They were absorbing the information.
This knowledge had not been passed through speech or contact—it had simply manifested from the heavens and merged into their souls. The content included everything about the Myriad Realms' fusion, the Eternal Night World, and even the current circumstances of the Eternal World, including the long-standing conflicts among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans.
All of it naturally unfolded within their minds.
During this process, the scene at Mount Buzhou was no longer confined to one place—it was now reflected across the heavens, visible to every corner of the Eternal World.
Wherever you were, just by looking up, you could see it.
Even in the God-Demon Battlefield, the image had appeared.
Countless prodigies raised their heads toward the sky.
"That's the Ancestral Dragon! The legendary progenitor of the Dragon Clan.Wasn't it said that he perished with the Phoenix and Qilin Ancestors during the Dragon-Han Calamity?They're actually summoning their souls—do they plan to revive the Three Great Progenitors?"
"My gods… Each of the Three Ancestors was a peak-level powerhouse.Rumor has it they reached the pinnacle of the Dao Proving Realm , and some say they had already touched the Primordial Realm (混元境) [Hunyuan] by the end of the last Era.If they return, and with their overwhelming bloodline, they could grow rapidly and dominate again."
"To summon the Ancestors' souls from the last Era—this act alone defies heaven!But if it works… it's absolutely worth the cost in Clan Fate."
Reviving the Ancestral Bloodlines meant immeasurable benefits for future generations:
Stronger bloodline potential,
Lost inheritances restored,
And the possibility of surpassing the Ancestors themselves.
If even one among them reaches the Primordial Realm, that clan would once again rise to become a hegemon of the world.
"So it's true… In the last Era, they waged war beyond the heavens, against the Eternal Night World.This time, how could my Dragon Clan fall behind?"
Perhaps it was a brief moment—or maybe an eternity—but the Ancestral Dragon finally opened his eyes.
All the information had been thoroughly absorbed and refined.
His eyes burned with majesty—and battlelust.
He turned to the Phoenix and Qilin Ancestors and declared:
"Phoenix Ancestor, Qilin Ancestor—the true enemy is the Eternal Night, not one another.Our infighting is meaningless.Let's take the battle to the Eternal Night and settle our differences there!"
With his immense wisdom and power, the Ancestral Dragon instantly grasped the situation of the current Era.
Waging war against Eternal Night could yield great fate, immense opportunities, and even the potential to break past the Proving Dao Realm.
"You old mud eel, you think we're afraid of you?When have we Phoenixes ever shrunk from a war against invaders?"
The Phoenix Ancestor lifted her chin proudly and retorted.
"The new Era is here—how could we Qilins fall behind?"The Qilin Ancestor burst into hearty laughter.
"Good!"The Ancestral Dragon laughed in agreement.
These three were once deadly enemies—and yet, perhaps also the only ones who truly understood each other.
Enemies can be allies when the right cause emerges.
Now, with a greater enemy threatening the world, the Three Ancestors stood united for the first time.
They trusted one another.
They shared the same ambition.
That mattered more than old grudges.
"Heavenly Dao above,I, the Ancestral Dragon, Progenitor of the Dragon Clan,having been granted Heaven's favor and returned to the Eternal World—shall not forget this grace.
As the Eternal Night invades,I offer the full strength of my clan.We shall march upon the God-Demon Battlefield—and wage an eternal war beyond the heavens.Let Heaven bear witness!"
His solemn ritual vow echoed across the entire world.
"We follow our Ancestor—eternal war beyond the heavens!"Ao Sihai immediately dropped to one knee, shouting reverently.
"We follow our Ancestor—eternal war beyond the heavens!!"The entire Dragon Clan followed, voices rising like a tide.
Their cries were filled with fiery determination.
These years of war among the Three Clans were not merely about power struggles.
First, they fought for the right to be the central protagonists of this Era.To lead the Eternal World into war against Eternal Night.
Second, to purge the Heaven-born disaster energy (劫煞) accumulating across the world.
Disaster Qi (劫煞) is not benign.It originates from both Eternal Night and the will of all living things.
