The heavens began from a small hell

"This arrow...something's not right."

The ancestor of the White Fiend lineage stretched out his arm, which resembled a snow-white fox tail, as he tried to pull out the bone arrow that pierced his body. However, he saw colorful patterns of various colors spreading out from where the bone arrow had pierced his body.

Its power gradually weakened, and several attempts to pull out the bone arrow failed.

The reason why the bone arrow is considered strange is that, in the understanding of the White Fiend Ancestor, any weapon that can harm it must be a weapon of the sacrificial level, and such a weapon does not have the patterns of the Great Dao.

However, it could sense that the bone arrow contained an extremely terrifying source that made it shudder. It was the condensation of the infinite Dao, the countless superpositions of the laws of order. Although it did not have a 'sacrifice to the Dao', it truly surpassed the 'highest level at the end of the road' in common sense.

If he hadn't personally experienced all of this, the White Demon Ancestor would never have believed that such an illogical artifact existed in all worlds.

It can detect anomalies, and the other six progenitors, whose knowledge and experience are no less than that of the White Fiend Progenitor, are naturally the same.

First, the ancestral land was turned upside down, then monsters appeared from nowhere in waves, and then came this arrow that defied all reason.

Some of the progenitors even experienced a moment of disorientation, as if all of this was a bizarre and fantastical dream, and not real at this moment.

Otherwise, why would they see the Desolate Ones among those hordes of monsters, the Blackblood Progenitor who should have been completely dead, and... themselves?

The strange power of the Heavenly Lord's Bone Arrow quickly covered the entire body of the Primordial Ancestor. The consciousness of the seven Primordial Ancestors, who were pierced by the bone arrow, became blurred, turning from being clear-headed to being in a daze.

Lin Yang's idea was quite realistic. Instead of researching how to completely kill the progenitors, it would be better to let their consciousness fall into a state of confusion and seal them in an alternative way.

As long as he can deprive three or five of the progenitors of their ability to take the initiative, he can easily control the remaining progenitors without any pressure.

Even if things don't go well, there's always Huang and Ye to help. Even if the long years make people strangers, before the threat of the Strange Clan is resolved, the first target of all the powerful beings in the world will only be the Strange Clan.

However, the pace of development later on clearly exceeded Lin Yang's original expectations, and many of his previous plans became meaningless. If it weren't for the lingering thought Lin Yang had of back then, the strange clan would have disappeared silently from the world's sight.

The sacrificial battlefield beyond the heavens.

Seeing the seven ancestors, struck by arrows, fall silent, only instinctively resisting external interference, Chu Feng murmured with a mixture of joy and regret, "Did it succeed?"

He had long known that Lin Yang had used the 'Heavenly Monarch's Old Body' to refine an arrow that could break the deadlock, but he never expected the arrow to be so effective. The ancestor who was hit by the arrow fell into a dazed state without uttering a sound.

"A narrow victory."

Lin Yang, who had returned from the depths of the plateau to the realm beyond the heavens at some unknown time, said: "The main purpose of this arrow is to catch people off guard. If the Ancestor had noticed it and blocked it with a weapon, it would have been difficult to achieve such a miraculous effect."

"Moreover, although the progenitor and the sacrificial path have similar strength, their willpower, which was formed by the baptism of primordial matter, is ultimately slightly weaker than that of the sacrificial path."

"It is precisely this slight weakness that makes it impossible for the ancestors to actively escape their current state of confusion."

Chu Feng was deeply moved by these words, thinking back to when he reached the end of his path and was about to be sublimated... He truly had the resolute will to live even in the face of death, and could not leave himself any way out.

Otherwise, if there is any wavering, even for just a moment... then the ritual will truly burn everything to eternal silence, and will never be able to reappear in the world.

The progenitors obviously didn't need to consider these things. All they needed to do was for their original true selves to disappear and be taken over by a new, strange true self, making their bodies stronger, during the baptism of primordial matter.

The long years can enhance experience, but they cannot magically make the will of a long-dormant ancestor stronger or more resolute. Chu Feng believes that if 'will' can be quantified, then the 'will' of an ancestor and a supreme being at the end of the road should be roughly the same.

Just as Lin Yang said, it is slightly weaker than a true sacrificial ritual.

Lin Nuoyi, who had been torn apart by the combined attack of the two progenitors, reassembled her true form at this moment. She looked at the plateau reflected in all the worlds and asked, "Who are those monsters?"

"It's probably because it's a relic from an old era that broke free from the 'cycle of reincarnation' for some reason; it's likely related to that place."

Lin Yang responded.

Lin Nuoyi and Jiang Luoshen both knew that the 'there' he was referring to was the world beyond the Heavenly Cave, but Chu Feng frowned and asked, "There?"

By the time he rose to power, the 'Heavenly Cave' on the plateau had long been sealed off by the ancestors. After all, the true forms of the ancestors had already departed, and there was no reason to leave the entrance open to outsiders.

Furthermore, the 'Heavenly Cave' was located in the inner layer of the plateau, obscuring the secrets of heaven, so Chu Feng was completely unaware of anything related to the 'Heavenly Cave'.

"It is a passage opened by the Strange Clan through one grand sacrifice after another. Its destination is unknown, but an aura far exceeding the level of the End of the Road can be seen lingering inside."

“When the passage appeared more than a hundred years ago, two predecessors had already followed the ancestors into it.”

"When I infiltrated the plateau, I discovered that the passage had been blocked, but the blockade wasn't perfect; some traces could still be vaguely detected..."

At this point, Lin Yang paused briefly before continuing, "Before you were reborn, you said that in that life we ​​disappeared on the plateau. I guess we went there and couldn't return in time."

Upon learning that such a secret existed in the world, Chu Feng was momentarily stunned.

"Those monsters can't leave the plateau?"

Jiang Luoshen spoke up at this moment. She noticed that the group of monsters stopped when they reached the edge of the plateau, as if they had lost their sense of direction and could not go any further.

Lin Yang nodded slightly and said, "There is a strange power deep in the plateau... It becomes weaker the further out you go, and the range of activity of those monsters is the range covered by that power."

The four were not idle while they were talking. Chu Feng casually set up a defensive field to prevent the seven primordial ancestors from being disturbed in their daze. Then the four of them walked away from the sacrificial battlefield.

The four of them did not forget that there were two great ancestors at sea.

Various concepts and endless order distorted and blurred around the four people, but vanished before they could get close. Lin Yang said as he walked, "I saw the coffins where the ancestors were sleeping deep in the plateau, but those monsters destroyed them indiscriminately after they appeared."

"I have crafted a total of eight bone arrows. I can try to kill one of the progenitors and bring him back to life. If those monsters really don't distinguish between friend and foe... what awaits the progenitors is an endless cycle of death."

"It doesn't matter if the monsters don't kill the resurrected progenitor; one progenitor can't cause any trouble."

A moment after Lin Yang, Lin Nuoyi, and Jiang Luoshen stepped into the sea for the sacrificial ceremony, Chu Feng, whose aura had weakened, finally arrived late.

As he had said before, he casually reshaped the worlds destroyed by the Great Sacrifice, rewinding their timelines to before the Great Sacrifice. (End of Chapter)
