Chapter 1953 - 1942: Ancestral God
"Damn great..."Ning Fan quickly held his tongue, smiling ingratiatingly, "Oh great Black Dragon King, why do you think I am a God Eater?"
The Black Dragon said coldly, "You stole the divine power."
"Stole the divine power?"
Ning Fan pondered to himself and then finally understood.
"That's right. The Black Dragon was resurrected because of that trace of divine power."
Thinking of this, Ning Fan shamelessly said, "It's just the strength I cultivated on my own."
"Don't even think about deceiving me. You haven't even ignited the divine fire, how could you possibly cultivate divine power?"
"Alright then."
Ning Fan said helplessly, "Even so, why do you accuse me of stealing?"
"If it wasn't theft, how could a mortal like you possess divine power?"
"Would you believe if I said it's just a coincidence?"
"Hmph!"
The Black Dragon looked at Ning Fan with disdain, as if saying, don't try using such poor lies to fool me.
After some thought, Ning Fan decided to mention the divine blood.
After all, he had many questions about the blood from the Sun God.
Of course, he wouldn't speak about the matters of Ancient Sky City since Ning Fan decided to keep some things to himself.
Upon learning that Ning Fan had a drop of divine blood in his body, the Black Dragon's brutal aura began to stir and he roared fiercely, "Foolish human, you dare deceive me, the great Aeris—Orlandorf..."
Hearing this nerve-racking opening, Ning Fan hurriedly interrupted and asked back, "If not, how would you explain where the divine power in my body comes from?"
"This..."
The Black Dragon, who was raging, suddenly froze, elongating his lizard face to show a human-like confusion.
"Didn't you say I hadn't ignited the divine fire and couldn't cultivate divine power."
Ning Fan asked smugly, "Then tell me how divine power came to be."
"You, vile God Eater, stole the power of the gods, hence possessing divine power."
Hearing this, Ning Fan felt like crying without tears, going in circles with a bunch of nonsense, and ending up back at square one.
"Excuse me, Black Dragon, how could a mere mortal steal the power of the gods?"
Ning Fan said with a peculiar expression, "If I had such power, why would I be trapped here like you?"
"Uh..."
The Black Dragon was stunned, already starting to seriously contemplate Ning Fan's words.
"Exactly. Though the ancestral gods have fallen, divine power isn't something a mortal can steal, at least this pesky bug can't achieve that."
Listening to the Black Dragon's muttering, Ning Fan's face darkened, he grunted, "Can you dare speak louder, you chubby lizard."
"Damn pesky bug, shut your mouth."
Seeing the Black Dragon about to go insane, Ning Fan said casually, "You call me a pesky bug one more time, and I'll call you a chubby lizard."
"Damn pesky... human, you dare make deals with the king."
Faced with the somewhat proud little Black Dragon, Ning Fan, being the adult, wouldn't stoop to stirring up this immature kid.
Even though this immature kid's age is countless times more ancient than human history.
Ning Fan urged, "You still haven't answered my earlier question."
"I... honestly tell me, who is your father god?"
"What nonsense! Where does the father god come from?"
Ning Fan teased, "Is there a mother god too? Are all deities offspring of the father god and mother god?"
"Silence. How dare you blaspheme the gods, don't you know the divine might is like a prison?"
While speaking, the Black Dragon's huge nostrils spewed flames inches long.
This scene vividly expressed its anger.
"Did you swallow gunpowder, just spewing fire at any provocation?"
Ning Fan exclaimed speechlessly, "God Eater, Ancestral God, Father God, it's all from you, what does it have to do with me?"
The Black Dragon seemed to calm down, asking incredulously, "Do you really not know?"
"Isn't that obvious? If I knew, why would I be asking you?"
Ning Fan shouted, "I kindly saved your life, yet you spew fireballs at me. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
"I..."
After a good while, the Black Dragon haughtily said, "I didn't ask you to save me."
Ning Fan shamelessly sighed, "I'll take it as courting disaster myself, alright."
He never intended to save the Black Dragon, but the divine power suddenly ran amok, what else could he do.
"Can you tell me the truth now? Since mortals can ignite divine fire to cultivate divine power, you can't just treat them as God Eaters and kill them all, can you?"
As soon as Ning Fan finished, the Black Dragon quickly responded, "Of course not. Newly ignited gods are targets we need to win over."
"New gods?"
Encountering yet another new term, Ning Fan, already confused, became more bewildered, but it didn't stop him from understanding one thing.
Ning Fan frowned, "So, you or rather the deities behind you are in a different camp than the God Eaters."
The Black Dragon filled with indignation, "That's right. One day we will eradicate the God Eaters."
"Alright. I believe the God Eaters are all a bunch of shameless scoundrels with pus-filled feet and festering heads... no buttholes."
After a heap of nonsense, Ning Fan abruptly asked, "But why do you want the God Eaters?"
Before the Black Dragon could speak, Ning Fan quickly continued, "Don't say it's about stealing the power of the gods. Divine power isn't cabbage that you can steal whenever you want."
"Because they betrayed the Ancestral God."
Ning Fan finally hearing a different answer hurriedly asked, "What happened exactly?"
"It's over 280 million years ago..."
Hearing this opener, Ning Fan couldn't help reminding, "We're in a forbidden spell now, can you make it brief."
"It's a Dragon Language Forbidden Spell."
The Black Dragon reluctantly pointed out before revealing the distant secrets.
Western deities are structured like a patriarchal society.
Those who comprehend the ultimate law of the first generation of deities were called Father God, also known as Ancestral God.
Ancestral gods aren't formed by postnatal cultivation, but are born innately.
For example, the first generation of the original attribute water god was called the Ancestral Water God, also recognized as the Father God of the water attribute.
Any god who ascends by comprehending the water rules, or belongs to mutated attributes of the water series like mist and ice, all belong to the Ancestral Water God's lineage, respectfully calling them Father God.
Aside from the attribute elements, many mysterious creatures born innately are also called Ancestral Gods.
For instance, the Western Dragon Clan that the Black Dragon belongs to, their ancestors were the Ancestral Dragon God, the Father God for the Western Dragon Clan.
These innately born divine spirits possess immense power at birth.
Every ancestral god signifies the ultimate of a rule,
All gods born under this rule are termed Child God.
