Chapter 37: Ancestor Manifestation

In the dark prison cell, several men and women sat withered on the ground, only one fat man kept kneeling facing the wall, muttering to himself.

"I say fat man, aren't you annoying? What era is it now, and your family still sticks to the rules of the ancient times, worshipping some ancestor. If your ancestors could really protect you, we wouldn't have ended up in such a situation."

A woman opened her eyes and looked at the fat man opposite with annoyance.

"You know nothing. Bai Wu, I know you are a supporter of the Mechanical True Lord, but you have to make it clear that the Mechanical Revolution originated from my ancestor. Even the True Lord himself, when he sees my ancestor, has to be polite and offer incense and worship. What's wrong with me worshipping? Now that the mission is not going well, don't tell me that my worshipping the ancestor is hindering you." The fat man argued strongly, completely without his usual caution.

Lanyu Continent, since the Mechanical Revolution began 100,000 years ago, had entered the Mechanical Era. Now the family traditions of the ancient times had also been abandoned by Lanyu Continent, entering a state where family and country were one, the country unified to raise children, and there were no parents, nor ancestors. Of course, the Li family was an exception; the Li family's ancestors had contributed greatly to humanity, so everyone tacitly accepted some of the Li family's behaviors.

However, because it was contrary to social laws, the Li family's descendants had always acted cautiously, not fighting with others, just to avoid trouble and bring the Federal Government's harassment.

But there was one thing that all Li family descendants would argue strongly for, and that was anything involving their ancestors.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. If he wants to worship, let him worship. Don't forget that the Federal Government has an agreement with the gods of this world, letting us come to stop the New Gods from destroying the legal system. We were imprisoned by the New God's minions just after we entered, so we should think about how to get out."

Another man spoke to stop the two's argument.

After this group of people entered the Tianhuo Domain, they understood the situation and found that the place they were in was not the main continent, but several subsidiary spaces of the main continent, so they planned to cross the abyss ancient road to Great Chu.

But the problem was that these people were too high-profile. The Demon Lord had long ruled everything outside the Great Chu Domain, and of course, he could sense their arrival.

More importantly, the Demon Lord had also contacted the New God forces outside the domain, bringing the new legal system to Great Chu, preparing to overthrow the old legal system of the Great Chu Dynasty in one fell swoop. How could he let these few enemies go to Great Chu to stir up trouble?

If it weren't for the fact that the Demon Lord was currently fighting with all the Old Gods of the Tianhuo Domain's "Underworld" and couldn't get away, he might have descended personally.

As soon as Li Xianzhi entered the prison cell, he saw the painting on the wall. The person in the painting was none other than Li Xianzhi himself.

"That fat man is probably the descendant of my bloodline from one of my lives." Li Xianzhi looked at the fat man kneeling before the portrait, understanding in his heart.

Tap tap tap.

A series of footsteps sounded in the dim prison cell. Several soldiers, wearing armor, walked toward the few people who were imprisoned with solemn expressions.

"It's over, they're here. You fat man, isn't your ancestor useful? Then call him out to save us. Heh." Bai Wu looked at Li Dongdong, who was still worshipping devoutly, with disdain.

At this moment, their thought power was sealed, and all equipment could not be used; they had no ability to resist the soldiers of Hanging Mountain.

The prison door was opened.

"Your good days have come to an end."

Just now, the City Lord Mansion received the highest order to deal with these few people.

"What's wrong with doing anything else, why be a running dog for Great Chu? It's just a feudal dynasty, with so much oppression and so much misery. Only the Heavenly God Official can bring the true meaning of civilization."

Several soldiers did not know the true identity of the few people in the prison cell at all. They just regarded them as traitors from outside the domain.

Outside the domain, since the Demon Lord's revival, it had been a thousand years since he ruled everything. The Demon Lord was the highest official outside the domain, the Heavenly God Official. Below him were the seven major forces of the Three Mountains and Four Seas. Outside the domain, the Heavenly God Official was the supreme official, holding the balance of fairness.

In terms of social fairness, the outside domain was far superior to Great Chu. Here, everyone was protected by the balance of fairness, and the most basic rights of all living beings were guaranteed. The superiors had no right to dispose of the inferiors at will, and everything had to be reasonable and well-founded. It was precisely this rule that allowed the Demon Lord to quickly gather the support of all races and twist the entire outside domain into a rope.

Li Xianzhi remembered that a thousand years ago, the Three Mountains and Four Seas were so domineering outside the domain. In order to stop his endless killing, they drove wave after wave of cannon fodder, consuming countless vital forces of the Great Chu Dynasty.

If it weren't for the huge involvement of the replacement of the old and new legal systems, Li Xianzhi might have given a thumbs up to that Demon Lord he had never met.

"Let's go. If there is an afterlife, remember not to do evil and be a good person." The soldiers looked at the few people with pity.

"Ancestor, save me."

"I won't go, I won't go." The fat man Li Dongdong looked at the portrait on the wall pitifully.

This was his first mission; he didn't expect that he would lose his life on the spot without doing anything. He didn't bring this portrait with him on a whim, but because the elders of the Li family had repeatedly warned him that if something unexpected happened, he should pray to the portrait.

According to the stories passed down through generations in the Li family, the Li family's ancestor seemed to be a Supreme Great Power, walking in the long river of time. If descendants were in trouble, they only needed to pray wholeheartedly, and there would definitely be a response.

Li Dongdong didn't believe this. If it were really so, his Li family wouldn't have had so many clansmen meet with unexpected disasters over the years.

But at this moment, Li Dongdong had no choice but to believe it.

Li Dongdong's pig-like wailing made the several soldiers stunned. The other four teammates looked at Li Dongdong with disgust.

"Can you stop for a while? Even if you die, die with some dignity." Bai Wu was cold by nature and had no fear of death.

The captain, Long Zhan, and the other two looked helpless. At this moment, they had no way out.

Li Dongdong didn't care about so much; he only hoped that the legends about his ancestors were true. Li Dongdong hugged the prison door desperately, wailing and turning his head to look at the painting on the wall inside the prison cell.

"Ancestor, please manifest your spirit."

With snot and tears, plus Li Dongdong's fat, he turned the entire prison cell into a large-scale pig-slaughtering scene.

"Very interesting."

Li Xianzhi almost laughed out loud. He had originally intended to explore the situation of the abyss ancient road, but he didn't expect such a harvest.

Li Xianzhi flashed.

Li Dongdong thought he was hallucinating; his ancestor had actually appeared.

And he walked out of the portrait step by step, looking exactly like a peerless immortal in a comic book.

"Look, the ancestor has manifested, the ancestor has manifested." Li Dongdong looked at Li Xianzhi, who had a smile on his face, and was ecstatic in his heart.

Long Zhan and Bai Wu, listening to Li Dongdong's ghost-like wailing, closed their eyes in silence. ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
