Chapter 337: Overturn the Table! Six Ancestors Fall in One Day! (Combined Part)

I feel, this problem is big.

Feng Yin, who took the initiative to contact Qin Chuan, spoke in a low voice, tone solemn and grave: 'The appearance of the Lan Clan Ancestor is not that simple.'

Hearing Feng Yin's words, Qin Chuan's expression changed slightly: 'What have you discovered?'

'Indeed, I have.' Feng Yin spoke slowly, 'Under the blessing of Qiming, I have obtained an extremely important piece of information today.'

When a race smoothly ascends the Heavenly Stairway and successfully registers for the Race War, corresponding seats will appear on the Second and Third Levels.' Feng Yin's voice paused slightly, 'Breaking the Dream World merely makes this race completely lose the possibility of a resurgence.'

But from a regulatory standpoint, they remain participants in the Race War and have not withdrawn.

'What do you mean?' Qin Chuan and Lin Yue exchanged a glance, their expressions quickly turning solemn.

Although the Lan Clan has already been wiped out, their seat on the Third Level remains reserved; theoretically, the Lan Clan could produce an Ancestor.

A thousand years ago, the mysterious Third Realm appeared, joining forces with the Crystal Clan Ancestor to heavily wound the Half-Demon Ancestor, and the timing matches when the Lan Clan ascended the Heavenly Stairway.

But…' Feng Yin's voice paused for a moment, 'Is that Lan Clan Ancestor truly from the Lan Clan?'

Could it be that a certain race used some special means to usurp this seat, allowing their own race to have two Ancestors?

Usurp…

Qin Chuan's expression quickly turned solemn.

Before Feng Yin shared this new information, he had not previously considered this angle.

But now…

It must be said, Feng Yin's speculation is highly likely to be true.

'This suspected usurper of the Lan Clan Ancestor is already dead.' Lin Yue spoke softly, 'But the Nether Ghost Ancestor and the Crystal Clan Ancestor are also dead.'

'Indeed.' Qin Chuan nodded slightly, 'If they have the ability to deceive heaven and cross the sea, to usurp other races.'

I fear the seats of the Nether Ghost Ancestor and the Crystal Clan Ancestor will soon be secretly usurped by him.

If they have the ability to push out a new Lan Clan Ancestor, then a situation would arise where a single race possesses four Ancestors.

One race, four Ancestors — upon reflection, it's utterly terrifying.

However, the other side eventually revealed a flaw.' Feng Yin spoke softly, 'Perhaps your slaying of the Crystal Clan Ancestor's true form exceeded their expectations, causing a leak in their original plan, and in their hasty deployment, some oversights appeared.'

The Crystal Clan New Ancestor was swiftly killed; this was an emergency deployment by them to seize the Crystal Clan's seat on the Third Level.

Combined with the Lan Clan Ancestor falling shortly after the Crystal Clan New Ancestor fell, they did not act personally but instead directed the Lan Clan Ancestor to strike.

The usurping Lan Clan Ancestor, after all, is not a true Lan Clan member; surely there is some difference between him and the Lan Clan.

If they don't want other Ancestors to discover this…

'He will personally kill the Lan Clan Ancestor.' Qin Chuan took up Feng Yin's words, 'So whoever killed the Lan Clan Ancestor is the true culprit.'

Although the specifics of the Third Level are unclear, and we don't know who struck down the Lan Clan Ancestor, at this moment Qin Chuan faintly sensed an answer in his heart.

Feng Yin chuckled lightly, 'You say, if we spread this news, what would happen?'

Qin Chuan's eyes flickered with an uncertain light.

That sounds like a good idea.

Since the Heavenly Stairway is already a chaotic mess, we might as well make it even more chaotic.

'Let's do it!' — 'Panggaler!!!'

Accompanied by three angry roars, the Half-Demon Ancestor, Dwarf Demon Ancestor, and Dragon Ancestor descended simultaneously, fiercely staring at the Moon Spirit Ancestor sitting cross-legged in the void.

'Lan Clan Ancestor, is it you Moon Spirits who usurped?!'

The three Ancestors' faces still bore expressions of disbelief; upon receiving the report from their kin that this information had already spread throughout the Heavenly Stairway, they simply could not believe it.

The Lan Clan Ancestor was killed by the Moon Spirit Ancestor right under their noses; they suspected nobody, never imagining that the other party was the Moon Spirit Ancestor! After all, once the notice appeared, the other party was certainly dead.

'Lords, this is a rumor spread by the Human Race.' The Moon Spirit Ancestor's expression remained calm, 'They said it, and you believed it?'

'Our four races are feuding, and the ones benefiting are the Human Race.'

'This is nothing but underhanded tricks with ulterior motives; the Human Race merely wants to drive a wedge between us, nothing more.'

'No need to say more; I only ask one thing.' The Dragon Ancestor spoke in a low voice, 'After killing the Lan Clan Ancestor, why did you destroy its body?'

