The Ganwu Kingdom Master Who Knows How to Be a Person (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Ganwu Imperial City.

"Someone's flying?!"

"Heavens, who dares to fly over the imperial city?!"

"What's so strange about that? Haven't you noticed the giant at the front is the Thirteenth Divine General?"

This ancient imperial city had inexplicably grown lively today. Countless residents gazed at the high sky, discussing what manner of person would dare to fly over the Ganwu Imperial City.

The flight ban over the Ganwu Imperial City was far stricter than that of Qiongyu Star.

Most military lord immortals, like the Divine Lord of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, wouldn't dare to fly here at all. Even among the three hundred marquises, only a few were qualified to fly into the imperial city.

Whoosh!

Zhang Dong and his group flew straight into the cluster of palaces, entering the most majestic main hall. The escort team members weren't qualified to enter, so they stood respectfully outside.

Only Zhang Dong, the Thirteenth Divine General, and Gao Li had the right to meet the Ganwu Kingdom Master.

"Greetings, Kingdom Master!"

"Greetings, Kingdom Master!"

All three called out respectfully. Gao Li prostrated himself on the ground in a grand bow, while Zhang Dong and the Thirteenth Divine General merely bowed slightly to show respect.

Deep within the hall, on the massive throne, sat a figure of boundless splendor.

He wore a purple-gold robe, and his eyes seemed to contain an infinite universe. The aura of one long seated in power radiated outward, stirring a deep urge to submit from the bottom of one's heart.

This was the Ganwu Kingdom Master.

The existence who had founded a cosmic kingdom and ruled over countless beings for eons.

"Rise." The Ganwu Kingdom Master's voice was steady, betraying no emotion. As his words fell, an inexplicable force lifted Gao Li's body firmly.

"Thank you, Kingdom Master." Gao Li's heart trembled. Though he served in the Virtual Universe Company, his superior was only a King-level Immortal, and he rarely dealt with Cosmic Venerables.

He had once served as the captain of the guard for the Primordial Realm's Highness, visiting a few cosmic kingdoms.

But which cosmic kingdom master would bother meeting a Domain Lord-level little fellow? Zhang Dong's immense face made Gao Li realize he needed to be even more diligent and cling tightly to this powerful connection.

"Such a genius—how did he lose in the Genius War and end up in my Ganwu Secret Realm?"

The Ganwu Kingdom Master studied Zhang Dong carefully.

At the Cosmic Level, he had already become a disciple of the Dark Marquis Lord—a fortune that countless Cosmic Venerables begged for in vain.

Zhang Dong spoke first: "Kingdom Master, my teacher told me that you have granted me permission to reside on the Imperial Capital Star and prepared a palace for me. I am truly grateful."

"No need for such courtesy." The Ganwu Kingdom Master's attitude toward Zhang Dong was much warmer, even carrying a hint of kindness, as if toward his own junior: "You are a genius who emerged from my Ganwu Secret Realm. This is only right."

Only right?

How many geniuses had emerged from the Ganwu Secret Realm? Quite a few had entered the Virtual Universe Company, yet the Ganwu Kingdom Master could barely recall a handful of names.

The Thirteenth Divine General was also secretly shocked. The Ganwu Kingdom Master was being so courteous.

"You may withdraw. I have some words to speak with Zhang Dong alone." The Ganwu Kingdom Master waved his hand, signaling the Thirteenth Divine General and Gao Li to leave first.

Some matters involved secrets and were not suitable for discussion in front of two Immortal Gods.

"Yes."

The Thirteenth Divine General and Gao Li bowed and withdrew, waiting outside the hall.

The news of Zhang Dong's apprenticeship to a Universe Master was still a secret for now, to be made public only when he had enough strength.

"Your situation is unknown to anyone in truth, but the more mysterious you appear to the alien races, the greater the threat." The Ganwu Kingdom Master said directly: "So be cautious. Aside from when you carry out missions, staying on the Imperial Capital Star during ordinary times puts my mind at ease."

The Ganwu Kingdom Master himself rarely stayed on the Imperial Capital Star.

He had only returned specially to spend some time here for Zhang Dong's sake. Such a genius—how long could he remain at the Domain Lord Level? At most tens of thousands of years before advancing to Realm Lord.

Zhang Dong thanked him: "The Kingdom Master has been thoughtful. I am deeply grateful."

Between the several peak races, assassinations of each other's geniuses were all too common. The more monstrous the talent, the more specifically they were targeted.

Ke Di had been meticulously designed and killed, and not even reversing spacetime could revive him.

News of Zhang Dong had already spread to the various alien races. He didn't yet know that he had now replaced other geniuses at the top of the assassination rankings of the Zerg, Demon Race, and Mechanical Race.

All three peak races had ranked him first simultaneously.

If they had the chance, they would even send King-level Immortals to eliminate Zhang Dong—but it had to be through soul enslavement; otherwise, reversing spacetime could revive him.

Without overwhelming certainty, the three peak races would not make a move.

"If you have any questions about your cultivation, you can come and ask me anytime." The Ganwu Kingdom Master had already decided that Zhang Dong was the most worthwhile investment of his endless years.

He didn't dare hope for too much—if Zhang Dong could one day become a Cosmic Overlord, giving him some treasure points to repay the debts to his good friend would be enough. As for the race's debts, there was no rush; owing was still owing.

The human race had a vast family fortune—how could they haggle with him?

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with the Ganwu Kingdom Master, Zhang Dong bowed and took his leave, exiting the palace.

In the small garden outside the hall, besides Gao Li and the Thirteenth Divine General, three figures stood, radiating vast immortal divine power.

The two at the front were both wolf-like in appearance, and there was also a bald man in a blue robe.

As Zhang Dong emerged, the three immediately stepped forward, smiling. "Zhang Dong, why didn't you give us a heads-up before coming to the Ganwu Universe Kingdom?"

Clearly, these three were the current trinity of the Virtual Universe Company's branch.

The positions of the three top executives were held by Marquis-level Immortals, with terms that weren't indefinite—after a period, they would rotate.

This post carried enormous vested interests, and the entanglements behind it were far too complex.

The Thirteenth Divine General interjected, "Let me introduce you: Huajin Marquis, Tianchong Marquis, and Heiyun Marquis."

"Greetings." Zhang Dong had nothing to say to these three big shots and cut straight to the point: "I have no interest in your affairs. Let's just keep things peaceful between us."

Whatever he wanted to do in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom, he didn't need their approval.

As for the petty corruption behind these three executives, Zhang Dong couldn't be bothered to meddle. As Luo Feng said, when the water is too clear, there are no fish.

Those who could hold the position of branch executive—how clean could their hands really be?

In Zhang Dong's view, dirty hands were a minor issue; the real crime was sitting in that seat and doing nothing.

"Why so blunt?"

The bald man, Tianchong Marquis, frowned slightly but quickly smiled again. "What talk is that? We came specially to welcome you and host a reception in your honor."

"Yes, indeed. Zhang Dong, you're a peerless genius—we've long admired you," the wolf-man Heiyun Marquis chimed in.

"No need." Zhang Dong waved his hand in refusal.

In terms of strength, he completely crushed these three executives. Behind him stood the Dark Marquis Lord and the Ganwu Kingdom Master—why waste time on them? As long as they didn't interfere with each other, that was enough.
