#461 - Protector of religion

More than three months later.

Ancestral God Mystic Realm, Five-Colored Aurora Lake area.

The turbulent, colorful, dreamlike lake, composed of countless auroras of five colors, stretches across a vast 10 light-year diameter.

Faintly visible within are islands and palaces.

Today is destined to be a special day for the Ancestral God Sect.

Above the Purple Thorn Island.

Strands of invisible pressure that made all inheritors palpitate descended. These strands of pressure were powerful and overbearing, even more terrifying than the Guardian Beast God, the master of Purple Thorn Island.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Instantly, inheritors flew out from their palaces, forming a dense crowd of hundreds of millions of figures.

All of them looked up at the high altitude.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

These inheritors looked up at the high altitude, their faces filled with shock and astonishment, frantically communicating through voice transmissions.

At this moment, the high altitude was clearly divided into eight major regions.

Some regions bloomed with endless golden light, some regions flowed with endless waves, some regions were filled with endless lightning, and some regions rippled with endless vitality...

These eight major regions completely covered the sky above Purple Thorn Island, obscuring the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

"Silence!"

A gentle voice carrying terrifying pressure came, instantly causing hundreds of millions of inheritors in the air to crash to the ground. Even the inheritors who were Universe Venerables could not resist the pressure and fell.

A huge cyan phantom appeared in mid-air, with two pairs of light blue wings behind it, entwined with endless life aura, yet also emitting a trace of deathly stillness.

This huge and terrifying existence was like a part of the universe's origin laws, impossible to resist, causing all inheritors to submit.

"I am, of the Eight Directional Beast Gods—"

"The Wood Beast God."

The terrifying existence slowly opened its mouth, and its gentle voice instantly spread throughout Purple Thorn Island.

"Our Ancestral God Sect is the number one power in the entire universe. Since the birth of the original universe, the core of our Ancestral God Sect has consisted of three Ancestral Gods, eight Beast Gods, and many Guardian Beast Gods."

"In addition, our Ancestral God Sect's outer organizations currently include five Guardian God Lords: Fengtian God Lord, Jiuyou God Lord, Luocan God Lord, Jinchen God Lord, and Yantong God Lord. Each one is a Universe Master with a resounding reputation in the universe."

The Wood Beast God looked down below: "Today, our Ancestral God Sect will give birth to the sixth Guardian God Lord. You are specially permitted to attend the ceremony."

The hundreds of millions of inheritors below were immediately in an uproar, all revealing expressions of shock and longing.

"The sixth Guardian God Lord!"

"No wonder there is such a big commotion. This is the Wood Beast God. Doesn't that mean that all eight Beast Gods of the Ancestral God Sect are gathered here? Apart from the Guardian God Lords, no other existence is qualified."

"Each Guardian God Lord of the Ancestral God Sect possesses extremely powerful abilities. Fengtian God Lord, Jiuyou God Lord... which one hasn't killed a Universe Master before, becoming a super powerhouse?"

"Yes, even the great existences of my race are afraid to provoke these Guardian God Lords. Which existence will this sixth Guardian God Lord be?"

These inheritors couldn't help but secretly communicate with each other, all of them extremely excited. This was definitely the most shocking news in the universe.

As expected of the number one power in the universe, the Ancestral God Sect's foundation is truly too astonishing.

Adding a Guardian God Lord so quickly, directly adding a powerful Universe Master.

Gradually—

The Ancestral God Sect's seventy-two God Generals and three thousand God Envoys were all in place. Very few actually remained in the core area of the Ancestral God Sect.

The vast majority of them were scattered throughout the vast universe.

Today, they gathered for this event.

Including the Guardian God Lords and Universe Masters of those outer organizations, they were also invited to attend the ceremony. This was a necessary procedure for taking office as a Guardian God Lord, and also a demonstration of respect for the new Guardian God Lord.

In the depths of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, within a towering and immense palace radiating endless power, majestic figures sat upon thrones, their bodies exuding terrifying pressure.

"Jiuyou, I heard that this new Guardian God Lord has some private connections?"

On a throne, a majestic rock giant wearing black-red armor looked at the figure beside him and asked.

He had eight dark red rock arms, and strands of scorching liquid flowed on his body surface, with gray smoke clouds spewing from his nostrils.

"Where did you hear that? Although it is indeed the case."

The Jiuyou God Lord, wearing a gorgeous black robe, spoke. His fair and pale face had black secret纹s, and his body exuded an eerie charm, a kind of supreme freedom that looked down upon the universe.

Fengtian God Lord!

Jiuyou God Lord!

Among the Ancestral God Sect's existing five Guardian God Lords, these two had the greatest reputations.

One joined at the very beginning of the Ancestral God Sect's existence, belonging to the elders among elders, and possessed a clone talent, making him extremely good at preserving his life.

The other, Jiuyou God Lord, was extremely difficult to deal with, possessing a divine power ocean with a diameter of more than ten light-years. Such an outrageous divine body was something even the strongest in the universe could do nothing about.

However, his divine power ocean was difficult to move, and his clones that traveled the universe were very limited, making him slightly inferior to other Tier 5 peak Universe Masters, but his ability to preserve his life was heaven-defying.

"Jiuyou always makes the fastest moves. Like that human race's Saber River King Luo Feng, he was snatched away first."

A gentle voice sounded. On the throne was a faint spherical phantom, one of the Ancestral God Sect's Guardian God Lords, "Jinchen God Lord."

No one had ever seen its true form, or rather, very, very few people had seen its true form.

Legend has it.

Jinchen God Lord's true form was an initial star. As the name suggests, an initial star was the first star derived from the universe at the beginning of the original universe's birth.

Completely different from the billions of stars in the vast starry sky, an initial star could directly connect to the universe's origin law ocean, continuously drawing divine power directly from the origin law ocean.

In battle.

It was almost always at its peak state, maintaining the highest combat power output for a long time.

However, the more heaven-defying a life is, the stronger the restrictions for breaking through. Jinchen God Lord had broken through to Universe Master countless years ago, even more ancient than the human race's Primal Ancestor.

But now it was still trapped at the Tier 5 peak Universe Master level, and the realm above, the strongest in the universe, was still out of reach.

"Haha, it seems our new Guardian God Lord is very likable." Fengtian God Lord laughed, then looked into the distance.

"Haha, here it comes."

They all turned their heads to look.

Outside the towering palace, the boundless Five-Colored Aurora Lake seemed to have its heavenly lake split open. A purple palace exuding endless thunderbolts crashed through space and floated in the void, its vast aura permeating the air.

A divine body 90,000 kilometers tall, under the expectant gazes of the inheritors and many God Generals and God Envoys in the Ancestral God Sect, slowly walked out from the palace.
