Luo Feng frowned as he whispered to himself, “Right beside me? Double-face Ancestral God?”
Following the ripples of godly power, and considering how the other party had taken the first move to reveal himself, Luo Feng came to realize that the one who sent the voice transmission was Double-Face Ancestral God, who had previously saved him when he was at war with Virtual-Real Devil God. All this while, just to protect Luo Feng, Double-Face Ancestral God had stayed beside him as his neighbor, albeit without him knowing. He had not expected Double-face Ancestral God to reappear before him now.
Shua!
With a single step, Luo Feng teleported right away to the neighboring residence.
******
It was a serene building that carried the diverse characteristics of various races. Behind the high, lofty walls of the courtyard, there was a pond, and within the pond, there were many sculptures of six-armed beings of a race that resembled the human form being erected. There was a total of 11 sculptures, and in the middle of the pond was a flat, smooth rock. On this rock was a set of a wooden table accompanied by two wooden chairs.
The two wooden chairs faced one another. Seated on one of them was the tall and sturdy Double-Face Ancestral God. The two faces of Double-Face Ancestral God were completely different from one another; one was extremely kind and amiable, while the other was simply ferocious and mean. At that time, the one facing Luo Feng was obviously the fair-skinned face that was kind and amiable.
“Have a seat,” Double-Face Ancestral God said with a smile.
Luo Feng appeared in the sky above the pond and started to walk over to the other wooden chair. Then he sat down.
“I have specially prepared these fine foods and fruit wine.” Double-Face Ancestral God was holding a dark green wine bottle in one hand as he introduced the fine spread. “This is ice-fired fruit wine. In the whole primal universe, it can only be found in the Ancestral God secret region. There is only one ice-fired fruit once every 10,000 eras. Every fruit can allow one sector lord to have a 50 percent chance of becoming undying. This bottle of Ice-Fired Fruit Wine is the refined essence of 128,000 ice-fired fruits. Its taste is simply divine.”
Luo Feng laughed in amazement and said, “Ice-fired fruit wine? Who else but the Ancestral God School? I had heard it said that a large number of ice-fired fruits was required to produce ice-fired fruit wine, but I’ve never had the chance to try it.”
Ice-fired fruit could only be bred in a most unique environment. Just eating one fruit would produce an effect similar to receiving the inheritance of a Beast God. The differences were that this inheritance adhered to the water law and fire law instead. Eating one fruit would indeed boost the chances of a sector lord becoming an undying! This fruit was an incomparably precious piece of treasure in the universe. The only pity was that the Ancestral God School monopolized the field for producing it.
There were countless treasures in the Ancestral God secret region, but no external races could ever dream of laying hands on any of them. They were all under the Ancestral God School’s sole dominion. Furthermore, the willpower of the primal universe origin favored the Ancestral God School, so when there were unique treasures appearing—even before the other races caught wind of news—the Ancestral God School would already have learned about them.
Precious, fine wine and delectable cuisine lay spread out before them. Every one of these costs as much as a normal true treasure, but, of course, to the ancestral gods, it was not much. To the three great ancestral gods, Luo Feng was definitely qualified enough for them to go to such great lengths to show their hospitality.
“I’ve enjoyed the food and wine thoroughly,” Luo Feng teased with a smile. “Double-Face Ancestral God, your purpose in summoning me here—it’s time to get down to business. I have been so curious… This is something so important to us humans, but even we do not know about it. Yet Double-Face Ancestral God knows. I really wonder… What is this all about?”
“I just received this piece of news.” Double-face Ancestral God said softly, “And I got to know it from the willpower of the primal universe origin.”
“Willpower of the primal universe origin?”
Luo Feng was taken aback. Just a moment ago, he had still been in a slight daze with some lingering effects of the alcohol yet to wear off. Upon hearing this, his conscious mind, which was kept functioning by his godly power, was jerked into a speedy recovery.
