At the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way Headquarters, the moment Peng Gong Divine Temple's consciousness withdrew from the Virtual Universe, a cold notification sound suddenly rang in Tang Ping's mind.

[Ding! Cosmic Galaxy Bank notification: Your account has been credited with 1,000,000,000,000 Hunyuan Unit. Note: Reward for World Lord Rank Heaven-Reaching Mountain. High-return investment recommendation: Reply R to unsubscribe]

A string of zeros made Tang Ping's eyes light up. He rubbed his hands together, his gaze sweeping intently over the figures coming and going in the Divine Temple, the smile on his lips almost impossible to suppress.

Just kidding. Back when the future Luo Feng broke through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, how fast did the news spread? It was like a cacophony of gongs, drums, and firecrackers. Even the stray cats and dogs passing by probably had to join in the fun.

Now that Tang Ping has accomplished such a feat, surely those important figures will come to admire his charisma, or at least try to cultivate a relationship with him?

With this delightful anticipation, Tang Ping plunged back into the Virtual Universe, scrolling through announcements, browsing news, and checking private messages, afraid of missing any message that came from people who had come seeking him out.

But this wait lasted for three whole days.

The starry sky outside the Divine Temple was still dazzling, but his private inbox was as clean as if it had been licked by a dog.

Tang Ping was dumbfounded.

What's going on? Has the human elite gone into hibernation? He's still waiting to give exclusive interviews, show off in public, and enjoy the glory of being the center of attention!

He stroked his chin, and an idea popped into his head: why not create a fake account and casually "leak" the fact that he had passed through Heaven-Reaching Mountain? After all, this was an immense honor, and even if he became Venerable or the Universe Master in the future, he would still have a lot of face to show it off!

Imagine this scene: a Third-Order Universe Master stands opposite him, arrogantly boasting about his power, and he only needs to casually ask, "Oh? So you've conquered the Primal Tongtian Mountain?"

Hahaha! Perfect!

Just as Tang Ping was happily rolling up his sleeves, preparing to register a new account, a ripple suddenly appeared in the surrounding space-time, and an invisible force swept him away, instantly pulling him into the depths of the Divine Temple.

After a brief moment of confusion, Tang Ping recognized the familiar figure on the high platform and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Grandmaster!"

Looking at his disciple's obedient appearance from the high platform, Peng Gong couldn't help but shake his head, a slight smile playing on his lips. Both he and Wind-Thunder were steady and composed; how could they have chosen such a lively and unruly disciple?

However, thinking about the remarkable feat his grand-disciple had accomplished this time, Peng Gong felt a sense of satisfaction.

That's such a great achievement!

"Tang Ping, are you wondering why no one knows about your passage through Heaven-Reaching Mountain?" Peng Gong's voice, tinged with authority, rang out slowly.

Tang Ping honestly replied, "This disciple does not know."

Peng Gong chuckled lightly, "The reason is simple. Your talent is too outstanding; it can no longer be described as genius. Calling you a prodigy wouldn't be an exaggeration. In just a few thousand years, you have gained the recognition of the Origin Law of Time and Space, become Black Warrior, and now you have cultivated a hundredfold increase in your genes and even given birth to Nether Sea Clone."

He paused, his gaze turning serious. "As long as you don't perish along the way, your future is limitless. However, if news of you gets out, it might attract the covetous eyes of the Universe Supreme Being in the Alien Race universe, who might even personally try to eliminate you."

"In ordinary crises, I can still ask the Giant Axe Progenitor to revive you. But ask yourself honestly, with your current strength, can you withstand the Soul Enslavement of the Universe Supreme Being?"

Tang Ping's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously glanced at the "King Rank" willpower value on the mental panel and shook his head vigorously. "No confidence!"

Those who understand the times are wise!

Peng Gong nodded in satisfaction. "It's good that you understand. But I also know that with your impulsive nature, you probably won't be able to resist bragging to your relatives and friends. I won't stop you from doing that. Anyway, without ethnic verification, even if others hear it, they'll just think you're bragging."

Tang Ping's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yay!

If I can't show off in front of the whole universe, then I can at least show off to Luo Feng, Thunder God, Hong, and the others. That shouldn't be a problem, right? Okay, I'll have to think about the lines carefully later. This time, I'm going to make a big show of myself!

Seeing his disciple's beaming face, Peng Gong couldn't help but chuckle. He was indeed young, full of energy, and couldn't hide his thoughts at all.

He continued, "However, considering the great contributions you have made to humanity, the race will not treat you unfairly. Although you are now at the Realm Lord level, you can apply for an additional 100 billion Hunyuan cultivation resources for free. You can use these resources yourself or give them to others, it's entirely up to you."

"Once you break through to immortality, your clan will bestow upon you a common Soul Defense Supreme Treasure, plus a complete set of Heavy Treasure, including weapons and armor."

"Once you advance to the Venerable level, you will be bestowed with a high-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure, plus a set of Ordinary Supreme Treasure!"

Tang Ping's eyes widened in astonishment, and he quickly pressed for an answer, "Then... what if this disciple becomes the Universe Master?"

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Peng Gong couldn't help but burst into laughter. He recalled how arrogant Wind-Thunder had been back then, even declaring that her master was too weak, taking so long to break through to the Universe Master, and that she was determined to break the record for the fastest advancement among Human Race.

And what happened? Now that girl never mentions it again.

He suppressed his smile and looked at Tang Ping solemnly, "If you can truly become the Universe Master, then you will be the pillar of the Human Race, and it will be your turn to share the burdens and difficulties of the people."

However, according to the clan's rules, you will receive a Supreme Treasure Point equivalent to Top-tier Supreme Treasure. At that time, you can choose whatever you want from the Race Treasury; simply exchange it for what you desire!

Tang Ping suddenly straightened his back, his voice booming like a bell. "Human Race Yongheng!"

Loyalty!

Looking at him like this, Peng Gong's smile deepened, and he whispered in agreement, "Human Race Yongheng!"

The moment Tang Ping stepped out of the Peng Gong Divine Temple, his chest was straightened, and his steps were large and heavy, giving off an air of "I am the best in the world." His eyes and brows were filled with undisguised smugness, and he glanced at everyone with a sidelong look.

I'm just that awesome!

The two Realm Lord guards on duty at the gate were filled with resentment but dared not utter a single word. After all, they had witnessed with their own eyes that this young man had been brought into the Divine Temple by the Sovereign, who was the high and mighty Lord of Peng Gong, who looked down upon all living beings!

This kid is just a nobody Realm Lord, how could he possibly be related to a Sovereign? He must be related to someone by blood! The two of them were seething with envy.

Why does he get all the good things while we don't?! Waaaaah~

The next second, Tang Ping suddenly stopped, turned around, and said in a very hearty tone, "I'm in a good mood today, so I'm sending out red envelopes as a treat for drinks with my brothers. From now on, we're friends!"

[Ding! You have received a red envelope from Tang Ping, amount: 100 million Universe Coin!]

A crisp notification sound rang in their minds. The two guards were startled at first, but then the gloom on their faces vanished instantly, replaced by forced, obsequious smiles. They called out in unison, "Brother Ping!"

Tang Ping watched this scene, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

Indeed, there are still more kind people than bad in this world.
