NO.1

Wow!

Countless colorful vines gradually contracted, transforming into colorful battle armor, revealing a figure—a lean man with eyes like those of a wild wolf, full of aggressive intent.

He stared at the two figures suspended in mid-air: one was crystal battle armor youth, and the other was a man in golden battle armor.

The lean, aggressive man instantly despaired.

Immortal God!

Not only were there Star Annihilation Cannon, but Immortal God also descended upon us!

Even after killing seventeen directors of the Fire Phoenix Group and sweeping away the Fire Phoenix Group headquarters, he still received no news.

He has always kept a low profile, so who exactly did he offend?

Panxi's face was grim. He said respectfully, "My lords, the Fire Phoenix Group is backed by a prince of the Ganwu Universe Country royalty. We have never made enemies with anyone. Why would you make things difficult for our Fire Phoenix Group?"

"You mean the Seventh Prince?" Lin Yan looked down at him. He had obtained extremely detailed information from the Virtual Universe Company intelligence department and was naturally clear about the Fire Phoenix Group's backing.

The Qianwu Country Lord had many sons, but as time passed, many of them grew old and died, and very few became Immortal God.

The Seventh Prince was one of those princes who achieved Immortal God.

The Fire Phoenix Group and the Seventh Prince do indeed have some connection.

However... Lin Yan didn't care at all. With his status, why should he take a prince of a Universe Country seriously? On the contrary, it was the Seventh Prince who should be having a headache.

Panxi was taken aback.

"He actually knew this secret, and still dared to target the Fire Phoenix Group." Panxi's eyes held a hint of despair. Was the Seventh Prince's status in the Ganwu Universe Country not worth his fear?

"I have never had any enmity with either of you. I don't know what the Fire Phoenix Group did wrong. Please tell me. If there is anything I can do to help, I, Panxi, will do my best to assist you." Panxi knelt down and said respectfully.

Those things that are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!

This has brought such a great disaster upon us!

He, Panxi, was flexible and adaptable, and naturally demanded a way to survive.

"We have never had any enmity with each other."

"But the billions of Universe Citizen who were captured and sold by the Fire Phoenix Group through your dark methods suffered because of you!"

Lin Yan's eyes were icy cold, and his voice was majestic. "Today, I represent Virtual Universe Company to judge the Fire Phoenix Group and clean up the chaos. As the true leader of the Fire Phoenix Group, why do you claim to be innocent?"

"Virtual Universe Company?" Panxi's eyes widened in horror.

Oh my god!

How could it be Virtual Universe Company?

This is a super power that has made many Universe Country submit!

Lin Yan took a step forward.

Pointing his left hand at Panxi, he saw blood-red Leaf Vine shoot out instantly, and at the same time, one after another, bright red petals bloomed, each with a diameter of over several kilometers. The edges of the slender petals resembled sharp serrations, and one could even vaguely see black, cold teeth inside the flowers.

The piercing screams emanated from the vibrant flowers, and the spatial distortion caused by the sound waves could be seen with the naked eye.

"This..." Panxi was immediately moved upon seeing this scene, "Could this be Sha Luo Flower?"

He's dumbfounded!

Could it be because his treasure was exposed?

Panxi immediately dismissed the idea. He had always been very careful and had never revealed the treasure. He rarely even used the Plant Lifeform "Iron Vine Grass." When he did use it, it was to kill the enemy instantly. Even if the other party was from the Virtual Universe Company, it would be impossible for them to detect it.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have waited until today.

Boom!

Vibrant flowers, exuding an aura of endless evil, surged toward Panxi, their gaping maws seemingly leading to the depths of hell.

"Iron Vine, block it." Panxi controlled the World Lord ninth stage Iron Vine Grass through mental communication.

Countless colorful vines flew out from his hands, instantly filling the surrounding area for several kilometers with all kinds of vines. These tough vines instantly wrapped around Lin Yan's Sha Luo Flower.

Gate frowned slightly from a distance.

Iron Vine Grass is a very common Plant Lifeform, extremely cheap, and its strength is far weaker than other Plant Lifeform of the same level and rank, at most slightly better than humans of the same level and rank.

Generally, the limit for cultivating Iron Vine Grass is to reach "Stellar level nine".

It's a miracle that Panxi was able to cultivate the Iron Vine Grass to the ninth level of the World Lord level!

"Splash..."

The Sha Luo Flower and the Iron Vine Grass spread across thousands of kilometers of starry sky, fighting each other, while the Iron Vine Grass almost collapsed at the slightest touch.

"How is that possible?" Panxi looked astonished.

