I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2412 - 2411: Space Ancient God Di Jiang, the Call of the Ten Great Ancient Gods
The Holy Ancestor watched as Xu Zimei was gradually consumed by space, letting out a cold sneer.
This time, he was fully prepared, leaving Xu Zimei not a sliver of a chance.
Even though Xu Zimei managed to avoid the Heavenly Net Earthly Trap outside, the inheritance itself was fraught with danger.
That inheritance had already been arranged by the Holy Ancestor through space banishment.
In due time, Xu Zimei would be eternally banished into the deep void.
Without any coordinates, he would never return to the Nine Domains World.
By then, he would be accompanied only by endless loneliness and void.
This is the terror of void banishment, a profound understanding achieved when the Space Ancient God wielded space power to its fullest.
Just like the Ancient Demon Cave.
Though they always concocted various ways to return after being banished, they never succeeded.
Unless someone from the inside escorted them.
Otherwise, from the outside, there was no solution.
And Xu Zimei now faced the same situation.
He felt a sense of weightlessness in his body.
As if he had plunged into an infinite abyss.
Xu Zimei wanted to resist, but the more he resisted, the deeper he fell.
Eventually, he stopped resisting altogether.
Deciding to see how long this feeling of banishment would last.
Time is indeterminate; without a reference, the passage of time may never be felt.
Ximei felt this way now.
He realized he was in an unknown darkness with no light, no time, no space.
Everything had come to a standstill.
Unsure how much time had passed, Xu Zimei found the sensation of weightlessness unending.
As if it would continue forever.
He frowned slightly.
He tried to sense the Divine Continent and, thankfully, could still feel it—one of the few pieces of good news.
But regarding anything about the Nine Domains World, he sensed nothing.
This made Xu Zimei frown slightly.
He tried every method imaginable, all to no avail.
Gradually, he grew agitated.
Such a blow was rare for him.
If he had indeed been defeated, he could accept that outcome.
But being banished, as if being worn down slowly by a dull knife, was an outcome Xu Zimei could not accept.
Yet the more anxious he became, the less he could think of a solution.
Finally, having exhausted all methods, Xu Zimei felt somewhat disheartened.
Would he really have to spend the rest of his life on the Divine Continent?
He forced himself to calm down.
There must be a way.
"The inheritance of the Space Ancient God," Xu Zimei pondered if he had anything related to space.
Thinking long and hard, nothing came to mind.
Then suddenly, a lightbulb went off in Xu Zimei's head.
"That's right, how could I forget this?"
He indeed had nothing related to space, but he had many things associated with Ancient Gods.
He possessed the inheritance of nine other Ancient Gods.
If there was a connection between the Ancient Gods, perhaps this was his way to break the stalemate.
With this thought, Xu Zimei began trying to connect with the other Ancient God inheritances.
This connection led Xu Zimei to discover something different.
At this moment, there seemed to be a mysterious resonance among the inheritances of the nine Ancient Gods.
Each inheritance emitted a faint glow.
Xu Zimei leveraged the power of the nine great Ancient Gods and realized that the Space Ancient God could banish everything, even his own Great Dao.
Yet, he did not banish the power of the other Ancient Gods.
At this moment, nine different currents of power surged within Xu Zimei, turning into a tempest that began to rage.
As if nine rivers flowed through Chang'an.
Nine different inheritances transformed into nine different powers, coursing through Xu Zimei's body.
"Rumble, rumble."
Like the waters of the Yangtze River cascading down from the Ninth Heaven.
All rivers and mountains converged as if flowing into the sea.
Xu Zimei could clearly feel his body could move.
Under the command of the nine Ancient Gods' power, he finally broke free of space's shackles, able to control his body freely.
The sensation felt immensely satisfying.
Xu Zimei stood in the void, gazing at the surrounding nothingness.
Next, he needed to find the coordinates of the Space Ancient God's inheritance.
Once the inheritance was in hand, the banishment would no longer affect him.
Yet locating the inheritance's coordinates was the most challenging task.
Because after being banished by space, the deep layers of space were numerous; one might never traverse all these spaces in a lifetime.
Space could be constructed infinitely and endlessly.
Without a clear goal, it was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Yet at this moment, driven by the other Ancient God inheritances, Xu Zimei could faintly sense the location of the Space Ancient God's inheritance.
This was far from being the most challenging issue for him now.
Xu Zimei's figure swiftly leaped into the space.
His speed was so fast that within a few breaths, he jumped through hundreds of spaces.
Finally, as the guidance grew clearer.
As he was within arm's reach.
He looked up.
There in the firmament, a Space Eye appeared in the void.
The Space Eye quietly watched him as if there was something about Xu Zimei that piqued its interest.
Xu Zimei knew that the Holy Ancestor had fully mastered the power of the Space Ancient God's inheritance.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to banish Xu Zimei.
But the eye before him was not the Holy Ancestor's.
Though without proof, Xu Zimei had an inexplicable hunch.
This was the eye belonging to the Space Ancient God Di Jiang.
Though the Ancient Gods had long perished, their era had passed more than a hundred thousand years ago.
Even their fame had become unknown.
However, Xu Zimei understood that, like the other Ancient Gods, perhaps within his inheritance, the Space Ancient God retained a sliver of awareness.
Perhaps the commotion from other Ancient Gods within Xu Zimei attracted the Space Ancient God.
The eye simply watched him.
After some time, two torrents shot out from the Space Eye, piercing through the void and landing on Xu Zimei.
Like the other Ancient Gods, the Space Ancient God had his own story.
The Ten Great Ancient Gods each walked ten different paths.
No matter which path, they all aimed to reach the pinnacle.
Just as the Time Ancient God tried to freeze time to achieve immortality.
Meanwhile, the Space Ancient God believed space was the ultimate power.
It could construct worlds or anatomize the spatial walls of the Nine Domains World, facilitating their departure from this world.
He was obsessed with space.
The power seemed to naturally belong to him.
He developed spatial construction, banishment, destruction, confinement, among other powers.
But until one day, Di Jiang realized he had reached the end of his path.
He could create a world through space, but it was lifeless and couldn't truly sustain life.
