Three Years in Seclusion, Still an Internet-Addicted Master on His Return

In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed.

Dressed in all black, Tang Ping logged into the Virtual Universe once again, exuding an air of transcendence that seemed to say, "The universe is in my hands, and all things arise from my heart."

For three consecutive years, he was immersed in the innate supernatural power of soul fusion with the Fire Fox Clan, and all the negative emotions and worldly desires accumulated in his heart were completely absorbed and cleansed.

At this moment, I feel neither sorrow nor joy, neither desire nor want.

He suddenly felt that romantic love and romance were meaningless, and that it was better to chat and play games with his good online friends and brothers in the game.

These are the purest forms of happiness.

These netizens are unaware of his real-life identity. The aura of Universe Master and the heavy burden of Human Race's great cause have all vanished here, leaving only laughter, anger, and unrestrained indulgence.

This kind of carefree and comfortable feeling is irreplaceable!

Tang Ping first played games with Luo Hongguo, Canggu, Silver Eye for a few months. After the novelty wore off, he turned to chatting and joking in online groups.

These internet-addicted teenagers are terrifying! They waste their Tiantian and nights playing games instead of doing anything productive. If all the strong Human Race were like them, how could Human Race progress? How could the Hong Alliance grow stronger?

We must strongly oppose and resist this decadent trend!

Infinite Book Friends Group.

This is another gathering place for "internet addicts," but it's much more lively and diverse than groups that simply play games.

There are game addicts who play games all night long, "war correspondents" who spread all sorts of cosmic gossip, office workers who slack off at work, and arrogant, domineering administrators who love to throw money around.

There are female administrators who love sharing selfies, and mischievous group members who secretly post erotic pictures and get banned in the blink of an eye.

In the Virtual Universe, countless group chats gradually fall silent and eventually disappear, but this group, which he has been playing on and off for tens of thousands of years, remains lively.

Some group members have passed away, but their descendants have inherited their accounts and continued to stay in the group; some group members have obtained cultivation resources and broken through cultivation bottlenecks by relying on the occasional red envelopes they send; and some netizens have joined by chance, injecting new vitality into the group chat.

This group has remained active for tens of thousands of years and has never been quiet.

Tang Ping was always pleasantly surprised to see the group still bustling and lively every time he finished his seclusion and logged into the Virtual Universe.

Moon: "[Selfie] Today is another beautiful day~"

This is a beautiful girl from the Jade Rabbit Clan. Her greatest hobby is sharing various selfies. She has a sweet and soft voice and is particularly enthusiastic about discussing all kinds of romantic relationships, making her a veritable "giant in language."

However, if a member of the group were to suddenly decide to visit her home Universe Country, she would become shy and timid and refuse to come out at all.

Looking at the fluffy, soft, and adorably white rabbit tail behind the girl in the picture, Tang Ping's previously calm heart suddenly stirred with interest. He switched to his account "My Little Carp" and casually posted. "Look at her feet Moon."

System notification: [My Little Carp has been muted for ten minutes by administrator Moon!]

Moon: "Pervert! [Angry emoji]"

The group chat immediately erupted in chaos.

This group of "troublemakers" has always loved watching a spectacle; they get happy whenever they see someone having bad luck or running into trouble.

Tang Ping shook his head helplessly, secretly thinking: I really have met the wrong person.

Immediately, he used his administrator privileges to unmute himself and then promptly muted the netizens who had been jeering and mocking him for ten minutes.

Moon: "??? [Eyes wide open in shock] How did you solve that?!"

Tang Ping chuckled at this and casually sent a huge red envelope in the group chat, with the note. "Silence fee, shut up and receive a red envelope."

Immediately, the jeering in the group subsided, replaced by a chorus of flattery and praise.

The group members who were just mocking him are now all turning into "praise group members," showering him with compliments.

Even the Moon, which had been sulking just moments before, happily accepted the red envelope and sent several messages of praise, radiating sweetness.

Tang Ping was quite moved by the sudden change in the tone of the group chat.

The power of money is truly terrifying; it can distort someone's will so quickly!

After that, he chatted with the group members for a long time.

