Upon entering the palace and arriving at a courtyard, one sees a colossal figure over 900 meters tall, clad in seemingly ordinary blue armor, with transparent horns on its forehead.

Enveloped by an endless aura, it felt as if an ordinary human were under the sun, experiencing no oppression whatsoever, but rather a sense of comfort. It instantly became clear that this wasn't pressure, but rather the natural life force emanating from this extraordinary being—an aura alone... that surpassed even the City Lord of Chaos...

At this moment, the Zuoshanke was holding a stone, stroking it while seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

"Old friend!" The oval-shaped Black Sphere of the Machine Race Father God stepped forward and greeted him.

Upon hearing this, the Zuoshanke opened his eyes, placed the stone in his hand aside, and smiled at the oval Black Sphere: "A rare guest indeed. I didn't expect that the leader of one of the Four Peak Races of the Primal Universe — the Machine Race Father God— would make a special trip to find a lonely person like me."

"I don't know how you choose these locations, always such remote areas," the oval Black Sphere chuckled. "It's made me search for you all over the Universe Ocean for ages!"

The Zuoshanke shrugged and said, "Moreover, this void starry sky is over a billion light-years in diameter. Although it's a desolate wasteland, making it impossible for any race to thrive here, I'm a Lone Ranger, and this place is quite suitable for me. Besides, this is merely one of my residences in the Primal Universe. By the way, did you come here to see me about something?"

"I have something to ask." The oval-shaped Black Sphere hovered in mid-air, the surrounding void shimmering and indistinct. "I need you to kill a little guy."

"Are you very strong? Or is it inconvenient for you to take action? Judging from the alliance of your Three Great Peak Races —the Monster Race, the Machine Race, and the Zerg —there shouldn't be any 'little guy' in the entire Primal Universe that you can't handle," the Zuoshanke asked.

"Perhaps you've heard of this name, Lu Yan'an, a Human Race name has been the talk of the town for nearly an epoch!" said the oval-shaped Black Sphere.

"Lu Yan'an?" The Zuoshanke nodded. "I know this little guy. After he returned from the Universe Ocean, news about him spread like wildfire. No wonder you came here. Your Machine Race, as well as the Zerg and the Monster Race, probably all want to kill him. Tell me, where is he now?"

"Ancestral God Religion, Zijing Island!" the oval-shaped Black Sphere announced.

"The Ancestral God Religion!

!"

The Zuoshanke was no longer as calm and composed as before. His eyes widened, and his robes fluttered even without wind. "Mechanical, I don't care about that human Giant Axe; I can even help you kill that little guy. But he's in the Core Land Ancestral God Religion... You want me to break into the Core Land of Ancestral God Religion and kill their inheritor? What's the difference between that and directly confronting the consciousness of the Primal Universe?"

"Back when we were plundering the treasure in the Universe Ocean, I helped you once. This time, you're repaying the favor," a voice came from the distant Black Sphere.

"Ha, you call that helping me? The stuff never even reached my hands in the end. Who was the ultimate beneficiary? Go find them! It was clearly that old bastard Xu Zhen who reaped the benefits in the end, and you still have the nerve to say that!" Hearing these words from the Machine Race Father God, Zuoshanke was immediately furious.

"At least I did something, right? I didn't make things worse!" the Black Sphere continued. "And I didn't say you worked for nothing. How about I offer you a Peak True Treasure? A favor plus a Peak True Treasure for just assassinating a human immortal within the Ancestral God Religion? For a lone strongest like you, this is a sure-fire way to make money."

Upon hearing this, the Zuoshanke pondered for a moment, "Alright, I agree to help you once! After that, regardless of whether he survives or not, I will only help once more within the Ancestral God Religion! Now tell me his detailed information, and I will decide when to assassinate that little guy afterwards!"

