Silence.

The entire Treasure Land was silent.

At the summits of the mountains, hundreds of millions of inheritors were shocked. A suicide attack by a Universe Venerable was so easily resolved. This King Xuanyuan had only appeared in the Ancestor God Cult today, yet he had already caused such a huge upheaval, not only opening the three great treasures but also causing the fall of two powerful Universe Venerable!

"That 'Lord of the Universe' just now... which being from the Ancestor God Cult was he?"

"Powerful, so incredibly powerful. In the face of such a being, I feel that I could die instantly with just a single thought from him."

"After all, the Ancestor God Cult is the number one power in the universe. To assassinate the human King Xuanyuan here is simply courting death."

"The main reason is that King Xuanyuan's defensive capabilities exceeded their expectations; otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Who could have imagined that a King level Immortal could withstand the attack of Venerable Zhong Mei, burning Divine Power?"

"It's not surprising. He was able to open three great treasures in the Treasure Land, so perhaps there are protective treasures among them. Besides... King Xuanyuan is the most valued genius of mankind. His talent and opportunities are amazing. How could he lack Supreme Treasure, precious objects, or special methods brought about by some fortuitous encounters?"

The countless inheritors looked at King Xuanyuan with even greater caution.

Compared to talent, ability is undoubtedly more convincing.

None of the powerful figures present doubted the possibility of Lin Yan stepping into the Universe Venerable. The current King Xuanyuan, who is still King level Immortal, is already so monstrous. What will he be like when he steps into the Universe Venerable?

Suddenly--

A powerful pressure descended.

A body resembling Flood Dragon stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers, its enormous wings unfurled, and its dragon head emerged, instantly causing all the hundreds of millions of inheritors in the Treasure Land to respectfully bow. "Island Lord."

The newcomer was none other than the Guardian Beast God of Bauhinia Island Master!

"How dare a Universe Venerable one assassinate King Xuanyuan in the sacred grounds of my Ancestor God Cult! What audacity!"

"Blatantly defying the orders of my Ancestor God Cult, even provoking the Ancestor God himself to take action, you truly deserve to die!" The Guardian Beast God's voice boomed, "My Ancestor God Cult Sect has lenient rules, but once they are set, they cannot be challenged!"

The Guardian Beast God looked down, its dragon head's eyes filled with icy coldness.

"By Ancestor God Token, Venerable Zhong Mei and Venerable Zhao Shi have challenged the majesty of our Ancestor God Cult and shall perish forever! Even if they are resurrected by Reverse Space-Time, they will still face the pursuit and extermination of our Ancestor God Cult!"

The overwhelming pressure caused countless inheritors present to change color.

Ruthless.

That's really too cruel.

Having been resurrected by Reverse Space-Time, one can only hide and never step out of the territory of those top races. Otherwise, once discovered, how could one possibly escape the pursuit of the Ancestor God Cult?

This was the Ancestor God's command, conveyed by the Guardian Beast God, which sent chills down the spines of countless inheritors.

They could only breathe a sigh of relief when the Guardian Beast God in the sky disappeared into thin air.

Immediately afterwards Venerable Jiu Feng and other powerful humans led Lin Yan away from the Treasure Land.

However, the countless inheritors of the Treasure Land were still immersed in this shock and suddenly became noisy.

"According to the island lord, the mysterious expert who killed the Venerable Zhao Shi was actually the Ancestor God of the Ancestor God Cult?"

The powerful figures present were all extremely shocked.

The Ancestor God is the supreme being of the Ancestor God Cult Sect. Even the Bug Hunter King present had never had the opportunity to see the Ancestor God, and very few people present could recognize his identity.

When the answer was revealed, it was also something they found hard to believe.

"In the history of the Ancestor God Cult, there have been killings among the inheritors, but who has ever heard of the Ancestor God and the Guardian Beast God appearing one after another? Not to mention that Venerable Zhong Mei and Venerable Zhao Shi will be Reverse Space-Time and will be hunted down by the Ancestor God Cult. This is something that has never been seen before!"

"Hmph, are you stupid! In the past... why were those inheritors compared to King Xuanyuan? Didn't you see how biased the Ancestor God Cult was towards Bug Hunter King?"

"King Xuanyuan just withstood the assassination attempt by Venerable Zhong Mei. Looking across Purple Thorn Island, how many of the hundreds of millions of immortal inheritors could do that? Not to mention, he successively opened three great treasures, including the Highest Mountain Treasure left by the Ancestor God, whose potential is virtually limitless. In my opinion, he might not be inferior to Bug Hunter King."

