Chapter 1564 Chapter 1564: My Master

Long Chen stopped, his expressions turning solemn. "The knowledge that was shared with the Demonic Ancestor... It didn't belong to the First Ancestral God who remained free. Instead, it belonged to the Second Ancestral God who was sealed?!"

"The First Ancestral God didn't teach his own knowledge to outsiders! Instead, he shared the knowledge of the other? Is that why I couldn't accept it? It wasn't compatible with my bloodline?!"

"Am I right?" Long Chen asked, looking at the endless darkness in the distance.

Although no response came, Long Chen could feel his surroundings getting brighter.

Previously, he couldn't feel anything, but now he could feel the ground underneath him.

As the surroundings turned brighter, he found himself standing on the ground. High in the sky, there was a blood red sun.

He found this entire place awfully familiar.

"This is... My Inner World?!" he exclaimed, as he turned around to confirm his suspicions.

As soon as he turned around, he was able to see what was talking to him. In the distance, he saw his Martial Soul that had always remained silently inside him.

His Martial Soul looked identical to him, yet at the same time it looked different. The Martial Soul had an identical face.

It also had Six Wings coming from its back. The three on one side looked pitch black and demonic while the three on the other side looked stark white and holy.

"What... are you?" Long Chen asked the Martial Soul which was still standing in the majestic Armor, its eyes closed.

In one of its hands, there was a sword from which Long Chen could feel a chill coming. On his right hand, the Martial Spirit had a beautiful Lotus, filled with the aura of life.

"Were you the one talking to me?" Long Chen asked his Martial Spirit. However, he didn't get any answer.

He stepped towards the Martial Spirit, frowning. He didn't understand how he was still alive. If he was in his inner world, he should've been able to go out or feel the outside world. And if he was dead in the outside world, then his inner world should've been destroyed as well!

Long Chen reached out his hand to touch his Martial Spirit, but just as his fingers were about to make contact, the Martial Spirit suddenly opened its eyes.

Its eyes were a mesmerizing combination of both darkness and light, swirling with an intense power. Long Chen could feel an overwhelming presence emanating from his Martial Spirit, causing him to take a step back in awe.

"You have finally realized your origin," the Martial Spirit spoke, its voice carrying a weight that seemed to resonate deep within Long Chen's soul. Long Chen

Long Chen frowned. "So I was right. You were the one speaking to me in that darkness! Who... No, what are you? A Martial Spirit shouldn't be able to speak or grow to the extent you did!"

Long Chen's mind raced as he tried to process this information, without even waiting for an answer. "So, the knowledge that I couldn't accept earlier... Was it because of you?"

The Martial Spirit spoke again, "That's correct."

"So you're the reason I failed and had fo kill myself?!" Long Chen asked, his lips twitching in frustration.

He looked down at his own hands, not knowing what to think anymore. It was his own Martial Spirit that screwed him over.

"Are you happy now that I'm dead?" Long Chen asked, his expressions dark. "For you, that inheritance was beneath me! But for me, that was my last chance! And you..."

He didn't even know how to process it all.

"The one, who my bloodline belongs to, didn't give me any inheritance. And he stops me from accepting from other sources as well?!"

He felt like killing the First Ancestral God if he was here. Unfortunately, no one knew where he had gone. Unfortunately, he was dead and unable to do anything.

The Martial Spirit looked at Long Chen, his eyes still emotionless. After some time, it raised its hands.

Before Long Chen could react, he felt the Martial Spirit's hand on his head. He felt like stepping back, but he couldn't even move as he looked at the Spirit in disbelief.

"If you want to blame anyone, blame yourself for these rules..." the Martial Spirit spoke as Long Chen felt his vision getting blurry. "My Master..."

His hearing also went weak. However he did feel like he heard the Martial Spirit say something.

In that moment, Long Chen felt a myriad of memories flooding his brain, memories from the forgotten era that he couldn't even recall having lived.

In the memories, he saw nothing. In the universe, there was nothing at the beginning. However, in the next moment, he felt as if he was created from the unnatural forces of the cosmos.

He wasn't alone either as far from him, another being came into life in a similar way.

At the start, there were only these two. Strangely enough, Long Chen felt that he had seen the second being in the past.

However, in the following memories, he saw himself getting close to that other being.

The two of them felt lonely, and slowly, they came to know more about themselves. To remove their loneliness, they started creating lives. The two of them created the universe... They also created Heaven and the Demonic Realm and many more life forms.

While the other god created the Rainbow Phoenix as a companion, Long Chen created the Ancient Myriad Beast.

These creations brought diversity and beauty to the universe, making it flourish with vibrant colors and life. The two gods created a balance in the realms, and their presence brought peace and unity among the different life forms that inhabited them.

However, as time went on, different opinions started arising between the two gods. The difference reached a point where the Second Ancestral God created his own species without the agreement of the First Ancestral God, a special that was mortal and destined to die after a certain lifespan. It was the humans.
