As Zen arrived at the edge of the primitive land, he approached the huge plants which resembled
bamboo shoots with great caution.
When these plants reached their current size, their cyan color faded and was replaced by a golden
sheen. They appeared very sturdy and strong.
Just as Zen was about to move closer, the plants in the shape of bamboo shoots that had intertwined to
resemble dog teeth suddenly separated and began to snap at Zen within a few seconds.
Zen was not prepared and barely had any time to dodge. His whole body was bitten, ground, and
chewed to pieces by the teeth.
Luckily for him, it was just an avatar.
"Buzz!"
On the continent at the center of the primitive land, Zen's avatar condensed again. He appeared angry
and disgraced.
In the past, he had always had complete control over his inner world though it was still quite small.
Now that it had expanded, he couldn't believe that he was bound to it instead of the other way around.
"Do you want to fight with me?" Zen challenged, looking into the blood mist in the sky.
Just then, a thick cloud of blood mist floated in the air above him like an animal taunting its prey.
"Then come on!" Zen's said coldly.
All of a sudden, he had an idea.
The continents floated in the sky had linked to one another.
As long as he remained on these continents, Zen was omniscient. He had to use this to his advantage.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
As the continents connected, Zen stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air.
The newly combined continent rose and eventually, reached the highest point of the primitive land.
Before Zen knew it, the blood mist that came from the ancestry-level bloodline hovered right above his
head.
Zen slowly stretched out his hand and immersed it in the blood mist, "Seize it!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
A powerful storm formed at the center of Zen's hand.
"Whoosh!"
With one toss, the storm swept up and with astonishing speed, sucked the floating blood mist within
seconds.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
The ancestry-level bloodline wouldn't go down without a fight.
It morphed into blood red winged bugs in an attempt to escape the storm.
However, a storm created by the all-powerful creator could not be resisted. This was the general rule of
any inner world.
Though this was a special case as the primitive land was wrapped around the inner world, the rule still
applied within the range of the continent.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Eventually, as a large amount of the blood mist was sucked into the storm, the storm became tinted
with red.
On that note, the ancestry-level bloodline counterattacked.
The plants in the shape of bamboo shoots at the edge of the primitive land turned and pierced towards
the continent. All of a sudden, thousands of stalagmites sprouted from the bottom of the primitive land
and shot straight up into the sky!
If no one put a stop to the plants and stalagmites, it would only be a matter of minutes until the entire
continent would be smashed into pieces.
However, just as they approached the continent, Zen's eyes flashed and an invisible space wall
appeared at the edge of the continent.
His almighty abilities made the space wall indestructible.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The plants in the shape of bamboo shoots rushed towards the space wall but could not penetrate it.
The stalagmites that grew from the ground met the space wall and shattered!
"Though you are powerful, this is my inner world. I am still in charge here!"
"Whoosh..."
The storm that was once a small ball in Zen's hand spread out and covered more areas. He controlled
the continent to move in the primitive land as it absorbed all the ancestry-level bloodline it could find.
Drip, drip, drip...
Once the blood mist was completely sucked into the storm, it returned to Zen's palm and became drops
of viscous blood.
Before, Zen could do nothing to the ancestry-level bloodline. When the bloodline was driven mad, it
took control of Zen's body without hesitation.
Now that Zen brought the ancestry-level bloodline into his inner world, the tables had turned.
The ancestry-level bloodline that gathered into a ball formed into a bloody human. It reached out and
grabbed Zen's chest.
"Puff!"
The hand grasped Zen's chest and turned into threads that drilled through Zen's body. He was sliced
into a thousand miniscule pieces.
It was a good thing that this was only Zen's avatar. Within a moment, another avatar appeared and
grinned at the "bloody man".
"Puff!"
The bloody man showed no mercy. He raised his hand, gripped Zen, and began to slice through the
avatar once again.
Not long after, Zen's third avatar appeared. He decided to go with a different approach. "We should sit
down and have a good talk."
He had a feeling if he'd attacked, the same thing would have happened again. When Zen spoke calmly,
the bloody man calmed down. He did not attack Zen again, but he did not respond either.
Zen let out a huge sigh of relief.
Ever since he fused with the ancestry-level bloodline, Zen exerted much effort to communicate with it.
However, the ancestry-level bloodline always ignored him and acted on its own thoughts.
Now, the bloodline no longer resisted his communication.
Zen raised his hand and two chairs appeared before them. He gestured for the man to sit before he
made his way to his own chair.
The bloody man silently looked at Zen and sat down. The moment he sat down, he mimicked Zen's
body but was still made up of blood.
"If it weren't for the primitive land, you'd be no match for me," the bloody man spoke out. Not only did
he mimic Zen's body, but his voice, too.
The ancestry-level bloodline could analyze all kinds of energy and deal with any bloodline power, no
matter how strong they were.
Now that it was connected to the primitive land, it became bound to the rules. This was the main
reason Zen could take it back when it was merely blood mist. If not for the primitive land, even if Zen
were ten times stronger than he was now, he wouldn't have been able to do anything to the bloodline.
"Ah, so you could talk even before? Why did you keep silent all the time?" Zen asked with smile.
Spiritual creatures could gain extraordinary wisdom after they lived a long time. The ancestry-level
bloodline was no exception to this.
"Because I had to observe you well," the bloody man said, emotionless.
"Observe me for what?" Zen raised an eyebrow.
"To see if you are trustworthy," the bloody man nodded.
After the ancestry-level bloodline was brought back by the Bird Spirit King Sheehan, it had been
trapped in the Eternal Divine Courtyard. During those years, the Four Spirits Sect kept exploiting its
power.
It had no clue where it came from nor whom it belonged to. The bloodline spent its life aimlessly.
When it decided Zen was an excellent host, it wasted no time and immediately integrated with him.
As Zen carried the ancestry-level bloodline, the bloodline reconstructed Zen.
"You have become a part of me. Don't I deserve your trust?" Zen said welcomingly.
The bloody man coldly glanced up at Zen and looked back down. "In a world that has been
downgraded, no one could be trusted. Not even you..."
"Downgraded?" Zen shook his head in confusion, "What do you mean?"
The bloody man sighed and continued to explain, "If a creature in the main world becomes a creature
in the chaos, it has been downgraded. After the Monkey Masters died, they became Treacherous
Beings. That, is a kind of downgrade."
