I Am Lin Yan

Dark Universe.

The black, triangular-shaped spaceship was moving forward at an astonishing speed. Because the territory of the Ganwu Universe Country was so vast, it had established nine first-level administrative stars, each serving as the political center for nearly a thousand surrounding star regions.

Although Fengtian Star is the closest to Cui Lang Starfield, it is still tens of millions of light-years away. Lin Yan is not in a hurry and does not travel at the maximum speed of Hundredfold Light Speed. He just wants to arrive before the welcoming banquet.

All the Guard Army remained silently in their rest cabins.

Inside the main rest cabin, forged from G-class metal, Lin Yan held a beautifully carved silver plaque in his hand. A wisp of World Power forcefully penetrated it, quickly breaking through the Spiritual Imprint left by Panxi and imprinting Lin Yan's Spiritual Imprint.

"Master, have you discovered something?" Wind Queen asked in confusion.

I always felt that my owner was mysterious.

"There really is." Lin Yan smiled.

With a thought, his figure disappeared from the rest pod and directly entered the A World by the silver plaque.

Wow!

Lin Yan hovered in the air, looking down at what was below. It was a very A World, about 100 kilometers in circumference. Apart from the plains, the only A World was a lake in the center of the plains.

It was a lake with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. The water in the lake was extremely cold and was emitting a chill that permeated the entire A World.

"This cold air is comparable to most areas inside the Ice Mountain. However, if you can withstand the cold of the Ice Mountain, it will be beneficial to your body. If you can't, it will destroy your body's genes and cells."

"But the invisible cold air in this small world is not like that. It contains a very high level of 'life energy,' and its effects are even more powerful than the Life Fruit, which is very beneficial for cultivation."

Lin Yan felt much more comfortable. The cold air penetrated his body, making him feel lighter and more energetic. Even his Origin Core seemed to be nourished and nurtured.

"Master, what incredible luck you have!" Wind Queen exclaimed in shock.

Upon discovering the lake, her almond-shaped eyes widened instantly.

My God!

How could it be Loch God Water?

So much Loch God Water!

She quickly used her detection instruments to sense the size of the entire lake. The lake's surface was an irregular circle, with a maximum diameter of 16.2 kilometers and a minimum diameter of 10.3 kilometers. The lake's depth was 3.2 kilometers. With her sensing and detection capabilities, she instantly determined the lake's accurate volume.

——712 cubic kilometers!

How could they obtain such a treasure by simply eliminating the insignificant Fire Phoenix Group and killing Panxi, a third- World Lord level?

Wind Queen: I don't understand!

What's the difference between this and hunting wild boars in the beginner village to get powerful items?

"Master, this is Loch God Water!"

"If calculated according to the auction price of the Universe Country, it is worth more than 6 billion Hun Yuan Unit! Even if purchased from the Virtual Universe Company, it would be around 4 to 5 billion points!" Wind Queen said excitedly.

This money came way too easily.

The reason why the value of the Virtual Universe Company's purchase did not drop too much is because the Loch God Water is not a particularly rare treasure in the vault.

The purchasing power of points becomes more apparent at higher-end levels.

Like Lin Yan's "Star Tear Gold", because of its high-end nature, its auction price is dozens of times that of the Virtual Universe Company's treasure vault!

Of course, the auction of the Universe Country was jointly organized by the five major powers and the Universe Country, and the items in the auction were also intentionally controlled by these major powers.

Lin Yan, having been mentally prepared, remained relatively calm and said with a smile, "Perhaps good people are rewarded."

Wind Queen rolled her eyes at him; this had nothing to do with "good deeds being rewarded."

Even Virtual Universe Company was unaware of Panxi's extraordinary encounter, demonstrating their caution.

If he had a few hundred units of Hun Yuan Unit wealth, that would be an unexpected gain. But to obtain billions of units of Hun Yuan Unit wealth from him is an incredible stroke of luck!

Looking down at the Loch God Water Lake, Lin Yan thought to himself, "Although the Loch God Water Lake is extremely valuable and has a wide range of uses, its value would decrease if I were to sell it, and it wouldn't be easy to make full use of it if I were to use it myself."

