Under His Command
After meeting the Original Ancestor, the several Universe Masters from the Virtual Universe Company lineage chatted briefly with Yang Wu before parting ways.
In the vast temple of the Chaos City Leader, only Yang Wu, the Chaos City Leader, and the Lord of Longxing remained.
"Yang Wu!"
The Chaos City Leader looked at Yang Wu and asked with a smile, "Now that you've broken through to the Universe Master, it's time for you to choose a place within my Human Territory to settle down permanently! I wonder if you have a place in mind that you'd like to go? Is it Cosmic Secret Realm, or Cosmic Nation?"
Generally speaking, the strongest individuals in Human Race will guard important territories within that Human Race.
For example, the Lord of Tian Shi is responsible for guarding the Xueluo World, the Star Area Demon Lord is responsible for guarding the Star Area Prison, Chaos City Leader is responsible for guarding the Primal Secret Region, the Initial Universe, and so on...
In fact, the Chaos City Leader had already had this idea in his mind long before Yang Wu demonstrated the strength of Top Universe Overlord.
What the Chaos City Leader didn't expect was that before he could even find Yang Wu to discuss this matter, Yang Wu had already become the Universe Master!
At the same time, the Chaos City Leader couldn't help but sigh, "Now both Longxing and Darkness have disciples of Universe Master. I wonder when I will be able to cultivate a Universe Master for my Human Race?"
Thinking of this, the image of a black-haired youth involuntarily appeared in the mind of the Chaos City Leader.
"Luo Feng?" The Chaos City Leader's heart stirred slightly. "Speaking of which, my little disciple's cultivation speed is not bad. Although he can't compare to Yang Wu, he was able to create a Peak Secret Technique in less than a thousand years, which is quite impressive! I wonder if he will have the opportunity to become the Universe Master in the future?"
In the mind of the Chaos City Leader, with Luo Feng's talent, becoming Universe Venerable would not be difficult!
This is also why the Chaos City Leader took Luo Feng as his disciple.
But now that Yang Wu has broken through to the Universe Master realm at such an incredible speed, the Chaos City Leader naturally has even greater expectations for Luo Feng!
"Indeed!" The Lord of Longxing also looked at Yang Wu and solemnly introduced, "Disciple, the Universe Master of our Human Race usually reside in important locations of our Human Race!"
"Firstly, those places are home to a large number of our Human Race's Universe Venerable, Immortal God, and some super geniuses, all of whom need the protection of super-strong individuals! Secondly, in those important territories of our race, there are usually several Universe Master guarding them, so even if some sudden events occur, everyone can help each other, provide support as quickly as possible, and deal with danger more easily!"
"You've just broken through, and your strength isn't very great yet. Why don't you stay with me and guard the Taichu Secret Realm? Even if some Alien Race attacks, I can get there immediately!"
At this point, even the Lord of Longxing felt a lingering fear.
Fortunately, it was only the Lord of Sky Wolf who appeared in the secret realm of the Solitary Dragon Race. If it had been the two Universe Supreme Being from the Monster Race, his disciple would have been in real danger.
Even with the existence of his Clone, Yang Wu could escape the Soul Annihilation of the Universe Supreme Being in the Monster Race universe by self-destructing. However, this would also result in the Monster Race powerhouse taking away many of his most Supreme Treasure.
"Master, City Lord!" Yang Wu thought for a moment, then said, "This disciple plans to leave the main body in the Primal Secret Region, while the soulless Ting Ni Clone will return to our home town to guard it!"
"Earth?" The Chaos City Leader pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sending Clone to guard one's homeland is indeed something many powerful individuals often do! Your Ting Ni Clone has no soul, so it doesn't need to fear Soul Attack; it's certainly a good choice!"
At the same time, the Chaos City Leader was also somewhat relieved that Yang Wu was able to fuse with the Star Bead at the Universe Level and obtain the means to Clone.
