Chapter 566: Father Will Return It

What kind of question is that? The Great Daoist Brush Master had no idea what to say.

Everyone stared at the Great Daoist Brush Master, and Ye Qingqing's gaze was particularly unfriendly.

The Great Daoist Brush Master glanced at Ye Guan before saying, "The Sword Master is invincible!"

He naturally knew what to say at this critical juncture. This wasn't the time for jokes, as everyone in Ye Guan's family was here! If he had chosen the First God, he would have simply courted his death.

Moreover, the Great Daoist Brush Master felt the gazes of the three Destiny landing on him. Their deep gazes were enough for the Great Daoist Brush Master to deduce that they'd pull out their swords and cut him down if he had given the wrong answer.

At the Great Daoist Brush Master's words, Ye Qingqing calmly said, "You don't have to sugarcoat things. We're not unreasonable people."

The Great Daoist Brush Master fell silent. You're the most unreasonable among every single Destiny, so how dare you say that!

The Great Daoist Brush Master was really at a loss. Of course, he could never express his thoughts out loud. The Great Daoist Brush Master believed that Black-Skirt Destiny would chase him with her sword for hundreds of years.

She had that kind of temperament, after all...

The Great Daoist Brush Master composed himself and said, "After the First God's self-destruction, the Dao Hall he had founded was renamed the Temple of the Gods. At first, his followers remained steadfast and abided strictly by the order and the rules he had established.

"However, their ambitions and desires began to show up. For the sake of power and position, they created conflicts. The civil war within the Temple of the Gods caused the collapse of the order and the Great Dao, bringing upon a period of darkness to the vast expanse."

"What happened next?"

"Five gods emerged victorious, and they became controllers of the Temple of the Gods. However, their attitude toward all living beings had shifted from service to enslavement."

Ye Guan sounded solemn as he asked, "What about the Great Dao?"

"Without the First God, the Great Dao developed its own ambitions and desires. The Great Dao was established to maintain the order of the universe, but it eventually became the supreme Great Dao and started manipulating the myriad beings..."

The Great Daoist Brush Master shook his head and said, "In short, everyone has ambitions and desires. Those desires and ambitions had to be culled, or they'd grow wildly like weeds until they had eventually devoured everything..."

After a moment of silence, Ye Guan asked with some confusion, "Why is the Temple of the Gods working with the Past Clan?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master explained, "The gods who won are not from this era, and the current leader of the Temple of the Gods is too ambitious for his own good. It is unfortunate, but he's a few brain cells short, and he's too weak as well.

"The Clan Leader of the Past Clan had promised him that the Temple of the Gods would have their own private chunk of the vast expanse to control in exchange for killing you."

Ye Guan frowned. "Their own private chunk of the vast expanse to control?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master nodded. "Actually, I suspect that the Clan Leader is being influenced by quasi-gods behind the scenes.

"Those quasi-gods have always been looking for ways to reach the First God's level and become true gods themselves. Unfortunately, I have zero evidence, and those pseudo-gods have been missing for a very long time now. I've sent people to investigate them, but there's been no news so far."

Ye Guan asked, "How does one become a true god?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master looked at Ye Guan and replied. "You cannot become a god by proclaiming yourself as one. If you want to become a true god, then you need the acknowledgement of the myriad beings, and they have to acknowledge you from the bottom of their hearts. In addition, they must also be willing to worship you as a god.

"Once those conditions are met, you can then say that you're a true god."

"I think the Clan Leader of the Past Clan is more dangerous compared to the Temple of the Gods," Ye Guan said.

The white-robed woman and the Evil Dao were the strongest enemies that Ye Guan had encountered so far. To make matters worse, Ye Guan felt like the white-robed woman was beyond the Evil Dao.

In a nutshell, the white-robed woman was an extremely dangerous individual!

The Great Daoist Brush Master nodded slightly at Ye Guan's words and said, "Indeed, she poses a greater threat than that of the Temple of the Gods. However, I believe that for now, we should deal with the Past Clan and the Temple of the Gods before dealing with her.

"I even think that we should prioritize the Realm of the Gods, which is under the Temple of the Gods. The Realm of the Gods is extremely vast; It is a universe with countless worlds and billions upon billions of living beings. Upon conquering that universe, we can then begin to establish a new order."

"Establish a new order?"

"Yes. Establishing a new order is like opening up a new path..."

The Great Daoist Brush Master stared at Qin Guan in the distance and smiled. "I believe that Pavilion Master Qin has the same idea, right?"

Qin Guan smiled faintly. "Yes."

The Great Daoist Brush Master was right. She was indeed planning to open up a new path, but it was all for Ye Guan's sake.

Assisting Ye Guan in establishing a completely new order and helping him forge a path for himself was the Time Pavilion's raison d'etre. Qin Guan couldn't just stand idly by, as the following events would affect her son's future.

Ye Guan glanced at Qin Guan beside him, but he did not say anything. However, he felt incredibly warm inside. He had known long ago that his mother had done many things for him behind the scenes. She had never said anything about it and had simply done what she had to do in silence.

The Great Daoist Brush Master suddenly asked, "Are you sure you want to launch an attack against the Past Clan?"

Qin Guan nodded. "We need to take down the Past Clan before anything else. Once we're done with them, we can then handle the Time Reversers."

The Great Daoist Brush Master nodded. "Indeed. When do we begin?"

Qin Guan rose slowly and said, "Now."

Now? The Great Daoist Brush Master glanced at Qin Guan and nodded. "All right."

