Granting a Treasure

Above Zijing Island, hundreds of millions of inheritors were densely packed, all looking up at the sky.

Lu Yan'an arrived later than the other inheritors present, but this did not diminish his excitement at all.

Like a tiny glimmer of light slowly emerging in the darkness, it eventually developed into a spark, instantly enveloping the entire sky above Zijing Island and emitting an incomparably dazzling light! Even those present, whose minimum strength was that of King-level Immortal, could not see the Five-Colored Aurora Lake hidden beneath the light.

Within that dazzling light, a colossal figure could be faintly seen, emanating an oppressive aura.

"Come!"

A guiding voice resounded in everyone's heart, causing the hundreds of millions of inheritors who were originally in mid-air to fall to the ground with a whoosh. Even the inheritors of the Universe Venerable, who possessed the strength of Universe Overlord, could not resist this guidance and fell one after another.

Gradually, the enormous figure in the sky slowly descended, slowly revealing its true form.

Its body was covered in Secret Pattern, and its golden fur gave it an air of nobility. Its body slowly appeared in the sky, drawing everyone's attention to it. The most dazzling feature of its proud head was its pair of huge eyes.

Although it didn't carry any emotion, just the way its gaze swept over them brought immense pressure to the inheritors below!

Divine power is like a prison!

Looking down at the numerous inheritors below... none of them dared to meet his gaze.

"Is this the true aura of my cheap senior brother? He's truly terrifyingly strong!" Lu Yan'an only glanced up and felt the enormous and terrifying presence high in the sky, emanating endless pressure from it. "It's said that after fully inheriting the Eight Directions Beast Gods positions of the Ancestral God Religion, one's strength will undergo a qualitative transformation. It seems that the rumors are indeed true!"

All the inheritors who had come to watch the spectacle submitted under this pressure. Only Lu Yan'an remained unmoved, staring intently at the Lord Mengguang slowly descending from the sky, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever. Although he was currently only a Universe Venerable, his strength was comparable to that of Universe Master. The Lord Mengguang, in essence, was also just a Universe Master. Even though his strength had undergone a transformation after inheriting the Beast God Venerable Position, he was still not strong enough to make someone of similar Universe Master strength bow down.

"I am the Lord Mengguang, one of the Eight Directions Beast Gods... the Light Beast God." Its voice was deep and resonant, and the light emanating from its body enveloped the entire Zijing Island.

"The Inheritor Venerable Huan Shi."

The sound came out.

An invisible force descended and bound Lu Yan'an, causing him to slowly rise into the sky. Instantly, hundreds of millions of inheritors from various races in the universe below looked up in astonishment at the slowly rising "Venerable Huan Shi." They all understood... The descent of the Light Beast God was for this human Venerable Huan Shi!

"Is this the control of space and time? It's quite similar to the World Tree's talent for Control Space-Time!" Lu Yan'an felt the invisible force binding him; it wasn't time or space, but a power from a higher level.

He had personally experienced the World Tree's Innate Secret Technique of Control Space-Time. Compared to the current technique of the Lord Mengguang, the Innate Secret Technique seemed rather rudimentary, more like a weakened version of the Universe Master's Control Space-Time! Of course, the bigger reason was that the casters of the Innate Secret Technique of Control Space-Time had not fully comprehended the complete laws of space and time, which made the Innate Secret Technique seem inferior to the Universe Master's Control Space-Time.

Since it was his senior brother who had initiated the Control Space-Time, Lu Yan'an did not resist and slowly rose with the traction force.

This moment-

It was like a slowly rising sun, so dazzling and captivating, attracting the attention of hundreds of millions of inheritors below.

Meanwhile, the Lord Mengguang also looked down, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on the Venerable Huan Shi, "Lu Yan'an," his gentle and benevolent gaze impossible to conceal! The power that had previously bound Lu Yan'an vanished into thin air, and at this moment... the Lord Mengguang slowly opened his mouth, emitting a rumbling sound once more.

"Huan Shi," the Lord Mengguang called out, his words carrying a businesslike tone, but Lu Yan'an could sense an unusual smile in his voice.

Lu Yan'an stood in mid-air and respectfully bowed, saying, "Beast Lord Shen!"