In the weak stage, Clone can play a very small role, since they can easily be Soul Annihilation, or even Soul Enslavement.
However, once one truly becomes a powerful being, the role of Clone becomes increasingly important! This is because as one's strength increases, the possibility of being Soul Annihilation or even Soul Enslavement becomes smaller. Having Clone is like having Undying Body; at most, one might lose some Supreme Treasure.
Of course, even if Yang Wu hadn't fused with the Star Bead at the Universe Level, with his talent, the Human Race would definitely have helped him Possession of Special Lifeform and gain the ability to Clone before he broke through the shackles and achieved Immortal.
However, once one reaches the World Lord Level, the Clone Technique obtained through Possession is far inferior to the Clone Technique gained from fusing with the Star Bead.
Once you become Immortal God, obtaining Clone becomes even more extremely difficult!
And this is precisely the most regrettable aspect of the Nine Sword Venerable's life.
After a moment of reflection, the Chaos City Leader continued speaking to Yang Wu, "Yang Wu, your main body is in the Primal Secret Region, so there's naturally no need for too much trouble. However, if you want to send Clone to guard Earth, I'm afraid you'll need to spend some resources to build it up!"
"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded earnestly.
In fact, long after the secrets of Earth were exposed, the Human Race had already begun to transform the Earth.
Of course, unlike in the original story, this time the transformation of Earth was entirely based on the opinions of Earthling.
In less than a year, the entire Earth has been transformed into an extremely safe planet, perhaps even comparable to the administrative planets of major Cosmic Nation.
Moreover, the Human Race even dispatched a Universe Overlord to the Solar System to guard it, demonstrating the extreme importance they place on Earth.
But now that Yang Wu has become the Universe Master, he has to return to his hometown to guard it, so the original transformation plans are somewhat inadequate.
After all, within the Human Race, the places guarded by the Universe Master and the places guarded by the Universe Venerable are vastly different.
"Since you, Yang Wu, intend to guard your homeland, then rebuild the entire Milky Way Galaxy!" The Chaos City Leader said earnestly, "You have just become the Universe Master, so you probably don't have many resources. The cost of this reconstruction will be covered by my Virtual Universe Company! As for Venerable Sharp Gold, there's no need for him to return; he will serve under your command from now on!"
"Lord of the City!" Yang Wu couldn't help but say, "I also have some resources on me, which should be enough to transform the Milky Way Galaxy!"
Yang Wu has received tremendous help from the Human Race throughout his growth. He even received a Top-tier Supreme Treasure after becoming the Universe Master, so he naturally doesn't want to continue to owe his race anything!
"Yang Wu, you don't need to think too much."
The Chaos City Leader shook his head and said seriously, "Now that you have become the Universe Master, your race has bestowed upon you treasures, and my Virtual Universe Company naturally must also show its appreciation!"
"Moreover, after the Milky Way Galaxy is terraformed, it will become a major stronghold for our Human Race, and it will be extremely important to us. Even in normal times, our Human Race is constantly building up these strongholds! When you guard the Milky Way Galaxy in the future, you will also be able to continuously cultivate strong individuals for our Human Race!"
"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded and said.
The headquarters of the Five Great Forces are all important locations built by the Human Race at the cost of endless resources.
Building these important sites certainly requires an abundance of resources, but it also demonstrates the strength of the Human Race to billions of species in the universe.
"By the way!" The Chaos City Leader looked at Yang Wu and continued, "Yang Wu, your cultivation speed is really too fast. You don't have any manpower under your command at all! However, now that you have become the Universe Master, why not select some Universe Venerable from my Human Race to take under your command, or directly accept them as disciples? They can help you handle some trivial matters in the future!"
"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded earnestly.
Yang Wu's cultivation speed is so fast that the only person he can currently use is the Black Crow King, whom he enslaves on the Outer-Region Battlefield.
In the future, guarding this important area, relying solely on the Black Crow King would be insufficient to handle the numerous daily affairs. After all, the opponent's strength was still too low. If any troublesome matters arose, Yang Wu couldn't possibly handle them personally every time.
