Discussing the Matter

Just as Lu Yan'an had made up his mind to proceed with the plan, he unexpectedly received an email from the City Lord of Chaos. The content was very simple, containing only two words: "Come immediately!"

Upon seeing the email, he didn't have time to think much and immediately headed to the Temple at the top of Thunder Island, which belonged exclusively to the City Lord of Chaos.

An endless stream of air filled the air. In front of the Temple stood a round table that looked as if it were carved from jade. Two figures sat opposite each other. One was the City Lord of Chaos in golden robes, and the other was a giant man with a dragon tail who was wearing ordinary loose battle robes. He sat there like a mountain, exuding an aura of dominance.

As soon as Lu Yan'an arrived, he immediately determined that the person next to him was also Universe Master, and if nothing unexpected happened, this Universe Master should be the Lord of Dragon Walk.

"Lu Yan'an, this is the Lord of Dragon Walk." Just as he expected, the City Lord of Chaos introduced Lu Yan'an upon his arrival.

"Senior Uncle, Lord of Dragon Walk." Lu Yan'an bowed respectfully.

"Lu Yan'an," the City Lord of Chaos turned and said, "I do have something extremely important to discuss with you. According to our intelligence, something significant just happened at the Core Land the Ancestral God Religion. All the other islands of the Ancestral God Religion have discovered that the Supreme True Treasure, the 'Five-Colored Aurora Lake,' vanished for a moment before reappearing. Yet, none of the inheritors on Zijing Island noticed this. Do you know what this means? It means that a portion of Zijing Island's spacetime was controlled, and all the powerful figures were completely unaware of it."

"Although the Universe Master can control a region of spacetime, he cannot prevent the Universe Venerable on Zijing Island from seeing or noticing him."

"Only the Universe Supreme Being!"

"The Universe Supreme Being is covering up everything... That Five-Colored Aurora Lake has disappeared again, so it's highly likely that some Universe Supreme Being broke into the Core Land Ancestral God Religion." The City Lord of Chaos looked at Lu Yan'an, "Was that Universe Supreme Being there to kill you?"

The City Lord of Chaos and other high-ranking human leaders, upon learning the news and deducing that a Universe Supreme Being had broken into Zijing Island, immediately connected it to... the Zerg, Monster Race, and Machine Race had long wanted to eliminate Lu Yan'an, and since Lu Yan'an had been on Zijing Island, it wasn't impossible that the Three Great Peak Races, in their impatience, would use the safest method— the Universe Supreme Being —to kill him!

Upon reaching this conclusion, the City Lord of Chaos felt a chill run down his spine. He had already mentally prepared himself for the possibility that Lu Yan'an would be assassinated by the Universe Supreme Being, but he couldn't think of a good way to prevent it from happening. Yet, when it actually occurred, it still sent a shiver down his spine.

Fortunately, Lu Yan'an's consciousness remained connected to the Virtual Universe, allowing the City Lord of Chaos to understand... that Lu Yan'an was still alive! This allowed him to remain calm and composed.

But the City Lord of Chaos was also puzzled... If the Universe Supreme Being came to kill Lu Yan'an, they shouldn't have failed, unless Lu Yan'an reacted quickly and self-destructed immediately! If it wasn't to kill Lu Yan'an, then what would have happened?

"Indeed, it was the Universe Supreme Being came to assassinate my disciple. According to the Ancestral God, that Universe Supreme Being was called 'The Zuoshanke'," Lu Yan'an replied respectfully.

"What? The Zuoshanke?"

The Lord of Dragon Walk and the City Lord of Chaos both wore expressions of utter shock.

"He did come to Zijing Island to kill me." Lu Yan'an thought for a moment and then decided to speak. After all, from a normal perspective, he was a newly rising powerhouse in the Human Race, and the three Alien Races, led by the Machine Race, were desperately trying to eliminate him. Naturally, the Human Race was desperately trying to protect him.

Having been assassinated by the Universe Supreme Being, the Human Race should have taken some action. Moreover, judging from City Lord Luo's experience in the original work, the race should have bestowed upon him a Soul-type Supreme Treasure to help him defend against the Soul Attack of this Universe Supreme Being. And coincidentally, his Soul-type Supreme Treasure, Chen Meng, had just been shattered by Zuoshanke. If the race could bestow upon him another Soul-type Supreme Treasure according to City Lord Luo's standards, it would be perfect.

Moreover, he can only receive more effective help when the strong members of the clan realize the seriousness of this assassination attempt. There's no need to try to withstand it all alone; after all, he's also a member of the clan, and he believes the higher-ups will come up with a perfect solution!

