The Glory World, a gathering place for Special Lifeform.
A group of Special Lifeform gathered together, drinking and celebrating.
"I thought it would be troublesome for Xue You to be wanted by Universe Venerable of the Demon Race, but I didn't expect Xue You to become Universe Venerable so quickly, and with such great strength—that Demon Race inheritor must be regretting his actions immensely, wondering why he provoked Xue You!"
The towering Glacier Giant let out a hearty laugh.
" The Venerable Xue You is indeed powerful. He killed three Universe Venerable as soon as he broke through. This achievement is even more frightening than that of the Bug Chasing King." A trace of admiration and curiosity flashed in Flora's icy eyes.
The Dark Nether King laughed and said, "What's most terrifying about Xue You is his cultivation speed. He's only been with the Ancestral God Religion for a few epochs, yet he's already become Universe Venerable. Compared to Xue You, I feel like a piece of trash."
"With Xue You's exceptional talent, one would expect a great Beast God to take him as a disciple."
"I don't know. Didn't I hear before that the Beast God of Lightning wanted to take Xue You as his disciple?"
" The Beast God is so powerful that even if he had ideas, by the time he remembered them, who knows how much time would have passed."
The group chatted.
Just then...
Two figures approached together: one was the Bug Chasing King, whose body was as transparent as ice crystals, and the other was a young man wearing purple semi-transparent armor.
Upon seeing the two arrive, the Special Lifeform quickly stood up.
"Greetings to Purple Rain Venerable and Bug Chasing King!"
Everyone said in unison.
Purple Rain Venerable is one of the founders of the Ancestral God Religion's Special Lifeform team, and also the most powerful among these Special Lifeform.
Even if the Bug Chasing King broke through to the Universe Venerable, he wouldn't dare say that he could be a match for Purple Rain Venerable.
The Special Lifeform team is able to thrive in the Ancestral God Religion not only because they are reserve members of the Ancestral God Religion Sect, but also because of the protection of powerful figures like Purple Rain Venerable!
" Xue You isn't here?"
Purple Rain Venerable looked around.
"No, he hasn't been here since Xue You disappeared two eras ago," said the Nether King.
"Yes, Xue You probably has some things to attend to for now. He'll come over once he's done." Purple Rain Venerable nodded, then continued, "I just received a message from the Ancestral God Palace. The Old Ancestral God announced that he has accepted a new personal disciple, Venerable Xue You!"
"What?! Venerable Xue You has actually been accepted as a personal disciple by the Ancestral God?" Everyone was astonished.
The disciples of the Ancestral God are incredibly precious; even the Bug Chasing King and Purple Rain Venerable are not disciples of the Ancestral God.
"The news came from the Ancestral God Palace, so there's no mistake. The disciples of the Ancestral God are of noble status, comparable to Guardian God General. In the future, everyone must show respect to Venerable Xue You."
Purple Rain Venerable offered a reminder.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Although there is no hierarchical division in the Special Lifeform team, strength is still respected. Venerable Xue You is stronger than them and is also a disciple of the Ancestral God, so his status in the team naturally rises.
" Dark Nether King, you have a good relationship with Xue You. If he comes to the Glory World, please let me know."
Purple Rain Venerable looked at Dark Nether King and gave him instructions.
The Dark Nether King nodded; he dared not refuse Purple Rain Venerable's request.
Thinking back to when I first met King Xue You in the Treasure Land, I never imagined that so much time had passed and that King Xue You had grown to the point where even Purple Rain Venerable had to treat him as an equal.
Ancestral God Secret Realm, Five-Colored Abyss Splendor Land.
In this special space, five-colored light flowed. A man who was three meters tall, bald, and had blue patterns on his head looked at the message he had received and frowned slightly.
" Xue You!"
That Special Lifeform, the One-Horned Ghost King, actually became the personal disciple of the Old Ancestral God!
When the transaction was made, the Godly General Mantuo completely disregarded the other party, thinking he was just an ordinary Special Lifeform. Even if he had some talent, becoming Universe Venerable would be the limit. But unexpectedly, the other party has not only become Universe Venerable so quickly, but is also a disciple of the Old Ancestral God.
The Old Ancestral God Cang was known for his strictness in accepting disciples. His disciples were at least at the level of Universe Venerable, and the strongest of them were among the Eight Beast Gods, making them the supreme Universe Master!
The Godly General Mantuo looked at the transparent crystal sphere shrouded in multicolored light. He had traded a World Lord Level Tree of Life for this immature Heart of Space, making a huge profit.
But this deal is now causing him trouble.
If it were a fair trade, or if he had given the other party an ordinary Supreme Treasure weapon, it wouldn't have been a big deal—a World Lord Level Tree of Life, the weakest one in his Divine Kingdom, in exchange for a Heart of Space capable of refining Origin Supreme Treasure. If word of this deal got out, everyone would think he was bullying the weak!
They wouldn't consider this a fair transaction.
If the other party were just an ordinary King Rank, or even an ordinary Universe Venerable, no one would care. But now, Venerable Xue You is a disciple of the Ancestral God, whose status is comparable to his, and he also has the Ancestral God as his backer.
