Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Chapter 366

Ancestral God Sect, Bauhinia Island.

Outside Yang Wu's palace, there are palaces of inheritors of various ethnic groups. However, these palaces are now crowded with people, either immortals or venerables.

They were either from the top tribes or solitary special lives, and at this moment they were all looking at the ordinary palace beside the river in the distance.

These strong men were watching silently. Although they did not intervene, they did not mind watching a big battle.

There is always a timeless truth in the primitive universe: only the strong are worthy of owning the treasure.

These inheritances had already guessed...

The treasure of the first peak is very attractive to those big forces. Of course, if it were not for the constraints of the rules of the Ancestral God Religion, these lone travelers or the strong men of other forces would probably be the first to take action.

Every palace on Bauhinia Island is the residence of the inheritor of the Ancestral God Religion. It is the only territory where the inheritor feels absolutely safe.

Other inheritors are forbidden to trespass without permission. If they do, they will be attacked by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and instantly annihilated.

The human Hongmeng has produced a King Qingli. The three neighboring peak clans will definitely not watch King Qingli grow up. It depends on who can't help it first.

The Universe Lords with ulterior motives who were hiding in the palace and could easily see King Qingli's residence were all very patient at this moment.

One day, two days, three days...

Time passed slowly, leaving the Universe Lords and the King Inheritors who were watching all the time speechless.

"Does King Qingli intend to stay in his mansion on Bauhinia Island and never leave?"

"But he has to accept the inheritance anyway. To accept the inheritance, he has to go to the inheritance passage in front of the Island Master's Palace, and he must leave the mansion."

Even the inheritors who were waiting to watch the fun and intend to pick up the bargains were very confused, but the fact was that Yang Wu had not come out since he returned from the treasure land.

……

Virtual universe, Hongmeng City.

Yang Wu didn't do anything these days. He just got to know some inheritors of Hongmeng in a restaurant outside the city of Hongmeng.

King Chaman, King Lishuo, King Qijian, King Qianyu, etc.

There are very few inheritors of the Zushen Sect in the Hongmeng, including several powerful clans within the Hongmeng. The total number of inheritors is only about 5,000 strong men.

after all……

The inheritance of the Beast God is only one of the ways to become a strong person. Although the human Hongmeng is relatively weak in the Ancestral God Religion, it only represents that the inheritance of the Beast God of the Hongmeng is relatively weak.

At this time, more than ten days had passed since Yang Wu left the treasure place and returned to the palace residence. The powerful alien warriors with ulterior motives on Bauhinia Island were all very patient. Although they were anxious and cursed inwardly, they were still waiting.

Those inheritors who were ready to watch the fun had given up long ago and went about their business.

……

Bauhinia Island.

In a quiet room in Yang Wu's palace, a hazy light lit up and Yang Wu suddenly appeared.

"Come to think of it, more than half a month has passed. Those alien races who are ready to watch the show won't still be waiting, right? Otherwise, why not go out and give them a false start?"

Yang Wu smiled, walked out of the quiet room and looked towards the palace gate.

suddenly--

A voice sounded in his ears: "Yang Wu."

"Ok?"

Yang Wu exclaimed in surprise. This voice was... He immediately turned around and saw a figure appear out of thin air in his palace courtyard.

This is a humanoid strong man about tens of meters tall with six arms and thick legs. There is a face on the front and back of his head.

The front face is white, appears very kind, and has a smile on his face, which makes people involuntarily affected by him. The back face is dark, very ferocious, and filled with murderous aura.

His six arms each held six short sticks with four edges, somewhat similar to the mace weapons in Earth's history.

Of these six maces, three are black and three are white. At the same time, each black mace and white mace has breath flowing, forming a black and white airflow cycle.

Double-faced ancestor god!

At this moment, the fair and kind face looked at Yang Wu, making people feel like spring breeze.

"Meet the Ancestral God."

Yang Wulian walked closer and saluted respectfully.

Yang Wu was not surprised that his true identity was exposed. The Ancestral God was closely connected to the Original Will, and with the Five-Colored Aurora Lake being the most powerful treasure, it was not difficult to see through his true identity.

"The first treasure is the Ziling Palace of Lord Zihao. I put it there when I opened up the treasure land. Endless years have passed, and I thought no one would be able to open it." The two-faced ancestor god said with a smile.

"Thank you, ancestor god, for the gift of treasure."

Yang Wulian expressed his gratitude. Although Ziling Palace was the most precious treasure of Lord Zihao, it was left by the two-faced ancestor god.

In fact, Yang Wu was not very surprised by the appearance of the Ancestral God. After all, this was a top-level palace treasure. If he had no reaction after obtaining it, it would be strange.