"It seems that it's about time. King Xuanyuan obtained the treasure of the Ancestor God, which must have earned him the favor of the Ancestor God. Although he was born into the human race, he was still given special treatment by the Ancestor God Cult."

"I'm so envious, so very envious."

It is indeed enviable to receive special treatment from the Ancestor God Cult.

The Bug Hunter King received two Supreme Treasure from the Beast God, and the King Xuanyuan even ordered the Ancestor God to personally kill the Venerable Zhao Shi and issued a kill order!

"It's hard to imagine that such a genius, who deserves special treatment from the Ancestor God Cult, is not cultivating the Path of the Beast God."

"The Path of Space-Time and Space and the Path of the Beast God do not conflict. Given the speed at which King Xuanyuan Law Comprehension, he may have come to the Ancestor God Cult to learn from each other through different paths, thereby ultimately breaking through to the level of Universe Venerable."

"What you said makes sense, but... the Fusion Law are very different from the Space Law. I really don't believe that King Xuanyuan, with his heaven-defying talent in the Path of Space-Time, could also make such rapid progress in the Fusion Law."

The inheritors of various races in the universe conversed with each other, then turned into streaks of light and disappeared in twos and threes. Immediately afterward, they all relayed messages to their respective factions.

In the starry sky, in that space-time enveloped by endless flames of immense power, the Lord Tian Lang immediately received the news.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Lord Tian Lang stood Heavenly Wolf Hall, roaring angrily, "Even High-class Universe Venerable couldn't kill that human King Xuanyuan! Venerable Zhao Shi was killed by the Ancestor God before he could even make a move, and he even ordered that even if he were to Reverse Space-Time to be resurrected, he would still be hunted down by the Ancestor God Cult!"

"Damn it!"

It was furious.

Not only did they fail to assassinate King Xuanyuan, they also lost the pawn, Venerable Zhao Shi, for nothing. Venerable Zhao Shi perished while carrying out a mission for the Demon Race Alliance, and now the Ancestor God Cult has issued a kill order. Their clan is strongly demanding that the Demon Race provide more compensation.

Even though he was filled with anger, he knew that the Venerable Zhao Shi would have a tragic future, and that this request was reasonable.

"Now that even the Ancestor God has personally intervened, it's clear that he values King Xuanyuan highly. The possibility of assassinating him on the territory of the Ancestor God Cult's sect is close to zero; it's extremely difficult to succeed." The Lord Tian Lang's emerald eyes flashed with a cold light as he pondered how to deal with this pillar of humanity's future.

But after thinking it over and over, there was no solution.

If even the High-class Universe Venerable have failed, how can we possibly send Universe Overlord?

The situation is different now. The treasures Lin Yan obtained from the Ancestor God Cult may have already been sent back to the Human territory. If he cannot Soul Control the King Xuanyuan with his soul and kill him, the human race's universe master can easily Reverse Space-Time to revive him, thus losing a Universe Overlord.

Moreover... with the Ancestor God Cult's kill order in place, which Universe Overlord would be willing to kill King Xuanyuan? This is the number one power in the universe; they'd be asking for trouble.

The Demon Race Alliance doesn't have many Universe Overlord within the Ancestor God Cult. If they suffer losses, the cost will be far more than just the superficial cost of resurrection.

Furthermore, the Ancestor God himself intervened this time, saying that there should be no next time. It would be very foolish to provoke such a behemoth as the Ancestor God Cult just to assassinate a human genius.

"Let's put this plan on hold for now."

"The strength of the human King Xuanyuan has exceeded expectations, and the Ancestor God Cult values him highly. Now we can only wait for the right opportunity."

The Lord Tian Lang's dark blue eyes flashed with murderous intent.

The territory of the Mechanical race.

"We even used Venerable Zhong Mei, a High-grade Venerable Soul Master, to ensure the elimination of this human King Xuanyuan, yet we still failed... This human King Xuanyuan must possess a top-tier Soul-type treasure, or even a Soul Supreme Treasure!"

"The cost of completely eradicating it is too high and disproportionate to the gains. It also has the protection of the Ancestor God, so we can only give up. There is no other way."

Many Super Existence clearly understand this point: trying to kill King Xuanyuan in the sacred grounds of the Ancestor God Cult would be a losing proposition.

The purpose of assassinating geniuses is to kill them when they are not strong enough, so as to prevent them from growing stronger and causing greater losses to their own race.

If the purpose of assassination is to cause greater losses to oneself, then it will be meaningless.

Purple Thorn Island.

Venerable Jiu Feng escorted Lin Yan back to his residence, then turned and left. Lin Yan closed the palace door and walked along the cobblestone path in the landscape garden, his mind filled with many thoughts.

