Galaxy City Lord!
We agreed to be brothers, but you secretly became my senior apprentice!
Luo Feng was a little confused.
In the universe, the relationship between Master-Disciple is extremely reliable, even surpassing blood ties. Lin Yan suddenly becoming his senior uncle was something Luo Feng had never expected.
He then recalled what the Chaos City Lord had said: among his junior brothers, there were three who were Lords of the Universe. Luo Feng hadn't thought about it much at first, but now he realized that the Chaos City Lord had mentioned the Darkness Lord and the Lord of Ice Peak, and the last one was actually Lin Yan.
Thinking about it that way is terrifying.
The Chaos City Lord and the Darkness Lord are the top of the top among the Lords of the Universe. The Lord of Ice Peak may be slightly inferior to the Chaos City Lord, but the difference is not significant. As for Lin Yan... his reputation Origin Master has only existed for a few thousand years, yet he has already subtly surpassed the Chaos City Lord in the Primordial Universe.
But--
Lin Yan's cultivation time was not longer than his. Since he was the junior brother of the Chaos City Lord, wouldn't that mean that there was a mysterious and Great Existence behind the Virtual Universe Lineage?
Many ideas quickly flashed through Luo Feng's mind.
"Senior brother, is this your disciple Luo Feng?" The Darkness Lord looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng was immediately startled.
He felt that the space-time around the Darkness Lord was affected by him, and the entire space-time was filled with endless darkness and evil. It was as if an evil song was constantly echoing in his mind, which affected people involuntarily.
"As expected of someone who could teach the Lord of Ghost Marquis, his mastery of the 'Illusionary Realm style' is simply unimaginable," Luo Feng thought to himself. "Brother Hong's greatest strength is his mental state. Being able to become the master of the Darkness Lord, his future is bound to be limitless."
"Luo Feng, greetings to your martial uncle," said the Chaos City Lord.
As soon as he spoke, the surrounding atmosphere became infinitely peaceful and tranquil, sweeping away the influence of the evil and ghostly aura. The two auras were completely opposed, yet equally matched.
"Greetings, Uncle-Master," Luo Feng said.
He then looked at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan sat there, the Chaos Qi flow around his Blue-Golden Magnificent Armor subtly shifting, vaguely resembling scenes of Heaven Splitting Earth Shattering and World Destroying, with various images appearing and disappearing at times.
"What a powerful trio," Luo Feng thought to himself. These three were undoubtedly the strongest lineup in the Virtual Universe Lineage, and second only to the Great Axe Founder among the human race.
"I heard you've cultivated for a little over 100,000 years, about the same as Junior Brother Origin, and you've already reached this level?" The Darkness Lord scrutinized Luo Feng.
Luo Feng said, "Actually, I have been cultivating for more than 100,000 years, and I have also cultivated for a long time in a place where the flow of time is extremely fast."
Upon hearing this answer, the cosmic lords present were immediately relieved.
Luo Feng has only been at the Immortal Realm for less than 20,000 years. No matter how extraordinary he is, he could not have made such great progress. This is obviously the only reasonable explanation.
The Darkness Lord nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Yan.
"Junior Brother Origin, your Earth lineage has already produced two Universe Lords, no less than Peng Gong's Cosmic Galaxy Bank in this respect. Hong's cultivation progress is also quite good, not to mention your 'Sun God Race' lineage." He said, "It is evident that the value of this planet is limitless. You should still remember to put in more effort to cultivate more powerful individuals for humanity."
Generally, the stronger an individual progresses more slowly as they advance, but Hong's progress was not particularly fast at the beginning, yet he continuously broke through his limits later on.
When he first became a disciple of the Darkness Lord, he was utterly useless except for his willpower and illusion skills, and was only taught by the Lord of Ghost Marquis.
However, in the later stages, he even rivaled some geniuses who appeared only once every tens of millions of epochs. He broke through to the level of Immortal God tens of thousands of years ago and directly became Feng Wang level, with the title "King Huan Xin". The Darkness Lord also truly valued this disciple.
Among the many disciples of the Primordial Ancestor, the Darkness Lord is the least like Primordial Ancestor in temperament, but he is the one who is most skilled in "Illusionary Realm style" and also the most skilled in teaching disciples.
According to his judgment, given time, Hong will inevitably become another pillar of the human race, and may even have the potential to become a master of the universe.
"Senior brother, I understand," Lin Yan said with a light laugh.
He was naturally aware of Hong's current situation. In the original story, Hong was destined to become Universe's Strongest, which showed his potential.
And then there's Thunder God... In terms of comprehension, opportunities, and state of mind, Thunder God is a step behind, but after more than 100,000 years, his progress is still remarkable. He is the first among the Original Secret Realm World Lord. If he breaks through, he will definitely become Feng Wang Immortal God.
Of course, Lin Yan also provided him with some treasures that could improve his compatibility with the laws. Although there was a bottleneck to this improvement, given Lin Yan's level, the treasures he provided were naturally extremely precious.
Thunder God didn't rush to break through in order to stay at the World Lord level for a few more years and comprehend the laws.
