Plans thwarted

In the palace where the King Yanzhu resides in the Wulong Starfield.

The King Yanzhu lay on a stone chair covered with the hide of the Demon Race Royal Family's 'Jiumeng Beast,' while a beautiful and well-proportioned girl from the Illusionary Huanling Race massaged his shoulders and legs beside him.

Lying on the comfortable stone chair, King Yanzhu could clearly see the infinitely beautiful starry sky outside, but at this moment, he was constantly cursing in his heart.

"Yang Wu, Yang Wu!"

"How dare you ignore me? You deserve to die!"

During the banquet just now, he had clearly shown great enthusiasm, but Yang Wu still ignored him.

It should be noted that as the only son of the Venerable Shi Huo, he was treated with great kindness even by some Universe Venerable. Aside from the harm inflicted upon him by the King Zhenyan, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"However, even if Yang Wu is highly talented, he is still a native and has never seen any treasures before."

"I don't know where I heard the news, but I came here to hunt for Garbage Mountain!"

The King Yanzhu sneered inwardly.

For some Immortal God with no background, this Junk Starfield is certainly a treasure trove. But for powerful beings with powerful backgrounds, what treasures could possibly be found in garbage?

It's important to understand that what's transported to this Junk Starfield consists of trash that has already been sorted out on the Outer-Region Battlefield.

If there were any valuable treasures, they would have been taken away long ago.

Even if a few items were occasionally lost, what kind of incredible luck would it take to find them in such a vast, Junk Starfield?

Treasure hunting in the Garbage Mountain is just a bit of fun, while reaching the World Lord Level is an extremely important stage in one's cultivation journey. Why waste time on that?

"Hmph, what is that? He's just a bit more talented!"

"Besides, he's just a World Lord right now. I don't believe he can become that strong."

"The path to becoming a strongman is never easy. Every step is fraught with countless dangers. The more extraordinary his talent becomes, the more those Alien Race want to kill him!"

"Kedi, who was once comparable to my father, perished because of an assassination attempt by Alien Race. I'll be waiting for the day you fall," King Yanzhu thought viciously to himself.

King Yanzhu's talent and comprehension are extremely ordinary. If he relies on his own cultivation, it is unlikely that he can even break through to the World Lord Level.

Fortunately, he had a father with extraordinary talent who became Universe Venerable in just a few hundred thousand years, thus paying a huge price to help him break through to Immortal.

But precisely because of this, the King Yanzhu was also incredibly jealous of other geniuses.

For example, the King Zhenyan, who lived in the same era as him, held a grudge for countless years because he was humiliated by the other party.

Throughout countless millennia, whenever he had the chance, he would seek trouble with the King Zhenyan, not even sparing his disciples or friends!

Just as Yang Wu was heading to the Garbage Mountain to search for treasures.

"The name of Yang Wu, a peerless human genius, appeared on the transaction record of the Wulong Starfield, one of the nine Junk Starfield in the Human Territory. He purchased a year's worth of Taobao time in the Wulong Starfield. It is estimated that he will be in the Wulong Starfield within the next month."

This intelligence, after undergoing hundreds of password changes in the Virtual Universe Network, was finally delivered in a very ordinary email to an email receiving point under the command of a Zerg Race organization that had infiltrated Human Territory.

Within God Kingdom, atop a towering mountain temple stands.

A green-skinned man with a black horn appeared out of thin air in a spacious hall.

In the hall, a figure shrouded in a golden robe sat cross-legged in meditation.

"Hmm?" The Golden-Robed Man looked up, his gaze falling on the green-skinned man like a sharp sword.

"Master!" the green-skinned man hurriedly and respectfully said, "We just received intelligence that Yang Wu, the peerless genius of the human race, has appeared in the Wulong Starfield Junk Starfield regions in the Human Territory, and has purchased a year's worth of Taobao time!"

"Yang Wu?" A glint of light flashed in the Golden-Robed Man's eyes. "He's finally reappeared!"

Whoosh!

The figure in the Golden-Robed Man vanished instantly.

With Yang Wu's current strength, the Zerg Race's infiltrative organizations within the Human Race's territory are simply incapable of carrying out the assassination.

Therefore, this message was transmitted to the Zerg Territory in a very short time.

In a virtual world set up within the Zerg Territory.

The Zerg Mother Emperor, Lord of Yutu, sat high on her enormous throne.

