Within a certain plane of the Virtual Universe, a towering, magnificent palace, seemingly cast from divine gold, radiated a gentle yet majestic light.
Outside the palace lay an endless plaza amid a sea of clouds, dotted with countless floating jade platforms and tables. King-level Immortals from the Hongmeng Alliance's many races gathered there, including many figures rarely seen in ordinary times.
They chatted excitedly in small groups, their gazes occasionally drifting in awe toward the central palace, where the light shone brightest.
Inside the central palace, the atmosphere was even more solemn and exuberant.
Universe Venerables with auras as unfathomable as the sea conversed merrily, while other figures shone as brilliantly as stars-those were Universe Overlords!
Originally, King Lishuo had planned to hold the celebration at Hu Yanbo's residence, or at most in a larger courtyard belonging to a Hongmeng Alliance member on Purple Thorn Island, inviting a few familiar friends to enjoy themselves.
But plans could never keep pace with change.
News of the 79th Treasure, the First Treasure, his instantaneous enslavement of King Feijing, his combat strength rivaling a high-level Universe Venerable, and his indirect role in Venerable Pei Feng's death swept through the entire Primal Universe like a cosmic storm.
Not only was the Hongmeng Alliance abuzz with excitement, but many neutral races, and even some powers on reasonably good terms with the alliance, expressed their desire to attend and offer congratulations.
For a time, the number of people wishing to attend the celebration exploded exponentially, far beyond the capacity of any residence or conventional gathering venue.
Thus, King Lishuo had no choice but to apply to the Human Race's upper echelon through the Virtual Universe System for an independent plane dedicated to grand celebrations!
Now, countless King-level Immortals gathered in the cloud-sea plaza of this celebration
