The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1239 - 472: Ancient Emblem God·Wine Cup Pattern_2

The next moment, both eyes locked onto Ye Hanjun simultaneously—those indescribable gazes, oppressive or scrutinizing, made him feel a chill.

"Let me introduce, this is Ancient Totem·Wine Cup Pattern."

"You may call Him ’Wine Cup’; so many years have passed, long gone is His superior demeanor, He is quite approachable to Fond Spirits."

Myriad Beasts Pattern·Gong, with a chuckle, straightforwardly said:

"Zhe Yu, do you find it strange? Despite my depleted divine power, why would I still go to such lengths to establish a realm?"

"I don’t do it for show, but because by doing so, I can completely block the prying eyes of Heavenly Dao, ensuring that this conversation is absolutely safe."

As he spoke, Myriad Beasts Pattern’s gaze focused on the wine cup, his voice lowered, feeling extremely sneaky:

"This Wine Cup guy, death upon exposure to light."

"If He were to be discovered by Heavenly Dao, with even a remnant thought still alive, a mere strike of Divine Thunder would utterly disperse Him."

"Hmph." The spirit fluctuations from the golden and silver wine cup were even more arcane, necessitating extra mental decoding:

"Gong, Gong, now you’re an old man too, your condition can’t be much better than mine."

"We’re in the same boat, let’s not mock each other and discuss serious matters."

"Alright." Myriad Beasts Pattern shrugged with a smile, "As you can see, the people from the Hanba Clan have sought us out."

"Their Ancestor has fallen at the Earth God Mountain, which is now covered by endless ice and snow; with your wisdom, you surely understand what has happened, right?"

"Ice... It must be that shameless old Origin!"

The mung bean eyes on the wine cup immediately revealed a loathing hue.

Instantly, that loathing turned into confusion, then shifted from confusion to astonishment:

"The Ancestor of the Hanba Clan... actually managed to attain the fruit position of Divine Venerate in an impossible future era?"

"What kind of demon is this, if born during the Ancient Era, wouldn’t the absence of His throne among the Heavenly Venerates be a blasphemy?"

"Alas."

Myriad Beasts Pattern sighed lightly:

"Goddess Ba probably succeeded toward the end of the Ancient Era."

"Otherwise, the Solar Abyss wouldn’t be so silent; the silence of the Near Ancient Era corresponds to the once deafening noise."

"Gua!"

GuaGua, whispering next to Ye Hanjun’s ear, couldn’t help but mumble:

"Big Tadpole! It’s too strange, an old grandpa accompanied by an even older grandpa!"

"Not strange, why would it be strange?"

Here in Myriad Beasts Pattern’s realm, He traced the sound to GuaGua, and with a renewed smile, joked:

"Pure Beasts, known as the most pristine creatures in existence."

"Having lived from the Ancient Era to the present, I have only heard in the early Near Ancient Era of a cat-shaped Pure Fond Spirit who made a fleeting appearance on the battlefield of a hundred clans, to be lost to the winds afterward."

"To truly meet face to face, this is a first."

Myriad Beasts Pattern tried inside and out to see through GuaGua.

Yet it was ultimately in vain; carefree GuaGua was still focused on the previous topic:

"Old grandpa, great old grandpa, quit beating around the bush, what exactly is the oath you mentioned?"

Myriad Beasts Pattern and the Wine Cup Pattern glanced at each other, the latter responded in a low voice:

"It is a commitment that must be honored."

"I am a divine spirit who was defeated in the Ancient Era, without attaining the Double Seal, naturally, I couldn’t ascend to the position of Heavenly Venerate."

"But I wasn’t willing to fall like this; my strong desire allowed me to preserve a wisp of Divine Thought, hiding within ancient ruins, always in a slumber, awaiting the arrival of a fated one."

"Not long after Gong’s enlightenment, when He was heavily injured, He was not only saved by Goddess Ba but also covertly possessed by me. He was the fated one I awaited; I guided Him to survive and find a way for his clan’s continued existence, and shared some ancient wisdom without seeking recompense. His survival till now, largely traced back to my contribution."

Wine Cup Pattern’s expression was complex as He said:

"Back then, I recognized Goddess Ba’s astonishing potential."

"But I dared not expose myself carelessly, for fear of discovery by Heavenly Dao."

"In the end, I could only have Gong pass on a message if Goddess Ba one day reaches the realm of God above God, the Emblem Spirits must become His support."

"I suppose the incomprehensible words didn’t hold much weight for Goddess Ba in the beginning."

"But once She achieved Double Seal Fusion and was enlightened to Divine Venerate, seeing the tyranny and arrogance beyond the cage, on the brink of being sealed, She remembered Gong’s conversation, recalled the Totem Tribe."

Wine Cup Pattern’s divinity was too weak to warrant concern, but His dominant tone still seemed to loom over all other gods:

"Ancient, Near Ancient, Newborn."

"Facts have proven that the order of Heavenly Dao needs to be established, or else All Heavens would be chaotic, and when calamity truly arrives, it would be too late for regrets."

"But the Heavenly Dao should not be controlled by a fixed pantheon of divine spirits. They are first-timers as rulers—if there’s abuse of power, if they are incompetent... what of all living beings? What of the Myriad Spirits?"

"And then, the outstanding successors who finally stand at the peak of the world, yet must kneel before Heavenly Dao one by one—where is the management of order? This is clearly confinement, totally obstructing the channels of ascent. This is wrong. The capable should rise, the mediocre should give way, the incompetent should step down, the inferior should be culled—such a simple principle, surely I wouldn’t need to preach, right?"

The Wine Cup Pattern—revealed a look of deep anguish and indignation.

Regarding the gone Ancient Era, He seemed to harbor too much unwillingness, His spiritual fluctuations made no attempt to mask the emotions of wanting to strike back.

"So, you want to overthrow the Heavenly Dao and rebuild it, is that it?"

Mu Yi, in the capacity of the Clan Leader of the Hanba Clan, rigorously asked back:

"The one who sealed our clan’s Ancestor was the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign, the Ancient Double Seal Primordial Spirit."

"There are eight other Heavenly Venerates at His level, each with their own means reaching to the skies."
