Led by the Ficang Race Venerable, Lin Yan felt a sudden illusion before his eyes, and then he instantly teleported several light-years, arriving directly near the surging, colorful, dreamlike river.

Only upon closer inspection can one see that this is not a river, but rather a collection of countless Aurora of five colors. Each Aurora is about 10,000 kilometers long, and their immense power is awe-inspiring.

"This must be one of the universe's most powerful Supreme Treasure —the 'Five-Colored Aurora Lake'!" Lin Yan's eyes lit up.

As one of the very few Ultimate Supreme Treasure in the Primordial Universe, how could he not know the reputation of the "Five-Colored Aurora Lake"?

Although it looked like a river from light-years away, if you could look down from above, you would find that it is actually an almost circular, endless lake with a maximum diameter of 10 light-years. In fact, it is a Domain-type Ultimate Supreme Treasure!

Ultimate Supreme Treasure are extremely rare. Even the "human race," which is currently listed as one of the Six Great Peak Races, does not possess a single Ultimate Supreme Treasure!

Moreover, it's Domain-type?

The top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure "Azure Star River" in Lin Yan's hands, which is still within the category of treasures, is already worth more than many Ordinary Supreme Treasure, which speaks volumes.

The Five-Colored Aurora Lake is composed of endless Aurora, possessing boundless power! Any single Aurora, once unleashed, is enough to severely injure Universe Venerable.

"You do have some knowledge." The Ficang Race Venerable glanced at Lin Yan and praised with a smile, "That's right, this is the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, Supreme Treasure guardian of our Ancestor God Cult!"

"With this Supreme Treasure protecting our faith, even the Lord of the Universe, who roams the universe, would not dare to trespass on my Ancestor God Cult. No matter how powerful the inheritor is, if they dare to violate the rules, they will be killed in one blow!"

The Ficang Race Venerable pointed to the Five-Colored Aurora Lake: "Do you see it? Purple Thorn Island is right there."

Lin Yan looked over.

There was indeed an island there, but it appeared very blurry under the endless Aurora.

"That's the outermost edge of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, and also where you, the Beast God Inheritor, reside— Purple Thorn Island!"

The Ficang Race Venerable looked at Lin Yan and said:

"Let me tell you some common sense... Killing is prohibited within the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. If you try to kill someone, you will be attacked by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake immediately. If you have Soul Servant, except for the palace you built on Purple Thorn Island, once you go out, you will also be attacked by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and instantly Annihilation."

"Of course, life forms with dependent attributes, such as Plant Lifeform and Metal Lifeform, are not a problem."

"You have the Beast God Inheritance Token, which is equivalent to being recognized by the most powerful Supreme Treasure in the universe. As long as you do not violate these rules, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake will not harm you."

"Understood." Lin Yan nodded.

It was precisely because of this that he dared to come to the Ancestor God Cult in person. Apart from the Initial Universe, there really wasn't a safer place than this.

"Alright, come in." The Ficang Race Venerable nodded and then flew directly into the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

Lin Yan entered together.

The Aurora, with its boundless power, flowed like water, without any threat, and even gave people a sense of comfort. As they flew, the vaguely visible island became clearer and clearer.

Purple Thorn Island, with a diameter of millions of kilometers, has no Aurora within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers around it.

Walking on Purple Thorn Island, one can see countless palaces of different styles on the land and mountains. At the same time, one can also see powerful beings from all races in the universe, each with an aura of great strength.

In the vast universe, Myriad Races, whether metallic, Plant-type, rock-based, Flesh-type -blood, energy-based, or some Special Lifeform, are not uncommon on Purple Thorn Island.

"Look," the Ficang Race Venerable pointed to the sky.

"Hmm?" Lin Yan looked up and saw that the entire Purple Thorn Island was enveloped in rings of light. The rings of light continued to expand and disappear at the edges, while new rings were born in the center.

Birth, Annihilation.

Endless and endless, repeating endlessly.