Only through blood and war can it be dissipated.If left unchecked, its consequences would be far worse than any Three Clan conflict.
BOOM!!
From the heavens, black clouds of tribulation gathered.Once again, the Golden Eye of the Heavenly Dao appeared.
It stared coldly at the Ancestral Dragon—but then, with no warning, a brilliant beam of golden light descended from the heavens,covering the entire altar.
"The Divine Light of Creation (造化神光)!!"
Countless mighty figures gasped, recognizing it.
But none dared interfere.
The Divine Light of Creation came from Heaven itself—meant for the Ancestral Dragon alone.
The Ancestral Dragon made no attempt to avoid it.He stood firm, letting the divine radiance bathe his entire soul.
Within that light, a transformation began.
The Ancestral Dragon Scale—the very relic used to summon him—melted under the divine light.
It condensed into a single drop of blood—his true origin blood.
Then, infused with the power of creation, it grew rapidly.
It transformed into a massive dragon egg, swirling with chaotic mist.
The Ancestral Dragon's spirit didn't hesitate—he dove into it.
Originally, restoring a corporeal body after returning as a soul would've taken vast resources, immense effort, and most importantly—time.
But now, Heaven itself had rebuilt his body,using the scale he left behind in the previous Era.
It was identical to his original form—his true body—the perfect foundation for rebirth.
Within a few breaths, the dragon egg cracked.Fragments scattered—
and out emerged a nine-clawed divine dragon, covered in chaotic-colored scales.
At first, it was only three zhang long.But under the Divine Light, it rapidly expanded—like a balloon being inflated.
In an instant, it reached thousands of zhang.
Only then did it stop growing—Heaven's favor was not infinite.From here onward, he would grow through his own efforts.
Even so, the newly reborn Ancestral Dragon now radiated an aura not far off from the Dao Platform Realm,and with his foundation, reaching Dao Proving Realm again would be quick.
This was just a rebirth—not a reset.
SWISH!!
The void split open—a massive orb glowing with chaotic light descended.
Within, countless holes shimmered—like stars in a miniature world.
"That's the Chaos Dragon Nest (混沌龙巢)!"
The Ancestral Dragon's eyes sparkled.It was a world treasure, an evolving artifact of endless potential.
Once refined, it could become:
a war fortress,
a sanctuary for the clan,
or a source of bloodline evolution.
It was nothing short of a mobile ancestral homeland.
"All Dragon Clan, hear me!Leave a force behind to defend the Eternal World.All others—migrate to the Chaos Dragon Nest.
From now on, our descendants who reach the True Spirit Realm shall enter the Nest and return to the ancestral land!"
With that, the Ancestral Dragon dove into the Dragon Nest himself.
The Dragon Clan was ecstatic.
With their Ancestor revived, and the Dragon Nest in hand,their future was bright.
"Quick! Retrieve our clan's treasures from the oceans.Transfer them to the Dragon Nest—it's our new foundation!"
"Don't forget the Dragon Blood Tree I've cultivated—its benefits are immeasurable for future generations!"
One by one, Dragon Clan experts set off in haste.
Seeing this, the Phoenix and Qilin Ancestors couldn't sit still.
"Heavenly Dao above,I, the Phoenix Ancestor, Progenitor of the Phoenix Clan,having received Heaven's favor and returned to the Eternal World…for the sake of eternity, I vow—eternal war beyond the heavens!Let Heaven bear witness!!"
"Heavenly Dao above,I, the Qilin Ancestor, Progenitor of the Qilin Clan,likewise return for the sake of eternity…eternal war beyond the heavens!Let Heaven bear witness!!"
The two Ancestors shouted their oaths to the heavens.
This had been decided long ago.
They would not turn back.
To sit on the battlefield meant:
growth through war,
fate through combat,
and eternal survival through contribution.
SWISH! SWISH!
As they completed their vows,two more beams of Divine Light of Creation fell from the sky,enveloping the Phoenix and Qilin Ancestors.
