Chapter 1779: Inscription Defense Breached (Seventh Update)
Chu Mo spoke very directly, without leaving any face, but his words filled this group of former Supreme Ancient Ancestors with great joy!
They had all been ready to die. They thought the best outcome would be to die swiftly and painlessly. But all living beings have a survival instinct, and if they can live, no one truly seeks death.
Therefore, after hearing Chu Mo's request, this group of former Supreme Ancient Ancestors immediately and eagerly agreed, fearing that Chu Mo might change his mind.
Dongfang Yunluo still looked at Chu Mo and asked softly, "Really? You really want us to do this?"
"Why, are you unwilling?" Chu Mo looked at Dongfang Yunluo and asked lightly.
"Who said that! Of course, I'm willing!" Dongfang Yunluo looked at Chu Mo with indignation, "You can't go back on your word!"
"Yes, yes, someone of your status should keep your word!" another former Supreme Ancient Ancestor teased Chu Mo.
"Not keeping your word is something to be laughed at!"
"Someone like Young Master Chu will surely keep his word!"
At this moment, a group of former Supreme Ancient Ancestors all chimed in together, then looked at Chu Mo cautiously and fearfully, afraid he would change his mind.
Chu Mo couldn't help but laugh, shook his head, and then said, "I'll keep my word, won't change my mind."
Their gazes towards Chu Mo at this moment were unexpectedly filled with gratitude.
In past years, this group of Supreme Ancient Ancestors slaughtered countless beings of the Chu royal family and had already received retribution. Their heads were hung on flagpoles, on the ruins of the Chu royal family, battered by wind, rain, and frost for countless years.
This kind of ordeal was truly harder to bear than death for them. Fortunately, Chu Mo had great compassion and, many years later, gave them a chance for redemption. He asked them to pass on all their legacies to teach the students.
This group of Supreme Ancient Ancestors didn't even ask for specific details and hurriedly agreed.
When Chu Mo told them his true intentions, this group of Supreme Ancient Ancestors couldn't help but feel solemn respect.
Their feelings towards Chu Mo were very conflicted; naturally, there was hatred. After all, Chu Mo had nailed them to this pillar of shame for countless years. But there was also repentance. After losing their past glories, identities, statuses, and everything else, after a period of madness, they all began a thorough reflection.
What they endured today was indeed karmic retribution. A butcher with blood on his hands, why expect others' forgiveness?
They initially thought Chu Mo wanted them to teach the descendants of the Chu lineage and didn't realize that over the years, the whole world was no longer the Tunnel World of the past. So when they learned some truths, they were all stunned.
Dongfang Yunluo couldn't help but sigh, "The Divine Mirror World... Unexpectedly, the entire world has undergone such a huge transformation. Alas, our group, how could we not know what time it is?"
The faces of the other former Supreme Ancient Ancestors also showed complex expressions, ultimately turning into silent sighs.
The whole world has changed, and they have finally become the old people replaced by new ones in the cycle of generations. The past is now just memories in their minds.
They can even imagine that nowadays, in the entire Divine Mirror World, those who remember their deeds are probably becoming fewer and fewer. There should still be quite a few who remember them, but almost none who mention them.
"Being a teacher in the future isn't bad," Dongfang Hengtai said faintly.
On the other side, the Mane God Patriarch looked utterly despondent. It looked at Chu Mo and asked with a trembling voice, "The Tunnel World has been abolished, so what about the Gray Land creatures? Those existences in the Gray Land?"
Chu Mo glanced at it, "I'm not too sure. Most creatures from the Gray Land have already invaded the original Tunnel World. But those top-tier existences may have found other ways to leave the Gray Land."
"So, you mean, the Gray Land... actually doesn't exist anymore?" The eyes of the Mane God Patriarch showed a trace of sadness, which was quite a rare emotional expression for the cold-blooded Gray Land creatures.
Chu Mo shook his head, "The Gray Land still exists. The Tunnel World won't collapse. It has been proven now that some rumors from ancient times were untrue."
The Mane God Patriarch nodded and then said, "Can I also be a teacher here?"
"Yes." Chu Mo nodded.
A look of endless gratitude appeared on the face of the Mane God Patriarch. After being taken down from the flagpole by Chu Mo, it directly transformed into a complete body, knelt on the ground, and solemnly kowtowed to Chu Mo, "The sins of the past were heavy; today, I am willing to abide by it."
Chu Mo nodded, "As long as you're willing to truly repent, in the future, I will consider lifting all your seals and restoring your freedom."
Dongfang Yunluo asked from the side, "Young Master Chu, may I ask what your current realm is?"
Chu Mo glanced at Dongfang Yunluo and said, "Peak of the Great Ancestor Realm."
"..." The audience of former Supreme Ancient Ancestors was all speechless and then a sound of gasping for air followed.
