Hello everybody,
As requested in the comments I will try to go further in details on what to expect for the grind of this achievement, And how you could progress in order to achieve it (without spending money and a lot of your time), but please note that this will be a suggestion based on my game style on this kind of clicker games, You can go trough as you prefer. (using offline methods, etc),--
First: The Heroes --
All* the heroes below are named according to the English language of the game, however they are listed in the same order:
(These are the original prices for hiring without any boost in-game, for level up, you can calculate the last price x 1.07 approx. each time)
Once you had enough Gold to purchase one hero the next one will be "revealed" in your list.

Second: Warnings about ascending --
You might want to consider to wait of making your ascension if you are close to get any of these achievements:
They will ultimately reset your progress when you do a hard ascending (the fast ascending is when you use your 50 rubies to avoid reseting your current progress).
If you find yourself still far away from that point you can chose to do a hard ascension if you don't have enough rubies (that you could have if you harvest in the game for a few hours).

If you spend more than a week to reach this point, your are not progressing your heroes as fast as you can (note, that you need to wait hours to make money anyways, so make sure you are using the hours you sleep in your advantage, [remember to close the game! and not just in standby]).
In this point the Dread Knight will still be out of our way for at least 2 o 3 months of collecting gold, so it's time for ascension setup.
First, level up all your heroes to lvl 200., from that use the x25 lvl up, from that onwards your heroes get a 4x DPS each time they hit a 25-multiple of levels, so expend your money until they are too expensive to keep going (your goal is to reach lvl. 150-170 and around 1600 accumulated level increases before your first hard ascension).
If you read the second part from this guide you might be aware if is your first run, that you are to far away of achieving them, but if you are more advanced in progress, you might want to wait a bit longer before resetting, but that's your call.

Fourth: The Perks of ascending --
If you have meet this part in your first run with at least 1600 levels, you should be around +8... +15 after ascending. Take note that this is really important, if you don't have a good number of heroes souls to ascend, is a waste of time. In my opinion.
By this time you might have collected at least 50 rubies, if you haven't used them.
Please note there are some options in the in-game store:
1- 3 random mutated heroes, 30 rubies
2- +# Heroes Souls + 1 Fast ascension, 50 rubies
3- 3 relics, 40 rubies
4- +$$$$ Gold + skill refresh, 20 rubies
5- Double DPS forever, 50 rubies
4 is garbage and you should not expend money or rubies doing that, at least for now.
1 and 3 are mostly not required cause you will eventually getting as you level up in game.
5 and 2 is our target, as you progress in game the number of heroes souls you can claim will be growing, I can't tell exactly what makes it grow, but it does.
If you have the rubies, purchase it and ascend.
New options will be revealed, the bonus +10% DPS per soul will be applied to your total amount, and the ancestors will show up in your menu (probably relics as well).
The ancestor #1 we need is Dogcog, if is not in the options available, refresh (using some souls). the reason of that, is we we want it to be cheap, 1 hero soul for lvl. 1, is going to be cheaper to level him up, instead if we purchase him with a base price higher.
After that we need to rinse and repeat the progress to collect souls, collect rubies, purchase fast ascension, expend the souls on leveling Dogcog.
Use your hard ascension when you are not able to do fast ascension in a short time frame or if you are not able to go forward on the levels. repeating this process at least 4-5 times with hard ascensions should bring you to level 200-250 and some weeks closer to Dread Knight.
Further steps or suggestions on other ancestors will be added as they are provided.
