Decades ago, after Lu Qingshan brought Luo into the Ancestral God Religion, he went to the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region to complete the mission assigned by the Ancestral God Religion Cult.
Now that he had dealt with the Wonder, he had some free time and planned to meet with his disciples.
A corner of the square.
As soon as Luo Gang emerged from the Inheritance Land, he was blocked by a four-legged creature with white fur.
The four-legged creature's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a single horn on its head emitted a faint white glow.
"The successor of the Hongmeng Alliance!"
A deep, muffled sound came from the mouth of this four-legged inheritor.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Time King, from the Thorn Ring Alliance — Third Layer ultimate inheritor, Invincible King."
Upon hearing the way the other person addressed him, Luo's expression changed slightly.
Soon, he guessed why the other party had come to find him.
It's probably because of the title.
When setting his name in the Glory World, Luo continued the tradition and named himself Time King.
There are hundreds of millions of Beast God Inheritor the Ancestral God Religion's Beast God lineage, and duplicate titles are common. Therefore, a title alone is insufficient to determine a person's identity; their affiliation and strength must also be considered for a comprehensive assessment.
"My name is Luo—I just Ancestral God Religion."
Luo replied.
"For a Initial King to obtain the Beast God Inheritance Token shows you're quite lucky. I'm not interested in your name, but you need to change your title to Time King. With your strength, you're not worthy of that title, are you aware of that?!"
Upon hearing the other person's words, Luo frowned slightly.
In the Ancestral God Religion Sect, duplicate titles are commonplace, but unexpectedly, this Invincible King from the Thorn Ring Alliance was so domineering that he directly forced him to change his title.
The four-legged strongman snorted coldly.
"You're still not convinced? Looks like you're just a kid who hasn't been through a real beating—this universe has always been about strength. Although I can't attack you on Bauhinia Island, you can't hide here forever—changing your title and avoiding a huge mess is a great deal for you."
That sounds reasonable, I'll consider it.
Luo nodded, not wanting to argue with him.
Looking back, he realized that the title "Time" was indeed problematic. Before, when he was at the World Lord Level or Marquis Level, he was too weak and lived within the Human Territory, so no one paid attention to him. But now that he had become King-level Immortal God and had come to the Ancestral God Religion, where all races stood, this name would naturally cause dissatisfaction among some powerful individuals.
However, Luo's concession did not deter the four-legged powerhouse from leaving. Instead, he said sternly, "I don't need you to consider this. Execute it immediately. Go and change your title right now. If, a day from now, I still see the title ' Time King ' among the First Layer inheritors, you can pray that you never run into me outside the Five-Colored Aurora Lake!"
"Damn Hongmeng Alliance inheritor—" the four-legged creature cursed, "Do you know how painful it is to see the Time King, with such a powerful title, appear on the First Layer inheritor list? And your ranking is so low!"
"Greetings, Venerable Xue You ----"
"Lord Xue You."
The voices of other inheritors could be heard from not far away, and the four-legged powerhouse Time King was startled.
He quickly turned his head around.
They noticed that the Venerable Xue You, dressed in a blood-red robe, was walking towards them.
Thinking back to the casual conversation I had just had with my friends in the Glory World about the deeds of the Venerable Xue You.
The four-hoofed warrior was greatly surprised.
Unexpected.
Today, I came to Bauhinia Island Square to teach that ungrateful brat Hongmeng Alliance a lesson, only to run into Venerable Xue You.
"Greetings, Venerable Xue You!"
The four-legged warrior quickly bowed, his attitude extremely respectful, a stark contrast to his domineering demeanor when facing Luo earlier.
The identity switch was very smooth.
"Hmm! You're the Time King — the Time King of the Thorn Ring Alliance?"
Lu Qingshan chuckled and asked.
Luo, who was standing to the side, felt completely relieved when she saw the teacher arrive.
Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Time King of the Thorn Ring Alliance was very excited and quickly said, "Yes, sir, I didn't expect you to know my name."
The Venerable Xue You is a great being comparable to the Universe Master. He is merely a minor King Rank, yet to have his name remembered by such a great figure naturally fills him with trepidation and excitement.
However, the joy didn't last long.
What followed was a sentence that plunged him into despair.
"Your introduction was quite impressive, I naturally heard it—I heard you plan to have my disciple change his title, believing he is unworthy of the title ' Time King '?"
"What!!"
The four-legged warrior's expression changed drastically as he stared in disbelief in Luo's direction.
This frail, newly-ranked Human Race Initial King was actually a disciple of the Venerable Xue You —and he had just threatened the Venerable Xue You's disciple to change his title?
The four-legged warrior trembled all over.
My hooves almost went weak.
Then, he slid to his knees with a thud, his face full of pleading. "Lord Xue You, spare my life! I didn't know this Time King was your disciple, otherwise, even if I had a hundred lives, I wouldn't have dared to do this."
"He's adaptable and knows when to yield; he's quite a character."
