To obtain the Beast God Inheritance Token, one generally has to go and get it oneself. But the universe is vast, and the Beast God Inheritance Token extremely rare. It's entirely a matter of luck. With good luck, even a World Lord might accidentally obtain one; with bad luck, even Universe Venerable might search the entire universe and still not find one.

Especially since the resources of the clan belong to all of humanity, although there are countless treasures among them, they must be given to the most talented, and the decision must be made after discussion among all the clan's high-ranking members. Don't be fooled by how readily the highest-ranking members agreed to Lu Yan'an's Beast God Inheritance Token this time; all of this is based on his incredibly terrifying talent and current strength!

Take, for example, the King Zhenyan of the Origin in the original story. His talent was average, but he cultivated for Years very long time. With the guidance of powerful figures within his clan, he gradually reached the Invincible King. It was impossible for the King Zhenyan to directly apply for a Beast God Inheritance Token from within his clan. His teacher also applied on his behalf, but the clan kept rejecting the application. Therefore, if he wanted to obtain the Beast God Inheritance Token, he had to obtain it himself.

After reviewing all the information, Lu Yan'an recalled his previous negotiation with the Lord of Darkness.

"Afterwards, when you go to the Ancestral God Religion to receive the inheritance, you must be careful and not reveal your identity casually. Especially Lu Yan'an's identity, as this will make you a target of everyone's suspicion!" The Lord of Darkness warned him solemnly.

"Teacher, I understand what you mean! I guess my true identity has been completely exposed by the Monster Race and the Machine Race by now." Lu Yan'an nodded, his expression extremely serious.

"Yes, the King Huanshi is actually World Lord! They will definitely make this information public, and they will even push for its release. Once this news spreads... Haha, a World Lord this powerful? This is unacceptable! At that time, you will not only have to face the Monster Race and the Machine Race, but also many other top races will be eyeing you, wanting to assassinate you." The Lord of Darkness sighed, "Naturally, my Human Race will also know this, and with the Supreme Treasure and Heavy Treasure you possess, even the Universe Venerable might not be able to resist taking action against you."

"I've been concealing your identity King Huanshi for a long time, even from many of the highest levels of the clan. I even helped you completely separate your identities as the King Huanshi from Lu Yan'an within the Hong Alliance. But it'll be soon... They probably already know about your situation."

Just as the Lord of Darkness and Lu Yan'an himself had predicted, things instantly ignited the entire human race!

The Human King Huanshi is actually a World Lord!

This news was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, shocking even the most powerful beings. It spread at an astonishing speed, and within almost a day, many powerful figures among the Human Race knew about it. Throughout the entire Hong Alliance City, one could almost hear the discussions among the King-level Immortal about the King Huanshi.

"The King Huanshi is actually World Lord."

"He possesses Invincible King combat power, and his mastery of secret techniques and Law Comprehension is ridiculously high! How could such a powerful figure be World Lord? Can World Lord be this strong? Impossible!"

"That's impossible."

"The news is absolutely true. Both the Monster Race and the Machine Race have issued public bounties to kill this King Huanshi. Moreover, they all want to Soul Enslavement before killing him, ensuring that this King Huanshi can never be resurrected!"

"If the King Huanshi were World Lord, how could so many powerful figures not be able to recognize him? The aura of World Lord is completely different from that of an Immortal."

"When the several Universe Master confronted each other earlier, didn't the Monster Race's Universe Master make it very clear that this King Huanshi truly possesses a Supreme Treasure? Supreme Treasure can conceal one's aura and release a certain amount of pressure."

"Supreme Treasure?"

"The King Huanshi possesses Supreme Treasure? Universe Venerable are all madly vying for Supreme Treasure."

That's insane.

The news spread like wildfire: "The King Huanshi is World Lord," and "The King Huanshi possesses Supreme Treasure"—these were things that would drive countless powerful individuals mad with envy. Let alone battles at the Immortal Level, even battles at the Venerable Level rarely saw the use of a Supreme Treasure. One can only imagine how astonishing and terrifying the allure of a Supreme Treasure truly was.

"If the King Huanshi is World Lord, how did he manage to reach such a level? His heaven-defying and terrifying abilities remind me of the Venerable Youhou from the past."

