Chapter 4199: Joyful Tragedy 🎭

Published: January 7, 2025

Qin Chen saw the anxious expressions of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon and the Blood River Saint Ancestor and quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Master, it seems we have gone from joy to sorrow," the Blood River Saint Ancestor trembled as he spoke.

The Primordial Ancestral Dragon also stuttered in fear, "What’s going on? Why have we indeed condensed our physical bodies, yet cannot grow stronger? Has the power of creation been exhausted?"

"That’s not right, not right. Clearly, there is still plenty of creation power in this world. Why can't we absorb it?" The Primordial Ancestral Dragon was on the verge of tears.

After listening for a while, Qin Chen gradually understood that the Primordial Ancestral Dragon and the Blood River Saint Ancestor had indeed absorbed a large amount of creation power and had even condensed their physical bodies.

However, after they condensed their physical forms, they were unable to absorb any more of that creation power.

The two of them were momentarily dumbfounded.

"So, are you two stuck in this tiny form?" Qin Chen asked, looking at the palm-sized mini Primordial Ancestral Dragon and Blood River Saint Ancestor, feeling a bit dazed.

Is this how Little Ant and Little Fire's brothers look?

"But, they are quite cute," Qin Chen laughed.

The Primordial Ancestral Dragon, on the verge of tears, said, "Qin Chen, can you not joke around at a time like this? It's driving me crazy. My physical body has shrunk so much; how can I walk outside in the future? If other female dragons see me and call me little brother, what should I do?"

Pff! Qin Chen almost spat out blood. Am I joking? Are you serious?

You've become this small, and instead of figuring out how to break free, you're thinking about how to pick up girls.

Your… your heart is too big.

Qin Chen said solemnly, "Observe carefully and see if you really can’t absorb it. What exactly is the reason?"

"I’ve observed, but I just can’t absorb it. I don’t know the reason. It seems that the creation power that previously surged in has suddenly been blocked," the Primordial Ancestral Dragon replied.

"Blocked?" Qin Chen frowned. Who could block them?

The Primordial Ancestral Dragon and the Blood River Saint Ancestor were either primordial beings or Chaos Demon Gods; who could stop the two of them from absorbing power?

Even though they had taken physical forms, their soul power was so strong that even the Yuanmo Ancestor wouldn’t necessarily be able to suppress them.

Qin Chen wasn’t just guessing.

After all, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon and the Blood River Saint Ancestor were both in the Chaotic World, and Qin Chen was very clear on how powerful their soul powers were, like an ocean of souls. When Qin Chen had barely touched it back when he was in the venerable realm, he nearly lost his life, being saved only by the ancient book.

If it weren’t for the ancient book, Qin Chen feared he would have scattered into nothingness.

He looked up! Qin Chen gazed at the sky.

Suddenly, he felt a stir in his heart.

He understood.

"I got it," Qin Chen suddenly said.

The Little Dragon transformed by the Primordial Ancestral Dragon and the Blood Shadow transformed by the Blood River Saint Ancestor both looked over.

Qin Chen squinted, "It should be this Ancient Universe Tower that is blocking you from absorbing the creation power."

Ancient Universe Tower?

The two powerful beings were astonished.

Thinking about it, it really was possible.

Aside from this Ancient Universe Tower, what else could block them?

The creation power definitely existed, yet they couldn't absorb it. If it wasn't this Ancient Universe Tower, then what could it be?

After all, the Ancient Universe Tower was extremely mysterious. It was rumored that even the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable couldn’t refine it after billions of years, and even the Carefree Supreme couldn’t control it.

Aside from this Ancient Universe Tower, there seemed to be no other possibility.

But even realizing this, Qin Chen was still shocked.

What exactly was the origin of this Ancient Universe Tower?