There aren't many people Lin Yan cares about, besides Thunder God. He also has some arrangements for people like King Tong Nan, King Tian Yu, and Longyu King. Although providing resources isn't enough to break through to the "Universe Venerable" level, it will greatly increase the chances of success.
With their individual savings and Lin Yan's selfless help, there shouldn't be any problem.
The cosmic lords of the Virtual Universe Lineage present discussed Luo Feng for a while, and then the Chaos City Lord spoke:
"Now, all seven Universe Lords of my Virtual Universe Lineage are gathered together." The Chaos City Lord stood up. "Luo Feng, now we will take you to pay your respects to the founder of the Virtual Universe Lineage."
"The founder of the Virtual Universe Lineage?" Luo Feng was shocked, his eyes flashing. "Could it be... that's my Ancestor Master?"
The Great Axe Founder is the founder of the Giant Axe Arena.
Luo Feng has never known who the creator of the Virtual Universe is. His previous authority was comparable to that of top-tier Universe Overlord, and he had tried to search in the Virtual Universe, but he could never find the answer because his authority was insufficient.
"Yes." The Chaos City Lord nodded. "Teacher was the first Universe's Strongest among the human race. I, Darkness, and Ice Peak were all disciples of Teacher. As for Lin Yan ... he received guidance from Teacher in the Virtual Universe. Let's talk about the details as we walk."
Luo Feng held his breath.
The first Universe's Strongest?
"Let's go see the teacher." The Darkness Lord suddenly stood up.
Lin Yan also stood up with a light laugh.
"The Virtual Universe is the greatest advantage of the human race. What kind of being could create such a great creation and teach four universe masters?" Luo Feng was both curious and expectant as he followed.
They then went to the Virtual Universe Origin Land to pay homage to the Primordial Ancestor. It was at this time that Luo Feng truly learned of such an unprecedented existence.
They also learned the origin of Lin Yan's identity as his "uncle".
He felt both relieved and wistful.
Compared to himself, Lin Yan was undoubtedly the more dazzling one. Luo Feng was taken in as a personal disciple by the Chaos City Lord, while Lin Yan was never personally taught by the Lord of the Universe. This had always been a question that puzzled Luo Feng, but from his perspective, it was difficult for him to say anything.
Knowing of the existence of the Primordial Ancestor now brings him a sense of relief.
No matter how legendary the Primordial Ancestor's past was, it could not change the fact that he was suppressed by the Universe Origin. Luo Feng had the help of the Universe's Strongest, "Mountain Master", had an Ultimate Supreme Treasure that no human race had ever possessed, and had Secret Pattern Diagram path that had never appeared in the Primordial Universe, yet he still could not surpass Lin Yan, which made him sigh inwardly.
The Primordial Ancestor did not appear during this visit.
Upon returning to Thunder Island, he attended the Great Axe Meeting, which was mainly to welcome Luo Feng. Afterwards, they discussed matters related to the Original Star and the Cosmic Sea before the conference was adjourned.
The lords of the Virtual Universe Lineage also dispersed, except for Luo Feng, who was summoned by Lin Yan and asked to meet him in the "Mountain Sea Realm".
Since Luo Feng returned to the Primordial Universe, they had met a few times in the Virtual Universe, but it had been a very, very long time since they had seen each other in the Primordial Universe.
The Mountain Sea Realm, Jiuzhou City.
This is a city that primarily governs commercial functions and serves as the main hub for the Mountain Sea Realm to the outside world. It is extremely technologically advanced, with all sorts of technological creations and a dense crowd of people driving the city's operation.
At a glance, one can see powerful figures from all the major human races; World Master and immortals are everywhere, making it look incredibly prosperous.
Some extremely famous families or forces in the universe have settled in Jiuzhou City, but no matter how strong they are, they will not dare to cause trouble here. This is the Origin Master, the authority of the Earth lineage.
Lin Yan and Luo Feng stood atop a skyscraper, overlooking the entire city.
"Mountain Sea Realm".
When Luo Feng first heard this name, he immediately thought of the first candidate of the Earth lineage. He thought of the pain and torment of the Star Tower's Life and Death Inheritance for more than six thousand years, and then thought of today, which made him feel endlessly sighing.
"I came back once before, and when I saw this continent in the starry sky, I couldn't believe it," Luo Feng exclaimed softly. "This is a scene that only appears in dreams."
"Dreams can come true." Lin Yan's eyes were distant. "Weren't the things we said before we went to the Virtual Universe Company also dreams?"
Let's work together! Let's all become the strongest beings in the universe!
At that time, they, along with Hong and Thunder God, had only cultivated for a few decades. They were still young and weak, having just taken their first step on the path of cultivation. Yet, they set off from the Milky Way Galaxy, far from the core of humanity, and began their adventure.
Even today.
Wherever they are, that is the true core of humanity.
The Milky Way Galaxy has undergone tremendous changes, and these changes are proof of its growth.
"Yes." Luo Feng's gaze was filled with memories, recalling his past self who wasn't particularly dazzling. The image in his mind suddenly froze on a certain scene.
