Chapter 132 Paying Homage to the Ancestral God
Qi Yuan never expected that his identity would be exposed by the Lord of the Netherworld.
He knew that this Lord of the Netherworld was not only the guardian deity of the Ancestral God Sect, but also the cosmic lord of the demon race, and had a deep grudge against humans due to their long-standing wars.
However, Qi Yuan was not afraid, because the Ancestral God Sect had its own rules and would not allow him to act recklessly.
Besides, even if he were to take the risk and attack me, at most he could only destroy my human clone.
His will has reached the level of a high-level cosmic venerable, and he also possesses the top-tier soul defense treasure, Jiuhe, making it impossible for him to be enslaved by a soul.
As for the treasures on his body, as long as he did not perish completely, these treasures belong to an owner, and the Five-Colored Aurora Lake will protect them and not allow anyone to take them away.
Unless the three ancestral gods intervene.
However, the Ancestral God Sect has always claimed neutrality, so it is clear that these treasures are not worth their effort to seize.
Even the most precious celestial origin wheel was placed there by the ancient ancestral god Cang Lao.
Knowing he wouldn't die and wouldn't lose the treasure, Qi Yuan's courage naturally grew considerably.
He stared at the Lord of the Netherworld with neither servility nor arrogance: "If the Lord Protector has nothing else to say, I will take my leave now."
He deliberately emphasized the title "Guardian God Lord" to remind him not to forget his identity and that this was the Ancestral God Sect, not the demon territory where he could act tyrannically.
"Good, that's courageous!"
The Lord of the Netherworld gave him a deep look and said, "Give me the treasures you obtained from Treasure Number One, and I will exchange them for a top-tier treasure. If you agree to this, I can promise to protect you as long as you remain in the Ancestral Mystic Realm."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think I need it." Qi Yuan stared at him without fear. "If anyone wants to kill me, then go ahead and do it."
"hiss!"
Everyone was stunned by Qi Yuan's courage.
Who couldn't tell that the Lord of the Dark Demons was threatening him, saying that if he agreed, he would be given protection, but what if he didn't agree?
Unless he never ventures into the Ancestral Mystic Realm again.
Even so, does that mean he should stay in the safe zone forever and never venture into the secret realms of the primordial universe?
Offending a cosmic ruler will likely make things very difficult for you in the future.
But is it possible to grow up without leaving the safe zone and venturing out?
Everyone thought Qi Yuan was too arrogant and ignorant of his own limitations.
"Huh? You think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
The Lord of the Netherworld was furious. The air seemed to freeze, and the void trembled. The powerful force caused Qi Yuan's bones to creak.
"If the Lord Protector of the Faith wants to bully the weak, then let him do it."
Qi Yuan responded loudly, his voice spreading far and wide, alarming more and more people.
"You Demon, that's enough! This is the Ancestral God Sect, not your demon race! Don't bring your clan's grudges here, or you'll lose your position as the Guardian God!"
With a whoosh, a long river of blood shot into the sky, instantly dissolving the aura of the Lord of the Netherworld.
"Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, are you going to interfere in the feud between me and humans?" The Lord of the Netherworlds gazed into the distance.
"I don't care about the grudges between your clans, but as the Protector of the Faith, you cannot attack the inheritors on the territory of the Ancestral God Faith," the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' voice drifted over. "Otherwise, it would be a provocation against the entire Ancestral God Faith. This is my will, and also the will of the three Ancestral Gods. If you are unwilling, you are welcome to try."
A hint of apprehension flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Dark Demons.
He gave Qi Yuan a deep look: "Young man, I'll remember you. You'd better never venture into space again!"
After saying that, the enormous face formed from divine power in the sky began to shrink and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Qi Yuan bowed in the direction from which the voice of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds came, and then called to the still bewildered King Jiufeng to return together.
"call!"
Only after Qi Yuan left did these inheritors breathe a sigh of relief.
They never imagined they would witness a clash between the masters of the universe in their lifetime, and the oppressive atmosphere was truly unbearable for them.
At this point, they also relayed the news back to their respective tribes.
At this time, the storm stirred up by Qi Yuan had swept across the entire universe, and every race with even a little strength had heard of his name and deeds.
When Qi Yuan opened the treasure of the first mountain peak, in the Ancestral God Palace, the core area of the Ancestral God Sect.
The three ancestral gods are cultivating with their eyes closed.
Suddenly, they opened their eyes wide, their ears twitched slightly, and they listened intently to the guidance of the primordial will of the universe.
