Outside the Imperial Capital Star.

A giant is standing in the starry sky.

The deep voice traveled through the starry sky without any obstruction, directly reaching the ears and minds of the two figures in front of them.

"I never imagined that in the blink of an eye, the Super genius who made my Ganwu Universe Country famous in the Genius Battle has already gone so far."

The Qianwu Country Lord exclaimed, "This is truly unbelievable."

He appeared gentle and warm, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze; there was no trace of his usual aloofness.

This is not his true nature.

Rather, the Super genius at the Domain Lord level before them was so outstanding that even the Qianwu Country Lord had to treat him with caution.

When Lin Yan returned to the Ganwu Universe Country from the Original Secret Realm, the Qianwu Country Lord paid attention to him. The identity of the Special Representative of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters made him think carefully.

The position of Inspection Envoy the Ganwu Branch was already one that no one in the Ganwu Universe Country dared to provoke. With this special appointment, the Qianwu Country Lord thought to himself that this appointment did not have much real power and was very likely an implication from the Virtual Universe Company.

He might be the one giving the hint.

Although Lin Yan has left the Original Secret Realm, the company's senior management does not want Lin Yan to suffer any injustice within human territory.

It's a real treasure.

When the Qianwu Country Lord learned that the first thing Lin Yan did after returning was to wipe out the Fire Phoenix Group, it turned out that... the leader of the Fire Phoenix Group, "Panxi," had some connection with his son, the Seventh Prince of the Ganwu Universe Country.

Without any hesitation, he immediately contacted his son, demanding that he sincerely apologize to Lin Yan for the matter.

There's clearly some connection we could have made, but if this trivial matter causes any friction with this rising star of the human race, that would be truly laughable.

But now it seems...

The Qianwu Country Lord was quite annoyed.

At that time, I didn't take it seriously enough. If I had known the specifics, I should have attended the welcoming banquet in person to show my attitude.

This kid is absolutely phenomenal!

It is truly unbelievable that even the Venerable Ancestor Tree could personally protect them.

Judging from the reaction of the Venerable Ancestor Tree just now, which completely ignored the Qianwu Country Lord present, one can tell just how great the difference in their status is.

How could he dare to put on even a hint of the airs of Universe Country Lord in front of Lin Yan?

"Your Country Lord flatters me." Lin Yan glanced at the giant who was over nine meters tall. He looked somewhat similar to the "Lord Thirteen" who had led the team to the Genius Battle. They should be from the same clan.

He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I was able to receive guidance from King Tong Nan teacher back then thanks to the Country Lord's recommendation. I should thank the Country Lord."

The Qianwu Country Lord couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Genius Battle, Lin Yan won first place in the entire universe. He did ask Lin Yan what reward he wanted. Lin Yan replied that he was preparing to follow the path of analyzing the essence and hoped to be introduced to a suitable teacher to provide some guidance at the beginning.

The Qianwu Country Lord did introduce King Tong Nan, but only briefly. At that time, Lin Yan did not have the reputation he has now, and he never expected to succeed.

With King Tong Nan right here in front of him, he couldn't very well take credit for it.

He smiled and said, "If you weren't exceptionally talented, how could you have won Tong Nan's favor? This is not my achievement."

Standing to the side, King Tong Nan secretly flattered, "If it weren't for the Country Lord's introduction, I might not have gotten to know Lin Yan."

"Haha..." The Qianwu Country Lord laughed heartily, "It seems that you are all very satisfied with my introduction of this teacher or disciple."

In fact.

The most important reason why King Tong Nan's status would be willing to guide Lin Yan at that time was because he considered that Lin Yan would become a strongman in the future and would be under the command of the Nine Swords Venerable, out of respect for Longyu King.

Of course, Lin Yan's progress far exceeded his expectations.

Upon entering Chaos City, he immediately crossed six levels of the Tongtian Bridge and was directly accepted as a personal disciple by the Mu Xing Country Lord. After that, he repeatedly performed astonishing feats.

Now he has nothing to do with the Nine Swords Venerable anymore.

After the departure of the Qianwu Country Lord, Lin Yan also needs to spend some energy dealing with the current situation.

In the Imperial Capital Star.

Lin Yan and his group walked down the street, with Lin Yan in front and the Ninth Army Lord and Elder Si Fanqi on either side.

At this moment, the Imperial Capital Star was bustling with activity.

This miraculous experience of being brought back from the dead was so exciting that people were arguing about it everywhere in the streets and alleys.

