Chapter 878

Gu Chen told Sun Jinming why he had come to the Ape Planet. Sun Jinming was silent.

"Brother Gu, it's not that I want to pour cold water on you, but I'm afraid you won't be able to take Little Ancestor away," he said after a long while.

"What status does White Ape have in the Heart Ape Tribe? Why do all of you call it Little Ancestor? "Gu Chen muttered.

"Although he looks very young, in terms of age, he is indeed Little Ancestor."

Sun Jinming smiled bitterly, "Brother Gu, do you remember the conversation about Little Ancestor's origins when you went to Nanling more than a decade ago?"

Gu Chen nodded, "Of course."

Back then, Gu Chen had gone to Nanling to suppress Huangfu Wuji, intending to form an alliance with the Nanling Fey race. At the same time, he had investigated White Ape's origins.

By chance, he had entered the Fey God Ancient Land and learned that 85,555 years ago, the gods had descended on the Kunlun Continent. The Fey God suspected to be White Ape had also descended.

After that, he had a conversation with Sun Jinming and the High Priest of the Ape race. He had learned of White Ape's origins.

According to the High Priest, 85,555 years ago, the Fey God had walked out of the ancient land and enlightened the Nanling Fey race. After that, he had suddenly disappeared.

From then on, there would be rumors of White Ape's appearance every once in a while. However, he could not remember anything about the Ape race.

Whether White Ape was the Fey God or a descendant of the Fey God, this had always been a mystery to the Nanling Fey race. Gu Chen had never gotten a clear answer.

"After I came to the Ape Star, I learned the ins and outs of the Little Ancestor's descent into the Ancient Dark Yellow Star. I also confirmed that the Little Ancestor is the Demon God of the South Mountains." Sun Jinming sighed and slowly explained everything he knew to Gu Chen.

It turned out that in the Primordial Era, Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor was the first Heart Ape.

Rumor had it that he was like the two Desolate race brothers, born from chaos.

From the day he was born, he was extremely talented and stood at the peak of his race.

However, the Ape race he was in was not the same. In the Primordial Era, the Ape race was a very weak race. They could not even compare to ordinary great Fey, much less the four fierce beasts.

Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor was dissatisfied with this, so he gathered the various branches of the Ape Tribe and founded the Heart Ape Tribe.

The reason why he named it the Heart Ape Tribe was because he hoped that the Ape Tribe would be able to achieve eternal freedom in this world. They would be able to do whatever they wanted and not be restrained by the Heavenly Dao or any human power.

Under the leadership of Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor, the Heart Ape Clan grew rapidly and became an indispensable force in the Immortal World.

However, due to some issues, Heaven's Equal Celestial Emperor and the Celestial Court in the Celestial World had a falling out. From then on, he withdrew from the Celestial World and established his own sect on the Ape Planet.

After that, something that shocked the entire universe happened.

The Celestial World collapsed, the Celestial Thearch died in battle, and the Celestial Emperors disappeared one after another.

Although Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor had already left the Celestial World, he was still brooding over the collapse of the Celestial World, so he went to investigate.

Who would have thought that after that, the Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor disappeared as well. Before he disappeared, he did not leave behind any descendants.

"Since the Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor did not leave behind any descendants, why does the lineage of the Heart Ape still exist?" Gu Chen was shocked.

"After the Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor disappeared, it was said that the Heart Ape Tribe became a pile of loose sand. In addition, after the Immortal God Chaos appeared, the Divine Realm went crazy and hunted down the forces of the Celestial World. Even the Heart Ape Tribe, which had already withdrawn from the Celestial World, was met with an unexpected calamity. It could be said that the Heart Ape Tribe was in a precarious situation and was on the verge of destruction.

"At this time, on the Ape Planet, an extremely small number of members of the Heart Ape Tribe underwent changes. First, their fur turned white like Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor's. After that, their eyes turned golden and a third eye grew on their foreheads.

"It seemed that the Immortal Emperor had blessed them. Five members of the Heart Ape Tribe transformed into the Heart Ape Tribe. Although the weaker ones did not transform into the Heart Ape Tribe, they still possessed some mystiques of the Heart Ape Tribe. This was when the Battle Lineage was born. The other Lineages, such as the Tongbi, Six-Eared, and Vajra Lineages, also had their bloodlines strengthened.

"Under such a miracle, the Heart Ape Tribe, which had lost Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor, survived the Immortal God Chaos and became a famous fighting race in the various star domains."

As Gu Chen listened to Sun Jinming's words, he was extremely astonished.

There was actually such a thing in this world. If the transformation of the Heart Ape Tribe was really the blessing of Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor, then his cultivation level must have reached a level that was completely unimaginable to him.

"From the beginning of the Heart Ape Tribe's transformation, the number of Heart Apes has always been maintained at five. It has not increased or decreased. They are the publicly acknowledged leaders of the tribe and are related to the rise and fall of the entire tribe. We call them the Five Ancestors.

"The cultivation methods of the Five Ancestors are very strange. After they transform into the Heart Ape Tribe, they will quickly grow to the peak and become the leader of the tribe. But after that, they will fall into a strange cycle of reincarnation. "

"Reincarnation?" Gu Chen was deep in thought.

"That's right. After the Five Ancestors reach the peak of their cultivation level, they are unable to break through and will enter the cycle of reincarnation. They will experience four stages: childhood, growth, prime, and old.

"Once they enter the cycle of reincarnation, they will forget their previous memories. It is as though they have been reincarnated. The process of reincarnation is extremely dangerous. But if they can survive it, they will become even stronger when they reach the peak again. "

"What if they can't survive it?" Gu Chen's eyes flickered.

"If they can't survive it, it is said that they will die. A new Heart Ape will be born on the Ape Planet and become one of the new Five Ancestors."

As Sun Jinming said this, Gu Chen took a deep breath.

He finally understood. The white ape was indeed the demon god from 85,555 years ago. It was just that it had entered the cycle of reincarnation.

Gu Chen recalled that the white ape had forgotten about him. Could it be that it had entered a new cycle of reincarnation?

The cultivation method of the Heart Ape was too strange. It was equivalent to reincarnation after reincarnation. It was unheard of.

"Brother Gu, I have said so much. You should understand the importance of the little ancestor now, right?"

"It is said that if the Heart Ape dies outside of the Ape Planet, a new Heart Ape cannot be born on the Ape Planet. And the Five Ancestors are indispensable. It is said that even if the entire tribe dies, it does not matter. As long as the Five Ancestors are alive, the Heart Ape Tribe will never perish.

"There is a saying that the Five Ancestors are the inheritors of the Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor's will. When they gather together, one day, they will become the Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor. Many people in the Heart Ape Tribe believe this because the Five Ancestors all have the Primal Chaos Eye. And Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor was born from the primal chaos. "

After Sun Jinming finished speaking, Gu Chen fell silent.

He already knew the origin of the white ape. It was more important than he had imagined!

As one of the Five Ancestors, it was currently in the cycle of reincarnation. If it left with him and died outside, it would be an unbearable loss to the Heart Ape Tribe.
