Origin Divine Lord!
The "Ancestor God Token" is a means of communication for members of the Ancestor God Cult. After imprinting Life Imprint on it, they can communicate through the Ancestor God Token as long as they are within the universe.
Of course... compared to the Virtual Universe of humankind, it is far inferior, only allowing for text-based communication.
The message being conveyed this time is simply a rehash of old issues.
When Lin Yan first entered the Ancestor God Cult's Purple Thorn Island, he had a meeting with the Two-Faced Ancestor God. At that time, the Two-Faced Ancestor God thought highly of him and personally invited him to join the outer organization. If Lin Yan could grow to a level comparable to the "Chaos City Lord", he hoped that he would serve as the Guardian Divine Lord of the Ancestor God Cult.
The Guardian Divine Lord is the highest-ranking member among the Outer Member of the Ancestor God Cult! His status is comparable to that of the Beast God, second only to the Three Ancestor Gods.
The Ancestor God Cult is the number one power in the universe. The Lord of Fengtian and the Lord of Nine Nether, who are qualified to serve as "Guardian Divine Lord", are powerful beings with "Tier 5 peak combat power". In fact, each Guardian Divine Lord has several universe lords under his command, which shows his status.
Even if Lin Yan was previously listed among the "Lords of the Universe", he did not have such qualifications. However, after this battle, he became famous throughout the universe. Even the Lord of Fengtian and the Lord of Nine Nether, who had great reputations, were slightly inferior to him. How could the Ancestor God Cult not try to win him over?
"Although with my current strength, serving as the 'Guardian Divine Lord' would benefit the Ancestor God Cult Sect more, my cultivation of the Path of the Beast God is thanks to the repeated infusions from the Inheritance Land, which has maximized my efficiency and allowed me to progress rapidly," Lin Yan thought to himself. "Moreover, when I was the World Master, I obtained three Supreme Treasure in the Treasure Land, including the Peak Supreme Treasure Armor 'Azure Lotus Divine Armor.' I must repay this kindness."
He has used up tens of thousands of inheritance opportunities. Each Inheritance Land session consumes a lot of energy, which is why the Ancestor God Cult controls the number of inheritance opportunities so strictly.
Peak Supreme Treasure are extremely precious, and some Super Power cannot even produce a few in stock. Only the Ancestor God Cult, with its special status and numerous treasures, was able to give Lin Yan the opportunity to obtain the "Azure Lotus Divine Armor".
"Moreover, my identity can strengthen the connection between the human race and the Ancestor God Cult. This is beneficial to the powerful cultivators of the Path of the Beast God in the Hong Alliance, and also to the human race itself. So there's nothing wrong with it."
After a moment's thought, he responded through the Ancestor God Token.
The position of Guardian Divine Lord is extremely noble. After receiving Lin Yan's affirmative reply, some ritual preparations are still needed. We can go there when the time comes.
During this time, Lin Yan waited for the response from the Ancestor God Cult Sect while simultaneously organizing and analyzing the previous battle.
In that battle, he fought against the Lord Tian Lang, the Yan Di, the Star River Master, three of the Universe's Strongest, and the universe lords they led. Through the tempering of the battle, Lin Yan gained more insights into himself and also gained some inspiration from the secret techniques they used.
However, breaking through to the level of a universe master is clearly still quite far away, and I don't have any sense of that yet.
This is quite normal.
When Lin Yan was at the World Lord level, he was stuck at the bottleneck for more than 90,000 years. After breaking through to the Universe Venerable, he cultivated for tens of millions of years through the Time Palace. However, the difficulty of breaking through to the Universe Lord is more than a hundred or a thousand times greater than the former.
Those cosmic rulers are all exceptionally talented and have Special Encounters, but each of them has exhausted countless efforts, endured countless battles and trials, and needed a bit of luck to overcome this hurdle before they were able to achieve their goal.
Even Luo Feng in the original story, who had long ago comprehended the Gold Beast God Heart, solved the most difficult step on the path of "breaking through to become the Lord of the Universe with the Path of the Beast God", created a secret technique at the level of "the Universe's Strongest", and obtained the invaluable "Duan Donghe Inheritance", his Divine Power Clone was constantly cultivating in the "Inheritance Space" which was accelerated ten thousand times.
How much preparation did they have? It took many years to achieve this breakthrough.
