Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 677 - 670: Tree Ancestor's Instructions

Dao Ruins.

Gu Sen, along with four Divine Kings of the God race, was already standing outside the Forbidden Array set up by Ding Huan.

"Divine Lord, this Forbidden Array seems somewhat familiar," said Divine King Kaiyi in a somber tone.

The other Divine Kings all looked toward Gu Sen.

Gu Sen's expression was somewhat uneasy.

"It's not just somewhat familiar; it was actually set up by one person..."

Gu Sen paused; this Forbidden Array indeed looked as if it were arranged by the same person who arranged the Protecting Array of the Great Star Desolate Vein.

But on second thought, it didn't seem very likely.

The Great Star Desolate Vein's Protecting Array was a level seven Divine Array, with methods far more sophisticated than this one here.

This is only a level three Divine Array, both in grade and Daoist Rhythm, several levels lower than that level seven Divine Array.

If someone could elevate their Array Dao to this level in such a short time, not to mention Gu Sen, no one would believe it.

Even if the cultivator who arranged the Killing Array at the Great Star Desolate Vein casually set up this Protecting Array, it would still be much more advanced than this.

"Break through this Protecting Array first." With that, Gu Sen punched forward.

The rest of the Divine Kings didn't need to act, as Gu Sen's punch tore through the Protecting Array instantly.

This revealed the ground, scarred and battered.

Gu Sen rushed in, stopping at the edge of a pit, reaching out to pick up a piece of wooden debris.

"It's the Tree Ancestor, without a doubt." Gu Sen's voice trembled slightly as he clutched the piece of wood.

This scrap carried the aura of the Tree Ancestor, and he could sense it.

The Tree Ancestor was indeed trapped here.

Not only was Gu Sen excited,

but the other four Divine Kings brought by Gu Sen were equally thrilled.

With news of the Tree Ancestor, it meant the God race would soon control this side of the universe again, becoming the sole race of this boundary.

In the past, the Divine World belonged to the God race; what did the Human Tribe count for?

Because of the God race, the Divine World existed, and so did the term Divine.

The Human Tribe was merely a latecomer.

With news of the Tree Ancestor, the group's pace quickened.

Soon, they stopped at the outer perimeter of a stone courtyard, which was pitch black inside, impenetrable by Divine Will.

"I've heard of this place; it's said that thousands of the Human Tribe once entered, and only a few dozen escaped."

A Divine King behind Gu Sen spoke with some trepidation in his tone.

Among those who entered from the Human Tribe, there were two Divine Kings.

One Divine King was from the God race, but he did not wish to be involved with the God race, being a solitary Divine King.

Gu Sen snorted coldly, "If our God race's Tree Ancestor is here, it's only right that the Human Tribe dies in the thousands. We are descendants of the God race, what is there to fear? Follow me inside."

With that, Gu Sen was the first to step through the courtyard gate.

Upon seeing Gu Sen enter, the other Divine Kings followed suit.

As soon as they entered, they were swept away by a vortex of power, finding themselves in a vast and empty space when they landed.

Unlike when Ding Huan and his group arrived and were transported to different locations, they appeared in the same spot.

There was no Dark Attribute space either.

In front of them lay a vague and indistinct Big Array.

They could vaguely make out the scene within the Big Array.

It seemed like a giant tree was growing there, its roots exposed, covered in scars.

Gu Sen immediately confirmed that this was undoubtedly the Tree Ancestor, even though he couldn't understand why the Tree Ancestor appeared here, nor why the Tree Ancestor had an aura of Dark Law, but it did not affect his reverent kneeling.

"Gu Sen of the God race greets the Tree Ancestor."

Gu Sen knelt, and the several Divine Kings behind him quickly knelt as well, respectfully addressing the Tree Ancestor.

"Hmph!"

An icy snort echoed, hoarse and ancient: "Is this how you respond to the ancestral summoning? I've called you for so many years, why have you only come today?"

Gu Sen replied anxiously, "Because Dao Ruins is the territory of the Human Tribe, to enter Dao Ruins, we must eliminate the Human Tribe and take over here.

The Human Tribe's strength in recent years isn't much weaker than the God race's. Though we've been continually striving, it's just, it's just..."

The ancient voice spoke again, "Since you're here, I presume you've exterminated the Human Clan cultivators occupying Dao Ruins?"

Gu Sen's voice grew increasingly uneasy, "Tree Ancestor, forgive us. According to our plan, we were to completely eradicate all Human Clan cultivators in the Upper God Land.

But at the crucial moment, a Unification God Ancestor from the Human Tribe emerged. This Unification God Ancestor was very powerful, setting up a rule-based array for slaughtering Divine Clan cultivators.

This array is terrifying, distinguishing between the Human Tribe and Divine Clan cultivators, specifically slaughtering Divine Clan cultivators. Faced with such an array, we dared not fight further and sought reconciliation..."

"A Unification God Ancestor appeared from the Human Tribe?" the Tree Ancestor frowned, deep in thought, this couldn't be possible?

When this world was broken back then, it shouldn't have been possible to achieve Unification, so why has a Unification God Ancestor appeared now?

Moreover, setting up a law-based killing array specifically targeting the God race disciples, this is even more implausible.

With the Heaven and Earth Rules incomplete, how could such a law-based array be set up?

Could it be...

The Tree Ancestor suddenly became terrified.

He recalled a Great Divine Power in the world, which was the Great Gene Technique among the Three Thousand Great Paths.

The Great Gene Technique is certainly the most supreme Law of Slaughter Divine Skill.

No, it should be said that the Law of Slaughter Divine Skill is merely a branch of the Great Gene Technique.

