The moment she finished speaking, the space behind Blade Emperor rippled.
One after another, six figures stepped out from the void.
The sect masters and elders present were instantly stunned.
The pressure emanating from each of the newcomers was no weaker than Blade Emperor's.
Lord Zuloch stared at them with trembling eyes.
"It's... the Blue Star Team."
"Am I dreaming?"
"How is this possible?"
"They've become far stronger than even the sect masters in only ten days!"
The six members of the Blue Star Team respectfully bowed toward the Ancestor of the Sky Hybrid Sect, who still stood frozen in disbelief.
At that moment, Solanky suddenly felt his bloodline stir violently.
He instinctively turned toward the entrance of the hall.
The empty space there silently parted.
Fifty figures slowly walked out of the void and entered the hall.
Every one of them radiated the aura of a Creation God or a Devil of Destruction.
The moment the various sect masters recognized them, their expressions changed drastically.
Without hesitation, they stepped down from their thrones and respectfully prostrated themselves.
"Greetings, Seniors."
"Greetings, Grand Ancestors."
Solanky and his teammates exchanged shocked glances.
They clearly understood the significance of the title Grand Ancestor.
A Grand Ancestor was the founder of a sect in the God Realm, the pioneer who had established an entire lineage countless ages ago.
A cheerful voice suddenly echoed throughout the hall.
"Hey, little monster. Did you miss me?"
Solanky's eyes widened.
He recognized that voice immediately.
It belonged to Elena.
Before he could react, an even more terrifying pressure descended.
The combined pressure of the fifty Grand Ancestors was instantly suppressed.
Only a single overwhelming aura remained.
Elena slowly walked forward.
She had officially stepped into the Source God Realm.
The elders and sect master of the Sky Hybrid Sect were overjoyed.
Their Grand Ancestor had finally reached the absolute pinnacle of power within their Infinite Source World.
Elena smiled as she looked toward Solanky.
"I didn't expect you to remain in my Sky Hybrid Sect."
She chuckled softly.
"I suppose that's destiny."
The next moment, she appeared beside the Sect Master of the Sky Hybrid Sect.
"Cirolin."
"Why are you still so shocked?"
"You should have realized from the very first day this child entered our sect that he was an anomaly."
Cirolin finally regained her composure.
She respectfully bowed.
"I suppose your return this time is because of them."
Elena nodded.
With a gentle wave of her hand, the entire hall disappeared.
Every living being within it vanished as well.
When everyone regained their bearings, they found themselves standing within an entirely different dimension.
It existed parallel to their current timeline.
However, no alternate versions of themselves existed there.
Elena calmly addressed the Blue Star Team.
"The appearance of six Creation Gods would normally cause a grand celebration throughout the God Realm."
"But this time, your existence must remain hidden."
She slowly looked across each member of the team.
"Listen carefully."
"Reaching the Creation and Destruction Realm is only the beginning of your journey."
"It does not make you invincible."
"If you fail to continue growing, stronger opponents will simply force you into reincarnation again and again."
Everyone silently listened.
A moment later, Elena waved her hand once more.
The entire group returned to the original timeline.
Everyone present felt astonished.
During the brief moment they had disappeared, they had only sensed themselves entering another dimension.
None of them realized that Elena had personally created that alternate timeline.
It existed completely independent of the Infinite Source World.
It required no external energy to sustain itself.
Within that timeline, Elena possessed absolute authority.
Any being erased there would also have every trace of their causality erased from the original timeline.
That was the terrifying authority Source Gods possessed over every existence beneath them.
The Grand Ancestors immediately ordered all of their subordinates to keep everything that had happened completely confidential.
One after another, they introduced themselves to the members of the Blue Star Team.
Star God's gaze eventually settled upon one elderly Grand Ancestor.
He silently thought to himself,
"Could that be the creator of the Star Constellation Annihilating Palm..."
"...Star God Starix?"
The old man smiled as he approached.
"I heard you never received a proper name."
"You were cast out of your clan because you failed their aptitude test."
He sighed.
"I never imagined our Star God Clan would one day produce another Creation God."
He smiled warmly.
"You've proven those stubborn fools wrong."
"They've always worshipped talent while forgetting that miracles can exist."
He looked curiously at Star God.
"Have you already created your miniature universes?"
"And have you developed any techniques you'd be willing to exchange with me?"
Before Star God could answer, Elena walked over with a smile.
"It turned out to be for the best."
"If they had accepted him..."
"...who knows whether he would have ever joined my sect?"
Everyone laughed softly.
They soon returned to the main hall and took their seats.
Elena's expression gradually became serious.
"The birth of six Creation Gods increases our overall military strength against the devils by nearly eighty-five percent."
"This is an excellent beginning."
She sighed.
"I've also received news that Old Man Zenom has successfully obtained the body of an ancient devil-god."
"After becoming a Source God, I learned something unexpected."
She paused briefly.
"The ancient devil-gods never originated from our Infinite Source World."
"They came from beyond it."
"They are exceedingly rare."
"They possess countless mysterious combat methods."
"And among all races..."
"...they are unmatched when it comes to escaping and hiding."
"Even a Source God cannot stop one that truly wishes to flee."
The assembled Grand Ancestors immediately frowned.
"If that's true..."
"...capturing Old Man Zenom after he reappears will be extraordinarily difficult."
At that moment, Solanky stepped forward.
He respectfully bowed.
"I request permission to speak."
The Grand Ancestors had lived for trillions of years.
They had witnessed the birth and destruction of countless universes.
Long ago, they had learned never to underestimate anyone.
Every one of them nodded.
"You may speak."
Solanky calmly said,
"The problem of Old Man Zenom will be handled by my teammates."
"This time..."
"...he will not escape."
The Grand Ancestor of the Sword Heart Sect frowned.
"How can you be so certain?"
"If even a Source God cannot prevent his escape, what confidence do you possess?"
Instead of answering immediately, Solanky looked toward Elena.
She instantly understood.
With a wave of her hand, an isolation barrier enveloped the entire hall.
Only then did Solanky nod toward his teammates.
The six members of the Blue Star Team immediately released their true ancient devil-god forms.
Boom!
An incomparably ancient and primordial aura erupted throughout the hall.
The pressure was so overwhelming that even the assembled Grand Ancestors felt their breathing become difficult.
They struggled to maintain their composure.
One after another, every Grand Ancestor rose to their feet.
Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Ancient..."
"...Ancient Devil-Gods!"
"Peak Creation and Destruction Realm bodies..."
"...with physical strength comparable to an ordinary Source God..."
"This is impossible!"
At that moment, Elena secretly transmitted her voice to Solanky.
"I know you're responsible for this transformation."
"But how did you accomplish something like this?"
"I'm genuinely impressed."
Solanky calmly replied through voice transmission.
"I'll show you after the meeting."
"And don't worry."
"My teammates won't reveal anything."
Elena smiled faintly.
"Good."
"In that case, we'll set aside the matter of Zenom for now."
She looked toward the six members of the Blue Star Team.
"Five thousand years from now, you will begin searching for Old Man Zenom."
"Until the day you capture him..."
"...you are forbidden from revealing your ancient devil-god forms."
The six members of the Blue Star Team nodded simultaneously.
"We understand."
Elena gave an approving nod.
The next moment, she and the fifty Grand Ancestors vanished from the hall.
Only then did the members of the Blue Star Team finally relax.
Meeting the legendary founders of the God Realm's greatest sects had left every one of them overwhelmed with excitement.
