The summons from the Demon Ancestor is a rare occurrence, usually happening only when significant events unfold.
At the moment when the three were conversing, a terrifying demonic light suddenly swept across the heavens and earth.
Boom! It rumbled like an ocean of demonic might, pouring down and instantly enveloping the area.
In an instant, whether it was the bones of the Supreme of Ten Thousand Bones, the Insect Emperor's nest, or the Evil Ghost Supreme's ghostly lair, all were swiftly pressured, rumbling loudly in response.
The expressions of the three great powerhouses changed slightly.
The Demon Ancestor had descended.
Amidst the vast demonic might, a colossal shadow of the Demon Ancestor rumbled down, and it was none other than the Yuanmo Ancestor.
"We pay our respects to the Demon Ancestor," the three great powerhouses said, bowing deeply.
Currently, the three races had all sided with the Demon Tribe, so naturally, they dared not act recklessly before the Demon Ancestor.
"Very well, you have all arrived," the Yuanmo Ancestor said as he descended, forming a demonic throne beneath him, then seated himself. The three great powerhouses stood respectfully on either side.
"May we inquire why the Demon Ancestor called us here?" they all asked with bowed heads.
"Good," the Yuanmo Ancestor surveyed the three before him and said solemnly, "I called you here today because of Qin Chen, who is working in Tian Gong. I wonder if you have heard of him."
"Qin Chen?" The three great powerhouses were taken aback, each in disbelief.
They had thought the summons would pertain to some important matter, but it turned out to be about a disciple from Tian Gong, which surprised them greatly.
Not to mention that he was merely a disciple, even the entirety of Tian Gong wouldn't warrant their presence unless it was a full-scale assault against the Human Race or directed at the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable himself.
Yet, despite their confusion, they showed no signs of it on their faces.
The three said respectfully, "What you mentioned, Demon Ancestor, is that the one who previously claimed to possess the source of time and defeated over a thousand Tian Gong experts in the Headquarters Secret Realm?"
"Precisely him," the Demon Ancestor nodded. "The human kid named Qin Chen from Tian Gong has been increasing his strength remarkably fast, and his origins are not as simple as you might think."
The three great powerhouses' eyes narrowed. If the Demon Ancestor considered him not simple, then he truly was extraordinary.
Curiosity filled their minds as they wondered what capabilities and background this Qin Chen possessed.
"The reason I summoned you three is that he is currently eliminating our Demon Tribe spies within Tian Gong. This person can control part of the power of the Ancient Universe Tower and can identify our spies," the Yuanmo Ancestor declared.
What?!
The Ancient Universe Tower?!
A storm of shock surged through the hearts of the three great powerhouses.
While they might not have cared about Qin Chen alone, mentioning the Ancient Universe Tower made them tremble.
The Ancient Universe Tower is regarded as the top treasure in the universe, its renown stretching back to the ancient times. Even within the ancient craftsman's guild, it is shrouded in mystery.
It is said that no one could control it in ancient times. In recent millennia, both the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable and even the Carefree Supreme of the human race had attempted to manipulate this Ancient Universe Tower, but none succeeded, drawing speculation from the ten thousand clans.
Everyone guessed that this object might even be a treasure that surpasses the supreme realm.
Otherwise, how could the Carefree Supreme fail to control it?
As leaders of ten thousand clans and the strongest beings, they naturally knew much more than ordinary people. Once such a treasure is mastered, it would allow its possessor to roam the universe and be invincible.
In fact, all races greatly coveted this item, but since it resided within the Headquarters Secret Realm of Tian Gong, located in human territory, no one dared to take action rashly.
