Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Boom!"

Earth-shattering explosions resounded as Chu Qin gripped the Pangu Axe in both hands, clashing fiercely with the two Buddha's Hands!

In an instant, terrifying energy spread throughout the entire Mirror Universe, all stars completely shattered at that moment, and the mirror created by the Pirate Empress also developed cracks!

Witnessing this scene, everyone watching palpitated, while the Pirate Empress immediately took action, utilizing the Power of the Golden Lotus to repair the Mirror Universe; Luo Gushen, Long Wusheng, and all other Supreme Gods also coincidentally poured their power into the Mirror Universe.

Finally, it was only with the concerted efforts of everyone that they stopped the power of Chu Qin and the Thousand Buddhas from surging into the Middle Ancient Great World!

At the same time, Chu Qin and the Thousand Buddhas decided the winner.

Chu Qin won! It was clear to see that after clashing with the hands of the Thousand Buddhas for ten minutes, the Pangu Axe eventually split open the two Buddha's Hands, and both Sheng Lai and Ru Tian were sent flying away.

With the Pangu Axe, Asura Armor, and many other means at his disposal, Chu Qin reached the realm of the Sky Calamity Supreme God, while Sheng Lai Ru Tian, relying on their combined ultimate technique, briefly stepped into the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.

But at the same level, the combined ultimate technique of the two was still borrowing each other's strength, and there were always moments of flaws. How could it compare to Chu Qin alone?

"Well done!" Upon seeing this scene, everyone stood dumbfounded for a second, and then a thunderous round of cheers and applause erupted!

Earth Store Bodhisattva and Prison Luo Emperor were heavily wounded, the combined ultimate technique of Sheng Lai and Ru Tian was broken, and even the other three Great Elders were unable to break through Chu Qin's clone. Without doubt, this battle was won by Chu Qin.

The Pirate Empress also learned of the outcome; with a wave of her hand, the Mirror Universe crumbled at that moment, and Chu Qin, after reconverging his clones, appeared with the seven Elders in the square.

"What say you, seven Elders?" The Pangu Empress said as she looked toward Sheng Lai Ru Tian and the others.

"We are not as skilled!" the Earth Store Bodhisattva stated first, "We accept the wager and admit defeat."

"Elder Chu Qin, we have lost!" Sheng Lai departed from his usual manner, speaking somewhat decisively, "To lose is to lose, there's no shame in it. From now on, you will be the Supreme Elder of our Ancient Family, and I, Sheng Lai, will be at your command!"

"I feel the same!" Elder Ru Tian said, "Elder Chu Qin, you're overwhelmingly powerful, I am utterly convinced in my defeat!"

"I am flattered!" Seeing how straightforward Sheng Lai was, Chu Qin was naturally not a petty person either, and he replied with a smile.

"Chu Qin, Supreme Elder!"

"Elder Chu Qin!"

Everyone burst into joyous celebration. They had thoroughly witnessed Chu Qin's divine power, and with such a Supreme Elder, the Ancient Family was bound to shine even brighter!

"Wait a moment!" At this, the Pangu Empress suddenly spoke and looked at Chu Qin, "Chu Qin, before you take up the position of the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Family, I have a question for you!"

Sheng Lai, Elder Ru Tian, and everyone else at the scene turned their gaze to the Pangu Empress, and Chu Qin also looked slightly puzzled, saying, "Hmm?"

The Empress rose from atop her Golden Lotus and teleported in front of Chu Qin, "The weapon you just used, was it the Pangu Axe?"

"What? The Pangu Axe!"

"One of the ten great Divine Artifacts of the universe, no wonder the seven Elders stood no chance!"

"The Divine Artifact of Pangu Shidi, how did it end up in Elder Chu Qin's hands?"

At the mention of the "Pangu Axe," everyone became extremely excited.

"I thought that axe looked familiar!" Prison Luo Emperor followed up, "So it actually was the Pangu Axe!"

"Could it be!" Elders like Sheng Lai Ru Tian and a group of elder powerhouses were even more startled!

