Hong Alliance City

The light and shadow gradually faded, but the sound seemed to continue to echo in Lin Yan's consciousness, lingering for a long time.

Fight for the Hong Alliance!

Fight for humanity!

When Golden Axe Venerable saw that Lin Yan had regained consciousness, he smiled and said, "No need to doubt, this scene will occur for everyone who officially joins the Hong Alliance."

"The identity of this human figure... is also a great mystery of the Hong Alliance. Some people speculate that it is the avatar of a certain hall master in the Hong Alliance Palace, while others say that it is an intelligent system in the Virtual Universe. The Virtual Universe System can simulate any kind of pressure, so it is very possible."

Lin Yan nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

The oppressive aura emanating from that human figure was in no way inferior to that of Super Existence like the Chaos City Lord. The Lord of the Hong Alliance Palace that Golden Axe Venerable mentioned was a powerful universe master similar to the Chaos City Lord.

However... in Lin Yan's mind, this human-shaped light and shadow might be the Intelligent Core of the Virtual Universe!

The Virtual Universe permeates the Primordial Universe, dealing with countless programs every day. How complex is it? Even the powerful consciousness of a cosmic master cannot bear this endless information and would collapse under its strain!

However, the "Primordial Ancestor" who created the Virtual Universe had a servant of the universe master, who was the universe master of the Mechanical race. Intelligent life form is inherently good at processing information, and after becoming the universe master... he became even more powerful in this regard, which is why he was able to maintain the operation of the Virtual Universe.

"Intelligent life form have no souls and cannot be forcibly enslaved. Moreover, the Mechanical race itself is a pyramid structure with different levels of master-servant relationships, so there is no possibility of them actively choosing a master," Lin Yan thought to himself. "In that case... this Mechanical race Universe Lord is very likely to have been cultivated by the Primordial Ancestor's own Intelligent life form."

"Think about his disciples. When it comes to teaching disciples, the Primordial Ancestor was somewhat arrogant."

The birth of a cosmic ruler is incredibly difficult, but when you look at the life of the Primordial Ancestor, it's not called teaching, it's called "wholesale"!

He didn't think about it anymore.

As long as we continue down this path, we will eventually be able to see this legendary figure in the history of humankind.

"Lin Yan, now that you've joined the Hong Alliance, you can freely access all kinds of detailed information about the Hong Alliance, so I won't go into too much detail. Before you enter Hong Alliance City... take a good look at these documents and information, and you'll get a general idea," Golden Axe Venerable said with a smile.

Lin Yan gently and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Venerable One. Now that the important matters are settled, let's have a feast together."

"Haha, that's fine too." Golden Axe Venerable smiled heartily.

Although his strength was close to that of Universe Overlord, while Lin Yan was only World Master, as the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, he knew Lin Yan a little better and naturally wouldn't put on airs in front of Lin Yan, and even intended to befriend him.

After the banquet, Golden Axe Venerable left, while Lin Yan sat in his study, looking at the detailed information about the Hong Alliance on the screen in front of him.

Pictures, videos, and text materials are all available.

The Hong Alliance's headquarters is located in a special Plane Space created in the Virtual Universe. In that Plane Space, there are countless stars, and in the center of the stars, there is a huge floating ancient city.

This ancient city, suspended among the stars, is the "Hong Alliance City," home to countless powerful individuals!

It's peaceful here—after all, it's Virtual Universe, so it's naturally peaceful, and there's no fighting or killing.

Here, the hierarchy is strict—status is determined by strength and contribution, and those with higher status naturally enjoy more power.

The strength of official members of the Hong Alliance is determined by their battle record. The stronger the record, the higher the strength rating. The rating is based on one star, two stars, three stars... up to seven stars, a very simple rating system. All strong members will have Star Mark on their arm guards or cuffs.

This makes it easy to determine the opponent's strength level.

All new members who join the Hong Alliance are initially represented as stars. Their ranking will be determined by the Hong Alliance City Subsystem of the Virtual Universe System, which will automatically assess their performance and strength based on their real-world achievements.

One star is the level when you first join Hong Alliance. It is usually the most Ordinary Level of the King level Immortal.

Two stars is considered a strong figure among those who have been King Rank.

Samsung, the Feng Wang Limit.

Four stars, the initial level of the Universe Venerable, even the True Yan King can be classified into this level.

Seven stars represent the initial level of the Lord of the Universe, a level that even the Universe Overlord can be classified into.

"Hong Alliance City is divided into the outer city, the inner city, and the Hong Alliance Palace." Lin Yan looked at the data. "Those whose strength is divided into one-star to three-star reside in the outer city. Among them, there are about 100,000 human King level Immortal, and the other large number of Alien Race King level Immortal add up to more than 3 million!"

