Lingshen Planet, Elder Council.

Jiang Yao stood before the seats in the middle of the Elder Council and said softly, "Clan Leader, Old Patriarch, Prose, Kuman... it's been a long time. Please have a seat."

Prose and Kuman, among others, glanced at the other Elder of the realm with a mixture of excitement and trepidation, but did not actually sit down.

Jiang Yao's expression darkened slightly. "Sit down, all of you."

Only after the Clan Leader Kasa and a dozen other realm lords, along with Meng Yi and the other two, dared to sit down.

Not only did Kasa and the other Elder of the realm become cautious in their attitude towards Jiang Yao, but even powerful figures and geniuses from the same Yanhe Branch, such as Meng Yi and Prose, who had previously had a good relationship with Jiang Yao, also became respectful towards him.

Jiang Yao knew that if he returned normally this time, Meng Yi, Prose and others might treat him more warmly, after all, five hundred years is not a long time.

However, the scene of Jiang Yao killing the invading God Lord Jinlun of Yinhu Island was now etched in the hearts of all the Lingtong Race.

That battle, where every move shook the universe, was enough to make all life below the immortal realm tremble.

Witnessing the difference in strength firsthand is far more direct than simply hearing about the titles of geniuses at the Core Layer Virtual Universe Company.

For Clan Leader Kasa and others, Jiang Yao had, in a sense, reached the status of the fallen ancestor Jiuyuan.

Jiang Yao sighed inwardly. This instinctive reverence and fear towards those with the power of Immortal God could only be partially resolved through daily interactions.

"I've returned this time as Inspector Envoy for the Xuanshang Branch the Virtual Universe Company, and I'll be staying in the Xuanshang Universe Country for a while."

"Inspector Envoy of Xuanshang Branch?"

Not only were Meng Yi and the others completely bewildered, but even the Clan Leader Kasa and more than a dozen Elder of the realm were also confused.

After all, the Xuanshang Universe Country hasn't had Inspector Envoy for a very, very long time.

Jiang Yao smiled and said, "All you need to know is that this is a temporary position, equivalent to the three department heads of the Xuanshang Branch of the Virtual Universe Company."

In fact, his highest status right now is that of the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, but there's no need to tell them that, since the Lingtong Race doesn't even know who the Chaos City Lord is.

"His position is equivalent to three ministers..."

Kasa was excited but also a little incredulous. He knew how powerful the upper echelons of the Virtual Universe Company's Xuanshang Branch were. When their ancestor was still alive, the Lingtong Race had applied to the Virtual Universe Company's Commerce Department to rent the space on Kasolo Island to build Jiuyuan City.

The influence of the Virtual Universe Company's Commerce Department and Martial Department within the Xuanshang Universe Country is unmatched by any other force. The leaders wield immense power, and countless Immortal God have to curry favor with them. Even the ancestor Jiuyuan was not qualified to meet such important figures. The Military Department, on the other hand, is more low-key, and he doesn't know much about it.

Jiang Yao smiled and said, "You should have all seen the list I gave you before. Some of the treasures are meant to replenish the clan's resources, and some of the resources are enough, according to the secret manual, to cultivate ten Rank 9 Cloud -Moyun Vine with 216 main vines each."

The resources required to cultivate 10 World Lord Moyun Vine are less than those required for one Crimson Thunder Grass. However, the Crimson Thunder Grass is still useful to Jiang Yao. It not only has strong defensive capabilities but can also nurture "Lu Yuan Thunder Crystal" with power comparable to low-grade Fire God Source Crystal. Moreover, once it is cultivated into an Immortal, it will become one of his trump cards.

The Elder of the realm were both surprised and delighted. The World Lord Level Moyun Vine Lingtong Race certainly existed, but there were only three of them, and all of them were Moyun Vine with 72 main vines. Spirit Moyun Vine with 216 main vines could not be cultivated by the Lingtong Race. It required specific cultivation methods and several extremely precious items in a specific ratio to cultivate.