Iron Vine Grass is certainly far inferior to Sha Luo Flower, a fact he himself is well aware of, but how could it not be to the point of being utterly powerless to resist?

He hesitated, seeing the predicament he was in, and gritted his teeth inwardly.

Wow!

A large number of blood-red Leaf Vine shot out from his body in an instant, and one after another, enchanting blood-red flowers appeared in the starry sky.

World Lord ninth stage... Sha Luo Flower!

Gate's expression turned strange.

What kind of magical plot twist is this?

That leader of the Fire Phoenix Group actually has a World Lord ninth stage Sha Luo Flower, just like His Highness?

If Iron Vine Grass is a common, cheap, and low-level Plant Lifeform, Sha Luo Flower is quite rare, known for its strong attack power and ability to devour.

Cultivating Plant Lifeform is an extremely extravagant endeavor. Cultivating these two types of World Lord ninth stage Plant Lifeform would cost more than 100,000 Hun Yuan Unit, a sum that even ordinary Immortal God do not possess.

The leader of the Fire Phoenix Group would be lucky to have dozens of Hun Yuan Unit in assets. How could he possibly cultivate these two Plant Lifeform?

Lin Yan found it amusing.

You don't know until you compare, and the difference is astonishing.

Compared to Lin Yan's "Sha Luo Flower," which was cultivated to its perfect limit and possessed ten times the Gene Level, Panxi 'Prison Race Sha Luo Flower was like a rich and handsome man meeting a high-class gentleman around the corner—the contrast was extremely stark.

However, Panxi was able to cultivate two World Lord peak Plant Lifeform, entirely thanks to the Loch God Water.

Lin Yan Yanyao looked at Panxi and thought to himself, "You clearly discovered that Loch God Water has such effects, and cultivating a World Lord peak Plant Lifeform is just a drop in the ocean, yet you've ended up like this, doing these low-level businesses that violate the law, just to earn a little money. Who can you blame for your death?"

"You deserved to die!"

In Lin Yan's eyes, Panxi was practically a child with cerebral palsy.

Instead of finding a way to utilize the family's wealth, they insisted on stealing coal and ended up being caught and hanged.

Lin Yan found it hard to understand how Panxi could have lived such a shabby life when she was so weak, having obtained such a useful and precious treasure as "Loch God Water" in such large quantities.

"Hehehehehe!" The Sha Luo Flower looked at the two little brothers opposite it and seemed a little excited. One after another, enchanting flowers moved as fast as lightning, enveloping the two Plant Lifeform of Panxi in a drunken boxing match.

They were having a great time.

"What kind of Plant Lifeform is this? It looks somewhat similar to the Sha Luo Flower, but it is extremely powerful and resilient, and it has 512 main vines. In the fight against it, my two Plant Lifeform were completely defeated!" Panxi's expression changed drastically.

We are all ninth-tier Plant Lifeform of the World Lord ninth stage, so why is yours so outstanding?

In fact.

The cost of cultivating Plant Lifeform is so high, yet many powerful individuals are still willing to invest in it, and there is a reason for that.

When Lin Yan's Sha Luo Flower is cultivated to its perfect limit, each main vine is several times stronger than that of a human powerhouse of the same level and rank. At the seventh level of the World Lord level, it is enough to rival 512 peak human World Lord peak powerhouses.

After enhancing Life Gene Level through the "Prison King Strange Flower," killing ordinary Immortal God is not difficult.

The battle now appears to be a case of Panxi's two Plant Lifeform being easily defeated; in fact, the Sha Luo Flower has not exerted its full power at all.

"Ah!"

Panxi's Sha Luo Flower emitted a piercing wail, and each bright flower exploded open.

Lin Yan couldn't stand it anymore; this was too much of a disservice to Plant Lifeform.

"Sha Luo!" Lin Yan shouted, looking at the distant starry sky.

Stop fighting, just give them their lives.

The Sha Luo Flower was immediately put into use.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

An incredibly terrifying aura spread out, and the Prison Race's "Sha Luo Flower" spread out in all directions at a frenzied speed, growing to an enormous size, and actively pounced on them.

Whether it was Iron Vine Grass, Sha Luo Flower, or Panxi, they were all completely covered.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..." The blood-red Leaf Vine, completely intertwined, compressed wildly.

Compress it as much as possible.

Bound and squeezed by the blood-red Leaf Vine, Panxi was terrified and before she could even utter a sound of return, her bones shattered and her body completely collapsed. Subsequently, the bodies of the two Plant Lifeform also began to collapse.

The petals, covered in sharp serrations, relentlessly cut and were pulverized and devoured under the onslaught of what resembled "a series of sharp mouths."

Done!