The fact that the Two-Faced Ancestral God could watch him send the treasure back to the human territory further illustrates his attitude.

A top-level treasure means so much to Yang Wu that even the human race would not be so generous in giving it to him. Although this can be said to be Yang Wu's fate, it can also be considered a favor.

"Haha, come to think of it, when I first placed this treasure, I had no intention of anyone getting it. But when someone actually managed to do it, even I was surprised."

"Oh?" Yang Wu was a little curious. Could it be that the conditions left in the information were not comprehensive? What kind of conditions could make the Two-Faced Ancestral God think that no one could open it?
However, the Two-Faced Ancestral God did not directly answer the question, but instead said something else: "I have learned about your information. You have been practicing for a short time, but your progress is amazing."

The Two-Faced Ancestral God smiled at Yang Wu and said, "Compared to the Way of Time and Space, your progress in the Way of the Beast God is even more astonishing."

"The three conditions for unlocking the first treasure are difficult to achieve individually, let alone all three combined." The two-faced ancestor god smiled, obviously very satisfied with Yang Wu.

"The most crucial thing is the hidden conditions that truly determine the unlocking of the treasure. Do you know what conditions I set?" said the Two-Faced Ancestral God.

"I don't know." Yang Wu shook his head.

"My Ancestral God Cult is the guardian of the laws governing the operation of the universe and the spokesperson for the original will of the primordial universe. As ancestral gods, we are able to communicate with the original will of the universe."

The Two-Faced Ancestral God whispered, "So when I opened up the treasure land and left behind the Purple Ridge Palace, even if the three surface conditions were met, if the hidden conditions were not met, the treasure would ultimately not be unlocked."

"But conversely, as long as the final hidden condition is achieved, the first three conditions can be completely ignored, and the first treasure can still be directly unlocked."

Yang Wu was speechless. Since these three conditions were useless, why set them up?
"Haha, that was just a random suggestion of mine. I never thought anyone could actually achieve it." The Two-Faced Ancestral God laughed and said, "The most crucial condition for hiding it is to see the reaction of the original will of the universe. If you can gain the favor of the original will of the universe, the treasure will naturally be opened."

"The primordial universe gave birth to countless lives. These lives were like the children of the universe, and were favored by the universe. They cultivated from being weak all the way to becoming the masters of the universe. During this long period, the primordial universe has always been full of grace."

"This is the primordial universe's gift to all life. The fact that you were able to obtain the Purple Ridge Palace shows that you are the one among countless inheritors who has received special favor from the universe, just like my Ancestral God Sect was able to receive the universe's gift. This kind of gift to an individual is even more special."

"This alone shows that your potential is greater than anyone can imagine. We in the Ancestral God Cult hope that you will grow. When your strength rivals that of the Chaos City Lords of your human race, we will then offer you the position of Protector of the Cult."

Yang Wu was a little dazed.

The special grace of the original will?
If that's true, being granted the will of the origin twice in a row is indeed a blessing.

For countless lives in the original universe, the grace of the original will of the universe surpasses everything.

Talent? In the primordial universe, all life is nurtured by the universe, and the so-called "talent" is also bestowed by the universe.

Chance? The countless treasures of the primordial universe were basically conceived by the primordial universe. The treasures that you can't get are likely to be conceived by the universe at random.

Being favored by the original will, both the race and individual life will enjoy endless benefits.

Just like there are countless treasures in the Ancestral God's Secret Realm, all of them are monopolized by the Ancestral God Religion because it is favored by the will of the original universe.

Although the three ancestral gods of the Ancestral God Religion are only the masters of the universe, they are given the privilege of having their words carried out as the strongest ones due to the deliberate favoritism of the original will of the universe.

Although he can never break through to the level of a true god, he is gifted with the secret skills of the strongest person in the universe by the origin of the original universe. As long as he is in the original universe, he has the combat power of a true god.

Looking at the amiable face of the Two-Faced Ancestral God, Yang Wu finally understood why the Two-Faced Ancestral God would place a top-level palace treasure on the highest mountain.

It turns out that this was not prepared for outsiders at all, but a protective treasure prepared for the future guardian god of the Zushen Religion.

No wonder he is so generous!
"Perhaps you don't know much about the Protector of the Religion."

The two-faced ancestor god looked at Yang Wu and explained, "The ancestor god sect is divided into formal members and peripheral members, but the real battles rely more on the peripheral members. This is also the most powerful military organization in the universe."

Yang Wu nodded.

Although there are only more than 3,000 official members of the Ancestral God Sect, its peripheral members are countless peerless geniuses from billions of races in the entire universe.

Apart from the candidates for divine envoys who have reached the limit of strength to be crowned king, many of the candidates for divine generals and inheritors of the beast god who have reached extremely high levels (above the fifth level) can be regarded as overlords of the universe.

