Recruitment

"Fortunately, I only came to observe the battle and didn't do anything rash. Otherwise, the Strongest World Tree wouldn't have waited until it Mantu Divine General before pointing out my presence. Killing someone is just a matter of a quick death; with its strength, killing me would be a matter of a moment. The fact that it didn't act immediately suggests that I must be of some use to it!"

"Its status is exceptionally high. Even the Three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Religion might have to ask it for help with some matters. I just don't know what it's planning right now, but it doesn't matter. My Original Core has already returned to the Original Secret Realm with my World Tree Clone, and this Clone of mine is Energy Lifeform is completely immune to Soul Attack. At least my life is guaranteed, and the rest is just a matter of dealing with whatever comes my way."

When the Demon Beast Clone spoke, revealing Lu Yan'an's presence, the enormous elemental face formed by the Strongest World Tree quickly flashed through his mind, and he immediately prepared to respond.

"Greetings, Your Excellency." The Demon Beast Clone bowed respectfully, while quickly mimicking the appearance of its Human Main Body. Now that it had been discovered, there was no need to hide anymore.

Furthermore, since the Strongest World Tree directly addressed him as a human, Lu Yan'an should naturally appear in human form as a sign of respect for the Strongest World Tree.

"You are extremely bold, daring to come and watch even though you clearly know that there are Overlord- level figures fighting here." The massive elemental face looked down. "In the past, no World Lord Level figure has ever dared to be so bold. You are the first in history to do so."

"I... I was hoping for the best," Lu Yan'an said respectfully. "After sensing the fluctuations of the collision between the two laws of energy outside Tree Island, I sent this Time Demon Beast Clone to observe the battle. Before, I was still hoping that the Time Demon Beast's mimicry would prevent me from being discovered, but now, seeing your power to Control Space-Time, I immediately understand that everything was under your observation."

The enormous, elemental face, formed from the fusion of the World Energy and the divine power of the laws, looked down upon and observed Lu Yan'an.

Lu Yan'an responded respectfully, showing no sign of panic.

"It's rare to see a little guy like you these days!" The massive, elemental face suddenly spoke. "Such talent and spirit are absolutely rare, even in hundreds of millions of epochs. It's just a pity that your personality is a bit reckless! Oh well, oh well, I really can't hold a grudge against a little guy like you." At this moment, the Strongest World Tree's voice transmission became gentler, and Lu Yan'an's emotions also calmed down.

"Thank you, sir!" Lu Yan'an said respectfully immediately.

The massive, elemental-shaped face slowly spoke, "Human King Huanshi, I've heard some things about you. You rely on your innate ability to Clones, so even if you're killed by the aftershocks of my battle, you can still revive. Is that why you dare to swagger over here to watch the fight?"

Lu Yan'an replied, "No, no, it's just that Mantu Divine General earlier. I also heard that he wanted to ask you for a branch of the World Tree. I figured that the battle on this Tree Island must have been between you and him, so I came here to find out more about this Divine General!"

"Hahaha..."

The enormous, elemental face emitted a laugh that, like a tidal wave, swept across the entire Tree Island. After a long while, the laughter gradually subsided, and a hearty expression slowly emerged on the enormous face. It looked at Lu Yan'an with a smile, "Your statement is quite interesting! A mere World Lord Level brat actually dares to try and investigate the background of an Overlord -level powerhouse. If I didn't know your true combat strength and background, I would probably be laughing at your unrealistic ambitions right now."

He knew that the "King Huanshi" was World Lord.

The fact that a World Lord was now contemplating how to uncover the secrets of an Overlord was indeed intriguing to Lu Yan'an.

"I was being hunted by this Mantu Divine General outside this Tree Island. After suffering a great loss, I barely managed to shake him off by taking advantage of the terrain of the Nine Nether Sea," Lu Yan'an said respectfully. "I was thinking that if I could find out how much strength this Mantu Divine General hiding, I could consider some escape plans next time. And it just so happens that I have my Time Demon Beast Clone with me. It can mimic the appearance of various creatures and objects, so I was also hoping for the best."

