The Act
"How is this possible?" The Double-Faced Ancestral God's expression froze for a moment, then he murmured.
The Zuoshanke, with overwhelming power, completely ignored the ugly expression on the face of the Two-Faced Zuoshanke Double-Faced Ancestral God and threw a punch directly downwards. Just then... a golden chain suddenly appeared in the void, binding the Zuoshanke's arm and preventing him from throwing the punch.
"You think you can borrow the power of this Primal Universe so easily?" The Zuoshanke laughed immediately. "My understanding of the power of this Primal Universe is far deeper than yours! I won't give it that chance!"
At this moment, another emerald green chain extended from the void, directly binding the Zuoshanke's other arm, and a light blue chain also stretched out from the void... One after another, chains were born from the void, each chain silent yet carrying an irresistible power, binding the Zuoshanke layer by layer.
"As long as I don't unleash power exceeding the sixth rank in an instant, the restrictions of this Primal Universe will be useless!" The Zuoshanke glanced at the ugly face of the Double-Faced Ancestral God. He saw that the Ancestral God had deliberately weakened its aura, even to the point of being weaker than when the battle had just begun. At this moment, the chains that bound it and extended from the void gradually faded away.
"Everything has its rules, and the Will of the Original Universe is no exception. As long as you grasp this red line and don't cross it, and don't give it a chance, then its power is equivalent to nothing! Many people are too foolish, blindly believing in the power of this Origin Will of the Primal Universe!" The Zuoshanke smiled as he looked at the Double-Faced Ancestral God in front of him.
"Old friend, I admit your strength is indeed terrifying!" The Double-Faced Ancestral God coldly looked at the Zuoshanke before him. "Even if any one of our Three Ancestral Gods were to fight you one-on-one with this Supreme True Treasure, we would not be able to defeat you! But in the Primal Universe... no one can shake my Ancestral God Religion Sect. My Ancestral God Religion is the Guardian of the Universe Operating Laws, and naturally receives the blessings of the Universe Origin! You can suppress one of my Ancestral God, but do you think you can suppress three of them?"
The Zuoshanke stared at the Double-Faced Ancestral God in front of him.
The Double-Faced Ancestral God also glanced back defiantly.
The two are facing each other from afar.
"Moreover, with me here, your assassination attempt on this Venerable Huan Shi Lu Yan'an is destined to fail! Although my methods cannot cause you much harm, protecting someone here is not so difficult," the Double-Faced Ancestral God continued.
Upon hearing this, the Zuoshanke remained unmoved. Its purpose in coming to the Ancestral God Religion to "assassinate" Lu Yan'an was not as simple as just assassination. Now that the time was ripe, and it had already given its due to the Machine Race Father God, it accepted the offer from the Double-Faced Ancestral God.
"Double-Faced Ancestral God, this is the Primal Universe. If this were the Universe Ocean... well, you'd better wait! I'll show your Ancestral God Religion the consequences of angering me!"
"We, the Three Ancestral Gods, never go to the Universe Ocean!" the Double-Faced Ancestral God replied.
"Little fellow." The Zuoshanke turned to look at Lu Yan'an, who was being protected behind the Lord Mengguang, "That's enough for now. Consider yourself lucky! You had Soul-type Supreme Treasure protecting you. This time, your Supreme Treasure should have been destroyed by my attack. You won't be so lucky next time!"
Boom!
The Zuoshanke suddenly soared into the sky, its speed far exceeding the speed of light, directly breaking through the barrier of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and disappearing instantly.
The chaotic and shattered universe returned to calm. None of the flowers and plants on the entire Zijing Island suffered any damage, and the Five-Colored Aurora Lake floated calmly in the sky. In fact, apart from Lu Yan'an, the other inheritors on Zijing Island only felt the spatial tremors but had no idea what was happening.
At the same time, the Virtual God Power that had been dormant on Lu Yan'an's soul resurfaced. Just as Lu Yan'an's expression changed and he prepared to withstand the attack of this divine power, it transformed into six large characters of the Universal Language and imprinted into his soul... After completing its task, this divine power truly dissipated into nothingness.
Lu Yan'an was left alone, staring blankly at the sky for a long time.
