A Strange Points Mission
Virtual Universe, a floating island above the Zhulun Continent.
Inside a magnificent and beautiful amphitheater that resembles Hall of Gods, thirty-four enormous stone thrones carved from rock surround the entire Hall of Gods on the highest level.
Nearly twenty figures appeared one after another on the thrones.
"Zhenxuan King, is there something you need?" one of the men in white asked, frowning.
The Zhenxuan King, wearing Bronze Mask and becoming the focus of attention for over a dozen King-level Immortal, remained unfazed and declared loudly, "Jiang Yao has arrived in the Xuanshang Universe Country and has killed an Immortal God from Yinhu Island near the capital star of the Lingtong Race."
"Yinhu Island ..." The man in white frowned and said, "Is that the force that has a grudge against the Lingtong Race? Was its founder Jinlun, who was once expelled from my Talun Race and later came under your Jin Lun?"
Because of Yedier Inheritance Communication Talisman and Jiang Yao's rapid rise, many forces began to learn about the past of this new disciple of the Chaos City Lord, especially the Talun Race.
"He hasn't taken office yet, has he?" another figure on the throne interjected. "Even if he has been appointed Inspector Envoy the Xuanshang Universe Country the Virtual Universe Company, daring to openly kill an Immortal God within Human Territory without orders is an unforgivable act. Even if he is a disciple of the Chaos City Lord, he should be imprisoned in the Star Domain Prison as a sign of severe punishment!"
Zhenxuan King calmly stated, "Kasolo Empire Emperor Marquis Huanqiong of the Casalo Empire has already submitted an explanation to the Universe Country and the branches of the five major powers. It was Jin Lun who took the initiative to enter the territory of the Lingtong Race to slaughter the Lingtong Race, but was stopped by Marquis Huanqiong, and subsequently killed by Jiang Yao who arrived at the scene."
A moment of silence fell over everyone. Although the five major powers would not allow open vigilante killings among human Immortal Expert, it was no one else's fault but their own for starting the fight and being killed.
"The Chaos City Lord is spoiling Jiang Yao far too much. Treasures that can kill Immortal God at the Domain Lord level are rare indeed," a King-level expert murmured. "And Jiang Yao actually returned to the Xuanshang Universe Country alone without a sound? Isn't he afraid of being assassinated by Alien Race?"
Zhenxuan King, "Because Youyuan Venerable has also come to the Xuanshang Universe Country and appeared with His Majesty the Xuanshang Universe Lord."
"Youyuan Venerable?" A commotion erupted within the temple.
The man in white nodded and said, "No wonder. With Youyuan Venerable here, Jiang Yao can summon him at any time within the Xuanshang Universe Country. Even Space Seal is useless."
Youyuan Venerable may not be the most powerful Universe Overlord the Human Race, but he is definitely the most troublesome and the most difficult to kill.
His achievements in the Space-Time Fusion Path are almost unmatched. Not only can he teleport over extremely long distances, but even the Space Seal cast by Universe Venerable can be broken in a Teleportation. With such a great being protecting him and a defensive treasure on his body, Jiang Yao certainly has the capital to be fearless.
Zhenxuan King added, "It was also due to my inadequate supervision. Who knew that the God Lord Jinlun had actually hidden a Prison Race life form called 'Tiku', which gave him the courage to take such a risk."
"What?"
"Tiku?"
The figures on each of the enormous thrones became excited.
"Hmph!" The man in white snorted coldly. He was Invincible King-level, and didn't care much about Tiku: "What's all the fuss about? What does the treasure that fell into Jiang Yao's hands have to do with you?"
This cold snort calmed all the King-level Immortal down. As the disciple of the Chaos City Lord, Jiang Yao had Youyuan Venerable as his bodyguard, ready to descend at any time. Let alone one Tiku, even if he obtained a hundred Tiku, no one would dare to covet him.
"Zhenxuan King, Jiang Yao is the most outstanding genius of our Human Race. You absolutely cannot have any more conflicts with him." The man in white said solemnly to Zhenxuan King, "It's normal for such a genius to be a little arrogant. Even if he makes some demands, you should try your best to cooperate with him and satisfy him. If necessary, you can promise him that we can return the Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal to him."
"King Longchen, can the Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal be given away so casually?"
"I disagree!"
"This Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal was indeed obtained by that Lingtong Race Immortal, but he was killed by a powerful Alien Race. Life and death on the Outer-Region Battlefield are predestined, and he has no one to blame but himself. Moreover, Zhenxuan King avenged him. If Jiang Yao suspects that King Zhenxuan King was behind this, let him produce evidence."
Dressed in white, King Longchen remained calm and said, "This is the Holy Lord's will."
The previously excited King-level Immortal fell silent for a moment.
"How could the Holy Lord make such a decision... No matter how monstrous Jiang Yao is, he's still just a genius, not a true powerhouse. Who knows how far he can grow? Didn't Kedi also perish in a Cosmic Secret Realm?"
King Longchen ignored the dissatisfaction of the other King-level Immortal and looked at Zhenxuan King, saying, "My Talun Race is sincere, but we will not let him manipulate us. We are only doing this because of his future potential and his status as the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord. If he pushes too far, you don't need to compromise at every turn. He is a peerless genius of the Virtual Universe Company, and my Giant Axe Coliseum is not without geniuses who can rival him. He does not yet have the status to do whatever he wants."
