Shrouding the Heavens

No one argued with him; in truth, after the Ancient Times, the human race shone brightly, with ancient emperors emerging, each creating their Supreme Ancient Scripture.

Gudao Ya wasted no time; he unrolled the ancient animal hide scroll and read it aloud to everyone, leaving all in unrest.

Ancient beings are truly about to emerge!

However, the timeframe was broad, from one year to five thousand years, during which the sleeping kings would all return to the earth!

The reassurance for everyone was that the ancient beings did not intend to wage war on the human race; the letter clearly stated coexistence among all tribes, just like in ancient times.

Of course, many secrets from ancient times passed down; though coexistence among all tribes was mentioned, racial wars still inevitably occurred.

What a pity; this is not the era of a Great Emperor. If only a Great Emperor from the human race were alive, even the ancient beings, upon their emergence, would have to bow.

Many harbored such thoughts, lamenting as they understood future friction was inevitable, with potential catastrophic wars.

At the great hall entrance, the younger generation showed astonishment, foreseeing likely bloodshed in such an era; they might have to face ancient beings.

It’s foreseeable that in such a grand era, immeasurably great beings will emerge, rising to the Peak over the corpses of myriad tribes, though not necessarily belonging to the human race.

Perhaps, humans comparable to the ancient emperors may appear!

The ancient animal hide scroll’s conclusion mentioned the human race controlling too vast a territory, and with the ancient beings’ emergence, some areas would need to be ceded.

“How large a territory do you desire?”

“Around every sleeping place of the Ancient Kings, an expanse of a hundred thousand miles, all belongs to us,” Gudao Ya said.

The crowd pondered, uncertain how many ancient tribes there were; if only a few or even dozens, it would be insignificant.

After all, this land is vast; oftentimes, within a million miles, human habitation is sparse.

Upon reflection, other areas were negotiable except the Taichu Forbidden Area; its one hundred thousand miles is the Great Primordial Mine of the Sacred Lands, the place yielding the most Source in the world. Relinquishing it would be unbearably painful for the Sacred Lands.

“Are you from the Great Primordial Mine?” The Queen Mother of the West inquired.

The ancient being trembled at the words, saying, “I am merely delivering a message for the king of the Taichu Forbidden Area, unrelated to the supreme beings of the ancient mine.”

Everyone was shocked; even ancient beings feared the ancient mine, increasing the sense of terror.

Monkey once said only the Ancient Emperor and a few lords of the Royal Families could enter the ancient mine; others had no right to step inside.

“I heard there was a human race gathering in the Jade Lake, so our king sent me to deliver a message…” Gudao Ya mentioned. This message was for all human race experts.

He bore some arrogance, having the ancient royal bloodline; though not purely, it still carried the superiority of the Supreme.

However, when he inadvertently discovered the monkey, he was greatly startled; his forehead jade horn shimmered, sensing something.

“Are you… the Fighting Saint Ape?!” Gudao Ya was shocked, sensing a familiar qi mechanism.

The monkey remained exceptionally calm, sitting in meditation, showing no response.

“When the old Sacred Emperor passed away, he left a son and a younger brother; are you… the Sacred Prince?!” Gudao Ya almost knelt.

The Fighting Saint Emperor, the last ancient emperor from the Ancient Times, invincible in heaven and earth, revered by all tribes, a god worshipped by all beings.

The monkey’s lineage, when detailed, was staggering, as the sole offspring of the old Sacred Emperor, truly the Sacred Prince.

Gudao Ya pondered for a moment, then immediately bowed, “Greetings to the Sacred Prince!”

“My father has passed for over a million years; there are no ancient emperors anymore. I am merely a member of a Royal Family now,” the monkey waved it off.

“The old Sacred Emperor was unparalleled throughout the ages; his accomplishments were recognized by Creation itself. Though long passed, none will forget.” Gudao Ya held great respect for the monkey.

In the great hall, others were stunned, not expecting the monkey’s lineage to be so remarkable, inciting greater awe.