The blood-red Leaf Vine rapidly shrank, carrying with them a large number of items left behind by Panxi, and then contracted back into Lin Yan's body.

Lin Yan scanned the numerous miscellaneous items and spotted a beautifully carved silver plaque among them. He immediately stored the items in his World Ring, then touched the blood-red vines of the Sha Luo Flower and said with a smile, "When you reach immortality, I'll give you a new name."

If Wind Queen heard this, he would definitely be terrified.

But the Sha Luo Flower is still inexperienced in the ways of the world. Although it likes the "Soul Hall style wild laughter", its heart is still very pure.

The vine's leaves swayed up and down as if nodding, proudly twisting its vine body before merging into Lin Yan's body.

"Now that this matter is resolved, we should head to the banquet." Lin Yan looked at Gate and smiled. "If we hadn't shown up soon, the three ministers would have been worried sick."

Although his operation was brief, it did involve the intelligence department of Virtual Universe Company, and required Virtual Universe Company personnel to clean up the mess and transform the slave planets left behind by the Fire Phoenix Group, a malignant tumor, into normal Life Planet.

Therefore, the three ministers of the Ganwu Branch certainly knew about it.

And he carefully sent an email, saying that according to the usual practice, a welcoming banquet needed to be prepared, through which Lin Yan's current identity and status would be announced to the upper echelons of the entire Ganwu Universe Country.

If Lin Yan has the time, they need to prepare in advance.

"His Highness's first act upon returning was to wipe out the Fire Phoenix Group, which will indeed send a bad signal to those three ministers," Gate chuckled. "It's good to let them worry and be afraid for a few days."

Although Gate' strength was not as great as the three ministers, he was not far from becoming Feng Wang Immortal God. Moreover, having been in the Original Secret Realm, the core of humanity, for a long time, he understood Lin Yan's status even more.

Compared to His Highness's status, those three ministers are nothing.

"Let's go." Lin Yan smiled slightly.

Whoosh!

The Emperor Ship hovered in the starry sky, and at the same time, its hatch opened with a whoosh.

The two flew into the spaceship, which, resembling a ferocious bird, drew an arc and quickly flew into the cosmos.

The Ganwu Branch of the Virtual Universe Company holds a very Transcendent position within the Ganwu Universe Country.

Because the Ganwu Branch represents the Virtual Universe Company in managing the entire Ganwu Universe Country! Although it is nominally under the Qianwu Country Lord, even the Qianwu Country Lord has to obey the Virtual Universe Company.

Any country, any family, any organization that wants to develop must cooperate with Virtual Universe Company.

The three ministers naturally held a prestigious position.

However, the three ministers at this moment did not show any signs of high status.

"This ancestor has finally replied." Golden Feather Marquis was quite relieved.

"If it weren't for mobilizing personnel from the Virtual Universe Company to take over those slave planets in the Cui Lang Starfield, we wouldn't have known that he had quietly returned to the Ganwu Universe Country," said the Ape Purple Lightning Marquis.

The Original Secret Realm is very far from the Ganwu Universe Country. Even with a very powerful spaceship, it would take one or two years to reach it.

"It seems our young Inspection Envoy is a very righteous person." The gentle voice of the black veiled girl voice rang out, and the expressions of Golden Feather Marquis and Purple Lightning Marquis both changed slightly.

They are afraid of those with a sense of justice.

"However, the Fire Phoenix Group has nothing to do with us, so we don't need to think about it for now. We'll have to wait until we actually get in touch with this Humanity's Strongest Genius to find out his attitude."

The black veiled girl warned, "Anyway, we'll just keep one attitude: if he says we're wrong, then we're wrong. If we're wrong, we'll admit it and not argue back. We'll try our best to give him a good impression. Even if we lose our jobs, we won't end up in a bad situation."

"Right."

They also understood that as long as Lin Yan didn't perish, he would almost certainly become Venerable level being in the future, and he was highly valued by the company's top management. Provoking him was simply courting death.

"Monkey, you're in charge of the Commerce Department, so you'd better do a good job with this welcoming banquet," said Golden Feather Marquis. "We must make Lin Yan's identity clear and let the high-ranking officials of the Ganwu Universe Country know our stance. This is no small matter."

The Ape Purple Lightning Marquis, said confidently, "Yes! Leave this to me."

He asked, "Where will it be held?"

"Lin Yan said that among the nine administrative stars of the Ganwu Universe Country, his location is closest to Fengtian Star, so the event will be held on Fengtian Star in a month," the woman in black veil said.

"Okay, no problem." As the Minister of Commerce, the Ape Purple Lightning Marquis was most adept at handling these kinds of matters.

