"Chi chi chi!"
Within the stone coffin, bolts of lightning wreaked havoc on Du Shaofu's body, flashing with terrifying might and radiance.
Above his body, the jade colored Immortal Grass was no longer affected by the Thunder Power anymore. Instead, it became increasingly bright and translucent, tender and alluring, as it released a misty luster.
Vast amounts of vitality still poured into Du Shaofu's body.
As the lightning on Du Shaofu's body continued to gather, waves of electricity crazily flowed in his body.
The numerous tiny electric bolts intertwined with each other and condensed into a bunch of thick and solid lightning, quickly shuttling through Du Shaofu's meridians, scouring his body time and time again.
Gradually, this reformed body began to grow stronger. After being refined and baptized by the Thunder Power, the muscles and bones had become abnormally tough.
When the thick and solid bolt of lightning passed through the one hundred and eight great circulations of Du Shaofu's body, it finally concealed itself and the light slowly dimmed, quietly lying in wait.
If Du Shaofu had a consciousness at this time, he only needed to activate it slightly, and the lightning that concealed him, could immediately burst forth with an incomparably terrifying might.
This, was the remodelled Thunderbolt Martial Bloodlines!
Along with the passage of time, on the second day, everything slowly calmed down. Within the Ancestral Shrine of Du Family, all the lightning radiance within the stone coffin disappeared, as they returned back into Du Shaofu's body from the surface of his body.
Furthermore, the Immortal Grass finally dimmed down and dispersed into nothingness.
The boundless life force that it emitted also left only a blurry afterimage, but it also quickly spread towards the world around it.
Only in Du Shaofu's mind, balls of lightning still continued to flash, releasing blazing light.
It could be said that Du Shaofu's current physical body had already reached its peak state. As long as he woke up, he would be able to immediately display all of his cultivation.
But after all, his soul had not returned, and what was currently lying in the stone coffin s was only a shell without a consciousness.
Without the guidance of his soul, such a body could not be displayed, no matter how powerful it was.
This was exactly why the other experts of the Barren Kingdom were worried before this.
However, what Zhen Qingchun said was right, they were just worrying about nothing.
With an existence like the Lord of the Three Thousand Worlds and the Dragon God watching over him, there shouldn't be any loopholes.
In fact, everything was exactly as they had expected.
Because Du Shaofu's consciousness had always existed, it was just that the way it existed was very special.
The feelings of Du Tingxuan, Zhen Qingchun, Du Xiaoyao, Little Star and the others earlier weren't wrong; Du Shaofu's primordial spirit had indeed dissipated completely long ago.
In a situation where the origin of igniting laws and the Primordial Spirit Power competed head on against the Devil God, including his consciousness, there was no way he could possibly survive.
However, no one knew that in a particular region of space, there was still a trace of a weak consciousness reviving, awakening, and returning.
hmm hmm hmm *
In this strange space, this faint consciousness emitted extremely minute fluctuations. It was many times weaker than an ant crawling around.
This wisp of consciousness had been in a muddled state the entire time. It didn't even have the slightest notion of who it was, what it was, where it came from, or where it had gone.
It could not sense its own body and could not know what kind of existence it was.
The only thing he could feel in that tiny bit of consciousness was that it was spinning non-stop.
whoosh *
Suddenly, a faint light shot over and shone on this wisp of consciousness. However, it was as if it was the bright sun, causing "it" to feel a sharp pain.
"So painful, close your eyes!"
This wisp of consciousness emitted a bit of fluctuations, expressing the feelings it had at that moment.
It was after the pain came that "it" subconsciously wanted to close its eyes, but realized that its eyes did not seem to exist at all.
"What are eyes?"
As "it" gradually adapted to the "intense light", it could not help but have new questions.
Soon after, more questions popped up one by one.
"Why can't I move?"
"Where is my body?"
"What is the body?"
"What am I?"
"Where is this place?"
"Who am I?"
As more and more questions gathered in his mind, this faint wisp of consciousness continued to fluctuate.
"Ah! My head hurts!"
Under the countless doubts and doubts, it seemed as if this wisp of consciousness was about to explode.
With this "it" 's small size, it was simply unable to withstand this "limitless" stream of consciousness. It could collapse and disappear into the world at any time due to the increasing accumulation of doubts.
Countless questions, endless confusion, endless pain.
However, just when it could not take it anymore, a warm feeling suddenly flowed into its body. It was like a clear spring had seeped into its heart as it continued to nourish this weak consciousness, slowly making it grow stronger.