At that time, in front of Lin Yan's house, on the damp mud by the lake, he picked up that broken Black Metal Plate, which was undoubtedly a turning point in his life.
Many times, Luo Feng couldn't help but wonder what things would be like now if Lin Yan obtained the Nine Tribulations Scripture and the Star Tower instead.
This question seems to have no answer.
But the next moment—
Lin Yan's every word seemed to explode in his ears like thunder.
Lin Yan said softly, "Luo Feng, I have some questions for you."
"The one who guided the creation of the 'Yan Shen Clan' and the 'Earth lineage' was the Alien Race powerhouse 'Mountain Master,' and during your time World Master, you were able to use the Yan Shen Clan's armor."
"You disappeared for more than 6,000 years when you were the World Master, and the last place connecting to the Virtual Universe at that time was the Star Tower. The Star Tower disappeared in the Outer Domain Battlefield a few years ago."
"The last time the Blood Cloud Hall Master appeared was more than three million epochs ago, but he reappeared a few days ago, and both of us fought against him."
Lin Yan paused, then looked at Luo Feng: "Is that right?"
These words sounded somewhat inexplicable, but when Luo Feng heard them, he was filled with shock, almost to the point of horror.
These are his biggest secrets.
Lin Yan might not be certain, but it was clear that he had guessed everything.
Because he knew it all too well! Back when he first obtained the Nine Tribulations Scripture, Luo Feng told Lin Yan about it, and Lin Yan immediately guessed that the special nature of Earth and the Nine Tribulations Scripture were from the same person. The fact that this secret manual was incomplete meant that this was just the beginning, and that he might really come into contact with the truth of the matter in the future.
When these pieces of information are put together, they are enough for Lin Yan to arrive at many answers.
"Yes." Luo Feng nodded after a moment of silence.
"That's good." Lin Yan said with a smile. "When the Star Tower disappeared, the eyes of Myriad Races Super Existence all races in the universe were focused on it. Your ability to reclaim the Star Tower is a great opportunity, and you must not leak any information about it."
"Huh?" Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.
He originally thought that if this matter were to be exposed, he could simply lay his cards on the table. In any case, with his strength, he was capable of protecting himself in this universe, and no one else could control the Star Tower except himself.
But Lin Yan's attitude was far too indifferent.
This is an Ultimate Supreme Treasure that no human race possesses! It's also the most precious Palace Supreme Treasure!
"I have grown to where I am today, naturally I have my own experiences and secrets." Lin Yan saw through Luo Feng's thoughts and said gently, "You also know now... I was endowed with the first peak bloodline of the human race by the Primordial Universe. The hundredfold Divine Power Burst is due to the Talent Secret Method, but to improve to the Perfect Gene Level at the World Lord level is also against the Laws of Cosmic Operation."
"You have experience with that mysterious and heaven-defying secret manual, so you should understand that some things are not something I intentionally keep to myself, but simply something I simply cannot say."
"We are first and foremost Earthling, and only secondly the masters of the universe for the human race. As long as you keep this in mind, there's nothing you can't do wrong."
Lin Yan wasn't lying.
His System Reward often include some good things, including some secret techniques. However, even the most common Soul Amplitude Secret Method, "Desirelessness," can only be used by himself and cannot be passed on to others. This is a natural limitation.
"Thank you for your understanding," Luo Feng said gratefully.
In such a universe, to be able to meet a friend like Lin Yan is truly a rare thing. If someone else said these words, he might not believe them, but if Lin Yan said them, Luo Feng would not have any doubts.
This is the trust built up over the years.
"Don't thank me," Lin Yan said with a smile. "I didn't originally want to talk about this, but I discovered some special information and wanted to get the answers from you."
"Go ahead," Luo Feng said.
"When you first became the World Master, you practiced close-quarters combat with swordsmanship. Your basic strength was related to the Yan God Clan Battle Armor, but later you used telekinetic weapons..." Lin Yan looked at Luo Feng with a hint of certainty in his eyes.
"It's General Soul." Luo Feng immediately understood and answered directly, "I obtained a treasure similar to the Yan God Clan Battle Armor, which is divided into Soldier Soul, General Soul, King Soul, and Emperor Soul. Only the souls of Earthling can use it, and there are many of them."
Lin Yan nodded.
He was aware of all this information, but he needed to guide Luo Feng to bring it up himself. These "Yuan Soul" sub-bodies were very important to the Earth lineage. With them, a legion of Mental Master could be created, and both the Controller and illusionists would be extremely powerful.
It can make the probability of the elites of Earth lineage perish extremely low, and increase the probability of the birth of Universe Venerable.
He suddenly said, "Luo Feng, haven't you decided on your title of Lord of the Universe yet?"
"What?"
Luo Feng was a little puzzled as to why Lin Yan suddenly brought this up.
"Let's call him 'Galaxy City Lord'." Lin Yan looked towards the center of the Mountain Sea Realm, towards the Glazed Ancient City. "You have such an opportunity, and you should also take responsibility for the future of the Earth lineage."
"That will be the place where you, the Lord of the Universe, reside."
"It will also be Humanity's Holy Land, comparable to the Chaos City of the Initial Universe."