They, after all, are Ancestors of their respective races; how could they possibly believe mere rumors and directly come to confront the Moon Spirit Ancestor?

The reason they came to kill now is because, combining the rapidly spreading rumors on the Heavenly Stairway, they truly discovered doubts in the process of the Lan Clan Ancestor's downfall.

That is, the Moon Spirit Ancestor clearly killed the Lan Clan Ancestor with a single strike, yet used a second strike to destroy its body.

At that time, all three of them were shocked by the identity of the Lan Clan Ancestor and unintentionally overlooked this detail.

And now…

If the Lan Clan Ancestor is not actually of the Lan Clan, then everything is explained.

How could they not believe the content of the rumors? The Moon Spirit Ancestor fell silent.

He could actually fabricate an excuse and reason, for example, that he hated the other side so much he couldn't help but destroy the corpse and erase traces.

But such an excuse is too far-fetched; it wouldn't fool the three Ancestors.

Well, maybe it could fool the Half-Demon Ancestor, but the other two are both intelligent.

Seeing the Moon Spirit Ancestor silent, the Dwarf Demon Ancestor gripped a massive axe, terrifying aura surging around him.

'Surely it's you!' the Dwarf Demon Ancestor bellowed, 'What will you do next?'

'Will you kill me, A Lai Da, and Di Suosi in succession? Continue to take over our nests, seize our seats?'

'No, Sheng Kainen.' The Moon Spirit Ancestor slowly raised his head, looking at the Dwarf Demon Ancestor, his voice carrying an unprecedented calm.

He revealed a gentle smile.

'No need for succession.' — 【Half-Demon Ancestor Di Suosi fallen】

【Dwarf Demon Ancestor Sheng Kainen fallen】

【Dragon Ancestor A Lai Da fallen】

Three lines of text appeared consecutively before his eyes, Qin Chuan stared dumbfounded.

What's going on? He was just discussing with Feng Yin how to stir this muddy water even more, how did it end up like this? Feng Yin initiated contact immediately, and upon connection, he spoke in a heavy tone: "It seems the Moon Spirit Ancestor is indeed responsible."

"How can he be this strong?" Qin Chuan rubbed his face, still feeling incredulous.

These are three ancestors, and even includes the Dragon Ancestor, the strongest in single combat.

They joined forces, yet were all killed by the Moon Spirit Ancestor? Even though knowing this old guy has lived over ten thousand years, he still feels incredulous.

Since the fall of the Crystal Clan's Ancestor Camille, not even a full Heavenly Stairway day has passed.

Including the new Ancestor of the Crystal Clan and the Ancestor of the Lan Clan, six ancestor-level powerhouses have fallen in this day.

Now, aside from the still-living Moon Spirit Ancestor, on the Heavenly Stairway there isn't even a second Third Realm powerhouse to be found.

"I didn't expect his reaction to be like this either." Feng Yin's voice also carried a hint of helplessness.

He, like Qin Chuan, originally just wanted to cause some trouble for the Moon Spirit Ancestor.

Who would have thought the Moon Spirit Ancestor would flip the table, being even more ruthless than the Human Race?

"If nothing unexpected happens, when you reach the Third Level, you're likely to face seven ancestors from the Moon Spirit Clan." Feng Yin's voice turned completely grave: "Really no problem?"

"Quantity means nothing to me." Qin Chuan slightly shook his head, "Even if there are seven Third Realm experts, they can still be killed."

"What I worry about is that he still has other means."

"Other body parts of the Administrator?" Feng Yin understood, "It's just that over this long time, I've never obtained any information about the Administrator's body parts; otherwise I might have been able to help you."

"The Administrator's existence transcends the Heavenly Stairway; even golden talent cannot obtain the corresponding information, so it's not your fault." Qin Chuan sighed, "I only hope that the Moon Spirit Ancestor's control over the Administrator's permissions isn't too great."

"News came from the front lines: the Moon Spirit Clan suddenly appeared with a large number of experts never seen before, frantically looting the Half Demon Clan, Dwarf Demon Clan, and Dragon Clan." Feng Yin's voice paused slightly, "They have no intention of hiding anymore."

"We shouldn't fall behind either." Qin Chuan said solemnly, "You, Long Ji, Yifulin, Zefina, Oli'erjia, Hongye, hurry to the Second Level; our clansmen on the First Level will attack the Half Demon, Dwarf Demon, and Dragon Clans."

"Okay." Feng Yin agreed, then suddenly said, "Why Hongye? I thought you would let Leonhart go up to the Second Level."

"After all, he is a Soul Fusion."

"What did you say?" Qin Chuan showed a surprised and bewildered expression, "Leonhart? Soul Fusion?"

Feng Yin fell silent for a moment, "Turns out you didn't know..."

Qin Chuan and Lin Yue exchanged a glance.