The Lord Protector of the Religion is the highest-ranking member among the outer members of the Ancestral God Religion. His status is comparable to that of the Beast God, who is a formal member. He has several Lords of the Universe under his command.

The guardian deity of the Zushen Sect is a position that ordinary universe masters are completely incapable of. Each guardian deity is an extremely powerful universe master, such as Fengtian God Lord, Jiuyou God Lord...

The Ancestral God looked at Yang Wu and said, "Yang Wu, are you willing to join the peripheral organization of my Ancestral God Cult?"

"The peripheral organizations have always been very free and usually have no constraints. Occasionally, my Ancestral God Cult has some issues that need to be resolved, and then they will issue orders."

"Furthermore, since you are human, you will never be allowed to deal with humans. You can even refuse to perform a mission. As long as you explain the reason, the Ancestral God Cult will not force you to do so."

"Of course, I understand your situation. You're often targeted by the Zerg, Demon, and Mechanical tribes. Therefore, the Ancestral God Cult won't issue you any missions until you're strong enough."

"You can join the Ancestral God Cult as the clone of the giant beast. As long as you don't reveal it, the Ancestral God Cult will always keep it a secret."

"I'd like to join."

Yang Wu said without hesitation that it was easier to practice in the public sector, and having the identity of an outer member of the Zushen Sect would save him a lot of trouble.

Moreover, once the Beast God's inheritance is fully accepted above the fifth level, one must join the peripheral organizations of the Ancestral God Religion. Now being personally invited by the Ancestral God to join may not be a bad thing.

"Okay." There was a hint of smile on the fair and kind face of the Two-Faced Ancestral God. A black token appeared out of thin air in his hand and he handed it to Yang Wu.

“This is the order of the ancestral god.”

Yang Wu took the token and felt it was cold to the touch. There were only two words on this black token. The font was composed of countless secret patterns, but one could tell at a glance that it was the word "Ancestral God".

"After imprinting the life mark, you can contact the Ancestral God Cult through this Ancestral God Order. The Ancestral God Cult also issues missions through the Ancestral God Order. As long as you are within the universe, you can contact them through the Ancestral God Order."

The two-faced ancestor god smiled and said, "Of course, this can't be compared to the virtual universe of your human race. The ancestor god order is limited to text communication."

"Understood." Yang Wu then imprinted the mark of life into it.

The two-faced ancestor god smiled and nodded, looking very happy. In his opinion, although Yang Wu's current strength was not strong enough, his potential was still above that of Venerable Zi Yu and the Insect Chaser King.

However, Yang Wu's cultivation path was not focused on the way of the Beast God. It was unknown when he would return to study the path of time and space and would no longer come to Bauhinia Island.

If he is not invited to join in advance, this future peerless strongman may just run away, and the price he has to pay will be greater as time goes by.

"Haha, since you have joined my Ancestral God Religion, there are some benefits."

The Two-Faced Ancestral God looked at Yang Wu and said, "You should have heard that the Insect Chaser King was publicly granted two treasures. You have just obtained the first treasure, so I will not give you anything else."

"This Ancestral God Order grants you the authority to mobilize a portion of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Although you cannot use it to attack, it can be used to defend against assassinations."

Yang Wu's heart beat fast when he heard this. The benefits he got this time were too great. He was not very interested in the gift mentioned by the ancestor god. At best, it was just an ordinary treasure.

One of the top three inheritors of the Ancestral God Religion, King Zhuchong was given two precious treasures by the Ancestral God Religion when he officially joined the Religion.

But Yang Wu is different.

He is first and foremost a member of the Human Alliance, and his first object of loyalty is the Alliance, the human race, and only then is he an outer member of the Zushen Religion. This determines that the Zushen Religion cannot give him too much favor.

The Insect-Chasing King has not joined any other forces and has no other miscellaneous power background. His first object of loyalty is the Ancestral God Religion, so he is treated so preferentially.

Good things will eventually be reserved for one's own people, and only those who are completely loyal to the Ancestral God Cult will receive the best treatment.

This is an extra bonus.

Yang Wu was indeed somewhat surprised. As a newly joined external member, he actually had partial mobilization authority over the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Although it could only be used for defense, it at least showed that the Ancestral God Cult valued him.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore!"

"Next, I will arrange for someone to announce your official joining."

The purpose of the Two-Faced Ancestral God's visit had been achieved, and he decided not to stay any longer. After giving Yang Wu some instructions, he quietly left the courtyard.

"The Protector of the Religion..."

Yang Wu squeezed the Ancestral God Order in his hand, with an inexplicable strange look in his eyes.
