The Virtual Universe network, a private space.
It was a dazzling river of stars. There were no buildings anywhere in the entire space, only a magnificent divine hall standing above the galaxy, radiating endless brilliance.
"Kid, when you meet the master later, you must be respectful!"
Te Chen, clad in white robes, once again reminded Shen Mu beside him.
Shen Mu nodded solemnly. "Rest assured, Senior. Being granted an audience with the great Lord Qianwu is this junior's honor."
Seeing this, Te Chen said no more and led Shen Mu into the grand hall above the galaxy.
The entire hall seemed to have been cast from translucent glazed crystal. Five-colored secret patterns were engraved across its surface, casting out shimmering radiance that made the interior brightly lit.
Deep within the hall stood a throne ten kilometers wide.
A figure more than a hundred kilometers tall sat upon it, its entire body shrouded in glowing mist. Its features could not be seen, while a pair of eyes like stars gleamed brilliantly.
"Master, Shen Mu has arrived!"
Te Chen knelt upon the ground with utmost reverence.
Shen Mu also kowtowed. "Greetings, Lord Qianwu."
On the throne, the glowing mist surrounding Lord Qianwu dispersed, revealing a dignified middle-aged man clad in a blue battle robe, his eyes displaying five colors.
"Kid, I hear you wish to take me as your master?"
Lord Qianwu took a single step, appearing directly before Shen Mu. At the same time, his height rapidly shrank from more than a hundred kilometers to roughly two meters.
"Yes, I respectfully ask Teacher to accept me as a disciple!"
Taking Lord Qianwu as his master was absolutely the right choice. Although Lord Qianwu was currently doing terribly, even mockingly called humanity's greatest debtor and owing the fortune of a Universe Overlord.
