Lian Qingzhu

Blood God Star, the core of the Lian Luo family, was one of the most prosperous planets in the entire Panshi Star Domain.

At every moment, countless merchant ships and adventurers arrived at Blood God Star, whether to trade or resupply. Of course, any spacecraft arriving at Blood God Star had to follow the guidance of the tractor signals to reach the planetary docking port.

And it was not just Blood God Star. Upon arriving at any planet in the universe, it was absolutely impossible to let spacecraft fly around freely—they had to enter a docking port!

Of course, that depended on the person. If it were a powerful Immortal, even if he acted recklessly, there was nothing anyone could do about him.

Lian Luo had long since put his spacecraft into World Rings, so naturally, he had no need to visit any docking port. Instead, he concealed his aura and form, directly deceiving Blood God Star's defense systems and entering the planet's interior.

These technologically manufactured defense systems could guard against ordinary space pirates, but they were utterly useless against him.

The powerful figures of the Ganwu Universe Country all knew that Blood God Star was the ancestral planet of the Lian Clan in the Panshi Star Domain. This ancestral planet also housed the Lian Clan's temple, where their ancestors were commemorated.

At the same time, the Lian Clan's young geniuses were selected from various life planets and eventually sent to Blood God Star for training.

The origin of the name Blood God Star came from an ancestor of the Lian Clan from endless ages ago. It was said that while this ancestor was alive, he had been an important figure in the Virtual Universe Company and had even been accepted as a disciple by the great Dry Witch Universe Master.

"The original owner has already become a legend!" Lian Luo surveyed everything on Blood God Star with interest.

Of course, he knew that Blood God Star was likely only the Lian Clan's headquarters on the surface. The true essence of the Lian Clan, their family treasury, would not be kept on Blood God Star.

Just as the true core of the Ganwu Universe Country was the Ganwu Secret Realm, and the sacred land of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was that Black Dragon's divine kingdom!

The Lian Clan's sacred land should likewise have been placed within the divine kingdom of the family's Immortal God.

The divine kingdom of an Immortal God was generally a place whose location no one but its owner knew, making it the most secretive of places.

These thoughts flashed through his mind as Lian Luo's intangible divine power instantly covered all of Blood God Star, immediately locating the Lian Clan's Immortal. At the very moment his intangible divine power swept across her, she discovered him as well.

Within an incomparably magnificent temple, a young woman with blood-red hair and a purple robe embroidered with stars suddenly opened her eyes. A trace of confusion filled them. "Whose aura was that just now?"

The Panshi Star Domain lay in the core region of the Human Territory and was protected by the Ganwu Universe Country. Although the Lian Clan was not one of the Ganwu Universe Country's three hundred marquis families, the clan's founder had been a disciple of the Dry Witch Universe Master. Even now, every hundred years, the Lian Clan would visit the Ganwu Universe Country to offer gifts and greetings to the Dry Witch Universe Master!

With the Dry Witch Universe Master as their backer, even Immortal Gods stronger than her should not come looking for trouble with the Lian Clan or with her for no reason.

With that thought, the purple-robed young woman gracefully walked out of the temple and looked toward the distant horizon.

There, a figure clad in pale golden battle armor was flying toward her at an unhurried pace.

Whoosh!

Lian Luo landed in the square before the temple and immediately spotted the purple-robed young woman at its entrance. She had the same blood-red hair as him, and even between her brows... he could vaguely see a few traces of his own features.

When she saw Lian Luo's face clearly, her expression first turned to surprise, then immediately darkened. She coldly demanded, "Who are you?"

Lian Luo was not at all surprised by her reaction. Clearly, she had recognized his identity.

That Universe Masters could reverse time and resurrect Immortal Gods was a secret known only to King Levels who had been resurrected at least once, as well as Universe Venerables. Ordinary Immortals did not know of it at all, nor were they qualified to be resurrected by their race's Universe Masters after death.

That was why, the instant she recognized him, her attitude became cold. She did not know that she could be resurrected after falling by reversing time, much less that her own ancestor, after dying for endless ages, could be resurrected by the race's Universe Master and make a King's Return.

The moment she saw Lian Luo's face clearly, her first reaction had been surprise. But her next thought was that someone had deliberately transformed into the appearance of the Lian Clan's ancestor and come to provoke them.

No one would have a pleasant expression for someone who insulted their own ancestor.

Lian Luo did not get angry. He merely smiled faintly. "I am the Virtual Universe Company's Blood-Robed Marquis. You should have heard my name!"

"Hmph! It seems Your Excellency has come deliberately to provoke us!" Anger appeared on the purple-robed young woman's face. "Do you know that the Lian Clan is protected by the Ganwu Universe Country, and that our ancestor was a disciple of the Dry Witch Universe Master? The Lian Clan is not to be bullied at will!"

Lian Luo nodded to show that he understood, then smiled. "Your name is Lian Qingzhu, right? You took the Universe Mercenary Alliance's Phantom Spirit King as your teacher? Your fortunes have been rather good."

Among Immortal Gods, there were some terrifying existences capable of killing King-level Immortals of the same rank. With a wave of their hands, they could cause a group of Immortal Gods to perish. The very strongest among them could even escape alive from the hands of a Universe Venerable!

The King Zhenyan whom Luo Feng took as his teacher in the original work was such an existence, and among the Five Great Powers, there were quite a few experts comparable to the King Zhenyan.

The Universe Mercenary Alliance's Phantom Spirit King was one of them. She came from the human Chimei Race and followed the exceptionally strange path of an illusionist. As a high-level King-level Immortal at the Soul Master level, coupled with the Chimei Race's talents and the large number of Immortal God servants she had enslaved, she was... even more terrifying than an ordinary King-level Limit in terms of strength.

Back then, Lian Luo had used his authority to investigate the circumstances of this descendant of his in the Virtual Universe Company. When he discovered that she had taken the Phantom Spirit King as her teacher, he had privately sighed over her good fortune. For her to become an Immortal... the Phantom Spirit King had likely helped her considerably.

Lian Qingzhu now did not dare act rashly. Since he knew of the Universe Mercenary Alliance's Phantom Spirit King and knew that she had taken the Phantom Spirit King as her teacher, his background was likely not simple. She asked coldly, "Who exactly are you?"

Lian Luo helplessly shook his head. "Didn't I already tell you? Besides, isn't the statue enshrined at the highest point inside the temple behind you a statue of me?"

"Your Excellency should not lead yourself astray. The ancestor of the Lian Clan fell in extremely ancient times!" Lian Qingzhu's voice was cold. "Since you know that my teacher is the Phantom Spirit King, then you should know the consequences of provoking the Lian Clan!"

"All right, I won't tease you anymore!" Lian Luo explained. "I truly did fall in endless ages past, but not long ago, Lord of Chaos City reversed time and resurrected me!"

"As you can see, I am your ancestor, the Virtual Universe Company's Blood-Robed Marquis, Lian Luo!"

Lian Qingzhu looked even more bewildered upon hearing this. "Lord of Chaos City? Reversing time? Resurrection?"