Each ring of light is composed of countless Law Threads, with the ten fundamental laws mixed within, and even more incomparably profound Law Threads intertwined, giving each ring of light a sense of completeness and self-sufficiency.

The cyclical, ever-changing halo seemed to interpret all the mysteries of the universe, and even Lin Yan couldn't help but be immersed in it.

"This is an outward manifestation of the Laws of Cosmic Operation." The Ficang Race Venerable revealed a slight smile. "I know that your Initial Universe also had similar effects, but it is certainly not as good as our Ancestor God Cult."

"Our Ancestor God Cult is the number one power in the universe. With the maintenance of the Laws of Cosmic Operation as its core, it is naturally protected by the Laws of Cosmic Operation!"

"Our Ancestor God Cult possesses the Ancestor God Secret Realm, which boasts the most Special Lifeform and treasures in the universe. The Five-Colored Aurora Lake was also bestowed upon our Ancestor God Cult by the Laws of Cosmic Operation." The Ficang Race Venerable was full of pride. "What our Ancestor God Cult does is in accordance with the Laws of Cosmic Operation. Anyone who goes against the Ancestor God Cult is going against the Laws of Cosmic Operation!"

Upon hearing this...

"That's quite domineering of you."

"Your words have come to an end now that you've met me!" Lin Yan thought to himself.

While the Ficang Race Venerable was still showing off, little did he know that he had already opened the system and was secretly studying the quality of this Ancestor God Cult Treasure Land.

The Treasure Land isn't on Purple Thorn Island, but this important location with its vast treasures should naturally be placed in a safe place, also within the "Five-Colored Aurora Lake" area.

It was exactly within the system's detection range of "one trillion kilometers".

"As expected of the Ancestor God Cult, they are truly wealthy and powerful!" Looking at the various information above, Lin Yan felt a surge of happiness.

Your Ancestor God Cult is protected by the Laws of Cosmic Operation, has many treasures, and is very powerful!

I'm here to steal your treasure, and I'm pretty awesome too!

Who says that those who come to the Ancestor God Cult to buy goods aren't heroes!

"Most of them have strict requirements and don't meet the conditions for opening the opportunity. However, some of the most valuable treasures, even just getting one piece, can make me rich!" He thought to himself, "Let me take it easy for now and get familiar with the environment. I can't just go there with a sack on the first day."

Mr. Lin is a respectable person; he wants to eat his fill but doesn't want to make a mess of his table manners.

Seeing his expression, the Ficang Race Venerable assumed that this human did not believe him and snorted, "Don't be disbelieving. After you live here for hundreds of millions of years, you will naturally understand."

He continued to fulfill his duty as a guide, telling Lin Yan some basic information.

On Purple Thorn Island, apart from the island lord, everyone else is an inheritor, and the number of these inheritors has been countless since the birth of the universe.

Perhaps the human race has only had a few hundred inheritors throughout history, but the Ancestor God Cult has bestowed the Inheritance Token, which is scattered throughout the universe. The total number of inheritors in the entire universe is definitely hundreds of millions of times that of humans!

However, most of these inheritors perished, their Inheritance Token and their connection to life breaking. Now, on Purple Thorn Island, only a little over 100 million inheritors remain.

They were talking.

The Ficang Race Venerable walked to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, a place full of poetic charm, and said, "This place is nice. You can build your palace here. However, on Purple Thorn Island, the palaces of all inheritors can only occupy a maximum of one kilometer in length and width. Even some beings with enormous divine bodies can only shrink their divine bodies to live in them."

"Every inheritor on Purple Thorn Island has a palace or mansion. Once it's built, it's your own territory. Other powerful individuals are prohibited from entering unless led or agreed upon by the owner. You are also prohibited from entering the palaces of other powerful individuals."

"The palace is absolutely safe. You can leave a token inside, and then you can directly Divine Kingdom Teleportation."

After saying that.

