Capítulo 1210: Chapter 1201: Awakening King
“Who goes there?”
Mo Wangchen stood outside the Divine Scale Clan. After a moment, several figures swiftly emerged from within.
Leading them was a man named Lin Zhi, who possessed the Cultivation of the Demigod Realm and was the current Great Elder of the Divine Scale Clan.
“Mo Wangchen?”
Upon recognizing Mo Wangchen’s appearance, Lin Zhi immediately furrowed his brows.
He recognized the other as the famed Divine King Body who now headed eastward to wage war on the Demon Dragon Clan, but why had he suddenly appeared here?
“In ancient times, there was a tale of Nvwa mending the heavens, using the Heaven and Earth Divine Origin born from chaotic energy. Nvwa, previously the lord of all monsters, later proved her Dao and became a god. It is said that before she attained the Divine Position, she left behind many Heaven and Earth Divine Origins among various Ancient Clans.”
“All Kings sealed themselves with divine origins so they might endure from the Ancient Times, awaiting future descendants to awaken them. In a sense, as long as the Era is not destroyed, those sealed within the divine origins can be said to achieve true immortality.”
Mo Wangchen looked at Lin Zhi and the others before him and spoke lightly.
Lin Zhi frowned, puzzled as to why Mo Wangchen was discussing this, and he opened his mouth to speak, “Although my Divine Scale Clan has emerged, we have not participated in the disputes between the two clans in these nine hundred years. I do not know what brings you here today, young friend?”
“I have heard that your Divine Scale Clan also has an Ancient King sealed within a divine origin, yet to be awakened?” Mo Wangchen inquired.
Lin Zhi’s brow furrowed deeper, “Though our clan’s Ancestor King has not awakened, young friend has recently challenged the Dragon Clan. Is your visit today meant to target my Divine Scale Clan?”
The Human Clan Divine King Body has been long resented by the Ancient Clans; it has always been so. In the eyes of the world, Mo Wangchen and the various Ancient Clans have mutually exclusive relationships.
“My Divine Scale Clan has no grievance with you; though the Ancient King has not awakened, if you truly intend to act against my Divine Scale Clan today…”
“Senior, you misunderstand; I harbor no hostility towards the Divine Scale Clan,” Mo Wangchen replied with a smile, not waiting for Lin Zhi to finish.
He had come today to confirm something—in the nine hundred years he had fallen into reincarnation, Mo Wangchen, in his first life, had been acquainted with the Ancestor King of the Divine Scale Clan.
The Divine Scale Ancient King of that time was still a beast that had not yet taken human form. Later, within the Mo Pavilion, Mo Wangchen helped it overcome the tribulation of forming a human shape. When revisiting the place in his second life, Mo Wangchen learned that the other had become the Divine Scale Ancient King.
The Ancient Heavenly Court had withstood countless Eras without perishing, and naturally, the various Ancient Clans had done the same. In fact, the current Divine Scale Clan is connected to every previous Era’s Divine Scale Clan.
Mo Wangchen came here because he wanted to see if the king sealed within the divine origin of the Divine Scale Clan, yet to awaken, was the same person he knew during those nine hundred years of reincarnation.
For Mo Wangchen had heard that, in some respects, the ancestor kings of the various Ancient Clans are all the same person.
After the first king dies, they enter the Netherworld, traverse reincarnation, and are reborn in the next Era as a new Ancestor King. Though their body is no longer the same person, their soul remains unchanged from beginning to end.
What Mo Wangchen wants to confirm today is whether the king in the Divine Scale Clan who has not awakened is the same one he knows.
“May I see your king?” he queried with a smile, showing no hint of animosity.
Lin Zhi frowned and exchanged glances with the person beside him, just about to shake his head in refusal when suddenly…
“Boom!”
The earth trembled violently, and a terrifying wave erupted from within the Divine Scale Clan.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”
The void quivered, and the entire Heaven and Earth darkened at this moment. One after another, Auspicious Clouds manifested, bestowing sacred radiance upon the entire land of the Divine Scale Clan.
“This is…”
“The Ancient King is about to awaken!”
The unexpected event startled Lin Zhi.
Originally, there should have been nearly a hundred years before the Ancient King’s awakening according to prediction, so why were there signs of awakening now?
He didn’t think much about it, his body flashing, and he and those with him vanished in an instant.
Mo Wangchen squinted, and after a moment’s pause, he didn’t hesitate to follow them in.
In a huge plaza, a massive blood-colored Red Stone stood there, like a piece of red agate, similar to what the ancient texts described as Heaven and Earth Divine Origin.
At this moment, large waves of auspicious clouds manifested, sacred radiance poured down onto the red stone. The sudden turn of events alarmed everyone in the Divine Scale Clan, and numerous figures rushed toward the plaza, gathering entirely around the red stone.
Invisibly, a formidable pressure emanated from the red stone, a suppression originating from the bloodline, as if a Heavenly Mountain weighed down upon the shoulders of all the Divine Scale Clan members, compelling them to kneel and prostrate themselves, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
“Welcome the Ancestor King’s revival!”
The crowd shouted in unison, their eyes filled with immense excitement; such a scene unequivocally signaled that their king was awakening.
Mo Wangchen stood outside the crowd, and even he found his breath growing heavier at this moment. He felt a suppression that differed from that of the Divine Scale Clan members—a suppression stemming from cultivation.
An Ancient God of great power was about to revive, like ancient divine beings emerging into the world. Great Dao Divine Power flowed continuously, filling the entire Divine Scale Clan. Mo Wangchen owed it to the Divine Status within him that he was not significantly affected.
If someone else were here, their situation would not be much better.
“Bang!”
The Divine Scale Clan’s cultivators kowtowed, shouting, as in the center of the plaza, the giant red stone suddenly split open.
The Great Dao Divine Power became even more terrifying, an overwhelming divine might enveloping them, making it almost impossible to breathe. The next moment, a figure emerged from the shattered giant stone.
It was a middle-aged man; his appearance was very ordinary, not special in the least.
He was the type who, when placed among a crowd, could not attract any attention from others.
“Welcome the Ancestor King!”
The Divine Scale Clan spoke in unison again, their faces extremely excited. The awakening of the Ancient King meant that their Divine Scale Clan could thereafter stand alongside other ancient clans as one of the rulers of the current Heaven and Earth.
“Everyone, rise…”
The Divine Scale King spoke softly, yet his words were like the sound of the Great Dao, clearly echoing in the minds of all present, resounding endlessly.
Only after his aura began to retract did the crowd stand up, though their bodies still trembled with excitement.
“Ancestor King…”
Lin Zhi stepped forward, just about to say something.
Yet, the Divine Scale King gestured with his hand, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on Mo Wangchen in the distance.
Then, to the disbelief of all those present in the Divine Scale Clan, the Divine Scale King stepped forward and finally stood before Mo Wangchen.
In front of everyone, he respectfully bowed to Mo Wangchen, “Greetings, Mo Venerable!”
