Your Talent is Mine - Chapter 846: The Opportunity to Become a Dao Ancestor

TL: Etude

“The Ancestral Stele is an incredibly precious treasure even within chaos. Not just me, but even those at the Grand Dao Realm desire to obtain it. However, the Ancestral Stele isn’t something that can be obtained by an individual. It remains in the place where it was born, and no one can take it away. Even Dao Ancestors at the Harmony Realm cannot take it,” murmured True Monarch Hidden God.

“I don’t understand!” True Monarch Luanghai and the others shook their heads, still not fully comprehending.

“You are aware of the True Ancestors at the Grand Dao Realm and the Dao Ancestors at the Harmony Realm, correct?” asked True Monarch Hidden God.

“Of course, we know!” True Monarch Luanghai and the others showed expressions of envy and longing.

“Although True Ancestors are rare within chaos, their numbers aren’t insignificant. However, Dao Ancestors at the Harmony Realm are exceedingly few. Some heaven-defying True Ancestors, whose combat strength is sufficient to kill weaker Dao Ancestors, still cannot become Dao Ancestors. The reason is that they cannot achieve Harmony. Without Harmony, they cannot become Dao Ancestors.

Harmony involves perfectly merging a self-consolidated Dao with oneself. This step is extremely difficult. If relying solely on oneself, it is impossible to achieve, but it can be done with the help of one thing: the Ancestral Stele!”

“What? The Ancestral Stele can enable a Grand Dao Realm expert to become a Dao Ancestor?” True Monarch Luanghai’s expression changed dramatically, revealing looks of incredulity.

They finally realized the importance of the Ancestral Stele, recognizing it as an opportunity that could incite a great deal of conflict.

“Doesn’t that mean a group of True Ancestor experts will soon arrive here?” True Monarch Luanghai asked worriedly.

“No, that won’t happen,” True Monarch Hidden God shook his head. “Even if Grand Dao experts paid a heavy price, they might enter some universes, but the universe where the Ancestral Stele is located cannot be entered, even by Dao Ancestors. The Ancestral Stele strengthens the rules of the universe, and one must follow its rules to enter.”

“If True Ancestors can’t enter, how can they use the Ancestral Stele to become Dao Ancestors?” The True Monarchs were immensely curious.

“You know that a Grand Universe can accommodate Destiny Realm experts,” True Monarch Hidden God said. “And when a Grand Universe further evolves, it becomes a Dao World. Any universe that births an Ancestral Stele has the potential to become a Dao World. A Dao World can allow True Ancestors to enter. Once a Dao World is born, numerous True Ancestors will enter, fighting to claim a spot near the Ancestral Stele.

It’s rumored that an Ancestral Stele ultimately allows only nine Dao Ancestors to emerge. Nowadays, the Ancestral Steles within chaos are extremely few and kept in utmost secrecy. Even I don’t know how many there are, but the value of an Ancestral Stele is so high that even Dao Ancestors would fight over it. After all, Dao Ancestors have True Ancestor disciples.”

“So, does this mean the Eternal Universe and the Cangyu Universe, this dual universe, will now certainly become a Grand Universe?” True Monarch Luanghai asked.

“No,” True Monarch Hidden God explained. “The probability of a dual universe becoming a Grand Universe remains very small. If the fusion of the dual universe fails, both universes will vanish, and the Ancestral Stele will likely disappear as well. However, since the Ancestral Stele has appeared, those True Ancestors will not allow an Ancestral Stele to disappear. They will do everything in their power to ensure the dual universe fuses into a Grand Universe.

Once it becomes a Grand Universe, it will be stable and free from the risk of destruction. Elevating it to a Dao World would not be difficult, though it would require a long time. True Ancestors have unlimited lifespans, so they are not afraid to wait.”

“In that case, this situation is advantageous for our Hidden God Organization. At least our disciples won’t perish due to the failure of the dual universe fusion!” True Monarch Luanghai said with relief.

