Young Ancestral God

The Ancestral God Secret Realm lay deep within the universe, as vast as a universe country. It was relatively the closest place to the universe's origin and also where special lifeforms were most concentrated. That day, a handsome youth in crimson armor arrived in the void. Smiling, he looked around. "It should be here. What kind of lifeform will it be?"

Before he could finish anticipating it, the youth suddenly looked overhead. The secret realm's spacetime was torn open by a pair of giant hands, making his brows twist into knots. "Giant Axe, the Ancestral God Secret Realm is not a place for you to run wild!"

"Young Ancestral God, you should be able to see my goodwill. If I truly intended to run wild, I would have used an axe!"

The youth in red armor paused and looked around. The surrounding spacetime fluctuations were indeed very slight. "Giant Axe, whatever your purpose is, please leave now. Otherwise, I will consider this a provocation against the Primal Universe. Even if Original Ancestor can emerge, the Ancestral God Religion will absolutely not let you off lightly."

"Young Ancestral God, if Original Ancestor can be released, doesn't that prove the Human Race is connected to this matter? Otherwise, I would not have appeared at this time."

Giant Axe stepped into the secret realm and stood at a distance, not approaching Young Ancestral God too closely.

"How could that be? Such a huge—such a special lifeform, this is the decree of the Primal Universe Will. Don't bring disaster upon yourself and implicate your race."

Young Ancestral God's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again. As he stared at the smiling Giant Axe, just as Giant Axe was about to speak, both of them suddenly looked toward a place several light-years away.

A ripple appeared in the spacetime there. A Maelstrom visibly formed and continued expanding. Unlike the emergence of a secret realm, this was directly spitting an entire continent into the secret realm. Its momentum was far more magnificent.

"We do not have much time. Once you meet the main party, you will understand. I am merely transporting a few things."

Giant Axe had long expected this situation. Their battle would only draw more attention, while his goal was simple: escort Chen Qing into the Ancestral God Palace. This was the arrangement of the Primal Universe Will. The Ancestral Gods would not change it, nor did they have the ability to change it. The races truly had little room to interfere.

However, considering Chen Qing's own strength and the fact that he had nothing related to the Lotus, there was no need to be overly deliberate.

As the two faced off, the Maelstrom had only just expanded somewhat when a White Jade Palace flew out from within. Young Ancestral God hurriedly stepped forward and steadily caught the palace. Only then did he let out a breath of relief. He gave Giant Axe a puzzled glance, then lowered his head to look at what he held. The moment he saw it, Young Ancestral God's hand visibly trembled, nearly flipping the palace upside down. The surging aura made Chen Qing retreat back into the palace. Giant Axe hurriedly stepped forward to divert the Ancestral God's attention and began disrupting the surrounding spacetime. "Return to the Ancestral God Palace first. Your God Lord will arrive here soon. Chen Qing cannot be linked to this phenomenon."

Young Ancestral God opened his mouth, closed it, then opened it again. In the end, aside from a cold snort, he could not say anything. He turned and left directly.

Within the Virtual Universe, Giant Axe slapped the table and laughed heartily at Chaos City Lord. "You did not see Young Ancestral God's expression. He will definitely be shocked for several eras. He is probably still wondering about it inside."

Only the three of them remained in the hall now. Chen Qing shook his head helplessly. He had not even surrendered the palace. "Chen Qing, rest assured. The Ancestral God Palace is connected to the Origin Land. Since you have entered it, there will be no problem."

Seeing Chen Qing shake his head, Chaos City Lord thought he was still worried and offered a word of comfort. "Your new identity information has been sent to you. Take a look yourself. It was basically designed according to your requirements, with nothing omitted."

"Alright. Sorry for the trouble, City Lord."

"Giant Axe, you are the first supreme being to voluntarily step into the Ancestral God Palace!"

Several of them gathered in Young Ancestral God's palace. Double-Faced Ancestral God looked at Giant Axe in surprise and could not help sighing. Giant Axe flashed two rows of white teeth. This place was close to the Origin Land, much like a supreme being's Mini-Universe. Who would come here unless he was sick? Chen Qing was the exception. Otherwise, the race would at most have sent Chaos City Lord forward.

However, Double-Faced Ancestral God had no time to concern himself with Giant Axe. Instead, he looked toward the emerging Chen Qing and paused, just like Aged Ancestral God had. After reacting, the two Ancestral Gods glanced at Young Ancestral God. The three of them tacitly closed their eyes and began communicating with the Primal Universe's origin.

Taking the opportunity, Chen Qing put away Jade Smoke Pavilion, bowed to Giant Axe, and quietly stood to the side, waiting for the Three Ancestral Gods to awaken. Giant Axe examined Chen Qing with great interest, then smiled and nodded after a moment. Chen Qing inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed his idea had not been wrong.

The Three Ancestral Gods soon opened their eyes. The other two gave Young Ancestral God pitying looks. Young Ancestral God had originally brought out some rare treasures to take on a disciple. Now, he was likely feeling miserable. "We already understand the situation. The great Primal Universe Will has made arrangements. Leave the rest to Young Ancestral God."

Double-Faced Ancestral God greeted Giant Axe before vanishing. Giant Axe's mouth twitched. Why did they seem even more anxious than him?

"Chen Qing, these are the materials you need."

Chen Qing accepted the ring Giant Axe handed him, then carefully passed over a World Ring. Giant Axe said nothing. He patted Chen Qing's shoulder, nodded to Young Ancestral God, gave him an unregistered helmet, and vanished as well.

"Chen Qing, right?"

Young Ancestral God had inspected him repeatedly for quite some time. He was indeed a human World Lord. Aside from a palace-type supreme treasure, he had nothing particularly eye-catching on him. So how had he become something with such perfect genes? Such a beautiful flower had simply disappeared?

"Ancestral God!"

Following Human Race customs, Chen Qing bowed, then raised his head to await Young Ancestral God's arrangements. "First is the Beast God Inheritance Token. Which type do you wish to choose? Come to think of it, you are the first to receive an inheritance token directly bestowed—hm, sent—by the Ancestral God Palace."

Unlike the kindly Aged Ancestral God, Young Ancestral God had none of Double-Faced Ancestral God's majesty. Instead, he was somewhat lively. "Water and space."

"Alright, this is the inheritance token. After refining it, go to Bauhinia Island later. Someone will arrange everything."

Young Ancestral God tossed the token to Chen Qing, then gave him another deep look. "This is the token of a Religion Protector God Lord. It can send messages and check missions. If anything happens, you can contact me directly. This was given to you by the Primal Universe Will. It has one more use as well: it can communicate with the origin!"

After speaking, Young Ancestral God shut his mouth again, his eyes filled with conflict. He looked at Chen Qing once more. "If anything happens, contact me first. Try not to disturb him. Since Giant Axe gave you means to preserve your life and arranged an identity for you, I will not prepare anything further. Given your identity, it is more convenient for Giant Axe to act."

Chen Qing touched the unusual jade token and sensed a trace of familiar aura within it. As expected of someone with God King potential, he had learned to exploit loopholes so quickly. Without revealing anything, Chen Qing put away the jade token and looked again at Young Ancestral God. Young Ancestral God waved his hand lifelessly and sat blankly upon his divine throne. Only after a long while did he say, "Go on, go on. Cultivate well!"
