Thunder Island Tang Ping's various teasing remarks, Luo Feng appeared helpless on the surface, but felt a warmth in his heart.

He knew his brother's personality all too well. He usually seemed unserious and unreliable, but when he learned that his Supreme Treasure had been exposed, he rushed over to tease and comfort him, simply to put his mind at ease.

Good brothers, for life!

When will he be able to change this impulsive nature? Luo Feng thought to himself, he didn't want to work so hard anymore, he really wanted to just cling to Tang Ping, the Universe Master, and lie down.

He was truly exhausted after fighting alone out there for so long.

The next moment.

"Ding~"

Luo Feng was slightly taken aback; it was a message from the Human Race, inviting him to attend the Supreme Council!

That was the most prestigious meeting at the Human Race level, with the threshold for participation being the strength of Venerable. The venue was filled with powerful figures, and he even had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the true faces of the supreme experts of the Human Race.

"I've never attended the Supreme Council before," Luo Feng said expectantly.

"Me too." Tang Ping grinned.

"Walk!"

The moment the two had a thought, their consciousness instantly connected to the Virtual Universe.

Mount of Gods, the Hall of Gods, is the venue for the Supreme Council of the Human Race.

This sacred mountain will only open from the Chaos when the parliament convenes and the Virtual Universe System issues a widespread notification.

Clouds and mist surged, mountains appeared and disappeared in the mist, and one after another, the figures of powerful Human Race gathered in front of the Divine Temple, their auras either as deep as an abyss, as sharp as a sword, or as vast as the starry sky.

"Blade River King!"

"Luo Feng!"

As soon as Luo Feng landed, several Cosmic Venerable were talking not far away greeted him warmly.

"Venerable Boswa, Venerable Thunderclap, Venerable Blood Robe." Luo Feng nodded in response to each of them. With his current powerful soul force, even if he wasn't very familiar with these Venerable, he could recognize their identities at a glance. Since others had taken the initiative to show goodwill, he had no reason to put on airs.

Especially this Venerable Boswa, who was short and had green hair and a strange appearance, belonged to the same Virtual Universe Company and had some connection with him.

Back when he was doing the Domain Lord level trial mission, this guy had secretly set a trap for him. However, after Luo Feng broke through to Immortality, Boswa immediately came to his door to apologize, insisting that it was his temporary worker who had acted on his own initiative. He not only severely punished the person involved but also sent generous gifts to apologize.

Since they belonged to the same company and would run into each other frequently, Luo Feng hadn't suffered any real loss and didn't want to put his Chaos City Lord teacher in a difficult position. Besides, he didn't judge people by their appearance, so even if Boswa was really ugly, he just laughed it off.

"Blade River King, that King Fei Jing caused you quite a bit of trouble after Reverse Time and Space to revive." The Venerable Blood Robe said with a smile, somewhat sighing, "Soul-type Supreme Treasure, Flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure —tsk tsk, such a foundation would probably make many Alien Race Cosmic Overlord green with envy. You'd better be more careful when you travel the universe in the future."

Luo Feng smiled faintly, "It's just a little hardship. If those Alien Race want to attack me, they'd better consider whether they have the strength. They might just be delivering food to me instead."

"Remaining calm in the face of danger, truly worthy of the Blade River King!" the Venerable Blood Robe said admiringly, then lowered his voice, "To be honest, the information released by that King Fei Jing was too astonishing. Even I, if I were among the Alien Race, would probably not be able to resist attacking you."

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

"Take a look around at the distance," the Venerable Blood Robe gestured.

Luo Feng's gaze swept across the area, where thousands of Cosmic Venerable had already gathered in front of the Divine Temple, and countless more figures were constantly coalescing in the distant light and shadow.

Many of those unfamiliar Venerable were looking in his direction, their eyes flashing with light as they whispered among themselves. Though he couldn't hear the content of their conversations, he could sense their scrutiny.

The Venerable Blood Robe's voice grew increasingly deep. "Among the Cosmic Venerable, only a very few High Venerable possess a Supreme Treasure, while mid-level and Elementary Venerable can't even come close to Supreme Treasure. Such Supreme Treasure artifacts are only worthy of being possessed by the Cosmic Overlord in the fewest of their kind."

"And you, Luo Feng, not only possess Supreme Treasure, but also rare Soul-type Supreme Treasure, and even hold Flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure in your hands. Even among the Cosmic Overlord, there are probably few who can be as extravagant as you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng simply smiled calmly, neither confirming nor denying.

After chatting for a while, Boswa, finding himself unable to get a word in edgewise, suddenly raised his voice, attracting the attention of the surrounding Venerable.