"Ninth Army Lord, were there any mishaps in the execution of the mission?" Lin Yan asked, looking at the tall, thin man beside him.

"Your Highness, I have made proper arrangements. There have been no problems with the missions on the Imperial Capital Star, including those of the other 70th Army." The Ninth Army Lord looked at Lin Yan with a respectful expression. "The casualties caused by the appearance of the large number of Immortal Zerg Warriors have been eliminated because they have all been resurrected. So, apart from the damage to the interstellar warships, there have been no other losses."

He now truly admires Lin Yan.

When faced with the assassination attempt by a peak-level Alien Race Peak Feng Wang expert, he did not forget to consider their safety first. He stayed outside and instead took his subordinates into his World Ring.

The Ninth Army Lord did not know what happened next, but the phrase "the descent of the Lord of the Universe" already indicated the perilous nature of the situation.

Although this His Highness Lin Yan is not strong enough yet, he is truly capable of handling things in critical moments.

Lin Yan nodded.

Damage to interstellar warships is not a big deal; the Military Department's equipment expenditures are normal. Not to mention these interstellar warships, even his Emperor Ship had a hole torn in it by the Heart Devouring King and needs to be repaired.

The Ninth Army Lord looked around and asked softly, "Your Highness, everyone is discussing 'resurrection' right now. Shouldn't we take some action?"

Lin Yan did not answer, but listened quietly to their argument.

Some people think this is a "resurrection technique," but that's too far-fetched, so most people insist that it's an "illusion technique" of some powerful person.

As I listened, I found it quite interesting.

"Let's just say it's the 'illusion technique' of the Alien Race powerhouse. This phenomenon only occurs when the Alien Race powerhouse is killed and the illusion shatters." Lin Yan shook his head. "This matter has its own peculiarities; it's something that can't be forced."

"Yes, Your Highness," the Ninth Army Lord replied solemnly.

This is indeed a rare and precious thing. To be qualified to be resurrected by the Lord of the Universe, one must at least be Feng Wang level Immortal. Moreover, this is not without cost; one must bear an extremely high price or debt.

The Ninth Army Lord had never heard of anything like this before.

Lin Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Countless people died instantly on the Imperial Capital Star, and almost all of the 300,000 Cosmic level warriors perished because they could not withstand the powerful impact.

At the time, Lin Yan was in a difficult situation, so he didn't have time to think much. Even after things eased up, it still put a lot of psychological pressure on him.

This time, Venerable Ancestor Tree was present, and he was willing to save these people.

Otherwise, all these vibrant lives would have perished long ago, and countless peaceful residents of the Imperial Capital Star would have died out.

This is the tragedy of the weak.

"I must become a true peerless powerhouse!"

"Only those like the Venerable Ancestor Tree and the Chaos City Lord can possess the power to change and save, and truly have the ability to match their thoughts."

"Save someone? Kill someone?"

"To fulfill one's responsibilities and realize one's inner truth, what one needs is not potential, but the potential that is realized." Many thoughts flashed through Lin Yan's mind in an instant, and at the same time, his resolve became even stronger.

It is precisely because people have various pursuits and goals that they can continuously strengthen their inner resolve.

The more Lin Yan saw and thought, the more dissatisfied he became, and the more he craved.

In the process of constantly reflecting on himself and strengthening his resolve, Lin Yan's will will become stronger and more unshakeable.

He now holds a very high status, but that's because "the future is promising."

What he wants to achieve is to bring this "future" to happen sooner.

Once everything is finished.

The banquet hall was filled with a sumptuous feast.

Before Lin Yan, Gate, and the Ninth Army Lord were human food, including some exotic fruits and delicious meats.

On the other side, in front of Elder Si Fanqi, the seven Marquis-level Immortal God, Kashna were some special alloys and special materials.

Just as the Golden Horn Beast mainly eats metal, different life forms have vastly different food preferences.

Long Chi'er, who had helped at the time, left with the Qianwu Country Lord. King Tong Nan did not leave for the time being, but he was too lazy to attend any banquets.

"I must thank everyone for their help with this mission, especially Elder Si Fanqi. Thank you for your great assistance." Lin Yan raised his wine glass and smiled. "I'd like to propose a toast to everyone."

"Your Highness is too kind."

Si Fanqi and the other Immortal God of the Tawen Department all raised their glasses, even Kashna raised his glass.

