Ancient Godly Monarch Chapter 1817 - Grim Reaper

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian entered the Heavenly Dao Library, there were many people entering and exiting here. Those who went to the sacred academy to seek the dao would definitely come to the Heavenly Dao Library. There were no exceptions. Before the thirty-three immortal realms, no matter how strong an expert might be, he would still be tiny and inconsequential in comparison. All of them wanted to take a look at this vast sea of knowledge stored here.

There were guardians here at the Heavenly Dao Library. Usually, other than cultivating, the only thing they had to do was protect this place and also compiling newly recorded incidents.

One must not look down on these library guardians. If you wanted to know who was the most familiar with events in the thirty-three immortal realms, these ancient guardians would definitely rank near the top.

In fact, there were even some guardians who held onto their posts for over ten million years and they were still willing to remain here. Their understanding of the history of the thirty-three immortal realms were second to none.

After Qin Wentian entered, he glanced at the instruction monument and discovered that the top level of the library was really the storage place for recording of events in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. This was very normal. However, what made him surprised was that the second level from the top was actually used for the events of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. Such an arrangement by the sacred academy, he couldnt help but wonder if there was any deeper meaning behind this.

Or maybe, Azure Mystic was the only immortal realms remaining that wasnt controlled by a hegemonic power from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms yet.

Qin Wentian continued climbing the stairway, heading for the two levels at the top. Although he was also very interested in the other immortal realms, the amount of information here was simply staggeringly immense. It was impossible for him to look through them one by one. In any case, the two realms he wanted to enrich his understanding about the most, were the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms.

After coming to the second level from the top, he discovered that this level was much smaller when compared to the levels below it. It was as though the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy has the least number of recordings with regards to Azure Mystic.

This was also understandable. After Ancient Azure Mystic was destroyed by that world-ending battle, it was completely sealed away. After that, there was nothing in Azure Mystic worthy of being intentionally paid attention to and recorded by the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy. In fact, maybe the sacred academy couldnt even be bothered to pay attention to them.

Qin Wentian entered the level, the classifications were clearly listed on the shelves. For example, the Various powers in Azure Mystic Immortal Realms; the major characters in Azure Mystic Immortal Realms; strange events in Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, etc. Finally, he found a bookshelf that was labelled, World-ending battle of Azure Mystic.

The ancient world-ending battle was in a separate bookshelf by itself and had many ancient scrolls on it.

Qin Wentian stretched his hand out and opened one of the scrolls. His immortal sense gushed forth into it and soon after, the words of the record appeared in his mind, incomparably clear and distinct.

This is an introduction to the background of the world-ending battle. After finishing reading it, he returned it to its original position. Just like what the ancient heavenly deities have told him, all of the other thirty-one immortal realms have already been dominated and were now controlled by the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. The only exception was Azure Mystic.

Many hegemonic powers would set up branches in the other immortal realms. For some of those more ambitious ones, how could they be willing to see a fat piece of meat like Azure Mystic remain untouched? They naturally desired to control it too. Hence, the world-ending battle occurred. But of course, the introductory background recorded in this ancient scroll was much more detailed than the one he read before in the Askheart Temple.

Many heavenly deity-ranked powers who participated in the world-ending battle now no longer existed. From this, one could tell how ancient this event was.

Qin Wentian quietly continued reading through the scrolls and he gradually learned the names of the heavenly deities in Ancient Azure Mystic. Among these heavenly deities, there were quite a few whose introduction was extremely lengthy. An example was the Imperishable Heaven Lord. She was the symbol of faith for Ancient Azure Mystic, a true goddess that was unexcelled in the world.

Other than her, the ancient records also mentioned a character that the wills of the ancient heavenly deities have never mentioned to him before.

This legendary character was given the name Grim Reaper, in the ancient records kept by the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy.

During the world-ending battle, the two most dazzling characters were the Imperishable Heaven Lord, as well as Grim Reaper.

The various enemy heavenly deities started the world-ending battle, wanting to destroy Azure Mystic. The Imperishable Heaven Lord chose to fuse herself with the heavens and earth and just when everyone thought that this cruel world-ending battle was about to conclude, the Grim Reaper suddenly appeared and slaughtered his way into the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. He led an army of death spirits and was like the embodiment of the word apocalypse, slaughtering several of the various heavenly deity races and clans that participated in the world-ending battle of Azure Mystic. For heavenly deity-ranked powers, the number of their population have reached millions upon millions long ago. The Grim Reaper went there and wiped them all out, completely obliterating his targets. After that, he vanished from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and has never appeared again since.

It was precisely because of the Grim Reapers existence that the various heavenly deity-ranked powers decided not to occupy and control Azure Mystic. That world-ending battle was a true calamity. It was a calamity not only for Ancient Azure Mystic, it was also a calamity for several of those heavenly deity races and clans. How brutal was that? And after that incident, Azure Mystic was sealed away.

From then on, not one power dared to invade Azure Mystic again. No one was willing to offend the Grim Reaper. They had no idea who the Grim Reaper was and none of them were confident enough to face off against his army of death spirits.

After Qin Wentian familiarized himself with this history, his heart trembled with emotions. So it turned out that, that world-destroying battle didnt simply lead to Ancient Azure Mystic being destroyed. A few heavenly deity-ranked powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were wiped out as well. Naming it as the world-ending battle was truly apt.