"Your strength, your progress, your will—all satisfy me." The Lord Mengguang looked down, his gaze fixed entirely on Lu Yan'an. "I have a treasure I wish to bestow upon you."

Whoosh--

The hundreds of millions of inheritors below were immediately in an uproar, almost all of them showing expressions of shock and envy.

"They actually bestowed the treasure publicly."

"The Beast God himself has descended to bestow treasures!"

"Such a commotion, the treasure bestowed must be a top-tier Supreme Treasure, otherwise how could it be worthy of the lofty Beast God's status? This Venerable Huan Shi is too lucky, he actually obtained Supreme Treasure!" The inheritors couldn't help but whisper among themselves, all of them extremely excited, and the Light Beast God did not stop them.

It was delighted to see the envy and jealousy of the other inheritors.

"What's the big deal? If you can possess the combat power of Universe Venerable level the World Lord Level, and break through to become Universe Venerable as soon as you break through, the Ancestral God Religion will probably take special care of you and bestow treasures upon you."

"This Venerable Huan Shi is far more ferocious than the Zhu Chong Wang and the Venerable Ziyu!"

"Even the Zhu Chong Wang and Venerable Ziyu were publicly bestowed with treasures back then, and more than once."

"Ha! How can you compare them? The Zhu Chong Wang and Venerable Ziyu haven't joined any other forces; their primary allegiance is to the Ancestral God Religion! They're practically on their own, so why would the Ancestral God Religion be stingy with their loyalty?"

Lu Yan'an couldn't hear any of the discussions below, nor did he care to listen; he was now filled with pure joy and anticipation.

"Thank you Beast God!" Lu Yan'an bowed respectfully.

"You must continue your efforts and not slacken." The Lord Mengguang's voice boomed, and at the same time, a huge golden sphere of light suddenly appeared in front of him. This sphere of light was about tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter, and it began to fall downwards, heading directly towards Lu Yan'an, like a shooting star.

As it fell, the light gradually began to fade.

When it fell in front of Lu Yan'an, all the light had completely disappeared, leaving only a miniature palace. Around this floating palace, clusters of bright flames, as bright as stars, began to fly rapidly toward the palace. Each flame compressed and shrank as it approached the palace, turning into tiny flames that quickly merged into the solidified flames within the palace. Once merged, the aura of the entire palace began to grow stronger.

In just a moment, all the countless flames of various colors surrounding the palace vanished, while the solidified flames within the palace itself faintly flickered with fire. Lu Yan'an stared blankly at this scene as the miniature palace slowly descended and Lu Yan'an hovered in front of him.

"A palace?" Lu Yan'an blinked.

"I believe it will be of great use to you, so accept it." The Lord Mengguang looked down and smiled. It was confident that Lu Yan'an would be very satisfied with this Supreme Treasure.

"Yes."

Lu Yan'an respectfully replied, and with a thought, he directly stored the miniature palace, which was essentially his own, into his World Ring. As for studying this treasure... Lu Yan'an planned to wait until the Beast God left before conducting any research. Starting to study it on the spot would be impolite!

"Huan Shi, do not disappoint me," the Lord Mengguang said with a hint of a smile, offering this instruction.

Then, boom!

The faint light in the world quietly disappeared, and the enormous figure of the Lord Mengguang vanished into thin air. The invisible pressure from before also disappeared, and Thunder Island returned to normal. The large number of inheritors who had been suppressed and could only stay on the ground before suddenly seemed to explode, and they all started talking about what had just happened, creating a noisy scene.

"Congratulations, Venerable Huan Shi."

"Congratulations, Venerable Huan Shi, on obtaining another Supreme Treasure." Many other Alien Race inheritors even came up to speak to him directly.

Lu Yan'an merely smiled and quickly left to return to his residence. Lu Yan'an ignored all other powerful figures who wanted to exchange ideas, leaving many inheritors puzzled.

"What exactly is that treasure?"

"I don't know, whether it's my vision or the Beast God's intention, I can't see the appearance of this treasure at all."

"Me too! I can't see anything clearly at all, I can only see a ball of light getting smaller and smaller."

"Alas, it seems the Beast God is deliberately preventing us from seeing the appearance of that Supreme Treasure!"
