In a certain dimension of the Virtual Universe, inside a vast hall.

The hall contained a total of 108 ancient thrones, each occupied by a powerful figure, whether human or from another Alien Race, each radiating a powerful aura.

"The main reason for summoning everyone here today is a message from the Outer Region Battlefield's Military System. According to that message, the human World Lord Lu Yan'an, has successfully killed a High King Immortal God!" A tall human, wearing brown armor and emanating a peculiar aura of law, said in a deep voice from one of the thrones.

"World Lord? Feng Wang? Impossible."

"It's impossible for him to kill High King Immortal. Even the most talented World Lord can only reach the limit of being comparable to a typical Marquis Immortal at the World Lord level! How big is the gap between a barely Feng Hou and a high-level Feng Wang Immortal? I believe you all know very well, right?"

"Hehe, whether this news is true or false, let's put the controversy aside for now. I'm requesting to watch the video of the Military System's oversight. There's no need for further discussion; many things will become clear!"

This immediately provoked denial from other entities.

"Everyone, relying solely on Lu Yan'an, a mere World Lord, he naturally couldn't kill High King Immortal God of the King rank. However... the military merits were accumulated on him, indicating that he used some special means to kill High King. According to our Hong Alliance's internal management regulations, since he has achieved this, regardless of whether he used treasures or any other means, as long as he can kill High King... then we can recruit him." The tall, brown-armored being said in a low voice.

The figure in brown armor swept his gaze across the other super-strong individuals, some human and some from Alien Race, and said in a low voice, "Everything should be done according to the rules. Since it complies with the rules, Lu Yan'an should be recruited."

I second that!

I second that!

Immediately, some powerful beings hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"The Hong Alliance's official members must be true powerhouses from various races! If someone can kill High King using treasures or special methods, it proves their strength. But what I'm worried about now is that it's possible their protector outside the Military System killed the High King. And since that protector isn't registered in the Military System, the Military System will automatically identify them as Lu Yan'an's servant, and the military merit will naturally go to Lu Yan'an. If that's the case, it's completely unfair to the other powerhouses who join the Hong Alliance!"

Atop one of the 108 ancient thrones, a bald, green-skinned powerhouse emphasized, "Watching the battle videos will prove everything."

"Yi Venerable, bring up the battle video." Hearing the green-skinned, bald powerhouse bring up the matter, many powerful beings on the field immediately looked at the tall human in brown armor— Yi Venerable.

"It's not that I don't want to access the videos! Lu Yan'an's viewing permissions for all his battle videos far exceed ours." The tall, brown-armored human looked at the group of administrators below with a wry smile, then added in a low voice, "None of us have the right to view them."

"Ah? Venerable, you jest. How could you possibly lack the authority to view the battle video of a World Lord Level?"

"Wait a moment, let's see if I have the necessary permissions. I'll personally apply to the Military System..."

"Emmm, I don't have enough permissions."

"This is outrageous! He's just a minor World Lord, not Venerable, so how come he has such high viewing privileges for the video?" The once relatively calm hall suddenly became noisy with the more than one hundred powerful members of the Hong Alliance from various races. Clearly, the high level of access to the battle video was something they couldn't understand at all.

Seeing the situation on the field, the tall human Yi Venerable in brown armor said in a deep voice, "I wonder if any of you have heard of Lu Yan'an? It is said that he is a disciple of the City Lord of Chaos, and this should be an authority personally set by the City Lord of Chaos."

Silence.

The other hundreds of powerful beings in the hall fell silent, exchanging knowing glances with a sense of helplessness in their eyes.

The Hong Alliance is an alliance primarily composed of humans and numerous other races.

Humans are the main force, and the "City Lord of Chaos," who ranks among the top three in the Human Race and is an absolute Overlord in the vast universe, holds a very high position in the Hong Alliance. The authority he sets... the Universe Venerable from various races present really had nothing to say.

The City Lord of Chaos has increased the viewing privileges; if he so desires, probably no more than three people in the entire Hong Alliance will be able to watch the videos!

