A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 517

Chapter 517: Dual Holy Titles

After a long pause, just as the Great Elder was about to say something, Luo Wanyan spoke first, his tone extremely serious.

“Since Senior Sect-Guarding Divine Fire has already declared that Little Friend Wu is the Founding Patriarch of our Wuji Divine Artifact Sect, who else here would have any objections?”

“Greetings, Founding Patriarch!”

Luo Wanyan took the lead in speaking. By now, he had come to a realization: the best course of action was to follow what Wu Zhen’e had said. Otherwise, they would first have to endure a beating from the Sect-Guarding Divine Fire and then proceed according to Wu Zhen’e’s instructions.

Although the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect was very strong now, its strength was dependent on the Sect-Guarding Divine Fire remaining. If the Sect-Guarding Divine Fire, in a fit of anger, left together with Wu Zhen’e, the only fate that awaited the sect would be destruction.

Furthermore, by following Wu Zhen’e’s plan, Bai Ningyu could also keep her position as Holy Maiden—something Luo Wanyan wanted to see happen.

Seeing their Sect Master taking the lead in recognizing Wu Zhen’e’s identity, the other Elders of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect naturally held their tongues and all began to pay their respects to the Founding Patriarch.

Watching this scene unfold, Wu Zhen’e breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no need to fight. Otherwise, unless Wan Ling intervened from the side, he doubted he could even hold out for a moment against the sect’s powerful figures.

Clearing his throat, Wu Zhen’e then spoke with a serious expression.

“Everyone, it was my mistake back then to decide that the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect could only have one Holy title. So from today onward, the sect may have two Holy titles.”

“I’ve said my piece—who agrees, and who objects?”

Hearing Wu Zhen’e’s words, the sect’s powerful figures couldn’t help but silently scoff inside. The Sect-Guarding Divine Fire senior was standing right beside him—who would dare to oppose?

So, before long, the matter of having dual Holy titles in the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect was smoothly settled.

After the decision, Wu Zhen’e seemed to remember something. He looked at Luo Wanyan with a serious expression and said,

“Because of certain circumstances back then, I hadn’t yet fully regained my peak strength. So, unless absolutely necessary, my true identity should not be revealed. You can also consider me a trump card held by the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Wanyan’s eyes lit up immediately. He had been worried that Wu Zhen’e wanted to publicize himself as the reincarnation of the Wu Ji Divine Emperor, but now that such publicity wasn’t required, it was naturally even better.

“I understand, Founding Patriarch.”

Luo Wanyan nodded, then stood silently, his eyes burning as he fixed his gaze on Wu Zhen’e—just like the other powerful members of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect.

Feeling a little uncomfortable under their intense stares, Wu Zhen’e quickly spoke up.

“All right, you all may go and attend to your duties. There’s no need to treat my true self with such importance—everything can remain as usual.”

“Yes, Founding Patriarch.”

Upon hearing this, the powerful figures of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect gradually departed, leaving only a handful of divine venerable elites behind, along with Bai Ningyu.

At this moment, Bai Ningyu’s expression was extremely complicated. She never expected that someone she had casually encountered would possess such a terrifying identity, nor did she expect that this person would speak up on her behalf. Otherwise, judging by what the sect knew, she probably wouldn’t have been able to keep her position as Holy Maiden.

Thinking this, Bai Ningyu looked at Wu Zhen’e and respectfully expressed her gratitude.

“Thank you, Founding Patriarch.”

Hearing Bai Ningyu’s words, Wu Zhen’e was slightly taken aback but soon recovered. He waved his hand and said sincerely,

“No need to thank me. This is what you deserve. After all, you are the Holy Maiden of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect. If because of me you were to be stripped of your position, then that would be my fault.”

Bai Ningyu felt moved deep inside upon hearing this. Before she could respond, Luo Wanyan on the side couldn’t help but interject.

“Founding Patriarch, I have even more important matters to report to you now. How about you hear me out first?”

Seeing this, Wu Zhen’e nodded, and soon he learned from Luo Wanyan about what the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect had gone through after the Wu Ji Divine Emperor’s demise, as well as the opening of the Divine Dao Ore Domain five years later.

After revealing everything, Luo Wanyan’s expression turned somewhat respectful as he said, “Founding Patriarch…”

“Just call me Little Friend Wu. After all, I haven’t returned to my peak yet,” Wu Zhen’e waved his hand and said calmly. After all, being called Founding Patriarch by a God Venerable always felt a bit strange.

Hearing this, Luo Wanyan, though slightly puzzled about why the Founding Patriarch wanted to be addressed this way, still nodded and corrected himself.

“Little Friend Wu, since you have become the Holy Son of our Wuji Divine Artifact Sect, naturally you should enter the Divine Dao Ore Domain along with our sect’s disciples when it opens five years from now.”

“So, I wonder if you intend to enter it, Little Friend Wu?”

Before giving a reply, Wu Zhen’e asked with a serious expression, “Before I answer, I have one question—what exactly is this Divine Dao Ore Domain?”

Hearing this, Luo Wanyan was quite surprised, clearly taken aback by Wu Zhen’e’s response. He had assumed that as the Founding Patriarch, Wu Zhen’e would already know.

Seemingly sensing Luo Wanyan’s surprise, Wu Zhen’e gave a helpless smile and said, “In truth, my True Self has lost quite a bit of memory. I only remember my own identity; almost everything else has been mostly forgotten.”

“Very well.”

Luo Wanyan nodded and then proceeded to explain the matter of the Divine Dao Ore Domain to Wu Zhen’e.

“The so-called Divine Dao Ore Domain is, in fact, no different from the Divine Rank; the only difference is that the Divine Dao Ore Domain contains extremely precious materials for forging, including many that are used in crafting Ninth-Grade Divine Artifacts.”

“That’s why whenever the Divine Dao Ore Domain is about to open, all the sects in the Southern Sky region become wildly excited.”

“The Divine Dao Ore Domain opens once every one hundred thousand years. Today, the Divine Spirits inside must be at a level below True God Peak.”

“The strongest divine beasts inside the Divine Dao Ore Domain are those at the Earth God Realm. Furthermore, it’s forbidden to use power exceeding the True God Realm inside.”

“If anyone uses power beyond the Earth God Realm, they will be instantly destroyed.”

Upon hearing Luo Wanyan’s explanation, Wu Zhen’e’s expression immediately grew serious. He then asked with some puzzlement.“If using power beyond the Earth God Realm is forbidden, then if one encounters a divine beast at the Earth God Realm, wouldn’t that mean a dead end?”

Hearing this, Luo Wanyan shook his head and then said, “The restriction only applies to not unleashing power beyond the Earth God Realm itself, but it doesn’t mean you can’t rely on arrays or combined divine skills. Also, if someone breaks through to the Earth God Realm while inside the Divine Dao Ore Domain, they won’t be instantly destroyed.”

“I understand.”

Wu Zhen’e nodded and responded.

Then Luo Wanyan looked at Wu Zhen’e, his expression grave, and asked, “So, Little Friend Wu, what is your choice?”
