Lian Qingzhu

As the core of the Lian Clan, Blood God Star 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, either for trade or resupply. Of course, any spacecraft reaching Blood God Star had to follow the guidance signals and dock at the planet's port. It wasn't just Blood God Star—arriving at any planet in the universe, you were absolutely never allowed to fly your ship around freely; you had to enter the docking port!

Naturally, this depended on the person. If a powerful Immortal God decided to act recklessly, no one could do anything about it.

Lian Luo had long since put his spacecraft into his World Ring, so he naturally wouldn't bother with any docking port. Instead, he concealed his aura and form, directly fooling Blood God Star's defense system and entering the planet's interior. These technological defense systems could guard against ordinary space pirates, but against him, they were utterly useless.

The strong of the Ganwu Universe Country all knew that Blood God Star was the ancestral star of the Panshi Star Domain's 'Lian Clan.' On this ancestral star stood the Lian Clan's temple, where they paid homage to their ancestors.

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

As for the name Blood God Star, it originated from a Lian Clan ancestor from endless ages past. It was said that when that ancestor was alive, he was a major figure in the Virtual Universe Company and was even taken as a disciple by the great Dry Witch Universe Master.

"The original body has become a legend!" Lian Luo remarked with interest, taking in everything on Blood God Star.

Of course, he knew that Blood God Star was likely just the Lian Clan's overt headquarters. The clan's true essence, its family treasury, would not be placed on Blood God Star. Just as the true core of the Ganwu Universe Country was the Ganwu Secret Realm, and the sacred ground of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was that Black Dragon's divine kingdom!

The Lian Clan's sacred ground should also be placed within the divine kingdom of the clan's Immortal God.

An Immortal God's divine kingdom was generally unknown to anyone but themselves, making it the most secretive place.

These thoughts flashed through his mind as Lian Luo's ethereal divine power instantly enveloped the entire Blood God Star, immediately locating the position of the Lian Clan's Immortal God. And just as his ethereal divine power swept over that person, they detected him as well.

Inside a grand and majestic temple, a young woman with blood-red hair, draped in a purple starry robe, suddenly opened her eyes, a trace of confusion in them: "That aura just now... who is it?"

The Panshi Star Domain was located in the core region of Human Territory and was under the protection of the Ganwu Universe Country. Although the Lian Clan was not one of the three hundred marquis families of the Ganwu Universe Country, their clan's founder was a disciple of the Dry Witch Universe Master. Even now, every hundred years, the Lian Clan sent gifts and greetings to the Dry Witch Universe Master!

With the Dry Witch Universe Master as their backing, even a more powerful Immortal God should have no reason to provoke the Lian Clan or cause her trouble.

Thinking this, the purple-robed young woman gracefully walked out of the temple, her gaze fixed on the distant sky.

There, a figure clad in light golden battle armor was flying unhurriedly toward her.

"Swish!"

Lian Luo landed on the square before the temple and immediately spotted the purple-robed young woman at the temple entrance. She had the same blood-red hair as him, and even her brow... seemed to faintly carry a shadow of his own features.

Seeing Lian Luo's appearance clearly, the young woman's face first showed surprise, then quickly turned grim. She coldly barked, "Who are you?"

Lian Luo wasn't surprised by her reaction. Clearly, she recognized his identity.

Universe Masters could reverse spacetime to revive Immortal Gods—this was a secret known only to King-level Immortals who had been revived at least once, and to Universe Venerables. Ordinary Immortals had no idea about it, nor were they qualified to be revived by the race's Universe Masters after death.

So, the moment she recognized his identity, her attitude turned cold. She had no idea that one could be revived through reversed spacetime after falling, nor did she know that their long-dead ancestor would be brought back by the race's Universe Master, returning as a king.

Seeing Lian Luo's appearance, her first reaction was shock, but then she assumed someone had deliberately transformed into the likeness of her Lian Clan's ancestor to come and provoke them.

Anyone would show no kindness to someone insulting their ancestor.

Lian Luo didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "I am the 'Blood-Robed Marquis' of the Virtual Universe Company. You should have heard of my name."

"Hmph! It seems you've come to provoke us deliberately!" The purple-robed young woman's face showed anger. "Do you know that my Lian Clan is under the protection of the Ganwu Universe Country, and our ancestor was a disciple of the Dry Witch Universe Master! My Lian Clan is not to be bullied!"

Lian Luo nodded, indicating he understood, then smiled and said, "You're Lian Qingzhu, right? You've taken the Universe Mercenary Alliance's Phantom Spirit King as your master? Not a bad fortune."

Among Immortal Gods, there were some terrifyingly powerful beings. Each of them could kill fellow King-level Immortals, and with a wave of their hand, they could slay a group of Immortals. The most elite among them could even escape from Universe Venerables!

In the original story, Luo Feng's master, Zhenyan King, was such an existence, and among the Five Great Powers, there were many strong figures on par with Zhenyan King.

The Universe Mercenary Alliance's Phantom Spirit King was one of them. She hailed from the human Chimei Race and walked the path of an eerie illusionist. As a high-level King-level Soul Master, combined with the Chimei Race's innate talents and her army of enslaved Immortal God servants, in terms of strength... she was even more fearsome than an ordinary King-level Limit.

Back then, Lian Luo used his authority within the Virtual Universe Company to look into the situation of this descendant of his. Finding out she had taken Phantom Spirit King as her master, he secretly marveled at her good fortune. Becoming an Immortal... Phantom Spirit King had likely helped her a great deal.

Lian Qingzhu, however, now dared not act rashly. Knowing about the Universe Mercenary Alliance's Phantom Spirit King and that she had taken her as a master meant this person's background was no simple matter. She said coldly, "Who exactly are you?"

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

"Don't bring trouble upon yourself. My Lian Clan's ancestor fell in ancient times!" Lian Qingzhu's voice was icy. "Since you know my master is Phantom Spirit King, you should know the consequences of provoking my Lian Clan!"

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you!" Lian Luo explained. "I did fall in the endless ages past, but not long ago, I was revived by the Lord of Chaos City through reversed spacetime!"

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

Hearing this, Lian Qingzhu was even more bewildered. "Lord of Chaos City? Reversed spacetime? Revival?"
