MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

Feeling the boundless anger of the Second Ancestor, the Seventh Ancestor became even more cautious, keeping his figure hidden as he quietly left the courtyard.

After wandering for a long time, the Seventh Ancestor finally confirmed that no one had detected him, and arrived at the side hall where Tai’e was temporarily staying.

Upon seeing the cloaked Seventh Ancestor, Tai’e immediately activated the underground mechanism.

A dim corridor led straight to the underground, its stone walls covered entirely with mysterious charms that blocked all external perception and investigation.

As the two entered the tunnel, the mechanism reverted to its original state, leaving no trace.

Entering the underground secret chamber, the Seventh Ancestor finally began to speak: "You were right, the Second Ancestor conspired with the Third and Fifth Ancestors against Eferot, but during the process, the Fifth Ancestor also revealed why our royal family is gradually declining, which displeased the Third Ancestor, nearly killing him in the side hall."

Hearing the Seventh Ancestor’s words, a glimmer of cold light flashed in Tai’e’s eyes. Every generation of Lion Clan emperors has spent immense energy trying to improve the issue of the Lion Heart royal family’s decline and difficulty in having offspring, but they have never succeeded.

"Please, Seventh Ancestor, tell me more."

The Seventh Ancestor nodded and recounted the Fifth Ancestor’s words about Eferot.

After listening to the narrative, Tai’e was also extremely angry. Just for the sake of his survival, Xue Long had descended this infinite karma upon them, truly hateful!

Speaking thus, the Seventh Ancestor sighed deeply: "Going to the source of the bloodline to cleanse the karma... this is more difficult than ascending to heaven, truly the heavens seem set to destroy my Lion Heart royal family!"

In response, Tai’e did not speak, but fell into contemplation for a long time, finally sorting out his thoughts and said to the Seventh Ancestor: "Actually, there might be another way."

"Oh? You know? Quickly, tell me!"

Then Tai’e said: "To untie a bell, one must find the bell maker, perhaps the Snow Clan has a solution this time."

"The Snow Clan, yes, the Snow Clan might have a solution. Did they all flee with the Human Race to the Star Domain?"

"Yes, but..." Tai’e paused briefly and then continued: "Bu Sheng of the Snow Clan Great Emperor had his arm severed by the ancient Beast Race, and the Snowy Region forces were nearly extinguished by the attacks of the ancient Beast Race. Now, living in the Star Domain, there are likely fewer than a hundred thousand Snow Clan members, and all the strong ones were slain."

"Alas! Truly the caprices of fate!"

It must be said, the Snowy Region suffered the most significant losses in the ancient Beast Race invasion, dropping out of the first tier in the Star Sky Alliance, losing its voice and living miserably.

Though the ancient Beast Race committed these acts, trying to explain to Bu Sheng that it had nothing to do with him, Tai’e, and his followers would likely fall on deaf ears.

Whether they help or not is one matter, but whether they can help is another.

But no matter what, this seems a more reliable option than searching for the bloodline source and exorcising True Spirit’s malice.

"If it doesn’t work, I’ll personally go to the Star Sky Alliance," the Seventh Ancestor said solemnly, "This matter is of great importance; even if there is a little hope, we must not give up."

"No, you cannot go. Right now, our tribe is internally divided, and we are at a critical period in the Blood Oath battle. The Seventh Ancestor must preside over the situation."

"Then..." Upon hearing this, the Seventh Ancestor immediately understood Tai’e’s meaning and nodded: "I understand."

After the conversation, the two prepared to leave the secret chamber. Before leaving, the Seventh Ancestor paused and reconfirmed to Tai’e: "Have you truly thought it through?"

"Yes, I have. Given the current situation, Tu Ku Lu is indeed more suitable than Eferot to become the Beast King. Without Tu Ku Lu’s support, even a cooperative alliance would see the benefits to our Beast Race being exploited by all sides, and... the Beast Race is currently the strongest force under the Star Sea, easily isolated within the alliance. If faced with a tight battle, our tribe will likely be targeted and used as sacrificial puppets. Only by having Tu Ku Lu become Beast King can there be a chance, through his identity, to ease the alliance’s internal position of the Beast Race. For the Beast Race, sometimes the growth of the tribe should matter more than the dignity of our royal family. Ensuring the perpetual prosperity of the Beast Race, that should be the honor and dignity our royal family ought to maintain. Furthermore, if the Snow Clan has a solution, it would be easier for Tu Ku Lu to persuade Bu Sheng. With all these considerations, Seventh Ancestor, you should understand."

