Whoa!The river of will roared with rushing water, already thundering like a flood.
Dao Qiongcang’s thoughts had reached this point, like a dam breaking, cascading a thousand miles.
“Therefore, Xu Xiaoshou, who was at the bottom of the Windcloud Competition at Tiansang Spirit Palace for years, had actually died during his last death seclusion.”
“Replaced by an ‘outsider’ who was lost in reincarnation, yet used the power of reincarnation to attach to this body.”
“Thus, Xu Xiaoshou is not the descendant of the Name Ancestor. If he were, he would inevitably walk the path of the Name Ancestor, whether willingly or unwillingly. But he seems clearly averse to purely following the path of names.”
“So, Xu Xiaoshou’s previous incarnate, that fellow always at the bottom of the Windcloud Competition, should indeed be the descendant of the Name Ancestor or even the embodiment, the true form of the Name Ancestor!”
Reaching this step, everything afterwards fell into place naturally.
Including why Xu Xiaoshou progressed so rapidly, including why Bazhun’an, who cultivated names, held Xu Xiaoshou in high regard.
Certainly, it also explained why Demon Medicine was ambivalent towards Xu Xiaoshou, seeming like a friend yet not, an enemy yet not, until finally either despairingly seeking an alliance or being completely outwitted by Xu Xiaoshou.
“A person practicing self-consciousness, with Shi Ming Nuo as a driving force behind them, trying to nurture someone with a high enough ceiling to help those folks solve ‘difficulties’…” Dao Qiongcang mumbled silently.
He didn’t know if this was right or wrong.
But he guessed it was about 80% to 90% correct.
Even if the reasoning was wrong, which was unlikely, it didn’t matter; this scenario did not prevent Dao Qiongcang from intending to truly ally with Xu Xiaoshou to fight against the Demon and Medicine.
Against the Medicine Ancestor, Dao Qiongcang had confidence.
Against the Demon Ancestor, he had yet to see any real opportunity.
But judging from the Holy Palace Array that Xu Xiaoshou replicated, plus the fact that after Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe was blasted open, Dao Qiongcang sneaked back there and couldn’t find the Source Crystal…
“Counting the half of the Holy Palace remaining, it’s likely that the Holy Ancestor is about to revive, probably using Zi Chong of the Spiritual God lineage to resurrect.”
“The Divine failed to kill even one of the Demon Ancestor’s Body, Spirit, and Will pathways; although the power of the three realms was exhausted, it should still seriously injure him.”
“However, when all is accounted for, the Demon Ancestor not dying, the Holy Demon returning to zero, has become inevitable…”
Dao Qiongcang calculated with his fingers, standing at the Cross Corner Street, feeling he had grasped about 70% to 80% of the five regions’ situation and the thoughts of the Ancestral God.
This was useless to him.
Strategy on paper, leads to the most tragic deaths.
What was Dao Qiongcang afraid of?
He feared most the collaboration of the Demon and Medicine, forming a new Heavenly Realm to govern.
If so, when one party faced crisis, the other would inevitably intervene, and if this worst-case scenario developed…
“If Xu Xiaoshou can’t help me fend off the Demon Ancestor, then my back is exposed, and in the end, everyone dies.”
“But before that, I must crush the Medicine Ancestor, render him crippled, at least to a point where the Demon Ancestor must intervene to assist the Medicine.”
“So, how can I make the Demon and Medicine believe there is yet a ray of hope, or even that they can reverse the fight and seize my Memory Path, allowing me to directly swallow up the two rivers of the Medicine Ancestor and turn the tide?”
Gurgle!
The pure power of Infinite Silence surged into his body.
The Great Disruption Technique was nearing completion, not yet formed, and at the threshold of life and death, Dao Qiongcang calculated not the present, but the final.
If you die now, then you’re dead.
If you survive now, but can’t ultimately survive, then you’re as good as dead now.
“Crash!”
The Memory River also emerged.
A deep thought, Dao Qiongcang divided a sliver of self and sank into the Memory River, glimpsing Bai Zhou, the second generation, and other secrets confined here.
“Second Generation.” He stepped forward, looking at the fellow who looked remarkably like himself.
“Third Generation.” That person also looked over, seemingly aware of something, “You wouldn’t be bringing bad news now, would you?”
“I’ve obtained the ‘key’.”