"The appearance of the Two-Faced Ancestor God is most likely due to the opening of the Highest Mountain Treasure." Lin Yan pondered to himself, "For the Ancestor God Cult to issue a kill order for this matter, it is clear that they value me highly. However, I am, after all, of human origin, and it is impossible for me to be completely loyal to the Ancestor God Cult. How they will treat me... is still uncertain."

"This matter requires further consideration."

"The most important thing now is to send the Azure Lotus Divine Armor and the Supreme Treasure 'Purple Star Heaven' back to the Human territory. This is the most important gain of this trip. As long as I have these two treasures, even if my main body and the Xue Qiao Clone are killed and all the other treasures on my body are lost, it will not have much of an impact," Lin Yan thought to himself.

He couldn't activate these two treasures before he became Universe Venerable, but they were extremely valuable. For example, the Azure Lotus Divine Armor was worth about 1,500 Supreme Treasure Points. The best option was naturally to send them back to the Inner World of the Human territory.

Apart from these two treasures, Lin Yan's entire fortune is only slightly over 100 Supreme Treasure Points.

"Next, I might try venturing into the Ancestor God Secret Realm." A thought popped into Lin Yan's mind. "Although the Ancestor God Secret Realm is extremely dangerous, I have the Palace of Lingguang Purple Qi, which greatly increases my safety. Even if I really fall into a dangerous place and lose all my treasures... it won't have much of an impact on me."

He was still very interested in the depths of the Ancestor God Secret Realm.

In fact, Lin Yan met the requirements for 5 out of the 108 Great Treasures, but the remaining two were at the level of the most Ordinary Supreme Treasure. He was unable to trigger them on his own, so he felt there was no need to use his luck.

After all, the Jun Tian Fist Armor, Celestial Origin Wheel, Void Wings, and Illusion Realm Bead on his body are all Supreme Treasure, while the Palace of Lingguang Purple Qi and Azure Star River are Top-tier Supreme Treasure, comparable in value to Ordinary Supreme Treasure!

Even the Black Phoenix Armor, this precious battle armor worth 2100 Supreme Treasure Points, is more suitable for Lin Yan now than many Ordinary Supreme Treasure armors.

He certainly doesn't lack Ordinary Supreme Treasure.

Instead of wasting this opportunity, we should save it for exploring the Secret Realm Land and seeking greater rewards through adventure.

Lin Yan thought about it for a moment, and since there was no rush, he didn't dwell on it any longer and went to a pavilion.

Buzz...

A hazy blue light appeared, activating the Divine Kingdom Teleportation. Lin Yan could vaguely see the endless divine kingdom on the other side of the blue light passage.

Whoosh!

Lin Yan disappeared via teleportation.

A few minutes later, the blue light shone again, and Lin Yan returned to the pavilion.

He has already sent the two great treasures back to his Inner World. The Ancestor Tree clone is also in his Inner World, while the Origin Core is placed inside the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone, hidden in the "Original Secret Realm," a key location of the Virtual Universe Company.

Over the years, the threat from Alien Race has forced Lin Yan to be extremely cautious. Otherwise, if he were to reveal even the slightest weakness, he could Myriad Tribulations.

"Speaking of which, King Li Shuo has prepared a victory celebration banquet for me, so I can't break my promise." Lin Yan smiled, walked out of the pavilion, and looked towards the gate of the mansion.

Suddenly--

A voice rang in his ear. "Lin Yan, come here."

"Huh?" Lin Yan exclaimed in surprise. That voice was...

He immediately turned his head and saw a figure appear out of thin air in the courtyard of his mansion. It was the Two-Faced Ancestor God. His fair and benevolent face looked at Lin Yan, making him feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze.

"Thank you for saving me, Ancestor God." Lin Yan approached and bowed respectfully.

The Two-Faced Ancestor God shook his head and laughed, "That 91st treasure is the 'Palace of Lingguang Purple Qi' of the Lord of Breaking Illusions. With this treasure, you are not afraid of assassination within the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Even if I do not take action, I will not be concerned about you. It's just that they know you have obtained the treasure I left behind, yet they still dare to attack you... It's too disrespectful to my Ancestor God Cult Sect."

"Lin Yan to have obtained the 'Azure Lotus Divine Armor,' and thanks the Ancestor God for bestowing this treasure upon me," Lin Yan said gratefully.

He learned from the system message that the [Azure Lotus Divine Armor] was left behind by the Two-Faced Ancestor God. In fact, he was not too surprised by the appearance of the Ancestor God. This was a Peak Supreme Treasure, and it would be strange if he did not react after obtaining it.

However, the Two-Faced Ancestor God could watch him return the treasure to Human territory speaks volumes about his stance.

