"Will they bury one person in a pile, or will they bury a large number of people in one pile?"

The fire tribulation lasted an exceptionally long time, especially when burning water-element cultivators. Su Yan and the Holy Mother Xuan Tong, being water-element cultivators, were particularly resistant to the fire.

Su Yan even had time to rant here, instead of whimpering and howling from being burned by the Samadhi True Fire.

"How about we bury them separately? After all, although we are friends despite our age difference, there is a real relationship between you and my great-granddaughter. If we bury them together, the people of the Xia Yu Dynasty will gossip about it." Empress Dowager Su let out a silvery laugh, echoing Su Yan's complaint.

"If you're going to be buried, you and the Holy Mother Xuantong can be buried in the same room! I'd rather stay in a private room."

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, do you still have any ashes?" Su Yan endured the excruciating pain of being burned alive and asked the Empress Dowager Su with a twitching expression.

"Although there is no physical body, the soul will still burn out some things when it manifests its true spirit," Empress Dowager Yousu said, her breathing slightly heavier.

"It's probably a few pounds of ash, so I guess I'm suited for a single room, and I can finish it off in one bottle."

Time passed slowly, and Su Yan and Empress Dowager Su remained silent.

In the subconscious dream time, more than 40 million Xuan Tong Holy Mother clones surrounded the main body and whispered, as if discussing whether it was reasonable for her to live in the same room as Su Yan.

After all, the original owner wanted to find her son, so it seems unethical for a mother and son to live in the same tomb.

"Waaaaah"

Su Yan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, no longer able to maintain his youthful form sitting cross-legged on the bed. As the immortal energy within his body was consumed, Su Yan manifested as a little fox and landed on the carpet beside the bed, where he began to roll around.

The little fox's fur had disappeared, and the skin that had been covered by long fur was now completely exposed. It was bright red and showed signs of being charred and burnt. Having lost its fur, which could resist magic and supernatural powers, the Samadhi True Fire was now burning Su Yan at full power, making him scream in agony.

Come—come to Mommy.

Just as Su Yan subconsciously wanted to activate the Universe and summon the Fountain of Reality to relieve the pain.

A voice echoed in Su Yan's heart. As the woman's voice spread, Su Yan's vision went black, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. He felt as if a cold stream was flowing around him, and he could no longer feel the pain of being burned by flames.

Su Yan's body floated in the underground river, drifting downstream. He fell from waterfall after waterfall without regaining consciousness, until he landed in a dark, completely dark pool and stopped drifting.

In a daze, Su Yan felt as if she had bumped into something soft. When she regained control of her body and opened her eyes, she saw a woman's fair arm around her, bringing her to rest in a safe harbor.

My nose must have hit the Eastern Hemisphere.

"Lord Ancestor!?"

As the hazy feeling faded, Su Yan was startled when he saw the woman's face clearly. He exclaimed:

"Is the Samadhi True Fire really that terrifying? I didn't even have to use any magic to resist it, and it burned me to death?"

"Call me Mom!"

Yinglong slowly sat up from the pool, his face showing dissatisfaction as he pulled at Su Yan's cheek, persistently correcting him:

“You weren’t burned to death, but there was no need for you to go through those pointless fire tribulations, so I summoned a part of your true spirit to make your tribulation easier.”

"You are a child with a mother, after all. How could your mother watch you suffer?"

Chapter 812 Su Yan's Past and Present Lives

"You are a child with a mother, after all. How could your mother watch you suffer?"

"That fire tribulation is truly inhuman. Its original purpose was a test set by the will of Heaven for cultivators of the Inner Alchemy path. If they cannot overcome it, they will surely be reduced to ashes. The will of Heaven does not want any cowards among its warriors in the future."

Yinglong slowly sat up from the dark pool, smiling broadly as he reached out and grabbed Su Yan's fox-like face, pulling and tugging at it while explaining the true meaning of the fire calamity.

The will of Heaven has decided to start a war, and naturally, it needs to have elite and brave soldiers under its command. The final tribulation for all inner alchemy cultivators is the fire tribulation, a calamity that can cause endless pain to the body, mind, and soul.

Even if a cultivator can endure the pain of their body, mind, and soul being gradually burned, the Heavenly Will can rest assured that even if they fall into the enemy camp and are unable to intervene in other worlds, they will not be able to betray information about the Primordial Immortal Realm after being tortured by the enemy.

"Won't you fail the tribulation in this way?" Su Yan looked at the Ancestor Yinglong with surprise and said, "Moreover, Ancestor, aren't you worried that the Youchao Clan or the Will of Heaven will notice you when you are exposed to the Eye of Law?"

