Chapter 2217 - 2210: I Can’t Believe I’m Just a Little Brother

Zhang Menglong never expected the Ancient God to reveal so much information.

"The Ancient Humans haven’t been completely exterminated..." Zhang Menglong repeated the sentence, with the image of that Giant of Light appearing in his mind.

Zhang Menglong originally thought it was a symbol of justice and greatness, but it turned out to be completely contrary to his imagination.

No wonder it crushed his Soul without a word and merged with the Soul of the Ancient Humans.

Thinking of this, Zhang Menglong was even a bit terrified. If he found more and more Soul Shards of the Ancient Humans, it could very well someday complete a full Soul of an Ancient Human. Then, summoning a dragon would be impossible, fulfilling wishes would be impossible too. It would likely completely erase Zhang Menglong’s Soul and consciousness, take over his body, and return once more in the form of an Ancient Human.

"Dark! So damn dark!" Luckily, by chance, Zhang Menglong came to this place and completely annihilated that Soul. Zhang Menglong finally understood why the Ancient God despised the Soul of Ancient Humans so much.

"How many Ancient Humans are there in this world?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"I don’t know either. Some Ancient Humans must have been completely erased, even their Souls vanished. Some had their Soul shattered by me, but certain shards have been preserved and are sleeping in special forms. I’m afraid their number is not insignificant," the Ancient God’s voice seemed somewhat fearful.

"Do you have a way to eliminate them?"

"Look at me now, I’ve grown too weak to be of consequence. I created the New Humans in hopes they would find a way to completely eliminate those Ancient Humans. But in retaining their benevolent thoughts, most of their power disappeared as well. Relying on them to eliminate the Ancient Humans is still too difficult."

"Moreover, many Soul Shards of Ancient Humans must have awakened, attaching in various forms to certain people. They only see the power these shards bring them and likely want to find more fragments. Once they gather a complete soul, the consequences are terrifying."

"That’s why, in the end, I found you!"

"Why me?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Because you alone met the conditions I set," the Ancient God answered, "Only a fully merged Soul of Ancient God, Ancient Human, and New Human, led by the Soul of the New Human, can open that door. Those who died were failures."

"But killing them seems too harsh, doesn’t it?" Zhang Menglong couldn’t help but speak up for those people, "Since they don’t fit the criteria, why not just let them go? Why eliminate them completely?"

"It’s not my intention either," the Ancient God sounded troubled, "That Blood Pond is formed from the blood of an Ancient Human’s corpse. There, a Soul Shard hides. Over the years, it has always tried to invade my Soul. I’m too weak, and part of my power has been taken by it. Anyone with a New Human Soul discovered will be wiped out by it using my power."

"You must be kidding, an Ancient God being messed with like this."

The Ancient God remained silent. The current situation was also troubling him.

"Now that I’m standing before you, you must have a mission for me, right?" Zhang Menglong believed that if he set such tests to select people, the chosen one must be forced to accept a mission. "You want me to help you eliminate all the Ancient Human Souls?"

"It’s not about helping me; it’s about helping the whole world!" the Ancient God said, "I have no strength left to do this task anymore. Your Soul possesses infinite growth potential. You have a chance to grow beyond the Ancient Humans’ capabilities, so this matter can only be done by you."

"What benefits can I gain from it? I can’t just accept your mission for nothing. I just want to be a lazy guy who relies on family background to show off everywhere."

"You already possess a Soul with infinite growth. Isn’t that enough?"

"Damn, this was won by me risking my life, not a gift from you, and has nothing to do with this mission. I almost died, okay?" Zhang Menglong was speechless. How could even an Ancient God want to freeload?

"Uh..." The Ancient God was momentarily at a loss for words. He pondered for a moment, "I am still suppressing a Soul Shard of an Ancient God here. If you can devour it, your Soul will be much stronger than now. With your current power, you cannot devour it, but I can help you, giving you over a 50% chance to swallow it."

Zhang Menglong immediately thought of the Giant of Light from the jade shard. Clearly, it could also be a Soul Shard of an Ancient God. When he absorbed its power, his Soul’s strength could nearly match ordinary Realm Breakers.

"Alright, deal!"

"Are you ready?" the Ancient God asked.

"Huh? Ready for what? You didn’t tell me what to prepare!"

But the Ancient God seemed to have reached the limit of suppressing this Shard’s power. Now that Zhang Menglong was here, he couldn’t wait to finish this mess.

Sure enough, at this moment, another Giant of Light appeared in the space. It wasn’t an Ultraman; it was an Ancient Human!

"Hahaha, Ancient God, your power has indeed reached its limit? You can’t even suppress the power of my Soul Shard now!" The Giant of Light seemed to be mocking an existence within this space.

Regarding the provocation from the Ancient Human, the Ancient God had no retort. To the Ancient God, the Ancient Humans were like children he created. Now the child has rebelled, and as a father, he only feels pain and helplessness.

Suddenly, the Giant of Light’s gaze fell on Zhang Menglong, who instantly felt a massive Soul Power pressing him to the point he couldn’t breathe.

"The Soul of a New Human, how can it have the tastes of both Ancient Human and Ancient God? Too dangerous, cannot stay!"

In an instant, Zhang Menglong felt the weight on him increase tenfold, causing his waist to buckle.

"Damn it, hurry up and help! This Ancient Human Soul power is too strong, I can’t handle him!"

"Stop it!" The Ancient God sighed, a warm power instantly enveloping Zhang Menglong, easing his pressure.

"Ancient God, is this the one you’ve been waiting for? Hahaha! With this insignificant power, does he think he can destroy our Ancient Humans?"

"This isn’t your concern; after today, you won’t exist anymore!" The Ancient God’s power instantly formed another Giant of Light.

Under Zhang Menglong’s surprised gaze, the two golden giants began an intense melee.

Their battle was thousands of times stronger than the previous one in Zhang Menglong’s Sea of Consciousness. Just the aftermath of this battle could destroy his Sea of Consciousness hundreds or thousands of times. His strength was so insignificant in front of the Ancient God and Ancient Humans.

Zhang Menglong had always thought he was strong. Now he realized he was just a rookie!
