He stopped chanting the Lei sound and the thunder and lightning in the skies dispersed right away; in the outer heaven, the voice gradually faded and everything returned to normal.

Zhong Yue walked out of the Astral Door, appearing at the walls of the Vermilion Bird Gate. Getting down and opening the gate, he saw a man whose face was covered in red cloth as he walked on the star river toward the city.

Star river had always been very dangerous that even Creators refused to travel on it without proper measures. But right now, this man in red robes walked on the river as if he were walking on ground.

Before the city gate, Zhong Yue bowed and greeted respectfully, “Uncle…”

The red-robed man raised his hand, signaled Zhong Yue to drop the formalities and gradually said, “Na Mo Sa Mo Re Fo Do…”

As he spoke, abnormal phenomena emerged again. But this time, everything was much less vigorous and Zhong Yue widened his eyes at the words that the man uttered.

He did not understand a single word coming out from the man’s mouth so all he could do was explain himself, “Uncle, I know only about 300 words in the innate godly language, I’m afraid I am not capable of communicating with you in the Dao language.”

The red-robed man let out a cough after hearing this and this time, he switched to the common divine language created by the Great Sui, “There is no need for such formality, Fuxi. I know little about Dao language as well but I talked to you in Dao language simply because you were communicating with the Dao language just now. If you continue replying smoothly in the Dao language, I wouldn’t even be able to understand much.”

Zhong Yue blinked his eyes upon hearing this and the man blinked back, causing them to burst out laughing as well.

“Don’t worry, they can see me but they won’t be able to hear us. I’ve heard from Bi and An that you’ve discovered something from the prehistoric era, the dragon bones of an innate dragon god, the innate Dao bones? I rushed here right away but given my sensitive position now, I can’t reveal my true self to meet with you. Please pardon my rudeness, Fuxi.”

“My position might be quite extraordinary but I too, do not wish to be involved too much with your affairs. If it weren’t because of the significance of the innate Dao bones, I wouldn’t be willing to come here as well. Are you sure the Dao bones you found belonged to an innate dragon god?”

Zhong Yue nodded, “Yes, it’s a dragon’s bone and Dao bones at the same time. However, I couldn’t identify its origin so I requested help from uncle. By the way, I still don’t know your name, uncle. If I may have the honor?”

Underneath the red hood was a man with a dragon’s head, “I come from the Leizhe Celestial Race, my name is Chuo Long. I live in monarch planet Han Shan. I have nine sons with Bi and An being the fourth son and Suan Ni being the fifth. I suppose you’ve met each other.”

“Indeed, this way please, uncle!” replied Zhong Yue with a smile.

“Do you mind not calling me uncle please, with you being the only male in your clan, you are the leader of Fuxi Celestial Race. You must not lower your position, hence, you and I will address each other as equals. In this universe, only the founder of a clan or race or innate gods are above us. There are almost none that can compete with you in terms of position, even I had taken a little advantage on your position by addressing you as one from the same level as me.”

Chuo Long followed Zhong Yue into the King’s Palace and after catching a glimpse of the massive ancient ship from afar, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “The prehistoric gods are really impressive. Younger cousin from Fuxi Celestial Race, you are really lucky to have found this ship.”

Hearing this, Zhong Yue was a little frustrated; he called Bi and An and Suan Ni cousins while their father, Chuo Long insisted on addressing him as someone with equal seniority.

“It was thanks to my dear wife that I remembered to salvage things from the river.”

He introduced Yin Fanxuan, “My wife’s from Yinkang Clan that lives in the Heavenly River.”

“I see, it’s a pleasure to meet you, the Pearl of Heavenly River, I too, have heard of your name.”

Chuo Long greeted Yin Fanxuan and after reaching his pocket for a bright pearl, he said, “This is my gift for you, please accept it.”

Within this bright dragon pearl contained a stream of divine dragon’s Qi. It was a very powerful precious item created by Chuo Long using innate Dao, which bestowed the item with enormous power, making it an Imperial Emperor level divine weapon!

Yin Fanxuan was completely caught off guard by this and she hesitated right away.

Chuo Long on the other hand, laughed and said, “As the wife of the Fuxi’s leader, you are equal to the queen of the world, it’s completely acceptable and normal for you to accept this gift.”

Hearing Chuo Long’s revelation about Zhong Yue’s identity, Yin Fanxuan was dumbfounded even though she already had an idea about Zhong Yue’s identity long ago. She thought, Marrying him is equivalent to tying myself onto his side…

She looked towards Zhong Yue, to which the young man nodded, telling her that it was fine for her to accept this gift. With that, she accepted the gift and thanked Chuo Long.

The trio walked towards the ancient ship after that and Chuo Long examined the patterns on the ship closely. After quite some time, he frowned and said, “Could these be patterns from the prehistoric era?”

Zhong Yue replied happily, “To be able to identify their origin, you must have some knowledge on these patterns, I assume. You definitely can help me solve the mystery!”

Chuo Long denied Zhong Yue’s hope however. He bitterly smiled and said, “You’ve overestimated my capabilities. I may be an innate god but I am different from the innate celestial dragon that was born in the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm. I am just a celestial dragon born from worship. I am innately weaker than the Ancient Lei Zhe God. When I was born into this world, it was already the Fire Order Era and I never had the chance to see the prehistoric era with my own eyes.”

Zhong Yue then asked, “Then does elder brother have any research on the prehistoric cultivation system?”

“I did some research on it but I did not dwell onto this topic since it was too difficult.”

