NOVEL WEB Chapter 316: Dialogue with the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit (Two in One)
"Two Ancestors?!"
Upon hearing the second piece of information given by Feng Yin, Qin Chuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression changed drastically.
Ancestor referred to the powerful being who had ascended to the Heavenly Dome Rank Third Rank, breaking through to the third realm of the Mythical Rank.
Each clan had only one position able to ascend to the Third Rank, and unlike the positions of the Second Rank, the Third Rank positions did not increase by absorbing the World Origin of other clans.
That is to say, theoretically, each clan only had one Ancestor.
Under such circumstances, how did the Crystal Clan possess two positions, with two strong beings entering the Third Rank?
Wait...
Qin Chuan suddenly remembered, Feng Yin used the words "allegedly."
"Why 'allegedly'? The information obtained from the second Talent of Insight should be accurate, right?" He couldn't help but turn his head and ask.
"It's because the Crystal Clan has two Ancestors, which is speculation I made based on the information, not the information itself," Feng Yin pushed up his glasses.
"The second piece of information is that at most, there are seven Ancestors existing simultaneously at the Heavenly Dome Rank Third Rank. A thousand years ago, an unknown Ancestor assisted the Ancestor of the Crystal Clan in severely injuring the Half-demon Ancestor."
"That unknown Ancestor has not appeared since then."
"From this perspective, the likelihood that the party belongs to the Crystal Clan is the greatest."
"At most seven Ancestors?" Qin Chuan's eyes flickered with contemplative light.
He had exchanged thoughts with Qingyang Immortal Monarch of the Immortal Clan before, which included discussions about the previous Clan Wars.
According to Qingyang Immortal Monarch's words, there had never been a spectacle of seven clans waging a Clan War simultaneously before, and there had been only one instance where six clans engaged simultaneously.
Thus, the simultaneous existence of seven Ancestors must be an event of this millennium.
But the problem lies in the fact that the Human Race hasn't yet ascended to the Third Rank, so theoretically, there should only be six Ancestors at the Heavenly Dome Rank Third Rank.
Where did that extra one come from?
A thousand years ago, this truly was a sensitive time point.
That time was precisely when the Lan Clan ascended to the Heavenly Dome Rank.
According to known information, the Lan Clan hadn't even ascended to the Second Rank.
So could there be a possibility...
That the extinction of the Lan Clan wasn't so simple, and some clan used the Third Rank position originally belonging to the Lan Clan, allowing a second member to ascend the Heavenly Dome Rank Third Rank through some method?
Assisting the Ancestor of the Crystal Clan in severely injuring the Half-demon Ancestor?
"Does the information describe the specifics of that battle?" Qin Chuan's mind stirred, and he suddenly spoke up.
"No," Feng Yin shook his head slightly.
Thus, Qin Chuan sighed softly.
"You're trying to discern if the Ancestor of the Crystal Clan was at the end of his tether then?" Feng Yin saw through Qin Chuan's thoughts.
"Yes," Qin Chuan nodded.
If the Ancestor of the Crystal Clan couldn't even defend himself in front of the Half-demon Ancestor and was close to death, then it's possible that the hidden second Ancestor of the Crystal Clan intervened.
But if the Ancestor of the Crystal Clan himself was not weak and had no trouble defending himself against the Half-demon Ancestor, then the Crystal Clan would definitely not reveal such a vital trump card before a Clan War.
In other words, that mysterious Ancestor must not be from the Crystal Clan, but rather a method other clans used to divert attention.
So, the specifics of that battle back then are very important.
But those likely to know the true details of that battle are probably only the other Ancestors at the Third Rank.
Such secretive information, they would probably only reveal to the most trusted of their clan at the Second Rank, meaning that there's practically no chance of gleaning related information at the First Rank.
"I've got an idea that might be worth trying." Feng Yin looked at Qin Chuan, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Would you like to try initiating a dialogue with the Purple Moon Priest and the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit?"
"Me?" Qin Chuan's expression was one of astonishment.
"Yes," nodded Feng Yin. "Sometimes, being forthright in the midst of scheming can have unexpectedly effective results."
"Afte—ascending the Heavenly Dome Rank, the Moon Spirit still maintains significant goodwill towards us, whatever the reason, it must be under the directive of the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit."
"Having a direct conversation with him would also be a direct probe."
"This could indeed be..." Qin Chuan nodded thoughtfully.
And indeed, Feng Yin's words had opened up a new way of thinking for him.
He now also counted as a leader of the Human Race, and although he hadn't yet ascended to the Third Rank, his status was equivalent to that of the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit, making a dialogue between them perfectly justifiable.
The Ancestor of the Moon Spirit, sitting at the Third Rank as dictated by the rules of the Heavenly Dome Rank, couldn't directly exert his power down to the First Rank, not even in an avatar form or similar, meaning he couldn't attack Qin Chuan with his power.
And since the other party intended to maintain temporary goodwill, there was no need to do so.
In a safe situation, to contact an opponent of the Ancestor's level would indeed be a straightforward approach.
The last time he parted from the Purple Moon Priest, Mahiya, she had given him an item that could facilitate their communication. Talking with the Purple Moon Priest about this might actually be feasible.
"Then you arrange for the first group to enter the Heavenly Dome Rank, and I'll go back and discuss with Lin Yue about what to say to that Ancestor of the Moon Spirit," he dropped a remark and vanished from the spot.

Heavenly Dome Rank First Rank, Red Rock Territory.
Qin Chuan awoke again, glancing at Lin Yue by his side, "I'm going to contact Mahiya now."
"Okay," Lin Yue nodded and stood quietly beside Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan raised his hand and took out a purple crescent-shaped pendant from the Item Equipment Bar, gently imbuing it with power, and the pendant soon lit up.