However, once cultivated, its combat power far surpasses that of a ninth-level World Lord, capable of easily killing an ordinary ninth-level human World Lord, and it also possesses extremely terrifying defensive capabilities.

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yao conjured 100 humanoid Mechanical Puppet, each twelve meters tall and covered in dark gold, within the magnificent Elder Council.

"Buzz!"

One hundred towering Mechanical Puppet activated their energy, their eyes opening to reveal red pupils, their powerful aura sending chills down the spines of everyone present.

"These are F9-level Mechanical Puppet, forged from pure Dark Gold Iron Mother. Each one has an attack power far exceeding that of a world lord, and they are immune to Soul Attack. Their bodies are extremely tough and hard, with very high stability, making them difficult to destroy. However, they need to be fully charged with energy cores before they can be used. Once the energy is depleted, they cannot exert any attack power."

The F9-level Mechanical Puppet isn't actually expensive; Jiang Yao exchanged it for only 1000 points in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury. However, it's a strictly controlled weapon that would never appear in normal trading markets or even in the Virtual Universe Company's Level 3 auctions. Ordinary races and factions, no matter how rich, cannot buy it.

One precious treasure after another appeared, dazzling the high-ranking Lingtong Race.

Jiang Yao shook his head slightly. He actually still had a few Holy Star Stone in his hand. However, although Holy Star Stone seemed precious, they were actually somewhat useless, especially for the Lingtong Race.

Only Domain Lord Ninth Stage can use it. Once a Realm Lord is reached, the Realm Lord's own Inner World will conflict with the world inside the Holy Star Stone. Therefore, World Lord Level experts cannot fuse with the Holy Star Stone.

Therefore, Holy Star Stone are only meaningful when produced in large quantities, as they can be used to create powerful individuals with the strength of a ninth-tier Realm Lord. Otherwise, they are quite useless. With the Moyun Vine and F9-level Mechanical Puppet, the Lingtong Race is not lacking in ordinary ninth-tier World Lord Level combatants.

Of course, the Holy Star Stone is of great use to true Domain Lord- level geniuses. They have Law Comprehension comparable to Immortal God, but their basic strength is too weak. The Holy Star Stone can bring a great leap in their actual combat power.

However, the real treasure Jiang Yao brought to the Lingtong Race was not these, but the Xueluo Crystal.

He plundered over a thousand Xueluo Crystal in the Xueluo World, which even attracted the pursuit of the Immortal Temple.

Besides exchanging them for the Virtual Universe Company, he still had 300 left.

Xueluo Crystal are unavailable for purchase within the Virtual Universe Company; they are only taken in and never given out. The channels for obtaining them are very limited, making them a treasure that cannot be bought with any amount of wealth.

These 300 Xueluo Crystal are the true legacy Jiang Yao left for the Lingtong Race.

After exchanging Elder with the elders of the Lingtong Race and their friends such as Meng Yi, Prose, Kuman about the development of the Lingtong Race over the past few hundred years, Jiang Yao issued an order for the Elder Council to gather cosmic-level powerhouses within one era in age.

The news of Jiang Yao's return—the most dazzling genius in the history of the Lingtong Race —and his slaying of Immortal God, along with the Elder Council's selection of outstanding cosmic-level warriors, spread throughout the entire territory of the Lingtong Race.

The Elder Council mobilized at near-maximum speed in response to Jiang Yao's order. Although they didn't know Jiang Yao's purpose, it was clearly a great thing for the Lingtong Race.

There were even rumors that Jiang Yao was going to take on disciples, which excited the entire Lingtong Race.

However, when more than a thousand outstanding cosmic-level warriors of the Lingtong Race gathered on Lingshen Planet, the results of the experiment greatly disappointed Jiang Yao.

Not a single one of the more than a thousand cosmic-level warriors was able to fuse with the Xueluo Crystal.

Even the Domain Lord and realm lords of the Elder Council tried, but none of them were able to successfully fuse.

Bajie, from the Taihuan Token, lay leisurely on the conjured bed, casually remarking, "Do you think these warriors of your Lingtong Race are the Core Layer geniuses of your Virtual Universe Company? Even among the Core Layer of the five major powers, only a very small number can fuse a single Xueluo Crystal."