Therefore, Lin Yan was not too impatient in this regard. Instead, he focused on improving his Law Comprehension to the limit and at the same time, he tried his best to enhance his combat power and enrich his combat methods.
Although he is currently Universe Venerable, he possesses combat power close to the Universe Master's Limit. He fears no one below the Universe's Strongest. When he ventures into the Cosmic Sea, he can hone his skills through battles while seeking opportunities in dangerous areas. Breaking through to the Universe Lord will be a natural outcome.
Given Lin Yan's current strength and the Supreme Treasure he possesses, he harbors great ambitions for the seven opportunities to become Universe Venerable.
I have to say...
From the moment Lin Yan made his choice when faced with the "Nine Tribulations Scripture," it has been a very difficult thing for him to truly surpass Luo Feng. He can only say that he is temporarily ahead now, but it will not be difficult for him to reach the level of "the Universe's Strongest" in the future.
However, if he wants to go further, the resources he currently possesses are insufficient, and some more powerful opportunities are indispensable, such as the ancient heritage of the Origin Continent.
However, Lin Yan has never regretted his choice.
For him, Luo Feng's existence was more like a spur, allowing him to see his own predicament amidst the magnificent scenery, and to embark on every unknown adventure with high morale.
What kind of fate awaits him?
Lin Yan didn't know.
But he is full of expectations for his future.
Six months later.
Ancestor God Secret Realm, Five-Colored Aurora Lake Area.
The surging, colorful, dreamlike lake is composed of countless Aurora of five colors, spanning a diameter of 10 light-years, with islands and palaces faintly visible within it.
This is destined to be a very special day for the Ancestor God Cult.
Above Purple Thorn Island.
An invisible yet terrifying pressure descended, causing all the inheritors to tremble. This pressure was powerful and domineering, even more terrifying than the Guardian Beast God of Bauhinia Island Master.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
This immediately caused hundreds of millions of inheritors to fly out of their palaces, all looking up at the sky.
What's going on?
"What happened?"
These inheritors looked up at the sky, their faces filled with shock and astonishment, and they frantically whispered among themselves.
At this moment, the sky was clearly divided into eight regions. Some regions were radiating endless golden light, some were flowing with endless waves, and some were filled with endless lightning, completely obscuring the sky above Purple Thorn Island and making the Five-Colored Aurora Lake invisible.
"Snort!"
A cold snort came from behind.
The area of lightning shook violently, and the pressure suddenly intensified, causing hundreds of millions of inheritors who were originally in mid-air to plummet to the ground. Even the inheritors of the Universe Venerable could not withstand the pressure and fell down.
A massive figure was faintly visible amidst the endless lightning, its entire body covered in blue fur, each hair resembling a whip from the Thunder God. Countless bolts of lightning surged within the enormous eyes on its head as it looked down upon the world below!
That enormous and terrifying existence was like a part of the Universe Origin Law, utterly irresistible, causing all inheritors to submit to it.
"I am the Eight Directions Beast Gods... the Thunder Beast God." The terrifying being slowly opened its mouth, and a sound like thunder resounded throughout Purple Thorn Island.
"Our Ancestor God Cult is the number one power in the entire universe. Since the birth of the Primordial Universe, our Ancestor God Cult Sect has Three Ancestor Gods, Eight Great Beast Gods, and many Guardian Beast God at its core. In addition, our Ancestor God Cult's peripheral organizations currently have six Guardian Divine Lords, including the Lord Fengtian, Lord Luocan God Lord, and the Lord Jiuyou. Each of them is a universe lord with a illustrious reputation in the universe."
The Thunder Beast God looked down and roared, "Today, our Ancestor God Cult will give birth to its seventh Guardian Divine Lord, and you are granted special permission to witness the ceremony."
Whoosh—
The hundreds of millions of inheritors below were immediately in an uproar, all showing expressions of shock and longing.
"The seventh Guardian Divine Lord!"
"No wonder there was such a commotion. This is the Thunder Beast God. Doesn't that mean that Eight Great Beast Gods of the Ancestor God Cult have gathered together? Apart from the 'Guardian Divine Lord,' there is indeed no other being qualified to do so."