If the other party denies the deal and brings in the Beast God or the Ancestral God, then I—
This Xue You!!
Godly General Mantuo felt a pang of regret. He should have killed the King Xue You to silence him back then, and then he wouldn't be in so much trouble now.
Who would have thought that someone who was once as insignificant as an ant would now be causing him so much trouble!
Once the opportunity is missed, it's gone forever. After all, no one could have imagined that Wuming nobody would have such a chance.
Now that the other party is a disciple of the Ancestral God, even if Godly General Mantuo is unwilling, he dares not make any move.
He knew better than anyone what fate awaited traitors of the Ancestral God Religion.
" This Origin Supreme Treasure is too important to me. Although the original deal was unequal, he still agreed. At worst, I can compensate him with some treasures. This Heart of Space absolutely cannot be given away."
The Godly General Mantuo made a decision in his heart: even if the Beast God personally sought his mediation, he would stick to this bottom line.
At that moment, a subtle fluctuation emanated from within the spatial wormhole.
The Godly General Mantuo suddenly stood up, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
Over the years, the Heart of Space has gradually matured, and the strange phenomena it emits can no longer be completely concealed even by him. Previously, a successor had sneaked in, but he had silently wiped him out.
This time was no exception.
Before the opponent could fully pass through the wormhole, the Godly General Mantuo already struck out with a palm. Although this strike was not at full strength, it was enough to severely injure an ordinary Universe Venerable, causing most of his divine body to collapse.
The violent energy blasted into the wormhole.
But it vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
The next moment, a figure stepped out calmly, his body covered in dark gold armor, which had not even left a mark on him from the previous attack.
" Venerable Xue You!"
The Godly General Mantuo's pupils contracted slightly.
He never expected that the person who came was the one he least wanted to see, and he was even more surprised that the other party could so easily withstand his attack.
" Godly General Mantuo, that's not a very friendly way to greet me," the Xue You Clone said coldly, dusting off his armor.
" Venerable Xue You, I didn't know it was you! My apologies. Congratulations on breaking through to the Universe Venerable and becoming a disciple of the Ancestral God."
The Godly General Mantuo managed a weak smile.
His gaze fell upon the armor on Venerable Xue You's body, and he knew it was Supreme Treasure Armor. As a disciple of the Ancestral God, it was not surprising that he possessed multiple Supreme Treasure.
" Venerable Xue You —what brings you here today? Do you perhaps feel the original deal wasn't worthwhile and have gone back on your word?"
The Godly General Mantuo asked first.
He certainly wouldn't give up this deal, but Godly General Mantuo making some compensation to the other party.
"Going back on my word? Not at all—" Lu Qingshan looked in the direction of the multicolored Flowing Light and smiled slightly, "Although I suffered some losses in the original deal, I, Xue You, am not one to break my promises. Since the deal has been made, there is naturally no reason for me to go back on my word."
"So you've come today?"
The Godly General Mantuo already made plans to make amends, but he didn't expect the Venerable Xue You to say this.
Lu Qingshan walked to the side of the Five-Colored Abyss Splendor Land and looked at the pool below the Heart of Space.
A slight smile appeared on his face.
" Godly General Mantuo, was it alright that I traded an immature Heart of Space with you back then?"
"Is that so?" The Godly General Mantuo's expression was uncertain, unsure of what the other party intended to do.
"That's good!"
Hearing Godly General Mantuo's reply, Lu Qingshan no longer hesitated. He reached out and took out a large piece of Space Crystal from the pool below the Heart of Space, storing it in his World Ring. Then he said, "Since the transaction involved the Heart of Space, this Space Crystal should still belong to me. I should be able to take back what is rightfully mine, right?"
"No problem!" The Godly General Mantuo's face darkened slightly. The Space Crystal was a companion treasure of the Heart of Space; although its value couldn't compare to the Heart of Space itself, it was still quite valuable.
Furthermore, removing the Space Crystal before the Heart of Space matures will have a slight impact on the quality of the Heart of Space.
However, the words spoken by Venerable Xue You earlier prevented him from standing up to object.
Moreover, this Venerable Xue You was clearly fearless, taking the Space Crystal directly without even considering discussing it with him.
Damn it!!
" Godly General Mantuo, although this five-colored pool is a good thing, it is related to the nurturing of the Heart of Space, so I will not take it. Before you make a move in the future, please look carefully to avoid accidentally harming it."
After saying that, Lu Qingshan chuckled, passed through the wormhole, and left the space that had given birth to the Heart of Space.
"Damn it, I should have—"
After Lu Qingshan left, Godly General Mantuo slowly walked to the edge of the pool, looking at the obvious gap in the water, his eyes blazing with anger.
That Venerable Xue You, relying on being a disciple of the Ancestral God, completely disregarded him!
However, now that they've taken the Space Crystal, they probably won't have any further designs on the Heart of Space.
This is barely considered good news.
The Godly General Mantuo carefully examined the development of the Heart of Space and found that removing the Space Crystal had a negligible impact on Heart of Space development, which put his mind at ease.
As long as it doesn't affect the formation of the Heart of Space, taking away the Space Crystal is no big deal.
He will continue to stay here, hoping that no one will disturb him again.
