    “However, Ancient Gods can still be studied. For me, they constitute a significant foundation. Even if I don’t become an Ancient God, I can use their strengths to compensate for my weaknesses and continue to perfect my Human Race Bloodline.”


    “Aside from the followers and a small portion of forces under the Divine, most forces seem to tacitly allow their growth.”


    “Most are handled by the Lords. The native forces seem to be waiting for something and haven’t taken action. Moreover, some cults formed by followers of the Ancient Gods and ambitious individuals are expanding aggressively. Rumor has it that they’ve received the Ancient God’s blessings and their strength has increased.”


    “Hmm, just raise the price for those second-hand dealers as a warning. If they don’t heed the warning, then deal with them,” Qin Muye said with an indifferent tone.


    “Has the erosion by the Ancient Gods been ongoing?”


    “The Ancient Gods are coming fiercely. The native forces are dragging their feet and causing a mess, and the Lords are too busy to care for themselves. They have to reclaim wild lands and clear out remnants of the Ancient Gods. It’s really tough.”


    “Seems like the Ancient God Relics are remnants of the forces eroded by the Ancient Gods in the past, and the Ancient God’s Minions are the followers transformed by them,” Qin Muye squinted his eyes, seeing the Ancient God Relics more like fragments of time.


    “Anything else?” Qin Muye inquired.


    “It’s just that I’m not sure if these Ancient Gods would recognize my identity.” He felt that, as a juvenile Titan, a juvenile Ancient God, and a juvenile Lord of Hell, he ought to be able to claim some familial connection.


    “Oh, right, the minds of those followers of the Ancient Gods don’t seem too sharp. Their behaviors are not only chaotic and disordered but also arrogant and conceited. There have been followers of the Ancient Gods who have boldly declared that they want to make the True Dragon Emperor a sacrifice.”


    “Oh, if a true Ancient God revival happens, I guess everyone will flee to another server. Who would stay and wait for death...”


    “From this perspective, this Ancient God might be the progenitor of a certain type of energy, like an Element God rather than a current racial god?”


    “Yes, I will give them a proper warning,” Black Hand said with an unchanged expression but internally calculating how to wring more value from these fools.


    “Forget about those fools,” Qin Muye felt confident in his position. He hadn’t gained any benefits and naturally didn’t want to play the savior for the so-called greater good. If the natives didn’t care, why should he, an outsider Lord, help save their world? That would be nonsense.


    “Not only am I a Titan Embryo, but also an Ancient God Embryo?” Qin Muye felt a headache coming on.


    “That’s unlikely... If it were something like the progenitor of Magic Power, then who could resist?”


    “Many are reselling our munitions to the followers of the Ancient Gods, making a hefty profit,” Black Hand pondered before speaking.


    “With this development, doesn’t it mean that the first three rewards are traps?”


    “Master, the origins of Orange Village have been found,” Black Hand transmitted a piece of intelligence through the Magic Network to Qin Muye.


    “I always feel... this thing seems somewhat familiar?” Qin Muye looked at the core element extracted from the fleshly orange that could be called Ancient God’s Power.


    Qin Muye suddenly realized there could be a trap, but could the Ancient God actually run to another server to settle scores with them?


    Qin Muye even speculated that before this, the Magic Continent may not have been Rank 6, but rather, it had a higher rank which fell due to the Ancient God’s siphoning, and after the death of the Ancient God, the Rank 6 server couldn’t support its revival, thus it had to engage in sneaky tactics.


    Although his bloodline was a bit mixed, it was still called the Human Race Bloodline, but at least he had the identity of the Crimson Ancestor, an Ancient God.


    Naturally, this information leaked out, which could be considered the natives’ infiltration into the Lord’s affairs.


    His Human Race Bloodline held immense growth potential and space, especially since this Ancient God and his Crimson Ancestor ability bore striking similarities, which could be leveraged to further unearth his potential.


    Of course, he had something related to the Ancient God, which was the Crimson Ancestor ability he obtained after absorbing the Crimson Source into his body.


    He wouldn’t make any money from it, and it would only strengthen the Ancient God faction’s power; it was simply a lose-lose situation.


    As the Crimson Ancestor, he naturally knew the power that this identity held.


    Upon hearing this, Qin Muye was also speechless, knowing without thinking that the idiot was likely already dead.


    It was as if they were two of the same species but not the same individual.


    If it wasn’t for the fact the Lords lacked the power of resurrection, otherwise, they would definitely be fourth-disaster-level players.


    If not for the exceptionally sweet and juicy oranges, there would be little mention of it, hence it’s referred to as intelligence, but in reality, there’s a lack of detailed information due to limited space.


    If the Ancient God hadn’t resurrected, that would be one thing, but if it had, both the bloodline and the two Divine Artifacts would seem to belong to the Ancient God.


    Therefore, even if the server were to be destroyed, he could still make use of the Server Transfer Token to leave the Magic Continent server with ease, and the natives? That’s none of his concern.


    Because the Magic Continent server is only Rank 7, there wouldn’t be a chance of resurrection if it were really Rank 9.


    Besides, his territory has the second-generation Divine King, Sea Goddess, and Ocean God, all Titan Divine Race beings starting from Rank 8. Even without the power of Divine Authority reducing their strength significantly, they’re still beings of Rank 8.


    Orange Village was a small village from thousands of years ago that was wiped out due to an accident.


    This intelligence really wasn’t easy to gather; it took nearly three days to find.


    This thing... Qin Muye also had it; the Magic Power in his body was somewhat similar to it.


    These three elements—Crimson, Hell, and Titan—all contributed equally to his strength; otherwise, it would result in one overpowering the other rather than a complete fusion like now.


    This time, due to the fusion with another server leading to an advancement to Rank 7, it prompted these restless Ancient Gods to directly show their hostility.


    If he really went after them, who knows when it would be; perhaps by then, these Lords will have developed to Ranks 7, 8, or 9, making it uncertain who would be settling scores with whom.


    As for what kind of certainty they had, it was probably those who had already got in touch with the Ancient God faction and even thought they could control the situation.
