You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Lin Yue's figure vanished into the darkness.

As the space rapidly twisted and distorted, by the time the light returned to his eyes, he found himself standing within a somewhat dimly lit great hall.

The hall was incredibly spacious, with its four walls built from blocks of greenstone. These walls bore numerous lifelike and mysterious reliefs. Giant stone columns thick enough to require several people to embrace them supported the vaulted ceiling, upon which were inlaid countless Bright Pearls forming the sun, moon, and stars—glorious and regal, they conveyed a sense of grandeur and majesty.

This was evidently the antechamber of the Great Yu Imperial Mausoleum. Deep within, one could see a colossal bronze gate, from where a chilling aura seeped out.

"Finally..."

A somewhat familiar sigh suddenly broke the silence.

Lin Yue abruptly looked up and saw that atop the vaulted ceiling of the tomb chamber, the sun, moon, and stars coalesced into beams of light that shaped into a familiar figure.

A majestic man garbed in beast skins stood before him, his eyes, startlingly, were those of a mysterious double-pupil.

"The Human Ancestor?"

Lin Yue could not help but feel his pupils contract slightly in surprise.

"The Human Ancestor?" The double-pupiled majestic man gently shook his head and said, "I am the spirit of this Great Yu Imperial Mausoleum's tomb chamber. My appearance was simply fashioned this way when my creator brought me into being."

"Who is your creator?" Lin Yue asked.

"You do not know?"

The tomb spirit replied with confusion: "Do you not know my master is the current Crown Prince of Great Yong?"

"The Crown Prince?" Lin Yue fell silent for a moment, then found it made sense.

The Crown Prince was an unrivaled entity within the Yong Realm. It would be impossible for him not to know of the mausoleum beneath the Imperial Palace's Yao Shen Lake.

The barrier on the bronze gate at the entrance to the former dynasty's mausoleum was incredibly high—its vast and boundless sentiment was like that of the heavens. If it was arranged by the Crown Prince, it would be normal.

However... by this account, the Crown Prince should know that he had entered the mausoleum.

"Why did the Crown Prince model you after the Human Ancestor?"

Lin Yue couldn't help but ask, "Is there a connection between the Crown Prince and the Human Ancestor?"

The tomb spirit gave him a look and solemnly declared, "The Crown Prince, Your Highness, is the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor. Do you mean to say you didn't know this, yet you were still able to enter?"

"The Crown Prince... is the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor?"

Lin Yue was taken aback.

He had heard early on that the Crown Prince was unmatched in Martial Arts Talent. Lin Yue had suspected that the Crown Prince might be the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor who invented martial arts, since others could scarcely dream of possessing such aptitude.

However, with the soul of the Human Ancestor in the Eternal Darkness Reincarnation Coffin he carried with him, Lin Yue had always been uncertain.

But now it seemed that perhaps the Human Ancestor had a Second Primordial Spirit.

"Who else in this world could possess such Martial Arts Talent if not the Human Ancestor?"

The tomb spirit said: "The Martial Family of the Great Yu Imperial Family is the direct-line Bloodline Descendants of the Human Ancestor. Because they played a key role in awakening the Human Ancestor, after the reincarnation, seeing the annihilation of the Martial Family, he rebuilt the Imperial Mausoleum for them."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue suddenly had an epiphany.

Indeed.

The former Great Yu Imperial Family had been annihilated, with only the Empress surviving.

Now it was the era of Great Yong, and the former dynasty's State Preceptor, who had close ties to the prior era, had never entered Great Yong. The Empress had not rebuilt the mausoleum for the Great Yu Imperial Family, so who else could have done so?

So, it must have been the Human Ancestor Himself, who was an ancestor of the Martial Family!

The Human Ancestor had also mentioned that among his children, there was one named "Yu."

The Martial Family of the Great Yu Imperial Family named their nation after "Yu," perhaps they were the descendants of that branch?

"You just said that the Great Yu Imperial Family played a significant role in awakening the Human Ancestor?" Lin Yue asked.

Previously, he had felt that the Great Yu Imperial Family had been disrespectful to their progenitor. But it now appeared they had actually played a vital role?

"Of course."

The tomb spirit, hovering in the air, said: "The Human Ancestor, having absorbed the Taichu Divine Power, was pulled into the dream realm formed by it and fell into a deep slumber for tens of thousands of years, unable to awaken himself until the Great Yu Imperial Family found him. They gradually extracted the Taichu Divine Power until they found someone who was born in harmony with it. Only after releasing the Divine Power did the Human Ancestor awaken."

Lin Yue's heart stirred at this revelation and asked, "Someone who was born in harmony with the Taichu Divine Power? Who was that?"

"I'm not sure, as I do not hold that memory,"

The tomb spirit slightly shook its head and said, "But that person must have died by now."

"Why?" Lin Yue inquired with puzzlement.

"Taichu Divine Power is the genuine and ultimate power of the Ancient Times' Divine Beings, originating from the single, primordial entity at the dawn of heaven and earth—Taichu."

The tomb spirit sighed: "It is said that back then, that person was merely at the Harmonization Level and didn't comprehend the Ultimate Path. Even though compatible with the Taichu Divine Power and able to absorb it, ultimately being of the Eternal Night Clan, how could they wield the supreme Taichu Divine Power? The end result... was nothing more than being assimilated as a part of Taichu's essence."

Lin Yue mused for a moment and asked, "The Eternal Night Clan cannot wield the Taichu Divine Power?"

"That's an impossibility,"

The tomb spirit confidently stated: "The Eternal Night Clan is despised by Taichu itself, representing the antithesis of Eternal Night. No matter how powerful one might be, at best they can only draw the Taichu Divine Power into their body. But if they foolishly attempt to refine and command it, they are merely seeking their own death."

It couldn't help but lament, "Not even the Human Ancestor can manipulate the slightest bit of Taichu Divine Power. What more of others?"

"If one understands the Ultimate Path, could they then wield the Taichu Divine Power?" Lin Yue inquired.

"That would certainly be possible,"

The tomb spirit nodded slightly, then shook its head with a sigh, "But the Eternal Night Clan would never grasp the Ultimate Path. No matter how much they try, they can only get close. A miss is as good as a mile..."

"What about the Demon Clan?" Lin Yue posed another question.

"The Demon Clan," The tomb spirit replied, "is fundamentally still the Eternal Night Clan, and even lower in status. They would never receive the guidance of Taichu. However, as vassals of mutant beasts, they are still part of Eternal Night. If they can grasp some of the Ultimate Path, they might barely control the Taichu Divine Power."
