In the Land of Calamity, there was a tall shrine under the black mother tree with a waterfall of divine power. It was majestic and solemn, surrounded by red stars. The divine power waterfall washed the shrine from top to bottom, and the shrine was located within the waterfall.
This was Lu Yin's first time under the black mother tree. He had passed through the Seven Gods Sky Tower and walked into the deepest part of the Land of Calamity.
The shrine was no smaller than the Above Heaven's Sect, and behind it was a statue embedded in the mother tree. It was the one true god.
Lu Yin looked at the shrine in front of him and the divine power washing over it. The closer he got, the more he felt an illusion of heavenly might.
Even with his strength and identity as the master of the Origin Space, he still felt this way. This was not only the deterrence of the true god, but also the Land of Calamity, the black mother tree, and the Everlasting Race.
He looked at the statue, and everything around him turned dark. Only he and the statue were standing in the dark space.
The enormous pressure forced Lu Yin to bend down. He wanted to bow to the statue, and he had to bow to the statue.
Lu Yin's eyes widened, and his head felt like it was about to explode. But so what?
He had felt this way when he fought the cyclops king, and this was not the first time he had experienced it.
He did not want to bow to the one true god. He could endure it.
Lu Yin's divine power boiled within his body and suddenly surged out. He suddenly looked up and stared at the True God statue. At that moment, a hand landed on his shoulder and instantly suppressed his divine power, bringing with it a cool sensation.
Lu Yin's expression changed, and he slowly turned around.
The Ancestor of the Past looked at him with a smile.
Lu Yin's eyes flickered, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I can't control my divine power."
The Ancestor of the Past praised, "You have been summoned by the true god. He likes you very much."
Lu Yin blinked. Was that so?
Not far away, Yu Huo was shocked, "Ye Bo, how long have you been in the Land of Calamity?
I knelt the first time I came to the shrine. "
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Kneel?
He would rather run away.
The Ancestor of the Past retracted his hand, "Any creature that faces a true god for the first time will have to kneel if they do not have divine power protecting them. Only when one's divine power reaches a certain level can they face a true god. This is a privilege given by the true god. Captains like you can do it, and so can Ye Bo. That is why he can be a captain."
Yu Huo exclaimed, "The first time he used his divine power, it went very smoothly. I knew that Ye Bo is very used to it, but I did not expect him to adapt so much. Ye, maybe you can also try to become one of the seven Skygods......."
Lu Yin raised his brows....
"Don't listen to his nonsense. The strength of the Seven Gods is far from what we can estimate. Just relying on divine power is not enough." The people from the Thousand Faces Game came.
Yu Huo let out a strange laugh. "That's because you don't understand how well Ye Bo has adapted to divine power. Just wait and see. As long as the position of the Seven Skygods remains vacant within a thousand years, he will definitely have the ability to make a breakthrough."
The people from the Game of a Thousand Faces did not care and entered the temple.
............
Lu Yin raised his head again and looked deeply at the true god statue. Now that he looked at it again, the statue no longer had that pressure. Was it because of the divine power in his body?
Stepping into the shrine, the sound of the waterfall of divine power flowing was very loud, but it disappeared once they entered the shrine.
The shrine was dark, and the ground was dark red. As they entered, candlelight was lit and extended into the distance.
Lu Yin looked around and saw that Yu Huo was the closest to him, followed by the Ancestor of the Past.
Even further away, under the illumination of the candlelight, the Middle Plate stood quietly. Opposite the Middle Plate was a stone with a black face on it. It was very strange, as Yu Huo had introduced it on the way here. It was called the Stone Ghost.
Further in, Blackie was leaning against a corner.
A girl with long pink hair was illuminated by the candlelight, and she raised her hand to block it, "Is everyone here?
I still want to play hide-and-seek with my brother. "
Lu Yin looked at the girl. She was very pretty, but there was a childish feeling to her. When Lu Yin looked at her, she looked back at him with mischievous and crafty eyes.
A hand landed on her shoulder, "Don't be naughty, there's something important."
The candlelight flickered, revealing a handsome face. It was a man with short blue hair, formal attire, and a longsword at his waist. He looked like he had walked out of a painting.
Facing Lu Yin's gaze, the man smiled, "You must be Ye Bo. Nice to meet you. I'm Dual Blade."
Dual Blade was not a single person, but rather a pair. It was this man and woman. They were a team and also one of the captains of the True God Guard.
This team was very strange; they weren't humans, but blades that had transformed into humans.
"Hey, Big Brother is greeting you, but you don't even respond. How rude." The pink-haired girl was unhappy and glared at Lu Yin.
The blue-haired man rubbed her hair, "Don't shout, it's too quiet here."
"Who else is not here?" the Ancestor of the Past asked, walking to the front and looking at everyone.
The Ancestor of the Past answered, "The boss isn't here."
Lu Yin's eyes moved. The captains of the True God Guard were all equal, but according to Yu Huo, there was a publicly recognized boss who was the strongest.
Yu Huo did not elaborate, only saying that even if the other nine captains worked together, they wouldn't be able to defeat Tiangou.
