Chapter 936: The Eight Sages of the First Ancestor
Gu Heng sheathed his sword and calmly walked out of the mist.
suddenly see the light.
Leaving the fog lessened the oppressive feeling considerably, but Gu Heng was more concerned with the scenery before him: endless city ruins, a dark and boundless sky, and fragmented time and space...
He arrived at another ruined site, which didn't seem particularly special, but it wasn't just a ruin either. He could also see many corpses standing in the city ruins.
Those exceptionally large corpses.
Looking around, there was a giant insect that was half-skeletalized, a giant draped in a gray robe but whose interior was also decaying, and a winged woman with eight wings on her back but almost petrified...
These corpses were truly enormous; although they didn't tower into the clouds after death, they were definitely not to be ignored!
"What is this place?"
Gu Heng was completely confused.
As Xi had said, he had walked to the end of the road, and at the end was this ancient ruin, but the place still felt completely unfamiliar to him.
It seems we have no choice but to keep going. The city ruins are quite large, but even from this high vantage point, Gu Heng can still see a spacious square in the ruins, where some stone statues stand.
We should go and take a look.
the other side.
The secondary tomb owners stared in astonishment at the remains of the gods, their breathing quickening!
They were knowledgeable and knew the origins of these gods!
"Isn't that the supreme god of the 'Zerg Civilization,' the First Emperor of Ten Thousand Insects?!" Jian Qu's expression turned solemn.
"I've heard that the Zerg civilization once had two gods, the First Emperor of All Insects, but there has never been any evidence of the existence of a second supreme god..."
"I never imagined I'd die here!"
As a former conceptual realm giant of the Immortal Dao Civilization, Jian Qu's swordsmanship was already unparalleled. The Immortal Dao Civilization's greatest adversary has always been the Zerg Civilization among the alien races.
The Zerg civilization is among the alien races with the worst relationship with human civilization; they are absolutely determined to fight to the death whenever they meet!
Before he was exiled to the Graveyard of the Epoch, Sword Melody had slain many great insectoid demons, and even forced the insectoid civilization to use the power of the supreme god to strangle him!
Therefore, Jianqu has an extremely good understanding of the Zerg civilization.
Unexpectedly, the Zerg civilization, which was a major enemy of the Immortal Cultivation civilization, actually had a second god in charge. It's just that he died here.
"And that gray-robed god-corpse..."
The secondary tomb owner, who came from the wizarding civilization, seemed to have remembered something as well.
"I understand now, that is the supreme god of the 'Spirit Control Civilization,' the 'Controller of All People'!"
Upon hearing this, the other secondary tomb owners were also quite surprised.
"Spirit-Controlling Civilization?"
"Are you talking about the Spirit Control Civilization, which only passed down the methods of control, but whose entire civilization mysteriously perished?"
While the Spirit Control Civilization was not entirely unfamiliar to them, it was certainly not a particularly familiar name either, but the "method of control" had always held a very high status!
The Spirit Control Civilization developed the art of control to its extreme. Later generations could only control beasts at most, while the legendary Spirit Control Civilization was even able to control cultivators at the Concept Realm, manipulating all living beings and things as puppets! Of course.
This civilization is now only an ancient thing existing in fragments of memory.
If the Spirit Control civilization had continued to this day, it would surely have occupied a place at the pinnacle of human civilization!
but……
The supreme god of the Spirit Control Civilization died here.
"And that 'Holy Celestial Maiden,' I've also heard of her. She was the supreme deity of the 'Celestial Spirit Clan Civilization,' but this alien civilization also perished inexplicably in ancient times..."
Old Wu stroked his beard and slowly began to speak.
No.
These gods, and the civilizations behind them, did not perish mysteriously.
Instead, they joined forces against the enemy in a great battle unknown to anyone, only to be completely wiped out, with almost no survivors.
There are more than just these three dead epochal gods; there are at least ten more god corpses here!
Then... what about the adversaries who destroyed them?
Just think about it.
A chill ran through the hearts of the tomb keepers.
Did a civilization kill more than a dozen epoch-making gods?
This courage, these methods, this confidence—it's an unimaginable strength for a civilization!
However, it wasn't entirely unfamiliar to them, because not long ago, there was such a "great enemy of the era" in the myriad realms, who dared to oppose several gods...
It feels like a familiar scene, like the return of swallows.
"There are some stone statues over there, let's go take a look."
Wu Weng's gaze fell upon a clear "gap" in the city ruins, and he led the group toward it. A short while later...
We arrived at that empty square.
