The official membership level of the Hongmeng Alliance is determined by battle record; the stronger the battle record, the higher the level.
The small Star on Zhang Junbao's left arm represents a one-star level.
One-star level corresponds to the ordinary King Level, and all the powerful individuals who have just joined the Hongmeng Alliance are at this level.
Two-star level, equivalent to the Peak King;
Three stars, corresponding to the Peak King Rank;
Four stars represents the level of ordinary Universe Venerable, including some Invincible King, such as the True Yan King, who also possess a four-star rating.
Five stars signify High Venerable.
Six stars, equivalent to Universe Overlord.
As for the Seven Stars, they represent the initial level of Universe Master, and also include some Top Universe Overlord, such as the Tian Shi Palace Master, who is at this level.
Above that is the Palace Master level, which surpasses the seven-star level. These are usually top-tier powerhouses among the Universe Master, such as the Chaos City Lord!
Hongmeng City is divided into the Hong Alliance Hall, Inner City, and Outer City.
Those who reach the three-star level reside in the outer city, where over 3 million King-level Immortal from various races gather.
Four- to six-star beings reside in the inner city, which is almost entirely populated by Universe Venerable.
The most central building in the entire Hongmeng City, the Hong Alliance Hall, is a magnificent and mysterious palace tens of thousands of kilometers high, like a giant sword piercing the starry sky, awe-inspiring in all directions.
The Seven-Star level and the Hong Alliance Hall Master, these truly top-tier experts, reside here.
Each and every one of them, even with the slightest movement, is an unparalleled overlord capable of causing billions of races in the universe to tremble.
After learning about the situation of the Hongmeng Alliance, Zhang Junbao activated the teleportation from his manor.
After confirming his joining Hongmeng Alliance, he received a marker that allowed him to directly teleport to Hongmeng City, enabling him to enter the Hongmeng Alliance dimension at any time.
In the Star Shifting, we traverse virtual time and space.
Zhang Junbao descended upon the Hongmeng Alliance Plane. In the boundless and vast starry sky, surrounded by numerous Star, an ancient and majestic city floated in the center of the plane. This was Hongmeng City.
As he arrived, a Star in the endless starry sky above Hongmeng City burst forth with a ray of light, symbolizing Zhang Junbao's arrival.
With a flash of Flowing Light, he appeared in a living room.
The living room wasn't large, less than a thousand square meters. His figure was relatively small, so compared to those cosmic beings who were thousands of meters tall, the living room seemed quite cramped.
"Such a fragile body, it feels strangely familiar."
Zhang Junbao smiled.
"Master, according to the information sent by the Hongmeng City management system, this is a platform for all strong individuals to communicate, not a place to practice attacks."
Therefore, all the strong individuals maintain the physical fitness Apprentice Level.
"It's not just those who are King Rank; even Universe Venerable have such fragile bodies within Hongmeng City," Feitian explained.
"The only difference is the pressure of will. Therefore, as long as Universe Venerable deliberately conceals their pressure, even if someone standing in front of you is Universe Venerable, it's difficult to judge their strength from appearance alone!"
Zhang Junbao nodded, indicating his understanding. He wasn't here to fight in Hongmeng City, so physical fitness wasn't important at all.
"Residents of the outer city will be allocated in the form of residential compounds, and each residence within a compound will be the same, measuring 3,200 square meters."
"We're not here to live anyway, so size doesn't matter. Let's go, let's go out and take a look."
Zhang Junbao walked out of his residence and onto the street, carefully observing his surroundings.
He discovered that the life here was quite extraordinary. There were rock life forms made of piled-up boulders, Metal Lifeform that flowed like liquid metal, and even plant life forms with a grassland on their heads, lush and vibrant. The universe is truly vast and full of wonders.
"To make a living, you must have some green on your head? It seems this King Rank plant life really knows how to live!"
Zhang Junbao clicked his tongue in amazement. Although he had seen many Alien Race, this was the first time he had ever seen such a diverse range of Alien Race life forms.
Although Hongmeng City is predominantly human, the majority of the powerful figures who have been granted the King Rank are from Alien Race.
I looked up and saw Star twinkling in the endless sky.
He also knew that each Star on it represented a powerful figure within Hongmeng City.
Zhang Junbao saw a small square ahead, where groups of powerful individuals were gathered in twos and threes, many of them drinking wine and enjoying food while discussing various interesting events happening in the universe.
As he walked over, many people turned their attention to him.
"Hey bro, new here?"
"Never seen you before. Did you just join the Hongmeng Alliance?"
"We live in the same neighborhood, but in this vast universe, it's fate that we met. Want to come over for a drink?"
Many powerful individuals greeted him warmly.
Those who can come here are at least powerful figures who have been granted the King Rank. Without any conflict of interest, they would naturally be knowledgeable about human relationships and social customs.
At this moment, one of them suddenly stood up, his excitement mixed with a strange expression. "You are the Aurora King, the World Lord Zhang Junbao?"
A human genius who slew over a thousand King Rank experts on the Outer Domain Battlefield a century ago!
