Ancestral God Religion, Purple Rain Continent.
The White Needle, High-grade Palace Supreme Treasure, transformed into a magnificent palace, standing in the very heart of the continent, replacing the previous palace.
Inside the palace.
After reading the message he had just received, Purple Rain Venerable showed an expression of disbelief.
" The Venerable Xue You —he's incredibly powerful—"
Purple Rain Venerable knew perfectly well what kind of being the Lord of Sky Wolf was. When he learned that Venerable Tianhua was in the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region, he dared not make a move rashly—because he was worried that the Lord of Sky Wolf might suddenly appear.
That was an incredibly Elder Gu being of the Demon Race, whose strength was not weak even among the Universe Master. Even with his enormous divine body and thousands of times the Gene Multiplier, he might not even have a chance to escape if he encountered the Lord of Sky Wolf.
But unexpectedly...
Venerable Xue You —his good brother who killed Venerable Tianhua together last time, actually forced the Lord of Sky Wolf to hide in the Sky Wolf Palace and escape in a sorry state.
That pursuit, spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers, was witnessed firsthand by some Universe Venerable who had roamed the Myriad Spirit Mountain Range.
The Lord of Sky Wolf hid in the Sky Wolf Palace, constantly being whipped, and dared not retaliate at all.
It's easy to imagine that he must have been severely abused before.
Opposite Purple Rain Venerable, Bug Chasing King was also filled with shock.
When Venerable Xue You joined their Special Lifeform faction, his strength was even inferior to his.
It's only been a few tens of thousands of years, yet the Venerable Xue You has grown to such a terrifying level.
That was the Universe Master, a powerful being comparable to the Guardian Beast God their Ancestral God Religion, yet even he was no match for Venerable Xue You.
As for him, his strength has hardly improved at all over the years, and breaking through to the Universe Venerable is still a long way off.
As one of the most powerful inheritors of the Ancestral God Religion Sect's King Rank of King, the Bug Chasing King naturally possessed his own arrogance. However, in front of Venerable Xue You, his arrogance appeared utterly laughable.
Compared to the Venerable Xue You, what's the difference between the rest of their Special Lifeform team, including the Bug Chasing King and the idiots?
However, considering that Venerable Xue You was also a member of their Special Lifeform team, Bug Chasing King laughed heartily.
"Inviting Venerable Xue You to join our team was the best decision we ever made. Now our Special Lifeform team has a true pillar of strength."
Among the Special Lifeform team, the strongest was originally Purple Rain Venerable, but Purple Rain Venerable was only a Top Universe Overlord, comparable to Divine General —not comparable to Universe Master. However, Venerable Xue You defeated a veteran Universe Master -on.
After this battle, in the hearts of many high-ranking members of the Ancestral God Religion, the Venerable Xue You's status is probably no less than that of an ordinary Guardian Beast God.
Purple Rain Venerable smiled slightly, "With Venerable Xue You's strength and reputation, it's time for me to relinquish my position as the leader of the Ancestral God Religion's Special Lifeform team."
" Venerable Xue You is the strongest in our team, and he's also a direct disciple of the Ancestral God. If he's willing to accept the leadership position, I don't think anyone else will have any objections." Suddenly, as if remembering something, the Bug Chasing King revealed a smile, "I heard that the Mirror King has been resurrected by the Universe Master of the Northern Territory Alliance. I wonder what kind of expression he'll have when he hears this news?"
"It seems the Northern Territory Alliance takes that Mirror King quite seriously!"
Mentioning Mirror King, Purple Rain Venerable recalled the scene not long ago in the Five Elements Space-Time where Venerable Xue You casually killed Mirror King.
"It's quite lucky that Mirror King was able to die at the hands of Venerable Xue You. He died once, lost the Inheritance Token, and couldn't enter the Ancestral God Secret Realm. Perhaps that's actually a good thing for him."
Bug Chasing King laughed, "Besides Mirror King, no one else dares to threaten the Venerable Xue You's successor. I feel that if he knew the Venerable Xue You's strength, he would probably only dare to hide in the Northern Territory Alliance's headquarters and wouldn't dare to go anywhere else. His treasure-hunting talent would be truly wasted if he didn't dare to go out."
