" Shen Mu smiled. "May I ask you ancestral spirits: the Creators of today against the Creators of twenty thousand years ago — which are stronger, which weaker? " The ancestral spirits started. One said, "The Creators of today are stronger. " Shen Mu smiled.
"To cut yourselves off from the world is to cut yourselves off from survival. The Creator race fled into the void and built the Great Void, thinking themselves secure.
Yet the moment Emperor Tai came here, the Great Void crumbled and collapsed, leaving you helpless against a single blow.
Yun the Heaven Lord came, brought the knowledge of the outside world, and helped you root out Emperor Tai. But then the Creator race hid themselves away on the Other Shore, cutting themselves off from the world anew. Then Kaihuang came and founded the Carefree Territory, bringing the knowledge of the outside world.
It was only by coming into contact with the Carefree Territory that your arts and divine powers advanced by leaps and bounds, surpassing the past. " His voice rang out like a thunderclap: "I look upon your people — at most a million or so. Had Kaihuang never come, how many tens of thousands of years would the Creator race have endured before perishing? Settled here in seclusion, with no internal troubles and no external threats, you will only dwindle away by degrees, never multiply and flourish.
The Other Shore World is your dwelling place; the Great Void is the window through which you touch the outside world.
Only with that window will the Creator race gradually grow strong and prosper. " The thoughts of the many ancestral spirits wove and clashed together; plainly, their debate was fierce.
Shen Mu said no more.
After a long while, the wills of the ancestral spirits became one.
An aged voice came forth: "All this time we have not asked the Holy Infant's name.
How should we address you? " "Shen Mu of Jingping. " Shen Mu smiled. "You may not have heard the name, but you must certainly have heard my title from Yun the Heaven Lord. I am Mu the Heaven Lord of the Dragon Han Heavenly Court, one of the Five Founding Elders of the Celestial Alliance! " The ancestral spirits were silent.
After a moment, one said, "We never heard Yun the Heaven Lord speak of it. " Shen Mu's face darkened; he was mortified and felt he had lost all face. Langwan the God King had kept her countenance expressionless and her bearing unmoved the whole time, but now she could not help secretly laughing. Shen Mu's face went from black to red, and he stammered to her, "Mu the Heaven Lord's reputation is very great! In the Dragon Han age, I was the Dragon Han Overlord Body; in the High Sovereign age, the High Sovereign Overlord Body; and in the Jingping age, I am the Jingping Overlord Body as well.
I am quite something.

" Langwan the God King could not hold back a smile and turned her head away.
"Holy Infant, are you ready to receive the wisdom our Creator race has amassed over a hundred million years?
" The countless divine consciousnesses of the Ancestral Spirit Realm trembled, converging into a single voice. Shen Mu's heart tightened; he steadied himself and said in a deep voice, "I am ready!
" The entire Ancestral Spirit Realm began to shake.
Torrents of light formed from countless divine consciousnesses surged over him and swallowed him up!
