Hearing those words, Manager Feng raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him. After taking a glance at Mei Luoyu, he turned his gaze to Gu Zheng at the side.
"I remember that there is an ancestor god in Xifeng Village. It seems that he was registered ten years ago. Why did he register again?" As Manager Feng spoke, his hands moved quickly towards a red dot on a sea area in front of him.
Gu Zheng could clearly see that the island under his hand was a miniature version of Xifeng Island, and there were many similarly brighter red dots around it.
What was even more amazing was that with a point, the entire map changed its appearance. It turned into all the territories of Xifeng Island, and everything was displayed on it.
The blue waves of seawater undulated slightly on the table, and the shape of the entire island appeared clearly in front of them. Even the ships on the island, the woods, and even the destroyed small forest could be seen. It was as if they were really observing the island from above.
However, there were no living creatures on it, but Manager Feng was looking at it as if there was some information written on it.
After a while, Manager Feng raised his head and spoke to them.
"The ancestor god before you has already left this world. There is no mistake about it. Then, follow me!"
With that, Manager Feng stood up and led them out of the living room to a side room.
This room didn't look much different from the others, except that the outer walls were covered with a layer of unknown black material.
Inside, there was a magic circle flashing with a blue circle of light. Other than that, there was nothing. It was empty.
"Hand over your things!"
Manager Feng said to Mei Luoyu, and then to Gu Zheng.
"Go stand there. Don't resist. It will be done in the blink of an eye!"
Previously, Gu Zheng had already understood how the Ancestor God had chosen. In fact, it was like the main will of this world, forcefully putting a layer of shackles on you. It was like an official assigning a position to his subordinates. Then, he would be given some special rights.
After hearing that, Gu Zheng walked into the magic array from the outside. However, the magic array wasn't working right now, so Gu Zheng didn't feel anything different.
On the other side, Manager Feng took a red crystal core from Mei Luoyu and knocked on the wall next to the door. A hidden groove appeared in front of them. Small mysterious symbols were carved on the side, surrounding and protecting the groove in the middle.
"Are you ready?"
Manager Feng nodded when he saw Gu Zheng. Immediately, the crystal core was placed into the groove.
The room that was originally a little dark suddenly became a little transparent the moment the crystal core entered. The two of them also retreated out of the room.
A beam of intense golden light penetrated the heavens and the earth. Layers of seven-colored halos broke through the endless dark clouds, rotating along the golden light in the sky and descending into the small house below.
Such a huge commotion could be seen from a radius of five hundred kilometers, causing the people waiting outside to be stunned. This was a phenomenon that would only appear when an Ancestor God was crowned.
Guan Xi looked at the sky in astonishment. He didn't expect that young man to really come to become an Ancestor God. However, if that was the case, their previous Ancestor God had either died in an accident or left this place.
Thinking of this, Manager Feng rolled his eyes and a new idea appeared in his mind.
He wasn't careless about their matters. After all, the Ancestor God had always asked them to create trouble for them whenever they had the chance. Suddenly, he thought of a good idea, which would definitely make them feel very uncomfortable.
Wasn't it just an Ancestor God of a tribe of thousands? He was probably a native who had just ascended.
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on his face. It could only be said that they were unlucky. This time, he had come with the Ancestor God's opinion.
Gu Zheng, who was inside, had already closed his eyes. At this moment, his entire body couldn't move. The magic array exploded with light, and he was pressed to the ground by an intense pressure, unable to move.
The moment the golden light came down, a vast aura flowed out of the magic array, causing him to instantly fall into a daze. It was as if he hadn't slept for three days and three nights and just wanted to fall asleep.
However, Gu Zheng still couldn't resist the magic power of the other party. In the end, he closed his eyes and fainted like the previous people who had received the Ancestor God's inheritance.
However, the strange thing was that there was a seal in his mind that stubbornly prevented the strange energy from continuing to penetrate. In fact, although Gu Zheng's body was unconscious, his consciousness was extremely clear.
In the golden light pillar that couldn't be seen by outsiders, mysterious runes constantly poured into Gu Zheng's body. At the same time, a mysterious connection connected him to this world.
At this moment, he felt as if he was standing high up in the sky, overlooking everything in the village.
Traces of incomprehensible understanding gradually cleared up as the mysterious runes kept pouring in. However, after reaching a certain level, he was no longer able to understand the meaning.
However, Gu Zheng knew that this thing must be a trace of the profound meaning left behind by the Sage-to-be. The more he comprehended, the better it would be for him.
Although Gu Zheng wanted to do his best to explore, there was always a layer of glass in front of him. Because the gap between them was too big, he couldn't even explore 1% of it. This made Gu Zheng feel very regretful.
Moreover, as the seven-colored halo once again entered his body, the red crystal core also responded from a distance. A red ray of light shot into his body at lightning speed, leaving a red line in the air.
Gu Zheng felt a strange feeling with the crystal core. It was as if he had an extra clone out of thin air, but he couldn't control it. At the same time, his spiritual power was slowly being sucked away by the crystal core.