Lu Qingshan chuckled softly.
When he walked this way just now, he thoroughly investigated the information about this Time King.
Born into a powerful clan within the Thorn Ring Alliance, a clan that possesses beings at the level of Universe Master.
However, that Universe Master was very weak, not even as strong as the Lord of Sky Wolf.
The news that his Xue You Clone had brutally beaten the Lord of Sky Wolf had spread throughout the Primal Universe. Even with the backing of the Universe Master, this guy naturally couldn't be too tough.
Time King was filled with remorse.
He shouldn't have gotten so drunk and threatened his friends that he would make this weak Time King change his name. He thought he was threatening Cotton, but he didn't expect that this guy had an outrageously powerful backer.
Venerable Xue You was a prominent figure in the Ancestral God Religion. Although he might not have been killed directly on Bauhinia Island, he was well aware of the consequences of the Mirror King's actions.
Many inheritors watched from a distance.
The inheritors are at least at the level of King Rank, so they naturally heard the conversation clearly.
Some of the inheritors looked at the Time King with pity.
This guy is really unlucky.
Of all people to mess with, why did they have to provoke the disciple of the Venerable Xue You —the inheritor of the Demon Race? What happened to him back then? And what about the Heart-Piercing King and the Mirror King? Doesn't that speak volumes?
Some people looked at Luo with envious expressions.
A weak First Layer inheritor of the Path of the Beast God, among the billions of inheritors of the Ancestral God Religion, was at the very bottom of the bottom. Unexpectedly, he was actually a disciple of the Venerable Xue You.
The fact that Venerable Xue You personally helped his disciple regain face shows that he values this disciple quite a bit.
Some of the inheritors are gradually becoming more active.
They are not qualified to speak with Venerable Xue You, but if they can befriend Venerable Xue You's disciples, they will surely benefit immensely in the future.
After all, apart from the lucky little guy Hongmeng Alliance, no one had ever heard of Venerable Xue You having any other disciples.
The four-legged warrior remained kneeling on the ground, awaiting the judgment of fate.
After a long while, Lu Qingshan's voice finally came. "You're glad that what you said was just a threat and you didn't take any real action, otherwise no one could have protected you. However, it's impossible for you to go unpunished. So, you'll be punished by having to compensate my disciple with treasures worth 10 billion Hunyuan Unit as compensation for emotional distress. Also, since you asked my disciple to change his title, then change your title as well. The title of Time King is indeed quite good—you're slightly lacking in qualifications."
Although it was a punishment, Venerable Xue You's words sounded like celestial music to the four-legged creature.
Venerable Xue You said so, it means he doesn't care.
That means my life is safe.
It's just a treasure worth about 10 billion Hongmeng Alliance Hunyuan Unit. He himself is already Invincible King, so it's easy for him to come up with it. As for the title—he can change it if he wants. Changing a title won't hurt him. He doesn't have any title obsession.
Moreover, since he was the one who first threatened the Venerable Xue You's disciple to change his title, such punishment seemed perfectly reasonable to him.
The four-legged warrior was very efficient; by the time he thanked them, he had already entered the Glory World and changed his name.
He changed his title from Time King to Light-Eroding King, and immediately presented several extremely precious treasures to compensate Luo for his mental distress. The value of these treasures, if measured in the currency of the Hongmeng Alliance, exceeded 10 billion Hunyuan Unit.
After doing all this, the four-legged warrior left Bauhinia Island Square as if he had been granted a pardon.
As the excitement died down, the inheritors who had been watching from afar gradually dispersed.
How are you feeling?
Lu Qingshan asked.
Luo looked in the direction where the Time King had just left and said, "Compared to the Human Territory, other parts of the Primal Universe are far more brutal. The life and death of the weak are only a matter of a single thought for the strong. The strong members of this Thorn Ring Alliance performed exceptionally well, and there are many things that disciples can learn from them."
"A true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm. To be stubborn in the face of a powerful figure who could easily kill you is foolish. The only consequence of being unyielding is breaking, unless you are the protagonist of this world—but after today, the news that you are my disciple will spread, and you should not encounter similar situations again in the Ancestral God Religion."
"The teacher's reputation is indeed powerful."
Luo sighed deeply.
He continued, "I have just received dozens of emails from the inheritors of the Hongmeng Alliance."
Over the years, Luo cultivated on Bauhinia Island but had no contact with the Hongmeng Alliance team. This was mainly because his Beast God Inheritance Token was neither bestowed by the Hongmeng Alliance nor from the Human Race, and his strength was too weak—only a Initial King inheritor. The Hongmeng Alliance had not extended any olive branch to him.
But now.
These emails arrived like snowflakes, including one personally sent by a supreme Universe Venerable.
Only now did Luo realize just how formidable his teacher, the Venerable Xue You, was within the Ancestral God Religion Sect.
He was able to meet his teacher when he was still a weak World Lord Level; it was as if he had used up all the luck he had in his entire life.