"Yes," Zhenxuan King, wearing Bronze Mask, replied expressionlessly, bowing his head.
"... The first stage of the mission is the first step in the entire Highest Points Mission, and it provides the most basic basis for judging the completion of the Highest Points Mission..."
Jiang Yao quickly read through the attachment:
The ruler of the 'Shewolf Starfield' of the Xuanshang Universe Country is called the 'Black Moon Sacred Land'. The Black Moon Sacred Land raises slaves on a large scale. Apart from a portion of these slaves being used for normal trade, most of these slaves are hidden and do not enter the normal slave trade market, but instead flow into an illegal trading chain.
So... Jiang Yao, you need to investigate the slaves hidden by the Black Moon Sacred Land, and where these hidden slaves went.
Upload the investigation report to the Virtual Universe Network, and the first stage of the mission ends, while the second stage begins.
The first mission has a time limit of 100 years. You can request the assistance of the Virtual Universe Company's Xuanshang Branch to investigate this illegal slave trade chain, and you can use the Guard Army to assist in carrying out the mission.
Jiang Yao frowned as he looked at the requirements of the Highest Points Mission and the first-stage task, feeling something was off.
This task didn't even mention maintaining constant synchronization with the Virtual Universe Network; does it only care about the result?
And the mission ends once the investigation report is uploaded to the Virtual Universe Network?
Shouldn't we care whether the report is true or false?
Moreover, since all he needed was an investigation report, and he wasn't asked to take action personally, and was even allowed to have the Virtual Universe Company's Xuanshang Branch assist in the investigation, given the Virtual Universe Company's ubiquitous power in its Commerce Department and Martial Department, which are practically omnipresent and penetrate almost every industry, what couldn't he find out if he simply had the Xuanshang Branch investigate this Black Moon Sacred Land?
In other words, if even the Commerce Department, with its reach extending to every industry and countless employees, couldn't find out, how could Jiang Yao possibly find out on his own?
After much deliberation, Jiang Yao decided to hand over the strange first investigation task to the Xuanshang Branch of the Virtual Universe Company.
After all, this isn't a mission to arrest or kill someone. Investigative missions are time-consuming and laborious, so why not use the authority?
As for whether the Xuanshang Branch can find out the results, we'll see later. Anyway, there's plenty of time for the mission, a full hundred years.
During his Domain Lord stage, his most important task was to create his own cosmic Super Divine Weapon and unleash the powerful combat force of combining the Space-Time Law.
Secondly, one must master the "Zhenhuang Seal lineage, to achieve the Zhenhuang Undying Body.
This is to prepare him for the life-and-death trials when he breaks through to the realm master level in the future.
Xingyao Island, under the jurisdiction of the Xuanshang Continent.
The island is dotted with palaces, one after another, with the most dazzling being the silver palace at the very center, which stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers.
This island is the office of the Virtual Universe Company's Xuanshang Branch.
"Jiang Yao's appointment has been approved... That was way too fast!"
Beside the enormous round table in the grand hall stood three towering thrones, each occupied by a figure.
The speaker was a Golden Armor Man with a pair of white wings on his back.
"Wasn't this expected?" A Cyclops, standing at least 20 meters tall, said, "The 16th level of the Heavenly Bridge... Ha, even among the top geniuses of the five major powers' Core Layer, he's among the best. I wouldn't be surprised if he broke through to the realm master level right now to undergo life-or-death trials."
A Purple-Clad Woman with two deer antlers on her head pondered, "Actually, this is a good thing. He probably won't stay at the Domain Lord stage for too long."
The Winged Golden Armor Man nodded and said, "It's just our bad luck that we encountered such a genius at this time. It's only been five hundred years since the Genius Tournament... The power of the Inspector Envoy is too great."
"Hmph, power depends on who holds it." The Cyclops said, "Ordinary Primal Secret Region Member generally don't exercise their power to monitor us. After all, the life-and-death trials of the Realm Lord stage are a death trap. If they offend too many people, it will also affect their clan and power in the Xuanshang Universe Country."
"But Jiang Yao killed an Immortal God so decisively as soon as he arrived, which shows that the treasure bestowed upon him by the Chaos City Lord is no ordinary item. This shows how much the company's higher-ups value him. His rise has been too fast and too dazzling. I'm afraid that Jiang Yao doesn't understand human relationships. If we really investigate him seriously, the three of us might all end up in the Star Domain Prison."
The Winged Golden Armor Man frowned and said, "Don't worry too much. There are many secret realms in the Xuanshang Universe Country. Our three positions are indeed very lucrative, but there are also many powerful forces involved. If we really investigate seriously, many forces will be implicated. We don't even need to think of anything; those major forces, top races, and powerful figures with all sorts of extraordinary backgrounds will put pressure on us from above. Even if he is the disciple of the Chaos City Lord and has a noble status, doesn't he think about the Lingtong Race? Can he be sure that he won't perish halfway through?"
"We must make sure this ancestor is comfortable. We'll do whatever he says, and we'll pretend to investigate whatever he wants. Geniuses like him are usually cultivation fanatics, and their energy will definitely be focused on cultivation. Maybe he'll just go into seclusion and ignore everything else?"
A moment later--
"Beep!" "Beep!" "Beep!"
A piercing alarm sounded in the hall.
"He's here!"
The three leaders stood up abruptly, greeting the new Inspector Envoy with the warmest smiles and attitudes.
