How Could There Be Such a Terrifying Thing in This World?

At the main entrance of the manor, three figures stood at the very front.

The ape-man, dressed in a magnificent purple robe, looked very elegant. He had a smile on his face, and purple lightning rippled around his body.

The man with dazzlingly long golden hair had an incredibly radiant smile, and his whole being was as warm as the sun.

The barefoot girl, draped only in a black veil, exuded a unique charm with her unintentional allure.

"The Ganwu Branch the Virtual Universe Company welcomes Your His Highness Lin Yan!" the black veiled girl bowed.

"Although we are far away in the Ganwu Universe Country, we have often heard of His Highness Lin Yan's great name." The blond man smiled brightly, appearing very sunny, without the slightest hint of evil.

"Speaking of which, we have always been proud to be members of the Virtual Universe Company, but His Highness Lin Yan is an unparalleled figure that the Virtual Universe Company can be proud of. He is truly admirable."

The Ape Purple Lightning Marquis, was extremely enthusiastic. "Now that His Highness Lin Yan has returned to the Ganwu Universe Country and assumed the position of Inspection Envoy, we should accompany His Highness to take a good look at our office, 'Purple Crystal Island,' and see how our Ganwu Branch operates."

"However, today's banquet is a welcome feast for His Highness Lin Yan. Let's go to the banquet hall first. We are short on time and the preparations are not thorough. I hope His Highness will not find it offensive."

Golden Feather Marquis and Black Annihilation Marquis also smiled and echoed.

Upon first meeting this seemingly miraculous genius from headquarters, Lin Yan, who also held the power of oversight that influenced them, they couldn't help but feel somewhat nervous.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Purple Lightning Marquis, you flatter me."

Greeted by the three major figures, Lin Yan led his Guard Army into the manor.

In the rest hall where the Guard Army were stationed, only Gate followed Lin Yan.

Accompanied by the three powerful figures, Black Annihilation Marquis, Golden Feather Marquis, and Purple Lightning Marquis, Lin Yan made his way to the banquet hall.

"I will introduce the guests of this banquet to His Highness Lin Yan later."

Purple Lightning Marquis laughed and said, "We have invited powerful figures from the Ganwu Universe Country, as well as a few who are close to Your Highness. For example, the Divine Lord of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, although he is not qualified, I have also invited him."

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Lin Yan nodded and then stepped into the banquet hall.

Whoosh!

The banquet hall was completely silent.

A group of Immortal God with astonishing power and influence in the Ganwu Universe Country turned their gazes toward the young man in the middle.

Is this the Inspection Envoy from the Ganwu Branch?

Some people immediately recognized him as Lin Yan from the Genius Battle, while others recognized the Yongluo Armor he was wearing.

How could a Domain Lord level 9 possess such wealth?

The Yongluo Armor is a defensive battle armor of the Marquis level, and its auction price usually reaches 800,000 to 1,000,000 Hun Yuan Unit. Even for them, the battle armor they use is mostly of this level.

He is incredibly talented, wealthy, and has been treated with such deference by Three Giants.

He was indeed young and successful; no wonder he's so arrogant!

Inside the main banquet hall.

The powerful Immortal God and their subordinates, numbering in the thousands, gathered in the banquet hall. The Three Giants of the Ganwu Branch first apologized to Lin Yan before walking one by one to the high platform at the front of the banquet hall.

"Everyone!" The Ape Purple Lightning Marquis smiled as he looked down at the many Immortal God below.

The many Immortal God below looked up with smiles, ready to listen to the words of these three giants.

Although they were somewhat displeased with what happened today, they dared not show their displeasure in front of the Three Giants.

"Those who were selected to join the Virtual Universe Company through the Genius Battle are all unparalleled geniuses of our human race. Every Core Layer of our Virtual Universe Company is such an outstanding individual."

Purple Lightning Marquis declared loudly, "But if we really want to rank these people, in terms of talent, speed of progress, and history, only one person can be called the best!"

