The 'bold idea' in the Chaos City Lord's mind vanished in an instant, and he shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.
“That’s right. He’s only a realm lord right now, so this is the best opportunity to win him over.”
"The Shadow Lord said in a low voice."
He is the cosmic overlord who controls both the Virtual Universe Company and the Hongmeng intelligence hub.
He dared not let anyone else handle intelligence of this caliber, and immediately presented it to the city lord himself.
Huang Tian's record is too terrifying.
This matter concerns the future of our community!
"The normal recruitment process will suffice."
A faint smile appeared on the face of the Chaos City Lord.
"Normal procedure?"
The Shadow Monarch frowned slightly. "Lord, you are wise. The one guarding Huang Tian is a Venerable! The strength of their race is still unknown. How could the top powers like the Insect Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Mechanical Clan stand idly by? The price they offered is so high that even the strongest being in the universe might not be able to guarantee it! The Ancestral God Sect is even closer and will definitely devote all its efforts to cultivating him! My authority... I'm afraid I don't have enough leverage to sway the mind of such a being."
As a powerful and domineering figure, there are very few situations where he feels unworthy of such a position.
However, the Shadow Monarch had no confidence whatsoever in trying to win over Huang Tian.
"You go ahead and make the arrangements. If you need me to intervene, just let me know."
The Lord of Chaos smiled.
"Subordinates take orders!"
The Shadow Lord bowed and took his leave.
Once his figure disappeared, the Lord of Chaos City could no longer suppress the smile on his face.
For Lin Hao's safety and the smooth implementation of the next fishing plan, all of Lin Hao's current movements are top secret at the highest levels of humanity, known only to him and the founder of the Giant Axe.
Lin Hao's ingenious method of infiltrating the Ancestral God Cult as a "special life form" was simply brilliant!
If he had caused such a commotion as a human... Lin Hao would never have been able to remain so composed today.
The Lord of Chaos City opened Huang Tian's intelligence information again.
"The path to perfect genes... Don't let my disciple down with the special life bloodlines in this treasure trove of the Ancestral Mystic Realm..."
……
At almost the same moment, the central hubs of various forces in the universe were detonated by the same bombshell!
"Huang Tian, a special life form?!"
"First there was Lin Hao of the human race, and now this 'Huang Tian' has emerged from the Ancestral Mystic Realm. Both of them possessed incredible talents even during their Realm Lord era. Interesting..."
Barabara...
In the core cosmic secret realm of the demon race, a low roar echoed within the ancient and eerie hall.
Deep within the Zerg hive, a mysterious and powerful will rippled.
In the immortal realm of the Machine Race, the cold torrent of data instantly broke through the critical threshold.
In the desolate starfield where colossal celestial beasts dwell, ancient roars echo and shake the cosmos.
The Northern Frontier Alliance Parliament Temple was filled with gasps and whispers...
All the top cosmic powers that received the intelligence were horrified and deeply moved!
Without hesitation, a series of top orders were issued: "At all costs! Mobilize all forces within the Ancestral God Sect! Make contact with 'Yellow Heaven'!"
"Use the highest-level resources! We must win them over!"
"Investigate! We must dig three feet into the ground to find out the whole story!"
On Zijing Island, a sudden storm is brewing.
Several streaks of light, each carrying immense pressure, rushed toward the manor where "Huang Tian" resided, almost simultaneously.
However, the sign advertising a high-priced acquisition and the contact number for Glory World still remain at the entrance of the manor.
The envoys from the six top races, the Star Alliance, and the Northern Frontier Alliance all shared an unprecedented goal—to capture people!
However, just as they were about to reach the manor gate, a sudden change occurred!
boom!
A majestic, awe-inspiring, and ancient aura, imbued with the test of time, enveloped the entire area!
The void seemed to freeze.
A tall and imposing figure, clad in blood-red armor, descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of the manor built by "Huang Tian".
He is none other than the Bloodfire God General, the giant who represents the will of the Beast God and governs the daily affairs of the religion!
Bloodfire General's gaze was sharp as he swept his lightly over the various envoys who were frozen in mid-air with drastically changed expressions. Then, he took a step forward and his figure disappeared behind the manor gate that opened in an instant.
Boom!
The heavy door slowly closed, shutting out all the prying, the urgency, the resentment...
"Blood... Bloodfire God General?! He actually descended in person?"
The female venerable one from the Zerg could hardly hide her shock. "Even the Insect King, who was so amazing back then, was never personally recruited by him!"
Without hesitation, she immediately transmitted the shocking scene before her back to the core of the mother nest.
"We're in big trouble..."
A demon lord with six wings on his back and fur like molten gold, who had just arrived, stopped at a distance, his golden pupils filled with solemnity.
The fact that the Bloodfire God General himself appeared meant that the true giant behind the Ancestral God Sect—the Beast God—had his sights firmly set on this manor!
Almost simultaneously, several powerful figures from different factions quietly appeared around the palace, each occupying a portion of the void. Sparks flew as their eyes met.
Without needing to say a word, they both understood why the other had come.
……
Inside the quiet palace, Lin Hao, appearing as a member of the "Huangtian Clan," sat in the main seat, his eyes calmly fixed on Bloodfire God General, the powerful figure of the Ancestral God Sect.
Without any pleasantries or small talk, he went straight to the point: "Join the Ancestral God Cult? What benefits could I possibly gain?"
"Hahahahaha!"
