The Summit of Thunder Island
After hearing Lu Yan'an's answer, the City Lord of Chaos fell silent for a moment. He was very familiar with Lu Yan'an's combat strength before he went to the Ancestral God Religion, but when Lu Yan'an's wonderful experience in the Ancestral God Religion was transmitted back to the Human Race as important intelligence by the "Shadow Monarch", even the City Lord of Chaos could hardly believe it.
The sixth level of the Beast God Inheritance, a perfect record of 2000 consecutive challenges, and the thirteenth-ranked peak treasure of the Ancestral God Religion Sect's treasure trove... When all these elements converge on one person, the impact is unparalleled! Moreover, the person who achieved this is merely a World Lord. World Lord —what kind of concept is that? Before Lu Yan'an, no one had ever accomplished even one of the things Lu Yan'an is currently capable of!
Even all the World Lord, Immortals, and even Universe Venerable of the entire Human Race couldn't achieve this! Now, Lu Yan'an has broken through two major realms in a single day, instantly advancing from World Lord to Universe Venerable. Judging from Lu Yan'a World Lord, there is absolutely no doubt that his combat power is that of Universe Overlord. After all, his Beast God Inheritance has already reached the sixth level, which can be considered as taking a final step on the path to becoming Universe Master.
"Now that you've reached the level of Universe Venerable, it's time to choose a place to reside," said the City Lord of Chaos. "Although you haven't made a move, based on your combat strength and achievements during your World Lord era, you now possess at least the strength of Universe Overlord. You might lack some Supreme Treasure, but that shouldn't be a major problem. So, choose a location on this mountaintop and build a palace there."
"Yes," Lu Yan'an replied respectfully. He was not surprised at all that the City Lord of Chaos had asked him to choose a location on the mountaintop to build the palace. Given his comprehension of the sixth level of the Way of the Beast God as a World Lord, and his record of 2,000 consecutive victories in the Glory World, even if he only broke through to the Immortal realm and made up for some of the deficiencies in his divine power and Divine Body, his combat strength would still see a leap forward.
Perhaps if he had only broken through to the Immortal realm, his Overlord- level combat power might still be questionable. But now that he has directly broken through to the Universe Venerable in one step, no one should dare to question his Overlord- level combat power.
"Every powerful individual who breaks through to the Universe Venerable will be assigned an independent dimensional space as their territory," said the City Lord of Chaos. "You will also be assigned one later."
Lu Yan'an blinked. He hadn't expected that all his treatment would be arranged according to the standards for an ordinary Universe Venerable.
"Universe Venerable are already considered the backbone of the Human Race, high-ranking Human Race governance," the City Lord of Chaos said, looking at Lu Yan'an. "You will soon be able to join the Human Race Supreme Council! However, I can only make arrangements for you based on my strength as High Venerable. I hope you will not have any objections to this."
"The palace on Thunder Island, the planes in the Virtual Universe... these are all things that my Virtual Universe Company can arrange internally; I have the authority to make those decisions."
"However, the allocation of seats and rights at the Human Race Supreme Council is determined by the Human Race as a whole, and my Virtual Universe Company has no right to make that decision," said the City Lord of Chaos.
"Ming Zi," Lu Yan'an said respectfully.
The Supreme Council sounds impressive, but it's not actually as prestigious as it sounds. Attending this Supreme Council is simply about implementing the agreements already reached by the Universe Master within the race.
Lu Yan'an was already aware of this meeting. The original novel described it as Supreme Council attended only by the "Universe Venerable" and higher-level beings of the Human Race. Many important matters concerning the Human Race were discussed there. However, it was merely a discussion; there was no final decision-making power. After all, within the entire human race, there was a small circle among the Universe Master called the "Giant Axe Meeting," which was only open to those who had broken through to the Universe Master level or possessed Universe Master power. This conference truly held the power to make final decisions!
