The Setup

Upon returning to Zijing Island, Lu Yan'an quickly Teleportation back to his residence. Since he hadn't revealed the details of his residence to anyone beforehand, his place was temporarily safe. However, this was only temporary; soon someone would notice the newly constructed buildings, and it would only be a matter of time before he was exposed.

"I never imagined that the Supreme Treasure would be so attractive to these hyenas." Lu Yan'an arrived at his usual backyard pavilion, gazing at every plant and tree within the building, lost in deep thought.

"Regardless, my information has been completely leaked! I've succeeded halfway in achieving my goal. As for the other half..." Lu Yan'an said softly, then flipped his hand, and the Auxiliary Optical Computer appeared in his hand.

This is the sensor receiver for the virtual world "Glory World".

"Let's see if you have any ideas about how to ravage that infamous King Huanshi in the Glory World!"

"Let's go check out this Glory World now," Lu Yan'an thought to himself.

Consciousness quickly connected to the virtual world "Glory World" through this sensor receiver.

The Glory World is divided into two spaces: the Glory Open Plaza and the Battle World. Anyone within the Ancestral God Secret Region can connect to the Glory World.

Compared to the Virtual Universe of the human race, the Glory World of the Ancestral God Religion is indeed incredibly pathetic. If the Virtual Universe is a skyscraper, then the Glory World is just a small hut.

The coverage area is limited to the Ancestral God Secret Region, and the Glory World only has two places: the open-air plaza and the Battle World. There are no places to stay, shop, or many other things. The human Virtual Universe, on the other hand, is much more prosperous, with countless planes and a wide variety of functions. There is nothing you can't imagine that the Virtual Universe doesn't have.

The Glory World Rankings are divided into seven lists.

These correspond to the "First-Level Ranking List," "Second-Level Ranking List," and so on up to the "Seventh-Level Ranking List." Inheritors at different levels are naturally categorized into different rankings, which are based on the number of battle victories and defeats. As for Lu Yan'an, he is currently at the very end of the "Fifth-Level Ranking List." This is precisely why Lu Yan'an wanted to spread the news so widely.

If he were merely at the level of the Third-Level Ranking List of the City Lord Luo ranking in the original story, then many things wouldn't have required such a fuss! The treasure alone would have been enough to attract a large number of third-tier inheritors to challenge him. But he is at the Fifth Level, which has led to a sharp decrease in the number of inheritors at that level!

The total number of inheritors exceeds one hundred million! Among them, the Universe Venerable are extremely rare, and the number of inheritors who have been granted the title of King-level Immortal still exceeds one hundred million! The peerless geniuses who have cultivated for hundreds of millions of years have almost all reached the "third level", and many who have "perfected the third level" have begun to comprehend the "fourth level". For example, the King Zhenyan in the original work is a fourth-level inheritor.

Therefore, the Triple Inheritor is the largest!

Secondly, there are the four inheritors!

Next are the second-level inheritors! The Fifth Level inheritors! The sixth-level inheritors! The seventh-level inheritors! The first-level inheritors!

"Seventh-level inheritors represent the level of the Lord of Tian Shi Palace, who is extremely close to the Guardian Beast God. They are very rare, numbering only a few dozen."

However, the number of "first-level inheritors" is the smallest, 0!

Even those who are new here usually have some basic knowledge; none of them are truly at the "first level."

Lu Yan'an is Fifth Level inheritor, which means that generally only Fifth Level inheritors would challenge him to a duel. And Fifth Level inheritors are incredibly rare, practically nonexistent compared to third-level inheritors! Moreover, generally speaking, those who can reach the Fifth Level on the Way of the Beast God are high-level Universe Venerable; asking them to personally challenge a World Lord? Frankly speaking, most of them still have some pride!

This is why Lu Yan'an took the initiative to reveal his identity. With the added prestige and the allure of the Supreme Treasure, he didn't believe he couldn't entice these High Venerable to make a move! Any Alien Race powerhouse who had designs on the Supreme Treasure he possessed would use the challenge as a platform to assess his strength, so that they could know their enemy and themselves when they later tried to seize his Supreme Treasure.

Within the Demon Race Territory.

In a silent void, a strange castle floats.

