I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1273 - 669: Qilin Ancestor

"They have wives and children, and family forces, with younger generations needing protection."

"This journey might lead to dying in the mortal world."

"This expedition means leaving one's homeland, not knowing when, or if, they will return."

"It is not easy to rekindle the dormant fighting spirit of Kunlun, to follow the Emperor's Master into the world."

"I have strived for more than ten years for this, slaying a large number of dissidents, gradually establishing your prestige as the Human Race Saint Master in the hearts of Kunlun people."

The Kunlun Emperor's son continued, "So today, you come to Kunlun, revered by all. Can you take Kunlun's essence, have them abandon their homes and follow you, even to their death? That requires the Saint Master's own ability."

Speaking of this, the Kunlun Emperor's son added, "Even if they are willing, would their sects, families, and forces... be willing to lose their support and watch their cornerstone leave?"

Lin Yan paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "Is this your test for me?"

The Kunlun Emperor's son said solemnly, "This is an explanation to Kunlun."

He took a deep breath and said, "I am not the father emperor, I haven't seen the Emperor's Master, and they equally haven't met him! Today, all admire, welcoming the Saint Master, largely because of the Eternal Mirror!"

The Eternal Mirror, containing the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill, is a new technique to reduce the threat of Deceit Night.

And the Eternal Mirror can serve as the source of the new technique, able to imprint more Kaiyuan Creation God Skills, passing them to this world.

The Saint Master is the source of the new technique.

Thus, they venerate the founder of the new technique!

Not the old Emperor's Master who guided the First Human Emperor to create the prosperity of the Human Clan!

"The answer the Emperor's Master seeks lies ahead."

The Kunlun Emperor's son, with a grave expression, said, "I have invited the Qilin Ancestor, waiting only for the arrival of the Emperor's Master, to give Kunlun an explanation—an explanation worthy of Kunlun's last drop of blood!"

As the voice fell, a golden light extended from the front.

This golden light emerged from the central location of Kunlun, the abode of the Qilin Ancestor.

And the golden light stretched for six thousand miles.

The entire Kunlun Ancestor Realm encompasses thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Lin Yan stepped forward, onto the staircase of golden light.

Instantly, the golden light retracted.

Lin Yan stood atop it, arriving in Kunlun's center in a flash!

Here stood rows of halls!

In Kunlun's vast realm, in the eyes of countless humans, it is the source of the ancestral realm, the supreme Holy Land!

A thunderous sound!

The Qi Mechanism of the Upper Celestial Gods covered ten directions!

A gigantic beast appeared, rising into the air.

This beast resembled a lion in body, covered in scale armor.

Its head resembled a dragon's head, its tail like a bull's.

Its four hooves tread in the air, surrounded by auspicious clouds.

"Greetings, Qilin Ancestor!"

To the ten directions, all humans saw the silhouette of a Qilin above the sky dome and fell to their knees.

Lin Yan stood in front of the Qilin Ancestor; in comparison to its massive form, he seemed as small as a speck of dust.

"Do you know the origin of my being, Emperor's Master?"

The Qilin Ancestor's voice rang like a great bell, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

Lin Yan opened his Heavenly Eye in awe and said, "An Upper Celestial God, not formed by the Human Clan's incense and intention?"

The Ancient Cyan Dragon Ancestor from Upper Heaven was originally the Divine Body of Emperor Canglong. The Primordial Spirit fragments of the Cyan God Emperor dispersed within, occupied by the leader of the Green Emperor Clan.

Ultimately, Lin Yan scattered the Green Emperor's Primordial Spirit using the incense of the Human Clan, extinguishing the Green Emperor leader's old intentions and replacing them with the intention of human guardianship, completely transforming it into the Guardian God of the Human Clan.

However, the Qilin Ancestor is a genuine Qilin... neither its physical form nor its Primordial Spirit have changed, bearing no traces of possession nor theft of the physical form.

"You..."

In the next moment, Lin Yan's expression shifted slightly, "I have sensed traces of you in the past!"

"It seems the Emperor's Master has not forgotten me."

The Qilin Ancestor, with a complex look, slowly said, "In the past, you stormed into the Netherworld, fought Yin Tianzi, saving us..."

