Chapter 1 Within the Ancient God Palace

Inside the palace, a clamor arose, but for the moment, nothing seemed amiss; no danger had appeared.

Lu Changsheng walked slowly, his eyes filled with boundless chaotic energy.

The God of War followed closely behind.

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng stopped, looking ahead.

There stood rows of still, silent humanoid statues, each holding a long spear and clad in armor.

The statues were remarkably similar in appearance, arranged in neat rows, orderly and bearing a strange aura.

They were the figures Lu Changsheng had seen outside the Ancient God Palace.

Like guards of the Ancient God Palace, protecting it.

"God of War, do you know anything about these statues?"

Lu Changsheng asked the God of War, looking at the statues.

The statues were placed here, and they were obviously not ordinary statues.

Moreover, each statue was surrounded by a strange aura, making them far from simple, further proving their extraordinary nature.

Lu Changsheng guessed that, logically speaking, these statues would awaken and revive as soon as they triggered some restriction, to kill them, the outsiders.

But Lu Changsheng didn't say it, afraid that if he did, it would actually come true, and that would be troublesome again.

The God of War looked over, also examining the neatly arranged statues.

"Big brother, these are all servants and guards of the ancient gods, much stronger than the ferocious beasts that have revived outside. As long as you obtain the ancient god's inheritance and control the Ancient God Palace, you can also control these guardians."

The God of War said this.

"Then why have these guardians not revived when the ferocious beasts have?"

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

"I don't know about that." The God of War shook his head, pondering for a moment before saying, "Perhaps the time hasn't come yet, or perhaps someone needs to trigger some restriction in the Ancient God Palace for them to awaken."

Lu Changsheng: "..."

Don't jinx it.

After taking another look, Lu Changsheng didn't dwell on it.

Face the soldiers when they come, block the water when it rises; in my life as Lu Heavenly Emperor, I have never feared anything.

As he walked, Lu Changsheng suddenly sensed an aura not far away.

It was Wang Xiu's aura.

The vitality within Wang Xiu's body had been forcibly sustained by Lu Changsheng using the Great Life Art.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng was very sensitive to this aura.

Now, this life aura was very weak, indicating that Wang Xiu was in a very bad situation.

Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng quickened his pace.

When he saw a motionless body lying on the ground ahead, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

That body was Wang Xiu.

He didn't know what had happened to him, but the vitality within his body had been almost completely wiped out.

He had almost returned to the state Lu Changsheng had first seen him in, half-dead.

"Little friend, you've finally come."

An old voice sounded, filled with a hint of bitterness, a hint of grievance, and the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

In the short time since entering this Ancient God Palace, he had been thinking about Lu Changsheng's appearance and arrival every moment.

Back then, in the Sword Peak Mountains of the Ancient God Mountain Range, for endless years, even on the verge of death, he had remained unmoved.

Because as a wisp of obsession, he lacked emotions.

But now, he wanted to live, to continue living.

At least to satisfy his obsession and confirm the secret behind this Ancient God Mountain Range before dying.

Following Lu Changsheng, he had seen hope, countless hopes.

Without saying much, Lu Changsheng stepped forward and cast the Great Life Art on Wang Xiu.

In an instant, a surge of vitality was born within Wang Xiu's physical body, allowing him to stand up.

"Thank you, little friend."

Feeling the vast vitality within his body, Wang Xiu immediately cupped his hands in gratitude.

"No need to be so polite."

Lu Changsheng said, his tone refined and kind.

"So weak."

The God of War, behind Lu Changsheng, watched all of this, slightly stunned and somewhat astonished.

When he first met Wang Xiu, the God of War thought he was Lu Changsheng's servant and didn't pay attention to him.

Later, he heard Wang Xiu and Lu Changsheng addressing each other as "senior" and "little friend."

This made the God of War think that Wang Xiu only seemed simple but was actually a profound expert.

After all, how could an ordinary person have his big brother call him senior and call his big brother little friend?

Wouldn't that shorten his lifespan?

But seeing this scene, the God of War also felt a surge of displeasure in his heart.

He really wanted to say, "Are you worthy?"

Moreover, the God of War remembered that every time he avoided fighting and didn't take action, Wang Xiu would look at him with that strange gaze.

The God of War knew very well what that gaze meant; it was a questioning, questioning gaze.

This made the God of War even more unhappy.

However, the God of War didn't say anything now, keeping it in his heart, deciding that if Wang Xiu looked at him like that again, he would directly retort, saying, "What are you looking at?"

"Senior, what happened to you just now?"

Lu Changsheng spoke, saying this.

He was somewhat curious about what had happened to Wang Xiu.

Because he himself had felt nothing unusual when that invisible force grabbed him into the Ancient God Palace.

Not only him but also the God of War, including his observations during the process, seemed to have no danger or damage.

Why had Wang Xiu's vitality almost disappeared?

This aroused some curiosity in him.

After all, any unusual situation in the Ancient God Palace needed to be understood clearly.

Lu Changsheng gave himself a thumbs-up for his ingenuity.

"I don't know either. When an invisible force grabbed me in, it was also obliterating the vitality within my body."

"I suspect that the Ancient God Palace has restrictions on the Creation Realm. Although I don't have the power of creation now, I still have a Creation Body."

Wang Xiu shook his head and then spoke his guess.

"Hiss!"

Hearing this, the God of War looked at Wang Xiu with a horrified expression and couldn't help but gasp.

As if he had misheard.

Creation Body!

Thinking again of Wang Xiu saying that his vitality had almost been obliterated, the God of War immediately realized.

The Ancient God Palace had restrictions on the Creation Realm, the God of War was very clear about that.

When the Ancient God Palace had revived, the God of War had said that a restriction had appeared, limiting those in the Creation Realm from taking action.

The God of War had never expected that a Creation Supreme was mixed in among them.

And had infiltrated the Ancient God Palace.

What kind of divine power was this? It was simply unfathomable.

No wonder he could be called "senior" by his big brother.

No wonder he could call his big brother "little friend."

He was not just simple; he was simply unfathomable.

As for Wang Xiu's saying that he had no power of creation.

The God of War understood, wanting to deceive the heavens and cross the sea, trick the Ancient God Mountain Range, and sneak into the Ancient God Palace, how could it be simple? It would definitely require a price to be paid.

Presumably, this was the reason why Wang Xiu said he had no power of creation.

Presumably, this was the reason why Wang Xiu, like his big brother's servant, had not taken action along the way.

Presumably, it was because there were restrictions, and he would not take action until a critical moment.

The God of War thought to himself, "Luckily, luckily, I didn't confront him just now; otherwise, wouldn't it have been very embarrassing and I would have been slapped in the face?"

Wang Xiu turned his head to look at the God of War, somewhat inexplicably.

Just now, the horrified expression and gasping behavior that the God of War had shown when looking at him, appeared to others as soaring battle intent, engulfing mountains and rivers.

Seeing the gaze that Wang Xiu cast over, the God of War immediately calmed his emotions, nodded, and said calmly, "That's right, the restrictions of this Ancient God Palace against Creation Realm experts are even more terrifying than in the Ancient God Mountain Range."

The God of War said this.

Wang Xiu's guess was confirmed, making him somewhat uncomfortable; he was already like this, what was the use of having a Creation Body? He was still being targeted, it was simply too bullying.

He looked at Lu Changsheng and asked, "Little friend, what should we do next?"
