Golden light enveloped Hu Yanbo as he reappeared in his palace on Purple Thorn Island. With a turn of his hand, the dark golden Ancestral God Token appeared in his palm.
He immediately used the token to contact the Two-Faced Ancestral God.
"Hu Yanbo pays his respects, Ancestral God. About the Supreme Treasure Armor you promised me earlier!" he transmitted respectfully.
Yet after the message went out, the other end remained completely silent.
Hu Yanbo frowned slightly and tried again, but his second message likewise vanished without a trace.
"Hm? What's going on? Is the Ancestral God dealing with something important?" He felt puzzled. Given the Ancestral God's abilities, he should have been able to respond instantly.
Just as he prepared to send a third message, a somewhat deep voice finally rang out. "Hu Yanbo, this is Nine Nether."
The Lord of the Nine Nether?
Hu Yanbo paused, then hurriedly replied with respect, "Lord of the Nine Nether."
"The Ancestral God gained some insights and just entered seclusion. If you need anything, you can tell me," the Lord of the Nine Nether said evenly.
Seclusion?
Hu Yanbo immediately felt a little deflated. I was barely gone, and the Ancestral God already entered seclusion?
All three of them?
Hu Yanbo could not help grumbling inwardly. Something felt off, but he did not press the matter. He quickly said, "Lord of the Nine Nether, the Ancestral God previously promised to grant me a suit of Supreme Treasure Armor upon my promotion to Guardian Lord-"
"Yes, the Ancestral God already informed me," the Lord of the Nine Nether interrupted. "I'll send someone to deliver the armor to you shortly."
"Thank you, Lord of the Nine Nether!" Hu Yanbo hurriedly expressed his gratitude, abandoning his little plan to ask for a Domain Supreme Treasure.
