The prodigies of the three dominant races, who were scattered throughout the distant mountains searching for the mysterious spirit beast race, suddenly felt their knees buckle and collapsed to their knees with a thud. Unable to resist, they could only kneel there silently, completely unaware of what had happened.

Just as the entire secret realm submitted, a large swarm of ants suddenly emerged from the ground. The queen ant, who was taller than Aju, stood up, wearing a crown and holding a scepter. She raised her arm and shouted, "The entire ant race is willing to submit to the ancient bloodline."

At this moment, a beam of light enveloped Aju in the air. When it jumped back into Dongfang Mian's arms, it was holding an object wrapped in green light.

Just as it was handed to Dongfang Mian, a flash of light appeared on her right wrist, and the entire item vanished instantly. Similarly, a green halo appeared outside the red halo of the artifact spirit.

Aju didn't care about any reward it received; what it enjoyed was the thrill of being worshipped by all the beasts. Like a general inspecting his soldiers, Aju slowly walked past the submissive herd of animals with its cat-like steps.

A fluffy tail swept across the enormous head of a bear-like beast. "Who was it that said I was seriously ill? Come here, call me 'Ancestor'."

The bear-beast struggled desperately to no avail; whenever a thought of disrespect towards Aju arose in its heart, it felt as if it were being stabbed with a knife.

Even though he was determined to never obey, he couldn't help but shout "Ancestor!" out loud.

"Hahaha, that's so satisfying! So satisfying! Come on, everyone shout together, 'Long live Ancestor Aju!'"

Ah Ju shouted excitedly. Dongfang Mian leaned against Ah Ju, who was laughing triumphantly. He sighed that it was fortunate that he was not greedy and did not refine so much, otherwise he would be kneeling on the ground and shouting "Long live the ancestor" now.

"Long live Ancestor Aju!"

The roar of the beasts echoed through the sky, including the pride of the three races who were completely unaware of what was happening in the distance.

Before they could recover from their inexplicable submission, they uncontrollably shouted, "Long live Ancestor Aju!"

Who is Aju Laozu's ancestor?

Isn't the Divine Beast Mountain assessment only open to young prodigies?

He was, after all, a prodigy of a dominant race, and he was kneeling on the ground calling himself "ancestor"?

Thankfully, no one was watching. Although they were no longer in the same place, their thoughts were strikingly similar: they just wanted the assessment to start quickly. Any opportunity or reward was insignificant in the face of such humiliation.

Just as Aju was feeling satisfied and ready to think of the next slogan, the second test finally arrived.

The beasts were teleported to the entrance of the third level with a sigh of relief.

Not yet satisfied, Aju pouted and expressed his dissatisfaction to Dongfang Mian, demanding that they make him a few more small wooden balls after they left so that he could show off his power anytime.

Dongfang Mian chuckled, "You think it's that easy? Let alone the Guiding Vein Wood, there's only one Shengmai Grass in the entire Tianyin Valley's secret vault."

Before Aju could say anything more, the mythical beasts, who had no sense of pressure around her, surrounded her menacingly.

The most impulsive bear-like beast charged at the two, but before it could even touch them, it was eliminated by the rules of Divine Beast Mountain. This act extinguished the fury of the divine beasts like a bucket of cold water.

At the foot of the mountain, the clan chiefs, who were completely unaware of the situation, rushed forward to inquire after seeing the bear beast eliminated. They learned that with the help of Dongfang Mian, Aju had temporarily upgraded its bloodline and forced the divine beasts of each clan to kneel and call it "Ancestor." The expression of the Crimson-Striped Divine Tiger clan chief in the corner turned unfriendly.