"Every Guardian Divine Lord of the Ancestor God Cult is extremely powerful. Lord Fengtian, Lord Luocan, Lord Jiuyou... which one of them is not a super strong person who has killed the Lord of the Universe? Even our clan's Holy Lord probably wouldn't dare to provoke them. So who will be this seventh Guardian Divine Lord?"
These inheritors couldn't help but whisper among themselves, all of them incredibly excited. This was definitely one of the most shocking pieces of news in the universe. The Ancestor God Cult truly lived up to its reputation as the number one power in the universe; its foundation was simply too astonishing.
"Looking across the universe, there are very few qualified individuals to serve as the Guardian Divine Lord, let alone a member of an outer organization that cultivates the Path of the Beast God. Could it be..."
"It must be."
"When he first came to Purple Thorn Island, who could have imagined that just 100,000 years later he would be able to witness such a sight?"
A figure involuntarily appeared in their minds, and they couldn't help but feel a little tremble.
When that man first entered Purple Thorn Island, he was only a World Master, yet he disguised himself as an Immortal and created all sorts of miracles. At that time, everyone thought that the greatest miracle in the world was this, but... this grand miracle has never ended.
Today, they all stand on this land, gazing up at the breathtaking reflection in the clouds.
Gradually--
Seventy-Two Divine Generals and Three Thousand Divine Envoys of the Ancestor God Cult were in place. Very few of them remained in the Core Land of Ancestor God Cult; they had all come from all over the vast universe specifically for this event. Even the Guardian Divine Lord and cosmic lords of the peripheral organizations were invited to attend the ceremony.
This is a necessary procedure for the "Guardian Divine Lord" and also a sign of respect.
Deep within the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, a magnificent palace radiates boundless power, with imposing figures seated on thrones, exuding terrifying pressure.
"Nine Netherworlds, I heard that this new Guardian Divine Lord's strongest move is similar to yours?" A towering Rock Giant wearing black and red armor sat on a throne. He had eight dark red rock arms, and his body was covered with wisps of hot liquid. Gray smoke billowed from his nostrils as he looked at the figure beside him and laughed loudly.
"It's true according to the rumors, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't be sure," said a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent black robe. His pale face was covered with Black Secret Patterns, and he exuded an eerie charm, a kind of great freedom that made him feel like he was the only one who mattered in the universe.
Lord Fengtian!
Lord Jiuyou!
Among the six Guardian Divine Lords of the Ancestor God Cult Sect, these two are the most famous. Firstly, they are both of Special Lifeform. Although they belong to the Outer Member, they have no other power background and are more valued by the Ancestor God Cult Sect. Secondly, they each have special abilities.
Lord Fengtian is skilled in refining Supreme Treasure. He is one of the three Great Existence in the universe capable of refining Top-tier Supreme Treasure. He has befriended many Super Existence and has the ability to create clones, so he naturally holds Transcendent position.
Of course, the one with the strongest ability to refine the Supreme Treasure is the "Mountain Master," but very few people know this, and he is unknown to most.
The Lord Jiuyou possesses a divine body unparalleled in the universe, with Divine Power Ocean spanning over ten light-years in diameter. Even the Strongest World Tree pales in comparison. Such an outrageous divine body is something even the Universe's Strongest cannot overcome.
However, his Divine Power Ocean is difficult to move, and his clones that usually travel through the universe are subject to many limitations, making him somewhat inferior to other Fifth-Order Peak Universe Master. Yet, his ability to protect himself is heaven-defying.
The biggest event in the universe recently has been the siege of Lin Yan by the three Universe's Strongest.
When all the powerful figures learned of Lin Yan's special technique, the first thing that came to mind was the Lord of Nine Nether. When the news reached the Lord of Nine Nether, he was also greatly shocked... To be able to recover after Self-destruct attack was simply unbelievable.
"The method of Self-destruct- destruction is not the key. As long as one has an inexhaustible source of energy like Jiuyou, it is not difficult to create one without considering the loss of divine power." A gentle voice rang out. "The message that was sent out mainly showed that the human's life-saving methods were too strong. To escape unscathed from the encirclement of three of the Universe's Strongest, more than just combat power is needed."
The soft voice was somewhat ethereal. It belonged to a female Universe Master dressed in pale white armor. She had a beautiful and delicate face, and butterfly-like wings on her back. Her armor was very strange, as if it were woven from silk threads. It did not look imposing, but it was the "Lord Luocan", one of the Guardian Divine Lord of the Ancestor God Cult.
