inside haven't recovered yet. Their combat power might not even match a Chief God... Emitting some aura to scare the 【Black Goat】 was already the limit." Lin Qiye glanced back.
"That's why I said it was fortunate only the 【Black Goat】 came. If 【Chaos】 or 【Key to the Gate】 were here, they would've seen through the trick instantly.
The 【Black Goat】 was caught off guard by the Ancestral God Temple falling on it, then terrified by the Ancestral God aura. It'll probably realize the truth soon. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
Whir—!
The Ancestral God Temple floating above the sea trembled slightly, following behind Lin Qiye as it also approached Great Xia.
"The good news is that the Mist has been completely dispelled, and the creatures of the world have begun offering faith to the Ancestral Gods. Their recovery is only a matter of time." Lin Qiye sensed the Ancestral Gods controlling the temple, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"In any case, this is only a beginning..."
"If all the Ancestral Gods recover, the Three Pillars will truly be no match for us." Jinian's eyes sparkled brilliantly. "Lin Qiye, what a brilliant move... you brought us an incredible ally!"
Lin Qiye shook his head.
"If only it were that simple... Do you think the Cthulhu Faction will politely wait for the Ancestral Gods to fully recover?"
"You're saying... they'll launch a decisive battle before the Ancestral Gods recover?"
"The Ancestral Gods' return is indeed good news for humanity, but it's also a catalyst that accelerates the final battle. That's why I only initiated the Second Covenant today, bringing them back..." Lin Qiye spoke slowly.
"Only when Great Xia is fully prepared for war will the Ancestral Gods' return become our reinforcement. If I had initiated the Second Covenant too early, it would only have accelerated humanity's destruction."
