The Conspirators

Luo Feng frowned slightly, muttering to himself, "Next door to me? Twin-Faced Ancestor God?"

Following the divine power fluctuations and the other party's deliberate exposure, Luo Feng naturally realized that the one transmitting the message was none other than the Twin-Faced Ancestor God, who had once saved him and fought against the Void True Demon God. To protect Luo Feng back then, the Twin-Faced Ancestor God had secluded himself in the residence next door. He hadn't expected the Twin-Faced Ancestor God to reappear there now.

Whoosh!

With a single step, Luo Feng instantly teleported from his own residence to the adjacent one.

...

This was a tranquil, alien-style building. Within its tall courtyard walls lay a pond, and in the pond stood eleven statues of six-armed humanoid aliens. In the center of the entire pond was a flat rock, upon which sat an exquisite wooden table and two wooden chairs.

The two wooden chairs faced each other, and on one sat the tall and robust Twin-Faced Ancestor God. His benevolent face and ferocious face were entirely distinct, and the one facing Luo Feng was clearly the benevolent face, with its fair skin and kind expression.

"Sit," the Twin-Faced Ancestor God said with a slight smile.

Luo Feng appeared above the pond, then walked through the air directly to the other wooden chair and sat down.

"This is a gourmet fruit wine I specially prepared," the Twin-Faced Ancestor God said, one hand holding a dark green wine bottle. "This is Icefire Fruit Wine. In the entire Original Universe, only one Icefire Fruit is born every 10,000 eras in my Ancestral God Secret Realm. Each fruit can give a Sector Lord a 50% chance of becoming Undying. This bottle of Icefire Fruit Wine is the essence refined from 128,000 Icefire Fruits. Its taste is absolutely exquisite."

Luo Feng exclaimed with a smile, "Icefire Fruit Wine? The Ancestral God Sect truly lives up to its name. I've heard of Icefire Fruit Wine, which requires a massive amount of Icefire Fruits to refine, but I've never tasted it."

Icefire Fruits can only be nurtured in peculiar environments.

Eating one has an effect similar to receiving a Beast God inheritance, though it specifically transmits parts of the Water Law and Fire Law. Indeed, consuming one gives a Sector Lord a very high probability of becoming Undying! It is undoubtedly one of the most precious treasures in the universe, unfortunately monopolized by the Ancestral God Sect.

The Ancestral God Secret Realm contains countless treasures, but outsiders can only dream of them, as they are all exclusively claimed by the Ancestral God Sect. Because it is favored by the Original Universe's Will, even some special treasures unknown to other races are likely known to the Ancestral God Sect.

Rare wines and exquisite delicacies.

Each item was worth no less than an ordinary True Treasure. Of course, for an Ancestor God, this was nothing. And in the eyes of the three Ancestor Gods, Luo Feng was worthy of such hospitality.

"I've eaten and I've drunk," Luo Feng said with a teasing smile. "Twin-Faced Ancestor God, it's time you told me why you summoned me. I've been very curious... a crucial matter concerning humanity, which we humans don't know, but the Twin-Faced Ancestor God does. I truly wonder what it could be."

"I just learned this news," the Twin-Faced Ancestor God said softly. "And it came from the Original Universe's Will."

"The Original Universe's Will?"

Luo Feng was startled.

The slight haziness from the wine he had enjoyed earlier, which he hadn't dispelled, quickly vanished as his divine power and consciousness jolted.

"The Original Universe's Will?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "Can it really transmit messages?"

In Luo Feng's view, the Original Universe's Will was merely an instinctive will formed by the natural operation of the Original Universe's laws. Even its likes and dislikes were instinctive. For example, it instinctively disliked 'peculiar objects' and thus dispatched the Ancestral God Sect to deal with them.

"Twin-Faced Ancestor God, are you saying the Original Universe's Will told you... about an important matter concerning humanity?" Luo Feng found it hard to believe.

"Yes, don't be surprised. Perhaps you find communicating with the Original Universe's Will incredible, but in reality, as Ancestor Gods, we are the spokespersons for the Original Universe's Will," the Twin-Faced Ancestor God nodded. "And this message concerns the deceased Axe of the Human Race."

"Axe?" Luo Feng's eyes gleamed. "What news?"

"Axe's demise was actually due to a secret plot by a Cosmic Ultimate Expert from the Universe Ocean. To be precise, it was a conspiracy," the Twin-Faced Ancestor God said.

Luo Feng immediately pressed, "A conspiracy? Who?"

The Human Race had long known that the map from Yuan Ao Master was fake back then. Axe had already told them, but he hadn't revealed the name of the conspirator. Perhaps Axe believed that since he was no longer with the Human Race, seeking revenge would be unrealistic and only harmful, not beneficial, which is why he never spoke of it.

"There are three conspirators behind this plot," the Twin-Faced Ancestor God revealed. "All are from the First Reincarnation Era. The first is Hao Lei Star Lord! The second is Zhen Jia King! And the third is Qiuyan Ancestor God!"

A monstrous wave surged in Luo Feng's heart, and an uncontrollable killing intent flashed in his eyes.

First Reincarnation Era!

That's right.

The First Reincarnation Era was nearing its end; almost all of them were madmen. What wouldn't they do? Hao Lei Star Lord? Zhen Jia King? Qiuyan Ancestor God?

"Those three..." Luo Feng's mind instantly brought up detailed information about them.

