Chapter 270: The Ancestor God Sect's Partial Favor

Xiao Yu's counter‑kill of a High-level Cosmic Respecter not only spread among the races, but also reached the human territories in a very short time.

Virtual Universe, Thunder Island.

Halfway up the mountain, within the palace complex of the Cosmic Venerables.

A group of Cosmic Venerables were discussing.

"I've said it before: with the power of a Time‑Space King, living halfway up the mountain is exactly appropriate; the Chaos City Lord would never even consider it."

"I thought the same back then."

"That Time‑Space King really never fails to surprise! He could slay the King Limit during the Realm Lord era, and now that he's become Immortal he can kill a High-level Respecter."

"Indeed, many of us are only Mid-level Respecter, still not comparable to the Sang Zhi Respecter who was slain by the Time‑Space King."

The palace amid the endless airflow of Thunder Island.

"Well done!" the Chaos City Lord exclaimed joyfully, patting the armrest of his throne, "Truly worthy of my Chaos disciple."

"Shadow, convey this: both Lei Cha Zunzhe and Sang Zhi Respecter shall be added to the Hongmeng Alliance's kill list." the Chaos City Lord said, "You set the targets; we Hongmeng Alliance will also show them our might!"

All the billions of inheritors present harbored no doubt at the force behind the Guardian Beast God's words.

A body like a flood‑dragon, spanning ten thousand kilometers, unfurled massive wings, its dragon head protruding to look down, causing thousands of inheritors to descend and all bow respectfully: "Island Lord."

"From now on, anyone who violates the Ancestor God Sect's prohibition shall be pursued forever; no matter how talented you are, the Ancestor God Sect will hunt you and your race until you dare not reverse time‑space to resurrect."

On Zijing Island, billions of inheritance holders from the various cosmic races were noisy, each utterly shocked, and as the human figure flew past them they all kept a wide distance.

Unconsciously, at this very moment they already regarded Xiao Yu as a Cosmic Venerable.

"Yes, Lord." the Shadow Sovereign replied.

Although Xiao Yu still bears the Third Rank Inheritor title, his earlier feat of killing an assassin in a single step at Five-colored Aurora Lake had already won them over.

A powerful pressure suddenly descended.

"How dare Cosmic Venerables repeatedly assassinate the Time‑Space King on my Zijing Island, blatantly ignoring the Ancestor God Sect's command—such a sin is unforgivable!" the Guardian Beast God's voice boomed. "Whether Lei Cha Zunzhe and Sang Zhi Respecter are clones or originals, the Ancestor God Sect will pursue them; even if they reverse time‑space to resurrect, the Sect will still hunt them."

That's excessively ruthless; Lei Cha Zunzhe and Sang Zhi Respecter have not only lost two clones, but their main bodies also face a falling crisis— even if a super‑strong of the descending race reverses time‑space to resurrect, they will still be pursued.

"Lord, should our race adopt countermeasures?" the Shadow Sovereign respectfully asked in the great hall.

As the foremost power of the Primordial Universe, its actions represent the Cosmic Operation Law.

……

"Do the Mechanical Race, Insect Race, and Demon Race really think humans are invisible? Such reckless assassinations of our race's geniuses! Are my Chaos disciples that easy to kill?" the Chaos City Lord retorted angrily, while the Endless Chaotic Airflow swirling in the great hall roared wildly.

Just now, after ascending to Immortal, he cleanly counter‑killed a High-level Respecter; in the future he will become a peerless strongman.

The newcomer is the Island Lord Guardian Beast God of Zijing Island.

Suddenly.

Once they fall, it means permanent fall; their races will not oppose the Ancestor God Sect on their behalf, mainly because their value within their own races or alliances is already low.

If they were valuable, they wouldn't be sent on assassination missions.

Li Ha Respecter felt immensely relieved yet terrified at this moment; both times he was only a heartbeat away from being the one endlessly pursued.

Under the Guardian Beast God's pressure, billions of inheritors watched the human protagonist move orderly toward the Island Lord's palace.

The Guardian Beast God looked down, gazing at that human figure.

Xiao Yu felt the gaze and the pressure, immediately turned back and respectfully saluted: "Island Lord."

"Hmm." the Guardian Beast God replied faintly.

"Disperse." the Guardian Beast God, hovering above Zijing Island, looked down, his voice echoing across the island, "Remember, the Time‑Space King is an inheritance holder of the Ancestor God Sect; assassinating him will incur the Sect's pursuit."

"Yes."

Countless inheritors bowed.

Then the Guardian Beast God in the sky vanished into thin air, and the billions of inheritors who had been holding their breath finally exhaled.

"What's happening? Didn't Lei Cha Zunzhe and Sang Zhi Respecter just assassinate the Time‑Space King? In the history of the Ancestor God Sect, killings among inheritors have occurred, yet the Sect never specifically pursued them. Now they go to such lengths— they're giving them no way out!"

"You foolish ones, you don't understand? Clearly the Ancestor God Sect treated the Time‑Space King specially; you didn't see it. How biased the Sect is toward the Insect‑Chasing King, and now it's also favoring the Daohe King!"

"Could the Time‑Space King be a special being? Otherwise how do we explain his ability to counter‑kill a High-level Cosmic Respecter?"

"Possibly; otherwise how do we explain the Ancestor God Sect's special treatment of him?"

Billions of inheritors from the cosmic races discussed, flitting off in small groups. Most of them were merely watching the spectacle; what did the dirty affairs among the six great Peak Clans have to do with them?

"How… how can we kill him? There's simply no way to kill him." Li Ha Respecter looked afar at the departing Xiao Yu.

With his power, even self‑destruction likely couldn't kill Xiao Yu, let alone face permanent pursuit. If this assassination were carried out, it would mean his permanent silence.

Yet he had not lived enough; he still had his race, his honor, and so on. If he died, his race would also decline, and the honor he once boasted of would become meaningless.

He had agreed to the assassination earlier, first because of the Insect Race Alliance's subsidy, second because only a clone would be lost.

……

The earlier assassination made Xiao Yu increasingly realize that this is a world where the strong reign. Only those with sufficient strength can face the myriad challenges.

He also realized how ruthless inter‑clan wars are, exterminating a race's strongmen while also assassinating its geniuses, wiping out a race's foundation.

Realizing this, Xiao Yu would act more cautiously thereafter.

Previously on Zijing Island he mostly flew, rarely using Instant Teleport; now he directly teleported to the square's side.

He stepped into the fountain on the left, entering the Inheritance Land.

From now on, whenever Xiao Yu goes to the Inheritance Land, he will use Instant Teleport—quick, direct, and much safer.

……

"Even if Lei Cha Zunzhe reverses time‑space, he will still be pursued by the Ancestor God Sect; they strongly demand that we Demon Race give more compensation."

"I have already agreed to reverse time‑space to resurrect Lei Cha Zunzhe and grant their race compensation; now they raise further demands?" Mo Hu Zhi Zhu roared angrily.

Among the angry Demon Race, Mechanical Race, and Insect Race, the Demon Race was the most furious, and the Mo Hu Zhi Zhu responsible for this incident was even more enraged.

Losing a Cosmic Venerable cost a huge price, yet not even a single hair of the human Time‑Space King was harmed.

The Insect Race took no action, so the loss was minimal; the Mechanical Race's assassin only lost a Universe Sage Level duplicate, merely losing the heir qualification.