“The willpower of the primal universe origin?” Luo Feng could not hold back his question. “Could it still be able to transmit information?”
The willpower of the primal universe origin, from what Luo Feng understood, was an instinctive willpower naturally formed by universe laws. Its tendency toward kindness or evil was instinctive. Like the strange object. It was instinctively revolting, which was why the Ancestral God School had sent subordinates to deal with it.
“Double-Face Ancestral God, you are saying that the willpower of the primal universe origin told you… something important related to us humans?” Luo Feng found it hard to believe.
Double-Face Ancestral God nodded. “Yes. It shouldn’t be surprising. Perhaps you feel that being able to communicate with the willpower of the primal universe origin is unbelievable, but in fact… as ancestral gods, we are the spokespeople for the willpower of the primal universe origin. And this time around, the news is related to Huge Axe Creator of your human race, who has already been annihilated.”
“Huge Axe?” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed faintly. “What news?”
“Huge Axe’s annihilation was actually because he was ambushed by other great beings within the Universe Ocean,” Double-face Ancestral God said. “Or, to say it more accurately, it was all a conspiracy.”
Immediately, Luo Feng began to bombard Double-Face Ancestral God with questions. “Conspiracy? Who?”
Among the human race, they were aware that the map from Yuan Ao Master had been a fake. Previously, Huge Axe had warned them about it, yet he had not mentioned the names of the conspirators. Maybe Huge Axe had thought that since he was not with the human race, expecting them to take revenge for him was just impractical. The damage would definitely outweigh the benefits, so he probably had not seen the need to mention names.
“A total of three conspirators were behind this ambush,” Double-Face Ancestral God said. “They are all from the first reincarnation era. The first of them is Great Thunder Star Master! The second one is Zhen Jia Emperor! The third one is Dragon Rock Ancestral God!”
Turbulent waves heaved and crashed within Luo Feng’s chest, and his eyes flashed with an uncontrollable desire for murder.
The first reincarnation era! Yes. That first reincarnation era was about to face its doomsday, so almost everyone was behaving like lunatics. What were they not capable of?
Great Thunder Star Master. Zhen Jia Emperor. Dragon Rock Ancestral God.
“The three of them…” Detailed information of these three started to flood Luo Feng’s mind.
Great Thunder Star Master, Zhen Jia Emperor, and Dragon Rock Ancestral God were not considered to be from pinnacle races during the first reincarnation era, but every one of them was still troublesome, frightening opponents.
Great Thunder Star Master belonged to a kind of special life form called the thunderstorm star life form. Back when the first reincarnation era was within the primal universe, thunderstorm stars as big as stars had appeared at the star traveler level. Every one of these thunderstorm stars had a willpower of their own. After countless years, some of these thunderstorm stars started to evolve. So long as they were able to undergo evolution, they could become undying. Then they would continue to become more powerful.
The thunderstorm star race was extremely tyrannical. Although its population was quite small, the race was very strong. Great Thunder Star Master was the supreme master of the entire Thunderstorm Star race.
Zhen Jia Emperor was also a special life form. He was a fire source race life form. Life forms from this race were born within the stars, but, out of a trillion stars, there might not necessarily be one that could breed a member of the fire source race. Every great being of the fire source race would become a sector lord upon reaching adulthood. Then they could refine metals to form bodies of steel, and their origin would evolve into the “eyes of the fire source.” So long as the eyes of the fire source remained ignited, these great beings would not die. Zhen Jia Emperor was the greatest leader of the fire source race. He was the emperor of the entire fire source race!
Dragon Rock Ancestral God was one of the three ancestral gods from the first reincarnation eras. However, back when the primal universe of that era was destroyed, they had all been banished from their homeland. The cohesiveness of the Ancestral God School had been destroyed. Dragon Rock Ancestral God might have been a special life form, but he also had a race under his leadership.