"Looking at all humankind, looking at the entirety of history, no one can compare to it!"

"Who is he?"

The Immortal God in the banquet hall were slightly taken aback, and then their pupils shrank!

How dare Purple Lightning Marquis say such a thing?

During the Genius Battle, Bolan was hailed as a genius that appears only once every ten thousand epochs, while Lin Yan was described by some as a genius that appears only once every million epochs.

If Lin Yan is the greatest genius of this era, they are not surprised, but in the long Human history, he is nothing special.

"These Three Giants of the Ganwu Branch are usually very arrogant, what's going on with them today?"

"He's just an Inspection Envoy, is it really necessary to do this? If Lin Yan dares to be disrespectful, we can use some underhanded methods to make him disappear without any evidence! No matter what, he's just a Domain Lord level 9, we have plenty of ways to deal with him."

Several Immortal God were discussing this in whispers.

These powerful Immortal God are most accustomed to eliminating their enemies directly from the root of the problem. So even though they know Lin Yan is Inspection Envoy, he is still a junior at the Domain Lord level 9, which makes them involuntarily feel a little contempt for him.

When Silver Snow Marquis heard Purple Lightning Marquis's words, he also felt that they were somewhat absurd, but when he saw that Ji Qing's expression did not show any surprise, he immediately became suspicious.

Could it be that this kid named Lin Yan... has done something earth-shattering in the past two hundred years?

"Ji Qing?" he whispered to her.

The Ganwu Universe Country is far from the core, and some recent events may not be as well-informed as this junior of hers, after all, her teacher is a powerful being like the Illusionary King!

It can happen very quickly.

Silver Snow Marquis's body trembled, and he turned to look at the calm-looking black-haired youth, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief!

How is that possible?

How could that be!

Ji Qing's answer was—

"Ancestor, can you imagine that in just over a hundred years, your Law Comprehension of the Cosmic level is comparable to that of Feng Wang Immortal God?"

"That's him!"

Purple Lightning Marquis smiled broadly, "He is Lin Yan, the Special Representative of our Virtual Universe Company headquarters! He also serves as the Inspection Envoy of the Ganwu Branch. For a long time to come, Golden Feather Marquis, Black Annihilation Marquis, and I will assist His Highness Lin Yan in all his work in the Ganwu Universe Country."

"Yes, during this period, His Highness Lin Yan will represent the will of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters in full," Golden Feather Marquis added from the side.

"The fact that Headquarters has sent His Highness Lin Yan to join our Ganwu Branch a great honor for us. It is a great honor for me, Golden Feather Marquis, Purple Lightning Marquis, and I to work with His Highness Lin Yan, the beloved disciple of the Mu Xing Country Lord, who is hailed as the 'Humanity's Strongest Genius'."

The black veiled girl smiled and said, her voice echoing in the ears of everyone in the banquet hall. "Let us welcome His Highness Lin Yan to the Ganwu Universe Country, for which he once fought!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome, Your His Highness Lin Yan, to the stage!"

Both the Purple Lightning Marquis and the Golden Feather Marquis shouted enthusiastically.

The powerful immortals of the Ganwu Universe Country below were stunned by the obsequious manner of the three giants, and then a commotion broke out.

They looked at the young Inspection Envoy in the banquet hall, their eyes filled with unconcealed shock and disbelief.

This is insane!

This is insane!

From the end of the Genius Battle until now, it has only been about two hundred years in the Primordial Universe. In such a short time, what kind of feat must Lin Yan have accomplished to gain such power and status?

Fully representing the will of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters?

This is similar to the "Nine Swords Venerable" who presided over the Genius Battle. How much importance must the top management of the Virtual Universe Company attach to a Domain Lord?

The beloved disciple of the Mu Xing Country Lord?