"Hahaha"

Seeing Su Yan's worried expression, Ying Long couldn't help but chuckle and said, "We can't fail. Our ancestors fought so hard for so long. If the younger generation can't enjoy the benefits, how can we show the greatness of our ancestors?"

"I possess a great deal of merit, and I will give you a portion of it. The Queen Mother of the West previously allocated some merit to you and Empress Dowager Yousu. With merit protecting you, you cannot possibly fail."

Seeing that Su Yan was somewhat confused, Yinglong continued:

"The power of merit has a wide range of uses, just like the fate of a nation and the fortune of the world. However, the greatest use of the power of merit is during reincarnation and tribulation. As long as your power of merit is powerful enough, you can even decide what kind of person you will be reincarnated into in your next life."

"Just like a character customization system in a game, you can be born incredibly handsome and rich. You can even spend your merits to determine your cultivation talent in the next life. Of course, buying cultivation talent is very expensive, and only beings with the power to create the world and the Gusha deity can afford it."

"The second major use of the power of merit is that when a cultivator is unable to withstand the tribulation, the laws of heaven and earth will quietly release the corresponding amount of merit."

When Su Yan heard the familiar, long-forgotten terms like "game character creation system," "enhancement rate," and "pay-to-win" from the Yinglong Ancestor, he didn't react with any unusual emotion.

After all, the main reason I was reincarnated into the cultivation world was because of the Ancestor Yinglong. When she was tricked by the will of heaven and lost in the river of time, she captured me by chance, thus learning about the existence of other spatial dimensions and completely getting rid of the schemes of the will of heaven.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Yinglong Ancestor knew about his past life. Perhaps the Yinglong Ancestor even lived in his past life's world.

"Lord Ancestor."

With these thoughts in mind, Su Yan looked at the smiling Yinglong Ancestor before him and asked, "What kind of world was my past life? Was it really as I had seen and heard before?"

The smile on Yinglong Ancestor's face gradually faded, a slight glint of something unusual flashing across his face. He shook his head and said, "The world you lived in in your previous life has already reached its end. The world has long since entered the Dharma-ending Age."

"However, the Dharma-ending Age I am talking about is different from the Dharma-ending Age in a broad sense. There are no cultivators in that world. Their main way to become stronger is through genetic technology and viruses to modify their physical bodies."

"The so-called end times are when living beings have reached the bottleneck of this world and can no longer make any progress. They are constantly threatened by death and confusion. All living beings in the world are caught in unconscious involution, trying to break free of their shackles."

"The flesh and blood powerhouses of that world have long since died in the involution frenzy, the Heavenly Dao has long since collapsed and perished, and the Heavenly Will has fallen into slumber, waiting for the cycle of reincarnation to begin again."

"Fortunately, the surviving flesh and blood beings have long since lost the power to traverse the void and rule the endless star fields." The Ancestor Yinglong did not hide Su Yan's past life and told him about the information about Su Yan's past life's planet.

There are no cultivators in that world. Their methods of becoming stronger are genetic and biotechnology, creating beings who are themselves eternal, blazing suns. Under their dazzling radiance, even beings who witness their existence may undergo unknowable mutations.

That was a very crazy world.

But that world was already at the end of its life cycle, and it appeared unusually peaceful inside and outside the world, waiting for the cycle to begin again.

"Why is our little fox homesick?" Ancestor Yinglong asked with a smile.

"My longing is real, but as for going back, can I even go back now?" Su Yan gave a bitter laugh: "I'm just a little curious about my true appearance in my past life."

Going back is easier said than done. Putting aside the fact that the karmic entanglements here have already taken root and sprouted, just considering his current situation, if he were to go back now, he would probably be directly judged as an intruder by the will of heaven, and even have his collaborators quickly awaken and strangle him.

Su Yan doesn't possess the earth-shattering power of an ancestor, capable of stealing the sky and changing the sun without anyone knowing.

Moreover, compared to being alone in his previous life, Su Yan has already settled down here in this life. It is impossible for him to abandon everything here and run back to the past. He is only feeling nostalgic now because talking about the past makes him feel nostalgic.

Su Yan loved the cultivation world very much. Although the environment of the original immortal realm was somewhat cruel, there were also many beings who voluntarily stood up to fight against the inescapable fate.

"Since our little fox is homesick, shouldn't we introduce the word 'mother'?" Ancestor Yinglong said, looking at Su Yan with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"You unfilial son, quickly open your mouth and sweetly call me 'Mom'!"

"Yes, Ancestor." Su Yan turned his head and replied in a low voice with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Su Yan couldn't quite bring herself to call her "Mom" properly yet, and felt a little awkward.