In the ancient era, when catastrophe descended, the Netherworld, land of death, became a refuge.

Gods, including the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch, sought refuge in the Netherworld.

Unbeknownst, Yin Tianzi's ambition burned bright, attempting to refine all gods to become the sole Heavenly Emperor of posterity.

The gods, trapped within reincarnation, were refinanced for years, almost a spent force.

Until Lin Yan infiltrated the Netherworld, battled Yin Tianzi, seized control of the Netherworld, triggering the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation.

"In the past, you used the Thunder Tribulation to grievously wound Yin Tianzi; the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch used the Cosmic Light Primordial Dragon Ball for him to endure 129,600 cycles of tribulation..."

The Qilin Ancestor said, "We were freed from reincarnation, and resurrected."

He looked at Lin Yan, and said, "Because I was the reincarnated Qilin, later cultivating back to my self, restoring my peak."

Lin Yan suddenly understood and nodded.

No wonder the Qilin Ancestor's Primordial Spirit remained as a Heavenly God's.

Originally, his essence wasn't of the Human Clan.

Thus his return to the Qilin Divine Body wasn't a theft, but a return to his true form.

"In the past in reincarnation, I owed a favor to the Emperor's Master, and now the cycles of causality are complete."

The Qilin Ancestor said, "Kai Ming Divine Emperor knew my origin, using the essence of a dynasty, countless incense, maintaining... finally invoking Great Luck, employing Ancient Immortal Power, helping me achieve the Cave Heaven."

He continued, "Therefore, I promised Kai Ming Divine Emperor to use the Cave Heaven Ancestor Realm to protect the Human Clan here until the Emperor's Master's return, satisfying the cycle, repaying your favor."

Lin Yan remained silent.

Meanwhile, everywhere was restless among the Human Clan.

The Qilin Ancestor's words hinted at leaving the Cave Heaven, abandoning the Kunlun Ancestor Realm?

In that moment, countless humans felt sheer dread.

With the Emperor's Master coming, they would have no home.

If so, the Emperor's Master shouldn't be welcomed into Kunlun!

Yet at this moment, many called out loudly.

"Apparently, our Kunlun Ancestor Realm is due to the favor of the Emperor's Master, enabling the creation of the Qilin Ancestor."

"Without the Emperor's Master, the Qilin Ancestor couldn't have been freed, naturally no Kunlun Ancestor Realm would exist now."

"For generations, all of us have received great favor from the Emperor's Master."

"May the Emperor's Master live long!"

These voices reached Lin Yan's ears.

And in Lin Yan's heart, he suddenly understood.

It was the Kunlun Emperor's son who had arranged for people to hide in all directions, stirring public opinion, building momentum for himself.

Although this Kunlun Emperor's son seemed to hold complex feelings, perhaps not too welcoming, he ultimately helped Lin Yan conquer the Kunlun Ancestor Realm.

"The Emperor's Master's great favor is now repaid."

The Qilin Ancestor spoke, "I will now leave, is there anything else the Emperor's Master wishes?"

"Please, Ancestor, maintain Kunlun, protect the Human Clan here."

Lin Yan bowed respectfully, sincerely saying, "The new technique is complete, the world undergoes great changes, all gods revive, external Human Clan faces turmoil, troubling is the situation... if the Qilin Ancestor leaves, Kunlun will be exposed to the world, suffering the agony of Deceit Night, enduring endless hardship!"

"..."

The Qilin Ancestor paused, responded, "All gods revive, I remain trapped, unable to emerge in the future."

"Deceit Night still exists, how can the Qilin Ancestor enter the world safely?"

Lin Yan spoke again, "If the Ancestor maintains the Kunlun Ancestor Realm, it can be sustained for another hundred years!"

The Qilin Ancestor asked once more, "After a hundred years, what then?"

His tone turned severe, "After a hundred years, the tumult may be beyond my ability to sustain the Kunlun Ancestor Realm!"

"I vow to settle the world's disorder within a hundred years!"

Lin Yan declared loudly, "Please, Ancestor, ensure stability for a hundred years, I will suppress the world as of now!"