With that, he turned around and was about to leave when Ye Guan grabbed the Great Daoist Brush Master's arm.

"Wait."

The Great Daoist Brush Master cast a wary gaze upon Ye Guan. "What is it?"

"Well..." Ye Guan sounded innocent as he said," To escape, I had to issue some rewards in your name, and those rewards are strands of Ancestral Origin..."

The Great Daoist Brush Master's expression changed drastically. "No, no, I do not honor any of those!"

Ye Guan smiled wryly and said, "Senior, you'll have to contribute something. Otherwise, our reputation will be completely ruined."

The Great Daoist Brush Master glared at Ye Guan. "Why did you have to issue rewards in my name? Couldn't you use your own name?"

"No one would have believed me if I had done that," Ye Guan replied.

The corners of the Great Daoist Brush Master's mouth twitched.

Ye Guan pulled the Great Daoist Brush Master outside the hall and said, "Senior, you really have to contribute something."

The Great Daoist Brush Master shook his head. "Strands of Ancestral Origin are too precious... I actually don't have any strands."

Ye Guan's expression turned grim as he replied, "Senior, if you were someone else, I would have believed you, but we're talking about you here, after all."

The Great Daoist Brush Master was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"Have you already forgotten who you are, Senior? You're the most extraordinary person to have ever existed. Strands of Ancestral Origin are indeed precious, but I believe they should be easy for you to obtain."

The Great Daoist Brush Master shook his head. "You can't imagine the value of a strand of Ancestral Origin, especially in this era."

Ye Guan asked, "Were there strands of Ancestral Origin in the Old Era?"

"Yes, but they were scarce, even in the Old Era," the Great Daoist Brush Master said. Then, he sighed softly and added, "During the era of the First God, there were countless strands of Ancestral Origin, much like today's spiritual energy.

"However, the internal strife among the higher-ups of the Realm of the Gods, the collapse of that universe itself, and the Great Dao's breakdown have led to the increasing rarity of Ancestral Origin.

"The gods at the time had monopolized them as well, which made strands of Ancestral Origin extremely rare. Nowadays, there are barely any strands of Ancestral Origin, and only a few top-tier supreme elites can acquire a few through special means."

"The gods had monopolized the strands of Ancestral Origin at the time?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master nodded and explained. "Yes, and it's all because they didn't want to witness the rise of supreme elites. Strands of Ancestral Origin were keys to becoming invincible. Without them, the absolute limit at the time was becoming a Sovereign.

"In other words, having control over strands of Ancestral Origin means having control over the number of supreme elites."

Ye Guan nodded in understanding. "I see."

The Great Daoist Brush Master opened his palm and presented a storage ring to Ye Guan. "There are five strands of Ancestral Origin in this ring. Remember, these strands are extremely precious, so you better not give them away so easily."

With that, the Great Daoist Brush Master turned around and walked away.

Ye Guan hurriedly exclaimed, "Thank you, Senior!"

The Great Daoist Brush Master waved his hand before disappearing into the distant sky.

Ye Guan was about to put the storage ring away when a young woman walked up to him. She was none other than Ye An.

Ye Guan hurriedly put the storage ring away.

Ye An calmly said, "Lil Bro."

"Mmm?"

Ye An looked at Ye Guan without saying a word.

"Big Sis, if you have something to say to me, just go ahead and say it..."

Ye An glanced at the storage ring on Ye Guan's hand but remained silent.

Ye Guan said firmly, "Big Sis, stealing is not appropriate between siblings!

Ye An looked at Ye Guan calmly and said, "I'm not that kind of person."

Ye Guan breathed a sigh of relief, but Ye An suddenly said, "I need to borrow something from you. Lend me some strands of Ancestral Origin. Father will pay you back for me."

Little Pagoda was speechless, and Ye Guan was speechless as well—no, he went completely numb.

My father is going to pay it back for you? Damn it! You're the one who's going to borrow from me, and I'm supposed to go and collect payment from Father? Ye Guan couldn't believe that his sister would say such shameless words. It was just too absurd!

"If you don't believe in our father, then surely you'll believe in our grandfather's integrity."

Ye Guan and Little Pagoda were dumbfounded.

Ye An stared at the quiet Ye Guan, "Brother, you won't refuse to lend me, will you?"

Ye Guan thought briefly before opening his palm and sending a strand of Ancestral Origin toward Ye An.

Ye An accepted the strand.

Ye Guan suddenly smiled, "No need to return it; what's mine is yours. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask me. I won't bat an eyelid even if you want to take Master Pagoda from me.

Little Pagoda was speechless.

Ye An looked at Ye Guan. "Are you serious?"

"Absolutely."

"Then, lend me a bit more strands of Ancestral Origin."

Ye Guan didn't hesitate and handed over the storage ring that the Great Daoist Brush Master had handed over to him. Four strands of Ancestral Origin were inside, excluding the strand that Ye Guan had taken out earlier.

Ye An accepted the storage ring and left.

Ye Guan didn't say anything.

After taking just two steps away, Ye An turned to look at Ye Guan. Moments later, she opened her palm, and a storage ring flew to Ye Guan. Ye An did not even wait for Ye Guan's response and left directly.

Ye Guan smiled, but he was stunned to see what was inside the storage ring.

The storage ring contained a whopping ten strands of Ancestral Origin!

Ye Guan looked up and stared deeply at Ye An in the distance. "Big Sis?"

Ye An didn't even look back as she said, "Mother gave me ten strands of Ancestral Origin, and I'm giving you half."

Ye Guan looked down at the storage ring in his hand and felt warm inside.
