Chapter 5100: The Skull
Yunyun remained confused as to why their great progenitor continued to pass this skull down. It should have been something like an immortal item.
âBack to me again.â Li Qiye sighed.
He had previously obtained it back in the nine worlds but lost it after causing the calamity. Purewood Divine Emperor came across it and sealed it.
âWhat is it?â She asked.
âA skull that does not belong to any current race.â Li Qiye said.
âI seeâ¦â She murmured: âWhy did our progenitor leave it behind?â
âThatâs a good question. Answer this first, why did your progenitor create Primal?â Li Qiye smiled.
âAs an inheritance and a legacy?â She said. This question was acceptable since more often than not, this was why top masters would create lineages.
This applied to Heaven Burial Conqueror and Luminous Conqueror.
âAre there any traces of Purewood Divine Emperor in your lineage?â Li Qiye asked.
The question was obviously no since they didnât know anything about their progenitor previously.
âIt is to remember someone, or perhaps two.â Li Qiye said.
âDo you know who?â She asked.
He sighed and said: âDivine Ancestor and Trinity Ancestor.â
She murmured the titles and was not aware of these beings, at least not in their records.
âWho are they?â She said softly.
âTrinity Ancestor, is that the creator of Trinity Against The Heaven?â Yunyun asked.
Li Qiye smiled and glanced at the throne, and so did she.
âNo, just similar in names, the formation is related to someone else.â
âWho is it?â She asked.
âPrimal Ancestor.â Li Qiye told her after a short pause. [1]
âAre these ancestors related?â She asked.
âTheyâre from the same era.â To which he responded.
âIs there more to this than just the timeline?â She inquired further, feeling that these ancestors might be more connected than that.
âTheir ancient bloodlines.â Li Qiye said.
âAh, Peacebringer Trinity?â She recalled something he had brought up to Firerage before.
âYouâll find out one day.â He stopped the conversation here.
She didnât ask more questions after seeing him not wanting to continue. [Ref] The lore can be often vague because the only one in the know is Li Qiye and he/the author try to be mysterious. If I spot confusion that might have been due to inaccurate translations, I will explain it in a footnote when necessary[/ref]

Meanwhile, the lower continents were still dealing with the aftermath of the great powersâ destruction.
Everyone thought that Li Qiye was the culprit. After all, he was the only one strong enough. Moreover, they also believed that he had killed Conceal Conqueror.
The brilliant Conceal Conqueror still couldnât escape death - some found this regrettable since she couldnât fulfill her potential.
The Race had a terrible time accepting this since they lost their top masters and sects. Now, they had a tough time standing proudly before those from The People.
Furthermore, Li Qiyeâs supremacy became unanimous. No dao lineage would dare to challenge him now.
Today, a divine beam descended into Reincarnation and interrupted their conversations. All three continents started shaking violently.
âThatâs their ancestral mountain, right?â Someone asked.
âA conqueror is descending.â A dragon lord stated.
âFrom the upper continents?â The big shots could tell what was going on.
âIndeed. Swordgraspâs beacon was lit so the two alliances up there must have received the news. They are sending someone down to scout.â The dragon lord said.
This caused everyone to take a deep breath. Divine and Heaven Alliance were part of Celestial Court. This could escalate to a dangerous point.
Those from The People became anxious while their adversaries rejoiced. The latter had been feeling oppressed by Li Qiye but now, there was a chance to rise again.

The beam could be seen in Eight-stallion as well.
âA conqueror from the upper continent.â Conceal Conqueror said.
âAnother fun show is starting.â Li Qiye smiled before asking: âDo you want to help them?â
âWhat do you think I should do?â She asked.
âDonât forget that you are already dead, killed by me.â Li Qiye said.
âI understand.â She nodded.
1. The names are so similar and I did a search to see if they had appeared before. I only found Primal Ancestor during the coronation chapters, not the other two. As always, since there is virtually no context, the names are subjected to changes â