After listening to Tai’e’s reasoning, the Seventh Ancestor agreed: "Having you in the royal family greatly comforts my heart."

Parting from Tai’e, the Seventh Ancestor returned to the stands, where the Second through Fifth Ancestors of the Lion Heart had already departed.

Seeing the Seventh Ancestor return, the Sixth Ancestor frowned: "Where did you run off to? The Second Ancestor was just looking for you."

"Just investigating some matters." As he spoke, the Seventh Ancestor looked at Lu Hong on the arena.

At this moment, he faced a formidable Third Transition Peak Beast Race fighter, who stood out from the prior weaklings, possessing profound strength much like Tai’e during his Third Transition phase.

After nearly two months of fierce battling, Lu Hong’s energy was consumed by ninety percent, leaving him visibly exhausted. With about a quarter of his Qi Blood Power remaining under his precise control, his dominance was dwindling.

In close combat, even the Second Transition youngsters below could see that he had lost his former prowess, hitting the Third Transition fighter without much impact.

Meanwhile, the Third Transition fighter, seemingly intent on toying, did not relentlessly pursue Lu Hong.

As the match continued, Lu Hong’s steps grew increasingly faltering, as if he had been hollowed out.

"Ha, if this is all, you really are unworthy to be Beast King. I suggest you step off the stage!" Perhaps tired of playing, the Beast Race fighter laughed loudly, his aura exploded, focusing his strength, and punched Lu Hong in the abdomen.

At this moment, Lu Hong bit his tongue, forcing himself to focus, and his Qi Blood Power erupted.

A scarlet nuclear bomb suddenly exploded on the arena.

The resulting blood-red storm lingered for a long time.

Eventually, the scarlet slowly faded, but the Beast Race fighter had long turned into a withered corpse.

Seeing the Beast Race fighter slain by Lu Hong, the faces of the Beastmen below changed.

Originally, the Duke was only killing those ancient Beastmen vying for the throne, but in the end, he struck against their contemporary Beastmen.

Suddenly, an exclamation arose from below the arena: "I remember now, he’s..."

A Beast Race youngster pointed at the corpse on the stage, screaming: "He’s the Grand Marshal Lan Zhan from six hundred years ago!"

As the youngster spoke, the Beast Race carefully examined, and believed they indeed recognized the historical figure from old portraits.

The arena below erupted in discussion.

"Is he really the Grand Marshal Lan Zhan? Six hundred years, how can anyone in our Beast Race live that long?"

"Could it just be resemblance or perhaps a descendant of Grand Marshal Lan Zhan?"

"No! He is truly Lan Zhan." Determined voices spread through the crowd: "Rumor has it the Beast Race has a transcendent Holy Temple named the Lion King Hall, possessing an elixir granting longevity and greatly reducing aging, yet secretly it contributes nothing to us Beastmen, like a parasitic bloodsucker on our race. Outrageous, Duke was removing harm from our race!"

The murmuring among the crowd was naturally heard by the Heavenly Gods.

Having witnessed their ancient Beastmen being slain by Lu Hong, malicious smiles were cast toward the Lion Heart Ancestors.

The Lion Heart Ancestors, however, remained composed, as if uninvolved.

Indeed, it had nothing to do with them. Although the Lion King Hall bore the Lion King title, it never truly belonged to the Lion Heart royal family after the first three generations of Hall Masters at its inception, and these disseminated rumors to damage its reputation were undoubtedly Tai’e’s handiwork.

As the rumors spread, resistance in the common Beastmen to Lu Hong’s killing of Lan Zhan dissipated, and the agitation stirred by the Blood Oath within each Beast Race member gradually subsided.

Seeing the unrest settle, Lu Hong glanced at the Netherworld God on the stands, thinking: Truly as you said.