If the Ganwu Universe Country ranks last among the 1008 Universe Nations, then the Mu Xing Universe Country is one of the most powerful and oldest Universe Country. And Lin Yan's teacher is actually the Country Lord of the Mu Xing Universe Country!

The Humanity's Strongest Genius?

In comparison, this title is the most terrifying. As the pinnacle of the universe, what kind of geniuses haven't the human race seen?

Within this race, there are Great Existence like the Lord of the Universe, as well as many other Universe Venerable. Just how strong must one's talent be to be worthy of such titles?

Such a short time is not even enough for them to think about a cultivation problem, yet such a dazzling and unparalleled figure has emerged in the human race.

They even wondered if the three leaders of the Ganwu Branch were exaggerating... However, they understood even more clearly that being able to say something so openly in such a setting meant that there was absolutely no objection.

If there are any objections to this matter, it's fine to discuss them privately, but discussing them in such a public setting will have a huge impact.

But if it's true... that would be terrifying!

The words of the Three Giants of the Ganwu Branch immediately made these Immortal God forget the unpleasantness from before.

Previously, they thought that Lin Yan's position was a check on the Three Giants through supervisory privileges, and that he only possessed it because of the Three Giants.

But now, that is clearly not the case.

Lin Yan's status is far above that of the Three Giants. This status was personally bestowed upon him by the highest level of the Virtual Universe Company!

The Virtual Universe Company holds a pivotal position within the human race, and the attitude of the Virtual Universe Company reflects the attitude of the human race!

Lin Yan is the most dazzling star; his brilliance makes all other stars pale in comparison.

Many Immortal God have been secretly contacting old friends in the Virtual Universe who they think might know the Inside story. At their level, it is difficult for them to know many things about the core of humanity, but they can still find a way by taking the initiative to ask questions.

Compared to previous suspicions, we'll wait until we truly know the truth!

They felt as if their brains had been struck by a heavy hammer.

In just over a hundred years, at the Cosmic level, his Law Comprehension is comparable to many powerful figures in this banquet hall. In fact, it can be said that most people are no match for this rising star named Lin Yan!

Lin Yan pursued a path of cultivating both time and space, while they did not. In fact, many of them had never even heard of Lin Yan's path of analyzing the Law essence.

It's appalling.

Looking at Lin Yan on the stage, Silver Snow Marquis was filled with surging emotions. Over the years, he had gone to great lengths to cultivate the elite descendants of the Ji Clan, but he couldn't even cultivate an Immortal God.

And this guy, after more than a hundred years, still Law Comprehension than I do!

How could such a terrifying thing exist in the world?

"Although they are only at the Domain Lord level 9, they will at least reach the level of the Universe Venerable in the future." The group of Immortal God instantly understood the source of the Virtual Universe Company's high regard for them.

"During Lin Yan's tenure as the Inspection Envoy, the Ganwu Branch gained someone even more untouchable than the Three Giants."

"Um!"

"Apart from His Majesty the Country Lord, no one can afford the consequences of offending Lin Yan. Those titles are truly awe-inspiring."

Those Immortal God were secretly terrified because of the few complaints they had made while waiting. If they had heard Lin Yan say anything, they would have been ostracized in the Ganwu Universe Country.

This Ganwu Universe Country is not only the Universe Country of the Qianwu Country Lord, but also the Universe Country of the Virtual Universe Company!

The four leaders of the Ganwu Branch descended from the high platform.

The many Immortal God suppressed their shock and began to enjoy the feast. Many waiters carried trays of delicious dishes, and one dish after another was served.

These ingredients were all transported from all corners of the universe by the Three Giants; the wines and dishes were all of the highest quality.

Immediately, the entire banquet hall was filled with lively discussions and conversations.

"This welcome banquet alone, with its fine wines and dishes, must have consumed at least ten thousand Hun Yuan Units. As expected of Virtual Universe Company, they really have money."

"Being rich depends on the person," someone said with a smile.

