Time flies, and three months have passed in no time.

"Master, you have received a new email." Chi Yan's voice rang in Yang Wu's mind.

"Mail?"

Yang Wu, who was sitting cross-legged in the Quiet Room, immediately sent a wisp of his consciousness to connect to the Virtual Universe Network.

Virtual Universe, Primal Region, Yang Wu Manor.

In the study.

Yang Wu sat at his desk, looked at the screen in front of him, and quickly opened the new email.

The email's subject was precisely 'Formal Appointment of Primal Secret Region Domain Lord Level Member'!

This external appointment is a test that the Virtual Universe Company uses to assess the Core Member at the Domain Lord Level.

As Primal Secret Region Member, Yang Wu was appointed to the highest official position when he was sent out to other areas.

As expected, Yang Wu was appointed as the Supervisory Special Envoy of the Virtual Universe Company's Ganwu Branch.

The Virtual Universe Company's 'Ganwu Branch' in the Ganwu Universe Country is mainly divided into the Martial Department, the Commerce Department, and the Military Department. The ministers of these three departments are the highest-ranking officials in the Ganwu Branch.

Among them, the Martial Department is responsible for managing a large number of powerful individuals directly under the Virtual Universe Company, as well as collecting and cultivating geniuses throughout the entire Ganwu Universe Country.

The Commerce Department was responsible for commercial affairs, employing hundreds of millions of people and possessing astonishing wealth, involving a vast array of interests.

The Military Department, however, is not a permanent department of the Virtual Universe Company in each of its Cosmic Nation.

The Human Race comprises 1008 Cosmic Nation, governed by two major powers: the Giant Axe Fighting Arena and the Virtual Universe Company.

Ganwu Universe Country is one of the 504 Cosmic Nation under the jurisdiction of Virtual Universe Company.

Therefore, within the Virtual Universe Company's Ganwu Branch, there is also a 'Military Department' that is specifically responsible for jointly managing the Cosmic Nation's standing Cosmic Army with the high-ranking officials of the Universe Cosmic Nation itself.

The Ganwu Branch wields immense power within the Ganwu Universe Country. The leaders of these three branches, in terms of status alone, are probably second only to the Ganwu Universe Country Leader in the Ganwu Universe Country.

Within the Virtual Universe Company, Primal Secret Region Member hold a status comparable to that of Marquis-level Immortal. Therefore, when they are sent out, their status is equivalent to that of the three ministers, and they wield immense real power.

Moreover, the Supervisory Special Envoy possess supervisory privileges and can oversee the three major departments. If any abnormalities are discovered, they can be directly reported to headquarters for handling.

The email clearly stated that once Yang Wu reaches the World Lord Level, this position will automatically be relinquished, and he will receive a reward of one million points.

During the period of external release, Virtual Universe Company will occasionally issue some special missions, and each mission will have corresponding points rewards.

"The appointment has been issued, and I will be returning to the Ganwu Universe Country." Yang Wu's eyes shone brightly; as this moment arrived, his heart couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

There is an ancient Huaxia Country proverb. "To return home in glory and wealth is like wearing fine clothes at night."

Yang Wu's pursuit of the path to becoming a strongman stems not only from his desire for immense power but also from his wish to improve the lives of those around him.

After all, even if Yang Wu could really latch onto Luo Feng's coattails and break through to Immortal, thus achieving eternal existence...

But Yang Wu in that state would be completely unable to help his loved ones, and he would only be able to watch helplessly as they fell one by one before their lifespan came to an end.

"Earth, family, I'm coming home!"

The image of that azure planet appeared in Yang Wu's mind, along with the relatives and friends he had met there. A hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes.

The Virtual Universe, 'Amethyst Island' under the jurisdiction of the Ganwu Continent.

This is the office of the Virtual Universe Company's Ganwu Branch. At the same time that Yang Wu issued the appointment, the three ministers who had given Yang Wu gifts also received the news.

Inside the grand hall.

Three towering thrones were placed beside the enormous round table, and a figure sat on each throne at this moment.

"Your Highness Yang Wu has already broken through to the Domain Lord Level?" asked the Marquis Jinyu, whose handsome appearance was almost sinister and who had three golden feathers on his head.

Although the Primal Secret Region Member are comparable to Marquis-level Immortal in terms of status, in the end, they are just geniuses.

If ordinary Primal Secret Region Member were sent to Ganwu Universe Country, these three giants would give them some face, but they wouldn't value them as much as they do now.

Yang Wu, however, is different. Given the astonishing talent Yang Wu has displayed, they now address him respectfully as "Your Highness" in private conversations.

