The Era of Gods

Chapter 677: Chapter 677 Dream Ancestor Mark Chapter 677: Chapter 677 Dream Ancestor Mark At that moment, his mind raced as he quickly recalled the many unusual aspects of Jade Dreamland, wondering why it was always attached to the Wizard World despite bearing no resemblance to it.

It made sense that it remained in a slumber as if to heal from some wound, and it was no wonder that even the two consciousness incarnations it split off were so powerful that his True Body hadn’t even fully revealed itself before pressuring him to the point where he couldn’t move his gaze.

This power, these methods, they far surpassed any Powerful Divine Strength he had ever seen.

Just as he was wildly speculating, considering whether to use his last resort, his frozen gaze saw the blurred figure in front of him becoming gradually clearer as it drew nearer.

A woman more beautiful than the Emerald Queen approached him gracefully.

In that instant, he felt as if an entire world was colliding with him.

Her indescribably delicate and ravishing face revealed a smile that made his heart uncontrollably flutter.

With crystal-clear, delicate jade fingers, she lightly touched his forehead and said,
“As promised, I shall grant you strength!”
From the corner of his eye, he saw a twisted mark forming on his forehead, but at this point, Lin Xiao’s will was suppressed back into his sea of consciousness, rendering him unable to sense anything, helpless and unable to do anything but submit to the cutting.

Fortunately, his soul’s exterior was made from a shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core, which even great divine power couldn’t break in an instant.

If she truly intended to harm him, he would still have time to use his last resort to retaliate and flee.

Her power swiftly infiltrated his body, quickly spreading throughout his entire being, seeping into every inch of muscle, blood, and even every cell.

Where he could not sense his own body, he could feel the nascent form of his second True Body greedily devouring the strength she bestowed, bolstering his powerful True Body.

Soon, this strength passed through his skull, entered his brain, and touched his soul.

Lin Xiao heightened his alert, ready to use his last resort at the first sign of trouble.

However, as soon as this power touched the shell of his soul, a crisp “Eh?” sounded out, and then he felt the omnipresent oppression disappear.

His gaze sharpened, and he saw her captivating pupils filled with surprise and a hint of delight, as well as deep in thought — a plethora of emotions intertwined.

Before he could comprehend what was happening for even a fraction of a second, all the emotions in her eyes were gone, replaced by a solemnity.

In the midst of his confusion, she said,
“I can feel that you are not yet great, your soul is not strong, but the essence of your True Spirit is stronger than mine, which is incredibly unbelievable and unheard of.”
“Originally, I intended to bestow strength upon you as promised, but now, I have changed my mind!”
Saying this, the solemnness in her eyes slowly turned to shyness.

She glided her fingertips across his cheek, whispering,
“I’ve heard that men of the Human Race value their lovers very highly, treating their women very differently from others, possessing an extraordinary sense of possessiveness.

If we became such lovers, would you take me away?”
Lin Xiao: ???

“Ah, sister, you must have some misconceptions about men!”
This line of thought from her left Lin Xiao completely baffled.

It was undeniable that most men are like that, but there definitely exist scum who abandon all sentiment and turn their backs without recognition, as well as men who would risk their lives to save their loved ones, and then there are those who only care about saving themselves in life-threatening danger, the latter being the majority.

After all, most people are ordinary and when faced with sudden threats to their lives, unless it’s true love, their survival instinct usually kicks in first.

It isn’t selfishness; it’s a life instinct, the instinct of ordinary people.

Such a powerful transcendent being harboring such naive thoughts — could it be that sleeping too long had damaged her brain, leaving her unaware of the treacherous human heart?

Lin Xiao simply couldn’t figure out whether she truly thought this way or if she was deliberately saying it to lower his guard.

This doubt lasted until…

she reached out to touch his chest, and the wizard robe he wore, which was surely a top-tier magic weapon, quietly turned to dust, revealing his robust physique.

Then, the tender green leaves on her body vanished one by one, leaving behind a scene so indescribable that his ‘little brother’ saluted in the utmost respect.

“My god, this is for real!”
The perfect mosaic pressed slowly against his body, a chill reaching deep into his body and soul, every cell feeling the cold yet expansively comfortable sensation.

“Comfortable!”
As Lin Xiao intimately experienced this indescribable feeling, he felt immense indignation towards the ubiquitously harmonious mythical creatures of legend.

Wrath produced an endless strength, which led him to change his passive stance, embrace her seemingly unfamiliar figure, and flip over to press down, initiating a berserk charge.

This extreme tactile sensation slowly extended from his body to his soul, and in a state akin to dual cultivation, their souls were gradually approaching each other.

Lin Xiao vaguely felt an incredibly vast will slowly enveloping his own soul.

An extremely cool breath penetrated his soul as the link between their mismatched souls was established, and the Crystal Wall System’s Core that constructed his soul’s shell wasn’t isolated from this beneficial and harmless power.