Lu Yin was very concerned about this evaluation, as even a Sequence Law powerhouse would not be able to withstand the attacks of nine captains. They all had godly strength and could ignore the rules. Once the rules were restricted, the captains of the True God Guard were not weak, and they were all very strange.
Since Tiangou was able to convince them, Lu Yin believed that it was not much weaker than the Seven Gods.
"It's that thing again. It's always so slow. It clearly has two more legs than us," the pink-haired girl complained.
Yu Huo let out a sharp voice, "It's probably looking for food."
Lu Yin raised his brows. Looking for food?
Was this Tiangou the same as Taotie?
"It's here." The Ancestor of the Past looked into the distance.
Lu Yin stared outside the shrine. The captain of the True God Guard, Tiangou, was definitely a great enemy. He wanted to see what kind of existence it was.
After waiting for a while, a figure slowly appeared, its shadow elongated under the candlelight as it slowly entered the shrine.
Lu Yin's gaze turned solemn as he stared at the entrance. When he saw the figure clearly, his expression changed as he stared blankly. This was … Tiangou?
At the entrance of the shrine, a half-meter-long Xiao Bai puppy walked in with its tongue out. It was panting as it walked, and its tongue was lolled so long that it almost licked the ground. It looked wobbly, and its stomach was bloated.
Lu Yin was stunned. Whose pet dog was this in the Disaster Region?
"Wow, Boss, you're so cute." The pink-haired girl leaped out and hugged the Xiao Bai puppy.
The Xiao Bai puppy was startled and quickly ran away.
The pink-haired girl chased after it. "Boss, let me hug you. Just for a while."
"Woof!"
Lu Yin's face twitched. This bark had shattered his worldview.
When Tiangou arrived, the entire shrine's atmosphere changed.
The pink-haired girl chased after it while barking incessantly. Yu Huo and the rest were already used to it, and their expressions were calm.
Even the Ancestor of the Past looked on with a smile.
The blue-haired boy chased after it as well. "Come back quickly. Don't mess around. Boss might get angry."
"Boss never got angry. Boss is so cute. I want to hug Boss. Hahaha."
"Woof!"
The farce continued for a while before it stopped.
The pink-haired girl still couldn't hug Tiangou as it hid behind the Ancestor of the Past. She didn't dare to be impudent and could only stare at it as though she was about to catch it at any moment.
Tiangou's ears drooped, and its tongue lolled out even longer. It was very tired.
"Alright, all captains have gathered. I will explain to everyone." The Ancestor of the Past spoke, and everyone's expression changed as they looked at her solemnly.
The Ancestor of the Past swept her gaze around. "True God Guard captains Tachibana and Lü Shan are confirmed dead. Heavy Ghost's fate is unknown after the battle at Heaven's Gate. We are currently missing three captains, and this is Ye Bo."
All the captains of the True God Guard looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's eyes were still on Tiangou. When the Ancestor of the Past introduced him, Tiangou's gaze swept over him. Its eyes were round and sparkling, and no matter how one looked at it, it had a simple and honest look. Coupled with its dangling tongue and belly, Lu Yin really couldn't associate it with the captain of the True God Guard.
This pet dog was something that the other captains of the True God Guard couldn't defeat even if they worked together?
The man and dog looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, Tiangou slowly walked towards Lu Yin.
The Ancestor of the Past and the others looked at this scene. Tiangou was the captain of the True God Guard, and if it didn't agree with Lu Yin becoming a captain, no one could say anything, including the Ancestor of the Past.
Tiangou's status was rather special.
Under everyone's gaze, Tiangou walked in front of Lu Yin and looked up at him.
Lu Yin looked down at Tiangou and wondered if he should squat down and pat its head.
Woof!
Tiangou barked and walked around Lu Yin. When it reached the left side of Lu Yin, it raised its hind legs and peed.
Lu Yin's expression changed, and he almost kicked it out.
"Congratulations, Tiangou has acknowledged you and left its scent on your body." The Ancestor of the Past smiled.
Lu Yin swallowed his saliva and looked at Tiangou walking towards the Ancestor of the Past before looking at his own leg. A dog had peed on him.
A grudge was formed.
Woof!
Tiangou barked again, attracting everyone's attention.
The Ancestor of the Past looked at everyone. "We are currently lacking two captains, and I hope that everyone can recommend good candidates. Today's gathering is for this matter. Yebo, from this moment onwards, you are officially a captain of the True God Guard. Within three years, ten Corpse Kings will be given to you. I hope that you can eliminate strong enemies for our race and unify the endless spacetime."
Lu Yin's expression changed. "Yebo, understood."
Woof!
Lu Yin's face twitched. This barking really made him feel out of character.
…
The stars collapsed, and cracks spread out into the distance.
Lu Yin stood in the starry sky with five Progenitor Realm Corpse Kings behind him. In front of him was an endless amount of strange bugs.
This was a parallel spacetime, and Lu Yin had received a mission to destroy this spacetime.
This spacetime was filled with these bugs, and there were no other intelligent lifeforms aside from them. The strongest bugs were at the Progenitor Realm, but they were rare Progenitors without intelligence, and there were many of these Progenitor Realm bugs.
Fortunately, they didn't have intelligence, and Lu Yin could destroy them with the Progenitor Realm Corpse Kings.