The Ficang Race Venerable continued to lead Lin Yan to the highest mountain range on the entire Purple Thorn Island, where there was only one Majestic Palace covering thousands of square kilometers.

This is the palace of the Bauhinia Island Master.

The palace was covered with numerous carvings. Although there were thousands of carvings, there were actually only eight types. Some resembled giant unicorn lizards, some resembled roaring gorillas, and some resembled birds with outstretched wings... These were the images of the Eight Innate Beast Gods.

"The island lord of Purple Thorn Island is the Guardian Beast God. Every new inheritor must come to pay homage and be granted authority," said the Ficang Race Venerable.

"The Guardian Beast God..." Lin Yan's heart stirred.

"Look up," the Ficang Race Venerable said, pointing to the sky.

Lin Yan looked up.

Looking up from this vantage point, you can see a gap in the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Along this gap, you can see a dazzlingly large palace deep within the core of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Around that palace, which radiates endless light, are eight slightly smaller palaces suspended in the air.

"Purple Thorn Island is only on the outermost edge of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. That is the true core of the Ancestor God Cult!" Ficang Race Venerable said with some envy. "The largest palace there is the Ancestor God Palace! Our Ancestor God Cult has Three Ancestral Gods Ancestor God, and usually one of them will be stationed in the core area."

"Outside the Ancestor God Palace is the Eight Directions Beast God Hall, where only the Eight Great Beast Gods who have inherited the throne are qualified to reside."

"The more than ten subsidiary halls surrounding the Eight Directions Beast God Hall are the Guardian Beast God Hall."

"Guardian Beast God refer to beings who have obtained the complete Beast God Inheritance and cultivated to the level of Universe Lords. Some of them are current Beast God or unable to inherit the position, while others are unwilling to inherit the position themselves. However, they are all Universe Lords standing at the pinnacle of the universe, which is why they become 'Guardian Beast God'."

"Outside the Guardian Beast God Hall, there are 72 continents called the Divine General Continent, which are inhabited by Seventy-Two Divine Generals. Each of the Divine General Continent is no less than the Purple Thorn Island."

"The outermost densely packed stars are the Three Thousand Divine Envoy Worlds, and each Starry World is the residence of a divine envoy."

The Ficang Race Venerable explained in detail, "Besides these core strongholds, there are also islands in the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. These numerous scattered islands are inhabited by Outer Member the Ancestor God Cult."

The so-called Outer Member of the Ancestor God Cult are respectively Candidate Divine Envoy, Candidate Divine General, and Powerful Beast God Cultivator.

Candidate Divine Envoy and Candidate Divine General refer to those who have received the complete inheritance of Divine Envoy Inheritance and Divine General inheritance. Taking the inheritance of Divine General inheritance, once the complete inheritance is obtained, the entire Inheritance Land will collapse directly. The Ancestor God Cult paid a great price, and the inheritor benefited, so naturally, they have to pay some price as well.

As for Powerful Beast God Cultivator, they must have cultivated the Beast God Inheritance to an extremely high level, at least fully accepting the fifth level! The Beast God Inheritance... the Ancestor God Cult paid the greatest price, and these powerful Beast God Inheritance cultivators naturally deserve some reward as well.

The universe is fair, and this is also a tenet of the Ancestor God Cult.

The Ancestor God Cult doesn't care about the weak; they don't need to work for the Ancestor God Cult, which is equivalent to giving them something for free.

Of course, the Ancestor God Cult is arguably the freest force, and there are no restrictions on becoming Outer Member. Among these many inheritors, many want to become Outer Member, but unfortunately, they do not have the qualifications.

"I have told you everything that needs to be told. My mission is over." The Ficang Race Venerable said, "The succession of the Purple Thorn Island has an extremely high rate of death. I hope you can live for a while longer. If you perish, even if you are resurrected by the clan, you will not be able to come to Purple Thorn Island again."

"Since the birth of the universe, there have been very few inheritors who have been granted the Inheritance Token twice."