The auction price for one cubic kilometer is 8.9 million Hun Yuan Unit, but it is impossible for 712 cubic kilometers to sell for 6.3 billion.

Things are valued for their rarity.

This Loch God Water has a powerful effect on Immortal Plant Lifeform, and it is extremely easy to cultivate Plant Lifeform to the World Lord ninth stage. 10 million Hun Yuan Unit of Loch God Water are enough to cultivate hundreds of World Lord ninth stage Plant Lifeform.

However, breaking through to immortality is not so easy; otherwise, Panxi would have already reached immortality with his Iron Vine Grass and Sha Luo Flower after so many years of cultivation.

Certainly!

With the help of the Loch God Water, the probability of Plant Lifeform breaking through to immortality will greatly increase.

He thought to himself, "The Loch God Water has many uses, so there's no need to sell it. Its main purpose is to cultivate Plant Lifeform."

"In the original novel, Luo Feng didn't actually make good use of this treasure."

In the original novel, after Luo Feng obtained the Loch God Water, he merely cultivated three Star Eater Grass to the World Lord level using different cultivation methods, and left 10 million Hun Yuan Unit of Loch God Water with his family on Earth.

His progress was so rapid that many of the precious treasures he was reluctant to sell turned out to be completely useless.

"I've essentially snatched it up ahead of time, so I can't be too selfish."

In terms of wealth, Lin Yan is far more wealthy than Luo Feng and the others. While they had tens or hundreds of thousands of Hun Yuan Unit in assets, Lin Yan already had hundreds of billions.

Although Lin Yan understood that interfering too much would be detrimental to their growth, there were some things he had to consider for them.

The reason he came to collect the "Loch God Water" ahead of time was not because he was greedy and treacherous.

After all, with Lin Yan's existence, many things in this world will change. The Ganwu Universe Country is so vast that the Virtual Universe Company's mission for Luo Feng may not still be to judge the Fire Phoenix Group. With this time interval of hundreds of years, Panxi may encounter unexpected events along the way if she is unlucky.

That would be far too pedantic.

"If I use this Loch God Water myself, I won't even need a tiny fraction of it," Lin Yan decided. "I'll share some with Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God to help them grow."

"And a portion of them remained on Earth."

"And the vast majority of the remaining ones have even greater uses!"

Lin Yan smiled slightly.

Loch God Water is a precious treasure for nurturing Plant Lifeform, so of course it should be used to nurture Plant Lifeform.

His "Jiuzhou Company," which he set up in the Virtual Universe, launched a "tea" beverage that became very popular due to its novelty and uniqueness, earning him a lot of profits.

Lin Yan believes that the potential of "tea" is far more than just this.

However, its influence is limited by the online market within the Virtual Universe.

To put it more clearly, we must move from the virtual to the real, and then let the real influence the virtual!

Why does wine have such high value?

Wines with thousands ten thousand Hun Yuan Units are commonplace, and some can even reach a price of hundreds of billions of Hun Yuan Unit. The most extravagant is the "Ice Fire Fruit Wine" of the Ancestor God Cult, which is no less than an Ordinary Supreme Treasure.

There are countless fine wines in the universe, but a wine that tastes good on its own wouldn't be so expensive.

Because they possess the remarkable ability to alter physical genes, they can improve the body and soul, and even enhance the clarity of one's Law Sense.

That "Ice Fire Fruit Wine" is the essence extracted from 128,000 Ice Fire Fruit, and its taste is absolutely exquisite.

The Ice Fire Fruit is only born once per era in the Ancestor God Secret Realm. Eating one allows one to inherit portions of the "Water Law" and the "Law of Fire," giving a World Master a 50% chance of becoming an Immortal!

It is one of the most precious treasures in the universe.

Five-Colored Stars, Thunder Rain Wine, Immortal Drunk, and so on... These fine wines are popular in the real world, which drives their sales in the Virtual Universe.

Some people can't afford to drink it in real life, so they spend one-thousandth of the price in the Virtual Universe to experience it. Even if it doesn't have the same effect as in real life, it is exactly the same in terms of physical and spiritual feelings.

Of course, drinking these kinds of drinks in Virtual Universe is too extravagant, and only a very few people would do it occasionally.

The most important market is still "reality"!

