Vol 17 Chapter 8 (1/2)

Book 17, Indigo Prefecture – Chapter 8, The Secrets of the Ancestral Baptism!

Asking about his strength?

Linley looked at Baruch After a momentary pause, he said, “I am a God!”

A look of surprise appeared on Baruch’s face, and then he ihed in praise, “Linley, you, a God, were able to effortlessly defeat that Asru This is simply inconceivable How did you accomplish this?”

Linley, for a moment, didn’t kno to reply

The reason why he, a God, was so powerful actually had many components

“Oh” Baruch seemed to have realized that he had asked a question that he shouldn’t have asked He laughed, “Enough about that Since you are so forhGod, you will definitely becoon clan Since that’s the case, there are sos which I will tell you in advance”

Linley listened intently

“These affairs, our Azure Dragon clan generally won’t tell sohed

Linley couldn’t help but feel puzzled “Weak people? But the clan leader himself is just a God How does he know?” As Linley said it, in the Four Divine Beasts clan, the Baruch clan was indeed a very weak, small clan

Baruch just continued “Linley, do you kno resplendent and glorious our Four Divine Beasts clan was in the past?”

“I know” Linley nodded “I read a book introducing the Four Divine Beasts clan In the past, the power of the Four Divine Beasts clan spread across all Four Higher Planes and h ten thousand years ago, all of our clan’s forces withdrew frorouped here in the Infernal Realm”

“Right”

Baruch sighed “Our Four Divine Beasts clan’s poas spread across the Four Higher Planes But do you knohy our clan was so powerful to begin with?”

Linley shook his head

Linley was puzzled about this as well Why were they so hty?

“Let me tell you The reason our Four Divine Beasts clan was, in the past, so strong, was because…” Baruch’s eyes shone, and his breathing becaed as well His face also turned red from excitement “The ancestors of our Four Divine Beasts clan were four Sovereigns!!!”

“What?!” Linley felt completely stunned

“Clan leader, what did you just say? Sovereigns? Did I mishear?” Linley said hurriedly

Sovereigns were far above all other life foraze down at froatory Con, were like ants With but a thought, a Sovereign could kill an Asura

The ancestors of his clan were Sovereigns?

The ancestors of the Four Divine Beasts clan were four Sovereigns?

“Right! You heard correctly!” Baruch said solemnly “The ancestors of our Four Divine Beasts clan were four Sovereigns The four roup, and the descendants of their Four Divine Beasts clan, which they raised, were naturally powerful to begin with When they were present, the assistance the four ancestors provided allowed their clan to dominate the major planes with utter invincibility!”

Linley felt as though his mind was in a state of chaos

Sovereign? And four of them?

It must be understood that the seven eleht, and darkness, each only had seven Sovereigns! The Sovereigns were scattered throughout the various Divine Planes and Four Higher Planes And, for creatures as proud as them, it was very hard for alliances to form

But four Sovereigns had joined forces It would be a strange thing if the Four Divine Beasts clan wasn’t hty!

Most likely, the other Sovereigns also wouldn’t be willing to offend these four Sovereigns without a good reason

“The ancestor of our Azure Dragon clan was a water-type Sovereign The ancestor of the White Tiger clan was a wind-type Sovereign, while the ancestor of the Vern As for the Black Tortoise clan’s ancestor, that was an earth-type Sovereign!” Baruch said solemnly

Linley’s

Sovereigns were so far above them, and yet behind the Four Divine Beasts clan, there had been four Sovereigns!

It would be impossible for the Four Divine Beasts clan to be weak, even if they wanted to be

“If that was still the case, our Four Divine Beasts clan would still be invincible throughout the various planes! But all of this changed, roughly eleven thousand years ago!” Baruch said

Linley also knew that roughly ten thousand years ago, a tree happened to the Four Divine Beasts clan What type of change, exactly, had caused his clan to fall?

For all four of the Sovereign’s clans to simultaneously weaken…there was,the Four Divine Beasts clan had been destroyed! As he thought of this possibility, Linley found it to be unbelievable “Who could possibly defeat four ns? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

Although he thought this, he still looked at Baruch, waiting for Baruch’s answer!

“The four ancestors are all dead!” Baruch said hoarsely

Linley couldn’t help but stop breathing

So that really was the case!

“Four Sovereigns…all died? How is that possible?” Linley said hurriedly To kill a Sovereign, one had to at least be at the Sovereign level, but the four ancestors of the Four Divine Beasts clan represented four full Sovereigns!

Who could kill four Sovereigns?

“They did indeed perish” Baruch said helplessly “Although we don’t know the reason for their death, there is no question about the fact that the four ancestors are dead! And precisely because the four ancestors are dead, our Four Divine Beasts clan’s moment of crisis arrived!”

“Crisis?” Linley frowned

“Right” Baruch furrowed his forehead in worry “The four ancestors were all on very good terns, had existed for countless years, causing the Four Divine Beasts clan and its ”

Linley nodded to hins as ancestors, how could the Four Divine Beasts clan not be arrogant!

“Wherever there are people, there are struggles Because of their arrogance, because of their power! In the past, when the Four Divine Beasts clan struggled against other clans, the Four Divine Beasts clan would naturally be rather overbearing” Baruch said

Linley understood

“After countless years, naturally there would often be battle and struggles The Four Divine Beasts clan had a number of enemies, but the Four Divine Beasts clan never cared, because they were so powerful, they didn’t fear their enemies!”

Baruch shook his head “But then, the four ancestors died!”

Baruch looked towards Linley “The clans which dared struggle against the Four Divine Beasts clan, even if they eaker, wouldn’t be too much weaker”

Linley nodded in acknowledgment

“Those clans, in their own planes, were all very formidable But compared to the Four Divine Beasts clan, there was still quite some difference After all, behind the Four Divine Beasts clan were four Sovereigns But once the four Sovereigns died…”

Baruch shook his head and sighed