The Immortal God of the Ganwu Universe Country chatted in twos and threes, while the protagonist of this welcoming banquet was Lin Yan. During the banquet, Lin Yan also held a wine glass and chatted with the Immortal God.

Purple Lightning Marquis and the others were beside Lin Yan, introducing him to the group.

"Purple Lightning Marquis, Golden Feather Marquis, Black Annihilation Marquis, your invitation to me has truly made me, Black Dragon, very happy, hahaha..." A burly giant with dragon scales all over his body and a black dragon horn on his head laughed enthusiastically, his eyes lighting up when they fell on Lin Yan.

"The fact that someone like His Highness Lin Yan comes from my Black Dragon Black Dragon Mountain Empire is truly the proudest thing in my life."

The Ape Purple Lightning Marquis, introduced with a smile, "Your His Highness Lin Yan, this is the Divine Lord of your hometown, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. You can just call him Black Dragon."

"Hello, Mr. Black Dragon," Lin Yan said with a smile.

The Black Dragon Mountain God Lord came from the Black Dragon Mountain Tribe, a very weak tribe within the Dragon Human race. The Black Dragon Mountain Tribe had only about ten thousand pure-blooded people. This Black Dragon was the chieftain of the Black Dragon Mountain Tribe and established the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

He knew his strength was average. This gathering was the most prestigious in the Ganwu Universe Country, and he was qualified to attend entirely because Lin Yan came from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

Black Dragon looked at Lin Yan and was shocked. Although he was an immortal and the other was a domain lord, in terms of status, even a hundred thousand or a million times his own could not compare to the young man in front of him.

As the Minister of Commerce, Purple Lightning Marquis was tactful and witty. When some people came up to talk to him, he would occasionally transmit some interesting secrets to Lin Yan.

This gave Lin Yan a deeper understanding of the high-ranking officials of the Ganwu Universe Country and a greater understanding of many things in the universe than the available information.

"Your His Highness Lin Yan." A clear, cold voice rang out, and a silver-robed man with silver hair flowing at the temples walked over with a woman with short, ear-length hair.

"Today I have the honor of witnessing His Highness Lin Yan's unparalleled demeanor. I have come to realize that there are always people more capable than oneself, and that there is always something beyond one's understanding. It is truly admirable."

Purple Lightning Marquis, "Your Highness, this is Silver Snow Marquis, and the one behind him must be Ji Qing, Super genius the Ji Clan has seen only once in countless years, and who is now Core Member of the 'Cosmic Mercenary Alliance'."

Lin Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Among the five major forces of the Cosmic Human Race, the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena are the leaders, while the other forces, such as the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, the Cosmic First Bank, and the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, are much weaker.

Regardless, the fact that all five are ranked on equal footing and can become Core Member of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance demonstrates their exceptional talent.

Certainly.

Given Lin Yan's status, even World Lord level members of the Original Secret Realm might not care, let alone a Core Member of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

The reason for this reaction is entirely because Ji Qing is the woman who was in love with Hong in the original story. However, due to the obstruction of her teacher, "Illusionary King", Ji Qing did not persist, and the relationship ended hastily.

However, Hong's growth trajectory is now completely different, and they have no connection whatsoever.

Lin Yan looked at the aloof silver-robed man and smiled, "I have long admired the name of Silver Snow Marquis. The story of Marquis Silver Snow Marquis chasing countless star fields, fighting his way to the Zerg Territory, and finally killing the immortal Metal Lifeform 'Kubati' in the midst of the Zerg tide is truly legendary."

"Haha." Silver Snow Marquis couldn't help but laugh.

"That's all in the past. Compared to His Highness Lin Yan, it's really not worth mentioning."

He said it was nothing, but the chase after Kubati back then was indeed the Light Time of his life.

If it's just others praising you, then so be it.

This was a prodigy highly valued by the top management of the Virtual Universe Company. Silver Snow Marquis also knew that in terms of status, he was far superior to himself and infinitely close to Universe Venerable. Such an unparalleled genius knew his deeds like the back of his hand, and naturally felt very pleased.

