Chapter 1187: Chapter 1186: A Scorpion

"He actually possesses a Dao Seed!"

"He has Virtue Dew!"

"I see that in the Virtue Dew there is a mysterious power, this boy is not simple at all!"

At this moment, the Tree Spirit, Bird Man, and Abigail Dodson were secretly communicating. To possess a Dao Seed was in itself to seize the good fortune of heaven and earth, let alone having Virtue Dew—that was truly extraordinary!

"Do you think he could possibly receive the master’s inheritance?" Abigail Dodson queried.

"There’s a chance, but it’s slim, mainly because his Cultivation Realm is too low!" The Tree Spirit sighed, "I do hope he can receive the master’s inheritance."

"If I didn’t want him to get the master’s inheritance, why would I help him? To let him pass the trial?" The Bird Man laughed.

"So many years have passed, and finally, someone like this has come," the Tree Spirit sighed deeply. "Now, we’ll see how far he can go."

"But he only meets two of the conditions, he’s still missing one, right?" Abigail added.

"Yes, there’s still one condition missing," the Tree Spirit nodded.

"By the way, that black-clad, masked figure must be his avatar, right? Quite odd!" said the Bird Man.

"Indeed, quite odd," Abigail and the Tree Spirit nodded in agreement.

"Many people have arrived from the outside, but none possess a Dao Seed, and they must be the descendants of the Heavenly Realm!"

"Hmph, these people’s greed knows no bounds. You two must not hold back!"

"Understood."

The three seemed to view the gods of the Heavenly Realm with disdain, so after their remarks, they fell silent.

Thirty-six mysterious experts entered the world of green mountains and clear waters of the first layer. They were cautious, carefully avoiding touching the surrounding flowers and plants or any insects crawling on the ground.

They didn’t move quickly, although they were heading towards the Firmiana trees, they did so in a roundabout way, searching as they went.

This was the first layer of the Main God Palace, naturally filled with countless heavenly and earthly treasures.

"I’ve heard that within this first layer, there’s a Magic Treasure forged by the Main God that has yet to be found, hidden somewhere," said the woman who was the leader of the group.

"Sister Berger is right. According to the rumors, the first, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth layers each contain Magic Treasures forged by the Main God—a single piece in the first layer, three in the third, five in the fifth, seven in the seventh, and nine in the ninth, each piece as powerful as the heavens themselves. Sadly, no one has found any to this day!"

"Sister Berger, Brother Arellano, I’ve always been unclear about something—who exactly is this ’Main God?’ What does it mean?" someone asked in confusion.

The one called Sister Berger was the woman leader; her surname was Berger, named Nadia Berger. Rumors said she came from the Berger family, a direct line of the Heavenly Realm.

And the Berger family was one of the Eight Great Families of the Heavenly Realm.

The one called Brother Arellano was only second to Nadia Berger, but also a scion of the Arellano Family, one of the Eight Great Families of the Heavenly Realm; this person was Matthias Arellano.

Hearing someone ask them about the Main God, Matthias Arellano laughed and said, "Let Sister Berger explain this. You all know she is well-read in the histories, versed in the past and current, known among us in the Heavenly Realm as the ’Scholar’; thus, Sister Berger knows best."

"It’s nothing much," Nadia Berger said with a faint smile, "The ’Main God’ mentioned in relation to the Main God Palace refers to a tribal leader from the era when the Origin of the Gods began. Everyone in his tribe addressed him as ’Main,’ thus he became their Main God. And during the origin of the gods, there were eight great tribes in all—this is but one of them!"

"Does that mean there were eight Main Gods?" The people were astonished upon hearing Nadia Berger’s words.

"Yes, there were indeed eight Great Main Gods," Nadia Berger nodded.

"The Main God should have been the most powerful in that era, right?" someone else asked.

"Indeed, the Main God was the strongest, followed by those offering sacrifices," Nadia Berger said with a smile. "But even the mightiest life comes to an end, so the ancient gods died, or perhaps vanished into thin air. The world split into countless planes, and eventually, the Eight Great Clans of the Heavenly Realm emerged, commanding the Heavenly Dao, commanding everything."

"Above the Main God, is there anyone even stronger?" someone raised another question.