Lin Yan blinked.

Unless it's a case of "falling from grace," I'll let him see what's really going on.

"Thank you for your guidance, Venerable One," Lin Yan said.

The Ficang Race Venerable smiled slightly, then broke through the air and flew into the Five-Colored Aurora deep in the sky. After a brief guidance, he was about to leave Purple Thorn Island.

Lin Yan then walked towards the Majestic Palace.

The palace was very vast, and it took him a long time to reach the main hall.

"The Inheritor." In front of the main hall, a human man who was sitting cross-legged stood up. He was dressed in a simple black robe, had long blue hair, and blue secret patterns on his face. His aura was faint, indicating that he was at least Universe Venerable level being.

The man smiled and said, "I didn't expect the successor to be human again. That's wonderful. I am a servant under the island lord, responsible for guarding the palace here. I have already conveyed the message to the island lord. You may wait here patiently."

A human Soul Servant of the Universe Venerable level!

This is also why Lin Yan had to conceal his identity World Master. This Guardian Beast God, who could enslave human Universe Venerable, might be from some Alien Race that had conflicts with humans. Although he was Guardian Beast God, he would not take action against the inheritor in the Ancestor God Secret Realm, nor would he take Lin Yan seriously.

The message could be easily relayed to the ears of the Demon Race and the Zerg without much effort.

There are countless conflicts among the Myriad Races in the universe, and Lin Yan is not qualified to change them before becoming the master of the universe.

It's been less than three days.

"Come in." An incredibly domineering and chilling aura instantly enveloped the entire palace, and a slightly high-pitched yet soul-piercing voice emanated from the main hall.

"Looks like I'm not the unlucky one." Lin Yan immediately got up and entered the main hall.

He had heard that if Guardian Beast God was in trouble, it could take up to 10 years before another Guardian Beast God could be asked to take charge.

Upon entering the palace, Lin Yan felt as if he had been plunged into an endless Flame World, with the entire surrounding space and time filled with fire.

On that high throne, a strange creature resembling Flood Dragon but with wings was coiled. It raised its dragon head and looked down, its body covered with a strange, close-fitting armor, on which flames shone.

It is the controller of this space-time; if it so desires, a single thought can cause Lin Yan's demise.

"From this moment on, you are the inheritor of Purple Thorn Island." A resounding voice emanated from the dragon's head, "I will grant you access to the 'Glory World'."

Wow!

An object resembling a Light Brain appeared out of thin air and flew directly towards Lin Yan.

The Glory World is a virtual world similar to a "Virtual Universe," covering the Ancestor God Secret Realm, but its functions are relatively limited.

"I further grant you the authority to enter the 'Inheritance Land,' the 'Treasure Land,' and the 'Secret Realm Land,'" Guardian Beast God. "The three water curtains in front of the palace are the teleportation channels to these three places. Of course... you cannot enter without the authorization."

"The three water curtains lead directly to these three locations."

"The Inheritance Land is where one receives the Beast God Inheritance and tests one's Law Comprehension."

"The Treasure Land is a place where the super strong people of the Ancestor God Cult Sect have hidden their treasures. If you meet the requirements of the previous strong people, you will have the opportunity to retrieve the treasures inside."

"The Secret Realm Land can be accessed directly through the Ancestor God Secret Realm channel, without having to venture into the dangers of the outer perimeter."

"The Ancestor God Secret Realm is the most mysterious realm in the universe, containing many mysterious treasures. However, it is also the most dangerous realm. The more precious the treasure, the more dangerous it is. Therefore, if you want to explore the Secret Realm Land, you must be prepared to perish."

Inheritance Land, Treasure Land, Secret Realm Land, and Glory World... These are the four places that the inheritors on Purple Thorn Island need to familiarize themselves with.

"First, build a palace on Purple Thorn Island, then head to the Inheritance Land."

"Whether or not to explore the Secret Realm Land depends on what we find in the Treasure Land."

Lin Yan said silently.