"To be honest, this is so unfair! Luo Feng, you are now incredibly powerful and possess Supreme Treasure, yet the position of Earth's First Elder doesn't belong to you, but rather to that Tang Ping!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding Venerable all looked puzzled and shook their heads. "Tang Ping? Never heard of him."

Luo Feng feigned confusion, shrugging, "Not familiar with it."

Seeing this, Boswa became even more smug, patting his chest and saying, "You may not know him, but I do! I specifically investigated this kid before, and I'll tell you all about it today. Tang Ping's current position is all thanks to flattery and bootlicking!"

"You all know about the Ganyou Secret Realm, right? It's the Ganwu Secret Realm from before, isn't it? A few days ago, I was on official business and specifically asked the Ganyou World Lord to let me see Tang Ping's apprenticeship video. Can you guess why he became a disciple of Wind-Thunder Venerable?"

"That kid, he's still Universe Level. The moment he saw Wind-Thunder Venerable, he knelt down on the spot, weeping and wailing, his face covered in tears and snot. Anyone who didn't know the situation would think his whole family had been wiped out!"

"The Wind-Thunder Venerable was simple-minded to begin with. When he cried like that, his heart softened, and he took him in as a disciple, treating him as a confidant. He gave him all the good things, like the Venerable Token and shares in Earth!"

Boswa clicked his tongue twice, his face full of mockery, "I think if there were an award for the most touching Human Race geniuses," Tang Ping would win the gold medal!"

Upon hearing this, the Venerable, including Luo Feng, instinctively took two steps back, as if afraid of being splattered with blood.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Boswa laughed heartily, "What are you all afraid of? We are all from the Virtual Universe Company, backed by the Chaos City Lord. Are we afraid of a mere Wind-Thunder Venerable?"

"That's right, he did teach me a lesson last time, but that was because I wasn't careful! Now I work in the Thousand Treasure River region, hidden in a secret hall, and no one can find me. Even if that Wind-Thunder Venerable has great abilities, what can he do to me?"

"I'm just stating the facts. Is the Human Race really so dark that it can't tolerate a fair word? I'm just speaking up for Luo Feng!"

Upon hearing this, the assembled Venerable thought it over and agreed that it made sense.

They're in the right, and they have powerful backers, so what are they afraid of?

Luo Feng stood to the side, his expression strange, his lips twitching slightly, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that he had become the center of attention, Boswa became even more excited and continued speaking with spittle flying, "Actually, the style of the Wind-Thunder Venerable lineage has always been problematic!"

Take that King Anle, now Venerable Anle, for example. Don't you all think he's like King Iron Face —impartial, just, and fair?

"But do you know what he did in the Solar System? On the surface, his achievements Solar System seem outstanding, but as far as I know, it was all done by King Iron Face's disciple Marquis Justice! As for Venerable Anle himself, he didn't do a single thing!"

"He served as the guardian of the Solar System for over 20,000 years, and was also the head of the Solar System Security Branch of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. And yet, he didn't know a single person in the branch! When people came to visit, he would arrogantly ask them, 'Which unit are you from? What are you doing here?'"

"But if he encounters a woman with even a little bit of beauty, he remembers her perfectly! Not to mention women under the command of the Five Great Powers in the Milky Way Galaxy, he can even call out the nicknames of newly recruited girls in remote star sectors!"

Upon hearing this, the Venerable Ones present could no longer contain themselves and all shook their heads with laughter.

Luo Feng silently took two steps back.

Seeing that everyone was echoing him, Boswa became even more unscrupulous and brought up another one. "There's also the Carefree King who guards the Sword Tomb in the Initial Universe, who is also King-Rank Immortal under the Wind-Thunder Venerable!"

What is the Sword Tomb? It is a sacred site for the Human Race's heritage. What a weighty responsibility it is to guard this place!

"But this Carefree King, instead of doing anything productive, Tiantian hoeing the fields in Luo Feng's newly built mansion in the Initial Universe! I bet if there were a grassroots labor award for Human Race this year, I'd vote for him first! His farm work skills are absolutely superb, even better than professional farmers!"

Upon hearing this, all the Venerable burst into laughter, their gazes all falling on Luo Feng, their teasing intent palpable.

Luo Feng:

What could he say? He was just casually fooling Tang Ping, saying that there was a bottle of fine wine worth 10 billion Hunyuan buried in the ground of the mansion, and asked him to help guard it.

Seeing Boswa still talking non-stop and spitting as he spoke, Luo Feng silently mourned for him.

Hopefully, this kid will be alright later.
