At the highest point of Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe, in that palace amidst endless air currents.

A faint, ethereal figure stood before the palace, then entered the main hall. Reaching the center, the figure respectfully said, "City Lord of Chaos, the Alien Race will almost certainly launch an assassination attempt against Lu Yan'an soon. We are unsure how to respond. Please advise, City Lord."

"Assassination?" The City Lord of Chaos's voice rang out. "Didn't that brat Lu Yan'an just go to the Ancestral God Religion? What assassination attempt could there be?"

The phantom of Mohu Lake paused slightly, then said, "Reporting to the City Lord, this is precisely why I have come here. After the King Huanshi went to the Ancestral God Religion, he accomplished many great things and will undoubtedly be regarded as a thorn in the side by the Alien Race!"

"Hmm?" A golden-robed figure emerged from the endless flow of energy; it was none other than the City Lord of Chaos. He looked at his subordinate with a slightly curious gaze. "Tell me, what trouble has this brat gotten into this time?"

Some things are really outrageous. News of Lu Yan'an has already spread to all the hostile Alien Race, but the City Lord of Chaos, who is currently in charge of the human race, still doesn't know what happened.

The Shadow Monarch is the head of the intelligence department of the Virtual Universe Company and also the head of the intelligence department of the Hong Alliance. He is Universe Overlord. Lu Yan'an exposed his information very thoroughly. Moreover, since the Kuang Xiao Master exposed Lu Yan'an's situation, his information is now known to the higher-ups of the Human Race, and the Shadow Monarch, as the head of the intelligence department, is naturally also aware of it.

"What?"

"He won all 2,000 duels in the Glory World of the Ancestral God Religion, and they were even duels at the Fifth Level of the Beast God Inheritance? All of his opponents in those 2,000 duels must have been High Venerable. To win all of them like that is truly..." The City Lord of Chaos was also greatly surprised when he heard the Shadow Monarch's report.

"Yes, City Lord," the Shadow Monarch replied respectfully.

"I never expected him to have achieved this level. With his current understanding of the laws, it wouldn't be difficult for him to directly become Venerable. So why is he still delaying his breakthrough?"

The City Lord of Chaos was indeed surprised. Facing 2,000 High Venerable as opponents, he had no chance of winning from any perspective, and he didn't even have a chance to struggle! After all, he was only a World Lord.

"This little guy's future is definitely limitless!" The Shadow Monarch, the head of the entire Hong Alliance intelligence department, known for his "cold and terrifying" demeanor, surprisingly showed a slight smile. "What we need to do is create that future for him!"

"Hahaha, Shadow, this is the first time I've heard you speak like this. It seems you really think highly of this little guy! That's right, you're right, what we need to do now is pave the way for him." The City Lord of Chaos laughed heartily, his laughter echoing in the hall.

No one doubted it; even other super powers of the universe, such as the Monster Race and the Prison Race, believed that if no one hindered Lu Yan'an's growth, he would definitely become a super strongman and a terrifying existence among the Human Race in the future! It was just a matter of time.

If they previously thought this Venerable was an obstacle, that Lu Yan'an might be blocked by this obstacle for endless Years, then seeing his current Law Comprehension of the Fifth Level the Beast God Inheritance, everyone knew that the Venerable was never a hurdle for him. On the contrary, crossing this hurdle would be as easy as turning his hand! If this threat wasn't eliminated now, it would cause endless trouble in the future.

"City Lord, Lu Yan'an truly deserves my assessment. Although I don't know why he hasn't broken through to become Venerable yet, it's clear he has his own ambitions." The Shadow Monarch bowed slightly. "What we need to do now is help him achieve his goals! Undoubtedly, the Three Great Peak Races— the Zerg, the Monster Race, and the Machine Race— are getting anxious. Once Lu Yan'an becomes Universe Venerable, it will be much harder for them to assassinate him. There will definitely be assassination attempts soon... City Lord, how should we deal with this?"