"We could ask Master Nine Sword Venerable for his opinion on this matter and select a few Universe Venerable from the clan!" Yang Wu thought to himself.
The Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters, in the manor of the Nine Sword Venerable.
Inside the manor hall, three figures were conversing: Nine Sword Venerable, Kandeli, and Venerable Azure Dragon.
After the Lord of Longxing led Yang Wu and the others back to the core territory of the Human Race, he left alone with Yang Wu. As for the Nine Sword Venerable and the other two, at Yang Wu's suggestion, they went directly to the Nine Sword Venerable's manor.
At this time, the three Nine Sword Venerable had already received the mass email sent by the Chaos City Leader, and learned of Yang Wu's new title of Universe Master.
"This is unbelievable!!"
Sitting to the side, the Venerable Azure Dragon couldn't help but sigh, "I'm afraid that even in the incredibly long history of the vast universe, there has never been such an incredible super being as the Time Lord!"
It can be said that the three of them, including the Nine Sword Venerable, were the most shocked by Yang Wu becoming the Universe Master.
After all, Yang Wu broke through right before their eyes. Before his breakthrough, he even killed a Top Universe Overlord. After his breakthrough, he was even able to contend with veteran Universe Master like the Lord of Sky Wolf.
Upon hearing this, the Nine Sword Venerable, seated in the main seat, nodded in serious agreement.
Normally, Yang Wu, as the most prized disciple of the Nine Sword Venerable, would still be humble even when praised like this.
But now there is no need for that at all, because in the eyes of the Nine Sword Venerable, in this vast universe, whether in the past or the future, it is absolutely impossible for a peerless figure to appear who is more heaven-defying than his disciple.
"Nine Swords!" Kandeli, sitting on the other side, suddenly asked, "What do you think of our relationship?"
"Kandeli, what's wrong with you...?"
Nine Sword Venerable was somewhat puzzled, but still replied, "Since I participated in the Genius Battle, I have been taken care of by you, Kandeli. Over hundreds of thousands of epochs, our friendship goes without saying."
The relationship between Nine Sword Venerable and Kandeli was naturally excellent; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to invite Kandeli to explore the secret realm in Chaos City.
"I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor, Nine Swords. I wonder if you could agree?" Kandeli suddenly asked.
"This..."
Upon hearing Kandeli's words, the Nine Sword Venerable hesitated for a moment.
Normally, given the relationship between Nine Sword Venerable and Kandeli, he would have agreed without hesitation.
But now, at the point when Yang Wu is about to Universe Master, the Nine Sword Venerable has to be more cautious.
After all, Kandeli is far superior to him in both strength and connections, and under normal circumstances, he wouldn't need Candri's help.
Now that the other party has spoken, it's highly likely they need Yang Wu's help, so the Nine Sword Venerable certainly won't agree rashly.
Then, the Nine Sword Venerable asked, "Kandeli, you need to tell me the specifics first so I can know if I can help you!"
"Don't worry!" Kandeli smiled and said, "This is a trivial matter for you, Nine Swords!"
"Now that the Time Lord has become the Universe Master, he probably doesn't have any capable subordinates by his side. I just want you to help me put in a good word and say that I want to serve under the Time Lord!" Kandeli said slowly.
Upon hearing this, the Venerable Azure Dragon on the other side also lit up and quickly said, "Nine Swords, I also want to serve under the Time Lord!"
It's important to understand that Universe Venerable of the Universe Master as his backer is naturally different from Universe Venerable who has no such backer.
Just like the Nine Sword Venerable, who was merely an ordinary disciple under the Lord of Longxing, he was immediately bestowed with a Supreme Treasure after becoming Universe Venerable.
Such an opportunity is enough to make other Universe Venerable who failed to become disciples of the Universe Master envious and jealous!
