Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

The Universe of Ten Thousand Gods, the Hongling Continent, the Cangling Holy Land.

Deep in the ancestral abyss, the Ancestral Palace stands solemnly, like a silent guardian, witnessing the rise and fall, glory and disgrace of the Cang Ling Holy Land for countless years.

The palace is surrounded by a subtle ancient atmosphere, mysterious and profound, as if telling stories of the past that have been buried by the years.

Inside the Ancestral Palace, the tall dome was engraved with strange runes, flashing with faint light, like wonderful notes dancing in the long river of time.

A group of gods from the Cang Ling Holy Land, dressed in gorgeous clothes, had a restrained aura but faintly exuded a powerful pressure. They each sat on an exquisite throne.

At this time, they were whispering to each other, talking a lot, and everyone's face was full of confusion.

"I've been in seclusion recently, striving to reach a higher realm, and haven't heard of any major events happening in the Holy Land. Why did the Divine King Bell ring for no apparent reason? Could something have happened in the Holy Land?"

"The Divine King Bell doesn't ring randomly. Could it be that some powerful enemy wants to harm our Cang Ling Holy Land?"

"That's impossible. If a powerful enemy were to invade, there wouldn't be any news at all."

"Or is there some chance that will come to you?"

......

Just as the various God Kings were speculating, a majestic voice, as if rolling down from the nine heavens, resounded clearly throughout the entire Ancestral God Palace, "Silence, respectfully welcome the ancestors."

Suddenly, the originally noisy Ancestral God Palace became quiet, as if time had frozen at this moment. The gods all sat upright, their eyes all directed towards the entrance of the palace.

"boom......"

Brilliant divine lights, like falling stars, fell from the sky and landed outside the Ancestral Palace, from which nine people walked out.

The leader was dressed in an elegant blue robe and looked to be no more than thirty years old. His facial features were three-dimensional and sharp, as if carved by a knife, revealing an innate heroic spirit.

It was none other than the sixth generation ancestor of the Cang Ling Holy Land, the one with the highest seniority today, the God King Qing Ling. The other eight were the other eight ancestors of the Cang Ling Holy Land. They all had at least the cultivation level of a fourth-grade God King, that is, Dao Kings with more than 1,500 Daos. Two of them, like the God King Qing Ling, were fifth-grade God Kings, but their cultivation levels were not as high as the God King Qing Ling, and they had only integrated about 2,200 Daos.

"Is this... Patriarch Qingling?"

"Didn't they say that Patriarch Qingling's life span is short and there is no hope of a breakthrough?"

......

The gods of the Cangling Holy Land looked at the God King Qingling who was leading the group and couldn't help but be stunned. The Qingling Patriarch in front of them looked bright and radiant, and didn't look like a person whose life span was running out and who was about to die.

"Could it be a breakthrough?"

"Is this also the reason why the Divine King Bell was rung?"

......

Many God Kings had a flash of inspiration in their minds and thought thoughtfully. The Qingling Patriarch was the strongest person in their Cangling Holy Land. He was their white jade pillar that supported the sky and their purple gold beam that spanned the sea. His breakthrough was definitely a big deal for their Cangling Holy Land.

"Meet all the ancestors!"

As the God King Qing Ling led the team into the Ancestral God Palace, all the God Kings stood up and saluted respectfully. Their voices were in unison and loud, echoing in the Ancestral God Palace.

"Everyone, get up."

The Qingling God King nodded slightly, his expression calm, and gestured for the other God Kings to take their seats. Then, he led the eight ancestors behind him and walked with steady steps to the nine thrones in the front row of the Ancestral God Palace and slowly sat down.

Looking down from a high vantage point, he looked down at all the God Kings. This Cang Ling Holy Land was able to inherit nearly 30,000 Chaos Eras, so it had some foundation. In addition to the nine ancestors, there were 16 third-grade God Kings, 127 second-grade God Kings, and more than a thousand first-grade God Kings. These were only the God Kings gathered in the Cang Ling Holy Land. Outside the Holy Land, there were many God Kings in charge of various major branches. Their comprehensive strength was not much inferior to those second-rate forces in their Shenxiao Universe.

"Today, I summoned you all here to help my Cangling Holy Land unify the Hongling Continent."