"Haha, he deserves it. A unique and Special Lifeform, and a successor of the Ancestral God Religion, instead of joining our core Ancestral God Religion, he went to be a dog for the Northern Territory Alliance. He deserves what he has today!"
In the Northern Territory Alliance, within a lavish manor.
Bang!!
The desktop, crafted from precious minerals, shattered with a crash.
Flames flickered in Mirror King's blood-red eyes.
"Why!"
"It's just a Beast God Inheritance Token, why couldn't it even pass the review? My Path of the Beast God is stuck at the Third Layer limit. If I go through the inheritance again, I might be able to successfully break through to the Universe Venerable realm."
Previously in the Five Elements Space-Time, he had already shown endless forbearance, not only handing over the Five Elements Fruit King, which he had painstakingly searched for, to Venerable Xue You, but also agreeing to help him find treasures. Unexpectedly, he was still killed directly.
This enraged him to the extreme.
He wanted revenge.
Once he breaks through to the level of Universe Venerable, his strength will be comparable to that of Universe Overlord, and his Innate Secret Technique will be greatly enhanced—at that time, perhaps there will still be hope for revenge.
Unexpectedly, his application disappeared without a trace, and when he inquired further, he was told that his application had not been approved. The High Universe Venerable in charge of the first review even looked at him with disdain and called him a waste of resources.
Right now.
A figure walked in.
Mirror King suppressed the flames of anger in his heart and wanted to step forward to argue, but he was met with Venerable Pei Feng's cold gaze.
This made Mirror King swallow back the words he was about to say.
Venerable Pei Feng was no match for the High Venerable who had just humiliated him. He was Reserve Divine General of the Ancestral God Religion Sect, a powerful being at the level of Universe Overlord, even stronger than Venerable Xue You. He dared not offend him.
" Mirror King, you seem very angry. Are you dissatisfied with the Alliance? Do you still want to seek revenge against Venerable Xue You?"
Venerable Pei Feng glanced at the shattered table, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"I wouldn't dare!"
Mirror King shook his head.
" The Northern Territory Alliance previously bestowed upon me Supreme Treasure, and now they've resurrected me for free. I'm already extremely grateful; how could I possibly harbor any resentment?"
"As for revenge, I am aware of my own limitations and know my own strength. Before breaking through to the Universe Venerable, I will absolutely not think about revenge."
"Heh, no, you haven't even realized your own limitations!"
Venerable Pei Feng sneered.
"You don't actually think that Venerable Xue You is just an ordinary Universe Overlord, and that once you break through to become Universe Venerable, you'll have a chance for revenge? Don't dream!"
"Do you know—after your death, I gambled with the Venerable Xue You for your Supreme Treasure Armor, only to be easily defeated by him?"
Upon hearing this, an expression of disbelief flashed in Mirror King's eyes.
Venerable Pei Feng is Reserve Divine General, an extremely powerful being even among the Universe Overlord. How could he possibly be easily defeated by Venerable Xue You?
He had only recently been resurrected and, without the Inheritance Token, was unable to enter the Ancestral God Secret Realm or obtain information in the Glory World. He had contacted several friends from the Ancestral God Religion before, but had not received any reply.
As for the Northern Territory Alliance, his situation wasn't much better; because of the previous generous treatment, he was very unpopular.
Those Universe Venerable were all jealous that he had been bestowed with the Supreme Treasure Armor, and now that he had been killed and the Supreme Treasure lost—those very people were actually gloating.
In this situation, Mirror King naturally had no sources of information.
"You think that's all?"
Venerable Pei Feng's expression was utterly cold, his tone carrying a chill. He continued, "Just now, the Alliance's intelligence agency sent word that Venerable Xue You was engaged in battle with the Demon Lord of Sky Wolf the Demon Race Wolf Clan in the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region. The Lord of Sky Wolf was no match for him and fled in a sorry state, hiding in the Palace Supreme Treasure."
