Ancestral God Bestows Treasures

On this day, Wu Qingfeng, who had just completed his training and was in seclusion, was reminded by a notification sound.

"System message from the world of Glory?"

Wu Qingfeng separated a wisp of his consciousness to connect with the Glory World and quickly received a lot of information.

Some of the emails were from the inheritors of the Hongmeng, but some were from the Glory World system.

"Heart Illusion King, you are the best among the hundreds of millions of inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect. You have proven your strength with your battle record and your potential with your talent... which has attracted the attention of the Ancestral God of our Ancestral God Sect! Recently, the young Ancestral God of our Ancestral God Sect will personally appear on Purple Thorn Island to preside over the bestowal of treasures upon you."

Wu Qingfeng stared at the message in astonishment. He knew that with his talent, he would definitely be courted by the Ancestral God Sect and given treasures, but he did not expect that it would be bestowed by the Ancestral God himself.

It should be noted that generally, public bestowals are made by the Eight Directions Beast Gods, starting with the most precious treasures.

Very few treasures are bestowed by the ancestral gods themselves, so this treasure must be of a very high grade!

Seven days after receiving the email from the Ancestral God Cult.

Above Zijing Island, an invisible yet terrifying pressure descended, causing all the inheritors to tremble. This pressure was so powerful and domineering that it was even more frightening than the guardian beast god of Zijing Island.

This startled the inheritors, who flew out of their palaces one after another.

"It's finally here."

Wu Qingfeng took a deep breath and soared into the air.

...In the sky above Zijing Island, there were hundreds of millions of inheritors, all looking up at the sky.

"They're here!" someone whispered, and the entire room fell silent instantly.

Ripples spread across the void, and a majestic figure covered in purple-gold divine patterns slowly emerged. Chaotic mist swirled around him, and with each step he took, the entire Purple Thorn Island trembled. An invisible pressure swept across the entire area like a tidal wave, causing the tens of millions of inheritors present to bow and kneel in worship, not daring to even breathe loudly.

That was the supreme ruler of the Ancestral God Sect—the Ancestral God! His figure was tens of thousands of feet tall, his face ancient and majestic, his eyes like two chaotic stars, seeing through everything in the world. The aura emanating from his body far surpassed that of ordinary universe lords. The Ancestral God slowly landed on the white jade platform, his gaze sweeping across the entire scene. His voice, like a resounding bell, echoed throughout the heavens and earth, carrying an undeniable majesty: "I am the young Ancestral God of the Ancestral God Sect. Today, I have summoned the inheritors of all races, only to bestow a treasure upon the inheritor whom my Ancestral God Sect is focusing on cultivating—the Human Heart Illusion King."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qingfeng appeared in a flash below the platform, bowed respectfully, and said humbly, "Wu Qingfeng of the human race greets the Ancestral God."

The young Ancestral God looked at Wu Qingfeng, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. He had long since discerned Wu Qingfeng's talent and potential, knowing that if this boy could grow up smoothly, he would surely become the Lord of the Universe in the future, and might even have the potential to challenge for the position of the strongest being in the universe. Such a talent was one that the Ancestral God Sect could not afford to miss.

"Heart Illusion King, you are exceptionally gifted, a rare genius unseen throughout countless eras of the primordial universe. This Purple Soul Pearl is specially prepared for you to help you solidify your soul defense, so that you may contribute to the Ancestral God Sect and the primordial universe in the future." The Ancestral God's voice softened slightly, and he was about to take out the treasure when suddenly, a vague yet incredibly sacred consciousness abruptly appeared in the Ancestral God's sea of ​​consciousness, carrying the most primal and majestic fluctuations of the primordial universe: "Child of Destiny, concerning the future of the primordial universe, the Ancestral God Sect must exert all its efforts to befriend and win you over, and must not neglect you. Raise the level of the treasure bestowed upon you to show your sincerity."

The Ancestral God trembled, an expression of disbelief flashing in his eyes. This was the voice of the primordial universe's will! He had ruled the Ancestral God Sect for countless eras and had felt the guidance of the primordial universe's will several times, but he had never received such a direct instruction, nor had he ever seen the universe's will value a successor so highly.

He instantly understood that Wu Qingfeng's importance far exceeded his imagination. Perhaps this young man truly could hold up a piece of the sky for the primordial universe in the future.