The Ancestral God and the Zuoshanke have both disappeared.
"Lu Yan'an, snap out of it." Suddenly, the voice of the Ancestral God rang in his ears.
Lu Yan'an, who was still in a daze, was startled awake by these words! He glanced around and saw two figures sitting in the empty space of the pavilion in the back of his mansion. They were the Double-Faced Ancestral God and the Lord Mengguang.
"Ancestral Lord Shen! Beast Lord Shen!" Lu Yan'an flashed down and called out.
The Double-Faced Ancestral God looked at Lu Yan'an with his fair and benevolent face, which immediately made Lu Yan'an. Lu Yan'an repeatedly expressed his gratitude to the two of them, saying, "Thank you, Lord Shen, for saving me."
The Five-Colored Five-Colored Aurora Lake enveloped the entire Core Land Ancestral God Religion Sect. Its sudden disappearance indeed attracted the attention of many islands, the Eight Directions Beast God Palace, the Guardian Beast God Palace, the 72 Divine Generals Continent, and more. Just how significant was the disappearance of this sect's treasured "Five-Colored Aurora Lake"?
Although things quickly returned to normal, it still sparked endless debate.
"The Five-Colored Aurora Lake is Supreme True Treasure. It can't be fully utilized unless in a critical moment. Usually, even a small amount of Aurora is enough to annihilate an enemy. In this situation, it must be that a powerful figure in the Ancestral God Religion has activated its full power to defend against the enemy!"
"Even dealing with the Universe Master wouldn't require activating a Supreme True Treasure, right? Could it be the legendary Universe Supreme Being?"
Who exactly is it?
The Ancestral God Religion has a large number of Outer Member who generally live on other islands. They discuss the matter extensively and also secretly pass the news back to their respective backers!
As a result, news of the disturbance at the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, centered around the Ancestral God Religion, spread quietly and rapidly.
"The Five-Colored Aurora Lake, the most treasured artifact of the Ancestral God Religion Sect, disappeared instantly after being used once, and only recovered a moment later."
Something big must have happened.
"Could it be that the Universe Supreme Being has infiltrated the Core Land the Ancestral God Religion, driven to this point?"
The other nine super powers in the universe were not stupid and quickly came to their own conclusions. In particular, the three most powerful beings— the Zerg, the Monster Race, and the Machine Race— were secretly looking forward to it, because after the Machine Race Father God invited the "Zuoshanke," he immediately notified the Monster Race and the Zerg that they had already invited the Universe Supreme Being to take action.
"It must be because he killed Lu Yan'an that he angered the Ancestral God Religion."
"Haha, as long as we kill Lu Yan'an, with that Zuoshanke's abilities, he can easily leave."
The news spread quickly to the outside world, but Lu Yan'an was completely unaware of it. In particular, because the "Double-Faced Ancestral God" controlled the universe, the inheritors on Zijing Island did not see the scene of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake disappearing instantly and then recovering in a moment.
"If Mengguang hadn't been watching you closely and protecting you at the crucial moment, how could I, in the Ancestral God Palace, have been able to save you in time when you suddenly encountered danger?" the Double-Faced Ancestral God laughed. "That Zuoshanke is incredibly powerful; he must have already appeared on Zijing Island to observe you. After understanding your behavior patterns, he sought an opportunity to strike! If it weren't for Mengguang, this variable, watching you closely, I'm afraid I would have perished by the time I arrived... or even been Soul Control."
"Only Mengguang's strength, enhanced by the Beast God Venerable Position, could briefly contend with the Universe Supreme Being! If it were someone else, protecting you would be quite a hassle! So, you really need to thank Mengguang!" The Double-Faced Ancestral God said with considerable emotion. Even it couldn't help but marvel at Lu Yan'an's genius luck; if it were someone else under the sudden attack of the Zuoshanke, they probably wouldn't even have a corpse left.
Of course, it was also unaware that the Zuoshanke's assassination attempt carried no murderous intent whatsoever. Even if Lu Yan'an was unattended for a period of time, it would have waited until Lu Yan'an had help before making its move. Moreover, the fact that it shattered Lu Yan'an's Soul-type Supreme Treasure without harming his soul seemed like a performance staged specifically to give its employer an explanation.