The eyes of the Qingling God King condensed, and he said solemnly that if he was not sure enough to take down the five great gods of the Ten Thousand Gods Universe in one fell swoop, and still wanted to continue plundering the origin of the Ten Thousand Gods Universe, he could only do it slowly. After thinking for a day, Su Mo prepared to use the Cangling Holy Land as a seesaw to gradually erode the Ten Thousand Gods Universe. As long as he took over enough territory and controlled more native creatures of the Ten Thousand Gods Universe, the suppression of the universe's will on him would gradually weaken.

This is also the conventional method used by the Lord of the Universe to conquer other universes. If he can take over most of the universe, the suppression of the universe's will on him will be minimal, enough to unleash the ninth level or even more combat power.

By then, with his comprehensive combat power comparable to the peak of the four-pattern or even the master of the perfect universe, the five mere gods will be nothing to him.

However, when these words fell into the ears of the gods below, they had a different meaning. They all widened their eyes, unable to believe their ears.

Although unifying the Hongling Continent has always been the long-cherished wish of their Cangling Holy Land, this is a bit too much of a breakthrough.

Could it be that Patriarch Qing Ling has made a breakthrough in his cultivation and started to become arrogant?

It is not easy to unify the Hongling Continent.

The Hongxuan Holy Land is not just for show. In fact, its overall strength is even slightly stronger than that of the Cangling Holy Land.

Once a full-scale war breaks out, it is likely to be a lose-lose situation, and in the end, the other party will only benefit.

If they are not careful, their Cang Ling Holy Land will be in danger of destruction.

Don’t look at the other forces in Hongling Continent. They are behaving well now. Once something big happens in their Cangling Holy Land and their strength is drastically reduced, some forces will take advantage of the situation and rob them.

"Ancestor, the Hongxuan Holy Land is quite powerful. Please think twice." After hesitating for a moment, the current Holy Lord of the Cangling Holy Land, the Purple-Winged God King, who was in the center of the second row, spoke with a stiff upper lip.

The other Divine Kings also stood up and echoed, "Ancestor, the Holy Lord is absolutely right. The Hongxuan Holy Land has a strong foundation. This matter still requires long-term consideration."

"Ancestor, we don't have much advantage against the Hongxuan Holy Land. If we fight rashly, both sides will suffer losses. The consequences will be disastrous. I hope you will consider this carefully."

......

"Quiet!"

The Qingling God King shouted coldly, like a thunder explosion, and a terrifying pressure of two thousand five hundred Dao Kings rose from his body like a surging tide, covering the entire Ancestral God Palace.

Instantly, the Ancestral God Palace fell silent. Purple-feathered God King and other God Kings from the Cangling Holy Land stared blankly at Qingling God King, their eyes filled with disbelief. They stammered, "Ancestor, you... you've broken through to the sixth... sixth-rank God King?"

The terrifying pressure made them feel as if they were facing a sixth-grade God King. However, as far as they knew, before Patriarch Qing Ling went into seclusion, he had only integrated 2,368 great ways, which meant he was still a long way from the peak of the fifth-grade God King realm. How could it be possible for him to break through to the sixth-grade God King realm in just less than thirty Chaos Epochs?

"Yes, I have successfully broken through to the realm of the sixth-grade God King." God King Qing Ling nodded slightly, with a glimmer of confidence in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Purple Feathered God King and the others finally believed this fact, and instantly, they were all overjoyed.

"Do you still have any objections now?"

The Qingling God King glanced at everyone again and asked in a deep voice.

"Disciple will follow the instructions of the ancestor."

Everyone said in unison that since Patriarch Qing Ling had successfully broken through to the sixth-grade Divine King, they still had nothing to worry about. The cultivation strength of Patriarch Hong Yuan in the Hong Xuan Holy Land was not much stronger than that of Patriarch Qing Ling thirty Chaos epochs ago. Even with the advantage of terrain, he would never be a match for Patriarch Qing Ling. They would definitely win this battle.

"Go down and prepare. Ten years from now, we will march towards Hongxuan Holy Land."

"Follow the master's instructions!"

......

Spring goes and autumn comes, and in the blink of an eye, eight years have passed.

Jiuyuan Universe, Yanyuan Realm.

The Flame God Palace stands tall and majestic, like a divine city forged from flames.

In the palace, the Lord of the Flame Abyss, wearing a fiery red scale armor, with a pair of red bull horns on his head and his whole body surrounded by demonic flames, was sitting on the throne of fire.

"Good old Shengyuan! Fortunately, I discovered it in time. If he had really obtained that magical power, my Jiuyuan Universe would have to respect their Shengyuan Realm from now on."
