Grand Ancestral Bloodlines
chapter-1998

"... From this day forth, my Title will be..."

Young Master Moon's words seemed obscured by the laws of the world as though he was waiting for the right moment to reveal it.

However, he seemed happy and content. Or rather, he seemed more happy and content than usual.

Those who knew him felt that he was an existence who was always stone-faced. Having just the slightest curl of his lip now spoke volumes about his mood.

He descended slowly from the skies, his aura billowing about and his hair still dancing with blue flames.

When he touched the ground, it iced over beneath his restrained aura alone, and several Fire Fiends that were far too close found themselves becoming streams of energy that entered Young Master Moon's body.

Dead without even a single glance.

And among them... there were Sovereigns.

For a Sovereign to die so easily, it could be imagined the kind of power Young Master Moon wielded

now.

"Congratulations" Dao God Shy said with a smile. For some reason, he seemed to be speaking to Young Master Moon as more of an equal than not... which was odd considering he was no less talented, and yet far more powerful by several measures.

Young Master Moon might have accelerated through the Lord Realms, but if he wanted to keep that nice Dao of his, he was going to need to work and put in a great deal of effort.

Though he was at the Peak of the Lord Realm, it might not be until thousands of years later that he broke into the Sovereign Realm.

Though, of course, if it really took him so long, this Dao God Shy wouldn't be interested in him in the slightest.

"Am I worthy now?" Young Master Moon spoke indifferently.

His words seemed to be from someone seeking approval, but his tone seemed to say that he already knew the answer.

Dao God Shy smiled almost bashfully, something that was even more odd for a man of his stature. "You have met the standards. You can now participate in the deeper matters of the family. But, you should know that a lot has happened while you've been away!

"Like?"

"Well, you aren't the only one of this world to break the ceiling."

Young Master Moon's pupils constricted. "Aria?"

His mind obviously went to just one person, but he didn't really believe it. He had always been a half-step ahead of Aria, and her thinking wasn't nearly flexible enough due to her temper. Surprisingly, though, Dao God Shy shook his head.

"No."

"Then who?"

Someone who had risen up after he went into seclusion? Just how voung were they? Was that even

possible?

Unless...

"You would not know him even if I told you. It is a human.

"So they broke through the ceiling before the Lord Realm. I am uninterested, then!

Young Master Moon made the logical conclusion. The only way someone could rise up after him and succeed was if they did these things before the Lord Realm.

Otherwise, it would be too exaggerated.

There was a huge difference between breaking through the ceiling before and after the Lord Realm had been entered.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Ryu had "broken through the ceiling in two worlds now. He couldn't be explained with matters of common sense.

"Ile has also cleared about a half dozen Holy Worlds...!" Dao God Shy continued.

"That is easy if you break the ceiling, Young Master Moon replied just as indifferently.

"... one of which was a Lord Grade Realm."

Young Master Moon finally paused, his gaze flashing.

Everything that Dao God Shy had told him until now left him feeling completely uninterested, until this moment here.

Although his feat was still much more difficult because of the clashing wills of the two elements, and the fact he had done it with an inferior Dao, he couldn't look down on this...

"Human?" Young Master Moon frowned. He had been so careless about this information that he only now remembered that Dao God Shy mentioned that he was human.

How was that possible?

Could this be a hidden genius the Human Emperor was raising? They would certainly not like that at

all.

"I also hear this human has killed your elder brother."

BOOM!

A light of fury sparked in Young Master Moon's eyes for the first time. However, what made him furious wasn't brotherly love. It was that this human had almost certainly known who his brother was and chosen to kill him regardless.

"Where is he?" Young Master Moon asked with a sharp gaze.

Dao God Shy chuckled. 'I wouldn't advise you go now. He is under the protection of the Human

Emperor"

Young Master Moon's pupils constricted. Just how many things had changed while he was in secluded meditation? Since when did humans dare to be so... well, daring?

"Why have we not mobilized the family already?"

"The Human Emperor seems to have broken through to Peak Dao God. His vitality is no longer waning, and his Dao has progressed substantially. Those that could kill him are all occupied, and there's no one around who can order them around!"

The Peak Dao Gods of their Realm plane were all taking care of important tasks. They couldn't just leave because they felt like it, and the Human Race wasn't so easy to deal with now that they had a Peak Dao God.

In time, if this ceiling breaker was also able to rise up and the Human Race gained a second Peak Dao God, it would truly be troublesome.

Young Master Moon wasn't a fool. No matter how arrogant he was, he knew that he wasn't a match even for a slightly stronger Sovereign, let alone a Peak Dao God.

However, the gloominess to his face had returned as a result.

"There's no need to harp on this too much. Although this move by the Human Emperor is shocking. he has overextended himself, even killing one of the Sun Clan's Middle Dao Gods likely as a show of dominance.

"He would need tens of thousands of years to flip the situation.

"However... we can enter the final phase of our plan right now!"
