"That's right, just as you think. So you should know how rare this gift is." The blessing of the Universe Origin Will has infinite uses.

Granting life the ability to Words Followed by Law, or bestowing upon them Innate Secret Technique equivalent to the Universe Supreme Master, is merely the most direct manifestation. In other aspects, there are also intangible benefits such as enhancing talent and fortune; for example, increased comprehension during cultivation, and a greater chance of discovering treasures and opportunities when venturing into dangerous secret realms...

The numerous benefits make it hard to refuse.

"May I ask, Two-Faced Ancestral God, what responsibilities will I be required to bear at that time?" Although the treatment was indeed generous, Luo Ao was not blinded by these benefits, but instead asked directly about the cost.

"Your responsibility is to complete tasks assigned by the Will of the Original Universe after you reach the strength of Universe Master. Of course, these tasks are not mandatory, and you will receive additional rewards for each completed task!"

As he said this, the Two-Faced Ancestral God once again felt the favor shown by the Universe Origin Will towards the human before him.

Honestly, this kind of cost is practically negligible, since there's no coercion involved. You can simply choose not to do the tasks if you don't want to, and you even receive a separate reward each time you do them—it's almost...

Although it seemed a bit unreasonable, since it was an order specifically issued by the Origin Will of the Original Universe, the Two-Faced Ancestral God and others naturally dared not have any objections.

"This..." Luo Ao was surprised to hear the Two-Faced Ancestral God make such a seemingly meaningless demand for responsibility.

"Well? Are you now willing to Ancestral God Religion Ancestral God Religion Cult and become a formal member?" The Two-Faced Ancestral God asked again with a smile.

"Since the Origin Will is so kind to me, I am willing to Ancestral God Religion!" After a moment's thought, Luo Ao readily agreed.

With so many benefits, why wouldn't I agree?

The Origin Will's plan was simply to have him help deal with the World Beast. However, the World Beast ' calamity was not only a tribulation for the Origin Will, but a tribulation for all living beings in the entire universe.

Even if the Origin Will didn't grant him this blessing, he would still have to deal with the World Beast eventually.

"A wise decision!" Upon hearing Luo Ao's reply, the Two-Faced Ancestral God nodded in agreement.

"This is a Faith-Guarding God Lord Token, which I am issuing to you in advance. With it, you can establish contact with members of my Ancestral God Religion throughout the entire Primal Universe and issue commands to those below you. Furthermore, with this token, you can also utilize a portion of the Ancestral God Religion's power within the Five-Colored Aurora Lake area."

The God Lord Token was only granted to Luo Ao after he broke through to become the Universe Master. However, the Two-Faced Ancestral God was a shrewd man and naturally didn't mind doing Luo Ao a favor.

After all, this was someone favored by the Universe Origin Will, so the Two-Faced Ancestral God naturally also intended to befriend him.

"Thank you, Two-Faced Ancestral God." Although the token seemed to hold considerable power, Luo Ao didn't pay it much attention.

"By the way, don't leave Zijing Island for the next few days. The Three Ancestor Gods will appear together, representing the great Origin Will, to bestow upon you Supreme Treasure on Zijing Island." The Two-Faced Ancestral God mentioned this again before leaving.

"Understood." The presence of the Three Ancestor Gods, representing the Origin Will, is probably the greatest honor ever bestowed upon any member of the Ancestral God Religion in history.

After their exchange, the Two-Faced Ancestral God left the Azure Castle again. However, the news that the Two-Faced Ancestral God had personally visited the human Asura Venerable spread like wildfire, causing speculation among the inheritors from all sides.

Since the Ancestral God Religion was going to publicly bestow treasures, Luo Ao naturally stayed obediently on Zijing Island, waiting for that day to arrive.

After all, this is a Top-tier Supreme Treasure. Many supreme Supreme Treasure of Universe Master are only at this level.

Zijing Island, inside the blue castle.

" The Three Ancestor Gods appeared together, bestowing Supreme Treasure?" Jiu Feng Venerable suddenly stood up, his eyes wide with shock. "This, this, Asura, you're not kidding, are you?"

" The Two-Faced Ancestral God came to find me personally, how could it be a joke?" Luo Ao smiled and shook his head. "You are also Reserve Divine General, so you probably know this news earlier than others."

Since the Two-Faced Ancestral God personally came to visit him, the Human Race would naturally be concerned about what had happened, which is why Jiu Feng Venerable came to inquire with concern.

Jiu Feng Venerable looked at Luo Ao with a strange expression. " The Three Ancestor Gods have personally descended. Such an honor has never been seen before. At the very least, it must be a High-grade Supreme Treasure! There's even a high probability that it's a Top-tier Supreme Treasure."