"Absolutely no problem!" the Black Sphere said. "This little guy has just broken through to the Immortal realm, and his strength is initially estimated to be at the level of Universe Venerable! In terms of Divine Body size, he is probably comparable to a rare Special Lifeform, and he has the talent to Clone. Simply annihilating his Divine Body is useless. We must penetrate his soul... to destroy all his Divine Body. Or we can Soul Control! However, Soul Control is obviously much more difficult. Zuoshanke, you are considered a strong figure in the Illusionist school among the Universe Supreme Being! That's why I came to find you."

"Alright, alright, we'll see! Keep me updated on Lu Yan'an's information in real time, and I'll make my move at a suitable time!" The Zuoshanke waved his hand, speaking with considerable impatience.

"This is the deposit!" Seeing that the Zuoshanke had made a commitment, the Black Sphere tossed out a Space Ring. "Here are three Top-tier True Treasure. I'll pay you the remaining difference after you complete the assassination!"

After saying that, the Black Sphere vanished instantly, and the surrounding spacetime trembled slightly before returning to normal, leaving only the Zuoshanke playing with the Space Ring in his hand.

"Lu Yan'an, Ancestral God Religion, Yuan Planet..." The voice of the Zuoshanke echoed in the space like a murmur, and then he took a step and disappeared from the spot...

Not only the Alien Race, but also the Human Race were constantly concerned about Lu Yan'an's movements.

"Chaos, Lu Yan'an has been making quite a stir lately... Why did you let him build his residence on the top of Thunder Island? It's caused Qing Dong and Huang Jian to have a lot of complaints. Even if he breaks through to Immortal, the Ancestral God Religion can't completely guarantee his safety! Wouldn't it be safest to leave him in Chaos City? After all, outside of Human Territory, there's still a possibility of encountering great danger."

"Although the Ancestral God Religion is very aloof, there are some powerful figures from the Zerg, Monster Race, Machine Race, and Northern Territory Alliance within Ancestral God Religion. If they join forces, they could very well find a way to deal with Lu Yan'an."

"His initial intention in leaving was to pursue the Beast God Inheritance path of the Ancestral God Religion! Naturally, I won't stop him. You know that our human race's inheritance rarely expounds on the Fusion Laws, and staying in Chaos City would only be a case of working in isolation! Besides, he possesses a soul Supreme Treasure and has an extremely strong will! Even if faced with an insurmountable crisis, he can self-destruct, and with his innate ability to Clone... what is there to fear!"

The Lord of Dragon Walk and the City Lord of Chaos were conversing.

"But things are different now. Although Lu Yan'an has broken through to the Immortal realm, the assassination attempts by those Alien Race will only become more frenzied! To prevent Lu Yan'an from truly growing stronger, they will only resort to more unscrupulous means."

The Lord of Dragon Walk's concerns are valid.

Lu Yan'an's continued presence on Zijing Island caused great anxiety among the Zerg, Monster Race, and Machine Race. They dared not send Universe Master there... Once Universe Master went, they would surely be annihilated by the "Five-Colored Aurora Lake"! Losing a Universe Master to kill a being who might become City Lord of Chaos was not worthwhile. Therefore, they decided to go all the way and invited the Zuoshanke to forcibly kill him!

"Dragon Walk, this is what I'm going to tell you next. You should also pass this on to Qing Dong and Huang Jian. Lu Yan'an didn't break through to Immortal, but directly became Venerable in one step!" The City Lord of Chaos said with a faint smile.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, the Lord of Dragon Walk's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

"That's natural. Considering that Lu Yan'an was able to defeat Venerable during his World Lord era, and now he has broken through to the Venerable Level, why do you think I would let him build a residence on the top of this Thunder Island?"

"I see. It seems you are indeed more thoughtful than those of us who are out of touch with the world! With his achievements as World Lord and his breakthrough of two major realms to become Universe Venerable, he probably already has the strength of Top Overlord, right? To be honest, he certainly has the qualifications to build a residence on the top of this Thunder Island."

The two engaged in a deep conversation, and the tense atmosphere from before seemed to dissipate instantly. After all, the self-preservation abilities of Venerable Lu Yan'an and Immortal Lu Yan'an were on completely different levels! Top Overlord- level combat power is not something to be trifled with, no matter where it is!
