Zhang Junbao looked at the palace before him, which emitted a faint light and resembled the head of a monster, and was quite surprised.
"This is the Ancestral God Hall? Even a mere branch temple possesses such terrifying power."
The Ancestral God Hall before us is likely a replica of the Ancestral God's head. The entire head is covered with fine scales, which faintly exude a special aura that is captivating. On the face of the Ancestral God's head, the elongated, pointed mouth is full of terrifying fangs, and every muscle in the face is full of explosive power.
Its face, covered in scales, has a pair of eyes that radiate a mesmerizing, iridescent glow, full of spirituality. Unlike the stiffness of ordinary statues, these eyes are so captivating that one cannot look directly at them, as if a rosy light emanates from them.
What's most peculiar is that a huge unicorn horn on its head pierces the sky, as if the whole world is shrouded in its majesty.
Upon seeing the Ancestral God Hall, Zhang Junbao was immediately drawn to the single horn on the Ancestral God's head, and he vaguely sensed a familiar power.
The horn of the Ancestral God was permeated with the aura of the convergence of Ten Great Laws, including not only the Eight Great Fundamental Laws, but also the laws of Time Law and Space Law.
"Lord Feng must also be awestruck by the greatness of the Ancestral God. No matter how many times you see it, the majestic figure of the Ancestral God is captivating. It not only nurtured all the races of the entire Viska Star, but also allowed us to inherit some of the Ancestral God's abilities, enabling us to awaken a runic power from birth," Qing Yan said with emotion. He was equally captivated by the appearance of the Ancestral God, looking at the Ancestral God Hall as if he were seeing a beauty he had been infatuated with for many years.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, time, space... Zhang Junbao sensed them all, and all the Law converged on the Ancestral God's horn.
"The fusion of the Ten Great Laws... The Ancestral God of Viska Star also followed the path of fusing the Ten Great Laws! That's right, the Ancestral God is the representative of the Universe Origin Will and is closely connected with the Universe Origin. If there is a gift from the Universe Origin, it is only natural that he can fuse all the Law!" Zhang Junbao was extremely shocked. He never expected that coming to the Ancestral God Hall would bring him such an unexpected gain.
The Viska Star People are born with the power of a Law rune, which helps them quickly step into the threshold of the Law.
As their ancestor, it is entirely reasonable for the Ancestral God to possess the power to control all Ten Great Laws. Only in this way can we explain why the Viska Star People have always believed themselves to be descendants of the Ancestral God.
"Are the remains of the Ancestral God still in Viska, or have they been acquired by the Virtual Universe Company?"
" Feitian, help me find information about the Ancestral God in the Virtual Universe Company!" Zhang Junbao suppressed his excitement and called on Feitian to quickly search for information.
"Master, no, there is no information about the Ancestral God Viska Star in the Virtual Universe Company!" Feitian replied a few seconds later.
"No?"
Zhang Junbao was stunned. How could there not be? It was already certain that Viska Star and the Ancestral God had an extremely close relationship. The Virtual Universe Company couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
"Does my current authority preclude me from knowing about this matter?"
Subsequently, Zhang Junbao realized the problem: it was likely not that the Virtual Universe Company lacked relevant information, but rather that his permissions were insufficient to access information at this level.
"Just the Ancestral God statue simulated in a branch hall has already deeply moved me. If I could obtain the Ancestral God's horn, I would definitely be able to comprehend the secrets of the fusion of the Ten Great Laws!"
This should be similar to the Beast God Statue, simulating the Law Secret Patterns that resonated with the Ancestral God!
Zhang Junbao's eyes shone brightly. Even after learning that the Bi Xue Jade could enhance the speed of Law Comprehension, his mood could not compare to this moment.
"It seems we need to explore the mysteries of the Ancestral God of Viska Star more thoroughly."
"Senior Feng, are you alright?"
Seeing Zhang Junbao staring motionless at the Ancestral God's single horn for a long time, Qing Yan asked softly.
Zhang Junbao snapped out of his reverie, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "It's alright, let's go in. I'm really looking forward to the mission from the Ancestral God Hall."
Inside the gates of the Ancestral God Hall, all sorts of people came and went, but they all had one thing in common: they were all exceptionally respectful towards the Ancestral God Hall.
In the eyes of the Viska Star People, the Ancestral God Hall is the place that protects the will of the Ancestral God. As descendants of the Ancestral God, they will not allow anyone to tarnish the dignity of the Ancestral God.
Upon entering, one finds a large hall with an antique charm. On one side of the hall stands a counter several tens of meters long, behind which ten staff members of the Ancestral God Hall stand to handle various matters for those who come to the Ancestral God Hall.
"Hello, I am Qing Yan, a third-grade weapon refiner. I am here with Lord Feng to apply for the awakening of the Wisdom Divine Rune." Qing Yan stepped forward, identified himself, and took out a badge.
" The Ancestral God is with us! Respected Rank 3 Refiner, awakening the Wisdom Divine Rune is the best way to let the Ancestral God feel our piety and respect."
However, expressing reverence for the Ancestral God is not something everyone can do. Therefore, guided by the Ancestral God's will, we have set up a trial to ensure that everyone who undergoes the awakening ceremony maintains the most sincere reverence for the Ancestral God.
The staff were quite surprised by Qing Yan's identity as a third-grade weapon refiner, and Zhang Junbao, who was able to become an adult from a third-grade weapon refiner, was even more mysterious in their eyes.
However, the staff were very dedicated and quickly adjusted their mindset.
"Yes, we are willing to dedicate our strength to the Ancestral God with utmost reverence. Please tell us what tasks we need to undertake?"
"Please follow me, both of you!"
