Darryl gasped with shock when he looked up. Brilliant lights radiated high above the sky, and the colorful auspicious clouds had transformed into a giant lotus platform—an old man sat on it serenely.
With silver hair falling down his shoulder, the old man was wearing a white robe, and his face was peaceful as if nothing in the world could ruffle him. The old man had a kind face, but he also had an aura that made all living beings willingly submit to him. His eyes looked as if he could see the past and the future.
One brief eye contact with him, and Darryl already found himself trembling all over. Two seconds later, he gulped to hide the shock in his heart. 'He must be the Ancient Ancestor. Apart from him, no one in the entire Godly Region could command such a presence.'
Darryl had guessed right. It was the Ancient Ancestor who was sitting on the lotus platform. The Ancient Ancestor was the legendary sage after the Great God Pangu. He was born at the beginning of the world, possessing the wisdom of the heavens and the earth, and had the ability to turn the world upside down. He was the sage of all past, present, and future sages. According to the rumors, the Ancient Ancestor founded the Godly Region, and after that, he broke through the void and entered a place beyond the nine heavens.
"Master, have you come back from the place beyond the nine heavens?" the Nine Heaven Emperor asked respectfully as he bowed deeply toward the Ancient Ancestor.
As soon as he said that, all the officials, generals, and soldiers knelt and shouted, "Greetings, Ancient Ancestor."
Millions of people shouted in unison, and that force shook the sky. Even the White Tiger King, Colori Phoenix, and the rest of the demons put away their pride and looked at the Ancient Ancestor with deep respect.
'Sh*t! It's really him!' Darryl thought, inexplicably excited. Then his attention drifted toward a figure standing next to the lotus platform. A woman dressed in a pure white long dress stood there, her graceful figure vaguely hidden under it. The tassels around the cuff of her sleeves and waist swayed gently with the wind, and all those made her seem ethereal.
'Ravishing! She is truly ravishing!' Darryl was instantly smitten. Even though he could not see her face clearly because she was standing sideways, he could tell from her aura that she was a soul-shocking beauty.
The woman turned her head slowly as if she sensed Darryl's gaze. Darryl felt his heart stop from the moment he saw her face. 'She is truly a beauty. Charming but not seductive, gorgeous but not cold.'
Darryl's mind went blank as if all the beautiful words in the world were not enough to describe the beauty of that woman. 'Who is that woman? She must be someone extraordinary to be able to accompany the Ancient Ancestor.'
"It's been a while, Sister Nuwa. You're still as beautiful as ever," the Nine Heaven Emperor said with a smile. "I trust that your trip with the Ancient Ancestor was fruitful?"
