Discussing

It's not uncommon in the universe for powerful individuals to leave their original factions and join other ones.

Firstly, the families of super-strong individuals usually already exist.

Secondly, the stronger a person is at the peak, the more confident they become, and the more determined they are to their ideas. If they are angered... and truly enraged, quite a few will leave the organization altogether.

"Chaos, you handle this matter," the Wild Savage Giant said with a smile. "After all, you were the one who saved him this time. If you speak up, I think his resistance will be minimal."

"Haha, Chaos, I'll leave this to you."

"Haha..." The surrounding Universe Master burst into laughter.

At this moment, the City Lord of Chaos unexpectedly shook his head. "I don't think it's appropriate for me to get involved in this matter!"

"Huh? This..."

"What's the meaning?"

All the Universe Master present looked at the City Lord of Chaos with puzzled expressions, trying to find out why he refused.

"Precisely because I was the one who ultimately cleaned up the mess, it's not appropriate for me to ask about this matter." A glint of wisdom flashed in the City Lord of Chaos's eyes. "That would leave me with the impression of being opportunistic in his eyes. In the short term, this inheritance may be able to spread, but in the long run, it will inevitably lead to his eventual alienation."

"So, what you mean is?" The Wild Savage Giant was taken aback, then continued to ask.

"Professional matters should naturally be left to professionals. This is not suitable for me, but it is very suitable for some people!" The City Lord of Chaos laughed. "Have you all forgotten my junior brother? Although he has been venturing into the Universe Ocean for many years, he is still a member of the upper echelons of humanity! Moreover, as his disciple, isn't it just right for Lu Yan'an to handle this matter?"

The crowd below nodded in agreement upon hearing Lu Yan'an's explanation. Indeed, compared to the City Lord of Chaos, Lu Yan'an's teacher was clearly a more suitable person!

"Then please ask Darkness to do everything in his power to get Lu Yan'an's consent," the Wild Savage Giant said solemnly. "Although he is still venturing into the Universe Ocean, the Secret Abyss Inheritance involves the clan's strategic issues in dealing with soulless life forms like the Machine Race. From this perspective alone, the importance of this inheritance is no less than that of a supreme Supreme Treasure of the highest palace level! Let him return from the Universe Ocean first."

"Okay, I'll contact him right away." The City Lord of Chaos nodded. "Also, tell Youhou to be prepared. They are, after all, fellow disciples. If Youhou hadn't intervened in time, those two might have succeeded!"

Immortal God may fall into a deep slumber due to the loss of too much of their Divine Body and the depletion of too much of their soul.

Once World Lord's soul shatters, they perish, unless, like Lu Yan'an, they have endured so much pain that their soul, in order to preserve itself, indirectly transfers all the pain to their body. Their soul and body are repeatedly exploited, eventually exceeding their limits, which is why they instantly fall into a deep sleep after being rescued. This is because both their "soul" and "body" are too exhausted and need to Absorption energy to recover.

However, it is impossible for ordinary powerful beings to experience such a thing, let alone have their soul and body squeezed beyond their limits. Therefore, for a World Lord to experience this situation again, it is only a theoretical possibility.

One month, two months, three months...

Preserving his soul left Lu Yan'an physically and mentally exhausted, and the pain overload exceeded his limits, so recovery would naturally take an extremely long time. However, because his soul was intact, he would not need an infinitely long Years like Deity in slumber.

Lu Yan'an slept for more than three years. What started as a simple fainting spell eventually turned into a full-blown sleep! However, having not slept for over a hundred thousand Years, Lu Yan'an had forgotten what sleep felt like, and thus, the dream began.

This dream lasted for a whole year! Lu Yan'an floated above the void of the universe, a slight smile on his lips as he slept, seemingly dreaming of something very happy. And besides Lu Yan'an... there were two incredibly terrifying super beings from the universe watching this scene.

