Inside a private room of a restaurant in Hong Alliance City.

Lu Yan'an was leisurely sipping his fruit wine, a specialty of the universe that suited the tastes of most powerful individuals. This was precisely why its sales had consistently remained high.

Snap! Snap!

A knock sounded on the door, and a specially dressed servant in the private room gently tapped the wall. Suddenly, a figure appeared on the blank screen on the wall. His whole body was wrapped in a black robe, and he exuded a mysterious aura. It was "Tianmeng King," an intelligence friend that Lu Yan'an had befriended under the identity of a human "Jue."

Lu Yan'an glanced at it, then nodded to the servant, who then opened the door.

"Whoosh." The door to the private room opened.

Tianmeng King entered from outside the private room.

"You may leave," Lu Yan'an instructed the servant.

"Yes."

The servants withdrew, the door closed, and only Lu Yan'an and Tianmeng King remained in the private room.

"'Absolute,' oh no, I should call you the King Huanshi now... It hasn't been long, and you've already got business coming to me again?" Tianmeng King laughed, sitting down directly opposite Lu Yan'an. "But I've heard recently that you've gotten yourself into quite a mess! And now you still want to wander around outside?"

Tianmeng King was High King immortal who had previously interacted with Lu Yan'an. It was Lu Yan'an who used the God Kingdom Teleportation to send him to the location of Thick Earth King.

In the past, he had been rather obsequious to the human "Jue," but this time, Lu Yan'an caused such a huge uproar and his fame soared. When Tianmeng King learned of this, he was also shocked. He did not expect that this human "Jue" would be so powerful.

"I need your help with something," Lu Yan'an said directly.

"If King Huanshi is in trouble, I will naturally do my best to help. I just don't know... what abilities I have to help you, King Huanshi." Tianmeng King looked at Lu Yan'an.

"Tell me the exact coordinates of the King Jiming!" Lu Yan'an said directly. "Once you confirm it, use your God Kingdom to teleport me there, and then go claim your reward from the King Jiming."

"Phew, the King Huanshi is really generous." The Tianmeng King glanced at Lu Yan'an. "Isn't this a reverse sale of you? Are you sure there's no problem with this?"

"Mm." Lu Yan'an nodded.

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng King smiled and said, "King Jiming is currently in the 'Neutron Star Region,' one of the most dangerous and terrifying places outside the Yuanming Continent in the Fourth Battlefield of the Outer Region Battlefield. I will take you there now. Once you arrive, I will have my Machine Race servants tell King Jiming your coordinates so that he can come to find you in person!"

"Hmm." Lu Yan'an smiled and nodded. "Then I'll leave it to you, Tianmeng King. I have faith in your abilities."

Immediately afterward, Lu Yan'an stood up and vanished into thin air.

Tianmeng King, holding the teacup beside him, smiled thoughtfully, "This seems interesting. This King Huanshi is quite extraordinary and worth befriending."

Inside the Barracks Base.

"Back then, I placed a token of my auxiliary plant life inside one of the meteorites in the Neutron Star Region," Tianmeng King laughed.

"Then let's set off," Lu Yan'an ordered.

Buzz...

A hazy light appeared, and standing within its sphere, Lu Yan'an could vaguely see the scenery of a distant God Kingdom.

Wow!

Lu Yan'an, the Tianmeng King, was directly teleported away from the Barracks No. 44 base of the Fourth Star Sector Battlefield.

They were first teleported to the Tianmeng King's God Kingdom, and then teleported again, arriving in the Neutron Star Region in an instant.

The Neutron Star Region consists of two neutron stars with extremely wide dispersion. Due to their terrifying mass, the gravitational influence of these two neutron stars extends over a diameter of more than 10 light-years. The interaction between these two neutron stars not only makes the surrounding space extremely unstable, but also continuously attracts a large amount of matter from afar into their region.

"King Huanshi, this Neutron Star Region is quite a spectacle in the entire Fourth Star Sector Battlefield," Tianmeng King said with a smile.

