The Ancestral God Sect was originally the number one among the nine peak forces in the Primordial Universe.
After all, the other peak forces only possessed one or at most two Universe Supreme-level combatants.
But the Ancestral God Sect was equivalent to having three Universe Supreme-level combat forces within the Primordial Universe.
Moreover, it also had many Lords of the Universe.
Apart from the Lords of the Universe, it also possessed a very large number of top-tier Universe Overlords and ordinary Universe Overlords.
Because of this, the Ancestral God Sect was fully justified in being ranked as the number one force in the Primordial Universe.
Of course, aside from these reasons, another important factor was that the Ancestral God Sect always maintained neutrality.
After all, the Ancestral God Sect was essentially similar to an academy. Talents from any faction could enter the Ancestral God Sect to obtain inheritance of the Beast God Path, as long as they possessed a Beast God Inheritance Token.
Moreover, as long as they did nothing that harmed the Primordial Universe, the Ancestral God Sect would not casually intervene.
Because of this, very few factions would take the initiative to offend the Ancestral God Sect.
This was also why the Insect Empress, the Mechanical Race Father God, and the Dream Demon Ancestor did not personally come to kill Luo Fan.
It was because they all had their own factions, and they still wanted to send some talented individuals who cultivated the Beast God Path into the Ancestral God Sect.
That was why each of them took out three supreme treasures and invited a lone Universe Supreme to enter the Ancestral God Sect to assassinate Luo Fan.
Unfortunately, it failed.
Not only that, it even further enhanced the reputation of the Ancestral God Sect.
Many lone special lifeforms and powerful experts now had thoughts of joining the Ancestral God Sect.
If one was going to join a faction, they would naturally choose a stronger one that could benefit them.
Otherwise, joining a faction only to serve under others without gaining any benefits, who would be willing to do that?
At present, what people valued most about joining the Ancestral God Sect was its level of safety.
For a time, within the Primordial Universe, the price of Beast God Inheritance Tokens rose significantly.
The prices of inheritance slots for Divine Envoys and Divine Generals also increased accordingly.
After all, aside from special lifeforms and certain powerful experts, there were only a few ways to join the Ancestral God Sect.
The first was to obtain a Beast God Inheritance Token.
This went without saying. After obtaining a Beast God Inheritance Token, one could enter Purple Thorn Island.
As long as they did not die, they could remain on Purple Thorn Island indefinitely.
Even if they did not cultivate the Beast God Path, they could still rely on the manifested laws of Purple Thorn Island to comprehend the laws of time and space.
The second way was to obtain the Divine General inheritance.
As long as one reached a certain level within the Divine General inheritance, they could join the Ancestral God Sect as a candidate Divine General.
The third way was the Divine Envoy inheritance.
It was similar to the Divine General inheritance.
However, the Divine Envoy inheritance required obtaining the complete inheritance before one could join the Ancestral God Sect as a candidate Divine Envoy.
Aside from these methods, there were no other good options.
…
While all factions in the Primordial Universe were discussing the incident of the Void True Demon God forcibly trespassing into the Ancestral God Sect, some people were not in a good mood.
Those people were the Mechanical Race Father God, the Insect Empress, and the Dream Demon Ancestor.
Unlike the other factions, which still did not know the primary purpose behind the Void True Demon God's intrusion into the Ancestral God Sect.
After all, although the Void True Demon God immediately attempted to impose soul enslavement on Luo Fan when he made his move, at that time Purple Thorn Island was still surrounded by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.
As a result, no one saw that scene.
This meant that aside from Luo Fan and the Dual-Faced Ancestral God, the two people who personally experienced the incident, only the Insect Empress, the Mechanical Race Father God, and the Dream Demon Ancestor knew the Void True Demon God's true objective.
It was precisely because they knew his purpose that the three of them felt this way.
If it were merely the Void True Demon God being suppressed, it would not be a major issue for them.
At most, they would only lose three top-tier supreme treasures.
For the three major races and the three Universe Supremes behind them, this was nothing significant.
However, what truly made them uneasy was what this incident represented behind the scenes.
Some powerful experts in the universe speculated that the Void True Demon God was suppressed by the will of the Primordial Universe because he trespassed into the Ancestral God Sect.
But they all felt puzzled by this explanation.
Logically speaking, such a reason should not have been enough to prompt the Primordial Universe itself to intervene.
Not just in this cycle of reincarnation, but even in previous cycles, there had been cases where Universe Supremes broke into the Ancestral God Sect to assassinate geniuses.
These were also lone Universe Supremes entrusted by other Universe Supremes who possessed their own races.
Such incidents were not unheard of.
Moreover, some of them had even succeeded.
After carrying out the assassination, although they were lightly punished for killing weaker beings within the Primordial Universe, those lone Universe Supremes ultimately still managed to leave the Ancestral God Sect.
And the price they paid was not particularly heavy.
As for fighting the Ancestral Gods, that had happened even more frequently.
