External Posting Appointment

Virtual Universe, Original Zone.

Training ground.

"Simulated scenario: Qiu Long City." With Lin Yan's command, and with Wind Queen's assistance, the training ground quickly transformed into part of a huge city.

Lin Yan stood on the rooftop of an ordinary ten-story building, looking down at the city below, and shouted in a low voice, "Black Hole Sacred Body!"

Boom!

He was covered in a layer of black light armor, with dark gold runes on it, which immediately generated an infinite, terrifying, twisting, Devouring Power!

Lin Yan's eyes held an endless vortex, and he suddenly threw a punch into the air. His fist was covered with a black light layer tens of centimeters thick, like a giant iron hammer.

In that instant, a massive, monstrous phantom faintly appeared on the fist.

"Boom..."

The fist flashed by like a shooting star!

Nine Refinements Fist!

With a single punch, the Universe Space trembled violently and exploded, revealing the terrifying Space Turbulence, with various chaotic fragments of space and turbulent currents surging about.

At the same time!

Centered on that point, the shaking Universe Space spread out in all directions, and the simulated giant city was instantly reduced to ashes in the shockwave.

Lin Yan and the ten-story building beneath his feet remained as stable as pillars amidst countless Space Fragments, as if they had transformed into a majestic mountain in the Space Turbulence in that instant!

Lin Yan smiled, "Sure enough, although I only comprehended a trace of the Space-Time Fusion Law, the power of the secret technique in 'Black Hole Evolution' seems to be stronger now."

He has been back in the Original Secret Realm for over a month. During this time, he has consolidated the trace of the Space-Time Fusion Law that he had comprehended, and has truly grasped the fluctuation of that trace of the Universe Rule.

This is similar to how, when we were at the Stellar level, we sensed the fluctuations of the Universe Origin Law through our "domain".

The Ten Great Basic Laws are fine, but the Fusion Law are completely hidden and integrated into the Laws of Cosmic Operation, so it is extremely difficult to sense the fluctuations of various Fusion Law.

Taking the eight Fusion Law, such as "metal and void", "wood and void",... "light and time", as an example, even the Universe Venerable find it difficult to cultivate them. To fully comprehend one of the Fusion Law is to become the Universe Overlord.

If one comprehends the Heart of the Beast God, one can be said to have fully comprehended the Path of the Beast God, step into the level of "Lord of the Universe", and become Peak Existence in the universe!

This Space-Time Fusion Law more difficult and more powerful.

"Even the thresholds for crossing the Time Law and Law of Light are very different. The gap is even greater in the Space-Time Fusion Law. Although I have only just crossed the threshold of the laws, when used alone, I am comparable to the power of the third level of the Tongtian Bridge."

"Moreover... the creator of the secret techniques in 'Black Hole Evolution' is clearly also someone who comprehended the 'Universe Chaos Stele' and at least has some understanding of the Space-Time Fusion Law."

This can be seen from the phantom of that "Chaos" Monster Phantom.

Lin Yan could sense that "Black Hole Evolution" was the "destruction" aspect of the Space-Time Fusion Law.

He secretly wondered, "Could he be a personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord?"

"Everyone knows that the second disciple of the Chaos City Lord is Venerable Guiyi, but no one has mentioned his eldest disciple. However... it seems that none of the Chaos City Lord's disciples are Universe Lords. If that's the case, perhaps we can truly see the Creator in the future."

Lin Yan smiled and didn't think about it anymore.

"The Space-Time Fusion Law must be continued to be cultivated, because the 'Universe Chaos Stele' mainly expounds on this path. This is not contradictory, but rather the best cultivation route of the Universe Chaos Stele."

This also resolved a question Lin Yan had previously had.

The cultivation path of the "Universe Chaos Stele" is not fixed. There are those who cultivate both space and time like Lin Yan, those who focus on space and use time as a secondary method like Bolan, and those who focus on time and use space as a secondary method.

Although the Chaos Stele is a Supreme Treasure naturally guides others to enlightenment, everyone's experience is different. However, generally speaking, to truly understand a picture is to understand its entirety.