Lin Yan's plan was simple: the greatest value of the Loch God Water Lake lay in cultivating Plant Lifeform, so he would use it to cultivate tea trees!

By cultivating tea and developing new tea varieties, and eventually producing teas that are themselves treasures, the profits that can be earned will reach an unimaginable level, making it a true money tree!

In fact, he had considered this matter a long time ago and had made arrangements for it.

However, limited by its own capital, Jiuzhou Company could only invest a lot of money in the Virtual Universe to cultivate a precious tea tree. Although the yield was extremely low, it was undoubtedly an excellent treasure called "Undying Medicine"!

Now that we have obtained this "Loch God Water Lake," we can cultivate this tea tree in reality and continue to promote progress in this area, making new strategic plans.

Once various rare tea varieties are cultivated, as long as the tea itself has strong product quality, it won't be difficult for Lin Yan, with his status, to promote it within the circle of powerful individuals.

Since Luo Feng and his group own shares in "Jiuzhou Company," they can naturally benefit from it as well.

Inside the Emperor Ship.

Sitting in the rest cabin, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of joy as he thought about this.

He placed the three Star Eater Grass and the Konota Tree Spirit he had cultivated into the "Loch God Water Lake" in that Small World, assigned a Green Line Devouring Worm clone to supervise them, and with the assistance of Wind Queen's attached intelligence, observed their evolutionary process and provided other resources to promote evolution when appropriate.

Then he put the silver plaque into the World Ring made of Star Tear Gold, and finally put it into the Hun An Inner World.

His important treasures are all stored in this way, one world after another, making it very difficult for them to be lost or exposed due to any problem.

"With the Loch God Water Lake, the evolution speed of these four Plant Lifeform should be much faster. I have all the resources. I just hope to evolve them to the immortal level as soon as possible so that they can be of use to me."

Lin Yan smiled and then stopped thinking about it.

Settle down and begin your cultivation.

29 days later.

After waking Lin Yan, Gate went to the control room.

"Your Highness!" Ten World Lord peak guards bowed respectfully.

Gate smiled and pointed to the starry sky outside, "Your Highness, look, that is Fengtian Star."

Standing in the control room, Lin Yan looked out at the distant, seemingly shimmering blue planet in the vast starry sky through the simulated view. It was incredibly beautiful.

"What a beautiful planet," Lin Yan couldn't help but exclaim.

Gate smiled and explained, "Your Highness, this Fengtian Star is a planet that was specially created in the Divine Kingdom. It was not formed naturally, so it is indeed exceptionally beautiful."

"Mm." Lin Yan nodded.

As a planet holding an important position in the Ganwu Universe Country, its status as a first-level administrative star has attracted countless Universe Country World Master families and even immortal families to settle here.

With powerful figures everywhere and numerous powerful families, ordinary planets cannot withstand the consequences if trouble arises.

That's why it was manufactured by hand and the materials used were very luxurious, so that it could withstand even a great battle Immortal God.

When the Emperor Ship approached the atmosphere of Fengtian Star, the planet's docking port did not send it a traction signal.

Although the management of Fengtian Star is extremely strict, ships of this level definitely belong to extremely powerful figures, so exceptions are possible.

Moment.

Lin Yan's vision was filled with incredibly prosperous cosmic cities, each city showcasing a perfect blend of technology and nature, with the most representative building being a towering mega-skyscraper that pierced the clouds.

Lin Yan looked at the building and said softly, "I've heard about the 'Planet Building' of the Ganwu Universe Country for a long time, but I only have the opportunity to see it in person today."

"Indeed quite famous," Gate said with a smile.

This building covers a vast area and was designed to house billions of people.

The total population of a typical Life Planet is only this much, so this building is named "Planet Building". Especially since it is located on a first-level administrative planet like Fengtian Star, this Planet Building has an amazing reputation in the Ganwu Universe Country.

You should know that even the most ordinary residence on Fengtian Star could buy a Life Planet in some star systems.

Fengtian Star, Tianxin City.

Dongcheng is a core area with a diameter of over 10,000 kilometers.

Just a month ago, this place was an important gathering place for members of the Virtual Universe Company. However, within this month, the core area was quickly demolished, and the members were relocated to other, less desirable locations.