She is not Special Lifeform, but the strongest member of the powerful "Wei Yi Tribe". In addition to being the protector of the Ancestor God Cult Guardian Divine Lord, she is also the leader of the "Misty Peak Alliance", one of the Top-tier Power in the universe, and is responsible for many matters within the alliance.
Compared to the Lord of Nine Nether was concerned about Lin Yan's Self-destruct attack, the Lord of the Fallen Silkworm was more concerned about Lin Yan's survival methods. She herself had strong survival abilities and also had the ability to create clones, making her quite famous in the Cosmic Sea.
"Haha, it seems our new Guardian Divine Lord is quite popular." Lord Fengtian laughed, then looked into the distance, "Haha, here they come."
They all turned to look.
Outside this Majestic Palace—
Rumble...
The boundless, Five-Colored Aurora Lake seemed to be divided into two parts, like a giant sun radiating endless golden light. An ancient ship, like a giant sun, broke through space and floated in the void, its vast aura spreading out.
From this ancient ship emerged a handsome young man clad in Blue-Golden Magnificent Armor. His physique was impeccable, especially his pair of dark eyes, deep and unfathomable like a dark spring, seemingly possessing a magical power that could draw one's soul in.
"Hmm?" Lin Yan stood at the bow of the Sun Boat, looking down and immediately saw the dense crowd on Purple Thorn Island. Among them were familiar figures such as True Yan Venerable, King Li Shuo, and King Chaman.
Powerful auras surged in the void. Lin Yan looked over and saw eight Great Existence who seemed to be the Universe Origin Law descending upon them.
"The Origin Divine Lord." The Eight Great Beast Gods of the Ancestor God Cult looked at Lin Yan, and in that instant, it was as if the entire world was whispering this name.
Wow!
The Seventy-Two Divine Generals and Three Thousand Divine Envoys of the Ancestor God Cult all bowed respectfully. "Greetings to the Origin Divine Lord!"
"Greetings, Origin Divine Lord!" Many Outer Member of the Ancestor God Cult shouted in unison.
The mighty sound wave broke through the sky. The hundreds of millions of inheritors on Purple Thorn Island were all a little confused. They were just Beast God Inheritor, not members of the Ancestor God Cult Sect. The main reason was not that they were unwilling, but that the Ancestor God Cult did not care.
These people are all renowned figures in the outside world. There are numerous Universe Overlord among them, yet they still have to be extremely respectful in front of this Origin Divine Lord.
This is simply the pinnacle of power in the Primordial Universe.
Origin Divine Lord!
When Lin Yan possessed the title of King Rank, he was called "King Xuanyuan" by various races in the universe. After he gained the power of a universe master, he was naturally called "Lord Xuanyuan". However, normally, after becoming a universe master, one might have some ideas, so most universe masters would change their titles.
Some powerful individuals use the weapons they are skilled in to give themselves titles.
Some are commemorating their hometown, or a deep-seated obsession.
Some are simply driven by ambition, etc.
Like the Chaos City Lord, after the Primordial Ancestor was suppressed by the Universe Origin, he was entrusted by the Primordial Ancestor to guard Chaos City. In order to always keep the Primordial Ancestor's instructions in mind, he changed his name to "Chaos City Lord".
When Lin Yan was first included among the "Lords of the Universe" of the human race, since the whole universe knew that he was Universe Venerable, he didn't care about such things. He could be called whatever he wanted, and he would deal with it when he truly became the Lord of the Universe.
Therefore, at that time, some powerful figures would call him "Lord Xuanyuan", while others who did not believe that he could truly compare with the Lord of the Universe would simply call him Lin Yan.
However, after this battle, the solid results are the most convincing.
Even though Lin Yan remained indifferent to the change of title, the various races of the universe felt it was a bit too hasty. So, based on the "Strongest Talent Secret Method," the title of Origin Master gradually spread. Now serving as the Guardian Divine Lord, the Ancestor God Cult is also named "Origin Divine Lord."
"Beast God," Lin Yan said.
"Origin Divine Lord." A colossal figure, radiating golden light and covered in countless golden scales, said in a deep voice, "Welcome to your arrival. The Three Ancestral Gods are waiting for you."