"That’s also why we’re exploring this place. There are many things in this world we don’t understand. Why does the Heavenly Realm have a God’s Altar? Who created it? Where did the ancient gods learn their Divine Skills? If you say they realized them on their own, I certainly don’t buy it—it’s as if they were just a group of uncivilized primitives!"

"Moreover, why did the ancient gods die? Why did they disappear? These are all enigmas that await our unraveling!"

"To put it plainly, we, the Eight Great Families of the Heavenly Realm, took possession of this world and are the newcomers. Of course, we have the recognition of the Heavenly Dao; otherwise, how could we operate within it?"

"So you mean to say, the ancient gods were abandoned by the Heavenly Dao?"

"You could say that." Nadia Berger shrugged.

"Sister Berger, I’ve also heard that the first layer contains the relics of the three ancient saints, is that true?"

"Indeed, right at the entrance to the second layer. To enter the second layer, you must get past their challenges," Nadia Berger sighed. "The horror of the Main God Palace lies in the inability to use Divine Sense, to fly, and certain Divine Techniques being restricted; otherwise, the secrets here would have long been unraveled by our predecessors."

"Do you mean to say that even the Divine Kings of our Heavenly Realm would be restricted if they came here?" the crowd asked, greatly surprised.

"Precisely!" Nadia Berger said. "Even if a Divine King enters this place, they couldn’t defeat the three ancient saints, not because the saints are so powerful, but because there are too many restrictions here, making it impossible to exert oneself. On the contrary, the ancient saints can demonstrate their most powerful combat abilities and even harness the power of this place."

"After all, this was the dwelling of the ancient Main God, and we aren’t very clear about what that era was like!"

"Alright, let’s all scatter and look around. Try to collect some Divine Stones or rare treasures. If you can find a Magic Treasure on this layer, then you’ve struck it rich. But be very careful of the poisonous insects and plants on the ground, and be wary of the birds and beasts here."

"Got it, we’re off to explore!" After paying their respects to Nadia Berger, the crowd dispersed, each combing through the underbrush like mushroom pickers, incessantly poking and picking.

Meanwhile, Tyler Nash came in, followed quickly by the Thunder Emperor, Ancient Buddha of Blue Lamp, Paisley Kirk, and others.

"What a place, what a place. This is naturally a paradise, bound to have supreme treasures and rarities. I heard that the entrance to the second challenge is in the southeast jungle, by a huge phoenix tree. But you still should search this first layer first. Rumor has it there’s a Magic Treasure crafted by the Main God here. Of course, the danger level on the first layer might be small, but it’s not a place where we can just do as we please," advised the Ancient Buddha of Blue Lamp, who was quite familiar with the place. Of course, he didn’t mention certain things because there was no need to tell others about some dangers!

While he was a Buddha, he was also a wicked one!

"The bald thief sure talks a lot," some emperors rolled their eyes at the Ancient Buddha of Blue Lamp and then scattered in all directions.

However, just as one of the Demon Emperors hadn’t gone far, he suddenly felt an itch in his foot and let out a shrill scream.

"Damn it, what bit me!" When the Demon Emperor lifted his foot, he saw a short-tailed scorpion the length of a finger on the ground!

"Damn, dare to bite your ancestor?" The Demon Emperor, furious, lifted his foot and crushed the scorpion into a mess!

At this point, the Ancient Buddha of Blue Lamp’s expression changed for a moment, and the faces of the Thunder Emperor and a few other emperors who were aware of this place also turned strange.

But they said nothing, instead watching with keen interest as the Demon Emperor sensed the eyes on him and looked up weirdly at the crowd, saying, "What are you looking at, I... Uh... Pff—" before he could finish, black blood spurted from his mouth, then his body turned black rapidly, his eyes began to bleed, his flesh started to rot, and black blood oozed from every pore.

"No... no... what is this, what’s happening to me, why can’t I see..." the Demon Emperor screamed, flailing his arms wildly, attempting to force out the strangeness in his body.

Unfortunately, just a few flails later, he collapsed to the ground, and his body quickly dissolved, eventually turning into a pool of black liquid.

At that moment, everyone felt a cold chill creeping up their spines. A small scorpion could poison to death a Demon Emperor who had just received the God-given light, and the most top-notch one at that?

How terrifying is this? What kind of cursed place is this?