“Oh?” Third Generation raised an eyebrow, hinting, “You should know, if you fail, then I bet on the wrong one. I chose you over Dao Peipei. For that reason, you became the Third Generation, and he can only be the Fourth. If you fail, he will replace you and become the Third Generation, because his wisdom is not inferior to yours.”
Dao Qiongcang spread his hands, grinning widely: “But I’ve never activated you, isn’t that proof you bet correctly? I’m stronger than any past ‘Third Generation’, including the one who left a brand in the Demon Ancestor Stone Palace… As for Dao Peipei, the Fourth, will always be just the Fourth, he can’t rise to the position.”
“You’re confident.”
“Indeed.” Dao Qiongcang nodded earnestly, “I plan to awaken the power of the ‘first generation’.”
“Are you ready?”
“If the matters of Shi, Name, and Nuo you told me weren’t misleading, I believe I’ve deduced enough ‘truth’, acquired this ‘key’, can bear the final and cruel ‘memory’, and am qualified to replace the ‘first generation’ and live anew.” Dao Qiongcang said, “You don’t need to stay in this eternal darkness forever.”
The second generation was silent for a long time before speaking: “Every Third Generation has said something similar to me at a time like this…”
Pausing, he continued: “And each time, it was I who personally executed them.”
Looking at Dao Qiongcang, there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes, though filled with farewell.
Dao Qiongcang smiled, brimming with confidence: “But I’m the strongest of all the Third Generations you’ve seen, and also the most hopeful to succeed, aren’t I?”
The second generation remained silent.
This point, was indisputable.
This generation’s Third Generation seemingly perfectly inherited the advantages of all the previous generations. Under the limitation of combat power, his wisdom, scheming, reaction, and foresight were honed to the utmost.
He could easily discern and circumvent the Ancestral God’s arrangements, know how to utilize others’ strength when in distress, perfectly meet the inheritance requirements of the complete Memory Path, and qualify for allegiance.
“Then go ahead and try.”
The second generation turned, heading into the darkness below.
Dao Qiongcang nodded with a light laugh, stepping towards the source of memory.
The two stopped in their tracks after ten steps, turning to look at each other, yet now it was the second generation below, with the third on top.
“Bang!”
The third generation, like a sword-bearing guard, knelt on one knee, lowering its head.
“Buzz!”
Dao Qiongcang’s face was filled with zeal, raising both hands.
Immediately, the entire dark and sunless world of memory was thoroughly illuminated.
Behind him, the Sea of Memory was reflected, faces floating upon it, all avatars sown across the five regions of this world or other planes of the greater world.
With the second generation in front, kneeling on one knee.
The third generation in the center, arms raised high.
Fourth and fifth generations behind, supporting him.
Dao Qiongcang suddenly lifted his head, gazing at the giant white cocoon hanging above the Sea of Memory.
“Thump thump!”
“Thump thump!”
“Thump thump…”
But when it emerged, a heavy heartbeat like a hammer beating on a drum resonated throughout this world.
Every beat thundered like a lightning strike, resounding directly to those confined within the Memory River.
Bai Zhou’s consciousness was muddled, lifting his head in a daze, witnessing a chilling scene beneath a world of ten thousand fathoms of white light.
Tens of thousands of Dao Qiongcangs at the back, one Dao Qiongcang at the front.
The Dao Qiongcang surrounded in the center, leading the entire world, raised his arms in fervor, reciting words of the path:
“Master the Way of the Heavens, assimilate all laws.”
“Pardon sins and alter fate, Dao Ancestor reborn!”
Rumble—
Bai Zhou felt as if struck by lightning.
Yet he saw the giant cocoon suspended in midair burst forth with tens of thousands of white rays, tearing open like being ripped by swords, revealing inside a…
Giant Dao Qiongcang!
Rumble—
The world of memory quaked violently.
The giant Dao Qiongcang within the cocoon, bits peeling away, transformed into a haze of light, descending just enough to cover the Dao Qiongcang in the center below.
The third-generation Dao Qiongcang raised his arms, slightly lifted his chin, closed his eyes tightly, his face in ecstasy, ascending inch by inch, bathed in the shimmering path energy.
The world of memory rumbled and ruptured, all the fourth and fifth-generation Dao Qiongcangs behind, knelt with a crash, raising their hands high, resembling a Great God Descending Technique.
In unison with the foremost second-generation Dao Qiongcang, with voices filled with reverence, loudly acclaiming, echoing thunderously:
“Hail the rebirth of the Dao Ancestor!!!”