Soon after, a tyrannical figure walked out from the surrounding void. It was like a deity from the heaven and earth as it stood beside this weak consciousness.
"It's time for the descendants of my Du Family to wake up!"
The domineering man spoke softly, an indescribable majesty emitting from between his brows.
He stood tall and imposing, as if the entire space existed because of him.
"A descendant of the Du Family? What is the descendant of the Du Family? "
The faint consciousness was puzzled again, but this time, because of the endless warmth that enveloped it, it was no longer unbearable to think like this.
On the contrary, "it" gradually adapted to it and began to ponder this "abstruse" question.
As he continued to ponder, this wisp of consciousness slowly recalled many things.
"I am a descendant of Du Family!"
"Yes, I am Du Shaofu!"
"Didn't I die together with the Devil God?"
"I'm actually still alive?"
"What is this place?"
"Could it be the Nether Samsara?"
Finally, 'it' found out its identity and quickly recalled everything.
He was Du Shaofu. In order to stop the Devil God from killing him, he burned the origin of his laws and the Primordial Spirit Power, and fought against them with his life on the line.
In the end, he knew that the Devil God had exhausted all of his life force and he himself could only die a miserable death.
However, for the sake of his loved ones, his loved ones, his friends, and his people being able to live a peaceful life, he was willing to die!
However, why did he appear in such a space, and why was there someone talking to him?
Thinking to this point, Du Shaofu couldn't help but look forward.
There was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man standing there. He looked like a mighty god.
His body was imprinted in the void, appearing to be one with Heaven and Earth.
Seeing such a figure, Du Shaofu could not help but "open his mouth". After a while, he released a wave of divine soul fluctuations, "Ancestor!"
That's right, that grand and tall figure who was one with heaven and earth was precisely the ancestor of his Du Family who had once merged with a Heavenly Dao.
"You're finally awake!"
The ancestor took a step forward. His angular face had a pair of bright and spirited eyes that looked at Du Shaofu, but within his majesty, there was a hidden trace of love.
"The descendant of Du Family greets first."
Seeing this, Du Shaofu was preparing to kneel down and pay his respects to the ancestor.
However, he suddenly realized that he didn't have a body at all, and only a strand of his consciousness remained.
"This …"
Saluting was impossible, and Du Shaofu himself was stunned for a long time.
He was still alive, but his physical body was gone.
Moreover, he could clearly feel that what he had now was not the primordial spirit state at all, but merely a remnant of a soul.
If that was the case, it would not be much different from death.
"Little guy, there's no need to bow. You're still not in a good condition right now, so you should recover as soon as possible. There are still a lot of people waiting for you outside."
The ancestor said kindly to Du Shaofu with a slight smile on his lips.
"Ancestor, isn't this junior already dead? How could it be?"
Du Shaofu was a little puzzled and asked. He had clearly already turned into ashes, but why was he still left with a trace of consciousness?
"From your soul, I understand what you have experienced. You are indeed dead, but there is still hope for your revival. "
The ancestor looked at Du Shaofu and said softly.
Then, seeing that Du Shaofu had stopped talking, he continued, "Since you want to know, then I'll tell you! This space is the place you have been to before, the place where I was buried back then. "
"Could it be that the burial ground of our ancestor is a Tomb of Heaven Dao?"
Du Shaofu instantly understood that the burial ground of the ancestor was precisely the deepest part of the Buried Heavens Death Ground in the Ancient Barren Continent back then.
Later on, there, he had returned to the upper reaches of the river of time and witnessed everything that happened during the archaic era.
It was at that time that he found out about the identity of the ancestor and the origin of the Du Family and Thunderbolt Martial Bloodlines.
"Hmm, Tomb of Heaven Dao, this name sounds quite fitting."
The ancestor nodded, smiled, and said: "You have been here before, and have seen the illusion I left behind, to let you stay in the Devil Cult Tribulation, it is just like a personal experience."
"So it's just an illusion. Isn't that the power of time?"
Du Shaofu was suspicious. His experience at that time was like returning to the ancient time, everything was so realistic and did not seem like it was an illusion at all.
He had always thought that he had truly returned to the past, that he had experienced all of the massacres and resistance.
"You're right. I've fused with the Heavenly Dao of this world, so naturally, I can use some formless laws to affect time." However, to you, you are not truly back at the Primordial Era, so you cannot participate. Thus, in the end, it was still an illusion. No one had the energy to truly change the flow of time, even as a Heavenly Dao. Unless …
After hearing the ancestor's explanation, Du Shaofu immediately came to his senses.
