Joining

"I don't know you all yet." Lu Yan'an finally sat down.

The nine envoys answered one by one, stating that among the King-level Immortal present, there were a total of 3 humans and 6 Alien Race, all of whom were at the King Level.

"Wow, so many Feng Wang! I feel so much pressure!" Lu Yan'an exclaimed with a smile. "I rarely see so many Feng Wang being conferred titles at once, including many from Alien Race Feng Wang. Even on the Outer Region Battlefield, it's rare to see this."

At this point, since he was still unsure how these Feng Wang from the Hong Alliance had learned about his situation, Lu Yan'an began to adapt his communication style to suit his audience.

"The weakest in the Hong Alliance are all at the level of Feng Wang, not worthy of praise." The leading human powerhouse in sky-blue battle armor smiled. "Your Highness is probably aware of our purpose in coming here. The Hong Alliance is a very inclusive alliance, formed by the Human Race and a large number of other races in the universe. We will never force anyone to join, but once you join, you cannot betray the alliance. I wonder if Your His Highness An Lu Yan'an is willing to join?"

The other envoys also looked at Lu Yan'an.

"Of course I'm willing," Lu Yan'an nodded. "However, I would also like to know why you all invited me?"

Joke.

All of humanity's strongest warriors are among them; who would dare not join? His two teachers are both part of it, how could he not join? Moreover, joining would allow him to meet almost all the King-level Immortal of the Human Race. This is the true core of expanding influence and making friends. However, he still needs to find out how his situation was exposed, otherwise, the consequences could be dire!

Upon hearing Lu Yan'an's question, the leading human powerhouse in sky-blue battle armor smiled and said, "Your Highness possesses military merit records of killing High King- ranking powerhouses! These have all been recorded by the Military System's Combat System. Once the Virtual Universe has calculated and confirmed the military merits, our Hong Alliance naturally received the news!"

"However, Your Highness is truly a genius! To possess the strength to kill High King expert while only World Lord, even with the help of certain trump cards, is still an achievement that others can only dream of."

"Huh?" After listening to the explanation from the human powerhouse in sky-blue battle armor, Lu Yan'an was filled with questions. It was obvious he didn't know his true situation! However, being a smart man, Lu Yan'an wouldn't casually reveal his secrets. So be it, let them be; High King, let them be High King. Whatever makes them happy.

So he simply smiled and nodded, which anyone from the outside would have thought was a nod of approval.

"Bite!"

As the human powerhouse in sky-blue battle armor finished explaining, a dazzling star suddenly condensed in mid-air above the living room.

The stars are dazzling.

Then it gradually shrank into a stream of Flowing Light, flying directly onto Lu Yan'an's battle armor arm guard, revealing a small star.

"Boom!"

At the same time, a hazy human light floated in mid-air. Under that invisible pressure, everyone, including the nine Feng Wang envoys and Lu Yan'an, could vaguely see the light, but they were unable to look up or look directly at it. They were like ants in front of Deity, powerless to resist.

Human radiance bowed slightly, landing gently on Lu Yan'an.

"Human Lu Yan'an!" a voice emanated from Guangcai, a voice so distinct it was difficult to discern whether it was female or male, yet it penetrated straight to the soul.

"Welcome to the Hong Alliance! From this day forward, you are an official member of the Hong Alliance!"

"A cosmic crisis is lurking. Our race needs to survive, and that requires the strong to fight. Fight for the Hong Alliance, fight for humanity. This is the mission of every strong human being, and it is also your mission." The light and shadow gradually faded, but the voice continued to echo in Lu Yan'an's consciousness, and the entire living room remained silent for a long time.

"Fight for the Hong Alliance, fight for humanity..." Lu Yan'an murmured. "Interesting, no wonder he's a being of the Universe Master level!"

Although the City Lord of Chaos and the Lord of Darkness had been suppressing their auras in front of him, the occasional glimpses they revealed, compared to the aura of the human figure just now... indicated that the aura of the human figure was in no way inferior to that of the two of them.

"Hahaha, you must be very curious about this person's identity, right?" The human powerhouse in sky-blue battle armor laughed and continued to explain, "This scene occurs for everyone who officially joins the Hong Alliance. Countless members of the Hong Alliance are wondering who this human figure is. One theory is that it's the avatar of a certain hall master in the Hong Alliance Hall, another is that it's an intelligent system from the Virtual Universe. Since the Virtual Universe System can simulate any kind of pressure it wants, it's quite possible."

Lu Yan'an nodded upon hearing this. These statements all had their own logic, but based on Lu Yan'an's perception, the human-like light and shadow was more likely to be the former. After all, if it were the Universe Master, there would be many things that could not be simulated!

