Five Ancient Gods, the ancestors of humanity, were all female...
It felt somewhat unexpected, but upon reflection, it made sense. How could they give birth to offspring if they weren't women?
However, thinking this way only made it more bizarre. Did they all give birth from their bellies? Without men, how could that happen?
Wei Chen had always believed that powerful Ancient Gods shaped humanity with their own blood, creating the original five clans of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth. Such gods should be male. But since the fire dragons were all female, Wei Chen suddenly began to think in the direction of women giving birth. Yes, only women could bear children.
Yet he quickly discarded that notion; it wasn't like that at all. Regardless of whether the Ancient Gods were male or female, they shaped humanity with their blood—there was no possibility of actual birth.
Beast God transcended gender; this aligned best with Wei Chen's view of the Ancestral Gods. If they were indeed Ancestral Gods, then it made sense that there shouldn't be a distinction between male and female.
They were born from that formidable universe, where gender distinctions seemed illogical.
And as for the Demon God, he was male...
This realization struck Wei Chen. The attitude of the Giant Fire Goddess towards him—or perhaps her attitude towards the Demon Lotus Emperor—was somewhat strange.
That feeling had emerged when Wei Chen first communicated with the Giant Fire Goddess.
Now that he thought about it, could it be that the Demon God and the fire god had an affair?
Wei Chen dared not dwell on that thought; it would be blasphemy against the gods!
Seeing that Wei Chen and the fire dragon were still engaged in mental communication, Donghua, Shaohou, and the others alongside Ying Qin Supreme Deity had already calmed down. After such a long time, Wei Chen's expressions were varied, while the fire dragon appeared somewhat excited. The fact that they hadn't fought yet indicated that nothing serious was happening.
They eagerly awaited developments, imagining how powerful it would be if they could create another divine miracle and bring that fierce fire dragon out of the Endless Divine Realm as an ally!
In reality, their expectations were on the verge of becoming a reality. Moreover, the benefits that Wei Chen gained far exceeded what they had imagined.
For Wei Chen, perhaps having the fire dragon join as a powerful ally wasn't even the most important aspect; what truly mattered was the information he obtained from the fire dragon.
Wei Chen felt an endless longing for the realms and the Great Realm, as well as the more mysterious and powerful First-Level Spatial Plane. He had a vague sense that this so-called First-Level Spatial Plane was not only his origin but also his true home.
The Demon Lotus Bloodline within him had influenced his thoughts in various ways.
While inside the Source of Fire Flower, the Demon Lotus flew out from his Dantian, swirling around the Heart of the Fire God. This action appeared to be a tender touch, but in reality, it was delivering a massive amount of Demon Lotus energy to the Heart of the Fire God. If it weren't for this, the Heart of the Fire God wouldn't have revived so quickly.
However, the Demon Lotus itself suffered greatly; Wei Chen felt an emptiness within his Dantian, as if his body was being hollowed out. The Demon Lotus had drained too much power, marking a state of utter exhaustion.
Although the Fire God did not express gratitude to Wei Chen, he understood that this was how things were.
What Wei Chen was still uncertain about was whether the Demon God, one of the Ancestral Gods, was indeed the Demon Lotus Emperor. He believed that if he continued to develop, he could certainly become the Demon Lotus Emperor; this was the confidence bestowed upon him by the Fire God.
The Fire God's attitude towards Wei Chen was complex—there was a hint of respect for the former Demon Lotus Emperor, disappointment at how weak the current Demon Lotus Emperor seemed, and disdain for how the Demon Lotus Emperor submitted so easily without any manly spirit.
The Fire God's feelings towards Wei Chen could not be easily summarized in just a few words.
Regardless, he had established a connection with the Fire God. The Fire God would remain in Wei Chen's True God World for some time to recuperate, so there would be opportunities to clarify things later.
In Wei Chen's mind, his identity as the Demon Lotus Emperor was a certainty, and there was over a ninety percent chance that he was indeed the Demon God. Once something has over a ninety percent probability, it is practically guaranteed.
After pondering for a long time and sorting through his thoughts, Wei Chen carefully tucked away those unresolved issues in his heart and turned to look at Shaohuang God King and Taihao God King along with their seven companions. Seeing their calm expressions alongside Ying Qin Supreme Deity eased his mind somewhat.
He had been so busy chatting with the fire dragon that he had forgotten about them.
"Alright, fire dragon, let's enter my True God World. Make sure to absorb as much of the Fire Divine Power as you can when you get the chance. Grow six arms, eight arms, or even ten or twelve arms; that's how you can truly become formidable," Wei Chen communicated to the fire dragon.