"This demonstrates the advantages of tribal alliances!"

In the vast universe, there are Myriad Races. The top races are strong, while the others are weak. However, their sheer numbers make it impossible for a single race to compete in the universe. The difficulty is incomparable.

An alliance of races, primarily composed of elite races, but including many powerful, ordinary, and weak races, can create a greater advantage.

Furthermore, based on this, due to the advantage of peak martial power, humanity remains the absolute ruler of the Hong Alliance!

"After all, the Lord of the Universe is the true pillar!"

"A fallen King Rank can be resurrected, and a fallen Universe Venerable can also be resurrected!"

The Hong Alliance only accepts members who are at least King Rank- level experts. The hidden benefit is that if someone falls after joining the Hong Alliance, they have a chance to be resurrected by the Lord of the Universe through Reverse Space-Time!

Over countless years, the accumulation of powerful individuals has led to its current massive scale.

Certainly--

These resurrections are all accumulated and then unified by a certain hall master of Hong Alliance City. The time is uncertain, and the cost of resurrecting them is very high. This is not an obligation of the Hong Alliance. They need to repay the debt after being resurrected, and only after repaying the debt can they be truly free.

Their strength is divided into four-star to six-star, and they live in the inner city, which is almost entirely inhabited by Universe Venerable.

At the very heart of the entire Hong Alliance City—

It is a magnificent and mysterious palace that stretches for millions of kilometers, resembling a giant sword that pierces the starry sky. This is the "Hong Alliance Palace".

The Hong Alliance Palace is inhabited by the "Seven Stars," who are at least Universe Overlord.

The hall masters of the Hong Alliance Palace... are even more than "Seven Stars"!

Lord of the Universe!

Even the slightest movement of his body could cause the tremors of Myriad Races in the universe!

"This information doesn't show how many Palace Masters there are in the Hong Alliance Palace." Lin Yan thought for a moment. In his memory, the human race currently has 15 Universe Masters on the surface, but there are actually 18 Universe Masters in total. The Hong Alliance seems to have 21 Universe Masters from Alien Race.

Considering that the human race has the Great Axe Founder, the Universe's Strongest, and that the human race's secret techniques and Supreme Treasure as universe masters are even better, including those with clones like the "Chaos City Lord," it is evident that the Peak Battle power of humanity is dominant within the Hong Alliance.

Lin Yan already knew most of this information; he was more concerned about the "transaction" aspect.

Hong Alliance City is a gathering place for all the powerful beings of humanity and various Alien Race. Which race possesses the treasure?

Of course, it is these powerful Feng Wang Immortal God, Universe Venerable, and even the pinnacle cosmic lords who possess the vast majority of the wealth of the many races in the Hong Alliance.

So--

Compared to the transactions in Hong Alliance City, the auctions attended by the so-called Planetary level in various Universe Country are simply child's play.

Ordinary transactions are measured in "ten billion Hunyuan". Trading below this amount in Hong Alliance City is considered a very shameful act.

Some of the large transactions were even more outrageous.

If it is a particularly rare treasure, it can only be obtained through barter.

An auction! A massive transaction! An elite team venturing into the Cosmic Secret Realm! An elite team on the Outer Domain Battlefield! Special organizations formed by shared interests and common goals!

These are things that Lin Yan couldn't understand even with his previous level of authority. Many of the treasures mentioned are not even in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury, at least not with Lin Yan's level of authority.

In short... despite having over three million powerful individuals in Hong Alliance City, they control the wealth and survival of humanity and numerous other races.

Super overlords like the Chaos City Lord, the Lord Huang Jian, and the Void Gold Master may share common interests regarding the survival of their races, such as cultivating their own forces to seize treasures, and thus there may be conflicts of interest.

After all, even the rulers of the universe have their own desires. For example, regarding the ownership of "Earth," Lin Yan belongs to the Virtual Universe Company, and the Chaos City Lord himself doesn't really care. However, he has to consider the interests of other human universe rulers, so he must demand that a portion of the ownership of Earth be divided up.

The only way to preserve it is... for Lin Yan to become the master of the universe himself!

This is perfectly normal.

Lin Yan never had any objection to this matter; it's just human nature.

On Earth, he favored Huaxia, even encouraging immigration from other countries; among human races, he favored Earthling, which is why he tried every means to protect them; in the universe, he favored human races, which is why he was willing to fight on Outer Domain Battlefield.

There is internal strife among humans, and those numerous Alien Race also want to seize a larger share and acquire more resources!