At this time, Gu Zheng finally understood why he had to faint at the beginning. It was because this feeling of being sucked away bit by bit was driving Gu Zheng crazy. Especially that indescribable soreness, which directly affected his brain, was like torture. In the blink of an eye, Gu Zheng's body was soaked.
In this situation, Gu Zheng couldn't resist. Who knew what would happen. This was directly connected to his spiritual power. If there was any accident, he didn't want to know the consequences.
He might as well have directly fainted. However, this damned seal could even block this. It was indeed the strangest seal.
After about one-tenth of his spiritual power had been sucked away, this phenomenon slowly stopped. If it continued, Gu Zheng couldn't guarantee that he could control himself. He definitely didn't want to experience that feeling a second time.
The moment the red line broke, Gu Zheng's whole body collapsed. Even when so much of his spiritual power was sucked away, he was somewhat absent-minded.
However, the countless rays of golden light, mixed with a little seven-colored light, surged into his body. Countless spiritual power constantly rushed into Gu Zheng's body.
The extremely rich spiritual power repeatedly washed over Gu Zheng's body. His spiritual power was quickly recovering. That comfortable feeling and the strong contrast almost made Gu Zheng moan out loud.
This bone-deep feeling was like ice and fire at the same time. Gu Zheng hadn't experienced such a stimulating feeling in a long time.
As the light gradually began to shrink, all the strange phenomena began to fade away.
At this point, Gu Zheng's spiritual power was bound to the crystal in Xifeng Village's hand. No matter how far away they were, they could sense each other's existence.
At this time, a token mysteriously appeared in Gu Zheng's hand. After sensing it a little, he understood that this was the only tool used by the people in the village to contact him.
Gu Zheng wasn't without gains. Under the impact of that unparalleled spiritual power, Gu Zheng was surprised to find that the black fog in his body had been reduced by one-fifth. It had been completely wiped away by the spiritual power. His suffering wasn't in vain.
However, the half-broken seal was still there, showing off its might. It wasn't affected at all.
As the surrounding houses returned to normal, Manager Feng and Mei Luoyu also came in. When they saw Gu Zheng return to normal, a smile appeared on their faces.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist. I hope you can fulfill your title as the Ancestor God well."
Then, he returned the crystal core from before to Mei Luoyu.
Gu Zheng nodded and walked out of the still pulsing light circle. At this time, all kinds of information had appeared in his mind, including the various ways to use the Ancestor God, some things to take note of, and how to guide him to leave his magical power on the statue.
"Do you still want to collect your share for this year?" Manager Feng asked Gu Zheng at this time.
They didn't have the clan leader's token, but the Ancestor God's appearance was more useful than anything.
"Then let's collect it together!" Gu Zheng was happy to be the transport leader for such a trivial matter.
Back in the room from before, Gu Zheng sharply discovered that at the edge of Xifeng Island where he had previously marked, there was an obviously much larger red dot, and at all the surrounding marks, there was basically a red dot.
Not far from them, there was an obviously brighter red dot, surrounded by nearly ten flower dots.
Gu Zheng wanted to see more clearly, but the water screen returned to its previous appearance, showing the entire southernmost territory.
"Okay, next year, remember to return the things when you collect them next year. Including the supplies you didn't collect before, a total of five years' worth of supplies are here." Manager Feng handed over a golden whistle-like object.
Gu Zheng curiously explored it and found that the space inside was not small. At least half of it was filled with different kinds of grains, fruits, vegetables, and some other daily necessities. It was definitely enough to satisfy the needs of thousands of people for five years. Gu Zheng even saw a few bottles of healing pills, which should be prepared for those with cultivation.
However, the quantity was too small, far from enough. No wonder when Ren Jie arranged for the treatment of the wounded, Ren Zeng looked distressed.
"Thank you, Manager Feng!"
Mei Luoyu said politely, and then went out with Gu Zheng.
As soon as Gu Zheng went out, he saw that everyone was looking at him curiously. They hadn't expected him to actually come here to become an Elder God. It had to be known that most of the Elder Gods here had been sent here by the higher-ups. Otherwise, they would rather wander than come to such a remote place.
The resources here were so poor, and the population was relatively small. There was far less help here.
Because of the mysterious person in front of them and Gu Zheng's delay, the sky began to darken.
The black sky here was actually a bit dusky, but it wasn't so dark that one couldn't even see one's own fingers. It corresponded to the darkness of the Great Wastelands.
At that moment, Guan Xi's face had regained its calm. It seemed that because Gu Zheng had become an Elder God, he had restrained himself, but Gu Zheng could still see a hint of unfathomable thoughts in everyone's eyes.
However, Gu Zheng didn't say anything. He just quickly left with Mei Luoyu.
Although the sky was already dark, it was no different from daytime. The others continued to line up. When Gu Zheng went in, a few more people joined the line. Everyone went in one by one, took their tribe's resources, and left.
Soon, it was Guan Xi's turn. He walked in as usual, but just as he was about to enter, he suddenly lost control of his body. His entire body tilted, and he fell towards the guard next to him.
"What are you doing?!"
The guard next to him shouted. At the same time, he leaned to the side and dodged Guan Xi's attack.
