Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was the Dao Ancestor!

“What do you mean?” The Martial Progenitor did not seem surprised by the appearance of the Dao Ancestor. He was only puzzled by the Dao Ancestor’s words.

“Haven’t you always wanted to revive?” The Dao Ancestor’s expression was normal, but his gaze was even deeper as he said calmly. “If 1 tell you that he can help you revive, will you continue to kill him?”

As soon as the Dao Ancestor said that, the Martial Progenitor’s pupils suddenly constricted. He subconsciously observed Xiao Shi and turned to look at the Dao Ancestor. “Are you serious?!”

The Dao Ancestor nodded slightly. Their conversation was clearly heard by Xiao Shi. This shocked him greatly. He realized that this very likely contained the core secrets of the entire Beginner Martial Era. However, due to the lack of information, it made him a little confused.

“Revive… What did they mean? Could it be that this ninth-stage martial arts expert from the Beginner Martial Era is already dead?’ Xiao Shi was a little stunned by this. He quietly observed this ninth-stage martial arts powerhouse and realized that his condition was indeed a little strange.

However, what did the Dao Ancestor mean by saying that he could revive him?

Under Xiao Shi’s puzzled expression, the Dao Ancestor looked at him. “Show him your eyeball that is sealed with many fates.”

When Xiao Shi heard this, he took out the left eye of the prince. He handed it to the Martial Progenitor. The Martial Progenitor reached out and took it. He looked carefully. His face immediately revealed a shocked expression! “This is… the fate of the future era!!” He could tell at a glance that there were many fates sealed in the left eye of the prince.

“How is it?” The Dao Ancestor looked at the Martial Progenitor calmly.

The Martial Progenitor was shocked. “With the fate of the future era, it’s indeed enough to revive me, but… this is ultimately the fate of the future era. It’s difficult to come into direct contact with it with my body. 1 have to undergo some special treatment.” As he spoke, he looked at the Dao Ancestor expectantly. “Can you deal with these future era fates?”

The Dao Ancestor shook his head. “I’ve tried it before, and I can’t do it either, but… he can.”

When the Dao Ancestor opened the Dao Gates for Xiao Shi, although he had helped Xiao Shi extract a portion of luck from the left eye, he had already discovered that he could not specially deal with the fate of the Great Wu Empire.

After all, he was not from the Great Wu Era.

When Xiao Shi heard this, he basically understood. Although he did not know the true meaning of reviving the other party, he knew that the fate of the Great Wu Empire in his hands was extremely important to the Martial Progenitor.

“I understand!” The Martial Progenitor nodded. He looked at Xiao Shi and said solemnly, “Little brother, as long as you can help me revive, I can agree to all your requests.”

Faced with the Martial Progenitor’s request, Xiao Shi said, “Can the two of you tell me what you mean by resurrection first?” He still did not know if the resurrection they mentioned was the same as what he understood.

The Martial Progenitor and the Dao Ancestor looked at each other.

“Let me do the talking.” The Martial Progenitor immediately explained to Xiao Shi. “As someone from the future era, you should know that the current Beginner Martial Era is constantly resetting. And all of this happened because of me and the Dao Ancestor! It was the two of us who exiled the Beginner Martial Era from the Tianwu Continent to this alternate space, allowing the Beginner Martial Era to constantly be reset here.”

Xiao Shi nodded, not surprised. One of them was the Dao Ancestor who created the Dao of the world. One was the first Martial Progenitor to cultivate the Martial Dao to the limit. Only mighty figures like them could banish the Beginner Martial Era from the Tianwu Continent to an alternate space, causing the Beginner Martial Era to constantly reset.

From the looks of it, the Dao Ancestor had clearly kept his memories. He did not let his memories return to 300 years ago every time he reset.

“The reason why we kept the Beginner Martial Era reset is all to accumulate luck and revive me.” The Martial Progenitor said solemnly.

Xiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat. “So Senior set a rule that experts above the Sage Realm are not allowed to die?”

For a dynasty, the death of any existence above the Sage Realm would have an incomparably huge impact on the fate of the entire dynasty. If the Martial Progenitor did this to accumulate luck, it was naturally impossible to allow experts above the Sage Realm to die.

“That’s right.” The Martial Progenitor nodded.

“But since Senior wants to accumulate luck, why don’t you try to nurture more Sages or existences in the upper three realms? If you can nurture more experts, I believe it will increase the luck of the dynasty, right?” Xiao Shi was puzzled.

“It’s not as simple as you think.” The Dao Ancestor said at the side. “After the Martial Progenitor died, 1 had already observed the Beginner Martial Era.

“I discovered that if we allow the era to continue developing, the Beginner Martial Era will turn from prosperous to weak. These 300 years will be the last prosperous period of the Beginner Martial Era. After that, the Beginner Martial Era will begin to decline.

“Therefore, in order to accumulate luck, we have to stop the time node in these 300 years. Only then can we obtain a relatively stable fate every time we reset. As long as we keep resetting, sooner or later, we’ll be able to accumulate enough luck to revive the Martial Progenitor.”

Xiao Shi was enlightened. The Dao Ancestor was an existence that created the Dao of the world. There was most likely a Dao that could observe the future on the Dao Ancestor. From this, he could observe the future of the Beginner Martial Era. Therefore, he could only choose to reset the time node in these 300 years.

Presumably, this was the true secret of the Beginner Martial Era being constantly reset.

Everything was to revive the Martial Progenitor!

“Those of us who entered the Beginner Martial Era from the future era should be able to bring some growth to the Beginner Martial Era, right?” Xiao Shi suddenly thought of this.

“That’s right.” The Dao Ancestor nodded. “I used my external Dao to leave behind a ‘key’ that could lead to the Beginner Martial Era in the spacetime where the Tianwu Continent was originally located. It was mainly to allow future generations to come to the Beginner Martial Era and further increase the luck of the Beginner Martial Era.

“Once you future Sages become Daolords here, you can bring about a greater increase in fate for the Beginner Martial Era. That’s why 1 arranged for you to be my disciples and guide you to control the Dao.”

Now, Xiao Shi completely understood. Although the people of the future era had not joined the Wu Empire, as long as they became Daolords, they could bring growth to the luck of the Beginner Martial Era.

No wonder the Martial Progenitor was so furious. Not only did he kill all the Sages in the Xueyan Kingdom, but he also killed four half-step Daolords from the future era. This had already greatly ruined the Martial Progenitor’s plan.

If not for the fact that he had the fate of the Great Wu Empire, he would definitely die! No one could save him.

However, Xiao Shi’s greatest question now was still about the resurrection of the Martial Progenitor. “Senior, what… state are you in now?” Xiao Shi looked at the Martial Progenitor and asked in confusion.

The Martial Progenitor sighed. “What you see now is only a clone formed by a portion of my soul. My main body is already in a living dead state. However, in order to maintain the stability of the Wu Empire, I announced to the public that I was in a deep sleep. If people find out about my condition, the entire Wu Empire will definitely be in chaos.”

Xiao Shi nodded. After all, only one ninth-level martial artist could appear in an era. Once the demigods knew the Martial Progenitor’s current state, even if they did not dare to openly rebel, they would definitely have ulterior motives.

No demigod in the world could withstand the temptation of advancing to the ninth realm. A demigod’s pursuit of the ninth realm of martial arts was already an inviolable life instinct.

“With your cultivation, Martial Progenitor, why did you become a living dead?” Xiao Shi asked the biggest question in his heart..