Lin Yan then looked at Ji Qing behind Silver Snow Marquis and said softly, "Your teacher, I remember, should be the Illusionary King?"

The woman with short, ear-length hair was taken aback.

She looked at Lin Yan, quite surprised. "Your Highness, you actually know me?"

She knew Lin Yan was nothing special, after all, he was just too strong. The five major powers shared resources such as Chaos City, the Tongtian Bridge, and the cultivation world. Some of this information had already spread among the Core Layer of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

The Core Member of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance were talking about it, her senior brothers and sisters would mention it, her guards would hear about it, and even the supreme being of the Illusionary Palace would be amazed.

Especially in the last hundred years.

This name has repeatedly challenged the limits of imagination, bringing them endless shock. At the Cosmic level, their Qidian were not much different, but the speed of their progress has reached a frightening level.

The Tongtian Bridge 15th floor!

Seeing it for herself today, Ji Qing felt as if it were a convergence of legend and reality.

"Among the Feng Wang level Immortal, the Illusionary King is one of the top existences. It's not surprising that I've heard of her disciples," Lin Yan said with a smile.

The Illusionary King is a member of the "Cosmic Mercenary Alliance". Although she has only passed the 19th level of the Tongtian Bridge and is slightly inferior in her understanding of the Universe Law, her illusion attacks are extremely terrifying.

The most formidable of all were her servants!

She controls 81 Immortal God servants, including 79 Marquis level immortals and 2 Feng Wang level Immortal!

Ji Qing said softly, "When my teacher was teaching me, she often mentioned Your Highness, praising your talent so that you could easily surpass her. In the future, surpassing your teacher might not be difficult at all."

The three ministers beside him and Silver Snow Marquis all revealed a strange look in their eyes.

The Illusionary King is a being of exceptional stature, and his insight is naturally unique. They are well aware of the weight of these words.

It seems that Lin Yan's status is even more important than they imagined.

Fengtian Star, Lin Manor.

After the banquet.

Many high-ranking officials of the Ganwu Universe Country departed one by one on spaceships, including the three ministers of the Ganwu Branch.

Another incident occurred where the Seventh Prince of the Ganwu Universe Country, who was also among those invited, learned of the Fire Phoenix Group's affair afterward and personally apologized to Lin Yan.

The sincerity in his attitude made Lin Yan suspect that his father had instructed him to do it.

After all, Lin Yan returned and immediately eliminated the Fire Phoenix Group. Who knows if there are other Inside story? Panxi Xi was just a slave trader. Although he had some connection with the Seventh Prince, he was not worthy of having too much involvement with him.

If there's really Inside story, wouldn't it be unfair to be held a grudge against them?

The scene was witnessed by other kings and nobles, which sent an even stronger signal. They would have to make some changes when they returned. If Lin Yan really caused any trouble during his time in the Ganwu Universe Country and offended this great god, it would be no good.

That's the benefit of power.

When the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength; when you are powerful, all living beings will flock to you.

Lin Yan then remained on Fengtian Star.

Lin Yan has officially taken office during this period. Seeing that Lin Yan's attitude did not mean to exercise supervisory privileges, the three ministers felt much more at ease and their attitude towards Lin Yan changed from being obsequious to becoming more friendly.

In fact, Lin Yan didn't have the leisure or energy for that. The Virtual Universe Company branch managed many things within the Universe Country, which involved a great deal of influence. Even the most ethical person couldn't be completely without any problems.

Even if you can control yourself, it's hard to control your subordinates.

Lin Yan himself knew he was scheming and concealing things from Earth, and he never demanded that others be honest and upright.

Knowing what is good and bad, understanding boundaries, and acting practically are all that matters.

To put it bluntly, this is the system that Virtual Universe Company has for its branch managers. They turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. As long as it's not an overt violation, nothing will happen.