After Lu Yan'an's identity was maliciously exposed by the Kuang Xiao Master, he was instantly thrust into the spotlight. The Lord of Darkness had previously advised him to prepare properly, but no one expected this day to come so soon!

"Human Lu Yan'an, the Invincible King Huanshi, wow, Lu Yan'an's playing a bit too fancy."

"If it weren't for that powerful being at the level of Universe Master from Alien Race, we might not even know about these things."

"Lu Yan'an is a master of concealing his talents and biding his time. I was wondering before, how could such a genius remain hidden and unknown?"

In the vast universe, among billions of races, at least in the last ten days or so, the vast majority of races have learned of the "King Huanshi." This has made the King Huanshi's name known throughout the entire universe, reaching the ears of countless powerful beings.

The myriad races all know that the Illusion King is a genius nurtured by humanity. As for the true identity of the Illusion King, it was no longer a secret when the Lord of Mad Owls pointed it out at a glance: the Illusion King was Lu Yan'an. The human race was alright; many immortals only had suspicions... but after hearing the description of the events, everyone else was certain that it was the Illusion King, Lu Yan'an, because among the realm lords that the human race could trace, only Lu Yan'an had this ability.

Regardless, while the identity of the King Huanshi may not be the most top-tier super existence in the universe, it at least already possesses a formidable reputation and will be remembered throughout the history of all races in the universe. Many powerful beings cultivate and fight, all they seek... is to truly become famous among billions of races. Lu Yan'an, however, achieved this goal by taking advantage of the support of these numerous Alien Race.

"This is just the beginning of my rise. Since I've been pushed to the forefront, it will only make me stronger. Monster Race, Machine Race... you'd better wash your necks and wait!" Lu Yan'an, his eyes filled with the flames of fighting spirit.

He gripped the hexagonal metal plaque tightly in his hand. With his strength at the World Lord Level, he could easily crush the core of a star. But the hexagonal metal plaque remained completely still, without even the slightest deformation.

"It truly lives up to its reputation as the Beast God Inheritance Token. The hardness of this material alone is comparable to that of ordinary G-grade metal!" Lu Yan'an examined the Beast God Inheritance Token in his hand. It was engraved with a strange image of the Beast God. At a rough glance, the engraving had a rich abundance of the Time Fusion Law, somewhat similar to the Yan Guang image he had seen on Mingguang Star before.

"Let's take another look at the inherited information inside!" With that thought, Lu Yan'an sent out a wisp of invisible Spiritual Force that quickly entered the hexagonal metal plaque. The moment his Spiritual Force penetrated it, it was as if he had entered an ancient world.

"Hold the Beast God Inheritance Token and go to the Inheritance Land. If your talent, aptitude, and abilities are suitable, you may be able to obtain the Beast God Inheritance. The cosmic coordinates of the Inheritance Land are..." A message directly entered his mind, describing the hexagonal metal token as the Beast God Inheritance Token of the "Light and Time" Fusion Laws.

"This method is truly extraordinary, and it is indeed worthy of being the screening method used by the Ancestral God Religion, the number one power in the Primal Universe. Now with its help, my progress in the Time Fusion Law will be greatly accelerated!" In fact, the guidance on the Fusion Laws within the Human Race can only go up to the level of Venerable. Even the Darkness Chaos Stele that Lu Yan'an is currently comprehending ultimately interprets the application of the laws of time and space.

Within the entire human race, there is not a single powerful individual who has cultivated the Way of the Beast God to the level of Universe Master. In fact, it can be said that apart from the Ancestral God Religion, the number one power in the Primal Universe, it is impossible for any other place to produce an acquired Way of the Beast God to the Universe Master Acquired Beast God!

Without the guidance of the Acquired Beast God, it meant that the path of the Time Fusion Law at the Universe Master stage was severed. To make further breakthroughs, new guidance was needed. Fortunately, the Way of the Beast God of the Ancestral God Religion Sect helped Lu Yan'an continue his path from Universe Venerable to Universe Master, perfectly matching his cultivation path.

This is why Lu Yan'an insisted on adding a Beast God Inheritance Token during this negotiation. First, it allows him to leave the Outer Region Battlefield and choose a new training ground for himself; second, it allows him to continue his cultivation path. Compared to becoming the Universe Master through simultaneous cultivation of time and space, Lu Yan'an seems to have more talent and interest in the Way of the Beast God of Time Fusion Law.