Back in the day, the branch of the Great Gene Technique wasn't any less than the branches of the Great Causality Technique and the Great Destiny Technique.

But the universe has reincarnated countless times; even if there was a Great Gene Technique, it would have long been annihilated. How could it possibly reappear?

Seeing the Tree Ancestor lost in thought, Gu Sen thought the Tree Ancestor didn't believe his words, so he explained once again:

"Indeed, a Unification God Ancestor appeared among the Human Tribe; it was personally acknowledged by a Divine King of the Human Race. He even saw that Unification God Ancestor.

In fact, although I haven't seen this Unification God Ancestor, I have witnessed his methods. At that time, he even warned me, and that oppressive aura was unstoppable even for a Divine King.

We managed to get in this time because of a friendly agreement, plus there's a bit of apprehension toward us on their part, which barely allowed us entry."

The oppressive force and such things simply do not exist.

However, Gu Sen believed the appearance of a Unification God Ancestor among the Human Tribe wasn't a lie, so he slightly exaggerated some statements to make the Tree Ancestor believe.

"Very well."

The Tree Ancestor said two words and fell silent again.

An hour passed before the Tree Ancestor slowly spoke:

"Go out and help me find two things. First, search for Dark Attribute Divine Spirit Veins, the higher the grade, the better. Second, find Wood Attribute Divine Spirit Veins, the higher the grade, the better.

If you can find Wood Origin Crystal, or even Wood Origin Pearl, that would be best. As long as you can bring these back, leave the Human Clan Unification God Ancestor to me, I guarantee he will turn to ashes."

"Yes, rest assured, Taoist Ancestor, I will take care of this matter," Gu Sen immediately promised.

Dark Attribute Divine Spirit Veins are hard to find, almost impossible to locate.

But he is certain he can find Wood Attribute Divine Spirit Veins, because such veins are hidden within the Great Star Desolate Veins.

As for the Wood Origin Crystal, it also exists in the Great Star Desolate Veins, only that finding it might be a bit troublesome.

"Hmm, if you can't find these, then get me more Luck Stones; it's the same," the Tree Ancestor said once more.

"Disciple remembers," Gu Sen and others respectfully bowed.

"There's also an important matter, look for this person. If you find him, be sure to capture him alive and bring him here.

Because he possesses something I need, a part of my body was forcibly cut away by this person."

As the Tree Ancestor spoke, an image appeared before Gu Sen and the others.

"Tree Ancestor, is this person's cultivation strong?"

"Not strong, he's just an ant. It was merely that the circumstances were unfavorable to me at the time.

Remember, do not engage in conflict with the Human Tribe now, maintain peace with them for a few more years. Once I come out, I will annihilate the Human Tribe in one fell swoop."

"Understood."

...

Even Yuanqing didn't expect that the few Divine Kings of the God Race would really mean what they said; they left Dao Ruins after just a month.

This allowed Yuanqing to breathe a sigh of relief, and he personally went to greet them.

Gu Sen had no mood to stay in Dao Ruins Street; he needed to return immediately to find Dark Attribute Divine Spirit Veins and Wood Attribute Divine Spirit Veins, and search for Wood Origin Crystal.

Just as he was preparing to say goodbye, he saw the wanted notice for Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's wanted notice was right at the ticket purchase spot of Dao Ruins Square, too conspicuous.

There wasn't just Ding Huan's appearance; all of Ding Huan's shapes after shape shifting were posted over it.

"What crime did this Ding Huan commit?" Gu Sen exclaimed while looking at the wanted notice of Ding Huan, feeling extremely excited.

He did not expect to find the person the Tree Ancestor needed to be found so easily.

Is this the person, called Ding Huan?

The wounds on the Tree Ancestor were left by this person; as long as he captures this person and sends him to the Tree Ancestor...

"Oh, you mean him, his name is Ding Huan. He shape-shifted and came to Dao Ruins Street earlier; he and a cultivator named Mo Changcan teamed up to rob over a hundred trading buildings on Dao Ruins Street, and even killed two Divine Kings of the Dao Ruins Trade Association.

Now the entire Divine World is wanted for the two of them."

Yuanqing didn't give it much thought and casually explained; he now only wanted Gu Sen to return to the God Race as soon as possible and not make any trouble on the Human Tribe's territory.

"Ding Huan can kill a Divine King?" Gu Sen was shocked.

"No, it's only because that Divine King was severely injured."

So that's it, Gu Sen breathed a sigh of relief, showing a troubled expression.

Even if Yuanqing wanted to pretend not to know, he had no way to pretend: "Wanyan Divine King, do you have something to say?"

Gu Sen hesitated for a bit and said: "Actually, I know Ding Huan; he infiltrated my God Race and stole my God Race's secret treasures many years ago, and our God Race has been searching for this person ever since.

I have a presumptuous request; I wonder if I might request Divine King Tian Qin's assistance?"

Yuanqing knew what Gu Sen wanted to say and could only reply: "Wanyan Divine King, just speak directly. Our two races have always been harmonious and friendly, always helping and supporting each other."

"I want to find this person; I hope to get some help from Divine King Tian Qin." After Gu Sen finished speaking, he bowed, giving ample respect to Yuanqing.

Yuanqing laughed heartily: "Rest assured, as soon as we find Ding Huan's whereabouts, I will inform you immediately."

"Thank you very much." Gu Sen expressed his gratitude repeatedly before leaving.

After the Divine Kings of the God Race left, Yuanqing's expression turned gloomy: "Come with me to Li Yin Divine Valley; I am really curious to see how capable Xian Wushang is to dare to shelter Ding Huan."

If it weren't for waiting here for Gu Sen and others, he would have gone to Li Yin Divine Valley long ago; it's needless to wait until today.