"Don't doubt the truth of this matter—the news has spread far and wide, and all the major powers are certainly aware of it. None of your friends in the Ancestral God Religion have replied to your message, right? Heh—they know the Venerable Xue You's strength and don't want anything to do with you. Now, only the Northern Territory Alliance can protect you, only my teacher, the great Master of Qilan, can protect you—"
"Give up the idea of revenge. You'll never be a match for Venerable Xue You. Even if you become Universe Venerable, he could crush you with a single finger! From now on, behave yourself and work for my teacher—that's your only way to survive. Do you understand?"
" Venerable Pei Feng —I—understand—"
Mirror King's voice trembled slightly. After hearing what Venerable Pei Feng had said, his face no longer showed any anger, only boundless fear.
That Venerable Xue You was so powerful that even the great Universe Master was no match for him.
No wonder—no wonder those guys, Venerable Ziya, didn't reply to his messages; no wonder the Universe Venerable on the Northern Territory Alliance's side treated him even worse.
If it weren't for Venerable Pei Feng's reminder, he would still be in the dark.
--
Having offended the Venerable Xue You, his future is destined to be bleak. Now, only by following the Master of Qilan can he have a sliver of hope to survive.
Mirror King was filled with immense regret.
Why was I so foolish? Why did I threaten that Venerable Xue You? I needlessly provoked such a terrifying enemy.
After Venerable Pei Feng finished speaking, he turned and left. Mirror King slumped on his throne, feeling as if he had lost all his strength.
The Ancestral God Religion, within the Ancestral God Palace.
After leaving the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region, Lu Qingshan directly returned to the Xue You Continent via the Divine Kingdom Teleportation, and then arrived at the Ancestral God Palace.
He needs to consult his teacher on how to handle that Wonder.
The ancient Old Ancestral God, dressed in a gray robe and with a face as pale as decaying wood, looked at his disciple with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
--
" Xue You —you're quite good—although you relied on the power of a Wonder, you were able to defeat even the Lord of Sky Wolf. Your own strength is already no weaker than that of the Guardian Lord."
"Master, I owe my success to your teachings. I have completed my mission, but I don't know what to do with that Wonder?"
Lu Qingshan said modestly.
The Old Ancestral God smiled slightly and said, "Where did you put that Wonder?"
" The Ancestral God Secret Realm is the place closest to the Universe Origin in the Primal Universe. I was worried that bringing the Wonder here would have a certain impact on the Universe Origin, so I placed it in my Divine Kingdom."
Lu Qingshan answered honestly.
"Your concerns are not unfounded. The closer the Wonder is to the Universe Origin, the greater the harm it poses to the Primal Universe. Of course, the Primal Universe is such an existence—this threat is merely a minor ailment, harmless and insignificant—"
The Old Ancestral God spoke calmly as he continued.
"Since you've acquired the Wonder, consider it your spoils. I'm just giving you suggestions on how to handle it; the specifics are up to you."
"First, the Wonder must be taken out of the Primal Universe for the mission to be considered complete."
"With your current strength, although it's a stretch, you can still survive in the Universe Ocean. You can personally carry the Wonder and hide it somewhere in the Universe Ocean. If you plan to venture into the Universe Ocean in the future, you can use it there. Of course, the Universe Ocean is different from the Primal Universe. No powerful beings there will give our Ancestral God Religion Sect any face. If you use the Wonder there, you must have the strength to match it, otherwise it's like a child holding gold."
"Perhaps you could also sell the Wonder. Some of the top races, Northern Territory Alliance, should be able to afford it—their Universe Master can also use the Wonder in the Universe Ocean, but you must not sell it to those lone powerhouses, especially the Universe Supreme Master."
"I've already sent you the information about the Universe Ocean through the Glory World. You can study it carefully—with your strength, you are indeed qualified to access this information."
" Xue You, you've only been with the Ancestral God Religion for tens of thousands of years, yet your strength rivals that of a Primal Universe Master. Your talent is unparalleled in my life—even the one from the Human Race back then—your rate of progress is inferior to yours. Perhaps you are the only one in my Ancestral God Religion with the potential to become the Universe Supreme Master— "
