Five Lineages Gather at Siling Mountain, Little Ye Calls for Help, Then Calls for a Dragon

The Holy Palace had five lineages.

They were called: Divine Spirit, White Pavilion, Emberlight, Saint Guardian, and Law Convergence.

Legend had it that after heaven and earth first separated, an ancient god was born. At that time, the concepts of the "Ten Ancestors" and "Ten Gods" did not yet exist. There was only that one god, named the "Holy God."

After the Ten Ancestors were born, the Holy God naturally became the first among the Ten Gods and was conferred the title of "Holy Ancestor." Its Ancestral Source Power was named "Holy Ancestor's Power."

To commemorate the Holy Ancestor's magnificent achievements, later generations gave "Holy Ancestor's Power" different names in different eras: Holy God's Power, Holy Ancestor's Power, Ancestor God's Power, Ancestral Source Power...

How arduous was the road to becoming a god and claiming ancestorhood? Though the Great Dao was said to lead to the same destination by different paths, the different "paths" before that "destination" were perilous roads indeed.