"The Lord of City Lord of Chaos is truly..." a powerful figure from a human subordinate group spoke up. However, he was also wary of the City Lord of Chaos's reputation and dared not speak recklessly, but everyone present could understand the emotions he was trying to express.

"Any objections to admitting Lu Yan'an into the Hong Alliance?" The tall, brown-armored human Yi Venerable was at least fairly certain of what everyone present was thinking, if not completely. However, since the matter involved the City Lord of Chaos, and the other party was a renowned genius among humans, he said no more and then looked at the representatives of the various races present.

No objections.

No objections.

I second that.

I second that.

The various beings quickly nodded, and made no further mention of their request to watch the video.

"Since everything has passed, I will immediately arrange for a delegation of envoys to formally invite Lu Yan'an to join my Hong Alliance." The tall human in brown armor nodded slightly and then vanished into thin air. The powerful beings on the other thrones also disappeared into thin air one by one. In an instant, only the 108 ancient thrones remained in the entire hall.

"Truly a genius of the human race! He's only just been resurrected, yet he already possesses the ability to slay High King. How much does the Lord of City Lord of Chaos favor him?" The 108 Feng Wang experts on the field began to comment one after another. With the City Lord of Chaos as their witness, they were no longer worried about Lu Yan'an's achievements; instead, they expressed envy for the City Lord of Chaos's generosity.

"Heh, I heard before that he was purged and killed because of some internal human conflicts. But I didn't expect him to be resurrected so soon! Judging from this, he must have received a lot of compensation. Otherwise, how could an ordinary World Lord possess the ability to kill High King?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down. After all, this is a scandal. If it gets to the ears of the human race's higher-ups, who knows what they'll say about you!"

In the Virtual Universe, at Lu Yan'an's manor in the Original District of Yu Xiang Mountain.

"Your Highness, those are the envoys from the Hong Alliance," said Captain Hisoka, pointing to the manor gate in the distance.

"Oh?"

Lu Yan'an walked over, his brows furrowing slightly. Hong Alliance?

Outside the manor's massive gate stood a group of Immortal God, each with a different appearance; some were human, others were from other Alien Race, and there were nine powerful figures in total.

"Everyone." Lu Yan'an stepped forward, his expression slightly hesitant. He could sense the invisible Consciousness Pressure from these powerful figures before him; they were all likely at the King Level. Although he could slaughter ordinary Feng Wang as easily as slaughtering dogs, he still showed respect to these Feng Wang, for he had a feeling they had come to invite him to join the Hong Alliance!

"Your His Highness An." The leading human warrior, clad in sky-blue battle armor, smiled broadly. His aura clearly indicated he was a master of illusion techniques. "We are the special envoy team of the Hong Alliance. We have come here to formally invite Your His Highness An to join our Hong Alliance."

Lu Yan'an raised an eyebrow, inviting him to join the Hong Alliance?

Although he already possessed the Invincible King, everything he showed was based on his identity as the "King Huanshi." However, "King-level Immortal" was only a basic requirement for entering the Hong Alliance, and his true self was merely a minor World Lord! He had never heard of World Lord being invited to join the Hong Alliance.

"Please come in, everyone. I was caught off guard by this situation. Shall we sit down and talk things over?" Lu Yan'an asked with a smile.

"Of course we will not refuse Your Highness's invitation."

Led by Lu Yan'an, the delegation sent by the Hong Alliance passed through the vast manor and arrived at the living room.

In the living room, Lu Yan'an had already instructed the servants to prepare a sumptuous feast.

"Please have a seat, everyone," Lu Yan'an said with a smile.

The Hong Alliance members all sat down, watching His Highness An Lu Yan'an with great interest. Since they were arranged in the envoy group, they naturally knew Lu Yan'an quite well, knowing that he was the disciple of the legendary "Lu Yan'a City Lord of Chaos," one of the highest beings in human history.

Furthermore, he was invited to join the Hong Alliance when he was still World Lord, all of which demonstrates that this His Highness An Lu Yan'an is extraordinary.
