Inside the Ancestral God Palace.
The old man, whose face resembled that of decaying wood, looked at the figure in the blood-red robe before him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
" Xue You —in just a few epochs, from Second Layer Inheritor to now having comprehended the Dao of Thunder Time Fusion, grasped the Beast God Heart, and become the Universe Master —even I am amazed by your talent."
The Xue You Clone had just broken through, and its aura was still difficult to completely conceal, especially the Beast God Heart, which was very clearly visible.
"Teacher—I owe my success today entirely to your guidance and support."
Lu Qingshan said gratefully.
Although the Old Ancestral God only guided him for a few days when he King Rank, and he basically cultivated on his own the rest of the time, the treatment he received from the Ancestral God far exceeded the standards of other top clans in cultivating geniuses.
Which Universe Master would bestow upon their disciple Top-tier Supreme Treasure War Blade or High-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure?
"You don't need to flatter me. With your talent, you would have gotten to where you are today even without me."
The Old Ancestral God shook his head slightly.
He then laughed.
"To have such a genius as you as my disciple is truly my good fortune. Perhaps I will need your help in the future—"
"If the teacher has any instructions, this disciple will do his utmost."
Lu Qingshan said sincerely.
"Haha." The Old Ancestral God chuckled, "I was just saying. I have no instructions yet. In the Primal Universe, even the Universe Supreme Master can be dealt with by me. And since I don't go to the Universe Ocean, there's naturally nothing I need to help with. What I'm talking about isn't the present, but the future, an incredibly distant future—"
"At that time, not only will I be relying on you, but all the powerful figures in our Ancestral God Religion will depend on you."
The Xue You Clone looked puzzled.
"The future the teacher talked about?"
"After the destruction of the Primal Universe— " the Old Ancestral God thought far ahead, "In our Ancestral God Religion, only you have the hope of becoming the Universe Supreme Master. If the Primal Universe truly is destroyed, only you will be the backer of our Ancestral God Religion in this era."
After saying that, the Old Ancestral God shook his head again. "No need to think too much about it, that's too far off—I summoned you here today to confirm your identity. You have become the Universe Master, and from now on you will be the Guardian Lord of our Ancestral God Religion —and also—"
While they were talking.
The Old Ancestral God took out a dark brown armor, composed of countless brown scales that appeared to have been soaked in blood, giving it a dull color—and it also exuded an evil aura.
The Old Ancestral God continued, "As you become the Guardian Lord and my disciple, you will naturally receive rewards from the Ancestral God Religion. I have decided to bestow this Prison-Suppressing Demon Armor upon you, which will enhance your defensive capabilities. This armor is considered quite good even among Peak Supreme Treasure Armor."
Even for the Three Ancestral Gods, a treasure of the Peak Supreme Treasure Armor is a precious item.
Moreover, it's a decent piece of Peak Supreme Treasure Armor.
Lu Qingshan put away the armor and said gratefully, "This disciple thanks Master for bestowing this upon me."
"This is not my gift, it is the gift of the Ancestral God Religion!"
The Old Ancestral God corrected.
Although he wouldn't have taken out such precious armor if Xue You wasn't his disciple, the Old Ancestral God didn't claim the credit for himself.
He continued, "Your strength is growing too fast, and your accumulation is insufficient—the treasures you possess are too inferior. This armor can enhance your survivability. After all, at the level of Universe Master, if you die, even I cannot revive you— the Ancestral God Religion also has its own rules. A Peak Supreme Treasure Armor is already somewhat beyond its specifications. You'll need to find other treasures yourself. However, you can go to the Treasure Land again and try for the second-ranked, or even first-ranked, treasure—as for the others, don't bother trying."
"Disciple understands."
Lu Qingshan nodded.
As Core Member the Ancestral God Religion and a disciple of the Old Ancestral God, his authority was naturally different from that of ordinary inheritors. Ordinary inheritors only had one chance, but he was not restricted.
With his current strength, if he were to visit every mountain peak, he could probably fulfill many of his conditions.
However, even without the reminder from the Old Ancestral God, he wouldn't have done that. Those True Treasure and Supreme Treasure were extremely ordinary things, of no use to him, and would only make him look too greedy.
As for the treasures ranked first and second, they are incredibly precious and extremely important to him now, so he naturally wouldn't care about saving face.
Moreover, if even he couldn't get that thing, Lu Qingshan couldn't imagine who else in the universe would have a chance to get it!
Instead of leaving it there as a decoration, we might as well take it and use it first, and then put some treasures in it later.
After becoming the Universe Master, excluding the Wonder placed in the Universe Ocean, he only possessed three decent treasures.
The Top-tier Supreme Treasure War Blade, the Azure Chi Ink Abyss Blade; the newly acquired Peak Supreme Treasure Armor, the Prison-Suppressing Demon Armor; and the Top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure Surging Waves Water Mirror.
As for other treasures, only High-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure are still somewhat useful; others, such as the Xue You Palace, can basically be discarded.
Upon closer reflection, he realized that most of the treasures he possessed were bestowed upon him by his teacher, the Old Ancestral God, while the rest were acquired from the Treasure Land.
In the Ancestral God Religion, he was treated like a chosen one, Human Main Body could not match.
"I will announce your appointment as the Guardian Lord —have you considered the title that follows the Universe Master?"
The Old Ancestral God asked.
"Title?"
After a moment's thought, Lu Qingshan made his decision and said, "Teacher, from now on, I will be called the Demon Master Xue You."
" Demon Master Xue You— " the Old Ancestral God repeated, then laughed, "Not bad, it continues your previous naming style, it can be considered domineering. Let's keep this name."
"I've considered a few names before, but I still think this one is better," Lu Qingshan nodded and said.