With the cool breath seeping into his soul, Lin Xiao’s consciousness experienced an explosion akin to a nuclear blast.

After the boundless light, blurry images that didn’t belong to him appeared in his mind.

These images were fuzzy and incoherent, but taken together, they revealed astonishing information to him.

As his soul power received this information, its intensity grew rapidly, like riding a rocket, becoming significantly stronger in a moment and then doubling in the next.

His physical body also gained a strength of the same origin as the soul power.

Every cell, like a parched sponge, was frenetically absorbing this energy.

His strength grew rapidly, and his True Body soon couldn’t maintain a human appearance, transforming into the hundred-meter-high form of the Titan Ancient God Body.

Her body also grew in sync to accommodate his massive bombardment.

In less than half an hour, Lin Xiao’s strength had already leaped from the early stages of Rank 7 to the middle stages, and not long after, it surpassed the boundary that witch-king-level powerhouses might not cross in thousands or even tens of thousands of years, advancing to the late stages of Rank 7, and it continued to grow at an incredibly fast speed as if there was no end to it.

What shocked him even more was that as his power rapidly increased, this continuous strength also grew.

It was like his previous capacity for energy infusion was limited, with a pump only as thick as a wrist.

Now, with his increased capacity, the pump had broadened to the size of a waist.

The energy pouring into his body was endless and boundless, and the pleasurable sensation from the growth of his body, physiology, soul, and will, when combined, was too much for even his near-Titan-sized True Body to withstand.

At a certain moment, he finally couldn’t bear it any longer and let out a muffled roar, a release flooding out.

As his consciousness blurred and relaxed, the Emerald Queen in his arms suddenly whispered into his ear:
“Remember my true name: 建å½å¢æŠ.ƒé›†å›¢¸Šæµ·du建工投资海建合投资ç¡ç†å»ºä¿¡åŸºé‡….”
A string of garbled symbols appeared in Lin Xiao’s mind.

At first, he thought it was a playful prank, but in the next second, this string of symbols linked end to end to form an ouroboros-like symbol, which branded itself into his soul.

Then the symbol burst into dazzling light, and a force he could not resist exploded within him.

When he recovered, everything had changed dramatically.

He had left the Jade Dreamland, or rather, the Jade Dreamland had disappeared; the beauty in his arms had also vanished, leaving only his younger brother standing straight up in the air amidst the chaos, just like his own feelings.

If it weren’t for the constant flow of power within him, he would have thought the whole experience had been a mere dream.

“So you’re saying, you’re now hidden within my body?”
Lin Xiao looked down and placed his hand on his chest, where there was a massive mark, complicated in appearance and bearing no relation to the Emerald Queen.

In fact, this mark had nothing to do with the Emerald Queen Tishar; it was merely a mark.

The true Ancestor’s Mark was in his soul, and that was also where the essence of the Emerald Queen Tishar was hidden.

Yes, the essence of the Emerald Queen was that of an injured ancestor.

During their spiritual and physical exchange, Lin Xiao had clearly understood her origins—an innate being born from the initial chaos when the Wizard Crystal Wall Universe was first formed, wielding the power of dreams and illusions.

As an Innate Ancestor, she possessed extreme power and was virtually unreachable to ordinary mortals, even in dreams.

Her dreams did not contain mortals; only powerful life forms above Level 4 were qualified to touch her dreams, just like the Jade Dreamland he had previously entered.

Ordinary wizards couldn’t even access it, let alone mortals.

And powerful beings above Rank 4 rarely dealt with love in their dreams, if ever…

Okay, I can’t make this up anymore.

Lin Xiao truly could not comprehend how an ancestor’s thinking could be so…

childish.

Yet, from his limited previous interactions and records within the Wizard King’s Tower, she seemed quite smart.

Nor had the guardians or the wizards who entered the Jade Dreamland ever taken advantage of her, and no one had bamboozled her as he had.

No, this was more like he had willingly walked into her embrace, in a manner that suggested surrender.

Her goal was simple: to have Lin Xiao take her away from this world, to the Human Main World, so as to evade the pursuit of the Spirit Clan’s True Dark Ancestor.

While an ancestor could leave the Wizard World, a native like her, once she left the shelter of the Wizard Crystal Wall Universe’s will for the void, could be ambushed by the True Dark Ancestor and others from the Soul Race, of equal rank, within minutes.

Her only protection would come from the Human Race, part of the Divine Realm’s civilization.

After much thought, Lin Xiao guessed that of all the children of the Human Divine Realm she had encountered, he was the most special.

After all, having a Powerful Crystal Wall System’s Core shell as his soul’s shell made him seem quite promising to her, and it was highly likely that he could reach her level in the future, making her reliance on him not disgraceful.