In the end, that experience really did allow him to return to the ancient time. It was real, but he could only be a spectator and could not interfere with what happened at that time.
It would be more accurate to call it an illusion.
Understanding was one thing, but the ancestor's last words made Du Shaofu interested, he anxiously asked: Unless what?
"Kid, you're really impatient!"
The Ancestor laughed and cursed, then said, "When one's cultivation reaches a certain level and has comprehended the laws of time, it can indeed change a part of the time. However, this is only a normal technique and cannot be used on a large scale. Otherwise, the natural order of the world will go into chaos, no one knows what will happen. "
"The Law of Time, so that's how it is!"
Du Shaofu focused and couldn't help but think of his Wild Ancient Space.
He didn't know who left that space there, but it could actually speed up time by dozens of times. It was truly mysterious.
Presumably, the person who refined the Wild Ancient Space had an unfathomable cultivation, and their attainments in time were incomparably profound.
Hearing the ancestor's words, Du Shaofu had a feeling that the ancestor seemed to have intentionally hidden something regarding this "unless", and wasn't willing to tell him.
"Although I have fused with the Heavenly Dao and can use the power of formless laws, I still need to follow the order of the world. I can only let you take a look back and know what happened, so that you won't be able to truly affect the entire world. It was also because of the method I left behind in the Tomb of Heaven Dao that I was able to accomplish all of this. Furthermore, your appearance here today is also my doing. "
The ancestor turned his body to the side, as if to move the entire space around him.
"Ancestor, junior understands!"
Du Shaofu wanted to nod his head, but there was no existence of a body, so he could not do it. He thought for a bit, then continued: "When this junior entered the Tomb of Heaven Dao, my ancestor must have used some method to leave a trace of my soul here. Even if I were to perish together with the Devil God, there would still be hope for revival. "
"Indeed, it's very smart. You can do it with just one point! However, the truth is slightly different from what you think it is. The first time you came here, I left a technique on you. However, the moment before you fell, that technique was activated to capture a strand of your soul here. "
The ancestor looked at Du Shaofu with a smile, his imposing face had a look of joy, his gaze filled with praise.
What Du Shaofu had said was not far from the truth.
"So that's how it is!"
Du Shaofu slowly nodded his head. He couldn't help but feel extremely shocked by his ancestor's methods.
How many people in the world were able to create such a terrifying divine ability?
However, thinking about it in the blink of an eye, his ancestor merged with the Heavenly Dao and was able to manipulate the world's formless laws. It was understandable that he had arranged all of this in advance.
In fact, this would be a better way to explain why the ancestors knew what happened to him.
"But ancestor, my body might have already died long ago. If I wanted to reconstruct it …"
Du Shaofu immediately followed up, although he did not finish his words, his meaning was already extremely obvious.
"I've already made preparations for this, but whether it will work or not, I can't say for sure!"
The ancestor slightly nodded as he spoke.
"Could it be that ancestor has made arrangements regarding this matter as well?"
Du Shaofu's "eyes lit up," and in an instant, he was filled with hope.
For the sake of his loved ones and friends, as well as the countless lives in the world, he was willing to die.
When he thought of the chance to reunite with so many people, he couldn't help but get excited.
Father, Mother, Sister, Xiaoyao, Little Star, Xiaohuang,, Little Ba, Male Witch, Sima Muhan, Dongli Qingqing, Ye Piao Ling, Xiao Qing, Jialou Jueyu, Master
One figure after another passed by Du Shaofu's consciousness, endless longing surging in his heart.
"When I was carving the Thunderbolt Martial Bloodlines for the later generation of Du Family, I had also left some Blood Essence within that stone coffin. I think that stone coffin is still well-preserved, otherwise, it would be impossible for you to open the Thunderbolt Martial Bloodlines. "
The ancestor looked at Du Shaofu and said.
"stone coffin!"
Du Shaofu was shocked, and thought, "As expected!"
Ever since he knew about the origins of the Thunderbolt Martial Bloodlines and the identity of its ancestors, he had guessed that the stone coffin that was stored within the Ancestral Shrine was related to its ancestor inextricably.
When he was young, his father would often carry him to bed. When he first woke up, he was still covered in cold sweat, and when he talked about this with his elders, he even received a "warning" not allowing him to be disrespectful to his ancestors because of his greed.