"I believe you possess the strength of Universe Overlord. But that's not enough," said the City Lord of Chaos. "Words alone are useless; you need to demonstrate your true strength, prove yourself, and show that you deserve the status of Universe Overlord."
"Disciple understands." Lu Yan'an nodded.
If you don't have any achievements to show for it, who would believe you?
After all, humans are not Special Lifeform, and it's rare for such heaven-defying beings to emerge. Lu Yan'an was heaven-defying when he was World Lord, and some powerful figures believed that Lu Yan'an relied on some special treasures. Treasures could help Lu Yan'an dominate the immortal realm... but that doesn't mean they could help Lu Yan'an defeat those Universe Overlord. Universe Venerable and Overlord... these are completely different levels.
Immortality is for soldiers, cannon fodder, future strongmen, and mentors who train the next generation of strongmen!
The Universe Venerable are the backbone of the race!
The Universe Overlord and Universe Master are the pillars of a race! The fact that the City Lord of Chaos allowed Lu Yan'an to build a palace on the summit of Thunder Island clearly shows that he believes Lu Yan'an possesses the strength of Universe Overlord. However, he can only represent the opinion of the Virtual Universe Company. Until Lu Yan'an demonstrates his true combat power, even if the City Lord of Chaos believes in Lu Yan'an's strength, it will be useless!
"Hmm." The City Lord of Chaos nodded. "Let's go to the mountaintop and choose a place."
"Yes." Lu Yan'an respectfully withdrew, then leaped up and flew directly down the mountain.
The City Lord of Chaos watched Lu Yan'an's falling figure with anticipation. He had personally witnessed Lu Yan'an's incredible breakthroughs to the Venerable level, which was why he firmly believed that Lu Yan'an possessed the combat power of Universe Overlord. In particular, the shock he felt from the World Tree Clone was considerable.
Ancestral God Religion, Zijing Island, outside Lu Yan'an's residence.
"Hateful."
"This human Lu Yan'an, has already broken through to the Immortal realm, why doesn't he come out and show off? He's been hiding in his mansion the whole time; what's the point of breaking through?"
"He's been on Zijing Island for so long without making any other moves. What he lacks now is cultivation time. He must be trying to comprehend the complete superior laws in an attempt to break through to the Venerable! With his combat power... and his profound understanding of the Way of the Beast God, he's probably only a step away from becoming Venerable. So he's cultivating through this Beast God Inheritance to make connections! Perhaps a spark of inspiration will ignite his understanding of the complete Higher Origin Law."
"We can't waste time like this... The longer it goes on, the more advantageous it will be for Lu Yan'an!"
The Three Great Peak Races are all in a panic!
They wanted to wait for Lu Yan'an to leave Zijing Island on his own initiative, but it seemed that Lu Yan'an had no intention of leaving. Even after just breaking through to Immortality, he continued to comprehend the Higher Origin Law. It was obvious that he wanted to break through to the Universe Venerable in one fell swoop, and he was definitely prepared for a protracted battle!
Assassinating Lu Yan'an during his time as a World Lord was already difficult enough. Now that he has taken the step towards becoming an Immortal, dealing with him would likely require the Three Great Peak Races to pay a bloody price. However, even that price is still within their acceptable range at present. But if Lu Yan'an takes that crucial step and becomes Universe Venerable, it means that all the resources invested in assassinating Lu Yan'an will have gone down the drain, and the Three Great Peak Races will be unable to stop the growth of humanity's strongest genius!
It's fair to say that the Immortal stage is their last chance to assassinate him. If he really breaks through, and the roles change, who wouldn't be worried?
"It seems this human King Huanshi is determined not to emerge until he breaks through to the Universe Venerable! We should all report to our superiors; this situation is beyond our control!"
"Indeed! If that's really his plan, then we'll have to let the top experts make the decision. Alas! This is, after all, the Ancestral God Religion, and our strength is relatively too weak!"
"Let's wait for instructions from the higher-ups! I'm sure there will be a solution."
