Chen Qing fell silent after hearing Giant Axe's words and couldn't help sighing inwardly. By his own reckoning, the best place for Xiao Yu to appear would be the Galaxy. The Human Territory would also be fine, but Yuan wouldn't bother with such a trivial matter. Xiao Yu would be sealed again, and with only her instincts to guide her, she wouldn't be able to control herself. It'd be a joke if she ended up causing trouble along the borders. Besides, the other side wouldn't trust the Human Race. The secret realm will emerge soon, in the Ancestral God Secret Realm, and the Ancestral Gods will be there to receive her.
"Why should the Ancestral God Religion get involved in the affairs of the Human Race? We'll go bring her back ourselves."
Ice Lord had just managed to calm down. This was when he felt most favorably toward Chen Qing, so he immediately voiced his opinion.
"Junior Brother, the Ancestral God Secret Realm isn't a place you can just barge into."
Chaos City Lord cut Ice Lord off, then turned to Chen Qing. "How do you want to handle this?"
"Actually, the Ancestral God Secret Realm is under the will of the Primal Universe, so there's no need to worry about safety. And the Three Ancestral Gods definitely won't stand aside, so there's no need for a conflict.
"I'm just worried that when we first meet, the Ancestral Gods will notice I'm human and their aura will suddenly fluctuate, causing an accident. My little body couldn't take it!"
Though it was unlikely, Chen Qing wasn't planning to reveal the Cyan Jade Armor. For the armor to appear naturally, it would be best if each side thought the other had given it to him. Besides, he had confidence in Green Lotus. Even face-to-face with the strongest beings, she could hide it without being discovered.
"And my wives—their strength and talent aren't suited to staying in the Ancestral God Secret Realm. I'd like them to return to the territory first."
Chen Qing finished speaking and looked toward Palace Master Biluo. Biluo only nodded, then turned to Giant Axe.
"All right, little guy, don't overthink it. But I am indeed the best choice. The race can also prepare some resources for you."
Giant Axe finished with a smile and looked toward Chaos City Lord. Chaos usually handled these matters; Giant Axe only made decisions on important issues.
"Speaking of which, Chen Qing is the first to have made such a huge contribution to the race before becoming an Immortal. There isn't much the race can truly offer him."
After speaking, Chaos City Lord projected the plan he had drawn up. Aside from an Ordinary Supreme Treasure palace and a Peak Soul Supreme Treasure, everything else was a High-grade Supreme Treasure, and Chen Qing could even choose more than one. They had also thoughtfully prepared two sets of suitable precious treasures and Ordinary Supreme Treasures for Chen Qing's wives, along with G-class spaceships, advanced detectors, and more. The rest consisted of privileges such as the right to reside in the Initial Universe, though Chen Qing didn't pay much attention to those.
"Chaos, looks like you and your brothers threw in quite a lot!"
At Peng Gong's words, everyone laughed. After all, they all knew what was in the Race Treasury. "A little extra is only right. It's just that this kid is slippery. Who knows if he'll even make use of it?"
Darkness's voice was low, tinged with a fierce edge. "Back then, he insisted on getting ready to run off early. I nearly ended up wasting all that effort!"
Everyone laughed at the memory, then felt a little envious. Why hadn't they been the ones to find him back then?
Chen Qing paid no heed to their banter and looked through the items himself. Fortunately, he knew the Human Race was poor and hadn't expected much. The Supreme Treasures were all fairly well suited to him, at least based on what he had shown them—for example, many favored water and space attributes. "What do you think? Any thoughts, just like last time?"
Seeing that Chen Qing had finished looking, Chaos City Lord smiled and added, "Don't be fooled by how ordinary these things look. Many of us use them too. As for the two little ones' items, including the Star Origin Core, they'll be handed over to Biluo. You can choose whatever materials the race has."
Chen Qing thought for a moment and didn't refuse the race's kindness. He might not need the items, but studying the secret patterns on them could be useful. He could also give them to his wives later.
"These are already very generous. Thank you, seniors. Also, I'd like to use Supreme Treasure points to exchange for some rare materials."
At the Jade Smoke Pavilion, the three of them lay in each other's arms after their battle. Chen Qing stroked the smooth backs of the two women. "How did Senior Biluo arrange your cultivation?"
"Master thinks we should go to the Initial Universe first and use the Chaos Stele there to sort out our laws."
Jiang Fang's languid voice drifted over. She recovered quickly, but even she couldn't keep up with this brute. "The Initial Universe! World Lord-level cultivators get three thousand years there, right? In the Primal Universe, it's ten thousand! Palace Master Biluo did that on purpose, didn't she?"
The two women didn't lift their heads, but their fingers landed in perfect unison on Chen Qing's waist. "Young man, don't act so innocent. Didn't you prepare avatars for us? You must have planned this for a while.
"Tell your big sister—which race do you like? We'll make your wish come true."
"Don't be ridiculous!" Chen Qing retorted with a straight face. "Don't accuse me. I'm afraid Palace Master Biluo will come over and kill you, then bring you back to life again and again!"
"Giggle, giggle!"
"Your avatars are mainly for staying alive and cultivating, so there's only one requirement: affinity with the superior laws. There aren't many Special Lifeforms with fewer than 150 times the genetic level to choose from, and their divine bodies won't be very large, so there's no need to fixate on them.
"You could consider some energy lifeforms. They have no souls, so they can't be enslaved. It'll be safer when you go adventuring."
"Don't worry, I know my limits. You be careful out there!"
"Aren't you confident in my abilities, Sister Fang? I'm quite experienced at running away, and my willpower is no weaker than Big Brother's. No one could possibly enslave me."
"Better safe than sorry. Even a mighty expert like Master has to respect the universe. Don't go getting yourself—bah, anyway, just be careful."
Chen Qing didn't argue further, lest they worry even more. The secret realm would emerge in a few years, and he planned to gather more resources before then. The Star Spirit Bees were a must, and he'd need to prepare some flowers and plants for them. The Virtual Company was interested in those too. Unfortunately, Xiao Yu couldn't help him nurture treasures right now. Otherwise, he could refine some more precious treasures, which would save a lot of effort. He could also cultivate the Cloud-Touching Vines belonging to Sister Fang and Yao Rao. Once they left, the vines could break through to Immortality right away, making travel much more convenient.
In the Ancestral God Palace in the Ancestral God Secret Realm, the Three Ancestral Gods opened their eyes, gazes shining with an unusual light. "Let's get one thing straight: Green Lotus's attributes match mine. You can't fight me for her. I'm the best choice to take her as a disciple."
Young Ancestral God spoke up first. The great will of the Primal Universe had issued a new instruction: a new perilous region would appear in the Ancestral God Secret Realm. It was where Green Lotus would be born. They would need to take her away as soon as she emerged, to prevent others from coveting her, and arrange for her to become an ordinary inheritor.
"That's Green Lotus we're talking about. Every living being in the Primal Universe knows how extraordinary she is. Young one, you can't handle her."
Aged Ancestral God's even voice carried an air of certainty. Green Lotus's uniqueness needed no explanation from the Primal Universe; the omens surrounding her birth were enough to confirm it. What was more, "he" had personally chosen her as a candidate God Lord. She had a very good chance of reaching True God in the future. Then, when the cycle of reincarnation ended, the Ancestral God Religion could continue. It might even become a Holy Land.
Double-Faced Ancestral God fell silent. In terms of attributes, Young Ancestral God was indeed the best match, and his personality wouldn't let him deny it. But he was still reluctant to give her up.
"The Purple Fire Ape Wine, the Wood Source Liquid, and those other things you've been eyeing—we'll exchange them all!"
