The moment the higher-ups of the human race like Primal Chaos City Leader caught wind of the news, they deduced that the intruder on Redbud Island must have been a universe supreme being, that was the first thought that immediately came to their minds... The bug clan, demon clan, and automaton race already wanted to eliminate Luo Feng, and he was on Redbud Island all this while. When backed into a corner, the three pinnacle races would go for the most reliable method—getting a universe supreme being to do the killing. This was a possibility!
Once they arrived at this conclusion, Primal Chaos City Leader was quite shaken. Fortunately, Luo Feng's consciousness was always connected to the virtual universe, so Primal Chaos City Leader was aware that Luo Feng was alive! That was when he could calm himself down.
However, Primal Chaos City Leader was also confused... If a universe supreme being was there to kill Luo Feng, then there should not have been any chance of failure unless Luo Feng was fast enough to self-destruct! If killing Luo Feng was not the motive, then what was going on?
"That universe supreme being was Virtual-Real Devil Master," Luo Feng said in a respectful manner.
"Virtual-real Devil Master?" Long Yan Master and Primal Chaos City Leader were flustered.
"Indeed, he came to Redbud Island to kill me."
Luo Feng considered for a short while, then decided to tell them the truth. After all, from a normal perspective, he was an up-and-coming great being among the humans; if the bug soldiers, demons, and automaton race were doing all they could to eliminate him, then naturally, the human race would do all they could to protect him.
He was a target for assassination by a universe supreme being, so by right, the human race should be doing something to help him. To depend solely on himself for a hard fight should not be necessary. He would first see what the race would do.
"He was there to kill you?" Primal Chaos City Leader asked with a trace of fervor in his eyes.
"If Virtual-Real Devil Master made a trip personally, how did you manage to escape?" Long Yan Master could not help asking.
Primal Chaos City Leader said, "If Virtual-Real Master was there, given his power, the island master of Redbud Island would not have been able to stop him. As for your Ancestor God from the Ancestral God School, he may not be able to make it in time to stop him... How could you...?"
"Teacher, it was Ancestor God who saved my life," Luo Feng informed them.
Long Yan Master and Primal Chaos City Leader exchanged eye contact. Both of them had reached a conclusion based on the information they received. Being able to make use of the Five-Color Aurora Lake without being discovered by any of the candidates on Bauhinia Island was a feat that only Ancestor God could achieve. What neither could comprehend was how Ancestor God could have made it there in time to intervene. Battles among the great always happened at breakneck speed!
"If it wasn't for Ancestor God, I'm afraid..." Luo Feng shook his head as he recalled. "Since the time I gained recognition as a top-tier universe overlord and first arrived at Redbud Island, Ancestor God has been secretly staying in seclusion by my side. For 62 years, he has been my neighbor."
"Ah."
"Neighbor?"
Long Yan Master and Primal Chaos City Leader were taken aback, shocked that Ancestor God held Luo Feng with such high regard and was willing to be his bodyguard. He was, after all, the greatest authority in the entire Ancestral God School... This was such a beautiful gesture, for the highest being of the top power of the universe to stay by his side for so long, just to protect him in the dark. It was a gesture that would touch anyone's heart.