They were drinking a very thick liquid. If it were Lin Yan and the others, they wouldn't know how to drink it, but Elder Si Fanqi and the others all enjoyed it very much and drank it down.

"We only had a meager strength. We were able to kill those three powerful Alien Race thanks to King Tong Nan's intervention." Elder Si Fanqi sighed with a smile.

They are merely a vassal group of the human race, so it is neither appropriate for them to inquire about nor mention the matter of the "descendance of the Lord of the Universe".

What shocked Elder Si Fanqi was that when he fought the Heart Devouring King, he had clearly burning Divine Power, but when he woke up, he found that his divine body had been completely restored.

This was something Venerable Ancestor Tree did on a whim.

It should be known that the World Tree is full of endless vitality. As long as it branches out a little, it can transform into a powerful Life Tree. Its Life Origin is extremely powerful.

With its abundant vitality, the World Tree instantly healed the injuries of many of those present.

"Your Highness."

Elder Si Fanqi put down his wine cup and said with a smile, "After we finish eating, we will return to our hometown and our clan. Before that, I sincerely invite Your His Highness Lin Yan to visit the place where my Golden Horn Clan lives and dwells."

"This is also an invitation from the elders of our Golden Horn Clan. Although our Golden Horn Clan is just an ordinary clan, we will make sure Your Highness's trip is worthwhile."

Although the mission was short, Elder Si Fanqi Ki saw quite a lot.

He consulted the clan's Elder Council beforehand, and the clan had prepared considerable benefits in order to build a good relationship with Lin Yan.

The Golden Horn Clan is different from humans. Humans are ruled by Universe Country, while the Golden Horn Clan consists of 100,000 tribes, with countless tribes competing with each other.

The Senate, which was high above and managed the entire Golden Horn Clan 100,000 people, was the supreme authority of the Elder Council!

One must become a respected elder to become an elder.

Si Fanqi was full of confidence. Although the Golden Horn Clan could not compare with the human race, it was still a huge race in the universe with an incredibly long history and its own unique heritage. If he wanted to curry favor with them, he would surely make Lin Yan return with a full harvest.

Lin Yan shook his head and chuckled, "I've heard that the 'Yan Shen Armament,' one of the Nine Divine Weapons of the Mental Master, was created by Elder 'Xerod' of the Golden Horn Clan?"

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words...

"Yes, Your Highness." Si Fanqi's eyes lit up, and his voice rose. "Your Highness has also heard of Elder Xerod? He is the greatest elder in the history of our clan! He is the eternal pride of our Golden Horn Clan!"

The other seven Marquis-level Immortal God and Kashna all had eyes filled with pride and admiration.

That kind of fervent worship left Lin Yan with many feelings.

Xerod was a great leader in the history of the Golden Horn Clan. Under his leadership, the Golden Horn Clan was able to gain a foothold in the universe, and in terms of strength, they had already reached the level of "Universe Overlord".

Lin Yan's teacher, the Mu Xing Country Lord, was at this level.

Of course, although Xerod was exceptionally talented, he came from the Golden Horn Clan, an ordinary clan, and did not have the strong foundation of humans. Naturally, his conditions for Creation Secret Technique were not as good as those of human experts. In Lin Yan's opinion, he was slightly inferior.

Unfortunately, this Elder Xerod perished long ago in a terrifying Cosmic Secret Realm, and the status of the Golden Horn Clan declined accordingly. They could only become a vassal clan of humanity, and only with the help of humans could they have enough territory to survive.

"I appreciate Elder Si Fanqi's kind invitation," Lin Yan said with a smile. "However, I still have some matters to attend to before heading to Chaos City for cultivation, so I regret that I will not be able to experience the customs and traditions of the Golden Horn Clan."

Elder Si Fanqi and other Immortal God of the Tawen Department seemed somewhat disappointed.

They also understood that if Lin Yan had no intention of going, the Golden Horn Clan really had nothing that could attract this His Highness Lin Yan of the human race.

Their most precious treasure was the "Sacred Stele" left by Xerod, similar to the Chaos Stele of humankind.

However, this is Chaos Stele formed by the combination of space and metal, which has very limited appeal to Lin Yan.

They had naturally heard of Chaos City, Holy Land for cultivation.

"However, I would like to ask Elder Si Fanqi for a favor," Lin Yan said.

Elder Si Fanqi's gaze hardened as he listened intently.

I'm not afraid to help.

I'm afraid you won't even glance at me.