"Hong Alliance City is a mixed bag, with various factions scattered throughout. The greater the profit, the fiercer the struggle... But that's precisely why I have a chance to sell those items at a high price. I'll spend some time studying them first."

Lin Yan wasn't in a hurry to go to Hong Alliance City. His items were actually quite varied and couldn't be generalized.

Treasures like the "Three Prohibitions Bolo Leaf" and "Thousand Year Light" are extremely rare and precious, enough to make even three-star or four-star powerhouses fight over them.

The vast resources that King Zhenyu prepared for the Mountain Sea Realm lineage, including various treasures for cultivators at the World Master, Domain Lord, Cosmic level, Stellar level, and Planetary level- level, have a total value of nearly 10 billion Hun Yuan Unit. However, these are mainly used for the cultivation of the clan, and they are all common items with purchasing channels. Therefore, one must identify the demand in order to sell them at a higher price.

After spending three to five days, Lin Yan, with the help of some connections, gained a general understanding of the situation.

Standing in his manor in the Original Zone of Yu Xiang Mountain, Lin Yan directly activated the teleportation. As a member of the Hong Alliance, he now had another target in his teleportation target permissions: "Hong Alliance City".

Whoosh!

His figure vanished into thin air and was directly teleported to another Plane Space.

The highest-level Plane Space in the entire Virtual Universe, Plane Space the most powerful beings gather, is the Yi Hong Alliance Space.

In the boundless starry sky, surrounded by stars, an ancient and majestic city floats—this is Hong Alliance City.

"Buzz!"

As Lin Yan arrived, one of the countless stars surrounding Hong Alliance City also lit up slightly.

Lin Yan appeared directly in his assigned residence. All official members of the Hong Alliance City had the same residence, which covered an area of approximately 3,200 square meters.

Compared to the thousands of square kilometers of the Original Zone manor, this is certainly small, but Hong Alliance City is not a place for practicing attacks, but a platform for all the strong to communicate and gather.

"As expected... In Hong Alliance City, even Universe Venerable maintain the physical qualities of Apprentice Level. Their physical strength and Origin Force intensity are the same. The only difference is their consciousness. As long as they suppress their pressure, it is impossible to judge their strength from the surface." Lin Yan smiled.

In fact.

Back when he first entered the Black Dragon Mountain Island in the Virtual Universe, it was the same. All humans had the same physical attributes, which was designed to prevent fighting and killing. On the surface, there was no difference in strength. Only in special scenarios such as the "Slaughter Space" would their true strength be revealed.

Once you arrive at Yu Xiang Mountain, everyone in the Virtual Universe will have physical abilities similar to those in reality, making it suitable for training, fighting, and combat.

"That's fine. In reality, I can conceal my aura through talents like 'Shadow,' but that won't work in the Virtual Universe. This way, others won't be able to tell my identity." Lin Yan thought to himself, "My teacher told me that very few people know about my joining the Hong Alliance, so it's not appropriate to reveal my identity for now. He said he would wait until I declare that I have entered the Immortal Realm before arranging for the Hong Alliance to invite me to join again."

Yes, "claim".

He simply couldn't easily break free of his constraints and become immortal.

However, unlike Luo Feng in the original work who used the Yan God Clan Battle Armor, Lin Yan is Parasitic Immortal Plant Lifeform, which can completely Divine Power Burning. Unless facing the Lord of the Universe, it is difficult to find his flaws.

When his Law Comprehension reaches level 20, entering the Immortal realm will be a natural progression. In any case, the Alien Race are obsessed with killing him, so breaking through to the Immortal realm won't make things worse; on the contrary, it will cool them down.

After grooming himself, Lin Yan left his residence.

This is a quiet and vast residential area with different styles of houses, but they are all of similar size and are all two stories high.

The inner city is inhabited by Universe Venerable, but their numbers are very small. The outer city is different; it has over 3 million residents, distributed across various districts, each with a fixed maximum of 10,000 residents.

Lin Yan looked up at the sky.

Stars are scattered everywhere, and endless stars unfold on the curtain of the starry sky. Each star represents a powerful figure in Hong Alliance City.

In the distance, there were occasionally some powerful beings that were clearly different from humans, including rock-type and Energy-type Lifeform. This kind of scene was indeed rare in the Virtual Universe, which made Lin Yan feel quite novel.

"Even the lowest-ranking residents of Hong Alliance City are at the level of King Rank, which shows how developed it is. I've long wanted to come and see for myself, and now I finally have the chance." Lin Yan's eyes lit up with anticipation.

I'd like to recommend a book, "Wilderness Live: Creating Civilization in the Bing He Age." The genre is pretty self-explanatory from the title. If you're interested, feel free to check it out.
