Void Palace Master
The Void Palace, with a diameter exceeding one million meters, is magnificent and imposing, yet possesses a refined aesthetic, aptly showcasing the technological mastery of Human Race in the universe.
At that moment, a tiny creature flew out of the Void Palace and quickly approached Tianyu King and Lu Yan'an. It was a fish-shaped silver spaceship with a diameter of about 500 meters. At the same time, the purple token in Lu Yan'an's Space Ring seemed to be summoned and automatically jumped out of the ring, flying towards the Void Palace in front of him.
"Drop!"
"Tianyu King, Your His Highness An Lu Yan'an, greetings. I am Shifang, the guide from the Void Palace. Congratulations, Your Highness Lu His Highness An, on your successful return from the trials on Mingguang Star." As the spaceship approached the two, it opened its hatch, and a guide dressed in a purple standard battle suit stepped out.
Soon, the two boarded the spaceship together, following the rules set by the Void Palace. Led by the purple-robed guide "Shifang," Lu Yan'an and the other arrived at a spacious hall on the first floor of the Void Palace. The Tianyu King was clearly quite familiar with the environment, but he still patiently followed the guide's instructions step by step, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
This main hall is approximately tens of kilometers long and wide.
Lu Yan'an and his companion disembarked from the guide's spaceship and stood in the hall, marveling at the sight. The hall was filled with countless spaceships, occupying almost half of its area. Judging from Lu Yan'an's keen eye, each spaceship was at least an F-class spaceship, with only a few E-class spaceships, making them relatively inconspicuous among the other spaceships.
"Your His Highness An." The World Lord "Shifang," dressed in a purple standard battle suit, led the way, speaking fluent Universal Language in a rather calm voice, "It's astonishing that you've only stayed in this mission world of Mingguang Star for less than 5 years, and that you even returned with Tianyu King."
"I'm not quite sure either. I was extremely surprised when Tianyu King came directly to pick me up at the mission location!" Lu Yan'an explained as they walked.
"Tianyu King personally came down to pick you up? Could it be that Your Highness has completed Mission Two?" Shifang asked, somewhat surprised.
Whether it's truly completed or not depends on how the company's senior management decides.
"Wow, then I'll congratulate Your His Highness An Lu Yan'an in advance," Shifang laughed. "I've received many geniuses who went on training missions here, including geniuses from the Giant Axe Dojo and the Universe Mercenary Alliance, but very few of them came out alive. Even those who did manage to get through it barely managed to pass the mission by sheer willpower."
Lu Yan'an nodded. If he hadn't been lucky, he probably would have been helpless with this second task as well.
The three walked and talked, mostly the guide and Lu Yan'an, while the Tianyu King watched and listened. Although he didn't interrupt, the slight upturn of his lips showed that he was in a very relaxed mood. The three didn't walk very fast, but in just a few minutes, they traversed thousands of kilometers and arrived at the stairs leading to the second floor of the palace.
The staircase is incredibly wide, with each step hundreds of meters high, nearly ten kilometers long, and five kilometers wide. The entire structure is like crystal-clear glass. Looking up, there are probably thousands of steps, forming a spiral structure, like the double helix of DNA.
"To get to the next level of the palace, you have to go this way," the guide Shifang, said with a smile.
"Your Tianyu King, please accompany me upstairs! I will escort you here," Shifang said with a smile.

"Young Lu, come with me! I, the Lord of the Void Palace, wish to see you. You'd better get ready quickly!" Tianyu King patted Lu Yan'an on the shoulder, reminding him.
"Void Palace Master?" Lu Yan'an was somewhat surprised, but the Tianyu King was moving very fast, and he didn't have time to think about it. He could only hurry to catch up.
Immediately, the two transformed into streaks of Flowing Light and flew upwards along the staircase. During their flight, an invisible force, unseen by the naked eye, instantly transformed into a giant hand that supported Lu Yan'an. Tianyu King and Lu Yan'an increased further, and they instantly transformed into two streaks of Flowing Light, rapidly advancing towards the top floor of the Void Palace.