Although Yinglong's mother is indeed his mother, Su Yan has only met her three times so far, even if she is considered an entity within Yinglong's treasure trove.

It's really hard to say "Mom" out loud; I need some time to get used to it.

"Humph!"

The progenitor of the Yinglong clan snorted in dissatisfaction, flipped through the dragon clan's genealogy again, kicked Su Yan out and pulled him back in, repeating this back and forth several times before he could barely calm down.

"You weren't so shy around Zhuyin and the Queen Mother of the West."

After humming a few times, the Ancestor Yinglong said, "Mother can't get over this hurdle, but I didn't call you here today to reminisce and cultivate our relationship."

"But there are some things I want to tell you, and I want to convey them to the dragons through your mouth."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 813 Remember to run fast, because nobody knows what will happen after defeat.

“I can’t always communicate with the outside world. Our little fox hasn’t encountered any danger, and I can’t see you either.”

Yinglong's river of time is very special, belonging to the beginning of the world's birth, on the eve of the awakening of the will of heaven.

Although she could locate the anchor point of real time through Su Yan's existence and know some things, she was the only one who knew, and she could not directly tell her friend on the other side.

Therefore, Yinglong needs to go through Su Yanyi or his father to send out the information.

Some information cannot be conveyed through thoughts, otherwise it would be very easy to cause information leakage.

"After returning, inform the Dragon Clan not to get involved in the River of Oblivion. The power left behind by the little dragons is for protecting the continuation of their bloodline. They do indeed have the power to seize the River of Oblivion, but the losses will be enormous, and the power left behind by the little dragons will dissipate."

Yinglong Ancestor looked at Su Yan and said, "Moreover, this will also provoke Youchao Clan to the point of madness. There is no need to exert effort in a place that does not please anyone. Aiming at the Netherworld and attacking it together is a much better idea."

"The waters of the River of Oblivion?" Su Yan was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding what his ancestral mother meant by this.

The old order doesn't seem to have taken any action against Youdu. Currently, they are mainly focusing on the Central Court World and the Daosheng family, aiming to eliminate Hunyi.

"The waters of the River of Oblivion contain the memories and information of all the dead since the beginning of time. Obtaining them would bring immeasurable benefits, but they would be useless if one could not withstand the endless flow of information."

“If you’re interested, you can give it a try, but remember to warn the dragons not to get involved,” Yinglong said.

The waters of the River of Oblivion should have belonged to Tu Bo, but unfortunately, the time was not right when he encountered the River of Oblivion.

Now that the time is ripe, he should reclaim the waters of the River of Oblivion that he shares a deep affection for. If the dragon race gets involved in this matter, although the power passed down from the Four Dragon Gods can help the dragon race obtain the River of Oblivion.

However, the price was too high. Tu Bo and Wangchuan River had an agreement that if the dragons tried to seize ownership of Wangchuan River, they would inevitably be attacked by Tu Bo and Wangchuan River together.

It takes time to retrieve and refine it, and it doesn't necessarily lead to immediate advancement to a Holy Spirit.

Therefore, when the progenitor Yinglong realized that this would happen in the near future, he thought about finding an opportunity to stop the dragon clan's next scheme, so as not to lose both his wife and his army.

"There is one more thing. When you kill Hunyi or Tubo or Longnu, you must pay attention to the appearance of Youchao. They are very important to the Netherworld and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady."

"Who is the Dragon Girl? Is she from our clan?"

Faced with Su Yan's question, the Ancestor Yinglong gently shook his head and did not elaborate on the origins of this dragon girl.

"She was born in the chaos of war between heaven and earth, that is, the great chaos caused by the dragons and phoenixes. She is not of our kind; she is a dragon-shaped aggregate of resentment."

"By the way, Youchao has been keeping an eye on you lately. When you use the Return to Emptiness and Merge with the Dao technique, remember to call my name."

At this point, the Ancestor Yinglong's lips curled up slightly in a wicked smile: "Remember to use words like 'mama,' 'mother,' or 'madam' when you call him. These kinds of words will make it easier to wake up the sleeping Ancestor. Otherwise, the Ancestor may experience intermittent deafness."

"Why is Youchao staring at me?" Su Yan asked with a puzzled expression. "Is it because of Senior Bai Ze?"

"It has nothing to do with Bai Ze. It's just a normal procedure. The Return to Emptiness and Merge with the Dao method is the work of the will of Heaven. Its power is extraordinary. It is definitely a method that is restricted and easily passed down in this world. Before the arrival of the new world, only a small number of people in the world can possess it."