Take the "Rain Drop Diagram" of the "Nine Universes Chaos Stele" as an example. The picture consists of nine raindrops. Only nine raindrops can form a complete Conception. There is no possibility of selective cultivation, and there is no defect in the understanding.

However, the "Universe Chaos Stele" has this difference, which Lin Yan cannot quite understand.

Looking back now, it was precisely because of "change".

The Space-Time Fusion Law are dynamic and full of infinite possibilities, and the same is true of the "Universe Chaos Stele." The same picture can represent different possibilities.

In Lin Yan's eyes, space and time are perfectly combined, thus creating infinite Conception. But in Bolan's eyes, perhaps 108 raindrops and 36 lightning bolts can also create a flawless artistic Conception.

Time flies, and another three months have passed quickly.

"Master, you have a new email." Wind Queen's voice rang in Lin Yan's mind.

"Mail?"

Lin Yan was sitting cross-legged in meditation, immediately connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe Network.

Virtual Universe, Original Zone, Lin Yan Manor.

In the study.

Sitting at his desk, Lin Yan looked at the screen in front of him and quickly opened the email.

"Hmm?" Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.

The email's subject was "Formal Appointment of Domain Lord level Members"!

This external appointment is a test at the Domain Lord level. If Primal Secret Region Member is appointed to an external post, the official position will be extremely high.

Take the "Ganwu Branch" of the Virtual Universe Company in the Ganwu Universe Country as an example. It is mainly divided into the Martial Department, the Commerce Department, and the Military Department. These three ministers are the highest level of the Ganwu Branch.

The Martial Department refers to the large number of powerful individuals directly managed by the Virtual Universe Company, as well as the collection and training of geniuses throughout the Ganwu Universe Country. These are all matters under the Martial Department's jurisdiction.

The Commerce Department, on the other hand, is responsible for commerce, employing hundreds of millions of people and controlling an astonishing amount of capital, involving enormous interests.

These two are the two main parts of the various divisions of Virtual Universe Company.

The 1008 Universe Nations of the human race are governed by the Giant Axe Arena and the Virtual Universe Company, respectively. The Ganwu Universe Country is one of the 504 Universe Country governed by the Virtual Universe Company.

Therefore, a "Military Department" also exists, which is responsible for jointly managing the standing Cosmic Army of the Universe Country.

The weakest Cosmic Army must be at least Cosmic level. Looking at the vast Universe Country... this is at least a Cosmic Army with hundreds of millions of Cosmic level warriors, millions of World Master, and tens of thousands of Immortal God!

To serve as a minister in a branch of a certain Universe Country, the threshold of strength is— Marquis-level Immortal!

The Ganwu Branch wields considerable power within the Ganwu Universe Country, even having significant control over the most important Cosmic Army. This is the status of the Virtual Universe Company within the human race!

Within the Virtual Universe Company, Primal Secret Region Member hold a status comparable to "Marquis-level Immortal," and their official positions correspond accordingly. When Primal Secret Region Member are sent out, their official positions are uniformly "Inspection Envoy," equivalent to the three ministers, and they wield immense real power.

They have supervisory privileges and can oversee the three ministers. If they discover anything, they can report it directly to the company headquarters, which will then handle it.

"After all this time, my appointment has finally come through." Lin Yan shook his head and smiled. Under normal circumstances, the appointment of Primal Secret Region Member is slow, but it will not take more than half a year. However, his appointment has been more than a year in the making.

He silently looked at the contents of the appointment.

"Special Representative of Virtual Universe Company headquarters... and Inspection Envoy Ganwu Branch?"

Lin Yan was speechless.

"What does 'Headquarters Special Representative' mean?" He casually searched for it in the Virtual Universe Network, but couldn't find anything.

It's still a new term!

Lin Yan planned to ask his teacher Mu Xing Country Lord, after he met her. However, judging from the appointment details, the company's top management had arranged for Lin Yan to be transferred to the Ganwu Universe Country.

Once Lin Yan reaches the World Master stage, this position will automatically be relinquished, and he will receive one million points.

During the period of being deployed, the Virtual Universe Company will occasionally issue some special tasks, and each task will be rewarded with corresponding points.