"Humanity's garrison in the nine Junk Starfield is very strong. Even if we send out Immortal God or Universe Venerable, it will be very difficult to kill them!"

"However, since Yang Wu has already left Chaos City, he must be planning to undergo Life and Death Trial at the World Lord Level within the Human Race!"

The Lord of Yutu softly commanded, "Give the order to closely monitor Yang Wu's every move and to find out where he is training."

"Yes!" The Zerg Mother Emperor, Universe Venerable level who was waiting respectfully below, replied respectfully.

The Wulong Starfield is filled with remnants of inter-tribal wars, neatly divided into distinct areas.

Among the countless wreckage, a blood-red triangular spaceship appeared out of nowhere.

This spaceship was not a standard vessel in the Wulong Starfield, yet its appearance did not trigger Wulong Starfield's defense systems.

Inside the spacecraft's control room, Yang Wu looked down at the monitoring screen on his wristband.

"My location has been marked with a red dot, which means it represents outsiders, while the more numerous white dots must be the staff inside this Wulong Starfield!"

Yang Wu quickly figured out how the monitoring star map worked.

Around the red dots representing outsiders, there are usually one or two white dots present at the same time. Outsiders like Yang Wu, who act alone, are extremely rare on the star map.

Soon, Yang Wu chose a place with a lot of war wreckage and parked the spaceship.

Whoosh!

The hatch opened, and Yang Wu flew out of the spacecraft.

"Hmm?" After a moment, Yang Wu's expression changed slightly.

Because he did not feel anything unusual, which meant that the fragments of Soldier Armor and General Armor were summoning the avatar of the Yan God Race Clone.

"Could it be because the Yan God Race Clone is inside my Internal World?"

Thinking of this, Yang Wu quickly had his Yan God Race Clone use a secret technique recorded in the <Space-Time Essays> to Illusion Body, shrinking it to the size of a thumb and appearing in his hand.

"Still no feeling at all!"

Immediately afterwards, Yang Wu flew back into the spaceship and once again traveled through Cosmic Shuttle to another area where war debris had accumulated.

One month later.

In the spaceship's control room, Yang Wu frowned slightly.

"In the past month, I have visited dozens of large war wreckage sites, but my Yan God Race Clone has never sensed anything unusual!"

There are nine Junk Starfield in the Human Territory. Although other star regions may also contain fragments of the General Armor, Yang Wu still sensed the Wulong Starfield, where Luo Feng had collected fragments of the General Armor in the original work.

Unexpectedly, an unforeseen situation still arose.

"Could it be that Luo Feng was able to sense the summoning of General Armor and King Armor because of the special nature of the <Nine Tribulations Secret Manual>?"

Thinking of this, Yang Wu immediately began searching for relevant information about the Yan God Race through the Virtual Universe.

A moment later, a look of disappointment appeared on Yang Wu's face.

"As expected, although the strong among the Yan God Race can use General Armor and King Armor, I have never heard of anyone being able to sense the summoning of General Armor, let alone reassemble countless fragments into a new General Armor!"

"It seems I was too presumptuous!" Yang Wu chuckled self-deprecatingly, thinking to himself, "If the Yan God Race truly possessed such capabilities, there wouldn't be so many fragments of Soldier Armor and General Armor in this Junk Starfield!"

"So be it, if I gain it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's my fate!"

Despite failing to collect the General Armor fragments, Yang Wu was not discouraged.

After all, aside from defensive capabilities, the Auxiliary Metal Lifeform Kashi has a greater advantage in granting power.

After using the General Armor, the body can no longer use the Amplitude Secret Technique, but with the Auxiliary Metal Lifeform form possessing the body, it can perform Amplification again.

Yang Wu came to this Junk Starfield to find General Armor, mostly with the intention of finding a bargain.

After all, it would take him billions of Hunyuan Unit to cultivate an Auxiliary Metal Lifeform that could grant him ten thousand times the World Lord Power, but collecting a set of General Armor would not cost him any wealth.

"Perhaps an ordinary World Lord would gain more power using Soldier Armor, but as the Life Gene Level increases, Kashi still has a greater advantage in terms of bestowing power!"

General Armor Kashi, Elementary King Level Auxiliary Metal Lifeform, as an example.

To perfectly activate the weapon, General Armor needs to unleash World Lord Power (including the Body Amplitude Secret Technique). Once activated, it can increase the World Lord Power by ten thousand times.