Being able to fuse a single Xueluo Crystal grants one the title of Blood Warrior, equivalent to completing the most difficult task in the Xueluo World; only one in a hundred can achieve this.

This is the most outstanding genius that Virtual Universe Company recruited from the 1008 Universe Country.

"Sigh, as expected, the Lingtong Race is not from Earth Humans." Jiang Yao shook his head.

Although the Lingtong Race is far stronger than Earth, in terms of potential and talent, they are no match for the Earth Humans who have been nurtured and influenced by the Mountain Sitting Guest.

It will be very difficult for them to rise to prominence like the Earth Humans in the future. Without sufficient overall talent, let alone Jiang Yao, even if the Universe Master were to be in charge, it would be useless. Ordinary immortals might be able to be created by accumulating resources, but the Universe Venerable and the Universe Master cannot rely solely on resources.

"Hehe, if you really want your Lingtong Race to produce more geniuses, there are ways."

Jiang Yao's eyes lit up, and he asked in confusion, "What method?"

Bajie said, "One way is for you to conceive your own offspring."

"To bear children?"

"Why are you so surprised?" Bajie sneered. "Otherwise, how do you think the Desolate God increase their population? For example, Bizhang can only have a maximum of three offspring, and some powerful Desolate God can only have one offspring in their entire lives."

Jiang Yao, somewhat puzzled, "Solely... conceived?"

"What else?" Bajie said matter-of-factly, "The Desolate God are born divine beasts that embody the principles of Yin and Yang, and they have no gender distinction. Aren't the Starry Sky Behemoth and other divine beasts in your universe the same?"

Jiang Yao was taken aback. So, it seemed he could have children on his own?

That's understandable, though; he stopped being a decent human being a long time ago.

Doesn't the Nine Nether Lord have 108 children?

"But don't even think about it for the time being," Bajie said. "To nurture a true Desolate God, you need to be an adult individual. Your Desolate God split soul and Desolate God body come from a drop of Origin Blood Essence. It will be very difficult for you to reach the power and realm of a true adult Desolate God in this lifetime. Of course, you can also use the Origin Secret Technique to nurture life, and you can probably nurture offspring like Starry Sky Behemoth or some Special Lifeform levels."

However, the required energy is extremely vast, necessitating direct access to the power of Origin Blood Essence, but this is far too dangerous and it's best not to do it.

Jiang Yao shook his head. He had no plans to have children right now, no, he never planned to have any children in his life.

"However, there are other ways," Bajie laughed. "There are countless races on the Tianhuang Ancient Continent that are related to the Desolate God. Couldn't your Lingtong Race's ancestors have planted the Innate Secret Technique extracted from other ferocious beasts and monsters into their own bloodline? It's just that your Lingtong Race's physical Gene Level is not high enough to plant powerful Bloodline Secret Technique."

"But you can now completely create the image of Bizhang or Chiling into a secret technique and plant it at the source of the Lingtong Race's bloodline, just like the Beast God Statue. Although it doesn't have specific power, Bizhang himself is the representative of the Law of Light, and the manifestation of the Fusion Law. Although the current Beast God Intent is only at the first level, it is enough."

Jiang Yao's eyes lit up. "That's right. If Lingtong Race genius can awaken this Bloodline Secret Technique, it's equivalent to possessing a Beast God Statue. Not only can it enhance its comprehension of the corresponding Origin Law, but it can also use the Beast God Intent contained within to strengthen its body and even add it to its attacks, causing its combat power to increase exponentially."

"Drop."

Jiang Yao was about to take immediate action, paused for a moment.

"A message?"

Jiang Yao immediately connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe Network, and his pupils contracted after opening the email.

The email's subject was "Domain Lord- Level Highest Points Mission".

"The appointment of the Inspector Envoy hasn't been finalized yet, but the points-based tasks have come out quickly." Jiang Yao frowned and carefully read the contents of the email.
