On Lan Shuang Continent, Hong, under the alias "Dong Bo," helped the natives repel an invasion by Void Creatures and received an enthusiastic invitation from them. To thank Hong for his help, they held a grand banquet.
"Thank you, Lord Dong Bo!"
"If it hadn't been for Lord Dong Bo, who knew how many of our people would have died!"
"Lord Dong Bo's divine might is unparalleled. Even thinking back on it now still leaves me shaken."
Several of the natives' most prestigious Eternal True God leaders accompanied Hong, while the other Eternal True Gods and Void True Gods also attended the banquet. Every one of them was fiery with enthusiasm, and their praises never ceased.
This was hardly surprising. Although Void Creatures rarely attacked, each assault caused immense devastation to the Chaos Land. Countless natives were killed or wounded, and even many of the experts who went into battle would perish.
Yet this time, because the mysterious expert "Dong Bo" had intervened, not only were the strongest leaders among the invading Void Creatures all left behind, but the other Void Creatures had fled in terror. They likely would not dare appear near Lan Shuang Continent again for a long time.
With such a debt of gratitude, coupled with Hong's tremendous strength—which even their strongest leaders could not compare to—they naturally admired and respected him.
Hong, the most honored guest of the day, sat in the seat of honor. Dressed in black, with a stern face and an extraordinary bearing, he looked every bit like a peerless master.
He swept his gaze over the natives. The natives of Lan Shuang Continent were themselves divided into various factions. For example, seated first to Hong's left was Yue Rushuang, sovereign of the Dark Moon Empire, the foremost empire of Lan Shuang Continent.