A Peak Supreme Treasure like this is of immense significance to Lin Yan. Even the human race would not be so generous. Although this can be attributed to Lin Yan's good fortune, this kindness cannot be forgotten.

"Azure Lotus Divine Armor... Haha, speaking of which, I placed this Supreme Treasure when I opened the Treasure Land. Countless years have passed, and I originally thought that no one would be able to open it, but I didn't expect that someone could actually do it. Even I am very surprised." The Two-Faced Ancestor God said with a smile.

"Oh?" Lin Yan, somewhat curious.

What conditions could make the Two-Faced Ancestor God believe that no one could activate it?

However, the Two-Faced Ancestor God did not directly answer the question, but instead talked about other things.

"I have reviewed your information. Your cultivation time is short, but your progress is rapid." The Two-Faced Ancestor God smiled at Lin Yan. "Moreover, compared to the Path of Space-Time, your progress in the Path of the Beast God is even more astonishing."

"It is indeed possible to meet the conditions for opening the treasure of the Lord of Breaking Illusions, but that is based on the foundation of the Inheritance Land. If there are many inheritance opportunities, the speed of comprehension will naturally be very fast."

"But... since you joined the Ancestor God Cult, you have only visited the Inheritance Land once. It is truly incredible that you not only met the requirements but also exceeded them purely by relying on your talent."

Lin Yan was sweating profusely.

His mastery of the Time Law and Law of Light was already profound, and his talent in the Time Fusion Law was even more outstanding. With the blessing of the Immortal Primordial Spirit, he reached the third form of Beast God Inheritance in 160 years with ease.

"As for the treasure of the Lord Ming Zhong, most of those who cultivate the Path of the Beast God are martial artists, and there are very few Mental Master. To achieve near-perfect Soul Amplitude, one's will must at least reach the level of Universe Overlord!"

"Among the immortal inheritors, since the birth of the universe, there are very few who can raise their Soul Amplitude to this level. Almost all of them are Special Lifeform with extremely high Life Gene Level. Only you are of human origin."

The Two-Faced Ancestor God spoke and smiled at Yan Yan.

He was clearly very satisfied with Lin Yan.

"The most crucial thing is the 'Azure Lotus Divine Armor'... Do you know what conditions I set?" the Two-Faced Ancestor God.

"I don't know." Lin Yan shook his head.

"Our Ancestor God Cult is the guardian of the Laws of Cosmic Operation. In fact... as Ancestor God, we are the representatives of the Primordial Universe Origin Will, and we can even communicate with the Primordial Universe Will," the Two-Faced Ancestor God said softly.

"Therefore, when I opened up the Treasure Land, I left behind the 'Azure Lotus Divine Armor', but without any specific conditions. Whether it will be opened depends on the reaction of the Primordial Universe Will. If I can receive the blessing of the Primordial Universe Will, the treasure will naturally be opened."

"Countless lives in the universe are nurtured by the universe, like children of the universe, and are cherished by the universe. For example, Special Lifeform are born with eternal life, while ordinary life forms, as long as they comprehend even the most basic law, can be directly transformed into divine bodies with the help of the Law Ocean and possess eternal life."

"The Universe Venerable is one who has comprehended either the Space Law or the Time Law. Their divine body is stronger, and their understanding of the laws has reached a higher level."

"The Lord of the Universe is one who has comprehended space and time! Or one who has comprehended some kind of Path of the Beast God. As long as one becomes the Lord of the Universe, even if one is Golden Kong Beast God, one can control a space and time."

"These are all gifts from the universe to living beings! They bestow endless divine power, innate Talent Secret Method, complete mastery of space and time, and the possibility of 'Reverse Space-Time to resurrect'! From the weak to the master of the universe, this long journey has always been blessed by the universe."

"The fact that you were able to obtain the 'Azure Lotus Divine Armor' shows that you are one of the few beings among countless lives who have received extraordinary favor from the universe, just like how my Ancestor God Cult receives the blessings of the universe. This kind of personal blessing is even more special."

The Two-Faced Ancestor God smiled and said, "This alone shows that your potential is greater than anyone imagined. Our Ancestor God Cult hopes that you will grow and that in the future, when your strength is comparable to that of the 'Chaos City Lord' of your human race, our Ancestor God Cult will give you a position as 'Guardian Divine Lord'."

Lin Yan was somewhat stunned.

The universe's extraordinary favor?

He recalled the scene before he opened his opportunity, when the highest mountain peak remained completely still, and then looked at the gentle and kind appearance of the Two-Faced Ancestor God, and couldn't help but be stunned.

I am a fake!