As to who was right and wrong, Qin Wentian also didnt know how to judge. In truth, it was because of greed that the heavenly deities of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms wanted to dominate and control Ancient Azure Mystic or there wouldnt have been the world-ending battle. If they didnt attack Azure Mystic, the Grim Reaper wouldnt have slaughtered his way into the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms as well, causing so many people to die.

Grim Reaper. Qin Wentian mumbled in a low voice. He couldnt help but to think of a certain person. Could he be the Grim Reaper mentioned in the ancient records?

After he finished reading the scrolls detailing the world ending battle, Qin Wentian turned his attention to the other shelves. He didnt understand much of the history recorded hence he chose to give up. He then left the second level and headed to the top level of the library instead.

When Qin Wentian entered the top level, he instantly sensed the difference. This level was too vast, it was the largest level out of the thirty-three levels in the Heavenly Dao Library. After all, the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms was known as the upper world, the leader of all the immortal realms. They had the largest amount of territories, the largest amount of experts and the longest history. There naturally would be countless records.

The top level was divided into eight great sections, equivalent to the eight regions in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Heaven, Earth, Mystic, Yellow, Universe, Eternal, Chaos and Desolate.

Each of the sections in the top level of the library, contained countless books, tomes and ancient recordings.

Qin Wentian went to the Heaven section first. There were many segregations, but Qin Wentian was only keen on the various powers in the Heaven Region. Finally, he found it and he saw the information about the Qin Clan.

This was one of the two powers he wanted to understand the most. The Qin Clan was the clan his father was from. From a certain perspective, it was his clan too. Sadly, right now he had an unresolvable grudge with the Qin Clan.

Just the introduction of the Qin Clan took up an entire bookshelf. This peak power that had survived for countless years, had many legends worthy of being recorded. The supreme geniuses of each generation naturally had their information recorded as well. How can the records about them be little?

Qin Wentian started browsing from the left-most area. He took this very seriously. He flipped through the records and continued reading. Although his reading speed was very fast, he didnt miss out on anything. Time slowly passed by and finally, Qin Wentian saw the content he wanted to see.

There were many branches in the Qin Clan, and they can all be classified by their strength. For the core factions, there was only a few branches. These branches were the foundation of the Qin Clan and they had always produced numerous supreme characters.

For example, characters that were known as battle gods for their combat prowess Qin Tiangang and Qin Ding.

These two were cousins, and were also twin heroes of their generation. The battle god Qin Tiangang was invincible and has never been defeated before. He aided the Qin Clan in conquering vast amounts of territories and his name shook the sky. As for Qin Ding, he was as extraordinary as Qin Tiangang too. Sadly, the heavens are unfair. One of these two legendary characters had an extremely bad ending.

Qin Tiangang and his wife had lost their lives while exploring a secret realm. They left behind an orphan who would go on to become a legendary character of the next generation Qin Yuanfeng.

Because he was an orphan, although Qin Yuanfeng had displayed extraordinary talent since he was very young, he was always suppressed by another. This other person was none other than the heaven chosen of the Qin Clan, the son of Qin Ding, Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng was fated to be extraordinary when he was born. For the branch clan he was in, that faction was extremely powerful. That, in addition to his extraordinary talent, he was immediately nurtured as one of the future successors to the Qin Clan. However, there would often be many unpredicted changes. There were rumors in the Qin Clan saying that before Qin Tiangang and his wife died in the secret realm, they found a supreme treasure and had passed that to their son, Qin Yuanfeng.

As for this point, the records kept in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy werent that detailed but many of the other things that happened later did correspond to what Qin Wentian knew before this. In fact, the information in the ancient records were not as detailed as what he knew. After all, the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy could only record these events after they happened, it was natural that they didnt know many of the finer details within.

Now, Qin Wentian already knew what his grandfathers name was. It was Qin Tiangang.

And back then, his father Qin Yuanfeng was the same as him. They grew up as orphans. From this, he could very well imagine how much his father had to suffer. Qin Wentian could only sigh at how unfair fate was. If his grandfather Qin Tiangang was still alive, maybe the successor to the Qin Clan wouldnt be Qin Zheng, it would be Qin Yuanfeng instead.

Qin Wentian flipped through many of the wondrous incidents that had a connection with his grandfather. He felt hot blood burning in his veins when he read them, but the more this was so, the greater his hatred was. His grandfather was someone that could be considered a pillar of the Qin Clan, he aided them to conquer many territories but after he died, how has the Qin Clan treat his son? Qin Yuanfeng?

The reality would always be so cruel. The things the Qin Clan owned him and his family, Qin Wentian would definitely make them repay it.

Qin Wentian continued reading, there was naturally no information about him in the records but he saw information about the legendary Heavens Son, Qin Dangtian.

After he finished reading, he placed the ancient scrolls down and his emotions calmed down. He walked towards the Desolate Section and began to browse information about the Luoshen Clan. This place had ancient records about his maternal grandfathers past deeds as well as his uncle, the Skyorder Heavenly Deity who was once a legendary character in the Desolate Region.

However, regardless of the records about the Heavens Son or Skyorder Heavenly Deity, both mentioned that Qin Dangtian, the Heavens Son, represented his father Qin Zheng in battle and crippled the Skyorder Heavenly Deity.

Qin Wentian was also very serious when he browsed through the information of the Luoshen Clan. After he finished reading, he sighed for a long while as indescribable emotions filled his heart. After that, his immortal sense gushed out as he began to search for other interesting records. A period of time later, his immortal sense scanned a certain location.

The ancient records about the Battle Saint Tribe was there!
