Swallowed Star: Copy God

After personally testing it, Ye Yun no longer had any concerns and passed through layers of colorful aurora, plunging into the Colorful Aurora Lake.

Those who enter the Ancestral God Religion to receive the Beast God inheritance will enter the Colorful Aurora Lake. This is both to protect the Beast God inheritors within and to limit all powerhouses. After all, the Beast God inheritance is still mainly about comprehension, and the Ancestral God Religion does not want too many disputes to arise.

Flying in the Colorful Aurora Lake, shuttling through layers of aurora, feels like advancing in a real lake. There is no discomfort, and instead, one feels much more relaxed.

Before long, Ye Yun saw a blurry island silhouette appear in front of him. As Ye Yun approached, the island gradually grew larger in Ye Yun's eyes, eventually fully appearing before him.

This island, located in the outer area of the Colorful Aurora Lake, is where all Beast God inheritors cultivate and live—Purple Thorn Island.

Purple Thorn Island is a huge island with a diameter of millions of kilometers. Its land is covered with mountains and densely packed palaces, making its population density quite crowded compared to other places.

Within a range of tens of thousands of kilometers around Purple Thorn Island, no aurora approaches. However, if anyone violates the rules of the Ancestral God Religion, or if an unrecognized strange aura enters, it will immediately trigger an automatic response from the Colorful Aurora Lake.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ye Yun and Venerable Can Guang transformed into two streams of light, slowly descending onto Purple Thorn Island.

As soon as he landed, Ye Yun saw the palaces of various shapes in the distance. From many of the palaces came powerful auras, many of which had reached the level of Universe Venerables.

On this Purple Thorn Island, there are over a hundred million Beast God inheritors living, and the total number of Beast God inheritors throughout the years has reached tens of billions.

Because of this, on this island with a diameter of only a few million kilometers, the maximum length and width of each Beast God inheritor's exclusive palace cannot exceed one kilometer. But even so, all the palaces are basically next to each other, presenting a densely packed scene.

Of course, not all Beast God inheritors will stay on Purple Thorn Island forever. The residences here are only to facilitate their acceptance of the inheritance and entry into the depths of the Ancestral God Mystic Realm. Being small is not a big deal.

This is because after having your own exclusive palace on Purple Thorn Island, you only need to leave behind a wisp of your own undying divine power, and then you can directly arrive through divine kingdom teleportation. After being certified with the Beast God Inheritance Token, entering and exiting is not as troublesome as the first time.

Venerable Can Guang brought Ye Yun to a low hill and said softly,

"You can build your palace here! I will take you to meet the Island Lord first. Only after meeting the Island Lord will you truly obtain the authority to cultivate and live on Purple Thorn Island."

Ye Yun maintained a smile and followed Venerable Can Guang towards the depths of Purple Thorn Island. After a while, the two arrived at the highest mountain range on Purple Thorn Island.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, one could see that there was only one towering palace on the entire mountain range, covering an area of thousands of kilometers.

Venerable Can Guang introduced without emotion,

"That is the palace of the Island Lord of Purple Thorn Island. The Island Lord of Purple Thorn Island is a current Guardian Beast God of our Ancestral God Religion."

Ye Yun nodded slightly. Through Venerable Can Guang's introduction along the way, he had gained a better understanding of the Ancestral God Religion.

The foundation of the Ancestral God Religion is all within this Ancestral God Mystic Realm, and the core area is the Colorful Aurora Lake bestowed by the will of the Original Universe.

Within the Colorful Aurora Lake, in the core depths, there is an Ancestral God Palace, which is where the highest-level Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Religion reside. At least one of the three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Religion will be stationed in the Ancestral God Palace all year round, guarding the operation of the Ancestral God Religion.

Surrounding the Ancestral God Palace are eight smaller palaces, which are the Beast God Palaces where the Eight Great Beast Gods reside.

Outside the Eight Great Beast God Palaces are more than a dozen palaces, which are the Guardian Beast God Palaces.

The Guardian Beast Gods of the Ancestral God Religion refer to those who have obtained the complete Beast God inheritance, cultivated to the level of Universe Overlords, but have not inherited the Beast God throne.

