"Once you have completed your palace, you can leave a token there, and then you can be directly God Kingdom Teleportation," said the Venerable of the Canglan Race. "This Zijing Island will also be a place you visit frequently in the future, unless you perish."

"And if you have Soul Slave, remember, never bring them out," said the Canglan Race's Candidate God General. "Once you bring them out, they will be attacked by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and instantly annihilated... Even if you really have to bring them out, at most, keep them in your own palace. The palace is your territory. Once you leave the palace, you absolutely cannot bring any servants out. Of course, life forms with vassal attributes, such as plant life forms and Metal Lifeform, are fine."

"Furthermore, there are no exceptions among inheritors; palaces have restrictions, but island lords are not." The Canglan Race Venerable pointed to the majestic palace. "That is the palace of the Zijing Island Lord. I will take you there."

Treading on the mountain range.

"Look up," he said, pointing to the sky.

Lu Yan'an subconsciously looked up.

"This is--"

He witnessed a magnificent and unbelievable scene. Looking up from this vantage point, he could see a crack in the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Through this crack, he could see a dazzlingly large palace deep within the core of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Around that palace, which radiated endless light, eight slightly smaller palaces floated in the air.

"That is the true core of the Ancestral God Religion." The Venerable of the Canglan Race pointed into the distance, saying enviously, "That largest palace is the Ancestral God Palace! It is the residence of the Ancestral God. Although our Ancestral God Religion has Three Ancestral Gods, usually only one is stationed in the core area."

"The eight smaller palaces surrounding the Ancestral God Palace are the Eight Directions Beast God Palace, the residences of the Eight Beast Gods."

"Around the Eight Directions Beast God Palace are more than ten other temples with inscriptions, which are the Guardian Beast God Palace."

"Outside the Guardian Beast God Palace, there are 72 continents. Of course, from our perspective, we can only see 63 continents... those are the continents where the 72 Divine Generals reside, known as the Divine General Continent. It is said that each of the Divine General Continent is no less powerful than Zijing Island."

"The outermost densely packed stars are the 3,000 Red Star World, and each Star World... is also the residence of a Divine Envoy."

"The Ancestral God Palace, the Eight Directions Beast God Palace, the Guardian Beast God Palace, the 72 Divine Generals Continent, and the 3000 Divine Envoys World—this is the core of the Ancestral God Religion."

Led by this Venerable, Lu Yan'an arrived at the palace of a Guardian Beast God. The palace's architectural style was rather rough, and the building materials were basically just piles of raw materials. The only thing with some depth was the series of Beast God Roaring Picture carved on the palace gate. From Lu Yan'an's perspective, he could instantly perceive the laws displayed in these carvings.

The Canglan Race Venerable led Lu Yan'an to the front of the palace, and the two looked at the palace gate together.

"Go in. My mission ends here," said the Venerable of the Canglan Race. "I hope you can live a little longer on Zijing Island. Don't perish at any time, because unless you obtain another Inheritance Token, you won't be able to come back. Heh, I doubt many clans would give you Inheritance Token twice."

"Thank you, Venerable." Lu Yan'an bowed slightly to the Venerable of the Canglan Race to express his gratitude. Although Lu Yan'an was already familiar with many things, the Venerable's explanations along the way allowed him to compare them with his original knowledge and fill in any gaps.

The Venerable of the Canglan Race smiled slightly, and with a "whoosh," he instantly broke through the air and transformed into a stream of Flowing Light, flying directly into the multicolored Aurora deep in the sky.

"Then let's go in," Lu Yan'an thought to himself.

Without further hesitation, he slowly approached the palace gate and stepped inside. The palace was quite spacious, Lu Yan'an walked for a long time before finally exiting the hall.

This is the front hall. Behind the front hall is a spacious courtyard, and behind the courtyard is the most expansive and majestic main hall.

"Greetings, new successor!" A man sitting cross-legged in the palace courtyard spoke. He had a normal human appearance, but unlike ordinary people, his eyes were calm and still, with a sense of world-weariness. Even when he saw Lu Yan'an, who was also human, his eyes did not reveal any other emotions, like a tamed beast.