However, after Guan Xi staggered, she twisted her body and continued to hug him.
The people behind him were stunned. Guan Xi didn't want to live anymore. He actually dared to take liberties with the guard in public.
However, Guan Xi himself couldn't say anything because he had already lost control of his body. He couldn't even open his mouth to speak. All he could do was look anxiously at the guard, indicating that he was innocent.
Fortunately, the guard saw that there was something wrong with Guan Xi. He also saw the pleading look in Guan Xi's eyes. Otherwise, he would've drawn his blade and killed Guan Xi on the spot.
"Stop before you go too far!"
Manager Feng's voice suddenly sounded in the air. As the voice sounded, Guan Xi realized that he could control his body again. Although it was still a little stiff, his body still fell towards the guard in front of him. He was so frightened that he quickly dodged to the side and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
However, he didn't care that his body was covered in mud. He rolled and crawled outside, away from the guard.
After he was a distance away, he hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly to clear his name.
"Manager Feng, it's him. He's the one who's controlling my body."
"I know. Don't talk nonsense. Quickly come in and get your things."
Just as Guan Xi and the others were waiting for Manager Feng to punish him, they heard Manager Feng's nonchalant reply. It was as if he didn't see what Gu Zheng had done.
One had to know that even an ancestor god couldn't play with others like this. It could easily cause a misunderstanding and endanger his life.
This made everyone very shocked. However, other than Guan Xi, no one made a sound. Everyone knew that Manager Feng was protecting Guan Xi.
But who was that person? What did he do to make the Manager Feng, who had always been fair, side with him?
Guan Xi wanted to object, but after opening his mouth a few times, he didn't make a sound. Although he was very angry, he quickly controlled his emotions. He knew that it was useless to do anything now.
Guan Xi's expression was as calm as ever, but the shame he felt in his heart was about to drown him.
Although he was only a tribal leader and didn't have the status and identity of an ancestor god, he was the leader of the largest human faction in the southernmost region. One had to know that they were already preparing to migrate and settle down in the middle of the continent.
Furthermore, they had already decided that their ancestor god had earned enough merit to settle them all down. At least, it would be much better than this.
It was just a small tribe with a few thousand people. There probably wasn't a tribe smaller than this. Perhaps it was someone who pulled some strings. However, since you happened to enter the tribe that the ancestor god hated the most, you can only wait to be exiled again.
No matter what you're planning, you will return empty-handed.
Guan Xi thought fiercely in disgust. After receiving his things, he expressionlessly headed south.
After sending everyone away, Manager Feng took out a palm-sized mirror. After a few spells were cast on it, a light screen was projected into the air and began to flicker. After a while, a person with a black veil appeared in the middle of the mirror.
"Subordinate Feng Tian from the southern border's Nanshui City. I have an important matter to report to Sir."
"After six hours, Sir will naturally contact you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure on the mirror suddenly disappeared, and Feng Tian put away the small mirror.
"For three days, I won't see anyone!"
Following Manager Feng's order, the courtyard door that wasn't opened all year round was closed. A layer of golden light rose from the courtyard and disappeared into the air.
.....
On the other side, when Feng Tian shouted and cut off Gu Zheng's control spell, Gu Zheng regretfully put down his hands.
Mei Luoyu looked at Gu Zheng in fear. She didn't expect that the moment she came out, her ancestor god would want to take revenge on Guan Xi. She couldn't persuade him and could only stand at the side in fear, afraid that Manager Feng would come out and find trouble with them.
"It's fine. I'm the ancestor god. I don't intend to kill him. At most, they will punish me. There won't be any problems." Thinking of Gu Zheng's promise, Mei Luoyu worriedly asked.
"Ancestor God, isn't this a little inappropriate?"
"Look, nothing happened. Don't worry, let's leave this place!"
When Gu Zheng sensed the completely different power from before, he felt curious as well.
There was a very weak Joss Flame power in his body. However, before he was recognized by the ancestor god, it could only linger on the surface of his body. After he was recognized, it all poured into his body.
However, this was an external power. In the end, it didn't belong to Gu Zheng at all. This was because Gu Zheng didn't intend to learn a cultivation method that came out of nowhere. Although the information said that it wouldn't have any effect on him and that once he went out, the Joss Flame power in his body would lose its effect due to the isolation, and he could even use this cultivation method to establish a new system outside, he still needed to study how to convert it.
However, Gu Zheng didn't plan to study it in the future, nor did he want to cultivate it. This was because Gu Zheng had his own cultivation method, which was stronger than anything else. This was his foundation and he couldn't be careless. Even if there was nothing wrong, Gu Zheng wouldn't cultivate it.
However, if he didn't cultivate this cultivation method, he wouldn't be able to use this power. However, Gu Zheng found a way to completely use this power.
Because Gu Zheng still had a withered Yao grass inside his body, he placed it inside his body to act as a shelter for the Yao grass. Sure enough, his idea was right.
Although its power seemed to have decreased a little, it could be completely used without any stagnation. He might even be able to get the Yao grass to recover quickly. It was killing two birds with one stone.
"Eh? Who is that?"
