High-Level Meeting
During the time Lu Yan'an fell into a deep sleep, a major event occurred among the high-ranking members of the human race!
At the summit of Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe, in a palace shrouded in endless Chaos energy.
The City Lord of Chaos was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff with his eyes closed when suddenly a light screen lit up beside him. At the same time, detailed written information about Lu Yan'an and his Heart Force Path illusion technique, which was still effective against soulless life forms, appeared on the screen.
"Chaos!" A voice suddenly rang out.
"Giant Axe," the City Lord of Chaos replied with a smile. In the entire Human Race, only two people could speak to him directly without requesting a call, and the Giant Axe Founder was one of them. As two pillars of the Human Race, their relationship was naturally extremely close!
"Chaos, do you know the specifics of the special illusion technique Lu Yan'an used earlier?" The voice resounded around them. "Now, the other Universe Master have also received this news at the same time. I'm also preparing to hold a high-level meeting to discuss the issue of this special technique. Do you agree?"
"That's natural." The City Lord of Chaos nodded.
The City Lord of Chaos understood that the illusionary effects stemming from this inheritance were simply too outrageous! Illusions capable of affecting soulless lifeforms meant that their human race could now use illusions to counter soulless races like the Machine Race. Moreover, soulless lifeforms are mentally weaker than soul-based lifeforms of the same level (lacking experience). Once the race could implement this technique, it would be a devastating blow to races like the Machine Race! No major power in the universe wouldn't covet such an ability.
Therefore, it's already quite good that the Giant Axe Founder decided to make a "high-level decision" instead of directly Lu Yan'an.
The Virtual Universe System is, after all, Virtual Universe for the Human Race! And the highest-ranking members of the Human Race are naturally the Giant Axe Founder, the City Lord of Chaos, the Lord of Void Gold, the Lord of Yanshan, the Lord of Dragon Walk, and more than ten other great beings. The news that Lu Yan'an was assassinated by two Alien Race Universe Master was logically judged by the Virtual Universe System and then directly transmitted to these high-ranking members.
In Virtual Universe, one of its dimensions is an endless darkness, with distant starlight twinkling in the distance.
A simple Temple floats in mid-air.
In front of the Temple was a long stone table, with stone chairs on both sides. At the head of the long stone table was only one stone chair, where a Wild Savage Giant sat. On the chairs on both sides of the stone table, figures appeared out of thin air, none other than the Lord of City Lord of Chaos and one of the Universe Master.
In a short while, they all arrived here.
"Everyone has arrived." The Wild Savage Giant looked to both sides, yet all the Universe Master treated him with respect... This Giant Axe Founder before them was the Universe Supreme Being!
"Lu Yan'an obtained the inheritance of that Secret Abyss, and this inheritance led to the fact that the Machine Race and the Monster Race sent the Universe Master to assassinate him," the Wild Savage Giant said directly. "The implications are enormous. That inheritance is also very important to our race, enough to become a powerful weapon for our human race to deal with soulless life forms! However, Lu Yan'an obtained it through his own abilities. Our human race has always emphasized fair trade. Let's all discuss how to proceed."
The Giant Axe Founder made a definitive statement—fair trade! This meant that the strong members of the clan could not force Lu Yan'an to hand over this inheritance in the name of the clan.
"An illusion that can affect soulless life forms? That's interesting!" A cold voice rang out. "Since it involves the clan's external strategy, Lu Yan'an's own thoughts are no longer important. For the sake of the clan, let him hand over the inheritance directly, and give him some compensation as well. Is one High-level Supreme Treasure enough? If not, just give him more, isn't that enough?"
"Hmm." A Universe Master nodded in response.
"I agree."
"Yes, after all, he's only a World Lord. It's a waste to have such a legacy on him alone! If this legacy could really be effective against soulless life forms like the Machine Race, it would be a trump card that could change the course of a battle in a race war. He's just a World Lord; even if the legacy is powerful, how much influence can he have without real strength? He's received so much nurturing from the race; he should give back something!"
"I agree."
Agreed.
One by one, the Universe Master shared their opinions.
"While I agree with everyone, we must all be aware that although Lu Yan'an is currently only a World Lord, he has risen to his current position with immense brilliance. As a genius that our Human Race has seen only once in billions of years, his arrogance is beyond imagination!"
"Although this inheritance is very important, we must not let it cause a rift with Lu Yan'an. Back then, the Yan Di was known for his capricious temper and his desire to seize the Supreme Treasure of his own clan's powerful members, but he shouldn't have gone so far as to break away from his clan. This matter seems easy, but we must be careful not to let it escalate. Lu Yan'an's talent is far greater than that of the Flame Yan Di, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will also become a Universe Master in the future." A gentle voice rang out.
"No the same."
"Lu Yan'an is completely different from Yan Di. Yan Di is extremely selfish. Although our race is very tolerant of super strong individuals, he doesn't even provide the most basic protection for the strong members of his own race! He even attacks his own kind, and he still doesn't think he's wrong! I don't feel any regret that such an extremely selfish person has left our Human Race; on the contrary, I feel happy! To fight alongside him would be an insult to me!"
"Lu Yan'an's personality is completely different from his. From the fact that he knowingly returned to his home planet to save his relatives despite knowing it was a trap, and from the situation on the Outer Region Battlefield, it's clear that he values relationships immensely."
The gentle voice continued, "Though they are different, everyone understands the arrogance of a super genius. The more extraordinary they are, the more extremely confident they become in themselves!"
"If it's not handled properly... it could easily provoke discontent. Logically speaking, this inheritance was obtained by Lu Yan'an through his own adventures, so how he deals with it is his personal right! No matter how much we feel sorry for the clan, we can't interfere. Of course, from the clan's perspective, this inheritance can only be considered a true strategic weapon after it is fully disseminated. It's really useless if it's only for Lu Yan'an!"
"Um."
"I agree with Lord of Peng Gong said."
"Indeed, caution is warranted."
"It would be a waste for the inheritance to remain solely in Lu Yan'an's hands, but how to persuade Lu Yan'an is also very important."
"Receiving the inheritance isn't actually difficult; the key issue now is Lu Yan'an's own attitude."
One by one, the Universe Master spoke.
Except for the City Lord of Chaos, all the other Universe Master spoke up, and they all quickly and unanimously agreed that... they had to retrieve this inheritance and spread it, and it would be best if they could also appease Lu Yan'an. Although these Universe Masters were the true ruling class of the Human Race, they still attached great importance to Lu Yan'an. After all, he was a genius who possessed Invincible King combat power at the World Lord stage!
"Chaos, what do you say?" The Giant Axe Founder looked over.
The City Lord of Chaos shook his head and smiled, "What else can I say? Since everyone is of one mind, I naturally have no objections. This Secret Abyss... must be taken back, but the premise is not to escalate the conflict. We've already lost one Yan Di; let's not let Lu Yan'an leave too."
The various Universe Master nodded slightly. This had essentially become a consensus among Universe Master. In truth, it was difficult to say whether this inheritance or Lu Yan'an was more important. Although Lu Yan'an possessed limitless potential, he was currently only a World Lord! If he could truly rise to the ranks of Universe Master in the future, his deterrent power would be far more significant than this current inheritance!
But all of this is just a gamble. The Universe Master present were all incredibly brilliant figures in the past, and they have weathered so many storms to reach where they are today. What about Lu Yan'an? They don't know, and they dare not make any guarantees! The inheritance only represents the current strategy of the inter-clan war, while Lu Yan'an's potential represents the future of the entire human race!
