Chapter 346: Three Ancestors

"So soon?" Luminous was startled when he saw this group of people who came with Luminate. He didn't expect that Luminate could gather these ancient beings in just less than a day!

He couldn't help but look at Jin Rou with surprise in his eyes.

Luminate had brought the three ancestors of the clan, the very core of it. If there were people here, they would instantly kneel or kowtow in front of them.

For the people of the clan, the three ancestors were their saving gods. From the calamities they went through until now, the three ancestors had stood tall and protected their clan.

They were the strongest fort that the Templar Clan hold. And once they fell down, the clan would surely be next. Unless Luminate and her brothers had fully matured, no one else was going to hold the fort aside from these ancient beings.

The three ancient men walked in a hurry, but with grace.

Luminous was confused why they were rushing like this. However, he received the answer he wanted when they suddenly knelt down in front of Jin Rou as if they were just mere servants in front of him.

"Lu, Gong, and Wang Ancestors pay respects to Your Majesty."

This spectacle would make everyone speechless. Just imagine, the three most revered existences in this world were kneeling in front of a young man.

However, if they just knew the identity of this young man, they would surely realize that what the ancestors made was completely normal.

Luminate was also kneeling to the ground and spoke after the ancestors, "Luminate True God pays respects to Your Majesty."

Now, Luminous' head was churning upside down. Everything was making sense slowly and the reality was hard for him to take.

"Luminous, what are you doing?" Lu Ancestor spoke, looking at Luminous with raging expression, "If I don't see you kneeling and pay respects to the King, I'll not hesitate to abandon you. Mark my words."

Luminous could feel his mouth drying. He was in a pinch of what to do. A while ago, he was very aggressive against Jin Rou. Though he was cautious against him, he estimated that they would just on par in terms of strength. Thus, he was waiting for a chance to make his move.

But the situation had turned for the worst, a turning chance wasn't possible anymore.

If he tried to pursue his matter, Lu Ancestor wouldn't hesitate to disown him and not even their parents could do something about it. After all, even in their family, Lu Ancestor was the certain law and no one could dethrone this.

Luminate was also sending him messages to warn him about his choices.

Luminous was drenching with sweat. He should have known better but his pride and ego was stopping him from doing so. It was natural for a hot headed youth like him. But the situation was different right now.

It might affect the future prospects of their clan.

"Luminous pays respects to Your Majesty." In the end, he bit his lip and knelt down in front of Jin Rou.

This was the right choice. What would his pride do? Would it prosper their clan and rise into the deep skies? No, if they offended Jin Rou, their clan was doomed to fall from grace. After all, Jin Rou came from the celestial family that ruled above the firmaments. Not to mention, he was the Celestial King himself!

Jin Rou couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know why but seeing Luminous in a situation like this was entertaining for him, "Rise, everyone."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The three ancestors spoke at the same time and stood up slowly, "I didn't expect that the three of you would be receiving me."

"How couldn't we, Your Majesty?" Gong Ancestor smiled wryly. He was wearing a light robe and with a white hair that looked like a saint, "If you gave us a heads up that you will be coming, you wouldn't have to experience this trouble."

The three ancestors had seen Jin Rou in the past as they were invited during his coronation. In fact, they also had a talk with him and discussed the dao.

They were shaken to the core that Jin Rou was coming. After all, what would be the reason for his coming here?

They thought that the king was roaming the lower worlds to experience them. But this world was a higher one, just next to the celestial realm.

"I'm sorry for that." Jin Rou apologetically smiled, "My grandmother has asked me to come here while I'm on my way home, so I'm here."

"I see." Wang Ancestor was the one who spoke. He was a bald monk with many tattoos on his body, "Then, Your Majesty, we will receive you into our humble abode with the best accommodation possible."

"Thank you." Jin Rou answered. Finally, all his trouble might come to an end now.

"Her Majesty Yanlu Rou wants to use that item?" Lu Ancestor and his fellow ancestors were shaken and terrified. The Rou Celestial Family had asked them to keep that item, and they wouldn't retrieve unless a catastrophe that could threaten their universe were to appear.

Now that they were asking it back, did it mean that something of this level happened? So their reactions were justified.

Take note, the Rou Celestial Family was insanely strong. If they needed that item to aid them, it just meant that there's a tough opponent on their way.

"Yes. The Devils of the other universe has infiltrated our universe millions of years ago and planned this for a long time. I think, sooner or later they will initiate an attack and try to bite our pie." Jin Rou said filled with seriousness.

"The Devils of another universe..." As 13 laws true gods, they knew very well the existence of these beasts. They were filled with hatred as they were born from it.

Not to mention, they harbored deep grudges from their fellow universes because of the 'humiliation' they claimed they suffered.

Thinking about this, it was really necessary to use that item.