Lin Yan slowly said, "I have a friend who is also Virtual Universe Company Original Secret Realm Member. In a few years, he will break through to the Domain Lord level. He cultivates the 'Gold' and 'Space' laws, and the telekinetic weapon he uses is the Yan Shen Armament."

"I've heard that the Golden Horn Clan has a Sacred Stele left behind by the elder Xerod. This Sacred Stele is a waste for me, but it would be of great benefit to him. I hope he can have the opportunity to observe and comprehend it."

Si Fanqi was taken aback. "Your Highness, are you referring to... Your Highness Luo Feng?"

Lin Yan already knew some basic information by heart, so of course he knew about Luo Feng's existence.

"Yes." Lin Yan nodded.

"Alright." Elder Si Fanqi nodded. "After I returned to my hometown, I personally applied to the elders to allow Your Highness Luo Feng to enter our clan's supreme holy land. However, I dare not say that I am absolutely certain."

"If the elders agree, I will personally escort Your Highness Luo Feng to the land where my Golden Horn Clan lives!"

He also felt that Lin Yan's suggestion was very good.

Although it didn't achieve the ideal of befriending Lin Yan, it at least allowed them to form a positive connection. Moreover, it also helped them build a good relationship with another genius from the Original Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company.

If it were Luo Feng, who cultivates the "Gold and Space" laws, the Golden Horn Clan would have many more things to offer.

Lin Yan laughed loudly, "I imagine Luo Feng would be very happy to know that he would have the opportunity to go to the birthplace of the Yan Shen Armament. Elder Xerod is indeed a very admirable strongman."

Si Fanqi, the seven Marquis-level Immortal God, Kashna all smiled happily upon hearing Lin Yan's words.

Xerod was the most respected being in the entire Golden Horn Clan.

As for Lin Yan...

Xerod followed the path of the "Golden Kong Beast God".

Lin Yan's main focus is still the "Universe Chaos Stele," so let alone the Golden Horn Clan, even if any other clan is related to the "Time Beast God," it doesn't hold any appeal for him now.

Even if it were to offer some benefits for free, Lin Yan wouldn't be interested in such things given his wealth.

He should just wait patiently for the day his "Blood Hound" clone is successfully conceived.

But Luo Feng is different; he Soul Seizure the Golden Horn Beast, while the Starry Sky Beast was the true descendant of the ancient Innate Beast God.

Lin Yan didn't understand how these so-called "descendants" were connected, but he was certain that Luo Feng was completely lost without Path of the Beast God, Luo Feng had to go on this trip to the Golden Horn Clan.

The banquet has ended.

Lin Yan watched the Golden Horn Clan's Tawen Department action team and the Ninth Army Lord leave, then handed the Emperor Ship over to the Virtual Universe Company's staff for repairs, before setting off to return.

He walked down the corridor of the manor and came to a quiet little building.

Lin Yan smiled and called out, "Teacher."

The door to the quiet little building suddenly opened, and King Tong Nan walked out.

King Tong Nan's expression was somewhat strange. "You have already completed all your other tasks, why did you choose to leave Yao Hai behind?"

He hadn't planned to linger and return directly to Chaos City, but Lin Yan asked him to stay and do a favor, which King Tong Nan readily agreed to.

This request is a bit strange.

At that time, Yao Hai had not yet been killed. After the assassination attempt broke out, he fell into a coma along with the others. It was only a thought away for King Tong Nan to kill him, a Marquis-level Immortal God. However, Lin Yan left him behind and asked King Tong Nan to keep an eye on him for the time being.

Lin Yan rubbed his hands together, chuckling, "The mission deadline is one year, there's still a long way to go. Let me make the most of this useless thing."

"Hmm?" King Tong Nan asked in confusion.

Waste utilization... what does that mean?

"I haven't had a suitable opportunity to test my cultivation achievements over the years in actual combat. Fortunately, with you here, Master, to help me control the situation, Yao Hai would be a very good choice." Lin Yan's eyes were bright.

He had indeed been eager to test the results of his training through real combat, and this was a great opportunity.

This is a genuine, Feng Wang Immortal God.

At this moment, Lin Yan felt his blood boiling and his fighting spirit burning.

"Lin Yan, what do you mean..." King Tong Nan felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. Considering Lin Yan's character, he now felt a little numb.

That's impossible.

Absolutely impossible!

This idea is insane.

His face was filled with astonishment, and he forced out those words: "You want to fight against Feng Wang Immortal God?!"