However, Elementary King Level Auxiliary Metal Lifeform needs to have a foundation of one hundred times the World Lord Power (Life Gene Level, unable to use Body Amplitude Secret Technique) to fully mobilize its power, but can amplify again after possessing another.

Therefore, in terms of explosive power, Elementary King Level Auxiliary Metal Lifeform is slightly stronger than General Armor, but it is much weaker in defense. It can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

"In that case, I will have to continue cultivating Auxiliary Metal Lifeform in the future, which will be another huge expense!" Yang Wu sighed inwardly.

Cultivating Immortal Level Auxiliary Life comes at an extremely high cost.

Ordinary Immortal God can at most cultivate Auxiliary Life at the Peak World Lord. Even among the Marquis Level Immortal, only a portion can cultivate Immortal Level Auxiliary Life.

While powerful beings who have been granted the King Rank can easily cultivate Immortal Level Auxiliary Life, they can generally only cultivate Auxiliary Life at the Immortal Army Lord Peak or the Early Marquis.

As for cultivating Auxiliary Life at the King Rank level, the cost is even more staggering.

"Forget it, 'the more debts you have, the less you worry.' I'm not going to think about it anymore!" Yang Wu shook his head. "Since we can't collect the General Armor fragments, let's just leave this Junk Starfield!"

As Yang Wu was about to leave the Wulong Starfield, he was once again warmly received by King Longjue and others, who prepared a lavish farewell banquet for Yang Wu.

As for the King Yanzhu, he was unable to attend due to important matters.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, I wish you a speedy rise to become a new powerhouse among our Human Race!" King Longjue and the other three all raised their glasses enthusiastically.

However, King Longjue and the others never inquired whether Yang Wu had obtained any treasures in the Garbage Mountain, or where he was going next.

Having lived for so long, King Longjue and the others had long since learned what questions they should ask and what questions they shouldn't ask.

For a genius like Yang Wu, the level of confidentiality for any information is extremely high.

If they ask about Yang Wu's next whereabouts, and then Yang Wu is soon assassinated by the Alien Race, it will definitely cause them some trouble!

"Thank you all for your hospitality. I'll take my leave now!" Yang Wu said with a smile after the banquet ended.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of King Longjue and others, Yang Wu released his spaceship, which quickly ascended into the sky and, after accelerating to the speed of light, began its Cosmic Shuttle.

Half an hour later.

In a remote corner of the universe, ripples suddenly appeared in space, and a blood-red spaceship materialized out of thin air.

Inside the spacecraft control room.

Yang Wu sat on the exquisite sofa, holding a gorgeous wine glass, and drank the wine in one gulp.

"This place is rather remote, so let's teleport here!" Yang Wu mentally commanded the Auxiliary Metal Lifeform Kashi.

Long before Kashi broke through to the Immortal, Yang Wu had given a large number of Token containing the Immortal God of Kashi to Luo En, an Immortal God with whom he had a good relationship.

Luo En's job within the Virtual Universe Company was to handle transportation missions. During these missions, Luo En carefully placed the Token in various locations within Human Territory.

Meanwhile, some of Luo En's friends will also help place the Token.

Although it has only been a short time, the Divine Power Token of Kashi have already spread to some important areas of Human Territory.

"Yes, Master!" Kashi replied immediately.

Wow!

The Auxiliary Metal Lifeform Kashi, which possessed Yang Wu, instantly emitted a dazzling light, and the hazy light enveloped the surroundings, including the spaceship.

Call out!

Yang Wu and the spaceship traveled together through a temporarily opened space passage and entered the God Kingdom of Kashi.

Within the Within God Kingdom of Kashi, Yang Wu once again opened a spatial passage, directly arriving at the location of the coordinate Token —a desolate planet near the 'Mysterious Land', August Planet.

On the surface of a barren planet, golden light shone.

Immediately afterwards, a blood-red triangular spaceship flew out from the light.

Inside the spacecraft control room.

"Master, we have now arrived at a desolate planet two thousand light-years away from the 'Mysterious Land' August Planet!" Chi Yan's voice echoed in Yang Wu's mind.

"Head straight to August Planet," Yang Wu ordered.

"Yes, Master," Chi Yan replied hastily.

Whoosh!

The spaceship broke through the planet's atmosphere and reached outer space. After reaching the speed of light, it re-entered the Dark Universe.

After leaving the Wulong Starfield, Yang Wu did not immediately head to the Outer-Region Battlefield. Instead, he went to his wife Qianshui's hometown, August Planet.

