Ancestors

The Ancestral Tree had manifested, and the Expo's preparations suddenly accelerated. Buildings in distinctly different styles from the four continents rose amid clusters of undulating branches. The achievements created and researched by the civilizations of the four continents were also displayed upon the "Heavenly Evolution Tree."

September arrived in haste. Amid ceremonial cannon fire and the thunder of fireworks, the Heavenlink Expo opened.

Cultivators came and went, and Four Auspicious Continent, as Donglai's focal point, was packed with bustling crowds.

"Senior Brother, look. This is a twin lotus cultivated in Western Continent. They say it was grown by a scholar for his beloved..."

"And, and, that Bodhi Tree over there seems to be a product of the Donglai Hall—a gift for Western Continent..."

Based on factors such as lineages, sects, and exhibit types, the halls of the four continents numbered in the thousands, large and small.

The old man moved through the crowd, yet not a single person noticed his traces.

Soon, he stood halfway up the "Ancestral Tree," quietly gazing into the distance.

Wasn't the so-called Demon Race merely something several powerful Dao-Proving divine beasts had forcibly kneaded together?

At present, the Demon Race was mostly concentrated in the avian and beastly branches. Land beasts were numerous, while flying birds were somewhat fewer. Insects, water spirits, wood essences, and stone spirits were all excluded.