Among these dozen or so Guardian Beast Gods, some are unable to inherit the throne because the current Beast Gods are still alive, and some are unwilling to inherit the throne themselves. But even without the throne, their status as Universe Overlords is enough to gain the respect of the Ancestral God Religion.

Inheriting the Beast God throne will cause the original strength of the Universe Overlord to skyrocket again. Generally speaking, other Universe Overlords are no match, but it also means that there is no possibility of improvement forever.

Among the many Guardian Beast Gods of the Ancestral God Religion today, there are many top powerhouses whose strength is comparable to that of the contemporary Beast Gods. The Nine Nether Master in the depths of the Ancestral God Mystic Realm is a representative figure.

The true supreme powerhouses in the universe will only regard the Beast God inheritance as part of their own strength, and will not completely rely on it. Even without the Beast God inheritance, their other methods can still allow them to stand among the strong.

Even with their powerful strength, the Ancestral God Religion, which inherits the will of the Original Universe, will adopt an attitude of respect and appeasement towards the many Guardian Beast Gods. This is the confidence brought by their own strength.

In addition to the most core Ancestral God Palace, Beast God Palace, and Guardian Beast God Palace, the outer area consists of a total of seventy-two God General Continents and three thousand Star Worlds.

The Ancestral God Palace, the Eight Beast God Palaces, the Guardian Beast God Palaces, the Seventy-Two God General Continents, and the Three Thousand God Envoy Worlds are the true core of the Ancestral God Religion.

Therefore, the core members of the Ancestral God Religion are very few, and most are peripheral members.

Of course, not all powerhouses who accept the Beast God inheritance can become peripheral members of the Ancestral God Religion. The word 'peripheral' is only relative to the core members.

To become a peripheral member of the Ancestral God Religion, one must either accept the complete God General or God Envoy inheritance and become a candidate God General or candidate God Envoy, or cultivate the Beast God inheritance to the fifth level.

Each of these conditions is not easy to achieve, so among the hundreds of millions of Beast God inheritors in the entire Purple Thorn Island, only a very small number have met the conditions to become peripheral members of the Ancestral God Religion. The others are simply cultivating the Way of the Beast God.

In fact, from this point, it can be seen that the ideas promoted by the Ancestral God Religion are not false. They claim to be the guardians of the Original Universe's rules, and everything they do is to maintain the development and strength of the Original Universe.

As long as you obtain the Beast God Inheritance Token, or enter the God General and God Envoy inheritance sites scattered throughout the Original Universe, you can directly obtain a certain degree of inheritance without paying any price.

Although this is a means for the Ancestral God Religion to screen suitable powerhouses, countless other powerhouses have also benefited from this and gained an increase in strength. From the perspective of outsiders, the existence of the Ancestral God Religion is completely a good thing that benefits the entire universe.

For Ye Yun, if there was a chance in the future, he wouldn't mind having some cooperation with the Ancestral God Sect. The stable development of the original universe also aligned with his thoughts.

Along the way, Venerable Can Guang and Ye Yun had not exchanged names, so Venerable Can Guang was not yet clear which powerhouse Ye Yun was from the human race.

Venerable Can Guang glanced back at Ye Yun, then got up and flew down the mountain. After completing the mission of receiving him, Venerable Can Guang had no intention of getting to know Ye Yun.

Ye Yun looked at the departing back of Venerable Can Guang and couldn't help but shake his head.

In the original universe, after billions of years of effort, the human race had already become one of the six peak races. If the Original Ancestor hadn't been suppressed by the will of the original universe, the human race would probably have completely dominated the original universe by now.

And in the process of the rise and development of the human race, although it had also subdued countless other races, making them vassals of the human race, there were even more races that had formed all kinds of grudges with the human race.

Among these races, a large part had disappeared into the long river of history, just like the 𩽾冧 race, the origin of Ye Yun's first clone, which could no longer be seen anywhere.

But there was also a part of the races that either joined the Zerg, Mechanical Race, and other peak races, or joined the Ancestral God Sect like the Canling Race, so that they could be preserved.