Their expressions were very serious. Every time the primordial will of the universe descended, it was because a major event related to the universe had occurred.
They wondered whether this time would be good or bad. They thought anxiously.
"He has appeared—he is the darling of the rules, the favored one of the origin—the future crisis depends on him—pay attention to him—"
The primordial will descended silently and departed just as silently, leaving only the three ancestral gods looking at each other in bewilderment.
"who is he?"
What will be the crisis of the future?
The aged ancestral god suddenly waved his hand to stop the two-faced ancestral god and the young ancestral god from asking questions.
"I know who he is!" he laughed. "The treasure on the first mountain I set up in the treasure trove has been opened."
With a wave of his hand, the scene of Qi Yuan opening the treasure appeared before his eyes.
"His name is Qi Yuan, the number one genius of the human race in this era. In addition, he has a resounding title on the battlefield outside the realm: the Origin King!"
The other two ancestral gods also quickly found out Qi Yuan's information.
"To achieve unparalleled combat power as a World Lord, even with supreme treasures, is an incredible miracle!"
"The great primordial will wants us to pay attention to it, but how should we pay attention? Should we protect it at all times?" the young ancestral god asked.
"We can protect him within the Ancestral God Cult's territory, but once he leaves, he's no longer within their protection. Our Ancestral God Cult has always upheld the principle of neutrality; protecting him outside of it would violate our established rules," said the Two-Faced Ancestral God. "Furthermore, even the Origin Will mentioned this future crisis. What kind of crisis could it be that would prompt the Origin Will to mention it? Should we guide him and help him grow?"
"I can take him as my disciple, so that I can rightfully protect him, accelerate his growth, and help him become a strongman as soon as possible to deal with the crisis mentioned by the Great Origin Will," said the Ancestor God Cang.
The eyes of the other two ancestral gods also lit up, realizing that this was a good idea.
This would allow them to legitimately help Qi Yuan, and also bring him into the Ancestral God Cult's influence.
Since he is favored by the will of the universe and has been given a special and solemn reminder, he definitely has the potential to become a super being in the future.
Bringing him into the Ancestral God Cult would definitely be a worthwhile investment.
Although the Ancestral God Cult adheres to the principle of neutrality, it is still quite enthusiastic about recruiting powerful individuals from across the universe.
Qi Yuan had just returned to his residence when he saw an old man sitting in the courtyard. The old man was the same old ancestral god who had appeared when he opened the No. 1 treasure.
Qi Yuan was stunned, completely unexpected that the Ancestral God Cang would appear here.
You should know that the Ancestral God Cang is a sixth-order universe master.
As the representative of the primordial will of the universe, his strength and deterrent power within the Primordial Universe even surpassed that of the strongest being in the universe!
"Greetings, Ancestral God!" Qi Yuan bowed respectfully.
"Are you curious why I've come here?" The old ancestor looked at him with a smile.
Before Qi Yuan could reply, he continued, "I came here specifically to take you as my disciple. You are favored by the will of the origin and are naturally suited to our Ancestral God Sect."
"Uh—" Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Thank you for your kindness, Ancestral God, but I am of human origin and it is impossible for me to betray my race."
"The Ancestral God Cult takes it upon itself to maintain the rules governing the universe and does not participate in territorial disputes, so it will not make things difficult for you. Even if there are missions involving humanity, you will not be allowed to participate."
Having gone this far, it would be too disrespectful to refuse now.
Qi Yuan said, "At this point, I need to inform my teacher first."
The old ancestor said, "That's only right. I'll settle down next to your residence. Come find me if you need anything." With that, he left.
At this moment, Qi Yuan saw the email sent by his teacher, the Lord of Darkness.
He quickly logged into the virtual universe and reported the whole story to the Lord of Darkness.
This includes his involvement in the plot to kill Venerable Peifeng, obtaining the Celestial Origin Wheel, his conflict with the Lord of the Netherworld, and the Old Ancestral God's intention to take him as a disciple, among other things.
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Darkness laughed and said, "Your short trip has been more exciting than others' billions of years!"
He pondered for a moment, then said, "Since the Ancestral God is willing to take you as his disciple, then agree. This way, your safety within the Ancestral God's sect will be guaranteed, and you won't have to worry about being ambushed by other races."
After chatting for a while, Qi Yuan took his leave.
"The favor of the universe's origin?" the Lord of Darkness muttered to himself. "I've never heard of the universe's will showing such favor to any one being. My disciple's future encounters will likely be even more mysterious than those of Junior Sister Muxing."
At this moment, the highest-level meeting of humankind commenced.
