The Monarch is also known as a Monarch, an appellation used by King-level Demons in ancient times to show reverence to their superiors.

The Venerable Ones surpass the Monarch level, possessing great Divine Skills and are truly immortal beings, for they have merged with certain cosmic rules, allowing them to share longevity with the world itself.

Of course, this is merely hearsay, but Lady Ziyue has raised objections while studying it.

If a Venerable One can meld with the cosmic rules, why would they need to hide? It doesn’t make sense...

"That woman’s speculation is not wrong..."

In this moment, only the two of them can see each other in the dark. The Dragon King, transformed into a man dressed in black, sits opposite. Their current state is exceedingly strange; even Second Elder Shen cannot clarify whether it is their body or spiritual body that is speaking with the other.

I’ve never heard that the Dragon King had such abilities...

"A rightful Venerable One wouldn’t need to hide outside the heavens, as they are already merged with something in this world, merely requiring to slumber within it, able to observe the world anytime, but now it’s different..."

"What’s different?" Second Elder Shen hastily inquired.

"They... are outsiders!" the Dragon King said with a cold chuckle: "They are existences rejected by this world. They replaced the former Venerable Ones and merged with certain rules of this world, yet are repelled by it. They dare not slumber here when Spiritual Energy is scarce, for fear that the world’s will might meddle and prevent them from ever awakening! "

"Is that really possible?"

After pondering, Second Elder Shen asked, "You are quite familiar with the Venerable Ones, right? What exactly are they?"

"The Venerable One is a completely different realm altogether, having separated from both the Human Race and demons. It is an existence fused with the Dao, not your kind of pseudo-deity, but a true god mastering certain rules!"

"Mastering rules?" Second Elder Shen narrowed his eyes.

"For instance, as recorded in my Dragon Palace, among the powerful forces of the Buddha Kingdom, there are two Venerable Ones. One named Bodhi, governs the world’s dreams, a mighty Venerable One who can make dreams become reality.

The Buddha Kingdom’s three thousand Buddhas have survived to this day because they are protected by Grand Buddha Zhunti’s three thousand dream realms. Within those dreams, there exist worlds nearly indistinguishable from reality, capable of sheltering all beings! "

"Such Divine Skills exist?" Second Elder Shen internally exclaimed in disbelief. He had heard of creating a Buddha Kingdom within one’s hand, which is to conjure a world’s origin with a flip of the palm, but that was just a simulation.

To genuinely accommodate Buddha-level beings in a world. .. birthed from dreams?

This was beyond the scope of any Technique.

Buddhas are at the King Level, and moreover, the apex of it. Could such beings truly exist within a dreamt-up world? Could there be such miracles in the world?

"And the other one?"

"The other is named Amitabha Buddha, divine skills unknown.

These ancient Venerable Ones prefer to conceal their Dao and information to prevent being countered by others, so the information that leaks out is very scarce.

However, it is certain that there are some doctrines that shake the very foundations of the world.

.. like Space, Time, Life and Death, Reincarnation! "

"Life and Death... Reincarnation..." In an instant, Second Elder Shen felt an overwhelming desire surge within him, his divine essence seemed to yearn greatly for it, and in that moment, he understood his path forward.

So that’s how it is...

After becoming the Hell Ruler, although his life was fulfilling, he still felt some confusion. He always did not know the direction he should move towards...

Now, in this instant, with the other’s words, the fog within his heart lifted, revealing a faint path before his eyes!

The supreme path of Life and Death, Reincarnation!

"Don’t even think about it..." the Dragon King sneered. Such seeds of the great Dao are those that many Venerable Ones would fiercely fight over possession of. For beings like us, to glimpse a few minor Dao seeds is already a vast blessing.

"Is that so....." Second Elder Shen nodded: "Predecessor speaks the truth, did Predecessor just say, that woman was a Venerable One who had perished before?"

"Yes... That woman is a fallen Venerable One!"

"A fallen Venerable One... can still live?"

"They are different!" the Dragon King said coldly: "No matter how many times they die, they can live. I don’t know why, our world is extremely hostile towards them, but still cannot prevent them from entering Reincarnation, and that great Path of Life and Death can never be controlled by anyone."

"I wonder which path that woman... follows?"

"Not sure..."

"Not sure?" Second Elder Shen curled the corner of his mouth, you don’t even know what path she follows, yet you plan to scheme against her?

"That person was one of the Venerable Ones who failed in the struggle against the Heavenly Palace and Buddha Kingdom.

In the beginning... based on the memories inherited from my grandfather, that group of individuals had two factions, from the dawn of this world, they were in a state of irreconcilable enmity.

In the end, that entire group perished, falling into the cycle of reincarnation, but within them, many had their paths unstripped, thus some individuals bearing the seeds of the path still existed! "

Upon hearing this, Second Elder Shen’s heart skipped a beat again; wasn’t this like possessing the same existence as the treasured meat of Monk Tang?

"This woman is one of them; she has reincarnated countless times, and in this life, she actively sought out the Dragon Palace. Although she does not remember the Dragon Palace, I can remember her through my grandfather’s memories!"

Second Elder Shen, looking at the other party, inwardly sighed that the demon clan was more powerful than the Human Race for innate reasons; their memories could be passed down through bloodline, while the Human Race could only rely on records.

Without careful preservation, lineage might break.

Just on this point alone, it’s hard to keep up.

"Then why didn’t you capture her back then?"

"How to capture her?" The Dragon King rolled his eyes: "When she arrived, we were all in a state of slumber, and the Ancient Worm was about to invade. A slight mishap and we’d all be doomed, of course, we couldn’t afford to turn our backs.

At that time, we wanted to capture her but also relied on her to resist the Ancient Worm. "

"I see...." Second Elder Shen nodded: "But later on, didn’t I hear that she died? Her descendants have been guarding against the Ancient Worm ever since?"

"Her descendants, huh..." The Dragon King smiled: "You may not know, their kind of existence is very special; unless bred with their kind, they surely won’t have descendants, but as it happened, she unintentionally mated with a Reincarnator who had lost his memory, and had offspring."

"Their offspring?" Second Elder Shen inhaled sharply: "What’s the difference between them and ordinary people?"

"I haven’t seen too much difference; if I really had to say, it would be that their aptitudes far surpass ordinary people, especially in terms of Technique aptitude. Haven’t you felt this?"

"Me?"

"Her surname is Shen, your surname is also Shen, don’t you wonder..."

"You’re saying she is?" Second Elder Shen’s pupils widened dramatically.

"It can be said that way..." The Dragon King spoke coldly: "She.... is your ancestor!"

"But... why isn’t it recorded in the family genealogy?"

"The so-called Array Spirit Clan is fabricated. The Array Spirit is nothing more than her use of the special characteristics of formations, forcefully locking some people’s Spiritual Body, and then brainwashing them with negligence, making that group of people follow the rules generation after generation, but in actuality, her descendants are only in the Shen Family. "

Hearing this, Second Elder Shen was speechless for a long time, his expression immensely complicated.

"But don’t think she treated you all well; on the contrary, in order to retrieve the origin of the Path, she has returned this time..... to reclaim the bloodline!"

"What did you say?"
