The Dissatisfied Venerable
With such a record, it's hard not to attract attention.
But achievements are achievements, and status is status.
King Rank is, in the end, just being King Rank.
And they are the Universe Venerable.
The gap between them is like an insurmountable chasm.
In an ancient palace, several Venerable sat together, with fine wine and delicacies floating before them.
This was their usual gathering, but today the conversation revolved around the newcomer's name.
" Silver Sword King?" A burly Venerable sneered, picked up his wine cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Why should someone who has been granted the King Rank live halfway up a mountain?"
"I heard he killed over a hundred King Rank on the Outer Battlefield, a truly astonishing feat," another Venerable said slowly, his tone tinged with reservation.
"So what?" The burly Venerable put down his wine cup, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
" King Rank is King Rank. Even if you kill many more King Rank, they are still King Rank. Which of us didn't start as King Rank?"
"Aren't we clear about the difference between King Rank and Venerable?"
Everyone fell silent.
They certainly knew that.
Even if one is Invincible King Undying, their World Lord Power.
Even the weakest Universe Venerable has World Lord Power.
In reality, very few Venerable remain at the level of tens of millions of times; most are at least one hundred million times the World Lord Power.
This is a difference in the essence of divine bodies.
Beyond divine power, the difference in their Law Comprehension is even greater.
Those Undying King Rank mostly specialize in the Time Law.
Even the Universe Venerable have at least comprehended one higher-level Laws and have already ventured into another higher-level Laws.
In addition, there's the difference in the depth of the secret techniques----
It is perfectly normal for the difference in strength between King Rank and Venerable to be thousands of times or more.
Therefore, even those who achieved the legendary status of Barking Mirror King and King Rank Chasing Bug King, whose fame resounded throughout the universe, relied on their extraordinary Innate Secret Technique to attain their titles.
It can defeat some ordinary Universe Venerable.
Their strength stems from their Special Lifeform form; they are exceptional cases, special cases, and unrepeatable miracles.
And the Silver Sword King?
An ordinary human being.
They lack Special Lifeform -Innate Secret Technique and the innate advantages of a heaven-defying bloodline.
Why should we be on equal footing with them?
"Perhaps he has other reasons?" another Venerable probed.
"I heard that the Chaos City Lord personally arranged for him to reside on the mountainside—"
" The Chaos City Lord is a pillar of our Human Race, and has made immeasurable contributions to our people! But we are talking about the Silver Sword King." The burly Venerable sneered.
"Without the strength of Venerable, what right do they have to occupy the position of Venerable?"
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
"Which of us hasn't lived for countless years?"
My loved ones have long since grown old and passed away; in this long life, all that remains is the pursuit of becoming a strong person.
He has cultivated himself for countless years to achieve his current status. What right does this newly appointed King Rank have?"
Everyone nodded.
These words struck a chord with them.
When family ties are gone, what remains in the long journey of life is the glory of one's community and oneself.
They are willing to die for their people.
They would die for glory.
And status is part of glory.
What right does someone King Rank have to be on equal footing with them?
"Since the Chaos City Lord personally made the arrangements, we naturally cannot say anything," another Venerable said slowly, his tone carrying a profound meaning.
"But whether he can gain a foothold on the mountainside depends on himself."
The group exchanged glances, understanding each other without saying a word.
Those with real power naturally have the right to stand on equal footing with these Venerable, but if they want to rely on their status as the Chaos City Lord—
Well, they can't really say anything, but it all depends on whether the Silver Sword King can stand it any longer.
However, what they didn't know was that the Silver Sword King Heye was none other than Qin Ming.
Qin Ming, at the World Lord Level, created four Ultimate Secret Technique.
The final move, " Annihilation Returning to the Ruins Slash," has reached the level of the Strongest Secret Technique, a height that even some veteran Universe Master have not yet achieved.
For example, the Yan Emperor, who once betrayed the Humanity, broke through to the level of the Universe Master a long time ago, but has not yet comprehended the Strongest Secret Technique.
Qin Ming's understanding of the Space-Time Law has reached an incredible level.
If he weren't currently only King Rank with a relatively weak divine body, his strength could even surpass those top Universe Overlord.
Unfortunately, this information was Blockade by the Chaos City Lord.
Those who are not qualified cannot see the complete footage of that war.
In the eyes of these Venerable, the Silver Sword King was merely a lucky King Rank, a junior who climbed to a position that did not belong to him by virtue of his connection with the Chaos City Lord.
Qin Ming was unaware of these things.
Even if he knew, he would only smile calmly.
Time will tell.
At this moment, Qin Ming had returned to his original appearance.
He was no longer the ruthless Silver Sword King, but a young man with delicate features and a gentle temperament.
He stood in the void, looking down at the familiar planet below.
Lanfeng Planet.
His hometown.
Centuries have passed, yet this place remains unchanged.
Qin Ming is back.
He didn't notify anyone beforehand, and standing at his own door, the guards couldn't even spot him.
As his gaze swept over the familiar scenery, a hint of tenderness flashed in Qin Ming's eyes.
No matter how far you go, home is always home.
He pushed the door open and entered.
"Dad, Mom."
In the courtyard, Qin Ming's parents were chatting around a stone table.
Upon hearing the voice, the two looked up at the same time and saw the familiar figure. They were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes welled up with uncontrollable joy.
"Tomorrow!"
Qin's mother suddenly stood up, strode forward, and grabbed Qin Ming's hand.
Her hands trembled slightly, and tears welled in her eyes. "You child, you've been gone for hundreds of years, and you haven't even come back to visit—"
Qin Ming felt a warmth in his heart and gently took his mother's hand. "Mom, I'm back."
Qin's father also stood up, walked over to Qin Ming, and looked him up and down. His face was full of a relieved smile, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
The three sat down and chatted on and on about their experiences over the years.
Qin Ming picked out the things he could talk about, avoiding the dangerous battles, and only recounted interesting anecdotes.
The parents listened intently, their expressions shifting from amazement to worry to relief.
After chatting for a while, Qin Ming asked, "Where are my older sister and the others?"
Mother Qin sighed, "Your eldest sister is now in charge of the Qin Family's finances, she's constantly busy. Your second brother assists her, and he rarely has a moment to relax either. As for Xiaoxue—"
She paused, then continued, "She became the disciple of the Lord Qianwu, and now, like you, she rarely returns home."
Qin Ming nodded.
That's not surprising.
The eldest sister, Qin Lan, has been shrewd and capable since childhood, making her perfectly suited to take charge of the Qin Family's economic lifeline.
Although the second brother, Qin Shou, has an unremarkable name, he is steady and reliable, and he makes the best use of his talents to assist the eldest sister.
As for the younger sister Qin Xue, the Lord Qianwu only accepted her because of his reputation.
Qin Ming smiled slightly, "It's a good thing that my little sister can receive guidance from Brother Qianwu."
Qin's mother nodded, but then sighed, "We're just too busy, so we only meet occasionally in the Virtual Universe."
Qin Ming remained silent!
