“Oh, this is the ancestor of our Guo clan, and also…”
Guo Fu lowered his voice as he spoke, "He was also the Space God who created the Land of Forgotten Sins, one of the great kings of the Chaos Continent countless tens of thousands of years ago, a Celestial-level figure!"
"Is he the ancient space god who created the Land of Sin?"
Guo Feng's eyes widened.
Guo Fu was taken aback and looked at Guo Feng: "Young Master Guo Feng, he is the common ancestor of Guo Wangcheng and the ancient Guo clan. Don't you recognize him?"
Guo Feng quickly calmed down and looked at Guo Fu calmly, asking, "Guess how old I am?"
"Oh, Young Master Guo Feng, I'm sorry."
Guo Fu's lips twitched.
He knew that Guo Feng was going to bring up his age again, so he quickly apologized to avoid being hurt.
Guo Feng then asked, "By the way, my ancient Guo clan was wiped out because of this ancestor, so why can you still erect his statue here?"
“Young Master Guo Feng, you are indeed too young and don’t understand many things.”
As Guo Fu walked, he muttered to himself, "Although this ancestor created the Land of Sin, he was still the former king of this continent."
"Do you know that many powerful ancient families were his servants and subordinates?"
"It's a complex and intertwined situation."
"Therefore, when the ancient Guo clan was wiped out, no one dared to bring it up, and no one dared to take the initiative to claim responsibility."
"And our Guo Wang City is not weak either. Even the Empress cannot make us destroy this statue."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Guo Feng and said, "So, do you understand now?"
"Um."
Upon hearing this, Guo Feng understood even more the pivotal position his ancestor, who bore a striking resemblance to his own father, held on this continent in the past.
He couldn't help but ask, "Do you know his name?"
"I don't know about that. It happened countless tens of thousands of years ago. I only know that he was known as the God-King of Space."
Guo Fu looked helpless.
"Oh, take me to the person you mentioned."
Guo Feng waved his hand, no longer pondering the question. Perhaps it was just a similarity?
After all, his father died in a car accident eight years ago.
This Space God King had been a powerful figure on this continent for countless millennia.
Moreover, a single statue doesn't prove much.
His focus shifted to the Earl of Guo Wangcheng, whom Guo Fu had mentioned.
He had learned about the political structure of the Yanyang Empire from his previous casual conversation with Guo Fu.
It is similar in appearance to the Zhou Dynasty.
The nobility was divided into dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons.
These nobles had to be granted titles by imperial decree, and each title was divided into three ranks.
The rulers of the royal city were dukes and marquises.
Throughout the entire empire, there were only five Grand Dukes.
The lord of the main city is an earl.
The lord of a city is a viscount or a baron.
The empire also had dukes, ministers, and officials.
The titles of dukes and ministers were equivalent to marquises, while the titles of grandees did not exceed those of earls, and the titles of officials did not exceed those of viscounts.
Those with a noble title were entitled to a fiefdom.
Therefore, the Duke of Guo of Guowangcheng was a first-class duke, one of the five great dukes.
Yan Shan Xinghe was a third-class earl, and was therefore enfeoffed in a border region.
The person they were going to meet was a second-class earl who had a good relationship with Yan Shanxinghe.
A powerful expert at the seventh level of the eighth rank.
This person has a main city fiefdom in the Guo Wangcheng area, but because he is highly regarded by the Duke of Guo, he also has a large courtyard in Guo Wangcheng.
They resided permanently in Guo Wang City.
Before long, they arrived at a heavily guarded area in the central region of Guo Wang City.
This is outside the inner palace of the royal city.
It was the residence of some nobles and officials in the royal city.
Ordinary civilians are not allowed to enter freely.
Although Guo Fu did not hold a noble title, he was a commander with an official position, equivalent to a third-class baron.
In addition, he was quite familiar with the people here, which made it easy for him to come and go.
They arrived outside a very large and luxurious mansion.
The guards at the gate were a fifth-rank guard and two fourth-rank guards.
Guo Fu stepped forward and respectfully reported.
After all, this was a count's residence, and even a commander like him wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
I waited for a while.
A middle-aged man of the sixth rank stepped forward.
Arrogant demeanor.
"Guo Fu, is this person you brought really related to the Earl of Xinghe? Let me tell you, Earl Changsheng is busy with important matters. If you are disturbed unjustly, you won't be able to save your life!"
This person is clearly of a lower rank than Guo Fu.
But in his words, he gave the impression of being superior to Guo Fu.
Clearly, this is a case of a dog relying on its master's power.
Guo Fu hurriedly nodded and bowed, smiling, "Steward Zhu is right. Don't worry, I only dared to bring Young Master Guo Feng to see Earl Changsheng because I was absolutely certain of my success!"
As he spoke, he took out a spirit stone brimming with spiritual energy and placed it in the bamboo steward's hand.
Guo Feng scanned it with his divine sense.
This is actually a high-grade spirit stone.
Worth one hundred low-grade spirit stones.
In China, that would be worth forty to fifty million.
"No problem, please come in."
Steward Zhu then led them into the mansion of the Marquis of Changsheng, and they soon arrived at a large hall.
The bamboo housekeeper told them to wait.
After waiting for about half an hour, Guo Feng was getting impatient when he heard footsteps at the door.
Someone shouted, "The Earl of Longevity has arrived!"
Guo Fu quickly stood up.
Guo Feng did not get up.
He was already getting angry. How dare a mere eighth-rank, seventh-level person put on such an air?
Should we make him wait for half an hour?
Soon, a group of five people walked in.
Besides the sixth-rank bamboo steward, there were two seventh-rank experts and a middle-aged man with an imposing presence.
