Chapter 1 When the Supreme Ancient Talisman Appeared

The Grand Elder of the Ancient God Realm knelt directly on the ground.

Without the slightest hesitation.

The geniuses were astonished. From a young age, they knew they had extraordinary origins, as inheritors of the Ancient God lineage, not kneeling to heaven and earth, nor submitting to anyone.

But they never expected that the Grand Elder, whom they revered as a god, would actually kneel before someone.

The kowtow was the highest form of respect, a grand gesture only performed by subordinates to superiors.

For the dignified Grand Elder of the Ancient God Realm to kneel before someone was unacceptable to them.

"Grand Elder."

"Elder."

"This…"

The geniuses spoke one after another, unsure what to say, only able to look at the Grand Elder, their eyes full of doubt.

The Grand Elder ignored these geniuses, instead looking at Lu Changsheng and saying, "This subordinate was unaware of the arrival of the Lord of Heavenly Mandate, and begs the Lord of Heavenly Mandate for forgiveness!"

The Grand Elder spoke with utmost sincerity, kneeling on the ground and offering a grand apology.

This behavior slightly lessened the anger in Lu Changsheng and the others' hearts.

"Grand Elder, what exactly is going on?"

"Yes, Grand Elder, what is this?"

The other geniuses were still in a daze, completely unaware of what was happening, appearing extremely curious.

Upon hearing the doubts of the geniuses, the Grand Elder of the Ancient God Realm slowly opened his mouth.

"Now that the Lord of Heavenly Mandate has arrived, I will no longer conceal some things from you."

"In truth, we are not the so-called Ancient God race. This was only to prevent you from learning the truth. We are the remnants of the Ancient Supreme Hall. When the heavens and earth collapsed, and the Ancient Supreme Hall was overthrown by the Palm Heaven Sect, we fled to the Ancient God Mountains to avoid the Palm Heaven Sect."

"In order to protect ourselves, we concealed this matter, and after countless years, we claimed to be inheritors of the Ancient God lineage. Now that the Lord of Heavenly Mandate has arrived, there is no need to hide this secret any longer."

The Grand Elder spoke, revealing this hidden truth.

With these words, all doubts were completely dispelled.

No wonder these people claimed to be inheritors of the Ancient God lineage; it turned out it was to conceal their identities.

However, this information was unacceptable to each of these geniuses.

From the moment they were born, they knew they were inheritors of the Ancient God lineage, supreme existences with a grand origin, but now they were being told this fact.

Few geniuses could accept this secret.

"Grand Elder, I don't believe it!"

"I don't believe it either."

"That's right, we don't believe it."

Some geniuses were still unwilling to believe it. Although the Ancient Supreme Hall was also extremely glorious, the fact that it was overthrown by the Palm Heaven Sect was a disgrace.

Who would want to be a descendant of losers?

It was normal for them not to believe it.

However, the Grand Elder shook his head calmly.

"I understand that you are unwilling to believe it, but from the moment you were born, I informed you of this matter. However, in order to make you believe that you were Ancient God inheritors, I sealed that memory. Now, it can be unlocked."

As the Grand Elder spoke, he waved his hand.

In an instant, all the geniuses recovered a memory.

This memory was from when they were born, and many geniuses were stunned in an instant.

They could no longer refute it.

Because through their memories, they saw the Grand Elder, and also heard all the words the Grand Elder had spoken to them.

He did indeed tell them that they were inheritors of the Ancient Supreme Hall.

"This! Impossible!"

"I… am actually not an Ancient God inheritor!"

Many geniuses revealed indescribable expressions. They had once believed that they were Ancient God inheritors.

They were proud and proud of it, but now that they learned that they were not Ancient God inheritors, but inheritors of the Ancient Supreme Hall that had been overthrown by the Palm Heaven Sect, how could they be proud, how could they be proud?

In an instant, a sense of frustration arose in their hearts.

The Grand Elder watched all of this calmly.

Lu Changsheng also watched all of this calmly.

After seeing this scene, Hongye Arhat couldn't help but transmit his thoughts, somewhat curiously.

"Venerable Changsheng, they have developed inner demons upon learning the truth. Will this not be too bad?"

Hongye Arhat transmitted his thoughts, appearing somewhat worried.

These geniuses were originally high and mighty, but now that they learned that they were not Ancient God inheritors, but inheritors of the Ancient Supreme Hall that was overthrown by the Palm Heaven Sect, would they suffer too much of a blow, thereby losing their Dao hearts?

If that were the case, they might very likely embark on a path of deviation.

Hearing these words.

Lu Changsheng appeared extremely calm.

"Although this fact is cruel, it is also a test, a test from the Grand Elder to them. They fled to this place, isolated from the world, so even the Palm Heaven Sect cannot invade."

"As remnants of the Supreme Hall, they possess endless resources. Any one of these geniuses placed outside would be a dazzling genius, but they lack mental tempering. Now, telling them the truth is a form of tempering for them."

"If they survive this tempering, they will have great achievements in the future, but if they cannot survive this tempering, they will ultimately be nothing more than insignificant stars."

Lu Changsheng transmitted his thoughts to Hongye Arhat.

He saw through the Grand Elder's thoughts at a glance.

Although this was cruel, the Grand Elder had already thought of this step a long time ago.

The Grand Elder knew that the consequence of being isolated from the world was that these disciples would be arrogant and self-righteous.

Having pride was a good thing, but if one could not withstand setbacks, then what was the point of having strong cultivation?

Even if you are a Creation, if you cannot even withstand a little setback, would you not ultimately be making wedding clothes for others?

Even on the real battlefield, they would be easily turned against.

What use were such geniuses?

Turning around and becoming a knife that hurts yourself, who would want to see that?

Therefore, the Grand Elder planted this seed in their initial memories, which was a test, a test for these geniuses.

If they passed, their state of mind would transform, and they would have a great future.

If they failed, they would lose their qualifications to attain the Dao, and would ultimately be extinguished in the world.

Although cruel, this was reality. How could you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?

Without tempering, what would you rely on to attain the Dao?

"Venerable, I have already notified the other elders. May we move to the main hall for a meeting?"

The Grand Elder spoke, appearing respectful as he looked at Lu Changsheng and said this.

"Alright!"

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Then, the Grand Elder stood up and invited Lu Changsheng to the main hall for a meeting.

Leaving thousands of geniuses still silent here.

Among them, there was no lack of Da Luo realm geniuses, but when encountering such a thing, they still needed time to think.

Fortunately, they had time to think.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye.

Lu Changsheng and the others arrived in the main hall.

However, as soon as they arrived in the main hall, Lu Changsheng directly got to the point and asked about a piece of information he wanted to know.

About the God of War.
