Chapter 141: Greetings……Lord!

When Ye Wuque's silhouette stepped into the central divine hall, the originally solemn and tranquil atmosphere inside seemed like a stone dropped into a lake, instantly rippling with invisible waves.

All the elders and senior elders seated on the stone chairs of the War God Heavenly Hall focused their gazes in unison on this young black-robed youth.

Their eyes held scrutiny, curiosity, anticipation, but above all an indescribable tension, as if they were confirming something.

Especially the few elders seated at the front, whose auras were deep and mighty, and the middle-aged man of imposing stature seated in the central chief seat, who exuded authority without anger—the current hall master of the War God Heavenly Hall, Zhan Wuji!

At the moment Ye Wuque stepped in, the faces of these highest-ranking beings almost simultaneously underwent a drastic change!

Their pupils suddenly contracted, their bodies involuntarily leaned forward slightly, even trembling faintly!

This was not fear, but an extreme excitement mixed with… disbelief!

Hall Master Zhan Wuji rose abruptly, his form flickering like an instant shift, and in the next moment stood directly before Ye Wuque, so close they could almost feel each other's breath.

His pair of eyes, which seemed to contain the sun, moon, and stars, now fixed tightly on Ye Wuque, their gaze sharp as if it could see through him inside and out!

His breathing grew somewhat ragged, his voice tinged with an uncontrollable tremor, as he asked a shocking question:

"May I ask… Ye Xiaoyou… have you… obtained the Great Dragon Halberd? And… have you also received its recognition as master?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the great hall fell silent enough to hear a pin drop; everyone's hearts rose to their throats, eyes locked on Ye Wuque's lips, awaiting his reply.

Ye Wuque's expression remained calm, but his mind was completely clear.

Indeed, everything was as he had expected; the War God Heavenly Hall had mobilized en masse precisely because it sensed the aura of the Great Dragon Halberd, or rather, sensed the inseparable bond between him and the halberd.

He hesitated not at all, nor did he intend to conceal anything.

With a mere thought—

Hum—!!

An ancient, vast, domineering halberd intent, terrifying enough to rend the ancient heavens, burst forth suddenly from within him!

Immediately after, a war halberd of dark gold, its surface mottled with scars and ferocious cracks yet still radiating an aura of supreme dominance over all realms, materialized in his hand out of thin air!

The Great Dragon Halberd has appeared in the world!

Although cracks covered the halberd's shaft, as if it might shatter at any moment, the instant it appeared, the supreme majesty emanating from bloodline and soul depths instantly enveloped the entire central divine hall!

"Hiss——!!"

"It's it! Truly it! The Great Dragon Halberd!!"

"Ancestors above! The prophecy is true! It has truly appeared!!"

"The new generation's Great Dragon Halberd inheritor is right before our eyes!"

At the moment the true form of the Great Dragon Halberd was revealed, everyone inside the great hall—including Hall Master Zhan Wuji—elders and senior elders regardless of cultivation or age, were as if pulled by an invisible force and sprang to their feet!

On their faces, was no longer the solemn composure; instead rose an indescribable fervor, reverence, and an almost devout… expression of submission!

It was a throb and worship rooted in the soul's origin, imprinted in the bloodline inheritance!

The next moment, a scene unfolded that left Ye Wuque stunned, hardly believing his own eyes!

Behold, Hall Master Zhan Wuji, one of the titans standing at the peak of Boundless Heaven, was the first to bend his waist, bow low before him and his Great Dragon Halberd, shouting with utmost reverence and fervor:

"Hall Master Zhan Wuji of the War God Heavenly Hall! We welcome the Lord's return! Greetings, Lord!!"

Following his lead, all the formidable elders and senior elders within the great hall, men and women, old and young, bowed in unison toward Ye Wuque, their voices merging into a torrent that made the entire divine hall hum.

"Welcome the Lord's return! Greetings, Lord!!!"

The rolling sound waves brimmed with undeniable loyalty and excitement!

Ye Wuque was utterly stunned; even the Great Dragon Halberd in his hand felt scorching. He quickly shifted aside, extending a hand to support them.

"Seniors! Please rise at once! How… how can this be? I, a junior, possess neither virtue nor merit to deserve such a grand salute! You'll overwhelm me!"

Yet Zhan Wuji and the others insisted on completing the full salute before slowly straightening, but their gazes remained filled with heartfelt reverence, regarding Ye Wuque as if he were a divine object of faith.

Seeing Ye Wuque's genuine shock and astonishment, Zhan Wuji drew a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and began to explain, his voice still trembling:

"Lord, there's no need to be alarmed; please listen as I explain in detail."

"Our War God Heavenly Hall, tracing its origins, is not some ancient orthodox lineage; rather… it was founded by the generals, followers, and countless supporters under the great Hùn Dùn Lóng Zhǔ of old, who banded together to form this power!"

"Without the Great Hùn Dùn Lóng Zhǔ, we would not have today, nor would the War God Heavenly Hall exist! The Great Hùn Dùn Lóng Zhǔ is the sole master in all our hearts and the glory of our lives!"