"His Highness should have broken through to the Domain Lord Level by now!" exclaimed the ape-man, Marquis Zidian.

He was dressed in a purple robe, around which wisps of electric light emanated.

"Having left Chaos City for less than a hundred years, His Highness Yang Wu has already passed the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge! This is simply unheard of!"

"Perhaps His Highness had already traversed the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain, before his breakthrough," Marquis Zidian exclaimed, his voice filled with envy and awe.

If he had such talent... even just one percent of it, reaching the King Rank level would be a piece of cake!

Although the position of the Ganwu Branch is very high, comparable to that of King Level Immortal, in the end, he is only Marquis Level! He is not qualified to join the legendary 'Hong Alliance'.

While Marquis-level Immortal might dominate a region within Cosmic Nation, it's nothing special within Virtual Universe Company.

There are over two thousand Marquis Level powerhouses of equal status to him in the Virtual Universe Company alone.

"It is an honor for the three of us to have the opportunity to work with His Highness Yang Wu!" the Black Veil Girl, Marquis Heiyan, said softly with a smile.

"However, this Supervisory Special Envoy has the authority to investigate many things we did during our tenure. Moreover, given His Highness Yang Wu's status and position, he may have even spoken directly with the company's senior management. If His Highness is determined to cause us trouble, the three of us are finished!"

"I don't think so!" the ape-man Marquis Zidian exclaimed in surprise. "When His Highness Yang Wu left the Ganwu Universe Country, the three of us presented him with gifts. Would His Highness really turn against us?"

"Stupid Houzi!" the sinister-looking Marquis Jinyu said disdainfully, "You don't actually think that His Highness Yang Wu would care about the value of your little gift now, do you?"

"I'm so unlucky!" Marquis Jinyu kept complaining, "I've only been a minister for a short time, and it's bad enough that I encountered a Primal Secret Region Member being sent out, but to meet a peerless genius like His Highness Yang Wu!"

It's impossible for someone of their status and position to be completely clean.

Even if they keep perfect accounts and destroy all the evidence, if the Supervisory Special Envoy investigates seriously, he will definitely find some problems.

Even if the problem isn't serious, dismissal is inevitable.

If it were anyone else, even with supervisory privileges, daring to oppose the three of them would force them to become adversaries, and they might even take the risk of sending someone to assassinate them.

But Yang Wu...

This had already extinguished even the slightest thought of resistance in them; if they were to truly oppose Yang Wu, they would likely be courting death.

Under normal circumstances, after being mocked by Marquis Jinyu, Marquis Zidian would definitely retaliate.

But now, Marquis Zidian felt a sense of shared misfortune.

"The things your Martial Department did will at most result in dismissal and investigation, followed by a chance to redeem yourself on the Outer-Region Battlefield. But if my Commerce Department were to investigate seriously, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be qualified to go to the Outer-Region Battlefield; I'd probably end up in Star Area Prison."

"Indeed!" Marquis Jinyu chuckled, "Houzi that you mention it, I feel much better!"

"Hmph!" The ape-man Marquis Zidian snorted coldly, his eyes filled with endless worry. "I only hope that His Highness Yang Wu can take into account the little bit of friendship we had back then and show us leniency."

When Yang Wu won first place in the Genius Battle, they had already considered this day and presented him with the Auxiliary Metal Lifeform 'Kashi' as a gift in advance.

What the three of them didn't expect was that this day would come so soon, and that Yang Wu's status was even more prestigious than they had imagined.

If this were a typical Core Member Primal Secret Region, the value of this gift would be about the same.

But what is Yang Wu's status?

Such a treasure is probably not worth mentioning in Yang Wu's eyes now.

"Alright!" Marquis Heiyan frowned and said, "I gathered everyone together not to hear complaints!"

"With Prince Yang Wu's talent, even a great being like the Chaos City Leader would probably pay him some attention. Now that he has broken through to the Domain Lord Level and come to our Ganwu Universe Country, the lives of the three of us are in his hands."

"We have no other choice but to rely on his attitude and absolutely cannot provoke His Highness in any way."

"Of course, we can also take the initiative. I've heard that His Highness Yang Wu has a very good relationship with his teacher, Jinguang Marquis. Even after His Highness became a disciple of the Nine Sword Venerable, he still frequently contacts Jinguang Marquis. We could start from this angle!"

"That's right!" Marquis Zidian and Marquis Jinyu suddenly realized.

Immediately, the two exclaimed, "Jinguang Marquis is truly fortunate to have taken on such a brilliant and talented disciple as His Highness Yang Wu!"