"Upon entering the Neutron Star Region, the suction was extremely strong. The deeper we went, the more terrifying the suction became, like a black hole. The closer we got to the two neutron stars, the more astonishing the attraction became. Eventually, it became completely impossible to escape this gravity," Tianmeng King continued. "The powerful gravity inside even affected the surrounding spacetime; even King-level Immortal could not survive under its influence!"

"Mm." Lu Yan'an nodded.

There are many dangerous places on the Outer Region Battlefield, and each place has its own characteristics. This Neutron Star Region is just one of many dangerous places. If it weren't for the fact that the King Jiming chose this place as the battlefield, Lu Yan'an probably would never have come here in his life. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to the introduction of this place.

Splash...

A dwarf planet, over a hundred kilometers in diameter, is constantly rotating and flying in one of the Neutron Star Region.

"This dwarf planet is moving so fast. For countless Years, it has been influenced by the gravity of these two neutron stars, constantly moving towards them. One day, it will be torn to pieces by the increasingly powerful gravity," said Tianmeng King. At this moment, the two of them were standing on this dwarf planet. Looking around, all they could see was a vast expanse of darkness, with some meteorites faintly visible.

"Tianmeng King," Lu Yan'an said, "Now that we have arrived in the Neutron Star Region, let's proceed according to plan!"

"Alright, but wait a moment while I arrange for my servants to collect the prize!" Tianmeng King said with a strange smile, while at the same time, he was ready to God Kingdom Teleportation at any time.

"Let him go, but be careful to leave early, lest that King Jiming catches him!"

"Don't worry, you have to trust the speed at which a professional intelligence officer can escape."

A brief exchange.

Lu Yan'an had already sent his exact coordinates back to the King Jiming through the Tianmeng King. Although the Tianmeng King was only High King, he was a member of a secret force within the One Hong Alliance. This force was most skilled at intelligence gathering, and its characteristics were a love of money and an extremely fast escape speed! Their motto was that as long as the money was enough, they could uncover even the secrets of Venerable.

"I'll just wait here for that 'King Jiming'! Once it arrives, my coordinates will be basically exposed," Lu Yan'an muttered to himself.

"By the way King Huanshi, there's something I need to remind you of. When using Teleportation in the Neutron Star Region, you must pay attention to the coordinates. If the teleportation error is too large and you fall into a spacetime distortion area, you could very well lose your life," Tianmeng King warned.

"Mm." Lu Yan'an nodded.

"Then I'll be going now. Be careful, the King Jiming should arrive in about 5 minutes!" Seeing that Lu Yan'an seemed to have taken his words to heart, the Tianmeng King said to him.

With a surge of divine power, the Tianmeng King vanished into thin air.

On a giant planet deep within the Neutron Star Region, a team is stationed.

"Snort."

The King Jiming hovered in mid-air, silently watching the two intertwined neutron stars in front of him. Behind him stood a group of Machine Race powerhouses who were also at the King Level.

Throughout his endless Years of exploration, the King Jiming has six servants, four of whom are at the limit of the Feng Wang level, one is Peak King Soul Master, and the other is a limit of the Feng Wang level Soul Master.

Through countless killings, the King Jiming amassed immense wealth and treasures, ultimately transforming them into unparalleled power, practically Invincible King level! After all, the greater one's strength, the more wealth and treasures one acquires. With more wealth and treasures, one can become even stronger. It's a virtuous cycle!

"The King Huanshi!" The King Jiming hovered there, the name echoing in his mind, and he remembered the information about it with perfect clarity.

He rose to fame in a single battle, having killed dozens of Peak King- level Soul Masters and Machine Race Feng Wang, as well as around a hundred other Feng Wang.

This is the record of the King Huanshi, terrifying indeed!

"Why is there still no news? Could this guy have retired?"

The King Jiming couldn't help but feel anxious. It had come here on a mission from the clan's Venerable. If the King Huanshi didn't show up, could it just keep wasting its time here?

"Hmm, Teleportation?" King Jiming sensed something unusual about the spatial fluctuations and turned to look into the distance.