Yet those lone Universe Supremes who did such things ultimately suffered no serious consequences.
At most, the Ancestral God Sect would issue a half-hearted wanted order.
What faction would take a wanted order against a lone Universe Supreme seriously?
Therefore, this was precisely what puzzled those powerful experts in the Primordial Universe who knew about this matter.
If not for the fact that there was no other suitable explanation besides the Void True Demon God trespassing into the Ancestral God Sect and attacking the Dual-Faced Ancestral God before being suppressed, they would not have believed it.
But the Insect Empress, the Mechanical Race Father God, and the Dream Demon Ancestor knew the true purpose behind the Void True Demon God's intrusion into the Ancestral God Sect.
Because of this, they had other speculations regarding the Primordial Universe's intervention this time.
At this moment, in an uninhabited stretch of void within the Primordial Universe, the three gathered together once again.
However, the three of them had already been here for some time, yet no one spoke.
They simply remained in silence.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time had passed, the Dream Demon Ancestor was the first to speak.
"The reason the Void True Demon God was personally suppressed by the will of the Primordial Universe this time, was it really just because he trespassed into the Ancestral God Sect and attacked the Dual-Faced Ancestral God?"
At this moment, the Dream Demon Ancestor's voice carried a trace of confusion.
The Insect Empress did not answer. Instead, she looked at the Mechanical Race Father God and asked,
"The lone Universe Supreme you hired, was it the Void True Demon God?"
Hearing this, the Mechanical Race Father God did not hesitate and directly replied,
"Yes. I have some ties with the Void True Demon God."
"He previously owed me a favor."
"I used that favor, along with nine top-tier supreme treasures, to ask him to go to the Ancestral God Sect and assassinate the Annihilation Overlord."
At this moment, the Mechanical Race Father God concealed nothing and even explained how he managed to persuade the Void True Demon God to take action using nine top-tier supreme treasures.
After hearing the Mechanical Race Father God's confirmation, the scene fell silent once again.
A trace of shock flashed through the Dream Demon Ancestor's eyes.
Because he had also thought of another possibility for why the Void True Demon God was personally suppressed by the will of the Primordial Universe.
Although this possibility was extremely small.
But…
If things were truly as the Dream Demon Ancestor suspected,
Then he would not dare to take any further action against the Annihilation Overlord.
"Empress, do you have complete information on the Annihilation Overlord?"
The Dream Demon Ancestor looked at the Insect Empress and asked.
The Human Race, Demon Race, Mechanical Race, and Insect Race all planted spies within one another.
This was completely normal.
However, the Mechanical Race had relatively fewer spies in other races.
At the same time, there were almost no spies within the Mechanical Race itself.
After all, the Mechanical Race had no souls and could not impose soul enslavement on other beings with souls.
And most spies were placed through soul enslavement.
Although the Mechanical Race could not enslave souls and its members were bound by layers of ownership recognition, resulting in almost no internal spies,
It also had very few spies within other races.
The Insect Empress, on the other hand, was the most proficient at soul enslavement.
As a result, the Insect Race had planted many spies within the Human Race and the Demon Race.
Among the three races, the Insect Race had the most comprehensive understanding of internal Human Race information.
That was why the Dream Demon Ancestor asked the Insect Empress about the Annihilation Overlord's information.
The Insect Empress did not conceal anything and said with a somewhat strange expression,
"Our race has not gathered much information regarding the Annihilation Overlord."
"The Annihilation Overlord first appeared in the universe on the Extraterritorial Battlefield."
"At that time, he only displayed Marquis-level strength. Of course, our race suspects that he was concealing his true power."
"Displaying Marquis-level strength was likely just to casually join a squad, quickly accumulate military merit, leave the squad, and become a lone operator."
The three races were familiar with the rules governing Human Race geniuses and experts training on the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
That was why the Insect Empress made this inference.
"After that, the Annihilation Overlord also quickly accumulated military merit and left the squad."
"And during that process, he also displayed King-level strength. On this point, Meng Cha, you should know."
Hearing this, the Dream Demon Ancestor also spoke.
"Yes. I have already resurrected the few Immortals that the Annihilation Overlord killed back then."
"Based on the information from their testimonies, the Annihilation Overlord already possessed at least peak King-level strength at that time."
Luo Fan had originally accumulated enough military merit precisely because he killed several Demon Race Immortals.
After all, the Demon-Hunting Squad he joined at the time primarily hunted Demon Race experts.
Later, some Demon Race Kings came to seek revenge. After Luo Fan killed them all, he left the squad.
Because all those individuals were killed, not much information about Luo Fan spread outward.
However, because the three races had recently been pressuring the Human Race,
Some dead Kings and Venerables were also resurrected during this period.
That was why the Dream Demon Ancestor was able to obtain this information.
When these fallen experts were resurrected, they were routinely asked about the cause of their deaths.
If they had been killed, they would also be asked who the killer was.