Instead of being angry, the Bloodfire God laughed heartily, his boisterous laughter causing the decorative flames inside the hall to flicker slightly.
"Benefits? Little guy, you underestimate my Ancestral God Sect!"
He leaned forward slightly, his powerful aura emanating from him, his words filled with unparalleled confidence, "My Ancestral God Sect is undoubtedly the number one power in the primordial universe! Our experts are as numerous as clouds, our foundation unfathomable! We are even favored by the will of the universe's origin! What do you want? A special life gene sample? Personal guidance from a universe lord or even a stronger being? A priceless treasure? A secret technique passed down only to us?"
He waved his hand and said, "As long as your request is within the rules, my Ancestral God Sect can fulfill it!"
"To be honest,"
The Bloodfire God's voice deepened slightly, carrying an undeniable weight, "Lord Thunder Beast God, I have already noticed your presence. This is the reason I have come here in person today!"
He paused, his eyes gleaming even brighter: "As long as you agree to join, these troubles will be no problem!"
Seeing Lin Hao's unwavering expression, the Bloodfire General's smile faded slightly. "I know that right now, outside the island, there are probably many envoys from various races. Insectoids, demons, humans, machines... all want to bring you under their control. But, are you aware of the dangers involved?"
He tapped the stone block lightly, making a dull sound. "For example, if you join the human race, you will inevitably invite endless assassination attempts from your sworn enemies such as the insectoid race and the demon race! The opposite is also true! If you join the demon race, the fangs and claws of the human and insectoid races will not let you go! This is what is meant by 'one wrong step, and you will be surrounded by enemies on all sides'!"
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Hao remained calm, as if he were talking about something trivial. "I don't care about being targeted by those tribes."
The calm and unwavering aura emanating from him caused even the Bloodfire God General to feel a slight chill – this boy indeed had the right to be arrogant!
"Although we still don't know the true nature of your race, it's unlikely that the cosmic venerable one beside you can protect you."
Bloodfire God waved his hand, his tone sincere yet tinged with solemnity, "You were able to intimidate King Barking Mirror today, but you may face an even stronger being in the future! Behind those peak races... stands the strongest being in the universe!"
He stared intently at Lin Hao: "This is not a threat, but words from the bottom of my heart. For your own long-term benefit, joining my Ancestral God Cult is the best choice! This place is a sacred ground for special life forms! There are countless non-human beings and those with extraordinary talents within our cult! As long as you nod,"
The Bloodfire God General's voice was full of temptation, "Let the Insect King provide some of his primordial essence blood or tissue samples for research... The Ancestral God Sect can also mediate on your behalf!"
“I understand the various benefits of joining the Ancestral God Cult.”
Lin Hao nodded slightly, but a hint of contemplation remained between his brows. "However... my path may not be entirely the same as the path of merging with the Beast God. As for inheriting the position of a revered deity..."
He shook his head slightly, "I have no intention of being bound by this."
"Hahaha!"
Bloodfire God General laughed heartily again, his eyes filled with even greater admiration. "Your concerns are insignificant under my rules!"
He straightened his body and said in a loud voice, "The Ancestral God Sect system is divided into two branches: the core and the outer branch! The former is the core inheritance, namely the three Ancestral Gods, the eight Beast Gods, the seventy-two Divine Generals, and the three thousand Divine Envoys, each with their own duties. If you have no interest in the Great Dao of the Beast Gods, that's fine!"
"The core strength of my religion is actually on the periphery of the 'protection of the religion'! The periphery is divided into protectors of the religion, protectors of the religion, protectors of the religion, and protectors of the religion! My Ancestral God Religion has more than a dozen protectors of the religion at the level of the Lord of the Universe, and they are all members of the periphery."
The Bloodfire God General's voice was fervent, "As long as you are willing to join the Ancestral God Sect and become a 'Guardian Envoy'! As your strength improves and you break through to the Immortal, Venerable, or even higher realms, your status will naturally rise accordingly!"
He paused, then emphasized, "More importantly—freedom! Outer members are not bound by any mandatory restrictions on a daily basis. They will only receive orders when the Ancestral God Sect has an important need. And if you have a genuine reason for not wanting to carry it out, you only need to state the facts, and the sect will never force you!"
Bloodfire God General looked at Lin Hao with sincere eyes.
A faint smile finally appeared on Lin Hao's lips: "If it's really that free... then I'm willing to join."
This step was a crucial part of his plan!
His status as an outer member of the Ancestral God Cult undoubtedly paved an invisible path for him to explore more top-tier special life genes.
Those powerful individuals, like the Insect King, who had many concerns, had an opportunity to make contact and negotiate after joining the Ancestral God Cult.
"good!"
The Bloodfire God General smiled sincerely. "Welcome to the Ancestral God Cult! Becoming a Protector of the Cult is merely the beginning of your glorious journey! From now on, you can choose to serve under a 'Protector God Lord.' Rest assured,"
A mischievous glint flashed in his eyes. "With the strength and potential you've demonstrated, you're sure to attract the attention of all the gods! At that time, the benefits will only increase, not decrease!"
"Can one choose their own god?"
A glint flashed in Lin Hao's eyes. "That's good. I'm not sure which guardian deity I should join. Could we wait until I know them better before making a choice?"
"Small thing!"
Bloodfire God waved his hand dismissively, "Whenever you've made up your mind, just let me know."
Lin Hao nodded.