Chuo Long smiled and replied, “The reason Great Sui became the Heavenly Monarch, monarch of the heaven was because of his contribution in creating the Daos of totem patterns, replacing the prehistoric cultivation system and spreading civilization throughout the universe. He lit up the dull universe with color and life. The cultivation system he created was much easier compared to the prehistoric one. The prehistoric innate ancient gods’ cultivation system is a relic of the ancient past. There is no point in cultivating it even if you do somehow recover them. My advice is to not waste your effort in this field.”

Zhong Yue shook his head and said, “What I want is to find out the lost wonders of the prehistoric era. Perhaps, I might be able to merge the prehistoric cultivation system with the current one to potentially create a new system. My enemies are too strong. That have already developed countermeasures to all of the Fuxi’s techniques and arts, this is the only path I have left.”

“I see.”

Chuo Long was clueless as well, “I know little about the prehistoric era, only with help from the Leizhe Ancient God or Huaxu Ancient God will we possibly have a chance to uncover the secrets hidden within this ancient ship. However, the ancient gods are untraceable, making it very difficult to find them.”

Hearing Chuo Long’s words, Zhong Yue couldn’t help but feel disappointed. He then proceeded to invite Chuo Long to enter the interior and Chuo Long looked at the Dao bone puzzledly. After examining it for quite a moment, Chuo Long shook, “This is a real Dao bone! Strange, this is something no ordinary man can possess. This Dao bone here can activate the Leizhe bloodline, which suggests that it might belong to a Leizhe Celestial Race’s dragon, one that is birthed by heaven and earth instead of worship. But then again, I’ve never heard of any Leizhe Celestial Dragon that died in a war …”

Zhong Yue said, “The Ancient Lei Zhe God is still alive and I’ve seen his younger image projection in the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm so this dragon bone is definitely not his!”

“The Ancient Lei Zhe God is of course alive. He merely shed his previous body and entered that world after evolving into a Dao God. This bone is not his for sure.”

Chuo Long kept quiet for a while as he continued examining this bone but the confusion within him deepened as time passed. He murmured, “Could there be another innate sacred ground that can give birth to another Leizhe Dragon God in this world? Why have I never heard of it… Wait!”

Chuo Long flinched and after exhaling a deep breath, he said, “This should be the second ancestor’s bone.”

“Second ancestor?” Zhong Yue was confused.

“The first ever innate dragon god birthed by the innate Lei Zhe sacred ground is called Lei Zhe. He was born by heaven and earth, but after his birth, the remaining heaven and earth Dao that did not fade away turned into the second ancestor, which is also called Shi Long.”

Chuo Long explained, “Innate sacred ground will usually give birth to twin innate gods. The Lei Zhe sacred ground is one and the Hua Xu’s is also another example. The first ancient god from Huaxu Celestial Race is called Hua Xu and the second is Hou Tu. In the prehistoric era, the celestials and demons fought each other ferociously and wars erupted frequently. The prehistoric era is also where Shi Long lost his life and after his death, his bone must have been made into this ship’s keel by an ancient god.”

Zhong Yue remained silent and after a while, he proposed, “The bone is the ancestor’s remains, I think it’s best for you to bury it properly.”

Chuo Long, however, rejected, “It must be destined that Shi Long’s Dao bone emerged in this era. His bone emerged, and you are the chosen one, so you should keep it. Once you succeeded in your mission in the future, you can give him a proper funeral.”

He frowned and sighed, “The Fuxi Celestial Race was annihilated and just this alone will be more than enough to make you make you work extremely hard for your entire life. You will have to go through a lot of challenges and now, with this…”

“With what?” asked the curious Zhong Yue.

“With the affairs traced all the way back into the prehistoric era.”

Chuo Long answered, “With Shi Long’s bone made into this ship’s keel and you obtaining this ship possession, his vengeance will now be your cross to bear.”

Zhong Yue’s mind went blank and he exclaimed, “You surely can’t be talking about the fight between innate ancient celestial gods and innate ancient demon gods!”

Chuo Long was reluctant to continue this discussion and shifted topics, “But it barely affects you since you have already shouldered so many things on your shoulders. Meanwhile, I will stay here to do some studies on Shi Long’s Dao bone because it is also a very important item to me. I will study it and remove the impurities in my innate bones and if I learn something, I will teach you what I learned if I happen to make any discoveries.”

Zhong Yue frowned and Chuo Long continued, “There should be quite a number of ancient innate gods and demon gods that survived up until now from the prehistoric era. You have a lot to shoulder but don’t be too worried, I will teach you everything I know about the innate godly language.”

Chuo Long’s psyche wavered and taught everything he knew about the innate godly language to Zhong Yue and he said, “Whatever I learned from Shi Long’s bone will be taught to you as well. Without you, Shi Long’s Dao bone wouldn’t appear so by teaching everything I learned from the bone to you, our debt will be cleared. In the future, just don’t drag me into your war.”

Zhong Yue nodded and thanked Chuo Long for his help; to have an innate god help him in his studies, the efficiency will definitely be higher compared to him and Yin Fanxuan mindlessly trying to learn anything.

Chuo Long nodded back and with a raise of his hand, he sealed the dimension around. He turned into the innate dragon’s body and his eyes were sharp as he continued examining this innate Dao bone.

As compared to Zhong Yue, Chuo Long’s understanding on such a Dao bone were much stronger and only innate gods could be able to learn the wonders.

Zhong Yue then taught the innate godly language to Yin Fanxuan and the two sat not far away from the Dao bone as they both tried to learn the innate godly language together.

“There is a Yu word here!’

Zhong Yue’s eyes lit up and he immediately transmitted his words to Yin Fanxuan, “Yu word is the Space Dao. If we can master this word completely, we might be able to obtain the wonders in the innate wing patterns on this ship and even activate the ship!”
