Apotheosis

As Zen arrived at the edge of the primitive land, he approached the huge plants which resembled bamboo shoots with great caution.

When these plants reached their current size, their cyan color faded and was replaced by a golden sheen. They appeared very sturdy and strong.

Just as Zen was about to move closer, the plants in the shape of bamboo shoots that had intertwined to resemble dog teeth suddenly separated and began to snap at Zen within a few seconds.

Zen was not prepared and barely had any time to dodge. His whole body was bitten, ground, and chewed to pieces by the teeth.

Luckily for him, it was just an avatar.

"Buzz!"

On the continent at the center of the primitive land, Zen's avatar condensed again. He appeared angry and disgraced.

In the past, he had always had complete control over his inner world though it was still quite small.

Now that it had expanded, he couldn't believe that he was bound to it instead of the other way around.

"Do you want to fight with me?" Zen challenged, looking into the blood mist in the sky.

Just then, a thick cloud of blood mist floated in the air above him like an animal taunting its prey.

"Then come on!" Zen's said coldly.

All of a sudden, he had an idea.

The continents floated in the sky had linked to one another.

As long as he remained on these continents, Zen was omniscient. He had to use this to his advantage.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

As the continents connected, Zen stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air.

The newly combined continent rose and eventually, reached the highest point of the primitive land.

Before Zen knew it, the blood mist that came from the ancestry-level bloodline hovered right above his head.

Zen slowly stretched out his hand and immersed it in the blood mist, "Seize it!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

A powerful storm formed at the center of Zen's hand.

"Whoosh!"

With one toss, the storm swept up and with astonishing speed, sucked the floating blood mist within seconds.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

The ancestry-level bloodline wouldn't go down without a fight.

It morphed into blood red winged bugs in an attempt to escape the storm.

However, a storm created by the all-powerful creator could not be resisted. This wa

e was now, he wouldn't have been able to do anything to the bloodline.

"Ah, so you could talk even before? Why did you keep silent all the time?" Zen asked with smile.

Spiritual creatures could gain extraordinary wisdom after they lived a long time. The ancestry-level bloodline was no exception to this.

"Because I had to observe you well," the bloody man said, emotionless.

"Observe me for what?" Zen raised an eyebrow.

"To see if you are trustworthy," the bloody man nodded.

After the ancestry-level bloodline was brought back by the Bird Spirit King Sheehan, it had been trapped in the Eternal Divine Courtyard. During those years, the Four Spirits Sect kept exploiting its power.

It had no clue where it came from nor whom it belonged to. The bloodline spent its life aimlessly.

When it decided Zen was an excellent host, it wasted no time and immediately integrated with him.

As Zen carried the ancestry-level bloodline, the bloodline reconstructed Zen.

"You have become a part of me. Don't I deserve your trust?" Zen said welcomingly.

The bloody man coldly glanced up at Zen and looked back down. "In a world that has been downgraded, no one could be trusted. Not even you..."

"Downgraded?" Zen shook his head in confusion, "What do you mean?"

The bloody man sighed and continued to explain, "If a creature in the main world becomes a creature in the chaos, it has been downgraded. After the Monkey Masters died, they became Treacherous Beings. That, is a kind of downgrade."