"Assassination?"

The City Lord of Chaos nodded. "The Monster Race, the Zerg, and the Machine Race all have complex methods, but this little guy is currently in the Ancestral God Religion's stronghold, which limits their options. They can't use any other powerful methods. They can only order some powerful inheritors to kill Lu Yan'an. That's their only way."

"Hmm." The Shadow Monarch nodded.

The Ancestral God Religion Sect's sacred grounds are off-limits to unauthorized trespassing. Even the most powerful races, such as the Monster Race, would rather let Lu Yan'an become a super strongman than send a super being to trespass into the Ancestral God Religion's sacred grounds, as the consequences would be severe.

"Leave this to me; you must trust my disciple," said the City Lord of Chaos.

The Shadow Monarch bowed slightly. "Then this subordinate takes his leave."

"Go." The City Lord of Chaos nodded.

"The only thing I'm worried about now is that those guys might resort to desperate measures and hire the strongest lone wolves to assassinate us. That would complicate things considerably." The City Lord of Chaos didn't say this to the Shadow Monarch, because he knew that saying it would only add to his troubles and wouldn't offer any solutions.

The assassination attempt by the strongest lone wolf is terrifying; at least for now, the Human Race has no other recourse but to take extra precautions.

The Shadow Monarch was able to become the head of the Hong Alliance intelligence department mainly because he was affiliated with the Virtual Universe Company. The Virtual Universe had an extremely terrifying effect on the dissemination of information. Even other top races in the universe spared no expense to plant spies and set up secret communication channels. Even though they were often cracked and the sacrifices were huge, the Alien Race still did so.

Therefore, as the head of the intelligence department of his Virtual Universe Company, he easily concurrently served as the head of intelligence for the Hong Alliance. His power and influence were in no way inferior to some of the other hall masters in the Hong Alliance.

As time passed, Lu Yan'an continued fighting in a very regular manner, only stopping to rest after almost completely exhausting all his energy each time.

Since entering the second phase of the challenge, Lu Yan'an's battles have been taking increasingly longer and longer. From one minute when he was ranked lower, to six hours now, the time he spends has increased hundreds of times. Similarly, the energy he expends is hundreds of times greater than usual!

"Boom..."

In the Battle World, above the once bustling metropolis of steel and concrete now reduced to ruins, Lu Yan'an, dressed in plain white robes and wielding a standard-issue longsword, desperately burned his Divine Body as he unleashed the final strike of this decisive battle!

Under the rather surprised gaze of the last Venerable One, the sharpness of the longsword directly caused the surrounding spacetime to become chaotic! Lu Yan'an lightly tapped his feet, quickly widening the distance between them. The next moment, a violent shockwave spread from afar, completely destroying the surrounding environment! Of course, this included the Venerable's Divine Body; under a single strike, everything was reduced to nothingness.

"All battles are over!" Lu Yan'an said softly, looking at the surging aftershocks of divine power in the distance.

Nearly a year has passed, and over 2,000 battles have all come to an end! Only now can Lu Yan'an finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"So tired! Whew!" Lu Yan'an logged out of the Glory World quickly, feeling quite pleased. This fierce battle had finally come to an end. "Those last few Venerable were truly terrifyingly strong! If it weren't for my Years of ten thousand years, I'm afraid this perfect record would be gone."

He accepted the challenges according to the rankings in the Black Book. In the early stages, his opponents were all among the weakest of the Fifth Level of the Beast God Inheritance. Therefore, he was able to eliminate them one by one per minute at the beginning. However, as the opponents' rankings increased, their understanding of the laws naturally improved as well, which also led to a surge in their strength!

In the end, his opponents had all reached the Fifth Level inheritance. Their understanding of the laws was no less than his own, and victory or defeat was no longer something he could control. Therefore, his ability to maintain a perfect record also had an element of luck involved.