Hao Lei Star Lord, Zhen Jia King, and Qiuyan Ancestor God were not considered peak races in the First Reincarnation Era, but each of them was formidable and terrifying.

Hao Lei Star Lord was a peculiar lifeform, a 'Thunderstorm Star lifeform.' Back when the First Reincarnation Era was in its Original Universe phase, there were such thunderstorm stars, planet-sized. Each thunderstorm star possessed its own will, and over long periods, some would evolve. Once evolved, they could become Undying and continuously grow stronger.

The Thunderstorm Star race was an incredibly powerful race. Though few in number, they were mighty. And 'Hao Lei Star Lord' was the strongest, and only strongest, individual of the entire Thunderstorm Star race.

Zhen Jia King was also a peculiar lifeform, a 'Fire Source Race lifeform.' They were born within stars, yet out of billions of stars, not even one might nurture a 'Fire Source Race' member. Every Fire Source Race expert, upon reaching adulthood, became a Sector Lord. They could refine metal to form bodies of steel, and their essence would transform into 'Fire Source Eyes.' As long as their Fire Source Eyes remained, they would not die. Zhen Jia King was the greatest leader of the Fire Source Race, the King of the Fire Source Race!

Qiuyan Ancestor God was one of the three Ancestor Gods from the First Reincarnation Era. However, after that Original Universe was destroyed and they were expelled, the cohesion of the Ancestral God Sect waned. Qiuyan Ancestor God was a Special Lifeform, but it also had similar kin.

Some Special Lifeforms would have hundreds or thousands of their kind born throughout the universe. Naturally, the rarer the number, the more heaven-defying the talent of the Special Lifeform. The Qiuyan race, estimated to number in the thousands, might not be as heaven-defying as some other Special Lifeforms, but they were Special Lifeforms nonetheless. Their most unique characteristic was one thing: an enormous Divine Body!

"It's those three..." Luo Feng frowned.

Troublesome.

Luo Feng would rather face the five True Masters of the God-Eye Clan than get entangled with these three. Each of them was difficult to deal with alone, let alone all three combined. Such ancient monsters, nearing their end, when united, even Axe of the Human Race might have struggled to defeat them.

"It is those three!" the Twin-Faced Ancestor God stared at Luo Feng. "Feeling the pressure?"

"In the First Reincarnation Era, all three of them were solitary, formidable Cosmic Ultimate Experts. Our Original Universe's Cosmic Ultimate Experts..." Luo Feng shook his head. "They probably fall short compared to them, and there are three of them, each possessing a True Treasure. Although I really want to kill them, I do feel the pressure!"

He said this aloud.

But deep down, was Luo Feng someone who would easily bow his head and admit defeat? Having grown to his current level in less than 200,000 years, coupled with the Duan Dong River lineage, how immense was his confidence? Looking across the entire Universe Ocean, there was no one who made him feel fear. These three caused Axe's demise, and Luo Feng would naturally do everything in his power to find a way to avenge Axe.

However, in front of the Twin-Faced Ancestor God, he still had to put on an act.

Because Luo Feng couldn't figure out the true purpose of the 'Original Universe's Will'! Logically, this was purely a grudge between Cosmic Ultimate Experts. Given the transcendent nature of the Original Universe's Will, it shouldn't interfere. Yet, this time, it was using the Ancestor God of the Ancestral God Sect to inform humanity.

Only a fool would believe there was no ulterior motive!

"Cosmic Ultimate Experts, each one is difficult to provoke, let alone these three," Luo Feng shook his head.

The Twin-Faced Ancestor God smiled, "It's hard for others, but Galaxy Lord, you have the Tombstone Boat... you dare to venture into many dangerous places. And you have a Clone, so even if one Clone falls, it's a minor matter. Perhaps you can't kill them yourself, but you can certainly use the perilous environments of the three great perilous lands, and the special nature of the Tombstone Boat, to trap them in desperate or deadly situations, wouldn't that work?"

"Such opportunities are hard to find," Luo Feng said.

"Given enough time, opportunities will always arise," the Twin-Faced Ancestor God replied.

Luo Feng frowned, staring at the Twin-Faced Ancestor God, whose benevolent face met Luo Feng's gaze with a smile. After a moment of silent eye contact, Luo Feng slowly said, "Twin-Faced Ancestor God, why would the Original Universe's Will... tell humanity about this through you? I'm not a fool; there must be a purpose behind this. Tell me the purpose, otherwise, my heart will not be at ease!"

The Twin-Faced Ancestor God chuckled.

"The purpose is simple: the great Original Universe's Will... wants those three dead!" the Twin-Faced Ancestor God stated. "And looking across the Universe Ocean, you humans have a grudge against them. Secondly, it's difficult for other races to kill them. Only you, who have inherited the Duan Dong River lineage, have the greatest hope. Even if you can't do it now, you will be able to once you become a Cosmic Ultimate Expert."

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

Yes.

He had never doubted his own strength, especially after comprehending the Star Tower for hundreds of eras, his confidence was even greater. Killing a Cosmic Ultimate Expert now might not be realistic, but once he became a Cosmic Ultimate Expert, combined with the Duan Dong River lineage, surpassing the Original Ancestor's power would be easily achievable.

"The Original Universe's Will wants those three dead?" Luo Feng murmured softly, numerous thoughts flashing through his mind. He was beginning to vaguely understand the Original Universe's Will.