"Yes, go. After becoming the Guardian Lord, you can also build your own palace outside the Eight Beast Gods Palaces—the Xue You Continent will still be your territory. You can come and live in this palace whenever you have nothing to do in the future, which will also represent your status."
"Your disciple obeys."
Lu Qingshan bowed, turned and left the Ancestral God Palace, intending to complete the construction of his own palace first.
He just left.
A figure dressed in a white robe appeared. His head was flawless, with golden light flowing across his face and a Star Level seemingly dancing in his eyes. But the other side was as dark as an abyss, and his brow bone exuded coldness.
This person is the Two-Faced Ancestral God, one of the Three Ancestral Gods Three Ancestral Gods.
" Old, I lost this bet—your disciple is truly remarkable; I never imagined he would become the Universe Master in just a few epochs."
A gentle voice rang out, Two-Faced Ancestral God, true to his word, handed over a peculiar gem to the Old Ancestral God.
The Old Ancestral God accepted the treasure and laughed heartily, "This is the first time I've beaten you in all these years."
"It was with this Xue You that I misjudged him. I already thought highly of him, but I still underestimated him—perhaps he really is the first person in our Ancestral God Religion to become the strongest."
" The Master of Nine Nether also has some chance—he simply cannot move, and even I am unsure of his strength over the years," said the Old Ancestral God.
" The Master of Nine Nether possesses a massive divine body—he can only travel outside through avatars. No one knows the true extent of his strength. However, it is also very difficult for him. If he could achieve it, he would have done it long ago and wouldn't have waited until now."
The Two-Faced Ancestral God shook his head.
Becoming the Universe Supreme Master is too difficult.
Even though these Three Ancestral Gods —who received the Will of the Original Universe and had far better cultivation conditions than others, and were also top geniuses chosen by the Will of the Original Universe —even the strongest Two-Faced Ancestral God had no confidence whatsoever in becoming the strongest.
Creating a path that is entirely your own is too difficult.
The Two-Faced Ancestral God chose the path of Time-Space Fusion, a path no one had ever walked before—it was incredibly difficult, far too difficult.
Although the paths of the Old Ancestral God and the Young Ancestral God are simpler, even if one follows that path to the end, one may not necessarily become the Universe Supreme Master.
" Xue You— " the Old Ancestral God silently murmured his disciple's name, and said, "Perhaps in the future—this disciple of mine will bring us some surprises."
I hope so.
The Two-Faced Ancestral God did not refute this.
Xue You's progress was beyond his imagination, and he had a great chance of becoming the Universe Supreme Master in the future. If he were lucky enough to survive the cycle of reincarnation and bring back the legacy of Ancient Civilization, perhaps the three of them would also have a glimmer of hope.
Others may not understand the situation of the Holy Land Universe, but the Three Ancestral Gods do.
The Holy Land Universe must have a similar lineage, but unfortunately, it is their most core secret and they cannot tell anyone in the Universe Ocean.
Even the strongest beings in the Universe Ocean can only survive for three Reincarnation Era, but the Holy Land Universe has existed for an unknown period of time.
At the heart of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, outside the palaces of the Eight Beast Gods, a luxurious palace rises from the ground.
This scene attracted the attention of many people.
Those living nearby are not only the Guardian Lord, Guardian Beast God, and Guardian Divine Lord —but also their servants and disciples, all of whom are qualified to enter this place to cultivate.
They all knew.
What does having an extra palace mean?
This means that their Ancestral God Religion has gained another Universe Master. Only Universe Master is qualified to build a palace here; those Divine General who are comparable to Universe Master do not have such qualifications.
Who broke through?
--
Many people gazed at the blood-red palace from afar.
Soon, someone noticed the huge plaque outside the palace gate, with three characters clearly visible.
" Xue You Palace!!"
These three words explained everything—everyone immediately knew who the owner of the palace was.
" Venerable Xue You —no—he is now the Lord Xue You."
"As expected of the most talented individual in the Ancestral God Religion Sect."
"That's amazing! My teacher said he greatly admires Lord Xue You, I have to tell him this."
With the construction of the palace...
The news that Venerable Xue You had become the Universe Master quickly spread throughout the Glory World.
At this moment, the Special Lifeform team was filled with joy.
Even Flora, who doesn't usually drink, had several extra drinks.
"I knew long ago that the Xue You Brothers would become the Universe Master, but I never expected this day to come so soon."
Purple Rain Venerable gazed in the direction of the Ancestral God Palace, his expression a mixture of joy and complexity.
He was overjoyed that his friend had become the Universe Master, possessing immense power, and that their Special Lifeform team now had an even stronger backing.
He will also receive the protection of the Lord Xue You.
The complexity stems from the fact that Purple Rain Venerable was also a top genius—a prominent figure in the Ancestral God Religion, whose fame was even more terrifying than that of the Bug Chasing King and others. Yet, after so many years, that final step remained elusive.
Where some are happy, others are naturally sad.
The Demon Race's inheritor was shrouded in gloom and despair.
The growth history of the Venerable Xue You can be described as the blood and tears history of the Demon Race's inheritors.
Now that Venerable Xue You has become the Lord of the Universe, no one can be sure whether he will suppress or retaliate against the inheritors of their Demon Race.
They could only hope that Venerable Xue You had become the Universe Master, a supreme being of the Ancestral God Religion —and that they would no longer concern themselves with such trivial matters.
Inside the Palace of the Beast God of Lightning Eight Beast Gods god palaces.
On the enormous throne, the massive beast slowly opened its eyes and then yawned.
"Has something happened? I'm feeling uneasy, and I can't even sleep peacefully."
--
This time, the awakening was clearly not like before, when I woke up after a good night's sleep.
The interval was too short.