Chu Qin looked at the Pangu Empress and said with a calm smile, "That's right, it is the Pangu Axe!"

There was no point in hiding it.

However, as soon as Chu Qin's words fell, Sheng Lai, Ru Tian, Earth Store, and the other Elders all knelt towards Chu Qin!

The Pangu Empress also knelt down and said, "Xi E pays her respects, welcoming the return of the Ancestral Emperor!"

Hearing this, although the crowd did not understand its meaning, they all knelt down to Chu Qin and shouted, "Welcome the return of the Ancestral Emperor!"

Chu Qin was baffled!

Since when had he become the Pangu Shidi?

"Pirate Empress, are you mistaken? I am Chu Qin, not the Pangu Shidi!" Chu Qin, looking at Xi E, frowned slightly.

"There's no mistake, Ancestral Emperor!" Before Xi E could speak, Ru Tian said, "Before the Pangu Shidi passed away and left this realm, he had said that one day, he would definitely return, reborn and wielding the Pangu Axe!"

"Yes!" Sheng Lai added, somewhat excitedly, "No wonder, as soon as you arrived, you wanted to become the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Family; it turns out it was you who had returned. If you had said so earlier, not even with ten thousand times the courage, would I dare to contend with you!"

Chu Qin was completely frustrated. What was all this about?

His Pangu Axe was given to him by the System, which also made him the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Family.

How had he suddenly become the reincarnation of the Pangu Shidi?

"Indeed, Ancestor!" Xi E also followed up, "You may not remember, but you are the reincarnation of the Ancestral Emperor returning to us; all of this is predestined!"

At these words, Chu Qin's annoyance grew even stronger.

This misunderstanding was getting out of hand!

"Xi E, all of you, please get up," Chu Qin said with relative composure, "this Pangu Axe isn't mine, I picked it up! But, it can't possibly be returned..."

"Of course, it's yours, and you need not return it," Xi E nodded.

"Indeed, Ancestral Emperor, although the Pangu Axe came to you by accident, there are not many in this world who can wield it. All of this is predestined, and the Pangu Axe is destined to return to your side," Sheng Lai Elder carried on.

"..." Chu Qin was completely exasperated.

Just as Chu Qin was about to speak, Xi E continued, "Ancestor, to prove your identity, please follow me to a place!"

"Where? Let's go quickly!" Chu Qin immediately said to Xi E.

"Ancestor, esteemed Elders, follow me!" Xi E, looking at Chu Qin then turning to Ru Tian, Sheng Lai, and the others.

The crowd watched as they all entered into the Pangu Great Hall, and soon after, the doors of the Pangu Great Hall thunderously closed.

"Aunt Ina, what are they doing with Chu Qin?" Xiaowu asked, a bit puzzled.

"Don't worry, it's not anything bad," Yuè Yīnà smiled and said, "Chu Qin, holding the Pangu Axe, has been mistaken for the Pangu Shidi."

Upon entering the great hall, Xi E led the Elders to the end of the hall, in front of a massive metal wall.

One could see that on this metal wall, there was a sculpture of a disheveled old man wielding a huge axe, almost identical to the statues outside. And below the sculpture, there were twelve differently shaped recesses.

"Do you remember this wall, Ancestral Emperor?" Xi E looked at Chu Qin and asked.

Chu Qin, already at his wits' end, couldn't be bothered to respond.

Xi E, smiling without a word, reached out with her jade hand, and two tokens appeared in her hands, which she then fit into two central recesses.

Following her, Sheng Lai, Ru Tian, Luo Gushen, and others also took out their tokens and placed them into different recesses.

As the last token was inserted, the whole metal wall shone with a brilliant light and then opened down the middle.

Inside, a secret chamber was revealed.

There was nothing in the chamber except for a massive stone in the center, into which a dark red sword was thrust.

The sword was embedded in the stone, leaving only the hilt visible.

"The Sword in the Stone!" Chu Qin blurted out reflexively.