The ancestral god dared not slacken in the slightest, and immediately composed himself, bowing slightly to the void to show his reverence for the will of the primordial universe.

The inheritors and high-ranking members of the Ancestral God Sect present all noticed the Ancestral God's unusual behavior and looked puzzled, but no one dared to say anything.

Only the guardian beast god vaguely guessed what was going on, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes—the only thing that could make the ancestral god lose his composure like this was the supreme primordial cosmic will.

The young Ancestral God raised his hand, and the light in his palm surged. A black tower, made entirely of black jade and engraved with countless soul runes, slowly emerged. Within the black tower, ten thousand soul phantoms were faintly flowing, emanating a chilling aura.

The Ancestral God's voice resounded throughout the entire arena once more, its tone carrying an unprecedented solemnity: "Just now, guided by the will of the primordial universe, the previous treasures were insufficient to demonstrate the sincerity of the Ancestral God Sect. This treasure is named 'Black Soul Tower,' a top-tier, supreme soul treasure capable of ignoring all soul attacks below the strongest being in the universe, and amplifying soul attacks. It is one of the most treasured artifacts of our Ancestral God Sect, and today, I bestow it upon the Heart Illusion King."

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Tens of millions of inheritors were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief. A top-grade, supreme soul treasure! The Ancestral God was actually willing to bestow such a precious treasure upon a World Lord inheritor. Even the core members of the Ancestral God Sect had never received such treatment.

The alien inheritors were pale-faced, their hearts filled with apprehension and helplessness. They had originally planned to assassinate the Heart Illusion King once he left the protection of the Ancestral God Sect, but now that the Ancestral God had personally bestowed upon him a top-tier soul treasure, and he also enjoyed the attention of the Primal Universe Will, attempting to harm Wu Qingfeng in the future would undoubtedly be suicidal. Could this Heart Illusion King be the favored son of the Primal Universe Will?

Wu Qingfeng was also extremely shocked. He did not expect that the original universe will intervene personally, and he did not expect that the Ancestral God would directly bestow upon him a top-level soul treasure.

He quickly bowed again, his tone respectful: "Thank you, Ancestral God, for bestowing this treasure. Thank you, Primordial Universe, for your great will. I will certainly live up to the expectations of the Ancestral God and the favor of the Primordial Universe, and protect the Primordial Universe."

The young Ancestral God nodded slightly, raised his hand, and the Black Soul Tower slowly flew towards Wu Qingfeng. Wu Qingfeng's soul power directly recognized it as its master and absorbed it into his sea of ​​consciousness. Instantly, a warm and powerful soul force swept over his entire body. Wu Qingfeng felt his sea of ​​consciousness was more abundant than ever before, and his soul fluctuations surged. His already formidable soul defense reached a new level, and even the soul attack of a Universe Lord would probably be difficult to shake.

The young Ancestral God held high hopes. He knew that with this top-tier soul treasure, Wu Qingfeng's ability to survive would be greatly enhanced. In the primordial universe, even the strongest could not be enslaved by his soul, and his path to growth would be much smoother.

His gaze fell on Wu Qingfeng again, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes: "King Xin Huan, you should focus on your cultivation on Zijing Island. The Ancestral God Sect is your strongest backing, and no one will dare to lay a hand on you on Zijing Island. If you encounter danger in the future, you can always ask the Ancestral God Sect for help."

"I will keep in mind the teachings of the Ancestral God." Wu Qingfeng bowed in response, feeling very grateful. He knew very well that the protection of the Ancestral God Sect and this top-tier soul treasure would clear many obstacles on his path of growth, and the importance attached to him by the primordial universe's will added a heavy responsibility to him.

The young ancestral god said no more, and with a flicker, disappeared into the void.

After the treasure bestowal ceremony, the young Ancestral God hid in a residence near Wu Qingfeng's home, secretly guarding him. After all, the Primordial Universe Will valued this so much that he had to personally protect him to prevent assassination by the strongest being in the universe.

In the Heritage Square, inheritors from various ethnic groups discussed among themselves, marveling at Wu Qingfeng's extraordinary opportunity and envying his favor with the Ancestral God Sect and the Primal Universe Will.
