"Dao Ancestor."
Under the massive consumption of clear light, Gu Jinlai seemed to be standing at the very core, surrounded by the Three Thousand Great Daos, with the mindset of another person.
Here, he could already clearly "see" the outlines of the Three Thousand Dao Ancestors.
They were located in the deepest reaches of the universe's heart. They seemed to be maintaining the universe's basic operation, yet also seemed to be doing something else.
Because he could only see their outlines, he could not make them out clearly. He had no idea what the Three Thousand Dao Ancestors were actually doing, nor what meaning their repeated purges held.
"In the vast starry sky, the number of Immortal Golden Immortals isn't small, but neither is it especially large. There are several hundred thousand among humanity, while the other five supreme races probably number no more than a million. Add the next tier of races and individuals representing backward civilizations, and there are probably only tens of millions in total. Divided evenly among each Great Dao, there are only a little over ten thousand..."