"In that case, let Leonhart come up."

After skipping this little incident, Qin Chuan solemnly said, "When all other races are wiped out, that will be the time of our decisive battle with the Moon Spirit Clan."

"By then, I will ascend to the Third Level of the Heavenly Stairway, initiate the final Race War, and do battle with the Moon Spirit Ancestor."

"Okay." Feng Yin's voice also grew solemn, "I never expected the Race War would ultimately become a showdown between just two races."

"I didn't expect it either." Qin Chuan gave a wry smile, "It's a bit passive, but there's nothing else we can do."

"Right." He suddenly thought of something, "Is the effect of the Insight's third talent to predict the future?"

"After being in the Heavenly Stairway for so long, have you used it?"

On the other end of the communication, Feng Yin directly cut off the line.

Qin Chuan and Lin Yue looked at each other, then gave a helpless smile, "It seems the prediction's outcome isn't good."

"The future can be changed." Lin Yue took Qin Chuan's hand, "I only regret that I can't accompany you to the Third Level."

"I will settle everything." Qin Chuan's voice paused, "It seems I still owe you a wedding."

Lin Yue stared at Qin Chuan, then suddenly let out a light laugh.

"Wait until the Race War ends." — Heavenly Stairway Third Level, Moon Spirit Ancestor sat cross-legged in the void, his eyes dull as he gazed ahead.

Beside him, three corpses that had lost all signs of life lay scattered on the ground, belonging respectively to the Half Demon Ancestor, the Dwarf Demon Ancestor, and the Dragon Ancestor.

"Heh~ Your actions this time are somewhat beyond my expectations." A cold voice echoed in the Moon Spirit Ancestor's mind, "Panggalier, the last time I saw you like this was ten thousand years ago."

"I thought time would wear away your edge, but I didn't expect that after hiding for ten thousand years, you're still as sharp as ever."

"I'm tired of hiding and pretending." The Moon Spirit Ancestor's gaze shifted from scattered to focused; his low voice reverberated throughout the Third Level, his once gentle and jade-like aura quietly shifting, ultimately becoming like a blade that seemed to cleave heaven and earth.

"I have waited too long, borne too much."

"Ten thousand years ago, I only wanted to bring my race to survive; ten thousand years later, my desire remains nothing more than the continuation of my race."

"Shengkain, Aleda, Disos." The Moon Spirit Ancestor's gaze swept over the three corpses, speaking each of their names in life, a flicker of contempt in his eyes, "They have never seen the wrath of gods, never seen the resentment of all beings, yet they dare to question my actions?"

"I agree with that." The cold voice chuckled, "So then, what do you plan to do next?"

"Naturally, we proceed according to the plan." The Moon Spirit Ancestor's eyes flickered with madness, "They have already been preparing for this."

The cold voice knew what the Moon Spirit Ancestor meant by "plan," and who "they" referred to.

He fell silent for a moment, then spoke softly.

"Panggalier, you are more of an omen than I am." — Time flew, and the situation on the Heavenly Stairway changed dramatically each day.

Besides the Iron Hammer guarding in the Dream World, the other six golden-talented players immediately ascended to the Second Level of the Heavenly Stairway, breaking through from the peak of the First Realm to the Second Realm.

They, together with Qin Chuan and Lin Yue, launched a campaign to encircle and suppress the Second Realm experts of other races, and in the process obtained large amounts of Mythic Hearts, fully enhancing their strength before the final showdown.

The Moon Spirit Clan's nine Chief Priests seemed to have vanished; after the Moon Spirit Ancestor killed the other three Ancestors, they never appeared again, nor did they ever participate in the encirclement of the Second Realm experts of each clan.

Qin Chuan had tried to locate them using the sundial hand third talent, but the result was unexpected, because the sundial hand, which had always been effective, actually failed when trying to lock onto the Moon Spirit Chief Priests.

In the lower First Level of the Heavenly Stairway, the Moon Spirit Clan surged with large numbers of First Realm experts never seen before; their previously hidden strength, once fully revealed, now had the confidence to stand against the human force occupying half of the Heavenly Stairway.

Both the Human Race and the Moon Spirit Clan clearly understood they would be each other's final opponents in the Race War, yet during the campaign to suppress other races, they tacitly avoided each other.

Until three months later.

The Human Race and Moon Spirit Clan completely wiped out the Crystal Clan, Half Demon Clan, Dwarf Demon Clan, and Dragon Clan on the Heavenly Stairway, destroying the Dream Worlds of all four races, leaving them unable to return to the Heavenly Stairway.

On the Heavenly Stairway, only the Human Race and Moon Spirit remained.

Having long met the requirements to enter the Third Level, Qin Chuan gazed at the sky for a while, then waved farewell to his beloved and comrades behind him, and resolutely stepped through the portal opened in the void.

Ascending, Heavenly Stairway Third Level!