And they quickly built an extremely luxurious and elegant manor here, named "Lin Manor".

Once any Inspection Envoy appointed, the Virtual Universe Company will help build a residence for them.

As one of the Ganwu Branch's Four Great Leaders, with a status equivalent to the three ministers, in a place like Fengtian Star where a slightly large manor can be comparable to a star system, normally, the scale of his mansion should be comparable to that of the Three Hundred Marquises and marquises of the Ganwu Universe Country. Building a luxurious manor spanning thousands of kilometers would already be in line with his status.

However, when the Ape Purple Lightning Marquis was handling this matter, he didn't even think about it before raising the scale to this level.

After all... Lin Yan's position Inspection Envoy is concurrent; his greater title is Special Representative of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters. His words and actions can fully represent the will of the Virtual Universe Company!

Let alone Fengtian Star, even in the Imperial Capital Star of the Ganwu Universe Country, the scale of the mansion cannot be any less!

This is no longer just about Lin Yan's personal reputation, but about the reputation of the Ganwu Branch, and even the reputation of the entire Virtual Universe Company headquarters!

And at this moment.

A grand welcoming banquet is being prepared at the Lin Manor.

The manor was built in just five days by Virtual Universe Company, but preparations for this welcoming banquet took a full month.

The three ministers of the Ganwu Branch went to great lengths to prepare for this welcoming banquet, having transported a large quantity of precious ingredients from other parts of the universe.

At the same time.

Because many of the Three Hundred Marquises and nobles of the Ganwu Universe Country, as well as some other powerful Immortal God families, are far away from Fengtian Star, it takes a month for those important figures to arrive.

It was already dark.

The entire Lin Manor was faintly illuminated by light. One after another, incredibly expensive spaceships were parked above the main entrance of the Lin Manor. Immortal God then stepped out of the hatches and entered through the main entrance in a very formal manner.

The main banquet hall.

The three giants of the Ganwu Branch stood there, gazing at the distant horizon. Powerful auras of law rippled outwards, some as dazzling as light, some as fierce as lightning, some as majestic as the earth, and some as scorching and raging as flames!

The laws permeated the air, causing the surrounding space to subtly distort and vibrate.

Finally.

One powerful figure after another appeared in the distance.

The important figures from the Ganwu Universe Country were dressed in various styles: some wore long gray robes with flowing hair and bare feet; others wore noble and magnificent robes; some wore immortal armor imbued with the scent of blood; some rode shrunken immortal beasts; and some were completely shrouded in robes, with only their eyes showing...

This group of powerful Immortal God, mostly of the Marquis level, walked in twos and threes, chatting with friends and keeping their distance from enemies, toward the main hall of the banquet hall.

"Golden Feather Marquis, Purple Lightning Marquis, Black Annihilation Marquis!"

A curly-haired man in a magnificent dark gold robe walked at the head of the group of Immortal God, laughing loudly. He soon arrived at the entrance of the main banquet hall and greeted them.

"Dragon Wing King, haha, it's been a long time since we last met, hasn't it?" the Ape Purple Lightning Marquis laughed heartily.

This Dragon Wing King is one of the Ganwu Universe Country's Three Hundred Marquis.

The Ganwu Universe Country has a total of 32 kings and 268 marquises! They are collectively known as the Three Hundred Marquises!

However, these kings and marquises were appointed by the Ganwu Universe Country, so their prestige is much lower. These Three Hundred Marquises are all Marquis-level Immortal God.

Dragon Wing King looked around, somewhat puzzled. "Purple Lightning Marquis, wasn't today's banquet a welcome banquet for the Inspection Envoy dispatched by the Virtual Universe Company headquarters?"

"Why haven't we seen this Inspection Envoy?"

He chuckled and said, "To be able to Inspection Envoy of the Ganwu Branch, one must be an unparalleled genius of the Virtual Universe Company. You must introduce me to him."

Purple Lightning Marquis said with a smile, "Dragon Wing King, please wait in the banquet hall. The Inspection Envoy will be arriving soon."

Not there yet?

Dragon Wing King's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything. He then led two of his subordinates into the banquet hall, guided by the banquet hall staff.