Afterwards, Du Shaofu slowly got used to occasionally waking up from the stone coffin, and stopped bringing up this matter to anyone.
The activation of the Thunderbolt Martial Bloodlines on his body definitely played a huge role.
Now that he heard from his ancestor that he had left some Blood Essence inside, it was no wonder that they would be of such great help to him.
"That's right. With the help of that stone coffin, you should be able to successfully recreate your body. However, if we want to regain our vitality, there should be a bit of a problem. "
The ancestor opened his mouth as he spoke.
Actually, not only was reproducing life force more troublesome, more importantly, there were people in the Du Family who knew how to use the stone coffin s and extract them, so that Du Shaofu could reconstruct his body.
Otherwise, everything would just be empty talk.
"No matter what, I have to go back and give it a try. I believe the drunkard's father and the others should be able to think of this, right?"
Du Shaofu deeply sighed, feeling extremely shocked and admiration for his ancestor's "brilliant plan." He did not expect that he had already thought of these things when he was still in the Primordial Era, and had left behind a series of backup plans.
However, even though he said this, his heart was beating like a drum.
Everyone knew that a person could not be revived if he were to die. If the drunkard's father and the others saw that his life force was gone, they would not hold any hope and would bury his remaining head. That would truly be bad.
"Of course, you have to go back to take a look. If you leave your last strand of consciousness here, it will eventually dissipate one day as well. And now that I'm dead, I have to save a thread of consciousness to tell you everything. After you leave, if your soul returns to your body, then everything will be fine. Otherwise, the only way would be to die.
The ancestor looked at Du Shaofu and said word by word.
He was isolated within this space, and the instant before Du Shaofu fell, a strand of his soul was seized here. No one knew what happened after that, and no one was able to ascertain the condition of his physical body.
"I possess the Immortal Profound Body refined by the Purple Gold Divine Thunder, so it is likely that even if I were to be buried, I will still be perfectly preserved and won't rot away for a short period of time. However, even if this strand of the soul returns to its original position, if it is unable to mobilize its own power, it will still be met with a great deal of trouble. "
Du Shaofu could not help but grumble, his head hurt, and he was a little worried.
You are the most outstanding descendant of my Du Family. If you can be reborn, I can finally rest in peace. "
The ancestor let out a long sigh and said with emotion.
Back then, he had merged with the Heavenly Dao and grasped this world's natural order and rules, which was restricted by the laws of this world.
Rather than calling it fair and selfless, it would be better to call it heartless.
Although he possessed the ability to transcend the heavens, he could not contribute even a little to the descendants of Du Family.
Until he finally decided to suppress the Devil God, only then did he use his supreme divine ability to engrave the Thunderbolt Martial Bloodlines into his Du Family bloodline, which could also be considered as making up for the debt in his heart.
"Ancestor, if I can revive, you should be able to do the same!"
Du Shaofu suddenly shouted with excitement.
He had absolute respect for his ancestor, and for the sake of all the living, he gave up on his heartless body. He was willing to be erased by the formless laws and suppress the Devil God.
In reality, there was no need for him to do this. No matter how desperate the great calamity, the Heavenly Dao was still the same Heavenly Dao.
With the existence of the Heavenly Dao, this world would never truly become a part of the Devil Domain, and new life forms would inevitably be born.
The Heavenly Dao was still supreme.
Therefore, Du Shaofu hoped that his ancestor would have the same opportunity to revive as him.
If this happened, not only him, everyone in the Du Family would probably be overjoyed.
However, the ancestor looked at Du Shaofu and said smilingly: "My body has been destroyed and my primordial spirit has been completely destroyed. You must know that the method you left behind before I fell is not something that will happen in the future. Since I'm here, I can only answer your questions. Before long, I will also dissipate. "
"Doesn't that mean that the ancestor is truly going to fall?"
Du Shaofu could not help but feel sorrowful. Initially, it was fine for him to not hold any expectations, but after he had some expectations, he suddenly faced despair. This kind of emotion, was a kind of heavy reality that was hard to accept.
"Haha, don't be sad little fellow. I had already seen through it when I was trying to suppress the Devil God. Life and death is just a dream. Now, it's time for you to go back! "
The ancestor began to laugh loudly, and then with a wave of his sleeve, it seemed as if some hidden technique was triggered, causing the entire space to tremble.
At the same time, Du Shaofu's soul was wrapped in a ball of light, and quickly rushed out of the space. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the Ancestral Shrine of Du Family, and entered the body of the stone coffin.
