Primordial God Of Time-Chapter 42: Calling The Ancestors To Battle...

After telling the elder everything that had happened, the old man couldn’t help but frown.

"This demon is truly something else," he said furiously. "If only we had eliminated the threat back then, when it was still growing... none of this would be happening."

He paused before continuing grimly.

"It seems its abilities have improved drastically. Previously, it only had one Gu worm that slowly turned people into nutrients for its own growth. But now... now it has another Gu—one that can greatly enhance others’ strength. If this creature breaks through to a higher realm, its Gu worm may evolve again, and it might gain yet another worm with an even more terrifying ability. We must put an end to it now."

As soon as Grandpa Ju finished speaking, he turned to Kranos and said in a voice that none of them could hear except for Kranos, "young man, come and tell me how you were able to kill that subordinate of his that had an immortal body."

Kranos was momentarily startled by the sudden voice in his ear. But upon realizing it came from the elder, he lowered his guard slightly.

"Should I speak it out loud?" he asked. Since he didn’t possess a sound transmission technique, he had no other option. The surrounding elders blinked in confusion but quickly surmised that Kranos and the elder must be communicating.

"Feel free to do so," Grandpa Ju replied with a nod. "I’ve already set up a barrier. No one else can hear us."

"Alright." Kranos took a breath. "I discovered that the man possessed a type of Gu worm—the second kind I mentioned. The so-called immortal body wasn’t truly immortal. Its weakness was the Gu worm itself. No matter how unkillable the body seemed, the worm had a fragile point. I destroyed it... and he wasn’t able to regenerate anymore

Grandpa Ju nodded thoughtfully at Kranos, narrowing his eyes slightly. That was such a brilliant idea. Previously they didn’t think about this but now with this knowledge they would at least know a spot to target.

Without another word, Grandpa Ju turned to his grandson. "Go and gather Ko and the others. We have one final battle to fight together." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Ju Ming’s expression hardened. "Yes, Grandfather!" He spun and ran from the room without hesitation.

Ko, Ming, and Tu—those were his grandfather’s old comrades from the battle ten years ago. While some had perished from grievous injuries, Ko and Ming had survived. Ming, in particular, was the one who’d set up the array protecting the safe haven to this day.

Though Ju Ming hadn’t visited them in years, he still remembered where they resided.

After giving his orders, Grandpa Ju addressed the remaining elders. "All of you—go and prepare for battle. Meet me outside the array." As soon as the elder finished speaking, his figure rapidly blurred, his speed was so fast that Kranos could barely keep up.

Kranos decided to follow along but he didn’t dare step out of the barrier, he didn’t want to receive another gaze from the demon. This time he might really die. He didn’t know if he had a chance to rebirth again. This might just be his final death.

Using his space element, Kranos flashed rapidly through the city. The City Lord’s Mansion was purposely built near the array’s location to provide rapid reinforcement. Upon arriving at the edge of the array, Kranos sat down cross-legged and entered meditation, waiting for the others.

A few minutes passed.

"Young man, how’s the outside world?" a voice suddenly asked from beside him.

Kranos’s eyes snapped open, instantly alert. He turned to his right and found Grandpa Ju standing calmly beside him, staring into the distance.

"What outside world?" Kranos replied, feigning ignorance.

"You don’t need to pretend," the old man said with a chuckle. "I know you’re not from this world. Your profound techniques and mysterious skills... they resemble them. And that robe—don’t think I didn’t recognize the design. You all belong to a certain sect, don’t you?"

Kranos couldn’t help but smack his forehead internally. "how did you know?" Kranos asked. Even with the few clues he’d let slip, it wasn’t something the average person could deduce.

"That’s right," Grandpa Ju said with a nostalgic look. "When I was a young boy, I saw people in robes just like yours. Back then, they brought cultivation techniques, spirit herbs, and all sorts of resources. They changed our world. Thanks to them, mortals like us could finally cultivate."

Hearing the old man’s words, Kranos was shocked; he didn’t think his seniors would do such good. He seemed to not have brought anything. Well, he didn’t know, he didn’t respond and just kept silent. The old man began recounting his own cultivation journey, how he’d started from nothing, how his peers had fought and died for this safe haven and so on. He spoke of secret realms and tempering zones those outsiders had created long ago.

Kranos listened quietly. When asked, he also shared a few things about the outside world—the little he knew, since he hadn’t experienced much of it himself. They were engrossed in each other’s tale when a gentle yet teasing voice interrupted their discussion. it was a lady.

"Old man, are you still telling fairy tales to children at your age?" a woman said with a laugh.

"Ming!" Grandpa Ju turned and smiled warmly. "It’s good to see you again. I thought the next time we’d meet would be in the afterlife."

Ming smiled faintly; she too didn’t think they would battle one last time. "Don’t worry, old man, i will watch your back like i’ve always done," she replied with a casual smile.

Grandpa Ju laughed heartily; Ming was still as funny as always...

"Won’t you introduce me to your child? I see what you’ve been doing all these years." ming said turning to look at Kranos.

Grandpa Ju smiled slightly, then spoke, "this is Kranos. He is... not from this world, just like the others back then,"