Then another Immortal God came over and greeted the three giants of the Ganwu Branch warmly.

One after another, Immortal God arrived with their subordinates, and the three leaders of the Ganwu Branch received them one by one.

Finally, nearly a thousand Immortal God guests had entered the banquet hall, sitting in twos and threes, whispering among themselves.

"This Inspection Envoy from the Ganwu Branch certainly has quite the grand entourage!"

Someone scoffed, "The three leaders of the Ganwu Branch are welcoming guests, and we are all already seated. The host of this welcoming banquet hasn't even arrived yet. Does he really think our face is worthless?"

These Feng Wang Immortal God have been granted titles, hold high positions and great power in the Ganwu Universe Country. Even the ministers of the Ganwu Branch have to be mindful of their reputation.

However, the newly arrived Inspection Envoy seemed to completely disregard them.

Instead of personally greeting the guests, they were made to wait here.

This made them all very unhappy.

"I probed him a couple of times earlier, and this Inspection Envoy should be an unparalleled genius from the Virtual Universe Company's Original Secret Realm, and is very likely Lin Yan, who won the last Genius Battle!"

Someone asked, "What Lin Yan?"

"In the last Genius Battle, the winner of the entire universe was Lin Yan from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain, from our Ganwu Universe Country."

Given their status and fame over countless years, some of them wouldn't even pay attention to the once-in-five-thousand-years Genius Battle, and even if they did, they wouldn't care much.

"I saw the Black Dragon of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Given his status, the fact that he was able to attend the banquet with us must mean there's no mistake."

"Even for the most outstanding geniuses in the universe, the path to immortality is not so easy. They may perish in the future. This is simply overestimating themselves."

"The Inspection Envoy has the power to supervise, which is why the Three Giants were worried about him and personally invited important figures from all sides of the Ganwu Universe Country. Yet he dared to act like this, showing no respect whatsoever to the Three Giants of the Ganwu Branch. It's truly laughable!"

"Look at this manor, its scale far surpasses ours. Does an Inspection Envoy from the Virtual Universe Company hold such a high position?"

They were secretly furious.

The Three Giants of the Ganwu Branch control far too many resources!

To develop one's power, one must be mindful of the Commerce Department! To nurture the future of one's family, one must be mindful of the Ministry of the Martial Department! Even if a powerful individual wants to be safer and gain more merit on the Outer Domain Battlefield, they still need to be mindful of the Ministry of the Military Department.

Among the Three Hundred Marquises, and numerous powerful and immortal families, few dared to disrespect the Three Giants leaders of the Ganwu Branch, which is why they personally came to the banquet. However, they never expected that this young Inspection Envoy would be so clueless about the times!

Silver Snow Marquis Ji Tianzang frowned slightly.

He looked at the two people beside him. Each invitation only allowed two people to attend. This kind of high-level banquet was only for the top figures in the Ganwu Universe Country. Therefore, he brought two of the most outstanding juniors of their Ji Clan.

A female World Master, whose full name is Ji Fengyan, is World Lord peak and is the most promising Realm Lord among the nearly one hundred World Master with family bloodlines in the eyes of Silver Snow Marquis Ji Tianzang!

The other one is Ji Qing, Cosmic Level Nine, a rare talent that the Ji Clan has produced in countless years, and is now Core Member of the "Cosmic Mercenary Alliance"!

He, Silver Snow Marquis, had fifteen Immortal God under his command, but none of them were from the Ji Clan. Apart from himself, there was no other Immortal God.

The probability of Immortal God being born is extremely low, confined to a single family. Even over a long period of time, it is difficult for two Immortal God to emerge!

However, these two younger generations are very likely to be involved.

Ji Qing, in particular, follows the path of Mental Master. She possesses exceptional talent and a clear understanding of human nature. Her teacher is an extremely formidable King-level Immortal God of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, the Illusionary King!

In Silver Snow Marquis's eyes, it would not be difficult for Ji Qing to surpass him in the future.

Silver Snow Marquis naturally valued them highly, and in this situation, he only wanted to take this opportunity to teach them more.

"You should take today's events as a warning!"

"Even with the greatest talent, one must not be arrogant. The path to the peak is incredibly difficult."