"The appointment has been issued, and I will return to the Ganwu Universe Country on a chosen day." Lin Yan's eyes brightened slightly; as this moment arrived, his heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Lin Yan silently thought to himself, "Not yet."

"I will only go home when my Xue Qiao Clone is fully formed."

He thought of that blue planet and the people he had met there, a hint of anticipation flickering in his eyes.

"There's still something to take care of in the Original Secret Realm."

Lin Yan pursed his lips. "The repairs to the spaceship and the 'Crescent Blade' are not yet complete, and the new weapon I customized at the Virtual Universe Company is still being forged."

The "Jingxuan Sword" that Lin Yan used before was only made of F6-class metal and solidified with the "Nine Vortex Sword" Law Secret Patterns, so it is no longer suitable.

As strength increases, ordinary materials are easily damaged in battles against Immortal God. Even F6-class metal struggles against opponents at the Marquis level.

Moreover... he chose a stronger sword-type secret technique in the subsequent Combat Secret Technique of "Black Hole Evolution," and the previous "Nine Vortex Sword" could only be considered the foundation of this sword-type secret technique.

So, through the Virtual Universe Company, they used the remaining Supreme Treasure Fragment and the top-grade G-class metal "Star Tear Gold" as the main materials, along with some expensive metals, to recast a weapon.

Aside from the materials Lin Yan paid for himself, it still cost over 100 million points, bringing the total value to over 1 billion points. Not only is there no need to worry about damage, but it can also significantly boost Lin Yan's combat power.

The Virtual Universe, "Purple Crystal Island" under the jurisdiction of the Ganwu Continent.

This is the office of the Virtual Universe Company's Ganwu Branch. At the same time as Lin Yan's appointment was issued, the three ministers naturally received the news as well.

Inside the grand hall.

Beside the enormous round table stood three towering thrones, each occupied by a person.

"Lin Yan has already broken through to the Domain Lord level?" the man with an eerily handsome face and three golden feathers on his head asked in surprise.

"He should have broken through to the Domain Lord level long ago!" said the ape-man, who was wearing a purple robe with wisps of lightning around it.

"In a hundred years, he's already reached the 15th level of the Tongtian Bridge at the Cosmic level. What's he doing staying at the Cosmic level?!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with envy and awe.

If I had such talent... no, if I had even a fraction of that talent, I wouldn't need to think about profiting from the Commerce Department. Becoming King Rank would be a simple matter.

Although the head of the Ganwu Branch has a high status, he is only comparable to a genius in the Original Secret Realm. Compared to a monster like Lin Yan, he is naturally far inferior.

"Black Annihilation Marquis, shouldn't they all be assigned to branch offices Inspection Envoy?" The Ape Purple Lightning Marquis looked at the black veiled girl on another throne. "What kind of position is this Special Representative of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters?"

Even Lin Yan, as the Minister of Commerce, was somewhat puzzled by Lin Yan's appointment.

"Haha... Monkey, you really are a fool." The sinister man chuckled.

"You know, so say it!" The ape-man glared coldly at the sinister-looking man.

"This concurrent Inspection Envoy holds real power, while the Headquarters Special Representative is merely a title." A gentle voice rang out, and the gaze of the black veiled girl seemed to subtly distort the surrounding space and time.

"The Inspection Envoy has the authority to investigate many things we do while in office, while the Headquarters Special Representative can represent the Virtual Universe Company. During the period of overseas assignment, even Universe Country Lord would have to weigh the weight of this appointment."

"Holy crap!" Ape Purple Lightning Marquis, exclaimed in shock.

"How much attention must the highest levels of headquarters have to give someone like this title of Domain Lord who has been sent to an outpost?"

The Ape Purple Lightning Marquis was shocked. Although this title did not represent any real power, this was the Ganwu Universe Country. Who would be so audacious as to provoke such an existence?

Even the Qianwu Country Lord cannot ignore the implications behind this identity.

This is outrageous!

"Damn it, what bad luck." The sinister-looking man, Golden Feather Marquis, said in a low voice, "It's been so long since the last time the Ganwu Universe Country sent out an Original Secret Realm Domain Lord level member. I never expected to run into such a dreadful person this time."