The conversation ranged from the "great achievements" of the Lord of Peace and Joy to the various new policies and changes in the Qian You Universe Country, then to the future development of the Human Race, the fierce competition among billions of races, and even comparisons of starship models, recommendations for travel and food from all over the universe, and so on.

After having a great chat, Tang Ping left the group chat with satisfaction.

To be fair, although most of these poor friends don't have much wealth, they are all quite knowledgeable. They know everything from the Universe Origin Laws to the customs and traditions of different places.

Tang Ping switched to the alias "Carefree King" and logged into the Hong Alliance virtual territory, heading to the open-air bar in the inner city, which was specifically for the Hong Alliance Cosmic Venerables to exchange information and relax.

Since the Primitive Star was launched, this bar has become increasingly lively.

Almost every year, news of Venerable finding or seizing Supreme Treasure Heavy Treasures on the Primitive Star can be heard, which has made the bar increasingly popular.

The Resurrection Insurance offered by the Lord of Peace and Joy is truly amazing. Elementary Venerable only needs 1 Heavy Treasure Point to insure, and Middle Venerable only needs 3 Heavy Treasure Points.

Although for Venerable One, this premium is almost equivalent to most of their wealth, it's a free chance to revive and take a gamble!

In the past, when the Primitive Star was opened, these Venerable Ones were restrained and dared not fight desperately.

If one were to perish by chance, the desire to Reverse Time and Space and be resurrected would often require going bankrupt.

Now that there's Resurrection Insurance as a safety net, the situation is completely different.

Even the Venerable many weaker clans affiliated with the Hong Alliance dared to form teams and enter the Primitive Star, going all out to fight and plunder. Finding a Heavy Treasure was a huge profit; seizing a Supreme Treasure could change the fate of their clan.

Many Elementary Venerables have agreed on a strategy when forming teams: if they discover an Ordinary Supreme Treasure, one person will take the lead in seizing it, while the others will do everything in their power to stop the pursuers, even at the cost of self-destruction.

Even the most ordinary Supreme Treasure can be exchanged for thousands of Heavy Treasure Points. If everyone shares it, their wealth will multiply several times over. This deal is an absolute steal.

As more and more lucky individuals profited from the Primitive Star, more and more Venerable became interested.

The divine body of the Lord of Peace and Joy is far larger than a light-year. Reviving these few Venerables is merely a matter of lifting a finger and does not require much Divine Power. Moreover, only one Heavy Treasure Point is needed to obtain a chance to be resurrected once every 100,000 years.

With such a great opportunity, what is there to hesitate about?

More and more Venerable are rushing into the Primitive Star without hesitation. This is causing headaches for the Alien Race powerhouses who are also venturing into the Primitive Star.

These guys from the Hong Alliance are practically insane. They fight to the death whenever they see each other, regardless of the cost. And sometimes, in the middle of a fight, a group of the Hong Alliance Venerables will suddenly appear and surround them.

The relentless attrition warfare was Extreme Point disgusting!

The Peace and Joy Devil!

The bar was bustling with noise and exceptionally lively.

"The Carefree King!"

"Greetings, Carefree King!"

Tang Ping, dressed in casual clothes, moved among the tables of wine, and many Cosmic Venerables along the way stood up to greet him warmly.

Once he was out of sight, the Venerables immediately concealed their surroundings and huddled together whispering.

"Who is this? He's just a King-Rank Immortal, why are you all being so polite?" one of the Venerables, unaware of his background, asked in a low voice.

This is the exclusive bar for Venerables of the Hong Alliance; ordinary King Rank are not even qualified to step into it.

"You don't even recognize the Carefree King?" A Venerable beside him quickly curled his lip. "He is the King Rank who guards the Sword Tomb of the Lord of Peace and Joy. He was directly appointed by the Lord of Peace and Joy back then. He might even be a direct blood relative of the big boss!"

Didn't you see? They're both very similar in personality; they both like to befriend strong, independent women!

"What?! People of the Lord of Peace and Joy?" The Venerable had just asked the question instantly changed his expression, breaking out in a cold sweat. "Thank goodness, I didn't say anything carelessly!"

Tang Ping walked straight to an empty table and sat down in the huge chair.

The divine bodies of the powerful beings from various races in the Hong Alliance vary in structure, ranging from enormous to small and exquisite. Although these bar chairs are exquisitely carved and made of extraordinary materials, they all have one thing in common: they are large enough.