Moreover, Yang Wu has just become the Universe Master and doesn't have any powerful figures under his command. Once they join, they will immediately become one of the earliest Elder.
As Yang Wu's strength grows, their status among the Human Race will naturally rise.
As for whether Yang Wu's strength will continue to grow, even a fool could see that!
"I can give that a try!" The Nine Sword Venerable nodded slowly.
In his view, after Yang Wu became the Universe Master, he should have taken on some Universe Venerable to help with daily affairs. So, he thought it would be appropriate to recommend Kandeli and Venerable Azure Dragon.
Just as the three were talking, a figure suddenly appeared outside the hall. It was Yang Wu, whose consciousness had returned to reality and who had rushed to the manor.
After discussing the transformation of the Milky Way Galaxy with the Chaos City Leader in the Virtual Universe, Yang Wu exchanged a few more words with his teacher, the Lord of Longxing, before taking his leave and directly arriving at the Nine Sword Venerable's manor via the God Kingdom Teleportation.
For the past few thousand years, Yang Wu's Clone has been cultivating here, so he is naturally very familiar with this manor and therefore came directly to the outside of the hall.
"Teacher!" Yang Wu stepped into the hall, smiling as he asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Time Lord!"
"Time Lord!"
Upon seeing Yang Wu appear, Kandeli and the Venerable Azure Dragon immediately stood up and greeted him with utmost respect.
"Yang Wu!" On the other side, the Nine Sword Venerable, who was on the main seat, also stood up hurriedly, even looking somewhat at a loss.
It should be noted that, apart from Yang Wu, the Nine Sword Venerable's strongest disciple is only a Marquis Immortal God, and he has never experienced anything like this before.
If he hadn't known Yang Wu's personality beforehand, the Nine Sword Venerable probably wouldn't have dared to address Yang Wu by his name directly.
Seeing that the Nine Sword Venerable seemed to be in a bad state, Yang Wu immediately bowed and said, "I will always remember your teachings, Master, and you will always be my teacher!"
Yang Wu would never forget the various forms of help the Nine Sword Venerable had given him over the past thousands of years.
At the Universe Level, the Nine Sword Venerable had helped him become a Lord of Longxing and obtain the invaluable Clone Technique; during his secluded cultivation in Chaos City, the Nine Sword Venerable prepared countless precious secret techniques for him; before heading to the Outer-Region Battlefield, the Nine Sword Venerable also prepared two precious Heavy Treasure for him...
Especially when he first became a disciple, Yang Wu's comprehension was not as amazing as it is now. In the simulation experience, he was even surpassed by Bolan and the others. However, the Nine Sword Venerable's help to him was as consistent as ever!
Although Yang Wu could have slowly risen to prominence by relying on the Time Simulator even without becoming a disciple of the Nine Sword Venerable, he certainly wouldn't have had the opportunities he has now!
"Nine Swords has truly taken on a fine disciple!"
On the other side, Kandeli and Venerable Azure Dragon were deeply moved by Yang Wu's attitude.
Generally speaking, after Yang Wu became the Universe Master, even as a disciple of the Nine Sword Venerable, there was no need for him to continue bowing and paying respects; normal conversation between the two was sufficient.
Moreover, Yang Wu and the Nine Sword Venerable had spent far too little time together, less than ten thousand years, so where did such a deep bond come from?
Yet Yang Wu is still willing to bow and pay homage to the Nine Sword Venerable. Isn't this a sign of respect for one's teacher?
"Hahaha, I understand!" The Nine Sword Venerable smiled and quickly said, "Yang Wu, come, sit down!"
After saying that, he pulled Yang Wu to sit down next to him.
After Yang Wu sat down, he looked at Kandeli and the Nine Sword Venerable, who were still standing respectfully in front of him, and said with a smile, "You two are my teacher's good friends and can be considered elders. Please sit down!"
However, after hearing these words, Kandeli and the Venerable Azure Dragon remained unmoved and stood still in place.