Suddenly, Lu Yan'an slowly opened his eyes. Having slept until he dreamed, his soul had clearly been fully restored. Lu Yan'an opened his eyes at the same time he finished the dream.

"Junior Brother..." A familiar voice rang in Lu Yan'an's ears, as refreshing as a mountain breeze, and at the same time, Lu Yan'an immediately struggled to his feet and turned his head to look.

Two figures were ahead.

One of them was his familiar senior brother, "Lord of Youhou." If his senior brother hadn't arrived in time, he would probably be dead by now. Therefore, Lu Yan'an had always been grateful to his senior brother. At this moment, Lord of Youhou was restraining his aura and standing quietly to the side. In the very center of the void, at the very front, an eerie dark aura spread out, and a figure quietly became clear. He was simply covered with a black outer garment, and underneath the black outer garment was a strange armor that combined silver and black.

He was bald, with skin as white as jade.

His head was covered in extremely strange and complex black Secret Pattern, and the way he looked at someone... was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue at the back of someone's neck in the Dark Night.

Even the surrounding spacetime was affected by him, and the entire spacetime was plunged into a strange atmosphere. At this moment, he was looking down at Lu Yan'an. It was the Lord of Darkness! After hearing that his little disciple had been assassinated by two Universe Masters and fallen into a coma, this fifth-order powerhouse who had traversed the Universe Ocean rushed back from the Universe Ocean at full speed.

At this moment, the endless void was enveloped by the auras of these Universe Masters with different characteristics.

Enveloped by these two boundless auras, Lu Yan'an felt as if he were an ordinary human being under the sun. Although it was a bit dazzling, he did not feel oppressed at all; on the contrary, he felt quite comfortable.

"You brat, how long has it Years and you've already been assassinated by two Universe Masters! In a little while, even the Universe Supreme Being will have to step in." The Lord of Darkness's voice boomed, penetrating deep into Lu Yan'an's heart.

The Lord of Youhou nearby, smiled as he looked at Lu Yan'an, then jokingly said to the Lord of Darkness, "Teacher, this junior brother has caused such a huge mess without a word. He deserves to be punished, he deserves to be punished!"

"You brat, how dare you say that! Neither of them are easy to deal with." The Lord of Darkness glared at the Lord of Youhou, then slowly spoke. "I really didn't expect that the Machine Race and the Monster Race would dare to openly violate the agreement made by the four races, with a being at the level of Universe Master personally getting involved!"

"I wasn't too worried about your safety before, after all, your soul is protected by the Soul-type Supreme Treasure 'Chen Meng'. The worst-case scenario is that you self-destruct, and resurrecting a World Lord is not a problem for me."

"But now..." The Lord of Darkness pondered for a moment, then looked at Lu Yan'an, "Perhaps something you obtained in the Secret Abyss has panicked the Machine Race! They actually contacted the Universe Master of the Monster Race, wanting to come and Soul Enslavement before killing you!"

"The Secret Abyss?" Lu Yan'an was taken aback. He really didn't know what he had obtained in the Secret Abyss that had led the Machine Race to issue a kill order against him.

Seeing Lu Yan'an's blank expression, the Lord of Darkness was immediately furious. It seemed this kid had gotten himself on someone's kill list and still didn't know why. So he continued to prompt, "An illusion that works on soulless life forms!"

Only then did Lu Yan'an belatedly realize that the assassination attempt was caused by the Heart Force Path Illusion Technique. But he was innocent! The inheritance he received in the Secret Abyss was all about the Law Secret Pattern, and the Heart Force Path Technique was something he had learned from the inheritance left behind by the "Heart Sword Emperor" on Mingguang Star.

But now everyone is convinced that he obtained this special illusion technique, which can target soulless life forms, within the Secret Abyss. This is why the powerful Machine Race went to such great lengths, even sending the Universe Master to assassinate Lu Yan'an.

What are your thoughts on this tradition?
