"You fool! You ruined all my hard work! But did you really think I'll let you ruin my dream?!"
Tian Shen flew high in the sky, a blood red aura rising all around him.
"Even if you're not alive, I'll draw out everything I can from your body! I will definitely complete my bloodline!"
The blood red aura spread throughout the entire world, illuminating every corner with an eerie glow. As Tian Shen's powers grew stronger, the balance of nature began to shift, causing winds to howl and tides to rise. However, amidst the chaos, a blood red formation circle was created around Long Chen's body.
The formation circle pulsated with ancient energy, slowly linking with Long Chen's body, acting as a temporary source of life that kept his bloodline stimulated.
Long Chen's body started floating in the sky, as if he was alive. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
"No matter what I have to do! I'll take what belongs to !" Tian Shen roared as he completed the formation.
While a thread of the formation connected to Long Chen, the other connected to Tian Shen, starting a process.
As the process unfolded, Long Chen's body began to glow with a warm, golden light, reflecting the trendous power coursing through his bloodline.

"How foolish..." An unknown voice echoed in the surrounding, as if it was coming from all directions.
Unfortunately, there was only darkness all around, making it impossible to see anything?
"I haven't died?" An uncertain voice ca in response, belonging to Long Chen.
He didn't know where he was, but he felt like he was as light as air. His mind was ssed up, making it hard for him to temporarily rember everything. However, as he spent more ti here, he rembered stabbing himself.
"To think that it's you, who couldn't even protect himself. I am disappointed!" That Unknown Voice ca again.
"Who is speaking?! Who are you?!" Long Chen asked, his voice getting louder as well.
He couldn't see anything in this darkness. He couldn't feel himself either, nor feel any pain from the sword.
"Did you think by killing yourself, you would stop him?" The voice asked.
"Did I have any other choice? You think I wanted to die?! If I fought, I would've been caught alive! Was I supposed to let him have what he wanted? This was the only option I had!"
Long Chen didn't know why, but despite not recognising this voice, he felt that it was very close to him. He didn't feel any hostility from the voice. Although the voice was mocking him, he could also feel slight concern in it.
"If only... If only I was able to learn the Inheritance of the Demonic Ancestor... I wouldn't have to take this cowardly route out! But this body and soul of mine... I couldn't learn anything. If only..."
Long Chen also felt a strange sense of unwillingness in his heart. He had always fought his way out of problems. But in this mont, he had no choice as his talent and his soul had all abandoned him. He chose the next best option he had.
He had never felt this pathetic in the past. But now, he couldn't help but look down on himself. However, he still didn't regret the decision.
"Where am I? Is this afterlife?" he asked. "What a good place to be my hell..."
"Why do you think you couldn't accept that inheritance?" the voice asked, this ti it ca only from a single direction. It ca from behind him.
Long Chen turned around, but still he was unable to see anyone.
"It's because I don't have the talent!" he answered.
"If you don't have the talent, why is that person after your bloodline?" The voice asked again, making Long Chen think. "Are you saying that this bloodline gave birth to untalented people?"
"Then why? Why wasn't I able to learn even a few scriptures without forgetting everything? Why did I have to be made a fool? Why did I have to kill myself?! Why did I..."
Long Chen didn't continue, but his aning was clear, his sadness evident in his voice.
If he had any other choice, he would've never given up. He would've fought to death, as long as he could protect his future and his family. However, things had co to this point. What was it if not his lack of talent that failed to grasp high grade scriptures of the Demonic Ancestor?
"It's because..." The Voice spoke, pausing abruptly. "That knowledge originated from soone you could never accept from..."
"That knowledge originated from soone I could never accept? How could you say that? That knowledge originated from the Ancestral God, one of the two supre beings who had created this world! How was that beneath ?!"
Long Chen refused to believe the voice. Could the Ancestral God's knowledge be beneath him? It was more accurate to say that he was beneath it!
"Think about your origin... You will get your answer..." The Voice spoke before going silent.
Long Chen asked many following questions, but the voice didn't answer. There was only complete silence.
After so ti, Long Chen also stopped asking as he seriously started thinking about the words. His origin? Was the voice talking about his ho world and the Long Clan? Or was it talking about...
"My bloodline?" he muttered, his voice soft and filled with intrigue.
The idea that his bloodline held so sort of significance wasn't a knowledge hidden to him. As he thought about it, he rembered sothing.
As he reflected on his past, a wave of mories flooded his mind, revealing the mont when he had entered the Cave where he found the Ancient Myriad Beast.
There, he had seen so carvings in the wall, telling a story about the two Ancestral Gods who created the universe. Those two never agreed on anything.
That's also why the Myriad Ancient Beast and the Rainbow Phoenix had fought for thousands of years after the Gods disappeared.
"No, that can't be. One of the two gods was sealed by the other. That ans the Knowledge of the Demonic Ancestor ca from the remaining god. And this bloodline, it can only be from the remaining god as well. If that wasn't the case, why would Rainbow Phoenix be against , since she was the pet of the sealed god?"
"If my bloodline and the knowledge ca from the sa source, then why couldn't I accept it? Unless…"
