Welcome Back, Divine Lord Su!
Dead silence.
An eerily silent stillness.
Everyone was stunned, staring in disbelief at this unbelievable scene. They didn't understand what had happened, and the sudden calm only made them more uneasy.
Just then...
"Gulp."
A bubble rose from the calm surface of the lava lake.
Immediately afterwards.
"Gulp... gulp..."
More and more bubbles rose from the depths of the lake.
Under the horrified, tense, and bewildered gazes of everyone.
A figure slowly rose from the center of that bottomless lava lake.
Then, step by step, they traversed the void and walked towards the edge of the Volcanic Crater.
It was Su Zhan.
The moment they saw the figure clearly, everyone gasped, their Pearl nearly popping out of their sockets.
He was still himself, yet it seemed as if he had completely changed.
He was shirtless, revealing a perfect physique that, while not exaggerated, exuded explosive power. His bronze skin was covered with mysterious patterns of earthy yellow and platinum, as if the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth had personally imprinted divine Totem upon him.
His long black hair moved without wind, and the ends of each strand seemed to crackle with tiny sparks of electricity.
And his eyes...
No one dared to look him in the eye!
What eyes they were! Deep and majestic, as if they contained a universe of thunder. Just a gentle sweep of that gaze was enough to make one's soul tremble, leaving no room for the slightest thought of resistance.
He possessed neither an earth-shattering aura nor an overwhelmingly domineering pressure.
He simply walked out of that Molten Lava Abyss calmly, step by step, and then stood quietly on the edge of the Volcanic Crater.
But, the instant he stood there...
The entire raging, frenzied Sky Burning Volcano seemed to have transformed into a docile sheep.
The surging Magma calmed him.
The howling wind stopped for him.
All the fire and lightning elements in the world seemed to be bowing down in worship to him!
He is the king of this volcano!
He is the god of this world!
"..."
The entire Yuan Household family fell silent.
Their mouths gaped open, their minds went blank, and they completely lost the ability to think. They even forgot to breathe, forgot where they were. In their eyes, there was only that godlike figure emerging from the volcano.
Shocking?
Shock?
Unbelievable?
At this moment, all words seem so pale and powerless.
"Thump!"
A muffled thud.
Elder Yuan Ji's legs, already weak from fear, could no longer support his weight. His knees buckled, and he knelt down.
He didn't do it on purpose.
Rather, faced with that indescribable pressure originating from the Life Origin, his body instinctively adopted the most humble posture.
He raised his head and looked at Su Zhan with eyes full of awe, fervor, and even worship. His dry lips trembled for a long time before he finally managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat.
"Welcome... respectfully... to... the... return of Divine Lord Su!"
His voice was hoarse and trembling, filled with boundless excitement.
Divine Lord!
Not a young master!
At that moment, he finally understood.
Just how great a being have I, and the entire Yuan Household, followed?
This title is like a switch.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Behind Elder Yuan Ji, all the Yuan Household disciples, whether from the main branch or branch branches, knelt down in unison, like dominoes falling over!
"Welcome back, Divine Lord Su!"
"Welcome back, Divine Lord Su!"