Although the Universe Master and the Universe Venerable were seated at the Supreme Council of the Human Race, they were both hoping for an opportunity to serve under Yang Wu, so how could they dare to sit in front of Yang Wu?
Seeing this, Yang Wu didn't say anything more, but instead presented the two World Rings to Kandeli and the Venerable Azure Dragon.
"Kandeli, Venerable Azure Dragon!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "We gained quite a lot in the Solitary Dragon Race's secret realm; this is your share!"
Looking at the World Ring before them, Kandeli and Venerable Azure Dragon exchanged a glance, then bowed and said, "Time Lord, we would rather forgo the treasures than serve under you and handle your daily affairs!"
"This..." Yang Wu looked at the Nine Sword Venerable beside him.
Seeing this, the Nine Sword Venerable quickly said, "Yang Wu, Kandeli and Qinglong are quite strong among the many Universe Venerable of our Human Race, and neither of them has taken a position under any other Universe Master. If possible, why not have them help you with some daily affairs?"
"Kandeli, Qinglong!" Yang Wu looked at the two of Kandeli and said with a smile, "Since you want to serve under me, I am naturally willing. However, I plan to be stationed in the Milky Way Galaxy within the Ganwu Universe Country. One of you is the Universe Country Lord, and the other is the 'Guardian of the Chaos Stele.' Could you possibly accompany me to guard the Milky Way Galaxy?"
In Yang Wu's view, these two already had their own responsibilities, and if they were to join his ranks, their original jobs would naturally become difficult to handle.
But at that moment, both Kandeli and the Venerable Azure Dragon spoke up.
"Time Lord!" the Venerable Azure Dragon said earnestly, "If I could serve under your command, I would immediately apply to my clan to relinquish my status as the ruler of the Canglong Universe Kingdom and reside permanently with you in the Milky Way Galaxy!"
For Venerable Azure Dragon, the status of a Universe Country Lord, while stronger than that of an ordinary Universe Venerable, was still far inferior to that of Venerable under Yang Wu's command. Therefore, he gave it up without any hesitation.
On the other side, Kandeli said in the same way, "Time Lord, when I guarded the Chaos Stele, I was merely accepting a mission issued by my race. If I could become your subordinate, I would immediately resign from this mission and stay with you in the Milky Way Galaxy!"
"Alright!" Yang Wu looked at Kandeli and the other man, then said, "From now on, you two will be responsible for handling some of my daily affairs! As for these two World Rings, please accept them!"
"Time Lord!" Kandeli and Venerable Azure Dragon bowed deeply in thanks.
"Haha, no need for formalities!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "My Virtual Universe Company is about to make great strides in transforming the entire Milky Way Galaxy. From now on, these matters will be overseen by the two of you and Venerable Sharp Gold!"
"It is our honor to serve our lord!" Kandeli and his companion looked at Yang Wu, their faces filled with excitement.
That Venerable Sharp Gold not only possessed the strength of Universe Overlord, but was also the personal disciple of the Chaos City Leader. Under normal circumstances, even Kandeli would be slightly inferior in status and position, let alone Venerable Azure Dragon.
But now, the three of them are to jointly oversee the transformation of the Milky Way Galaxy!
Then, Yang Wu waved his hand and bestowed two more tokens upon Kandeli and the Venerable Azure Dragon.
"This is my Token!" Yang Wu smiled and said, "If you encounter any emergency, you can crush it. Once I sense it, I will arrive as quickly as possible!"
"Yes!" Kandeli and the Venerable Azure Dragon quickly and respectfully replied.
Yang Wu nodded, then ordered, "Go!"
"Yes!" Kandeli and Venerable Azure Dragon bowed respectfully and then left Nine Sword Venerable's manor.
They knew perfectly well that Yang Wu must have something else to say to the Nine Sword Venerable.
At the same time, Kandeli and the other man also felt great envy towards the Nine Sword Venerable.
Because they knew very well that their former friend was about to soar to great heights!