"Everyone here is a top figure in the Ganwu Universe Country. Lin Yan, in the end, is just a Domain Lord level 9. The Three Giants of the Ganwu Branch are worried about his supervisory power, but I doubt many of the immortals present care about him."

"He has offended many kings and nobles of the Ganwu Universe Country today. He may very well regret it in the future!"

Silver Snow Marquis said, his eyes narrowed.

"Ancestor, I know," Ji Fengyan nodded upon hearing the instruction.

The woman next to him with short, ear-length hair was lost in thought.

"Ancestor, are you saying... this Inspection Envoy is Lin Yan?" Ji Qing asked.

"It shouldn't be wrong." Looking at the most outstanding genius of the Ji Clan, Silver Snow Marquis was somewhat puzzled by her reaction, but still nodded.

"After winning first place in the Genius Battle, he entered the Original Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company. Although only two hundred years have passed, he has already reached the Domain Lord level 9, which is somewhat unusual, but it should not be anyone else."

Upon hearing this...

Ji Qing looked up and surveyed the room full of guests, feeling a sense of absurdity for a moment.

They were long-time subjects of the Qianwu Country Lord, but as time passed, these once powerful figures drifted away from the core of humanity, to the point that they had no idea what they were talking about.

Having offended so many kings and nobles of the Ganwu Universe Country, there may be times when they regret it later.

Is he arrogant?

That's... Lin Yan!

The strongest genius in Human history, who passed through Tongtian Bridge 15th floor in less than a hundred years after entering the Original Secret Realm, whose laws are comparable to those of Feng Wang Immortal God.

The personal disciple of the Mu Xing Country Lord.

According to the teacher, he is destined to become the Universe Venerable!

This scene came into the view of the Three Giants of the Ganwu Branch.

The three Purple Lightning Marquis, Golden Feather Marquis, and Black Annihilation Marquis communicated with each other through telepathy.

A hint of disdain flashed in Golden Feather Marquis's eyes, and his whole being exuded a sinister aura. "They are already lucky to be qualified to attend this welcoming banquet, yet they still want Lin Yan to personally greet them. How interesting."

"One minute they're fawning over me, trying to take advantage of Virtual Universe Company's vast resources, and the next minute they think waiting a little while in the banquet hall is disrespectful to them. Tch—"

"They have access to the strongest members of the Virtual Universe Company, which is us. How could they possibly know these things?" Ape Purple Lightning Marquis shook his head.

Is the path to immortality difficult?

This is fine to say to others, but is it something you should say to Lin Yan?

In terms of status and position, even among the King level Immortal of the Virtual Universe Company, how many can compare to Lin Yan?

Not to mention such talent, his future is limitless.

The fact that the three ministers of the Ganwu Branch were standing here to greet them was already a great honor for them. To expect Lin Yan to greet them was simply unacceptable. When has Virtual Universe Company ever acted in such a way?

"They've arrived." The black veiled girl Black Annihilation Marquis, said softly, her eyes lighting up.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Three figures appeared instantly at the main entrance.

Moment.

A massive spaceship pierced the clouds in the night, its terrifying aura sending chills down one's spine, as it slowly descended.

Wow!

The hatch opened.

A handsome young man stepped out of the hatch. He was wearing crystal armor that shone brightly. There was a strange black line mark between his eyebrows that looked like a closed eye. His clear eyes seemed to hold the possibility of the universe Annihilation in an instant.

Like stars in the sky, they are far away and unattainable.

It was as if a deity had descended and stepped into the human world.

"Although we've been in contact quite a bit before, this is our first meeting."

He looked at the black veiled girl: "Military Department Minister 'Black Annihilation Marquis' Vesa."

The black veiled girl smiled and nodded.

Then he looked at the blond, sinister-looking man. "Minister of the Martial Department, 'Golden Feather Marquis' Efu."

The blond man had a bright, sunny smile.

Finally, looking at the ape-man, he said, "Minister of Commerce, 'Purple Lightning Marquis' Zhen Qian."

The ape-man burst into laughter.

The young man gave a warm, sunny smile, "I will need your assistance with the work of the Inspection Envoy in the future."

"I am Lin Yan!"