Zhang Junbao didn't speak. He couldn't worship the Ancestral God like the Viska Star People, who regarded it as a god in their hearts. So he simply let Qing Yan handle it.
Fortunately, his status as a third-grade weapon refiner still earned him considerable respect within the Ancestral God Hall. In any place, strength represents dignity; this is a universal Law.
The staff led the two to another hall, where an elderly man was looking through documents, his face showing a hint of anxiety.
"My lord, these two have come to apply for the awakening of the Wisdom Divine Rune."
Zhang Junbao noticed that the divine messenger was wearing a tall hat similar to the Ancestral God's single horn, and upon seeing their arrival, a smile appeared on his previously anxious face.
"I am Aoka, the divine messenger of this Ancestral God Hall."
" The Ancestral God is our ancestor, and to gain the Ancestral God's approval is the highest honor. The Ancestral God Hall protects the Ancestral God's will, but there are still some stubborn and wicked people on Viska Star who disregard the Ancestral God's will."
Therefore, the Ancestral God set a test: only by making these lost souls understand the Ancestral God's will can our Viska Star endure forever.
Aoka preached the will of the Ancestral God, which Zhang Junbao perceived as pure brainwashing. Countless planets in the universe have religions, and some powerful beings are seen by ordinary people as no different from gods. Over time, various religions have emerged.
"To awaken the Wisdom Divine Rune, one must first be assessed on the degree of favor bestowed by the Ancestral God. If one is rejected by the Ancestral God, even the Ancestral God Hall cannot defy the will of the Ancestral God."
"Test the degree of favor? How do we test that?" Qing Yan asked.
"It's alright, you just need to stand on this Divine Favor Platform." Aoka pointed to a platform about half a meter high next to him, which was shimmering with countless secret runes.
"Senior Feng, shall I give it a try first?" Qing Yan asked.
"Okay." Zhang Junbao nodded.
He was also carefully observing the operation of the Ancestral God Hall. This Divine Favor Platform should be some kind of secret rune array capable of checking talent strength.
After Qing Yan stepped onto the platform, an orange-red light rose from the Divine Favor Platform, enveloping him. The orange-red light grew brighter and brighter, eventually emitting a dazzling brilliance.
"This is... a naturally born seventh-grade fire rune! Very good, very good! With the blessing of the Ancestral God, you are qualified to serve the Ancestral God!" Seeing Qing Yan's test results, Aoka was clearly surprised, and his old face seemed to bloom like a chrysanthemum.
Qing Yan already knew about this result. However, being praised so highly by the envoy of the Ancestral God Hall, he also wore a proud smile.
"Senior Feng, why don't you give it a try?"
Seeing this, Zhang Junbao slowly walked up. His Innate Rune were forged by Virtual Universe Company, but given Virtual Universe Company's technology, they should have already considered the issue of verification.
Sure enough, after Zhang Junbao stood on it, the entire Divine Favor Platform lit up, and the intense light completely illuminated the entire hall.
"A naturally born ninth-grade time rune! A time rune that's rare even among billions of people, you..."
The divine messenger Aoka was shocked by the dazzling light emanating from the Divine Favor Platform. If the light emitted by ordinary people on the Divine Favor Platform was starlight, then Qing Yan's light could barely be considered moonlight, but Zhang Junbao's light was pure sunlight, making it impossible to look directly at him.
" The Ancestral God has shown you favor; could you be an envoy sent by the Ancestral God?"
"I am not Ancestral God's messenger, but just an ordinary person. Can I awaken the Wisdom Divine Talisman in this way?" Zhang Junbao asked.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Zhang Junbao stepped down from the Divine Favor Platform, and the Ancestral God Hall's divine messenger, Aoka, finally calmed down.
"Awakening the Wisdom Divine Talisman requires passing two tests. You have already passed the first test. As long as you complete the next test, you will receive the favor of the Ancestral God and awaken the Wisdom Divine Talisman."
"With our talents, shouldn't we receive some special treatment?" Qing Yan asked.
"Young people, the will of the Ancestral God is inviolable. You are exceptionally talented, and you should follow the will of the Ancestral God even more!"
Aoka's eyes were filled with respect.
However, Zhang Junbao saw an unusual longing in his eyes, which made him wary.
"A group of blasphemers has appeared on Divine Bone Mountain, attempting to seize the Ancestral God's relic, the ' Bi Xue Jade.' Your assessment task is to kill three blasphemers of equal strength. As for retrieving the ' Bi Xue Jade,' that will naturally be handled by the powerful figures of the Ancestral God Hall. Your task is to assist them!" Aoka said slowly.
"Killed three opponents of the same level? How can you prove that?"
"The area beneath Divine Bone Mountain has long been under the surveillance of the powerful figures of my Ancestral God Hall. As long as you complete the mission, they will naturally find out. Once the mission is completed, you can return to the Ancestral God Hall to perform the Divine Rune Awakening Ceremony."
Next, the powerful figures from the Ancestral God Hall have already set up a rune teleportation array, which will directly transport you to the vicinity of Divine Bone Mountain.
Aoka explained.
" Kosta, take these two to meet up with the other test takers, and together we'll head to Divine Bone Mountain."
"Yes, Your Excellency!" the staff member who led Zhang Junbao and the other person over said respectfully.
Zhang Junbao had a vague feeling that something was amiss, but he couldn't pinpoint the problem. In any case, he had to make the trip to Divine Bone Mountain, so Zhang Junbao followed Kosta to meet up with the other test takers.
When they left, only the divine messenger Aoka remained in the empty hall.
"Great Ancestral God, two more exceptional innate Innate Divine Talisman will return to your embrace, and you will soon be able to awaken!"
"Your servant begs you to lead us out of here and to stand at the pinnacle of the universe!" Aoka prayed fervently, all alone.