“Naive!” True Monarch Hidden God said coldly, “Don’t forget, if a Grand Universe is born, the Divine Generals and even Destiny Realm experts within chaos can enter it. We won’t have any advantage. If we can’t transcend the dual universe before it becomes a Grand Universe, we won’t be able to leave. Do you think those useless ones can transcend a Grand Universe? What a joke.”

They naturally did not believe these individuals could transcend a Grand Universe. Those who could transcend a Grand Universe were definitely among the top-tier geniuses within chaos. As long as they didn’t fall prematurely, they would inevitably become peak Grand Dao Realm experts, second only to Dao Ancestors.

“Inform them, at all costs, they must transcend the dual universe. If they cannot transcend, they will be forever trapped within the Grand Universe. After that, they’ll have to find a way to survive. Our Hidden God Organization can’t send Destiny Realm experts in. Otherwise, I have no way to extract a Destiny Realm Heavenly Monarch from a Grand Universe!” True Monarch Hidden God said.

“We’ll find a way to inform them,” True Monarch Luanghai responded.

Subsequently, the Hidden God Organization communicated the situation to the members of the Zang Shen Hall within the dual universe and began relocating their forces. Because this area would inevitably be occupied by many factions, survival in the gaps between these factions would be too difficult for the Hidden God Organization. A single misstep could lead to their annihilation, and they dared not stay.

However, True Monarch Hidden God still reported the situation to his never-seen master, Dao Ancestor Jiu Tian.

…

In the chaos realm, the Qilin Palace.

Qilin True Lord was in seclusion, cultivating in the Qilin Palace. Though he was merely a True Ancestor at the early Grand Dao Realm, he held a considerable reputation within chaos and possessed considerable talent with room for improvement.

Suddenly, his expression changed to one of great joy.

He received a message from the Qilin Hall in a certain universe, delivered by a fragment of his conscious avatar. Originally, he didn’t care much about this Qilin Hall, but the latest message made him ecstatic.

“The Ancestral Stele has appeared!”

As a Grand Dao expert, he naturally understood the significance of the Ancestral Stele’s appearance. The quotas for Ancestral Steles within chaos had long been exhausted. Some terrifyingly powerful True Ancestors had waited for countless ages without becoming Dao Ancestors, still waiting for new Ancestral Steles to appear.

Though his strength was modest, he also yearned for an Ancestral Stele. What if he could luckily become a Harmony Realm realm Dao Ancestor? According to his understanding, it wasn’t just strength that allowed one to become a Dao Ancestor but also a certain opportunity and luck. Moreover, the stronger one was, the harder it was to become a Dao Ancestor. The Ancestral Stele merely provided hope.

In chaos, some overly powerful True Ancestors couldn’t become Dao Ancestors, while some weaker True Ancestors managed to become Dao Ancestors by luck. Qilin True Lord believed that, though he was weak, he still had hope of becoming a Dao Ancestor.

“It seems like it’s the universe where that Dao Ancestor took disciples before. What a coincidence that the Ancestral Stele was born in that universe. It won’t be long before numerous True Ancestors and even Dao Ancestors focus their attention there,” Qilin True Lord murmured.

He wasn’t in a hurry to go to that universe. After all, it was still an ordinary universe, not even a Grand Universe, so he couldn’t enter it. Only once the universe became a Dao World would he go there, but that process would take a long time.

“First, I need to make arrangements. Let my few incompetent disciples go there and make preparations,” Qilin True Lord planned.

Immediately, he sent messages to his disciples at the peak of the True Spirit Realm, instructing them to head to the dual universe formed by the Eternal Universe and the Cangyu Universe.

At the same time, many Grand Dao experts across space became aware of the dual universe’s existence and the presence of the Ancestral Stele. For a moment, the Eternal Universe and the Cangyu Universe drew the attention of countless great beings within chaos.