Some special life forms existed within the universe in the hundreds or the thousands. And, of course, the fewer they were in number, the more formidable their talents were. The dragon rock race had an estimated population size of a few thousand. Although they were not formidable, they were still special life forms to begin with, and their most unique characteristics were their massive godly bodies!
“Those three…” Luo Feng frowned.
What a difficult situation. He would have rather faced enmity with the five true masters of the Divine Eye clan than be caught in a scuffle with these three. The power of one alone was not to be underestimated, let alone the three of them combined. If these ancient freaks of nature, who were awaiting their doomsday, really were to combine forces, even Huge Axe Creator might find it hard to fight them.
“It was those three!” Double-Face Ancestral God looked at Luo Feng and asked, “Are you feeling the pressure now?”
“The three of them are all aloof and tyrannical supreme masters from the first reincarnation era,” said Luo Feng. “The supreme masters from my primal universe…” He shook his head. “They would be inferior to them in comparison. Three of them, and all with supreme true treasures. I am eager to kill them, but I must admit that I indeed feel the stress!”
Although he said this out loud, his heart was another matter. Was Luo Feng truly one who would bow his head and concede defeat so easily? In less than 200,000 years, he had matured into adulthood. Together with the inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River, why would he lack confidence whatsoever? Throughout the entire Universe Ocean, he feared no one. For these three who had brought about the annihilation of Huge Axe, Luo Feng would go all out and try every way possible to seek vengeance.
But, before Double-face Ancestral God, Luo Feng still had to put on a show because he was unclear about the actual intention of the willpower of the primal universe origin! Theoretically, this was purely a feud between universe supreme masters, and considering how detached the willpower of the primal universe origin was, by right, it would not be interfering. Yet, this time around, it had chosen to inform the humans through an ancestral god of the Ancestral God School.
To think there was no goa in this action… He would have to be a fool to believe that!
“No supreme masters is to be trifled with, not to mention these three universe supreme masters.” Luo Feng shook his head.
Double-face Ancestral God smiled. “It would be hard for others, but Milky Way Horde Leader, you have the Boat of Mausoleum… and you have charged your way through various dangerous lands. You have multiple bodies, so even if one of them were to be annihilated, it wouldn’t be a big deal. If you are unable to kill them, perhaps you could make use of the dangerous environment of the three most dangerous lands. Use them to your advantage, and also, make use of the uniqueness of your Boat of Mausoleum. Make them fall into a state of desperation or even to the brink of death. Wouldn’t that solve everything?”
“Such an opportunity is hard to come by,” Luo Feng said.
“So long as there is enough time, there will always be opportunities,” said Double-Face Ancestral God.
Luo Feng frowned as he stared at Double-Face Ancestral God, whose kind and amiable face was smiling back at him. Both of them looked into each other’s eyes. Then Luo Feng finally spoke very slowly. “Double-Face Ancestral God, the willpower of the primal universe origin… Why would it go through you to tell us, the human race, about this matter? I am no fool. There must be a reason behind all this. Tell me, what is the goal to be achieved? Or else my heart cannot be at ease!”
Double-Face Ancestral God smiled. “The goal is simple. The noble willpower of the primal universe origin… wants those three dead! Throughout Universe Ocean, you humans are the ones who have a reason for a feud with them. Secondly, other races may face difficulties trying to kill them. Only you, with that inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River, have the greatest hope of achieving this goal. Even if you are unable to achieve it now, when you have become a universe supreme master, you will be able to do it.”
Luo Feng gave small nods. Yes. He had never doubted his own strength and ability, and he was especially confident since he had been comprehending Star Tower for several hundred eras. Perhaps it would not be realistic for him to be able to annihilate a universe supreme master now, but once he had become a supreme master, coupled with the inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River, he could easily realize the goal of becoming more powerful that Teacher Origin had been.
“The willpower of the primal universe origin wants the three of them dead?” Luo Feng mumbled to himself.
At that moment, various thoughts surfaced in his mind. He was starting to grasp a faint understanding of the willpower of the universe origin.