Great Ancestor... still at the peak?
This realm, in the former Tunnel world, was nearly a legendary realm. Although almost all the Supreme ancient ancestors could almost certainly confirm that the Supreme realm was definitely not the end for cultivators. In this world, there must exist beings who surpass the Supreme—the "Great Ancestors."
But they have lived immeasurable ages, experiencing countless cycles of reincarnation. Yet they have never seen a real, living Great Ancestor.
When the name Chu Mo first reached their ears, wasn't he someone who hadn't even reached the ancestral realm…? Some of them knew of Chu Mo when he should have still been a cultivator of the Great Saint Realm. Others had heard of him by the time he was already an ancestral realm cultivator.
But the journey from the ancestral realm to the Supreme is definitely quite long, and even an extraordinary Heavenly Genius needs the accumulation of time. It requires the sediment of ages.
Only then can there be a true understanding of the Tao and law. For a cultivator, Chu Mo is a bit too young.
"We are not wronged." Dongfang Yunluo looked at the other former Supreme ancient ancestors and suddenly smiled bitterly, saying.
Then, Chu Mo casually sealed the source of power within this group's bodies. This move once again shocked these former ancient ancestors because Chu Mo's methods were countless times superior to their own past methods of sealing others!
Only hearing that Chu Mo is a cultivator in the realm of Great Ancestors was shocking yet not intuitive enough. But now, seeing it with their own eyes, the feeling is completely different.
After sealing this group, Chu Mo brought them to the royal tribe. He handed them over to Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi.
After that, Chu Mo gave Xu Shiyun some cultivation-related precautions before leaving the realm of divine enlightenment. He appeared here in the Blood Domain of the ancient gods' physical world.
The entire sky is still locked by inscriptions.
But as soon as Chu Mo emerged, the inscriptions sent him a message.
The leaders of the three major forces are now outside, and they have also brought powerful inscriptions, intending to break through here!
"The leaders of the three major forces… those are three Realm Master-level beings, and they are all old veterans with unfathomable strength. If facing just one, with the Pangu legacy, I should be able to cope. But to face three at once, I fear I will be outmatched." Chu Mo frowned, thinking to himself, then asked the inscriptions.
"Can you hold on?"
The inscriptions conveyed a less optimistic response to Chu Mo: "It may be very difficult; it's best to be prepared to escape."
"Escape?" A thoughtful look emerged on Chu Mo's face. If it were before, he might lack the confidence, but now, having cultivated the Pangu scriptures, with mastery of Pangu's movement skills, he has great confidence in his own speed.
"Yes, be prepared to escape. They come prepared, and they will not rest until they achieve their goals." The inscriptions told Chu Mo.
"If I escape, what about you?" Chu Mo asked.
The response from the inscriptions was simple and straightforward: "Our existence in this world lies right here. The young lady has already become your disciple, so we are reassured. We initially took the young lady out of the Heavenly Palace because we didn't want her to be confined all her life. We also didn't want her to be harmed. Now that she is already well, we don't have any concerns."
"Can I take you with me when I escape?" Chu Mo asked.
"No need, we are bound to be broken through. However, inscriptions never die. At most, we return to our original high-dimensional world. Perhaps, one day, we will meet again! Young Master Chu, go, you will definitely become the new Heavenly Master. When you truly become the Heavenly Master, you will already have the qualification to communicate with the high-dimensional world."
The inscriptions lastly informed Chu Mo of a very astonishing message.
Chu Mo nodded silently, somewhat regretfully, and left directly through a magical gateway that the inscriptions opened.
His departure was not sensed by the leaders of the three major forces. And this, too, was the last thing the inscriptions could do for Chu Mo.
On the other side, in the cosmic void of the Blood Domain.
The Eternal Hall Master coldly gazed ahead and then said: "Begin!"
Bu Xuye from the Bu Clan Dynasty and the Heavenly Palace Master nodded together. Then the three joined forces, directly summoning an inscription.
This inscription directly formed a sword, ten thousand zhang long, flashing with icy light, and then it fiercely slashed towards a direction in the void. Over there, a burst of brilliance erupted suddenly, like a dazzling firework, splendid to the extreme!
But within this splendor, there was endless killing intent.
That void was directly annihilated!
Then, it revealed a large quantity of orange inscriptions, winding and twisting in the void, dragon-like and snake-like. All exploded with immensely powerful life force.
But the leaders of the three major forces all showed joyous expressions. Because the inscriptions had been slashed to reveal their form, they could enter at any time.
The Heavenly Palace Master said: "It's done! Remember, do not harm my daughter!"
The Eternal Hall Master replied faintly: "Rest assured."
Bu Xuye's gaze cooled as he looked toward the world inside the inscriptions, suddenly frowning slightly: "Something's not right?"
