《Reincarnated As the Strongest Ancestor With a System》39. The First Divinity
Advertisement
Bang...
The Lightning Dragon smashed into Qin Yuan's body, producing a bang sound like the sky was collapsing.
Several cracks appeared on the Divine Continent, which then turned into new rivers.
“Even souls will turn to ashes under this attack,” said an ancestor who immediately covered his mouth when he saw Qin Yuan still standing where he was.
"For the sake of the Goddess of Life who is the source of all life, is he an immortal who cannot die?"
“He is not a Ninth Stage Divine Emperor, right?” asked a junior, who got a nod from the other juniors.
They can only think of that.
But the ancestors shook their heads in rebuttal. "That's impossible because every Divine Emperor must show their Divinities in a situation like this."
“Perhaps he has a peerless treasure or one of the legendary Nine Heavenly Treasures,” added one ancestor, making the other ancestor's eyes shine as they looked at each other.
No one could imagine what kind of treasure it was. But seeing Qin Yuan who was still unscathed made them think it would make them invincible.
Unfortunately, their greed was instantly extinguished the moment they saw the sea of lightning in the sky.
The difference of robbing Divinity in your own generation and in other generations is; in your generation; You will be attacked by your enemies whereas in other generations no one will attack you because there is a more terrifying attack that will attack you. And that makes each of your enemies only dare to watch from afar.
After one dragon, Qin Yuan saw three dragons starting to emerge from that sea of lightning.
Even though he was sure he was still fine, he no longer procrastinated. He then stretched out his hand into the vortex.
Even at that moment, thousands of gigantic swords condensed from lightning appeared around his hand. Each of them slashed at his hand as if they wanted to cut his hand into ten thousand pieces.

"Huh..." He snorted softly and ignored them.
His palm finally made it into the vortex.
Within that vortex where no one could see, his palm became tens of thousands of times larger.
With a single grab, it managed to grab onto the wisps of golden light at the end of the vortex.
"Divinity..."
He became very excited and quickly pulled his hand back.
Little by little, his hand began to emerge from the vortex.
Bang Bang bang...
At the same time, the three Lightning Dragons finally slammed into his body, sending him being pushed back several steps.
It made his hand come out faster. Immediately that wisp of golden light showed itself to the world.
Roar... Roar... Roar...
The roars of beasts resounded in the sky as if a monstrous creature was in a rage.
Qin Yuan couldn't help but stop his movements and looked up.
For a moment, he somehow felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him from a very faraway place.
'What the hell is that?' Qin Yuan knitted his brows and finally shook his head.
After that, he started to exert Divinity into his chest which was instantly sucked into his body.
It then appeared in his Heart Space and quickly entered the Fragment.
When it came out of the Fragment, it had turned into a star that emitted a gray light.
The light flowed through his body and soul, giving off a chill and cool sensation.
At the same time, he found the damage to his body and soul dissipating very quickly.
“Great, Divinity is indeed something better,” he said.
Ding...
[You successfully obtain one Divinity, you gain 15,000 Karma Points and 7,500 Charm Points.]
{Karma Points: 18,900}
{Charm Points: 27,050}
{Cultivation:
{ -Saint Ancestor Tenth Stage}
{ -Divine Emperor First Stage}
{Lifespan: Unknown}
That last line made Qin Yuan's eyes shine brightly.
Something he had been really worried about had finally disappeared, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