The highest-level meeting is called the Giant Axe Meeting, and it is led by the founder of Giant Axe.
Only the cosmic ruler of the human race was present at this meeting.
Moments later, all the lords of the universe arrived.
"I wonder what the purpose of this meeting is?" Lord of the Wasteland asked curiously.
"I don't know. The time for the Primordial Star to open hasn't arrived yet, and besides, only the Lord of the Universe is participating, so it must involve a major event within the race." The chubby Lord Peng Gong said, shaking his head. "Could it be that some supreme treasure has been discovered in the Cosmic Sea, and they're going to fight for it?"
As they were chatting in twos and threes, the founder of the giant axe and the Lord of Chaos City suddenly arrived.
Everyone fell silent and bowed to the founder of the giant axe.
"Giant Axe".
The founder of the giant axe waved his hand and said to the Lord of Chaos City, "Chaos, you should still preside over it."
"The main purpose of this meeting is to discuss Qi Yuan's matter," the Chaos City Lord said after glancing at everyone.
"Qi Yuan? That kid from Virtual Universe Company? What happened to him?"
All the universe lords became curious, wondering what could a mere world lord-level nobody have that warranted a meeting and discussion.
Most of these universe lords spend most of their time roaming the cosmic sea, and many of them have never even heard of Qi Yuan's name. After all, Qi Yuan's rise to power was too short-lived, and many of them never even returned to the original universe during that time.
The Lord of Chaos briefly recounted Qi Yuan's experiences within the Ancestral God Sect.
"It seems that Qi Yuan is currently safe within the Ancestral God Cult, especially after becoming a disciple of the Elder Ancestral God. However, the three major races of the Demon Race, Insect Race, and Mechanical Race will certainly not let this go easily, so we are discussing whether to bestow upon him another life-saving item."
"Excellent! A World Lord level cultivator possessing invincible combat power worthy of a King-level title—that's truly unprecedented!"
"It's still the Dark Society's disciples who not only produced Youhou, a master of the universe, but also an unprecedented genius like Qi Yuan!"
"He should be given a treasure to save his life, preferably a soul-related treasure, so that his true self will have no weaknesses and will not be afraid of being enslaved by his soul."
All the lords of the universe agreed to bestow upon Qi Yuan another top-tier soul-type treasure to protect his Tu Yu main body from being enslaved by the soul.
In their view, Qi Yuan's talent has surpassed that of Kodi and the Fire Erosion Venerable, and he has a certain chance of breaking through to the level of the Universe Lord.
The hope is even greater than that of the three top human cosmic overlords: the Star Prison Demon Lord, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, and the Ancestral Tree Venerable.
Although the human beings, the masters of the universe, each have their own selfish motives, they are still very united when it comes to the human race.
"Every newly appointed Universe Lord receives a supreme treasure bestowed by their race. Qi Yuan's situation is special; let's just consider him enjoying the treatment of a Universe Lord ahead of time."
The founder of the giant axe declared definitively, "The clan will bestow upon him a top-tier soul-type treasure, but it will not be bestowed upon him again when he breaks through to the level of a universe master."
This is also to ensure fairness in the rules governing human groups.
"Furthermore, Qi Yuan will also be granted a spot in the next Soul-Binding God's inheritance. After this Soul Amplification Inheritance, his will will likely reach the level of contending with a cosmic overlord. Coupled with a top-tier soul-type treasure, there will likely be even fewer threats to his life in the universe. Once he breaks through to the Immortal level, his soul will might even reach the level of a cosmic lord!"
"Can."
"I agree."
Everyone agreed.
"Alright, let Chaos handle this matter. Meeting adjourned."
The high-level human meeting was very brief, and a decision was made quickly.
Qi Yuan received a notification that his Tu Yu body had left the extraterrestrial battlefield and returned to Chaos City to receive the supreme treasure bestowed upon him by his clan.
At the same time, Qi Yuan arrived at the neighboring mansion and formally became a disciple of the ancestral god Cang.
"Disciple, this secret text, 'The Theory of Origin,' was compiled by the three of us ancestral gods in conjunction with the celestial origin wheel. The secret methods within involve the study and application of the evolution of various laws. You must study it carefully."
After becoming an apprentice, the ancient ancestor Cang infused the secret techniques accompanying the Celestial Origin Wheel into Xiao Jiu's database, allowing Qi Yuan to access them at any time.
Qi Yuan returned to his residence and began studying the secret patterns on the Celestial Origin Wheel.
At this moment, countless emails were sent to him from the world of Glory—