If you really want to get to the bottom of it, it's pointless.

Taking this opportunity, he secretly instructed Hun An to lead the Green Line Devouring Worm clone and the Tai Sui Tree Spirit to find a sufficiently remote place to build a divine kingdom.

Hun An is Energy-type Lifeform with the ability to Thousand Transformations. If one is not stronger than him, it is impossible to tell the difference between him and a human, which makes him quite convenient.

Moreover, the assistance of Mini Detector can further prevent potential hazards.

From then on, the Inner World of the Tai Sui Tree Spirit merged with the huge Space Fragments in the Space Interlayer, thus creating a divine kingdom!

After staying on Fengtian Star for three months, Lin Yan also had new plans.

"Master, are we just going to stay here on Fengtian Star and wait for your Xue Qiao Clone to be successfully conceived?" Wind Queen's voice echoed in Lin Yan's mind.

Lin Yan replied, "Of course not, I'm going to try and see if I can find an opportunity."

"An opportunity?" Wind Queen, somewhat puzzled. "Master, didn't you say before that you would send the Green Line Devouring Worm to search for it in the Cosmic Secret Realm?"

"Where in this Ganwu Universe Country can one find good treasures?"

She knew her master better than anyone.

At the Cosmic level, when we were still poor and destitute, we wouldn't even use a single opportunity for Supreme Treasure Fragment worth hundreds of millions of Hun Yuan Unit. At the Cosmic level, the three opportunities are all treasures worth tens of billions or even nearly a hundred billion points.

Back then, it was in the Original Secret Realm. Those cultivation worlds were specially arranged by the Virtual Universe Company, hiding great secrets, which is why these treasures could be found.

Now that Domain Lord level expert has been sent out to return to the Ganwu Universe Country, where else can one find such convenience?

Aside from waiting for the Green Line Devouring Worm to Parasitism Immortal-level Plant Lifeform and then searching in the Cosmic Secret Realm, there should be no other way.

"That's why I said I'd try my luck," Lin Yan said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"I'm going to take a look at the 'Garbage Star Domain.' All the debris and trash from the Outer Domain Battlefield are sent directly to the nine 'Garbage Star Domain' through cosmic conversion. Over countless years, an endless amount of various battle debris has accumulated there, and perhaps we can find incredibly valuable treasures within them."

"Let's see if I'm lucky enough to have that."

Although Lin Yan said that, he didn't really have much hope.

There are some Garbage Mountain in this Garbage Star Domain, which have been stored for countless billions of years. It is certain that there are hidden treasures there, and it is easy to find them through the chance function.

However, it is difficult for any treasures to catch his eye.

He gained hundreds of billions of points by taking advantage of those three opportunities at the Cosmic level, which is why he is so wealthy now. The requirements for the Domain Lord level will only be higher.

The debris in the Garbage Star Domain originated from the Outer Domain Battlefield. However, normally, even Peak Feng Wang Expert with great treasures would be rare in the Outer Domain Battlefield, and it is difficult for high-level treasures to appear.

Furthermore, these remains have already been sorted once, with the valuable ones being separated out. Finding a treasure worth hundreds of millions of Hun Yuan Unit is easy, but finding one worth tens of billions is almost impossible.

However, Lin Yan remembered that in the original novel, Luo Feng could find a "Yan God Clan Battle Armor" suitable for him in the Garbage Star Domain, which played an extremely crucial role in his growth, so he still thought of trying his luck.

It just takes a little time.

Anyway, cultivating here is cultivating, and cultivating in the spaceship is also cultivating, so there's no difference.

And...

"Once I return to Earth, controlling the Zerg Mother Nest will be a simple matter for me, but cultivating the Zerg Mother Nest will require purchasing a large amount of raw materials or Zerg Corpse. I should prepare in advance now."

Lin Yan's eyes were bright.

In the past, this Zerg Mother Nest wouldn't have been particularly important to him, but now he's figured out how to make the best use of it.
