The term "Great Lord" is also known as "Monarch," a respectful title used by ancient King Level demons to address their superiors.
Venerable are beings beyond the King Level, possessing great supernatural powers. They are truly immortal demons because they have Fusion with a certain rule of this world, thus enabling them to live as long as this world itself.
Of course, this is just a statement, but Lord Ziyue raised objections when she was researching these things.
If the Venerable can unite with the laws of heaven and earth, why would he need to hide? This doesn't make sense.
"That woman's guess was correct."
In the darkness where only the two of them could see each other, the Dragon King transformed into a man dressed in black and sat opposite him. The two were in an extremely strange state, and even Shen Lao'er couldn't tell whether he was in a physical body or a spirit body talking to the other.
I've never heard of the Dragon King having such abilities.
"A normal Great Venerable wouldn't need to hide outside the heavens, because they are already Fusion with something in this world and only need to slumber within it, while still being able to observe it at any time. But things are different now."
"What's the difference?" Shen Lao'er asked hurriedly.
"They are outsiders!" The Dragon King sneered. "Existences rejected by this world. They replaced the former Venerable and Fusion certain rules of this world, yet they are rejected by it. They dare not slumber in this world when spiritual energy is low, fearing that the World Will will manipulate things so that they will never wake up!"
"Such a thing really happened?"
Shen Er thought for a moment and said, "You are very familiar with the Venerable, aren't you? What kind of being is he exactly?"
" The Venerable is a completely different realm, having transcended the so-called human race and demons. They are beings Fusion with the Dao, not your pseudo-gods, but true gods who have mastered certain rules!"
"Master the rules?" Shen Er narrowed his eyes.
"For example, according to my Dragon Palace records, there are two Venerable in the powerful Buddha Kingdom. One is named Bodhi, who controls all dreams. He is a powerful Venerable One who can turn dreams into reality. The three thousand Buddha of the Buddha Kingdom have been able to remain safe until now because they are protected by the three thousand dreams of the Great Buddha Zhunti. Within those dreams lies a world that is almost like reality, capable of protecting all living beings!"
"Such a divine power exists?" Shen Er exclaimed in disbelief. He had heard of the " Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" divine power, which allowed one to create a world's origin with a flick of the wrist, but that was only a simulation. A world truly capable of containing Buddha Level... a dream?
This is completely beyond the scope of any technique.
The Buddha is King Level, and a top -King Level one at that. For such a being to survive in a dream world—is such a miracle even possible?
"And the other one?"
"Another one is named Amitabha Buddha, whose supernatural powers are unknown. These ancient Venerable prefer to conceal their Dao Seed information to prevent being restrained by others, and very little information is revealed. However, it is certain that some fundamental Dao principles that shake the world have not been stolen, such as space, time, life and death, and Samsara!"
"Life and death, Samsara." Shen Er's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, an immense desire surged within him. The divine essence within his body seemed to crave this thing. In that instant, he understood the path he would take in the future.
I see
After becoming Underworld, although he lived a fulfilling life, he was still somewhat lost, unsure of which direction to take.
In that instant, with those words, the fog in my mind cleared, and it was as if a faint path had appeared before my eyes!
The Samsara of life and death, the supreme principle of the Great Dao!
"Don't even think about it," the Dragon King sneered. These Great Dao Seed are something that many Venerable would risk everything to seize. For beings like us, being able to glimpse even a few seeds of minor Daos is already an immense stroke of luck.
"Is that so?" Shen Er nodded. "What you said is true, senior. You just said that woman was a fallen Venerable?"
"Yes, that woman is a defeated Venerable!"
"A defeated Venerable... can he still live?"
"They are different!" the Dragon King said coldly. "No matter how many times they die, they can always come back to life. I don't know why. Even though our world strongly rejects them, we can't stop them from entering the Samsara, and no one can control the great Dao of life and Samsara."
"I wonder which way that woman was going?"
"I don't know"
"Don't know?" Shen Er curled his lip. They hadn't even figured out the other person's background, yet they were planning to scheme against them?
"That person was one of the Venerable who failed in their struggle against the Heavenly Palace and the Buddha Kingdom. According to the memories passed down from my grandfather, that group consisted of two factions that had been locked in a life-or-death struggle since the beginning of this world. In the end, all of them perished and entered the Samsara, but the Dao Seed of many of them were not stripped away, so there are still some people who possess the Dao Seed!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Er's heart skipped a beat again. Wasn't that like the flesh of Tang Sanzang?
"This woman is one of them. She Samsara countless times, and in this life, she took the initiative to find the Dragon Palace. Although she doesn't remember the Dragon Palace, I can remember her through my grandfather's memories!"
Shen Er looked at the other party and sighed inwardly that the demon race was stronger than the human race for a reason. The demons could even pass on their memories through bloodlines, while the human race could only rely on records. If they were not careful, the inheritance could be broken. This alone made it difficult for them to compete.
"Then why didn't you win her over back then?"
"How do we take her down?" The Dragon King rolled his eyes. "When she arrived, we were all asleep. The Ancient Insect were about to invade, and if we weren't careful, we would all be wiped out. Of course, we couldn't turn against her. At that time, we wanted to both take her down and rely on her to defend against the Ancient Insect."
"I see." Shen Er nodded. "Then, didn't I hear she died? And that her descendants have been guarding the Ancient Insect ever since?"
"Offspring?" the Dragon King laughed. "You may not know, but their kind is very special. Unless they mate with their own kind, they will never have offspring. But coincidentally, she unintentionally mated with one of the Reincarnator had lost his memory, and they had offspring."
"Their descendants?" Shen Er took a breath. "How are they any different from ordinary people?"
"I don't see much difference. If I had to say, it's that his aptitude far surpasses that of ordinary people, especially his aptitude for spell techniques. Don't you feel that?"
"I?"
"Her surname is Shen, and yours is Shen too. Don't you have any doubts?"
"You mean she is?" Shen Er's pupils widened suddenly.
"You could say that," the Dragon King said coldly, "That she is your ancestor!"
"But why isn't it recorded in the family genealogy?"
"The so-called Formation Spirit Clan is a fabrication. The Formation Spirit is merely someone who uses the properties of arrays to forcibly lock the spirits of certain people, then brainwashes them with indoctrination, making those people obey for generations. But in reality, her only descendants are your Shen Family."
Shen Er remained silent for a long time after hearing this, his expression extremely complicated.
"But don't think she's being kind to you because of this. On the contrary, she's returned this time to reclaim the origin of the Great Dao and to collect the bloodlines!"
"What did you say?"