As the invitations were sent out, the highest levels of the entire Ganwu Universe Country were in an uproar!

"An invitation from the Ganwu Branch?"

"Headquarters Inspection Envoy join the Ganwu Branch? Who could it be? Could it be Lin Yan, the peerless genius who emerged in the Genius Battle two hundred years ago?"

"Could it be that he has become a domain lord in such a short time?"

"We can't refuse a banquet hosted by the Three Giants!"

Although the welcoming banquet was not large in scale, it was of a very high level. Apart from Three Hundred Marquises and a very few powerful Immortal God families, no one else was qualified to receive an invitation.

After all...

At this level, only others are looking forward to meeting the Three Giants of the Ganwu Branch and the Inspection Envoy, not for Lin Yan to make friends with others. If just anyone is invited to join in the fun, wouldn't it create a mess?

Those who received the invitation were all top figures in the Ganwu Universe Country.

For a time, this invitation could be considered a symbol of status!

Within the starry sky territory of the Barbaric Universe Country, in the "Space Interlayer" corresponding to a certain star, lies a vast divine kingdom.

A magnificent and boundless divine kingdom, high above all.

Inside the majestic temple.

A green-skinned man with a black horn walked swiftly on the crystal-clear ground, his footsteps echoing through the corridor. At the same time, his figure was ethereal, and in just a few seconds he arrived hundreds of kilometers away in front of a golden gate that exuded a chilling aura.

"Boom..." The green-skinned man pushed the door open and entered with a loud bang.

The green-skinned man entered the hall.

Besides the green-skinned man, there was only one other person in the vast hall. It was a figure shrouded in a golden robe, sitting alone cross-legged.

"Hmm?" The Golden-Robed Man looked up, his eyes sharp as swords, and fell on the green-skinned man.

"Owner!"

The green-skinned man immediately knelt down.

"Speak," the Golden-Robed Man said indifferently.

"We have received intelligence that the Virtual Universe Company headquarters has dispatched Inspection Envoy to its branch in the Ganwu Universe Country. Based on our assessment, there is an over 80% chance that this envoy is No. 1," the green-skinned man said respectfully.

This magnificent divine kingdom is the location of the Zerg Infiltration Organization.

The way intelligence is disseminated relies on the Virtual Universe of humanity to ensure such strong timeliness.

To avoid detection, these messages require hundreds of code conversions and character changes corresponding to cosmic coordinates to extract the intelligence content, yet they are still frequently cracked, resulting in heavy losses for the Alien Race.

"No. 1?" The Golden-Robed Man was startled and immediately stood up. "Lin Yan?"

"Yes, Master. In a month, the Ganwu Branch will hold a welcome banquet for the Inspection Envoy on Fengtian Star." The green-skinned man said respectfully.

"According to the normal appointment of Virtual Universe Company, this Inspection Envoy will be active in the Ganwu Universe Country for a long time."

The Golden-Robed Man said solemnly, "Continue to gather all relevant information. Number 1 is very important; we must have absolutely certain information before we can take action."

"Yes!"

The green-skinned man said respectfully.

They infiltrate Human territory, and one of their most important missions is... to eliminate extremely threatening geniuses!

Once deemed extremely threatening, if these peerless geniuses are not killed before they truly rise to power, once they become Immortal God... most will directly be granted the Marquis level, and some will even quickly grow into Feng Wang level Immortal.

Therefore, the losses that the Feng Wang Immortal God will inflict on them on the Outer Domain Battlefield will be extremely terrible.

And according to the degree of threat, there is naturally a ranking.

This ranking assesses the threat level of all geniuses (not yet at the Immortal level) from the five major forces, including the Human territory Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena. Because the World Lord level comprehend the laws the fastest and make astonishing progress, those World Lord level geniuses are ranked higher.

When Lin Yan was at the Cosmic level, even back in Chaos City, his threat ranking was already set as "NO.1"!

Recognized by the Zerg Infiltration Organization as "the Humanity's most dazzling genius," he surpasses even World Lord level geniuses, not to mention geniuses like Ke Di who are said to have emerged "over a hundred million epochs ago."

Several years ago, they received intelligence that terrified them.

He conquered Tongtian Bridge 15th floor Cosmic level, Law Comprehension was comparable to that of Marquis-level Immortal God!

This rate of progress is truly astonishing.

The greater the threat, the higher the price the Zerg are willing to pay!

The Golden-Robed Man hurriedly headed to the highest level of the temple. The organization had instructed him that no intelligence concerning "NO.1" should be ignored.

The strongest genius in Human history cannot be eliminated by the organization alone; only by personally dispatching powerful members of the clan can such a terrible threat be eradicated!