He ordered a glass of fruit wine.

The waiting Immortal Attendant moved swiftly, and a moment later brought over a glass of crystal-clear wine.

Being a waiter at this Venerable's Bar is an absolute dream job for countless Immortal Experts. Cosmic Venerables, who are rarely seen in ordinary times, can be found everywhere here; if you're lucky, you might even be able to curry favor with one of Venerable and seek some opportunity.

Even without the opportunity to build connections, one can occasionally hear secret messages from the depths of the universe or clues about the emergence of Supreme Treasures.

Over time, one can benefit greatly from this accumulation.

Tang Ping picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and then leaned back in his chair, listening to the surrounding conversation.

These Cosmic Venerables, who are revered as Dao Ancestors in their respective High-level Universe Country and territories spanning millions of light-years, are currently showering praise on the Lord of Peace and Joy, expressing gratitude for the Resurrection Insurance he introduced, and sharing their joy at obtaining treasures on the Primitive Star.

Tang Ping's mood immediately improved.

Although he didn't earn much money and was exhausted from the opening of the Primitive Star this time, at least he gained emotional value.

Good!

However, in a short while, the Venerables changed their topic and began to envy those Venerables under the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

Those Venerable are always protected by the sword aura of the Lord of Peace and Joy when they go out, so they are safe and sound. If they encounter a powerful enemy that they cannot defeat, they only need to shout, and the Lord of Peace and Joy's Golden Dragon Chariot will come to their aid in a grand procession, accompanied by his unique and extremely flamboyant background music.

This is why, for thousands of years, almost every Venerable in the Cosmic Galaxy Bank possessed an Ordinary Supreme Treasure. In the past, Ordinary Supreme Treasures...

However, only those at the level of Cosmic Overlords can barely possess it.

I'm so envious! I'm so envious!

Moreover, everyone gradually realized that with the strength of the Lord of Peace and Joy, a top-tier Universe Master, those Ordinary Supreme Treasures, or even High-grade Supreme Treasures, on the Primitive Star were completely meaningless to him.

This bigwig's launch of Resurrection Insurance and protection of bank Venerable is probably just a way to show off, enjoy the excitement, and revel in being praised!

This kind of good thing has happened before.

It is said that back then, the Chaos City Lord possessed three sixth-order avatars, who roamed freely across the Primitive Star and were unstoppable. The Venerable the Hong Alliance at that time also made a fortune by taking advantage of the Chaos City Lord's power.

But that was just a fleeting moment.

So everyone knew perfectly well that this might be their last chance to make a fortune and acquire Supreme Treasure.

Those Universe Master are all high and mighty, only occasionally paying attention to these "minor characters" when they have just broken through and are in a great mood.

Once the novelty wears off, who will remember them?

It's a pity that everyone is loyal to their own faction and bound by their own clans and powers, making it impossible to switch jobs to the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. They can only watch others become incredibly wealthy while feeling only envy and resentment.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

The only good news right now is that if you're lucky enough to encounter the Lord of Peace and Joy's procession passing by on the Primitive Star, simply shouting "Praise the Lord of Peace and Joy" might grant you a blessing from the powerful figure's sword energy, giving you an extra bit of life-saving power.

There are a total of 10,081 Primitive Stars. Although the Lord of Peace and Joy's journeys are always grand, encountering him is extremely difficult due to a very high degree of luck.

Many weaker Venerables might have been targeted by Alien Race Cosmic Overlords shortly after setting foot on the Primitive Star, without even having the chance to utter a single "Praise be to the Lord of Peace and Joy."

In particular, the Venerables of the Machine Race, Zerg, Monster Race, and Yan God Race have accumulated blood feuds with the Human Race for billions of years, and their encounters are always a fight to the death.

"Lord of Peace and Joy, we beg you to look upon us more closely!"

"Grant me a blessing of sword energy, even the weakest one will do!"

Listening to the heartfelt yearnings and cries of the Venerable around him, Tang Ping sat in the corner, lost in thought.

His avatars should continue to travel around the Primitive Star more often, at least visiting all 10,081 planets within a year. Otherwise, how can these Human Race Venerables bask in his glory and feel his blessings at any time?

Hehe~