The grudges between Venerable Can Guang and the human race were not very big, but they were enough to make Venerable Can Guang have no goodwill towards the entire human race, let alone other races that had fought to the death with the human race, who were completely unable to coexist peacefully with the human race.

This was a hidden danger that would inevitably be left behind in the process of development, and there was nothing Ye Yun could do about it. Standing in the position of the human race, what he could do was to make himself stronger, so that he could not fear any challenges and respond to any unexpected situations.

Ye Yun passed through the three fountain water curtains on the square and arrived in front of the main hall.

The entire main hall was covered with thousands of carvings, but upon closer inspection, one could find that these carvings only had eight images in total, representing the eight beast gods that were fundamental to the Ancestral God Sect.

The eight beast gods cultivated the eight fusion laws, which basically represented the ultimate of this original universe, but the fusion laws of the Ancestral God Sect were only at the most elementary stage.

Each beast god path was formed by the fusion of a lower-level origin law and an upper-level origin law, such as water-space, gold-space, wind-time, thunder-time, and so on.

However, the inheritance of the Ancestral God Sect did not involve further fusion laws.

The fusion of water and wood after gold and space, or the fusion of time and space, could not be seen in any of the inheritances within the Ancestral God Sect.

Ye Yun understood that this was a limitation of the development of the original universe. Perhaps only in high-end places like the Origin Continent would there be more corresponding cultivation methods.

Therefore, Ye Yun's idea for this trip to the Ancestral God Sect was very simple, that was to communicate with other inheritors who cultivated the path of the beast god. The eight beast gods, the guardian beast gods, and even the three ancestral gods were all Ye Yun's goals.

Ye Yun planned to collect all the insights into the single fusion laws, and then rely on the Zuling clone's talent secret method of comprehending the fusion laws to integrate all the insights and truly walk out of his own path.

At that point, although every step forward could only rely on himself, wouldn't it be a pleasant thing to be immersed in creating an innovative path?

Ye Yun walked with firm steps, slowly entering the main hall. Along the wide road inside the hall, Ye Yun walked all the way, and it took him a while to finally walk out of the main hall and come to a courtyard.

Walking to the end of the courtyard, he finally saw the main hall where the Island Master lived.

Before the main hall, a man in a simple black robe was sitting cross-legged, with long blue hair and blue secret patterns on his face. Just sitting still exuded a mysterious temperament.

Just the slightly revealed aura made Ye Yun understand that this human man was a powerhouse who had at least reached the level of a Universe Venerable.

Before Ye Yun could speak, the blue-haired man opened his eyes, smiled slightly at Ye Yun,

“Human? Go in, the master is already waiting for you!”

The blue-haired man did not introduce himself to Ye Yun, but pointed to the main hall door that slowly opened behind him, indicating that Ye Yun could directly enter it.

Ye Yun was slightly stunned. Knowing the habits of the Zijing Island Master, he had actually prepared to wait for a while.

But looking at the current situation, his luck seemed to be good. The Zijing Island Master happened to be free, and he didn't need to waste time waiting.

Looking at the blue-haired man, a trace of regret flashed in Ye Yun's eyes.

Although this person was a genuine human, he was only a soul slave of one of the Ancestral God Sect's guardian beast gods. The identity of a human no longer had any meaning for him.

Of course, Ye Yun only felt a little regret, because he was clear after a light scan that this person had followed the Zijing Island Master from the time of insignificance, and with the help of the Zijing Island Master, he had stepped into the Universe Venerable step by step.

If he had developed on his own, he might not have been able to get to where he was today.

Ye Yun cupped his fists and smiled slightly, adjusted his state, and slowly stepped into the main hall.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Ye Yun felt an incomparably domineering aura shrouded from the depths of the hall, full of a heart-palpitating feeling.

Ye Yun raised his head and saw a figure coiled on the throne high in the depths of the hall.

This figure was a strange life form similar to a Flood Dragon, with wings on its back, and a layer of strange armor attached to its body. Flames rose from the armor, and in conjunction with the flame aura emanating from the Flood Dragon's body, the entire space-time was immediately transformed into a world of flames.

Within this world of flames, Ye Yun deeply felt his own powerlessness. The Flood Dragon's strange life only needed a thought to easily turn him into ashes.