Inside the castle, a colossal celestial serpent lay prostrate before the Lord of Mad Owls, its voice unusually excited. "Lord of Mad Owls, news has come from our demon race inheritors within the Ancestral God Sect that a figure resembling the Illusionary King Lu Yan'an has been discovered in the sect's treasure trove. Moreover, according to intelligence, this information was personally relayed by the Machine Race's Shackled Venerable. Our initial assessment is that there is an extremely high probability that this human is indeed King Lu Yan'an."

The Kuang Xiao Master... Ever since he and the Lord of Time-Machine left under the oppression of City Lord of Chaos Qianbao River, he has been Lu Yan'an! In his opinion, if it weren't for the human Lu Yan'an suppressing his disciple's son—that little celestial serpent—forcing him to intervene and save him, he would never have lost face like that!

"As for the detailed intelligence on the matter, it is being urgently compiled. I have come to report first, and the information will be sent to you, sir, shortly." The giant celestial serpent's voice was urgent as it prostrated itself on the void palace.

"Go," the Kuang Xiao Master commanded.

"Yes."

The enormous snake shadow immediately flew respectfully out of the space-time controlled by the Void Palace, and then Teleportation away.

The Kuang Xiao Master stood silently at the entrance of the main hall. A moment later, the information was transmitted to it through the clan's virtual world. Although the communication system of the Monster Race was far inferior to that of humans and Machine Race, they were still one of the top races and had set up their own basic communication system. Of course, it was incomparable to the convenience of the human race's Virtual Universe and could only meet the most basic information exchange needs.

This is just how ordinary Monster Race members transmit information. But beings like the Universe Master can easily obtain information from hundreds of millions of light-years away, even without a virtual world.

"Buzz!"

A projection instantly appeared in the starry sky. The Kuang Xiao Master watched from afar and saw that the projection showed Lu Yan'an and the Zhu Chong Wang confronting the two Venerable of the Monster Race in the treasure-hunting place.

"It really is you, you little bug!" the Kuang Xiao Master muttered, his voice filled with rage. He had seen Lu Yan'an with his own eyes and had even nearly killed him once. Even though Lu Yan'an had disguised himself before coming to the Ancestral God Religion, it was all too obvious to a Universe Master! What kind of being is Universe Master? He can discern a person's identity with just a glance, even if that person only exists in a projection!

"You're quite clever, actually hiding away in the Ancestral God Religion. Heh, but do you still naively believe that an Ancestral God Religion Sect can protect you? You're overthinking it."

"The Human Race is truly audacious. After such a major incident, they didn't even protect him within their ranks. However, since they placed him in the Ancestral God Religion, they must be prepared to have him receive the inheritance there for a long time."

"But it's not just us. The Zerg and the Machine Race have probably gotten the information too. Heh, the most anxious ones aren't us Monster Race!"

"Judging from the killing intent of those Machine Race towards this King Huanshi, they might all make the first move. However, killing this King Huanshi within the territory of the Ancestral God Religion Sect would come at a great cost, so let them make the first move." The Kuang Xiao Master Owls' hawk-like eyes were flashing with cold light as he pondered how to deal with this pillar of humanity's future.

The Kuang Xiao Master had personally witnessed Lu Yan'an, and he was absolutely certain that the genius human had reached the Immortal realm. As for becoming Universe Venerable, since Lu Yan'an hadn't been given any opportunity to perform during the previous sneak attack, he couldn't be 100% sure that Lu Yan'an would definitely become Universe Venerable.

After all, for anyone, breaking through from Immortal to Venerable is a major hurdle.

Like the "King Zhenyan" in the original work, who was trapped in the final step of infinite Years, he was only able to break through by relying on a Beast God Inheritance Token from his disciple.

Like the "Zhu Chong Wang," it is a unique life form in the universe, incomparably powerful. In terms of combat strength, it can overpower some Universe Venerable at the immortal stage, and is favored by the Ancestral God Religion. The Ancestral God Religion naturally focuses on cultivating it, but unfortunately, it is stuck at that stage. Even the Ancestral God Religion, the number one power, cannot help it break through. In fact, in the original work, by the time of City Lord Luo, it was still just a Feng Wang.

However, considering Lu Yan'an's current combat strength, it is likely that when it breaks through to the Immortal level, it will become an Overlord- level combat power, which is something that many races cannot tolerate!