"Is this the power of the laws of space?" Lu Yan'an sensed the fluctuations of the laws contained in the invisible forces around him with his Spiritual Force power. It was magnificent, boundless, yet ethereal. It was a law power that was in no way weaker than the power of time.
The two flew upwards, passing through each level in a Floating Light.
Each level of the Void Palace was incredibly vast and tall. Soon, the Tianyu King led Lu Yan'an to the top level of the Void Palace.
Judging from its decoration and size, this highest-level hall should be the most spacious and magnificent hall in this Void Palace.
For example, on the first floor, there is a main hall specifically for parking spaceships, a side hall for receiving visitors, a side hall for immortals to rest, and a side hall specifically for monitoring the Mingguang Star mission world. In short, each of the previous main halls, although spacious, is divided into many sections.
The highest level, however, offers a vast and unobstructed view, with the entire structure appearing as one.
The entire highest level was not divided; its main hall was thousands of kilometers long, wide, and high, making it incredibly vast.
"Is this the Void Palace Master?" When the Tianyu King's speed slowed down instantly, Lu Yan'an realized that he must have arrived. Sure enough, as soon as he looked up, he saw the huge figure on the central throne.
He wore a long golden robe, which, though seemingly gaudy, was perfectly assimilated by his transcendent aura. Upon closer inspection, the robe appeared to produce countless illusions, and one could vaguely see the flow of the Universe Origin Law upon it. Yet, in the blink of an eye, the robe remained just a robe, unchanged. It was illusory yet unfathomable.
Seated on the throne, his consciousness wandered into the endless void Void Palace.
At one point, the aura he exuded seemed even more profound and expansive than the void outside the palace.
"Lord of the Palace!" Even the Tianyu King, who had previously acted extremely arrogantly in front of the Aurora Race's high-ranking members, lowered his haughty head and bowed respectfully.
"Go." The voice was clear and calm, carrying a sense of detachment as if one had seen through the rise and fall of the world.
"Yes." The Tianyu King instantly transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and left the top floor. A light screen appeared at the staircase and then disappeared, seemingly closing the passage.
At this moment, the Void Palace Master's gaze finally fell on Lu Yan'an.
What vast and profound eyes they were! Unfathomable, like stars hanging high in the sky, yet possessing a detached, Deity aura. Like resentment and longing, like weeping and lamenting, they contained the birth and death of the universe, and concealed the rise and fall of history! Although the Void Palace Master was of average height, even the giants felt as if they were facing an endless universe before him, realizing their own insignificance.
"Lu Yan'an!" A voice resounded in his heart.
At this moment, Lu Yan'an seemed to finally regain his senses. "Even with my willpower, I was still influenced by him. This is too terrifying!" You must know that Lu Yan'an's most prized willpower is comparable to that of Immortal Expert at the King Level. The willpower boost brought by the perfect state of mind is incredibly terrifying! Even so, he was still involuntarily affected by a single glance from the Void Palace Master.
This is perfectly normal. The great and eternal beings standing at the pinnacle of the universe, through the trials of endless Years and the influence of the Universe Origin, would have their wills reach incredible levels. How could a mere Universe Level little guy who has lived for less than a hundred years be worthy of being compared to such powerful beings? Let alone comparing them, just mentioning them would probably make people laugh their heads off.
"Your willpower is quite good; overall, you haven't wasted your talent." The Void Palace Master nodded slightly, his voice seemingly penetrating the entire world. "It seems my Virtual Universe Company's decision to hold the Genius Tournament was absolutely correct. Just the emergence of you alone makes all this investment worthwhile!"
As the invincible being who suppressed Mingguang Star, the Void Palace Master rarely gave such high praise. This is because Lu Yan'an's talent and temperament are truly too high. Even with the Void Palace Master's endless Years experience, it would be difficult to find a genius more outstanding than Lu Yan'an!
