Lin Chen's three consecutive questions tore away the fig leaf of arrogance from the crowd of gods, leaving the Devouring Ancestor speechless and no one able to respond.

Dark Ancestor's face darkened to the extreme, but he ignored it all: "Boy, don't push your luck. We've already given you enough face by backing down."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other progenitors changed.

Kong Zu glanced at An Zu without saying a word, and Devouring Ancestor also only frowned slightly without making a sound.

Lin Chen suppressed his anger; when facing an enemy, anger is merely a sign of incompetence.

He just looked at Anzu, wanting to confirm if she was serious.

Seeing that the Dark Ancestor remained arrogant and the other progenitors remained silent, the corners of his mouth curled up.

Although Li Zu felt that An Zu's words were inappropriate, he remained silent.

He didn't know Lin Chen well, but he felt that Lin Chen was quite capable and worthy of his respect. However, he couldn't bring himself to offer up his younger brother and sister-in-law to settle old scores.

Lin Chen stared at An Zu and sneered, "Giving me face?"

He continued, enunciating each word clearly: "I'm telling you now, my dignity wasn't given to me by you! I earned it with my own fists!"

"Your concessions don't mean you've come to your senses; it means you can't beat me! There are eight billion lives between us."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Chen's clones appeared one after another. His main body rushed towards the Power Ancestor, while his clones rushed towards the other ancestors.

At the same time, he pushed the Time Dao Fruit to its limit. Except for the Power Ancestor who broke free of the restraints immediately, all the other progenitors were briefly and forcibly controlled, and his clone's fists slammed hard into their noses and eyes...

By the time they broke free from the constraints of the laws of time, Lin Chen had already shaken off the Power Ancestor, left behind a single sentence, tore open a spatial rift, and fled far away.

"You think you can settle this without paying any price? You're dreaming!"

Anzu went berserk again. Her beautiful face was swollen again, her nose was swollen, and her eyes were bruised. She looked even worse than before.

The others weren't much better off; apart from Li Zu who was unharmed, everyone else had black eyes and red noses.

The Illusion Ancestor and the Death Ancestor, watching from afar, were utterly astonished. The Illusion Ancestor exclaimed repeatedly, "Good heavens! This human is incredible! He managed to smash the Fifth Brother and the others' heads right in front of the boss! That's so cool!"

The Death Ancestor stared at her speechlessly. They knew how much the Fifth Brother cared about his reputation, no wonder she dared to use the Eldest Brother against this kid.

Looking at the spot where Lin Chen disappeared, Li Zu sighed helplessly. Although he was not afraid of Lin Chen, he was also powerless to do anything about him.

Thinking of Lin Chen's three questions earlier, he frowned and pondered for a moment before turning his gaze to Ancestor: "Fifth brother, come with me."

Without looking back, it flew towards a distant mountain peak.

Anzu's heart skipped a beat. He temporarily suppressed his anger at being "disfigured" again and followed.

Li Zu stood atop the mountain, without turning around: "When did you become involved with Cangming?"

Anzu paused, his expression somewhat unnatural: "Boss, I don't know what you're talking about."

"The one who lured me away back then, wasn't it you?" Li Zu turned around and stared at An Zu. "He said he had discovered a teleportation array left by Jing Yu and asked me to check it out. I went, but I found nothing. During those three days, Cang Ming took advantage of my absence to attack the World Tree."

Anzu opened his mouth, his fists clenched, neither admitting nor denying.

Li Zu looked at her and remained silent for a moment: "Come back with me later, and don't leave the Divine Realm for now."

Anzu suddenly looked up, glaring angrily at Lizu: "Are you planning to hand me over to that lowly human?"

Looking at the Dark Ancestor's somewhat distorted face, the Power Ancestor was filled with disappointment: "If I really wanted to befriend you, would I have called you aside alone? Our sibling relationship spanning countless billions of years, is this how you see me?"

Anzu showed a hint of struggle on his face, let out a long sigh, and said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, boss."

Li Zu waved his hand: "Tell me the reason. We can't keep you in the dark forever."

Anzu collected his thoughts and revealed the truth: "Cangming promised that after collecting the origins, he could take me away from this world. However, his Boundary-Breaking Pearl can only take one person at most..."

Li Zu frowned: "So you're planning to leave alone, hiding it from your brothers and sisters?"

Anzu pursed his lips, offering no rebuttal.

Li Zu sighed, "Couldn't you have asked him to make more trips? To take everyone out with him?"

Anzu shook his head: "According to him, the Boundary-Breaking Pearl is his master's treasure, and it must be returned after we leave."

Li Zu looked up into the distance, remained silent for a long time, and then turned his gaze back to her: "You want to go find Jing Yu?"

Anzu's heart clenched, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked.

Li Zu's words were like a needle, precisely piercing her most sensitive nerve. She didn't answer, but her reaction said it all.

Li Zu looked at her, as if talking to himself, "Seventh and Eighth Brothers haven't been seen for so many years, they must be looking for a way to leave, right?"

Anzu did not answer, his gaze falling on the distant starry sky, as if flipping through a memory that had not been opened for a long time.

It was the story of a man of exceptional charm who came to their small town and captivated the sisters.

But the man left gracefully, leaving them longing for him for hundreds of millions of years. All they wanted was to leave this place and find him, just to see him one more time.

Seeing that Anzu was lost in memories, Lizu did not press him for details. After waiting a moment, he turned and took two steps down the mountain: "Let's go, let's go back."

He emphasized again, "Lin Chen's revenge will likely continue soon. From now on, stay on Zuxing and don't go anywhere else. Only there can I protect you."

Dark Ancestor's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Boss..."

Li Zu didn't turn around, he just waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving."

The two then joined forces to devour the progenitor and others, and with the Void Ancestor leading the way, they left Hibiscus Star and returned to the Divine Realm.

Dark Ancestor was taken back to the World Tree by Power Ancestor and temporarily protected.

Soon, Li Zu's prophecy came true.

Lin Chen's attempt to reach Jinjuxing failed again; he did not obtain the supplies he desired.

After leaving, he did not go far, but instead turned and headed towards several nearby planets.

The gods in those areas did not receive the order to retreat. Because they were close to the divine realm, the garrison never expected Lin Chen to attack their doorstep directly. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.

The warehouse was emptied again, and any gods who dared to resist were turned to ashes. The original inhabitants were sent into the Creation Pearl.

This completely destroyed the roots that the Protoss hoped to rebuild.

However, the Devouring Ancestor and others reacted quickly, and soon the news of the gods' movements spread.

The first thing to spread was the news that the Divine Race's garrison was shrinking across the board, with strongholds outside the Divine Realm being emptied one after another, and everyone who could evacuate was retreating towards the Divine Realm.