"Furthermore, anyone who has just joined the Hong Alliance is a one-star member! The strength of official members of the Hong Alliance is determined solely by their battle record. The stronger the record, the higher the strength rating. The rating here is based on one-star, two-star, three-star... up to seven-star. It's a very simple rating system. All strong individuals will have star markings on their arm guards or cuffs, making it easy to determine their strength rating."

"That's quite interesting." Lu Yan'an nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He already had a fairly detailed understanding of the Hong Alliance's information.

The headquarters of the Hong Alliance is located in a special plane space created in the Virtual Universe. In that plane space there are countless stars, and in the center of the stars, there is a huge floating ancient city. This ancient city floating among the stars... is the "Hong Alliance City" where countless powerful people live.

Hong Alliance City is a gathering place for the alliance of humans and a large number of Alien Race, and is full of powerful individuals.

It's peaceful here—after all, it's Virtual Universe, so naturally it's peaceful.

Here, the hierarchy is strict—status is determined by strength and contribution, and those with higher status naturally enjoy more power.

Moreover, all new members of the Hong Alliance are initially designated as stars. Their ranking will be determined by the "Hong Alliance City Sub-system" of the Virtual Universe System, based on their real-world battle records and strength.

One star is the level when you first join the Hong Alliance. It is usually the most common level of the King-level Immortal.

Two stars is considered a strong figure among those who have been Feng Wang.

Samsung, the ultimate Feng Wang.

Four stars, the initial level of the Universe Venerable, even someone like the King Shiyue can be classified into this level.

The seven stars represent the initial level of the Universe Master; even the Lord of Tian Shi Palace and the Void Palace Master can be classified into this level.

"Haha, Lu Yan'an, you are now a member of the Hong Alliance. You can now access detailed information about the Hong Alliance. The Virtual Universe has granted you access, and you can see everything. Before entering Hong Alliance City... carefully review some information so you won't be completely clueless when you enter."

Lu Yan'an nodded, then smiled and said, "I have already joined the Hong Alliance. The important matters are settled. Let's all enjoy the banquet together."

"Haha, how could we refuse a banquet hosted by His Highness An Lu Yan'an?"

"A rare opportunity."

The nine Feng Wang in the envoy's party also wanted to befriend Lu Yan'an. After a lively banquet, the host and guests parted ways, each enjoying themselves to the fullest.

In the study.

Lu Yan'an sat at his desk and quickly began to look up detailed information about the Hong Alliance. Although he knew a lot about it and had a certain impression of the Hong Alliance as a whole, there were many things that could only be understood more comprehensively by looking them up himself.

"Wow, there's so much!" Lu Yan'an couldn't help but praise as he looked at the screen. He hadn't been able to get detailed information before because he hadn't joined, but now he was really enjoying it.

Pictures, videos, and text materials are all available.

"What a huge city!"

"Hong Alliance City is divided into the outer city, the inner layer, and the Hong Alliance Hall." Lu Yan'an watched the video and exclaimed, "The number of human powerhouses is astonishing, with about 100,000 King-level Immortal, but the large number of Alien Race combined exceed 300,000 King-level Immortal."

On the video.

An ancient city, suspended in the starry sky and surrounded by countless stars, has a densely packed outer city teeming with powerful individuals... Over 3 million King-level Immortal from various races have gathered here, with those ranked from one-star to three-star residing in the outer city. In contrast, the inner city is almost entirely devoid of people, as seen in the video.

Their strength is divided into four-star to six-star, and they reside in the inner city, which is almost entirely inhabited by Universe Venerable.

At the very heart of Hong Alliance City --

It is a magnificent and mysterious palace millions of kilometers high, like a giant sword piercing the starry sky; this is the "Hong Alliance Hall".

The Hong Alliance Hall is inhabited by the "Seven Stars," and the Seven Stars... are at least Universe Overlord like the Lord of Tian Shi Palace and the Void Palace Master.

The hall masters of the Hong Alliance Hall... are even more extraordinary than the "Seven Stars".

Each and every one of them is an unparalleled Overlord whose mere movement can cause billions of races in the universe to tremble.

"Indeed, tribal alliances are the only way to succeed."

"The top races are strong, and the other races are weak, but the combined number of strong individuals from the other races is enormous, exceeding two million King-level Immortal. The Immortal Expert from the human side barely make up one-twentieth of the total. It's unimaginable what the Hong Alliance would be like without the suppression of top-tier martial power!"

"Thanks to the suppression by these top experts, the entire Hong Alliance is still dominated by humans."

"Humans are the dominant species, occupying vast territories and controlling more resources. Although there are many Alien Race, they can only follow behind humans and try to make a living," Lu Yan'an thought to himself.
