Task Issued

To obtain Prestige Value, Zhou Lin knew very well that the fastest way was to go somewhere crowded.

"Unfortunately, I should have come before the Genius Battle."

Zhou Lin silently grumbled. The Genius Battle had been the perfect opportunity to harvest Prestige Value. If he had managed to crush Kedi and take first place, who knew how many people would have been impressed by him?

"The Luojin Universe Nation has five first-tier administrative planets," Yiyue answered without hesitation. "They are Imperial Capital Star, Quanyue Star, Mobei Star, Longzi Star, and the most special one, Moling Star."

After answering, Yiyue sent Zhou Lin the information on the five administrative planets through the Virtual Universe.

"Ugh." Zhou Lin was half-lying on the sofa as he finished reading. Each of the five planets had a major family whose ancestor was a King Immortal. They had no need to curry favor with him.

King Wuxing and the others had no choice.

Even if they had never embezzled a single coin, as colleagues in the same company, they still had to treat one another courteously.

Going to someone else's territory for no reason and putting on airs would be incredibly foolish, in Zhou Lin's opinion. Besides, there would not be much Prestige Value to harvest.

As dusk approached, the red sun over the manor gradually dimmed.

Zhou Lin rarely had a moment to relax. He took a few laps around the manor, admiring the scenery while waiting for the three leaders of the Luojin Universe Nation branch to gather.

He had rejected the welcome banquet, so King Wuxing would definitely overthink things.

People in that position had minds that were far too complicated. Zhou Lin genuinely found such matters troublesome and had no intention of wasting his thoughts on them.

The further one advanced in cultivation, the clearer one's mind became. One would no longer be bound by so-called social obligations and would simply do as one pleased.

Although Zhou Lin's state of mind was still somewhat lacking, he understood the mental realm fairly well and had always deliberately cultivated in that area.

Outside Luojin City at that moment.

"King Liuxu, you must keep your temper in check later."

King Hongming, dressed in a blood-red robe, said calmly, "If this Zhou Lin insists on investigating us, don't lose your temper on the spot. Otherwise, you'll give people something to use against you."

"I know." King Liuxu looked fierce. He was tall, standing more than five meters high, which made him one of the taller members even among the human race.

The three whispered to one another a few more times before heading toward the manor.

"We have guests."

The moment the three of them stepped into the manor, Zhou Lin instantly appeared at the entrance to welcome them, wearing the same trademark smile on his face.

"We finally get to meet you." King Liuxu altered his height until he was about the same as Zhou Lin's, then smiled radiantly.

"A young hero indeed."

"I watched that Genius Battle back then as well. Even at the time, I felt that Zhou Lin would surely achieve great things in the future."

The three of them chimed in one after another, like performers in a comic dialogue.

"I was originally thinking of wandering around and harvesting some Prestige Value, but it seems that will have to wait for now."

Zhou Lin figured that no matter how much he expressed that he had no intention of interfering in their affairs, the three old foxes would never truly feel at ease.

It was better to stay in this manor.

There was no need to rush the matter of Prestige Value. With the resources and True Meanings Zhou Lin currently possessed, he had enough to cultivate slowly while waiting for the Virtual Universe Company's mission.

During the small banquet, the three leaders received satisfactory answers from Zhou Lin and all said they would support him in his work.

King Liuxu, in particular, openly and subtly suggested that he could sacrifice some of his subordinates so that Zhou Lin could give the Virtual Universe Company an answer.

It was not until late at night that the three leaders finally left. Zhou Lin rubbed his head. He had spent the entire evening playing along with them, which was even more exhausting than cultivation.

After returning to the quiet room, Zhou Lin carefully investigated the surroundings before sitting cross-legged on the cushion to cultivate.

"I do seem to have the potential to begin cultivating the Great Chaos True Power."

Zhou Lin had currently comprehended the Star True Meaning. Combined with the fact that he already possessed the Chaotic Hole True Meaning, he was naturally talented in this secret art.

Dong Bo Xue Ying had been able to begin cultivating it at the Demigod stage without even mastering a First Grade True Meaning, let alone Zhou Lin.

The real difficulty before Zhou Lin was comprehending a Secret Technique of his own. He simply could not find an opponent to spar with and could only work behind closed doors.

Even when he occasionally connected to the Virtual Universe, he could not use the methods of the Great Chaos True Power. Otherwise, its might would be far too exaggerated.

Of course, given Zhou Lin's cultivation speed, after spending some time, he successfully reached the entry level and condensed complete Water Drop Power within his body.

At that moment, on the edge of the Luojin Universe Nation.

Traveling tens of thousands of light-years farther from this place would take one out of the Human Territory.

On a mineral planet.

"We've received reliable news. Zhou Lin has already arrived at Imperial Capital Star of the Luojin Universe Nation."

The speaker was an Ape Man, but he was no longer his original self. He had already become a puppet whose soul was enslaved by an Alien.

In front of the Ape Man was a virtual image.

"Zhou Lin? He is currently ranked No. 2." The virtual image's appearance was impossible to make out, but judging from its outline, it looked somewhat like a member of the Mechanical Race.

Normally, those near the top of the Alien Assassination List were almost all Realm Lords from the Primal Secret Realm, because every one of them possessed extraordinary strength.

Even the weakest among them could rival an Immortal while still being a Realm Lord.

The outstanding ones could kill Marquises while still at the Realm Lord stage, and could even fight King Immortals before escaping.

The stronger ones were like Kedi. They could rival High-Level Kings while still being Realm Lords, easily kill Marquis Immortals, and would become even more terrifying once they broke through.

How monstrous was the law comprehension required to reach the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge?

"Master." The Ape Man spoke with a fervent gaze. "This Zhou Lin certainly won't remain on Imperial Capital Star forever. He still has to carry out missions. When the time comes, I can try to kill him."

The Ape Man was a Marquis Immortal.

Anyone capable of passing the Cosmic Level Primordial Tongtian Mountain would eventually become a Realm Lord of the Primal Secret Realm. At the very least, they would become a King Immortal in the future.

Using a Marquis to carry out the assassination could not be considered a loss.

"Be more cautious within the Human Territory," the virtual image said slowly. "Only act when you are confident. He has just advanced from the Cosmic level to become a Domain Lord, so he will remain there for a long time."

When Luo Feng had been assassinated, he had not yet become City Master of Chaos's disciple.

Zhou Lin, however, was Palace Master Tianshi's sole disciple. He was also a prodigy capable of passing the Cosmic Level Primordial Tongtian Mountain. After his death, he would definitely be resurrected through reverse time and space.

To truly kill him, one would either need a special secret realm or have to enslave his soul.

Zhou Lin had no idea that he had already been placed on the Alien Assassination List.

Even if he knew, he would not be overly worried. His strength was at the peak of the Demigod level, and he had also eaten the Myriad Flower True Fruit, making him completely no weaker than a peak God.

Not to mention that a First Grade True Meaning itself would possess life-preserving methods.

To assassinate him, one would need at least a Marquis-level Soul Master.

Moreover, Soul Masters were extremely difficult to enslave, and they would almost never be sacrificed in an assassination like this.

Seventeen years passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Lin reached the entry level in the Realm God Secret Art, and his Void Realm True Meaning reached the peak of the second realm. His strength had grown considerably compared to when he had first arrived at the Luojin Universe Nation.

Your Highness Zhou Lin, you have a new mission