Lu Yan'an knew that this was also a human Universe Venerable Soul Enslavement! For some reason, a sense of sorrow welled up in his heart. Although he had seen servants enslaved by Soul Secret Technique before, they were always Alien Race servants of other races. Now, seeing a human servant of Alien Race in this Ancestral God Religion, the complexity of his feelings was unimaginable. Moreover, the fact that this servant was Universe Venerable made him feel even more sorrowful.

The Venerable ignored Lu Yan'an's complex expression, or perhaps he had long since grown accustomed to such attitudes over the countless Years. Upon Lu Yan'an's arrival, the human Venerable, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly stood up and smiled at Lu Yan'an, "I didn't expect to see a human, it's truly delightful. Hello, I'm in charge of the shifts at this palace during this period, as well as relaying messages to the Island Lord."

Lu Yan'an glanced at the venerable Venerable on duty, who exuded a Buddhist aura, then bowed slightly and said, "I am the newly arrived successor, and I have come to pay my respects to the Guardian Beast God."

"Please wait a while. I have already sent a message to the Guardian Beast God Guardian Beast God, but he is currently busy. Please wait," the Venerable said with a smile. "Be prepared for the Beast God to be absent for a long time! According to the rules of the Ancestral God Religion, the Beast Lord Shen will appear at most every 10 years. If the Guardian Beast God feels that he cannot arrive within 10 years, he will ask another Guardian Beast God to take over."

Seemingly recognizing Lu Yan'an as a fellow human, the rotating Venerable kindly offered a reminder: "The Beast Lord Shen will appear at the earliest, and at the latest, within ten years. The unluckiest person I've ever received waited over eight years before the Guardian Beast God appeared. Just rest assured, our Ancestral God Religion has corresponding contingency plans and procedures for all of this."

Hearing this, Lu Yan'an could only shake his head helplessly. He then sat down cross-legged and silently began to comprehend the laws. After all, no one knew when the Guardian Beast God would arrive. In the original story, even City Lord Luo and King Zhenyan waited for 12 days!

Six months later.

Lu Yan'an was sitting cross-legged in the central courtyard of the palace, his eyes closed, quietly comprehending the Fusion Laws. Suddenly, an incomparably domineering aura appeared in his Spiritual Force perception, instantly enveloping the entire palace.

Lu Yan'an immediately opened his eyes, only to find that the figure of the rotating Venerable had already disappeared, and only this sentence appeared in his mind.

"The Guardian Beast God has arrived."

Seeing this, Lu Yan'an immediately stood up and began to prepare for being summoned by this Guardian Beast God.

"Come in." A gentle, soothing voice came from the main hall of the palace.

Upon hearing the summons from the Beast God, Lu Yan'an dared not be negligent in the slightest and obediently entered the main hall.

Upon entering the main hall, Lu Yan'an saw a figure sitting cross-legged on the high throne. It was a strange being resembling a Golden Horned Beast. Unlike ordinary Golden Horned Beast, its skin was azure, and although its aura was vast, it lacked any sense of savagery... Just hearing the voice of this Beast God made Lu Yan'an feel as if he were immersed in gentle waves, so light and soft.

"This Guardian Beast God is no ordinary being," Lu Yan'an thought to himself. "He must have achieved mastery in cultivating 'water and space,' comprehended the Heart of the Beast God, and become the Beast God of the Universe Master. In particular, his aura is truly unique."

"From this moment on, you are the inheritor of Zijing Island." The gentle voice came from the Beast God before him. "First, I grant you the authority to enter the 'Glory World'." As soon as he finished speaking, an object resembling a Light Brain appeared out of thin air and flew directly towards Lu Yan'an.

"This is a receiver for the virtual world. The Glory World... is a key virtual world of my Ancestral God Religion. It's similar to your human Virtual Universe, although much smaller in scale. But the Glory World serves the same purpose for you. You'll find out when you log in later."

Lu Yan'an casually took the receiver and examined it with great curiosity. However, this receiver was quite similar to the intelligent Light Brain used by Human Race, and even their functions were almost the same. The only difference was that its version was probably lower than that of the Light Brain used by Human Race.