What are the identities of the Three Ancestor Gods? Their status in the Primal Universe is comparable to that of the Giant Axe Founder. If the three of them appeared together and were only given a High-grade Supreme Treasure, it would be too unbecoming. Therefore, it is highly likely that it is a Top-tier Supreme Treasure!

"However, Asura, you are not Special Lifeform. You are born into our Human Race. Why would the Ancestral God Religion do this..." Jiu Feng Venerable even suspected that this Asura Venerable had 'joined' the Ancestral God Religion, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

As a candidate for Reserve Divine General, he was naturally aware of some of the 'unspoken rules' of the Ancestral God Religion. The Ancestral God Religion bestowed Supreme Treasure and various resource rewards, but it valued Special Lifeform like the Insect Chasing King who had no other background the most, because their primary object of loyalty was the Ancestral God Religion.

For Special Lifeform like humans, Demon Race, and even the Barking Mirror King who have joined other alliances, their primary object of loyalty is their respective race (alliance).

If the primary object of loyalty is not the Ancestral God Religion, then the degree of favor bestowed by the Ancestral God Religion will naturally decline sharply.

Therefore, although both are Immortal Special Lifeform with extraordinary Life Gene Level, the Insect Chasing King was bestowed with two Supreme Treasure by the Ancestral God Religion, while the Barking Mirror King had none.

"I only agreed to become Outer Member of the Ancestral God Religion." Luo Ao glanced at Jiu Feng Venerable with a deep gaze and spoke calmly.

" Outer Member? This, Asura, you truly enjoy the favor of the Ancestral God Religion." Jiu Feng Venerable's gaze flickered, and he gave an awkward smile. For some reason, he always felt that Asura Venerable's gaze could penetrate his soul.

It should be known that he was Reserve Divine General, possessing four Supreme Treasure, making him a true Universe Overlord. Asura Venerable, on the other hand, was merely a newly ascended genius Venerable. Yet, when the other's gaze swept over him just now, he felt a chill run down his spine and his heart pounded with fear.

Little did he know that Luo Ao had just grasped the essence of the Eight Beast Gods and the Beast God Heart, making his mental will naturally extraordinary. Apart from the Universe Supreme Master, even the Chaos City Lord and others could not compare to him in this respect.

Virtual Universe.

"It's rare for the Ancestral God Religion Sect to be so generous, which is naturally a great thing for our Human Race. However, Jiu Feng, you really need to pay attention to your attitude when you speak to Asura next time..." Even the Chaos City Lord and the Lord of Ice Peak were very happy after learning this news.

It's not just the bestowal of the Supreme Treasure itself, but also the friendly attitude of the Ancestral God Religion towards humanity that is something to be very happy about.

"Yes, Lord City Lord." After receiving the warning from the Chaos City Lord, Jiu Feng Venerable was secretly jolted awake. Indeed, Asura was the Lord of Ice Peak's 'personal disciple'; how could he have thought that way back then?

If this causes the Asura to become dissatisfied with their race, wouldn't Jiu Feng become a sinner against his race?

"My disciple isn't that petty..." The Lord of Ice Peak merely glanced over and said this, but Jiu Feng Venerable understood what he meant and smiled bitterly to himself.

"Alright, let's wait for good news from the Three Ancestor Gods..." The Chaos City Lord took over the conversation and then ended the call.

Shortly after the Human Race received this message, other races and major powers also received the intelligence.

After all, many of the Outer Member of the Ancestral God Religion are actually their people. For example, many of the Universe Master and Reserve Beast God under the management of the Guardian Divine Lord are actually from various major forces in the universe.

Seven days after the Ancestral God Religion released the information.

Above Zijing Island, three invisible yet terrifying pressures descended, causing all the inheritors to tremble. The owners of these three pressures possessed different auras, but any one of them was more terrifying than the Guardian Beast God of Bauhinia Island Master.

This immediately caused many inheritors to fly out of their palaces.

" The Three Ancestor Gods are about to descend?" Many inheritors quickly flew out of the mansion.

Meanwhile, inside Luo Ao's castle.

He was meditating when the immense pressure descended upon him, instantly snapping him back to reality.

"It's finally here."

With a smile on his face, Luo Ao stepped out of the door and then took to the air.

Above Zijing Island, hundreds of millions of inheritors were densely packed, all looking up at the sky.

Luo Ao also looked up at the sky at this moment.

Three figures in white robes stood side by side in the void, each robe faintly emitting colorful light. At the same time, an incomparably powerful and irresistible pressure emanated from these Three Ancestral Gods, spreading outwards.

"Um?"

A cold snort came from the void.

The pressure emanating from the void suddenly intensified, causing hundreds of millions of inheritors who were originally in mid-air to plummet to the ground. Even the inheritors of the Universe Venerable could not withstand the fall.

