The Death God Divine Hall

The next morning, Patriarch Ye Xie and Matriarch Lan Yue led Lan Ye Qiu to the main hall of the HEAVENS Divine Wolf Clan, where the ancestor resided and cultivated. The air was thick with an otherworldly energy as they approached the entrance of the Death God Divine Hall. Lan Ye Qiu's heart raced with excitement and a hint of trepidation as he stepped into the sacred space.

Inside, the hall was dimly lit, with only a few candles illuminating the room. The ancestor, a level 99 upper demi-god, sat cross-legged on a throne-like chair, exuding an aura of power and wisdom. To the left and right of the ancestor stood the two supreme elders, one at early-level 99 and the other at mid-level 99, their eyes fixed on Lan Ye Qiu with a mixture of curiosity and expectation. The five worshippers, two at level 98 and three at level 97, stood behind the supreme elders, their faces stern and focused.

Lan Ye Qiu felt a surge of awe as he gazed upon the powerful figures before him. He had never seen such a concentration of strength and wisdom in his life. The ancestor's eyes, in particular, seemed to bore into his soul, as if searching for something hidden deep within.

"Greetings, young Lan Ye Qiu," the ancestor said in a voice that was both gentle and commanding. "We have brought you here to test your potential, to see if you have what it takes to become a worthy successor to the Death God mantle."

Lan Ye Qiu nodded, his heart pounding in his chest. He was ready to face whatever lay ahead, determined to prove himself worthy of the clan's trust. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves, and focused on the ancestor's words.

The ancestor continued, "You have shown great promise, Lan Ye Qiu. Your bloodline is strong, and your spirit is fierce. But to become a true Death God, you must possess more than just physical strength. You must have the heart of a warrior, the wisdom of a sage, and the courage of a hero."

Lan Ye Qiu felt a sense of determination wash over him. He was ready to prove himself, to show the ancestor and the supreme elders that he had what it took to become a true Death God.