The fire dragon replied, "I have a name, but it's a bit complicated. Do you want to know?"
"Of course! My name is Wei Chen; you can call me big brother from now on," Wei Chen said with a chuckle, feeling pleased with himself for having such a powerful fire dragon call him big brother.
The fire dragon responded, "Big brother, my name is Augusto. In our Fire Dragon Clan, some have the surname Ao and some have Gu. Due to some special and complex reasons, my name combines both surnames into Augusto."
"Hehe, how complicated can it be? It's just that your father’s surname is Ao and your mother’s surname is Gu," Wei Chen said with a smile.
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Augusto looked at him with admiration in his big eyes and asked in surprise, "Big brother, how did you know? My name really came from that!"
"I can also guess that in your Fire Dragon Clan, the Ao and Gu surnames must not get along; they are probably rivals, right? Your parents' stubborn union brought you into this world, which is quite fortunate."
Wei Chen casually remarked, not expecting to hit the nail on the head...
Augusto's admiration for Wei Chen instantly surged like an unending river.
"Come on in! My True God World portal is already open. If we keep delaying, my friends and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity from the Endless Divine Realm will be unable to wait any longer. We need to hurry back to the Endless Divine Realm; there’s so much for us to do," Wei Chen urged as he opened the True God World portal, prompting Augusto to enter quickly without wasting any more time. Shaohuang God King and Ying Qin Supreme Deity were truly getting impatient.
In their minds, they had seen those who could chat, but never someone who could chat this much...
Wei Chen and Augusto had been talking for quite a while; indeed, it had been a bit long.
"Big brother, how big is your True God World?" Fire Dragon Augustus asked.
"The Fire God occupies a central area of about one hundred thousand miles, and the remaining space spans approximately three hundred thousand miles. For now, that's all there is; I apologize for the inconvenience," Wei Chen replied lightly.
Hearing this, Augusto was astonished. "It's that big? You only have such a small Divine Realm! Your True God World is many times larger than those of the top-tier powerhouses in the realm."
"Well, I think it's still manageable. One Fire God occupies that much space; if a few more come along, there won't be enough room. However, once my strength increases, my True God World will definitely expand; that's obvious. I suppose it will get bigger then."
After listening to Wei Chen's words, Fire Dragon Augustus responded speechlessly, "Big brother, don’t think about it too much. Do you really expect other Ancestral Gods to enter your True God World? I don’t know what your bloodline is, but as things stand now, they are all high and mighty gods. The chances of encountering them are almost negligible. Moreover, among the Five Ancient Gods, due to their differing attributes, they are actually quite discordant. But they are mutually influential; as the saying goes, mutual generation and restriction—there won’t be inexplicable fights."
"Let’s wait and see; maybe I’ll get lucky and run into all five Ancient Gods," Wei Chen said with a smile.
Fire Dragon Augustus added, "The Lord of Fire seems to be in some weakened state. When she arrived at the Fire Clan Secret Realm, she startled me greatly. I wanted to greet her but felt too lowly in status to do so; I could only wait."
"Later on, I gradually learned that the Lord of Fire was severely injured and only had one Heart left while recuperating in this Fire Clan Secret Realm. I thought it would take her a long time to recover some strength. Perhaps because of your arrival, her recovery time has been expedited; she can even regain her true form to enter your True God World for seclusion. Your methods are truly remarkable!" Augusto exclaimed in admiration.
Wei Chen said, "Don't try to pry information from me; I don't know anything. But can the Ancestral Gods really be injured?"
"Although the five Ancestral Gods and the Beast God shaped not only the humans and beasts of our universe but also those of nearby universes, they are still capable of being hurt at times," Augusto replied, glancing around nervously as usual.
If you’re going to act like a thief, at least don’t look so guilty; otherwise, it’s easy for others to see through you.
Perhaps the Fire God had no intention of intercepting the mental communication between Wei Chen and Augusto, but after witnessing Augusto's sneaky demeanor, it became difficult to ignore.
Wei Chen asked, "Aren't gods supposed to be omnipotent? How could they get injured?"
Augusto responded, "Brother, I can't speak for others, but our Beast God has been severely wounded before. He fell into the Great Realm and took several hundred million years to recover before he could leave."
Pausing for a moment, Augusto added mysteriously, "Also, the Demon God who is rumored to have disappeared... perhaps he is dead?"
At Augusto's words, Wei Chen felt a jolt run through him. Dead?
According to Wei Chen's speculation, he could very well be the Demon God! If that were the case, then he couldn't possibly be the Demon God anymore.
A sense of loss suddenly surged within Wei Chen.
"Enough with the nonsense; let's go," Wei Chen urged Augusto as he entered his True God World.