Inside the square stand eight stone statues, towering to the sky and reaching the earth. The first thing everyone sees when they look at those statues is how exquisite they are, as if they have life. The second time they look at them, an uncontrollable sense of worship arises in their hearts!
The seven deputy tomb owners forcibly suppressed the strange feelings that welled up in their hearts and did not kneel down.
But the others did not have such strong self-control, and they all bowed down to the stone statue, performing a great ritual of worship, their faces full of reverence.
After they had performed the grand ceremony, they suddenly realized they had lost control of their bodies and ended up kneeling and kowtowing before the stone statue.
Who are these people?
These eight stone statues appear both strange and powerful, yet no one knows their origins.
The secondary tomb owners all looked at Wu Weng, the oldest and most senior among them. Wu Weng was also staring at the eight stone statues, trying to figure out what was going on.
But in the end.
He still figured something out.
"Wait... could it really be them?"
Wu Weng's voice trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he almost knelt down.
The other secondary tomb owners looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Which them?"
Jian Qu frowned slightly.
"These are the 'Eight Sages of the First Ancestor'!"
Wu Weng took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions: "The Eight Sages of the First Ancestor, the masters of civilization, the 'pioneers' who created the glory of all living beings!"
"These eight stone statues could only be them!"
The Eight Sages of the First Ancestor? The Civilization of the Ancestral Sages?
Immediately, countless gasps of astonishment filled the arena.
"That so-called first civilization in all the heavens and myriad realms, where all living beings and things reside within one civilization, the most glorious civilization throughout history—that 'Ancestral Sage Civilization'?!"
Even the other secondary tomb owners couldn't believe it.
"I thought it was just a legend. All living beings are sinful and evil; how could they possibly coexist within a single civilization?"
Jian Qu frowned.
The civilization of our ancestors—this is a wonderful era that exists only in imagination, not even recorded in ancient books.
Legend has it that there was once only one civilization in all the myriad worlds, and it was the first civilization—the Ancestral Sage Civilization.
Within civilization, humans and other races live together peacefully, their scale so vast that it encompasses the entire universe!
But anyone who listens to this "ancestral civilization" will find it fake. It's just too fake.
Because no one believes that humans can coexist with other races within the same civilization.
Even among humans, there are conflicts between each other, and the same is true between different races; deep-seated hatreds will never be forgotten.
but.
The Eight Sages of the First Ancestor may indeed have actually existed.
Because who exactly "opened up" the World Realm, Creation Realm, Nirvana Realm, and Concept Realm, which are regarded as the golden rules and iron laws in all the heavens and myriad worlds?
There always has to be a pioneer; these realms didn't exist from the very beginning of time.
Some believe that it was the efforts of these "pioneers," the Eight Sages, who were the first ancestors.
"The legend... could it be true?"
Wu Zhao and Yue Ru were both stunned, as were the others. The amount of information was overwhelming for them; they wanted to absorb it all, but couldn't process it at all.
"Master Wu?"
"Miss Yue Ru?"
Sudden.
The sound around them startled them.
Turning their heads, they discovered that Gu Heng had somehow appeared beside them.
"Brother Gu!"
Wu Zhao and Yue Ru were overjoyed.
"It's so good to see you're all alright. After the demon ship exploded, I thought we were all going to be doomed. You all look to be in good health!"
Gu Heng had just arrived at the square.
And that's how we found the team!
However, everyone was so engrossed in some kind of shock or focus that no one noticed him, the little shrimp who had strayed from the group. So he simply sneaked over to Wu Zhao to let him know he was safe.
"Xi Tong, are you alright?"
Gu Xitong moved closer to Gu Heng, nuzzling her face against his sleeve. Her clear blue and white eyes looked at Gu Heng with a hint of concern hidden in them.
Yes, she'll definitely be fine. The system is incredibly powerful; it's unlikely she'll run into any trouble.
She seemed more worried about whether something had happened to her.
After patting Gu Xitong's head, Gu Heng turned to look at the eight stone statues around him. They were exquisitely crafted and lifelike, and the craftsmanship was absolutely top-notch.
"Ok?"
and many more.
Gu Heng saw something familiar.
Among them are two stone statues, one male and one female. The male is handsome and the female is graceful. They look about 70-80% alike.
And they all have the same pair of thin wings on their backs?
Eh!
These are Xi and Xi, the brother and sister!

P.S.: Happy Labor Day everyone!
I started barbecuing in the afternoon and didn't stop until 10 pm. It was so hot!
I hope everyone can find a way to relax that suits their taste!
