The Era of Gods-Chapter 686: The Power of the True Nether Ancestor
```
As it turned out, the confidence of Biphosphorus Clan Leader was misplaced; he focused too much on the Golden Giant God wanting to descend but neglected the many wizards of the Wizard Alliance Army within the Seventh Fortress.
Although the Seventh Fortress was in the rear and not guarded by many Rank 6 Sun Wizards, and its strength was not formidable enough to threaten Rank 8 beings, they did not need to threaten this Mushroom Men world guardian from the Clan of Biphosphorus. Merely causing interference was sufficient.
Many Dawn Wizards and above inside the fortress restarted the Witchcraft Formation and began to construct a new large-scale sorcery. Tens of thousands of Official Wizards worked together and completed the new formation in just one day.
The energy fluctuations produced during the test alone caused the complexion of the Biphosphorus Clan Leader to change slightly, and Lin Xiao burst into loud laughter.
Five short days later, under the powerful interference of the Seventh Fortress’s sorcery array, Lin Xiao used the Rule of Balance to create disturbances and the Time Law to generate time turbulence, disrupting and briefly shielding his perception.
By the time Biphosphorus Clan Leader reacted, Lin Xiao had already taken the opportunity to crawl out from the spatial rift with half of his body, now able to exert nearly half of his strength.
That half of his strength was already enough to slowly enter, forcefully against the whole world’s resistance.
Now, full resistance could only slow down his entrance, the trend was unstoppable, and his descent was inevitable.
Seeing this, after continuing to resist for two more days, Biphosphorus Clan Leader decisively withdrew. At that point, Lin Xiao had not fully descended and was temporarily unable to catch a Rank 8 powerhouse intent on leaving.
Two days later, Lin Xiao officially descended. The body of the Golden Giant God, over eight thousand meters tall, stood on Earth, his hand gently caressing as clouds swirled around his waist.
A swarm of small black dots, like mosquitoes, flew to within several thousand meters of him but could no longer advance. Those were many wizards from inside the Seventh Fortress, who came to pay their respects with immense reverence.
Lin Xiao had little interest in feigning politeness with them. He simply looked in the direction of the Seventh Fortress, where over a dozen Spirit Clan Descenders were hiding inside, not daring to come out.
He reached out with a giant hand towards that direction, and the Descenders hiding within a building felt the entire world pressing down on them. An indescribable force easily burst their protective artifacts and defensive witchcraft. Accompanied by a series of screams, the Descenders were crushed effortlessly from dozens of kilometers away.
The building where they had been hiding remained unscathed; even the furniture they sat on was undamaged, demonstrating his exquisite control of strength.
After doing this, he took large strides forward. Each step spanned six to seven kilometers, and with each step, the Earth shook violently. The towering Golden Giant God slowly disappeared from the wizards’ view.
"Phew!"
All the wizards breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other but did not know what to say.
On his journey, Lin Xiao made no attempt to conceal his presence and paid no mind to the Mushroom Men or other wizards he occasionally encountered on the way.
Having entered this world by force, he was constantly under the suppression of the world’s will, but without the World Guardians’ control, the forces that could easily crush a Dawn Wizard into dust were now useless against him, like a breeze brushing his face.
When he finally reached the vast plains deep in the world, what he saw was a scattered camp. Inside, he did not sense the presence of a Child of the Spirit Realm.
"Quite the runner!"
Without heading towards the camp, Lin Xiao turned and walked towards the center of this world, towards the direction of the King City. He could sense that the world’s guardian was still there, waiting for him.
Other guardians might flee, but the World Guardian could not leave this world for long without relinquishing the title of Chief Guardian. Before leaving the Wizard World, Lin Xiao had already transferred the Chief Guardian’s authority to Abertanir, who had just advanced to Rank 7.
As the reincarnation of the Old Sorcerer King, he easily won the recognition of the world’s will and inherited the title of Witch King.
So after Lin Xiao emerged this time, he had no plans to return. After dealing with the Fungus World and pursuing the Child of the Spirit Realm, he would directly enter the Depths of the Void. Following the coordinates that appeared in his mind when he ascended to Rank 7, left by the Emperor of Myriad Forms for him, he would search for the Tomb of Myriad Gods and conclude this contest.
Although he was unsure of the current strength of the Phoenix and Shadow Wind, he estimated with ninety-nine percent certainty that they were not his equals. He had absolute confidence in claiming the final inheritance of the Emperor of Myriad Forms.
Of course, the many wizards who were still in the camp preparing the Transport Sorcerer Array could see the mountainous divine peak-like Golden Giant walking by. His terrifying presence kept them from daring to come near. Although some leaders saw the familiar face of the Golden Giant from a distance, the viewing was not clear because of the vast distance. With the head having a diameter of seven to eight hundred meters, the features were somewhat blurred. They failed to recognize him immediately and could only watch, with pounding hearts, as the Giant took steps that resonated fearfully, slowly leaving.
A month later, the Allied Forces, which had been withdrawing, suddenly felt the entire world seething with anger. Soon after, the world’s suppression on them weakened, and many experienced wizards from different worlds instantly understood that an existence had slain the guardian of the Mushroom Men’s World and was devouring the world’s essence.
