Mastering the War God Palace

The moment Liu Yun put on the helmet, a slight electric sensation brushed against his scalp. Immediately after, the surrounding scenery began to twist and blur, eventually transforming into a brilliant starry sky. As the light gradually faded, Liu Yun found himself standing within a magnificent virtual space—the War God Palace.

"What a massive space!" Liu Yun couldn't help but whisper in admiration. Before him lay a vast, boundless virtual realm; towering palaces and scattered pavilions appeared and disappeared amidst the clouds, as if it were a celestial palace suspended in the air. He looked around, seeing all sorts of exotic vegetation, flowing springs, and stars in the distance that seemed close enough to touch, creating a truly breathtaking scene.

"Welcome, War God Liu Yun." A gentle yet majestic electronic voice rang in Liu Yun's ears, interrupting his thoughts. He turned his head to look, but could not find the source of the voice; it felt as if the sound came from the entire space, yet was directed solely at him.

Soon, he descended into a room. The grand palace realm was no longer visible, and he heard the voice from the virtual space once more.

"This is your private space within the War God Palace. No one can enter except for you," the electronic voice continued to explain. "Here, you can enjoy all the conveniences and resources provided by the War God Palace. Whether it is gourmet food, cultivation manuals, or exchanging pointers with other War Gods, the doors are open to you."

Upon hearing this, a surge of inexplicable excitement welled up in Liu Yun's heart. He looked around his private space, noting that it, too, had been meticulously designed—spacious, bright, and logically laid out. In the center sat a huge circular cultivation platform, with various training equipment arranged around it.

"According to your records, there are two books: one is the War God Palace Regulations, and the other is the complete Nine-Fold Thunder Blade. I wish you greater progress in the War God Palace."

After the electronic voice finished saying this, it vanished completely, never to appear again.

However, Liu Yun was in no rush to flip through the manuals. He gently stroked the crystal ball hanging in front of his chest, thinking that his Machine Race Clone could indeed follow him into the virtual space.

The Machine Race Clone possessed powerful hacking capabilities, capable of infiltrating and controlling any system within the virtual space. He thought to himself, Since I've arrived here, I might as well give the War God Palace a 'friendly' greeting first.

Thus, Liu Yun silently activated the hacking program within the crystal ball, scanning and attempting to infiltrate the War God Palace's virtual system once again.

Because he had already conquered the entire War God Palace system previously, there were no obstacles at all; the permissions of the War God Palace were completely open to him.

It could be said that if he needed to, he was the god of this place—whether it be the space here or the time! Everything was under his control; he could force someone to log off at any moment, and they would be completely helpless.

Even more terrifying was that, because Liu Yun was a Psychic, he didn't just control objects from a distance to kill enemies—though that was the skill he used most often. A Psychic could also launch mental attacks; it was somewhat like the ability to possess others, capable of infiltrating an enemy's consciousness, and was also used for beast taming.

If necessary, I can use the mental link of the War God Palace to kill without a trace!

Liu Yun made up his mind. If he were to encounter Li Yao and his wife in the future, he could easily use this move to eliminate them. As long as his Psychic Power was strong enough, he could kill without leaving a trace.

He stood before the desk and gently opened the black-covered book, the War God Palace Regulations. Unexpectedly, there was only a single piece of paper tucked inside.

"Welcome to your official membership in the War God Palace."

"The War God Palace was founded by our two most outstanding leaders—the First Speaker, Hong, and the Second Speaker, Thunder God. It is the sacred temple in the hearts of all martial artists on Earth, gathering all War Gods and powerhouses who have surpassed the War God realm. Here, every member is an indispensable part of the War God Palace."

"The core of the War God Palace's management, the 'War God Palace Council,' has extremely strict membership requirements. Only those powerhouses who have surpassed the War God realm can become members of the council."

"Within the council, there are five supreme Speaker seats, from the First Speaker to the Fifth Speaker. They are not only the leaders of the council but also the five top martial artists on Earth, representing the pinnacle of human martial arts."

"In short, the status system within the War God Palace is clear and distinct, divided into three levels: ordinary members, council members, and Speakers."

"Furthermore, the War God Palace holds abundant resources and functions, such as the 'Mall' for you to purchase what you need, the 'Auction Hall' where you have the chance to bid for rare treasures, the 'Arena Plaza' as a stage to showcase your martial prowess, and the 'Trial Tower' as an excellent place to hone your will and improve your strength... All of this awaits your personal exploration and discovery!"

Although the information on this paper was brief, it summarized the main functions of the War God Palace. All War Gods gathered here, and this was also a rare first opportunity for social interaction.

Only those with sufficient strength were worth a War God's time, and friendships between War Gods would quickly translate into mutual benefits. Even Liu Yun was deeply moved by this point.

War Gods were the most elite group in current human society and the people who held the most privileges; they formed the pinnacle of the human social pyramid.

He also wanted to meet a few capable people and form a high-level squad, as that would make handling future matters much more convenient. The speed of his base's upgrades would inevitably increase significantly, so Liu Yun was looking forward to making a few new friends.

Therefore, he pushed open the door and walked outside the War God Palace. The palace was divided into several levels; he needed to walk down slowly to reach the main hall. Just as he was on the steps, an unexpected change occurred.

A beam of soft light suddenly appeared, gently falling upon Liu Yun below. The entire War God Palace could see Liu Yun's figure.

"The War God Palace gloriously welcomes its newest War God, whose name shall ring through the heavens—Liu Yun!"

The voice was deep and powerful, like a god descending from the nine heavens, filled with majesty and solemnity.

As the echoes of the voice lingered, a three-dimensional virtual projection slowly unfolded above the dome of the hall. Engraved upon it in vivid, three-dimensional characters were: —Name: Liu Yun, Nationality: Huaxia Nation, Rank: War God level (Intermediate). These three lines of text, like meticulously carved stone, floated in mid-air, shining brilliantly.

"From this moment on, the number of War Gods in human society has climbed once again, reaching an unprecedented 3,516!" The thunderous voice continued to reverberate in every corner of the hall. At the same time, on the giant display screen on the hall wall, the number "3,515" that had been displayed was pushed by an invisible force, instantly jumping to "3,516."

Under the shroud of this radiance, Liu Yun slowly walked into the hall. His information was being fiercely discussed by everyone; people were wondering why this War God was so young. Youth was also a form of capital, one that could easily spark envy in others.

He had intended to find some new friends, but someone was already plotting against him.

"This is our man! An intermediate War God of our HR Alliance! All of you, move aside!"

Glinda, like a lingering ghost, trotted over and drove away several War Gods who were eager to approach. Liu Yun looked at her and felt his head throb. Should he make bugs grow on this person's helmet and force her to log off?

From the very beginning until now, although Glinda was shocked by Liu Yun's strength, she hadn't offered any benefits in exchange, only thinking about making Liu Yun work for her. Liu Yun had no desire to deal with this stingy boss.
