"What level of deity is the Mount Tai God?"
Xu Long asked.
" The Mount Tai God is a high-ranking deity, on the same level as the Qilin Ancestor and the Phoenix Ancestor."
"What? The Mount Tai God is just a high-ranking deity? You must be joking."
Xu Long found it hard to believe. The Mount Tai God was a supreme deity who controlled the death of Kami and humans, yet he was merely a high-ranking deity on par with the Qilin Ancestor and the Phoenix Ancestor?
"They are all mountain gods, but not all mountain gods are the same."
Huo Qubing shook his head and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
" Zhulong is also a mountain god, but can Mount Zhong and Mount Tai be the same? Do you see that sea of stars? Doesn't it look a bit like a big bell? That's Mount Zhong! Zhulong, to be precise, is not a mountain god, but a star god."
"I see. Then what are the Phoenix Ancestor and the Qilin Ancestor? How do they compare to the Kunpeng?"
" The Phoenix Ancestor was the first Phoenix born from Hundun, and the Qilin Ancestor was the first Qilin. They were unique, born as high-level deities. However, for some unknown reason, they chose to transform themselves into their own races, thus creating the Qilin and Phoenix clans of later generations. As for the Kunpeng, its strength is slightly weaker, belonging to the category of secondary deities."
Huo Qubing poured the wine and continued, "There's no need to talk about anything below the second-rate gods; they come in all sorts of strange and bizarre forms."
"What level of deity is the Dragon Ancestor? A supreme deity? Or a top-tier deity?"
Xu Long asked.
" The Dragon Ancestor is not a god, but a deity."
Huo Qubing remained silent for three full breaths before speaking, "Our China nation and the dragon race actually share the same ancestry, originating from a common ancestor. In those days, before the creation of heaven and earth, in a Hundun, a supreme deity appeared before all things, called the Ancestor. The Ancestor lamented the loneliness and lack of life in the world, so he transformed himself into a race, thus giving rise to humankind and the dragon race."
"Having inherited the power of their ancestors, both humans and dragons became extremely powerful, with the most outstanding among them even capable of challenging top-tier gods. That era belonged to humans and dragons, with countless other races groveling at their feet. However, later, the ideologies of these two supreme races clashed violently. The dragons, averse to war, fought with the human chieftain and then led their people away, their whereabouts unknown to this day. Only a few remained, staying with the humans."
"After the dragons left, the human chieftain went into seclusion. When he emerged again, he made a decision that shocked the Great Wilderness. Except for a few guardians, humanity began to eradicate the power from its bloodline, gradually degenerating from the overlords of the Great Wilderness World to an ant-like existence."
"Humans were once born with the strength of Golden Immortal, able to control the energy of heaven and earth, pluck stars from the sky and seize the moon. Powerful beings were as numerous as clouds. Later, however, they became so fragile that a mere gust of wind could kill them. If it weren't for those guardians, humanity would probably Miejue long ago."
Many powerful beings couldn't understand why humans would do such a foolish thing. But when disaster struck, they finally realized. Countless Miejue went extinct, but humans preserved their complete heritage and quickly filled the vast Great Wilderness after the end of the Primordial Era.
"In that case, the Dragon Ancestor and the Human Race Chieftain must have discovered something. That's why one decided to flee and the other decided to stay."
Xu Long muttered to himself, and quickly came up with a suitable reason.
But then again, how did Huo Qubing know all this?
"Heh, I was once a guardian of humanity, tragically perishing in that great calamity, and by sheer luck, I was reincarnated."
Huo Qubing saw the eager look in Xu Long's eyes and knew what he wanted to ask.
"Don't ask me about the Great Cataclysm of the Primordial Era. That era has completely vanished. Unless those few God Above Gods and top deities speak out, no one knows exactly what happened."
"I always thought the China people were descendants of the dragon, but I never imagined that humans and dragons actually share the same origin."
Xu Long sighed, suddenly realizing that his past life seemed rather useless.
Huo Qubing, the guardian of humanity, was able to retain some of his memories, yet I, the reincarnation of a God Above Gods, know absolutely nothing about him.
" God Above Gods, Huo Qubing said he knew God Above Gods three: Dijun, the Dragon God of Leize, Zhulong, but none of them seem to match him."
Xu Long muttered to himself, " Dijun simultaneously wields both Extreme Yin, Absolute Yang and Extreme Yang, Absolute Yin, while the Dragon God of Leize controls thunder and heavenly punishment. The Star God Zhulong, on the other hand, has a more complex combination: the four seasons, Yin and Yang, thunder, rain and dew, wind and snow..."
Xu Long pondered for a long time and realized that his power was not only incompatible with the three supreme gods, but also had nothing to do with several top gods.
Ultimately, the only explanation is that this deity may not have appeared in human records, or that the relevant records were erased.
Do you have any plans for the future?
Huo Qubing suddenly asked.
"A plan? There's no plan!"
Xu Long picked up a few slices of Naga meat with his chopsticks, dipped them in the condiment bowl, and then put them in his mouth. "When soldiers come, we'll deal with them; when water comes, we'll dam it. With the two of you here, those alien races can't cause any trouble."
"It will take at least another month to completely break those four seals. I don't need to intervene here; I believe you have the strength to withstand it."
Huo Qubing looked up towards the direction of China, "I intend to go and govern China. It is my homeland and the territory of the Great Han. I have a responsibility to protect the millions of people of the Great Han."
"Yes, go ahead if you want to. I'm fine here."
Xu Long nodded, without trying to stop him.
On the one hand, we have to rely on ourselves no matter what, and on the other hand, China does need experts.
Europe has four factions: Holy Heaven, Extreme Realm of Ice and Snow, Divine Hall of All, Purgatory Demon Tower. Each faction has experts at the Mahayana Stage.
The strongest expert on the China side was only at the Golden Core Stage, which was no match for Europe.
However, with Huo Qubing, things were different; he alone could defeat the four major powers in Europe.
Huo Qubing's birth did not attract much attention; almost everyone's attention was focused on Fengdu City.
The Red Spider Lily is extremely beneficial to Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Although its effects are somewhat weaker for those above the Nascent Soul Stage, it is still a rare treasure.
As time went by, the seals of the four major forces weakened and no longer restricted the entry and exit of Golden Core Stage.
Countless Golden Core Stage, a large number of Nascent Soul Stage, and a few Spirit Severing Stage all gathered in Fengdu City.
Fengdu City is located within the territory of China, and many alien races have a habit of killing people after arriving there.
But whenever a foreign race commits an act of misconduct, a gaping maw appears out of nowhere and swallows them whole.
As a result, those alien races became much more obedient.
They dared not kill indiscriminately anymore, nor did they dare to gather intelligence; they all slunk into Fengdu City.