"Did they really hire the Zuoshanke to kill you?" The City Lord of Chaos's gaze was quite heavy, and a chilling aura emanated from him.

"The Zuoshanke went in person, how could you possibly escape?" The Lord of Dragon Walk couldn't help but ask, and the City Lord of Chaos added, "With the Zuoshanke's personal arrival, your Zijing Island's lord couldn't possibly stop him. As for your Ancestral God Religion Sect's Ancestral God, he wouldn't have had time to stop him either... How could you..."

"Reporting to Master, it was the Ancestral God who saved me," Lu Yan'an said respectfully.

The Lord of Dragon Walk and the City Lord of Chaos exchanged a glance. They had already deduced from the battle intelligence that only Ancestral God could possibly have prevented the inheritors of Zijing Island from noticing the movement of the Five- Five-Colored Aurora Lake, and whoever could utilize it. However, they couldn't understand why Ancestral God was able to intervene in time. They knew that battles between powerful beings were incredibly swift!

"If it weren't for the Ancestral God, this time it would have been..." Lu Yan'an shook his head and said, "Ever since I was recognized as Universe Overlord after my battle with the Mantu Divine General, the Light Beast God of the Ancestral God Religion Sect, Lord Mengguang, has been secretly watching me. Some time ago, it even made a special public appearance to bestow upon me a high-level flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure! This assassination attempt was also Lord Mengguang helping his disciple buy precious time, which delayed the arrival of the Ancestral God!"

"Huh, this?"

"Secretly monitoring? And then publicly bestowing upon it Supreme Treasure of the high-level Flying Palace-type?"

Both the Lord of Dragon Walk and the City Lord of Chaos were secretly astonished, shocked by how much the Ancestral God Religion Sect valued Lu Yan'an. To publicly bestow upon him a high-level flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure was simply outrageous. It should be noted that Lu Yan'an, as the foremost genius of the Human Race, was first and foremost loyal to Human Race. To bestow such Supreme Treasure upon an outsider was unprecedented in the history of the Ancestral God Religion. Moreover, a true Beast God had been secretly and continuously monitoring Lu Yan'an's safety. Frankly, such a gesture would move anyone!

"Where are you now?" the City Lord of Chaos asked.

"I'm not on Zijing Island right now," Lu Yan'an said.

"Don't go back yet. The Zerg, the Machine Race, and the Monster Race have failed this time, and it's hard to say they won't try again next time," the City Lord of Chaos solemnly instructed. "Go and cultivate in seclusion first. I'll think about your matter carefully."

"Yes."

Lu Yan'an immediately bowed to the two people in front of him, and then vanished into thin air in an instant.

The Lord of Dragon Walk and the City Lord of Chaos were both pondering and remained silent for a moment.

"Chaos," the Lord of Dragon Walk finally spoke, "Zijing Island is not a safe place. The Three Races' desire to kill Lu Yan'an will not be quelled by this failure. We only guessed that they would ask the strongest lone traveler to assassinate him, but we didn't expect it to actually happen! And it was that old fellow, the Zuoshanke. As one of the most skilled beings in the Universe Ocean in terms of soul techniques, the Zuoshanke is the most terrifying being to deal with beings Clone innate avatars. Apart from that Xu Zhen Demon God, I'm afraid no one can rival him in terms of soul techniques."

"I will immediately notify the Giant Axe and have all the Universe Master gather together to discuss this matter." The City Lord of Chaos could no longer contain himself.

It's no wonder the City Lord of Chaos is so anxious. As the number one genius of the Human Race, Lu Yan'an has reached this level in less than tens of thousands of years of Years. No one thinks he can't break through to the Universe Master. Even the highest levels of humanity are grooming him to be a Universe Master.

Lu Yan'an, who has only just broken through to the level of Universe Venerable, already possesses the combat power of Overlord, which is extremely rare in the entire Human Race. For example, the Lord of Tian Shi Palace only gradually raised his strength to the level of a peak Overlord after countless Years being Universe Venerable, which is completely unlike Lu Yan'an reached the peak immediately upon breaking through.

In their eyes, this also means that Lu Yan'an's current potential is extremely limited. In other words, with the passage of time, Lu Yan'an's current Overlord strength may gradually transform into the combat power of Universe Master! Universe Master and Overlord are worlds apart! And for the Human Race, every additional Universe Master- level combat power means that the burden on the shoulders of many high-ranking Universe Master will be lighter.