In the previous simulation, his son Yang Chen was about to travel to Chaos City.

Because he needed to get to the Outer-Region Battlefield as soon as possible, Yang Wu could no longer stay in Chaos City to teach his opponent.

However, Yang Wu had already prepared some cultivation treasures for Yang Chen.

Moreover, since Yang Chen was born, apart from the initial period when Yang Wu seriously taught him, his wife Qian Shui had been the one to teach him the rest of the time, which made Yang Wu feel somewhat guilty.

Now that Yang Wu is about to head to the Outer-Region Battlefield, and there are Kashi's God Kingdom Teleportation coordinates near the August Planet, Yang Wu naturally wants to see his wife Qianshui and son Yang Chen.

After more than ten minutes of Dark Universe travel, the spaceship arrived in outer space of the August Planet.

Before the spaceship even approached the atmosphere of August Planet, Yang Wu had already flown out of the spaceship.

Call!

With a wave of his hand, Yang Wu's blood-red spaceship vanished into thin air. He then transformed into a dark Golden Flowing Light, swiftly breaking through the atmosphere and flying into the planet's interior.

The August Planet has existed for an incredibly long time, so long that a second Universe Venerable has already appeared on the planet.

It should be understood that the Human Race comprises 1008 Cosmic Nation, yet the number of Venerable is only a few thousand.

On average, only a few Venerable can emerge within the territory of a Cosmic Nation.

Of course, after their breakthroughs, these Universe Venerable all belonged to the upper echelons of the Five Great Forces and no longer belonged to a single Cosmic Nation.

Some of the most elite bloodlines in Human Race, such as the Desolate God Race and the Manka Planet People, have only one Universe Venerable among them.

However, two Universe Venerable have already emerged from the August Planet Lineage.

For this reason, the August Planet is extremely famous in Human Territory and is even hailed as Mysterious Land.

Soon, an ancient city suspended in mid-air came into view in Yang Wu's field of vision.

That is the sacred temple of the August Planet Lineage, inhabited only by true Immortal God and a few unparalleled geniuses.

As far as Yang Wu knew, there were tens of thousands of Immortal God living in that Hanging City, which was comparable to the number of Immortal Expert in half a Cosmic Nation.

Furthermore, with the guidance of powerful August Planet Lineage, these Immortal God far more powerful Ganwu Universe Country.

As one of the most talented geniuses of this era on August Planet, Qian Shui is certainly qualified to live in this Hanging City.

Wow!

Yang Wu encountered no obstacles and landed directly in front of an exquisite manor within the Hanging City.

Qian Shui and Yang Chen were already waiting at the entrance of the manor. When they saw Yang Wu appear, smiles appeared on their faces.

Inside the exquisite manor hall.

"Dad!" Yang Chen respectfully knelt down on the ground.

"Get up!" Yang Wu said with a smile, looking at the handsome young man before him.

It's unclear whether it's because Yang Wu's Life Gene Level was improved later in life, but Yang Chen's appearance is more similar to that of the August Planet Lineage.

Fortunately, the August Planet People are similar in height and appearance to Earthling, with little difference except for the mysterious green markings on their bodies.

"Dad, why did you leave Chaos City?" Yang Chen asked, puzzled.

"I've now joined the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company and will soon be qualified to go to Chaos City!"

"I originally planned to wait for you in Chaos City!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "However, my strength is now sufficient, and it's time for me to begin my Life and Death Trial at the World Lord Level. After seeing you, I will immediately head to the Outer-Region Battlefield!"

"Outer-Region Battlefield?" Yang Chen was slightly taken aback.

Qian Shui, who was standing to the side, felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this.

There are countless powerful figures on the Outer-Region Battlefield, and many of them are from the August Planet Lineage and have perished there.

"Ha ha..."

Seeing Qian Shui's nervousness, Yang Wu smiled and said, "Don't worry, with my strength, as long as I'm careful, there won't be any problems with my safety!"

Immediately, Yang Wu had a thought, and a World Ring appeared in his hand.

Yang Wu waved the ring towards Yang Chen and continued, "Inside are some treasures I prepared for you. Use them wisely!"

Just as Yang Chen accepted the World Ring, Qian Shui, who was standing to the side, suddenly paused slightly.

"Qianshui, what's wrong?" Yang Wu asked, puzzled.

"Yang Wu, the ancestor of my August Planet Lineage wishes to see you!"