Prior to this, the three of them were the three big bosses of the Ganwu Branch, with prominent status and immense power!

Even for ordinary Early Marquis like Jinguang Marquis, who are at the initial stage of Immortal, it is quite difficult to even meet them.

But now, they're treating the other party like royalty!

The woman in black veil pointed into the void, where a screen appeared displaying a detailed plan. "This is my personally devised solution. Take a look."

Marquis Jinyu and Marquis Zidian immediately looked at the screen.

The woman in black veil continued, "This matter is both a bad thing and a good thing."

"As long as His Highness Yang Wu doesn't perish, his future is bright. We should ensure he has a comfortable and enjoyable time as the Supervisory Special Envoy, which will also allow us to build connections with him."

Marquis Jinyu and Marquis Zidian exchanged a glance, and a sense of anticipation rose in their hearts.

At the same time.

The Primal Secret Region, Wuchen Continent.

Above Yang Wu's palace complex, a triangular spaceship, entirely black in color, was hovering.

"Now, everyone board the spaceship!" Yang Wu ordered directly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Below the spaceship, the Guard Army, consisting of an Immortal God, 10 World Lord, 100 domain Domain Lord, and 1,000 Universe Level warriors, responded in unison.

Immediately, these Guard Army surrounded Yang Wu and transformed into streaks of Flowing Light, flying directly towards the spaceship's hatch.

The spaceship Yang Wu customized was several hundred meters in diameter, which was large enough to accommodate all the Guard Army.

Yang Wu put a great deal of effort into building this spaceship, which was even equipped with advanced technologies such as Planet Destroyer Cannon and E-Grade Laser Gun.

With Yang Wu's current strength, he doesn't need to rely too much on these technological weapons, but for Natie, who is only at the peak of the Domain Lord level, these weapons are indispensable.

Yang Wu sat on the sofa, poured himself and the Guard Army Leader Field each a glass of fruit wine, and smiled, "Field, I'll be relying on you during my time as the Supervisory Special Envoy of the Ganwu Universe Country."

Field stood to the side and said respectfully, "Your Highness, this is simply my duty."

"However..." A hint of panic flashed in Field's eyes. "Your Highness's current status is extraordinary. I'm afraid it's difficult for us alone to protect Your Highness."

Yang Wu's Guard Army includes 1 Immortal God, 10 World Lord, 100 Domain Lord, and 1000 Universe Level.

With such strength, they could probably sweep away a mid-level civilization similar to the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area.

For ordinary Primal Secret Region Member, this level of strength is sufficient, so Field has nothing to worry about.

But this Prince Yang Wu before him had probably become a thorn in the side of the Alien Race, and if he were to be assassinated, it would likely be a swift and devastating blow.

If there are no other arrangements, their deaths are insignificant; the real loss to the Human Race would be the loss of a peerless genius like Yang Wu.

Of course, Field's life was also incredibly precious.

Having finally broken through to Immortal and gained eternal life, he was unwilling to die in vain.

"No need to worry!" Yang Wu smiled and said, "Of course I would value my own life above all else! I already consulted Master Nine Sword Venerable before I left."

Yang Wu said this to reassure the other party.

It's probably common knowledge now that following Yang Wu to the Ganwu Universe Country would inevitably lead to immense danger.

Even some of the Yang Wu Guard Army have applied for transfer.

Despite failing to protect Yang Wu in this simulated experience, Field did not choose to leave but instead steadfastly followed Yang Wu.

This also changed Yang Wu's perception of him quite a bit.

Of course, Yang Wu was extremely confident about the safety of the vehicle.

Firstly, Yang Wu possesses Clone and has an extremely strong will, giving him an exceptionally powerful ability to protect himself.

Secondly, and most importantly.

That means Yang Wu had indeed asked Master Nine Sword Venerable about his safety.

But the Nine Sword Venerable said decisively, "Don't worry, the Ganwu Universe Country is the Core Land of Human Territory. Even if a powerful being comparable to my master were to assassinate you, they would not return alive!"

The Nine Sword Venerable is High Universe Venerable!

Such strength is quite rare even in the universe.

Before Luo Feng's Clone was exposed, none of the assassins sent by the other three top groups within the Ancestral God Religion had surpassed his strength.

Although Yang Wu knew that he had amazing talent, relatively speaking, he was still less of a threat than Luo Feng, who had won hundreds of thousands of matches in the Ancestral God Religion.

"So Your Highness already had a plan in mind!"

After hearing Yang Wu's words, Field finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Yang Wu and Wu raised their glasses and drank together.

It's a bit late, and I didn't reach the word limit. Please refresh the page tomorrow.