It's impossible for people of their status to be completely clean. Even if the accounts are perfect and the evidence is destroyed, the Inspection Envoy will definitely find some problems if he investigates carefully.

Even if the problem isn't serious, dismissal is inevitable.

If it were anyone else, even with oversight privileges, if they dared to investigate relentlessly, they would be forcing the branch manager to become his adversary, which would not only bring them no benefit but could even lead to their assassination!

But Lin Yan...

I wouldn't even dare to think of that; it would be tantamount to courting death.

Purple Lightning Marquis raised an eyebrow. "What are you crying about! At most, the things your Martial Department did are just a matter of redeeming yourself on the Outer Domain Battlefield. If my Commerce Department were to seriously investigate, I reckon you'd be in the Starfield Prison."

Golden Feather Marquis smiled and said, "You're right. I feel much better thinking about it this way."

"Hmph!" The Ape Purple Lightning Marquis snorted coldly, a hint of worry in his eyes. "I just hope that the little bit of friendship we had back then will make Lin Yan show leniency."

When Lin Yan first began to show his talent, they had already considered this day and sent him the Extreme Divine Weapon technique in advance. Furthermore, they have been very dedicated to their cooperative projects with Jiuzhou Company.

If this were an ordinary Primal Secret Region Member, their attitude would be similar.

But who is Lin Yan?

Oh my god, it's my biological father who's here!

They used these things to bribe their superiors?

Which leader wouldn't withstand such a test?

"Alright!"

The woman in black veil frowned and whispered a warning.

"With Lin Yan's talent, even Peak Existence like the Chaos City Lord would definitely be keeping a close eye on him. Now that he has broken through to the Domain Lord level and been sent to the Ganwu Universe Country, our lives and fortunes are in his hands."

"We have no other choice but to rely on his attitude. We must not provoke Lin Yan in any way. You must know that he is currently the Inspection Envoy, but his status will only rise higher in the future. His teacher is the Mu Xing Country Lord!"

"If you dare to have any designs on him, even if he doesn't suffer any real damage, he will probably be sent to the 18th Star Domain Prison and never be reincarnated!"

Both Golden Feather Marquis and Purple Lightning Marquis had their pupils shrink.

Even if Feng Wang Immortal God were to enter the 18th Star Domain Prison, he would still die!

They are the three giants of the Ganwu Branch, with prominent status and immense power!

It far surpasses those ordinary Marquis-level Immortal.

But compared to a genius like Lin Yan, he's just a blade of grass, and the company headquarters wouldn't care at all.

Cosmic level law comprehension is comparable to Marquis. Compared to them, they are not much different. What kind of concept is this?

"Even being dismissed from our posts is better than losing our lives," the woman in black veil said softly. "Even if he really wants to investigate, we have to serve him well."

The ape-man and the blond, sinister-looking man both nodded.

The words may be crude, but the principle is sound: your life is at stake!

Even if it means bleeding myself, I have to help him pull out the knife!

"Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario." The woman in black pointed to the void, where a screen appeared with a detailed plan. "This is the solution I personally devised. Take a look."

The two men watched.

The woman in black veil continued, "This matter is both a bad thing and a good thing."

"To put it bluntly, the company's system of Inspection Envoy is designed to have branches cooperate with the work of outsourced geniuses. It's inevitable that some things will go wrong in this position. If the company really wanted to investigate, why would they send a domain lord?"

"As long as Lin Yan doesn't fall, he has a bright future ahead of him. Letting him have a comfortable and enjoyable time Inspection Envoy is also a way to build a relationship with him."

Golden Feather Marquis and Purple Lightning Marquis exchanged a glance.

Purple Lightning Marquis said with a wry smile, "I don't want to think about the future either. I'll be satisfied if I can get through this."

Lin Yan, far away in the Original Secret Realm, was of course unaware of what had happened.

Back then, he too had ventured into that cosmic expanse. At that time, Stellar level was nothing more than a tiny speck of dust in the cosmos.

The Primordial Universe spanned two hundred years.

It was so short-lived it couldn't have been shorter.

But when he returned to the Ganwu Universe Country and set foot on its land again, he held power in his hands that was second only to the Qianwu Country Lord!
