Protect Our Clan Leader

It is precisely by relying on mass-producible Origin Crystals, possessing immensely abundant energy, that the Crystal Ancient Tribe was able to develop into such strength, even forces as powerful as the Immortal Alliance struggled to resist.

Members of the Wang family, including Wang Shouzhe, were naturally very interested in the Crystal Ancient Divine Artifact [Heart of the Crystal Source], yet they understood that obtaining such a level of divine artifact could never be simple.

However, since Prince Shaman followed clues and explored all the way here, it indicated that the Heart of the Crystal Source should be within the Realm of Ruin. But the specific location was likely only known to that “Old Master” accompanying them.

Wang Shouzhe immediately ordered the “God Dragon Ring” of Prince Shaman to be separated from the spoils and began interrogating the “Old Master” within.

The “Old Master” initially kept silent, pretending to be dead, but later Wang Chenlun took action, using the Reincarnation Law to forcibly pull him out of the ring, threatening him with being thrown into the Cycle River to wash his brain if he dared to conceal anything.

Given Wang Chenlun’s current state, it was unlikely he could pull True Spirits back from the Cycle River, but throwing people in was easy.

Yet, if he confessed, sparing his life was not out of the question.

This Old Master was already a cluster of Spirit Remnant, existing for who knows how long, yet his spiritual power still reached Level Fifteen standard, purely based on spiritual power, comparable to the Sacred Supreme.

Clearly, he was absolutely a formidable figure when alive.

Under Wang Chenlun’s pressure and torment, he finally revealed the truth.

He was indeed the ancestor of Prince Shaman and a slave under Ma Lin, President of the Council of the Crystal Ancient Tribe. When the Crystal Ancient Tribe faced disaster, he took advantage of the chaos to stab the Crystal Ancient Tribe in the back, plundered massive resources, and fled.

With the immense resources he plundered, he established the Atana Dynasty and expanded it.

However, at his peak, due to excessive tyranny, he was betrayed and usurped by the prince he trusted the most, forcing him to use the Secret Technique learned from the Crystal Ancient Tribe to attach a wisp of Spirit Remnant in the God Dragon Ring and hid it in the ancestral land of the Atana Imperial Household.

Unexpectedly, as time passed, the power of this wisp of Spirit Remnant weakened more and more, finally falling asleep until it was accidentally obtained by Prince Shaman.

After the Divine Soul awoke and perceived his circumstances, he disguised himself as a concerned Old Ancestor for his descendants, continuously supporting Prince Shaman to ascend and later deceived him into searching for the “Heart of the Crystal Source.”

He did this not out of a sudden benevolence wanting to help Prince Shaman but intending to fuse the Spirit Remnant with the divine artifact Heart of the Crystal Source, restore the Spirit Remnant, and conduct a possession, returning to the position of the Atana God Emperor.

After hearing this, the Wang family fell into a silence.

If one’s Spirit Remnant were entrusted in a ring, would they think of a way to possess their descendants?

Clearly, it’s impossible. The family rules, clan teachings, and effectively formed worldview of the Wang family prevent them from committing such acts.

However, for this Old Ancestor of the Atana Tribe to backstab the Crystal Ancient Tribe at the critical moment, it is evidently a selfish, traitorous person, disregarding bloodline ties is not surprising.

Not to mention the current Atana Imperial family, who were likely descendants of that prince who killed and usurped him, he certainly wouldn’t care for them.

It can only be said that the Atana Tribe rose through betrayal and plunder, possibly planting the genes of usurpation and rebellion within the family.

According to Prince Shaman’s account, several generations of Divine Emperors in the Atana Tribe were usurped to ascend.

He was actually considering obtaining the Crystal Ancient Tribe’s divine artifact Heart of the Crystal Source, secretly accumulating power, hoping to succeed naturally or otherwise, conduct a rebellion.

In their subconscious, they did not have much emotional burden regarding usurpation and similar actions.

“Record this story in the clan teaching later.” Wang Shouzhe solemnly instructed Wang Anye, “Use it as a negative example for the clan members to learn from. Once a family catches the gene of betrayal, it can bring endless calamity.”

“Yes, great grandfather.” Wang Anye accepted the command.

Thereafter, the “Old Master” of the God Dragon Ring produced an ancient Void Sea Navigation Map, marking the approximate location of the past “Heart of the Crystal Source.”

Upon acquiring this location, the Wang family was initially delighted.

However, after Wang Baosheng conducted a detailed comparison of the ancient and current navigation maps, researching the marked location, his expression became solemn: “If this old man isn’t lying, the location of this Heart of the Crystal Source is nearly at the center of the Realm of Ruin. That place harbors immense terror.”

Forget it!

Wang Shouzhe sighed, directly abandoning the search for the Heart of the Crystal Source.

Not considering the reliability of the information from the Old Master in the God Dragon Ring, even if this Heart of the Crystal Source truly lay there, the Wang family at this stage could not risk such danger.

For a family, the most crucial thing is not risk-taking to earn vast wealth but surviving steadily and surely.

Wang Shouzhe directly handed over the Old Master of the God Dragon Ring to Wang Chenlun for suppression.

The group of captives, including Prince Shaman, after being forced to condense the [Heritage Crystal Core], were constrained and imprisoned. Once the Spirit Stone mine was established, they would be uniformly sent to dig and atone.

However, during the process of condensing the Heritage Crystal Core, some issues arose.