"Mmm..."
Qin Yuan who had just been observing his body turned his gaze to the sky again.
That sea of lightning still hadn't disappeared. On top of that, there were even ten Lightning Dragons formed, and each of them was ten times larger than the first Lightning Dragon.
"What happened?"
Not only was Qin Yuan confused, the audience was also confused because normally it would disappear once one managed to infuse Divinity into the body.
While knitting his brows, Qin Yuan started to think of some possibilities.
He then reinserted his Divinity into the Fragment.
As he expected, the sea of lightning disappeared immediately.
'So it's not allowed,' he said to himself.
This was not the only thing, some of the treasures possessed by ancient factions such as the God Clan and others could also cause Heaven Strikes so fierce that no one dared to use them.
Why this happens is difficult to explain. The most speculation was that their strength was beyond what the World could contain. Normally, they could only be used in ancient mysterious places like the Immortal Ghost Cave which were basically indeed in a separate dimension.
'But the increase in my strength doesn't seem to be that far.'
He felt his own body and tried to predict how strong he would be if he used Divinity.
Stronger, of course. However, after a while, he shook his head.
'It's hard to predict power without releasing it.'
'I think this increase in strength is just like building a foundation, it still can't compare to a stage increase.'
'I wonder if anyone has stepped up like this among the supreme experts.'
He did not dare to underestimate the supreme experts in the Divine World because each and every one of them were brilliant beings.
There might be no one fused with the Heavenly Scripture Fragment like him, but that didn't mean there wasn't another way to advance one step further. Who knows...
After taking a breath, he immediately stepped up and disappeared.
Just an instant after he disappeared, dozens of people with extraordinary auras appeared.
Their eyes radiated light like the sun.
Every area their eyes gazed upon became a thousand times brighter.
Cultivators who happened to be in those areas felt as if their bodies were being stripped naked under the lights.
Unfortunately, no matter how they tried to track down Qin Yuan, none of them found even the remnants of his aura.
"What treasure does he have?" One of them wondered.
...
Inside the building, Su Mei and Qian Suyun opened their mouths in too much shock as they looked at the scene in the sky through the window.
Su Mei looked amazed while Qian Suyun seemed to think about how Qin Yuan did it.
After calming down, she sighed.
“It seems that the Divine World is about to enter a period of seeking its ruler,” she said softly.
Su Mei glanced at her and lightly snorted. She said, "of course, my husband will be the ruler."
"He is also my husband, sister Mei."
"You only come at good times." Su Mei sneered.
Qian Suyun was a bit embarrassed that she had indeed secluded herself for too long.
"I know you're not happy with my appearance at a time like this," she replied.
As Su Mei looked at her, she continued, "But sister Mei, my presence may be a good thing for you."
"What do you mean?" Su Mei asked, confused.
Qian Suyun didn't answer, just shook her head.
"What are you talking about?" A male voice resounded between them.
Qin Yuan appeared and he removed the crow mask on his head.
"Husband, is it really you, how did you do it?" Su Mei quickly approached.

8 82Cycles of Ruin
Civilizations rise and fall. Kith build them up and monsters, led by powerful dungeon keepers, bring them to ruin. For three thousand years the cycle has been maintained by the Guild of Chaos and its endless hordes of minions who—in absence of their long lost creators—have taken it upon themselves to keep the realms of the universe in balance. The Guild has grown efficient at this task, but some among its ranks have begun to ponder the utility of a universe that has been robbed of the very possibility of change. Basil von Doom is one such dungeon keeper working for the Guild, leading an army of loyal minions from one conquest to the next; burning civilizations and sifting through the ruins in search of forbidden knowledge that the races of kith were never meant to possess. But having spent more than half a century in pursuit of glory and fame—trying to live up to the legacy of his father—Basil has grown indifferent towards his work. Desperate for a worthy challenge, but bound by his duties as a dungeon keeper, he has turned his mind towards uncovering the ultimate fate of the previous master of his house and the secrets that were buried with him. Now the young Master of House Doom must balance his growing interest in pursuing the trail of his father with the responsibilities that come with running a dungeon in service to the Guild of Chaos. To remain in good standing with the Guild, Basil has even accepted the task of mentoring an apprentice dungeon keeper, a young succubus named Elnora. It is at the tail end of her apprenticeship that the story begins; with a civilization poised to fall—its greatest heroes gathering for one last assault on the heart of darkness—and Basil striking up a conversation with his apprentice that will set into motion the unraveling of the universe. ***This is a rewrite and continuation of my story that was first posted on RoyalRoad a few years ago.