"Taking a chance?" The massive, elemental face looked down at Lu Yan'an, its voice gentle as it warned, "Little guy, this isn't just taking a chance, it's recklessness!"

"While your Demon Beast Clone's mimicry may appear incredibly realistic, the probability of it being detected is 100% if a powerful being scans it with their Spiritual Force! Moreover, if it were Universe Master Control Space-Time, you would be instantly detected simply by approaching the spacetime area they control."

Lu Yan'an was shocked when he heard this. He knew that the Demon Beast Clone would be exposed when scanned by Spiritual Force, after all, the Time Demon Beast and the Mosha Clan Clone were indeed different, not a race specializing in assassination. However, he really did not know that it would be instantly detected as long as it approached the spacetime range controlled by the Universe Master.

"Hmm? I'm afraid you yourself don't even know this situation?" The massive elemental face looked down and said with a faint smile, "Don't be so reckless as to barge into the scene of a battle between powerful figures in the future. You are considered a newly cultivated powerhouse of my Ancestral God Religion. It would be a great pity if you were to perish because of some common sense."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an nodded, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir!"

Seeing that Lu Yan'an seemed to have taken his words to heart, the massive face shape formed by the elements of the Strongest World Tree nodded with satisfaction.

"Lesson is over now. Let's get down to business!" said the Strongest World Tree.

"Serious business?" Lu Yan'an was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Yes, you need to consider whether you want to join the outer organization of my Ancestral God Religion as Outer Member!" As if afraid Lu Yan'an wouldn't understand, the massive elemental face continued, looking down at Lu Yan'an. "The Ancestral God Religion Sect has formal members and Outer Member. But the real fighting relies more on the Outer Member. The Outer Member of the Ancestral God Religion... are its most powerful military force!"

Lu Yan'an nodded in agreement.

The Ancestral God Religion has only a handful of official members, while its Outer Member comprise countless peerless geniuses from billions of races across the entire universe, including "Candidate Divine Envoy," "Candidate Divine General," and "inheritors of the Beast God Inheritance who have reached extremely high levels." Many of them possess the strength of Universe Overlord! This is an absolutely terrifying force.

"I am the Protector Venerable of the outer organization of the Ancestral God Religion — the World Tree!" The massive elemental face looked down at Lu Yan'an. "You, King Huanshi, are a key member of the outer organization of my Ancestral God Religion, and a genius powerhouse personally selected by one of my Beast God Ancestral God Religion."

Lu Yan'an blinked.

Protector Venerable? Beast God's Roll Call?

"The outer organization is divided into Protector Envoy, Guardian Venerable, Protector Venerable, and Protector God Lord." The massive, elemental face continued, looking down at Lu Yan'an, "The Venerables belong to either Protector God Lord or Beast God. You are very lucky. The one who specifically wants to recruit you this time is a true Beast God of my Ancestral God Religion. He is also the most ancient and powerful being among the Beast God, the 'Lord Mengguang'."

"Furthermore, although you have joined the peripheral organization, it will not make you an enemy of the Human Race," the Strongest World Tree said gently. "The peripheral organization has always been very free, with no usual ties. Occasionally, when my Ancestral God Religion has something to resolve, we will issue orders. If you are unwilling to do it, you can even write down your reasons, and the Ancestral God Religion will not force you."

"Join, or not?" The enormous face of the elemental being formed by the World Tree stared at Lu Yan'an.

Lu Yan'an blinked. Was there any need to refuse? Leaving aside the fact that the Lord Mengguang valued him so highly, just looking at the loose organization of the Ancestral God Religion Sect's outer network, he had no reason to refuse. Lu Yan'an finally understood the intentions of the Strongest World Tree before him. However, this was also a good thing for him!

"Greetings, Protector Venerable," Lu Yan'an said respectfully, bowing.
