Chapter 1484 – Shadow on the Tree

　　Dark Ancestral Stone Formation.

　　”A human shadow?” Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father frowned, gazing carefully under the tree for a long time, “Where is there a human shadow?”

　　”Can’t you see it?”

　　Lin Qiye froze in place.

　　In his field of vision, there was indeed a person standing under the bare branches of the tree, and although the distance was too far away for Lin Qiye to see his appearance, he knew that it was a man who was leaning on the trunk of the tree, looking up at the stars in the sky.

　　Lin Qiye described what he saw to Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father, who frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking anyway:

　　”Let’s go, let’s get closer.”

　　The two of them crossed the grassland under the night and approached the bare tree trunks step by step, in Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father’s eyes it was still empty, but in Lin Qiye’s eyes, the silhouette gradually became clearer.

　　It was a man covered in black, no face, no clothes, not even thickness, as if it was a shadow projected on the tree trunk.

　　But after looking carefully under the tree, there was no figure, so where did this shadow come from?

　　This shadow also seemed to have sensed the arrival of Lin Qiye and the others and turned his head slightly, his pitch black face gazing at the duo, due to the lack of five senses, Lin Qiye couldn’t see his expression, it was only vaguely as if his figure shook a little.

　　”Ling Bao of the Latter Day Daxia seeks an audience, please show yourself Dark Ancestor.”

　　Ling Bao Tianzun stood under the tree, still unable to see the shadow, and just respectfully raised his hands in a bow and said.

　　As the words fell, the shadow remained motionless, and from where his face was facing, it looked as if he was watching Lin Qiye.

　　”No movement ……” Ling Bao Tianzun looked around in surprise.

　　With Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father’s current strength and realm, there was already almost nothing in this world that could confuse him, but the bizarre situation at hand was really beyond his understanding.

　　A shadow that only Lin Qiye could see, but he couldn’t?

　　Just as Ling Bao Tianzun was puzzled, Lin Qiye’s eyes also gazed at the shadow on the tree trunk as if he was staring at it ……

　　For some reason, as he approached the bare tree, an inexplicable familiarity suddenly rose in his heart, and he carefully sensed the source of this feeling, eventually locking onto the black night origin within his body.

　　”Origin ……?”

　　As if Lin Qiye thought of something, he subconsciously raised his finger and touched it towards that shadow on the tree trunk.

　　At the same time, that shadow was also stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, it still stretched out its finger and similarly pointed towards Lin Qiye.

　　When Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father saw Lin Qiye’s action, he subconsciously wanted to stop it, but his hand reached halfway to the air and still stopped……. His eyes were fixed on Lin Qiye, who didn’t have the slightest trace of being compelled, only a marvelous divinity in his eyes.

　　As Lin Qiye’s fingertips touched the shadow on the tree trunk, Lin Qiye’s body shook slightly and unnoticeably!

　　”Seven Nights!”

　　The Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father struck out like lightning, grabbing Lin Qiye’s arm and carrying his entire body back tens of meters.

　　Lin Qiye’s figure collapsed limply in his arms, his eyes already closed, at the same time, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body, the moonlight on the night sky was covered by darkness, and the entire world was completely silent and lightless.

　　Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father frowned at this scene, his left hand was cupping a dao secret and was about to press on Lin Qiye’s brow, when the latter’s limp body suddenly transformed into a flash of darkness and disappeared without a trace.

　　”What demon?!” Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father angrily rebuked, and a Mixed Yuan Infinite Cave spread rapidly under his feet, as if it was going to swallow this pitch-black world within it!

　　”There’s no need to be nervous ……” Lin Qiye’s figure was suspended in the darkness, his eyes were still tightly closed, and a low voice came out of his throat, “There’s no way I could have harmed him, it was he who took the initiative to ask me to enter his body ……”

　　Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father stood on the Mixed Yuan Infinite Cave, his dao robe dancing lightly with the wind, and didn’t stop there, but rather, his eyes narrowed as he continued:

　　”Who is Your Excellency?”

　　”I am the residual soul of the Dark Ancestor …….”

　　Dark Ancestor’s remnant soul?

　　Ling Bao Tianzun paused for a moment, “Since you are a Dark Ancestor, why do you want to take over junior’s flesh? Why don’t you show yourself?”

　　”…… I told you, he was the one who let me in.” For some reason, the Dark Ancestor’s voice sounded a bit helpless, “I’m just a shadow now, I don’t have an original body, how can I show myself?

　　This one’s body carries my origin, so he can see me, and even let me borrow his body to reappear in the world …… Otherwise, I can’t even talk to you.

　　But don’t worry, my current state won’t last long, I’ll soon leave his body and return to the trunk of the tree.”

　　Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father carefully scrutinized Lin Qiye, who was floating in the darkness, and only after confirming that he wasn’t lying did he temporarily put away the Hybrid Infinite Cave, his expression easing up a bit.

　　”Are all the gods of your later generations as strong as you are?” The Dark Ancestor couldn’t help but lament, “Your aura is already not too far off from me in my heyday.”

　　Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father hesitated for a moment, “Not all of them are as strong as Poverty Road ……”

　　The Dark Ancestor nodded slightly, “Your own realm has already been cultivated to the extreme, and all that is missing can’t be the power of faith …… It’s strange, I don’t know how many years ago, there was also a latter-day god who came here, and his realm cultivation was a bit worse than yours, but the power of faith was very dense.

　　With your power nowadays, coupled with the worship enchantment, you should not be lacking in faith, why is the power of faith also so scarce in your body?

　　Could it be that all the living beings in the world have been destroyed?”

　　”Not entirely.” Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father paused, “It’s just that in the contemporary world, there aren’t many people who believe in us, and since we don’t want to collect believers forcibly, we cultivate ourselves with a limited amount of faith.”

　　”I see.”

　　”Dare I ask Dark Ancestor, what was that latter-day god who came here back then?”

　　”There is no origin in his body, and he can’t communicate with me, he just turned around between each of these Stonehenge, and the few people around him, they all called him a king …… seems to be called, Gilgamesh?”

　　Ling Bao Tianzun’s eyes emerged with a puzzled look:

　　”He also passed through the wall of time and space and came here? How did he get here?”

　　”When he explored this place, the Ancestral God Temple was still on Earth …… It was only later that there were some changes that caused him to stray into space and time.”

　　”Changes? Who did that?”

　　According to reason, there was no mist invasion in that era, the living beings in the world were still alive, even if there were no humans believing in the Ancestral Gods, those plants and animals were still providing a steady stream of beliefs, and even if the strength of many Ancestral Gods was far inferior to the past, it would not be so bad that they would be directly exiled to the end of time and space.

　　The Dark Ancestor was silent for a moment and slowly opened his mouth, “Those are a few monsters from outside the world, they want to invade the Ancestral God Temple, we have been entangled with them for nearly a hundred years …… Unfortunately, our strength has been weakened, and although we have barely repelled them, the Ancestral God Temple has also suffered a heavy blow and flowed into the gap between space and time. “