"The world is so vast, yet I devour it in one bite!"
With a massive inhale, the enormous Golden Giant God devoured half of the essence of the Mushroom Men’s World.
With half of the world’s essence gone, even if he left, the remaining Mushroom Men would be unable to resist the invasion of the Wizard World. The Wizard World, having plundered enough resources, estimated it could give rise to several Rank 7 wizards. Even if the Black Gold Tree Emperor and another Rank 7 Biphosphorus returned, they would be unable to fend off the invasion of the Wizard World, and defeat was inevitable.

Conquering a world as powerful as the Wizard World meant that its many conquered worlds would subsequently fall into the hands of the Wizard World; once fully assimilated, the Wizard World would undoubtedly grow stronger.
Leaving in this manner brought Lin Xiao some peace of mind, and it could be considered as a way to repay the Old Sorcerer King for his care, as well as the many benefits he had received during his time as the Witch King.
It was difficult to enter a world that harbored hostility, but leaving was easy. Ripping open a massive spatial rift once again, the World Will of the Mushroom Men eagerly ushered him out as if expelling a plague.
His immense strength was a burden to the world in itself, and any Different World would be extremely unwelcoming of such a mighty being not native to their world.
Entering the Void, the colossal Titan God Body found that all restrictions and hostilities disappeared in an instant. Lin Xiao stretched out his body, and the berserk Void Energy that approached him was immediately subdued by the omnipresent Rules surrounding him, turning into harnessed energy that he absorbed and made a part of his own strength.
So powerful that his Black Hole Talent had become instinctual, he could maintain this ability at all times without turning into a black hole, devouring surrounding energy and Refining it.
With the formidable might of his second True Body, he could forcibly refine almost any kind of energy, including the berserk Chaos Energy from beyond the Crystal Wall Universe.
His gaze turned towards a patch of darkness in the Void, which appeared pitch-black, yet in Lin Xiao’s vision, there was a silver trail that continued all the way into the Depths of the Void.
That was the trail left by the numerous Children of the Spirit Realm as they withdrew. The majority of the True Underworld Council members had been part of the Allied Forces within the Wizard World, originally planning to plunder resources on a grand scale during this battle. Yet, due to these unexpected events, they had all withdrawn in one go. Now, less than a thousand Children of the Spirit Realm remained in the Wizard World, all too weak and unworthy to Conquer the Outland, thus posing no threat.
The ferocious Void Energy could melt away the remnants of their presence, but not erase the traces of their existence.
Like a mountain, the Golden Titan Giant God stepped into the Void, braving the berserk Void Storms as he ventured into the distance.
Leaving the world of the Mushroom Men and entering the Void brought the dissolution of all constraints. Lin Xiao felt the consciousness of Tishar, which had been dormant, awakening once again. Sensing that he was in the Void, her soft voice sounded in his ear:
"Without the filtering interference of the World Crystal Wall, the gaze of the Ancestor of the True Underworld can project onto most parts of the Void. I cannot offer you additional strength in the Void or before the minions of the True Ancestor."
The steps of the Titan Deity paused, and with a hint of anxiety, Lin Xiao asked:

"Is the Ancestor of the True Underworld nearby in the Void?"
"He is not, but His power extends to this part of the Void."
Tishar’s gentle power flowed through his heart, consoling him:
"My dear, you needn’t worry. As long as I do not appear or showcase my power, and as long as you don’t face the True Ancestor directly, He will not be able to detect you."
Lin Xiao nodded, somewhat relieved, and resumed his journey. As he navigated the Void, he inquired:
"If you have the leisure, tell me about the True Ancestor of the True Underworld — for instance, what authorities does He wield?"
"The Ancestor of the True Underworld holds the authority of truth, absolute reality. Nothing in the world can escape His sight."
"Truth?"
Lin Xiao understood why Tishar, an innately born Ancestor, could not defeat a newly risen Ancestor; for the Ancestor of the True Underworld held the authority of truth, which was essentially the nemesis of the dream powers that Tishar controlled.
It was also fortunate that she was an innate Ancestor; had it been an Ancestor achieved later, facing such an adversary who countered their bloodline would result in a ninety percent chance of being killed on the spot, likely without even a chance to flee.
However, the authority of the True Ancestor counteracted powers like dreams and Illusion Techniques only and did not have an advantage over other Ancestors. This meant His power wasn’t particularly strong among Ancestors.
Yet, coupled with His status as the Son of God realm, which granted Him a certain enhancement in power, His real strength would likely rank in the upper-middle tier among the Ancestors.
Still, He wasn’t particularly strong. Against other Ancestors with strong authority, He would be at a disadvantage, hardly befitting His status as Son of God realm.
But regardless, He was an Ancestor, and to beings below that level, the crushing defeat from Him was without question. Such was the qualitative gap between these two tiers, and no being had ever been heard of that could rise against a great divine power of the same rank or an equivalent great being — they couldn’t even withstand a direct confrontation.
Even if Lin Xiao, who had inherited the Ancestor’s Mark from the Emperor of Myriad Forms and held two Ancestor’s Marks, could not fend off a casual flick from the True Ancestor’s True Body.
Not a hundred could. It was a difference in essence.