Gradually, the three figures in white robes slowly descended, revealing their true forms.

On the left is Two-Faced Ancestral God with two black and white faces; in the center is an old orc; and on the right is a handsome young man in red armor.

These are the Three Ancestor Gods!

Many of the inheritors were seeing the true faces of the Three Ancestor Gods for the first time.

The Three Ancestor Gods looked down... and no one dared to meet their gaze.

"The power of the Ancestral God is indeed extraordinary." Luo Ao could feel that the aura emanating from the Three Ancestor Gods had clearly surpassed that of the Lord of Ice Peak, reaching a level comparable to the Universe Supreme Master.

Under the overwhelming power of the Three Ancestor Gods, all the inheritors... submitted.

"We three are the Three Ancestor Gods of the Ancestral God Religion, and today we represent the Origin Will of the Original Universe..." The Old Ancestral God in the center spoke in a hoarse voice. Although it sounded deep and hoarse, it seemed to resonate in the hearts of everyone on Zijing Island.

"Represents the Origin Will of the Original Universe! This..." Many inheritors widened their eyes!

I had only heard that the Three Ancestor Gods would personally appear to bestow treasures, but I had never heard that it was the Origin Will of the Original Universe!

These two things have completely different meanings!

"The successor, Asura Venerable."

Ignoring the shock of the various forces, the Old Ancestral God's voice once again resounded throughout Zijing Island.

Seeing the kind smile on the face of the ferocious-looking old orc, Luo Ao also ascended directly into the sky.

Immediately, hundreds of millions of inheritors from various races of the universe below looked up with envy at the " Asura Venerable " who was slowly rising into the sky. They all understood that... the Three Ancestor Gods descended together, Universe Origin Will bestowed treasures, all for this human Asura Venerable!

Ascending to the heavens, Luo Ao, now on par with the Three Ancestor Gods, resembled a blazing sun, so dazzling that he attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of inheritors.

The Three Ancestor Gods looked down, and at the same time... they also gazed at the Asura Venerable " Luo Ao," revealing a sense of goodwill and friendliness. At this moment... the Old Ancestral God slowly opened his mouth and once again emitted a low, hoarse voice.

" Asura," the Old Ancestral God called out.

Luo Ao stood in mid-air, bowing slightly. " Ancestral God."

"By the command of the Great Origin Will," the Old Ancestral God looked down, his gaze fixed entirely on Luo Ao, "This treasure now belongs to you."

Whoosh--

The hundreds of millions of inheritors below were immediately in an uproar, almost all of them showing expressions of shock and envy.

"They actually bestowed the treasure publicly."

" The Three Ancestor Gods have personally descended and bestowed treasures upon us!"

"Didn't you hear that? It's still the command of the Origin Will!"

"Such a grand display, the treasure bestowed must be no ordinary Supreme Treasure. Otherwise, how could it be worthy of the Three Ancestor Gods? What merit does this Asura Venerable possess?!" The inheritors couldn't help but whisper among themselves, each one extremely excited, some even driven mad with jealousy!

Seeing the envy and jealousy of the other inheritors, the Three Ancestor Gods did not stop them.

The reason for such a grand display was precisely for this scene. Otherwise, they could have bestowed the gifts upon Asura Venerable in private.

"Other inheritors were bestowed with Supreme Treasure because they had performed astonishing deeds. What deeds does this Asura Venerable have that are worth recounting?"

"He's just a newly promoted Venerable, his strength is probably not even half as good as mine!"

One by one, the inheritors, and even many venerable ones, blushed and were filled with resentment!

Other inheritors who received the treasure had at least proven their talent and strength; for example, the Insect Chasing King had once directly killed Universe Venerable while still Immortal. With such achievements, they accepted being bestowed a Supreme Treasure.

But what gives this Asura Venerable the right to do this?

Luo Ao completely ignored the discussions below, and he couldn't be bothered to listen. He was only concerned with what type of treasure he was being bestowed upon.

"Thank you for the gift from the Origin Will!" Luo Ao bowed respectfully.

"This is the treasure bestowed upon you." The Old Ancestral God's voice was hoarse, and at the same time, an ancient and astonishing city suddenly appeared before him. Countless flames faintly surrounded this ancient city, which was about several million kilometers in diameter.

As soon as it appeared, it quickly shrank in size and flew towards Luo Ao, landing in his palm like a palace model.

As it flew, the flames on the city walls completely subsided and gradually dissipated. By the time it landed in the palm of the hand, its divine power had been concealed, and its astonishing might was no longer apparent.

Luo Ao looked at the 'miniature city' in his hand with surprise.

"A city?" Luo Ao was secretly delighted.

City-type treasures are highly likely to be flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure.

A top-tier flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure is worth as much as an ordinary Peak Supreme Treasure!