As soon as he finished speaking, the dozens of powerful King Rank around him were stunned. They immediately began to check the records about Zhang Junbao and the videos left over from the Outer Domain Battlefield, and instantly confirmed Zhang Junbao's identity.
The gazes of these powerful figures towards him immediately changed, showing a mixture of awe, shock, greed, and even a hint of hatred, reflecting their varied emotions.
"Hahaha!" At this moment, one of them walked over laughing and said, "This is the top genius of my Human Race! Zhang Junbao, it's an honor to finally meet you!"
To slay over a thousand King Rank at the World Lord level is a feat that shook the universe! Even Invincible King might not have such an achievement. No wonder you were invited by the Hongmeng Alliance.
I am the Wind Controlling King, also Human Race. Let's get closer in the future!
Zhang Junbao glanced at him. This Wind Controlling King had three Star on his arm guard, which meant he was a three-star King Rank, Peak King Rank expert at the limit.
Based on Zhang Junbao's battle record, he was fully capable of obtaining a three-star rating. However, Hongmeng City stipulates that all newly joined powerhouses are only given a one-star rating. To obtain a higher rating and authorization, he can only gradually build up his battle record.
After all, not everyone who joins the Hongmeng Alliance is like Zhang Junbao, possessing strength and achievements far exceeding their own level.
Wind Controlling King was tall and strong, with a very hearty smile.
"Come on, let me introduce you to some friends. They're all eager to meet a genius like you!"
Zhang Junbao did not deny it, but nodded and accepted it gladly.
"Very well, I would also like to get to know the King Rank powerhouse of my Human Faction, Wind Controlling King, please!"
As they chatted and laughed, they invited each other to visit a friend.
Just as they were about to leave, they were blocked by a powerful King Rank expert. The King Rank blocking their way was eight meters tall, with an extremely large divine body. His exposed body had rock-like patterns, and his eyes burned with raging flames.
" Rock Fire King, is there something you need?" Wind Controlling King asked, his expression somewhat displeased.
"Get out of my way! I'm looking for him!" Rock Fire King stared at Zhang Junbao, flames flickering in his eyes. "You killed my friend, do you think you can just walk away?"
"Your friend?" Zhang Junbao's smile turned slightly cold. He hadn't expected that someone seeking revenge would arrive so soon after he arrived in Hongmeng City, before he had even made many friends.
The surrounding powerful figures, all holding the King Rank, exchanged strange glances. Some were gloating, while others were indifferent, ready to watch the show unfold.
Wind Controlling King's expression was unfriendly. Zhang Junbao had accepted his invitation, making him his guest. Now that Rock Fire King had come to cause trouble, it was clear that he was not giving King Yufeng any face.
He gave a cold laugh and transmitted his voice to Zhang Junbao: "He is Hellfire Clan, Peak King Rank expert. A hundred years ago, one of his clansmen, who was also his friend, was one of the thousands of King Rank you killed!"
Zhang Junbao received the telepathic message and understood immediately.
The Hellfire Clan belongs to the rock-type life forms. These life forms are characterized by their innate strength and defense, but they are not very intelligent.
Many rock life forms are based on a single meridian.
Zhang Junbao thanked Wind Controlling King, but his gaze toward Rock Fire King grew increasingly cold. "Your friend? You mean one of the King Rank who surrounded and killed me?"
A bunch of petty scoundrels, killing them is fine."
"Hmph!" Rock Fire King sneered, "As expected of a top genius of the Human Race, a mere World Lord, yet so arrogant."
You slew over a thousand King Rank, relying on the Heavy Treasure, even Supreme Treasure, bestowed upon you by the Human Race!
You already possessed powerful material defense Heavy Treasure, soul defense Heavy Treasure, and a Domain-type Supreme Treasure. Plus, you had a stroke of luck in the Outer Domain Battlefield, obtaining a Supreme Treasure Weapon. Otherwise, how could World Lord have so easily killed so many King Rank?
Even as the disciple of the Chaos City Lord, the human elites have shown you far too much favoritism. To bestow so many treasures upon someone at the World Lord level, including more than one Supreme Treasure!
It might even Supreme Treasure Palace treasures; otherwise, how could you remain so calm when facing an attack from thousands of King Rank?
Relying on numerous treasures to slaughter Immortal King Rank, they can only cower in fear in the human Chaos City now!
"Alas, the universe is unfair! A mere World Lord possesses such a terrifying opportunity; he is undoubtedly a prodigy with immense fortune!"
"Hmph, with so many treasures, if I had them, I could kill countless King Rank!"
"His entire arsenal, just the Heavy Treasure alone, is worth at least tens of trillions of Hunyuan Unit, not to mention the two Supreme Treasure he possesses!"
"Heavens! The wealth of us King Rank experts is actually less than that of a mere World Lord! This is outrageous!"
" Zhang Junbao, to be honest, I'm extremely jealous of you now! You killed my friend, you owe me an explanation!"
Witness this, everyone!
After speaking, the Rock Fire King sat down on the ground, his fiery eyes flickering.
His words thoroughly stirred up the restless hearts of some of the powerful figures around him.
The way they looked at Zhang Junbao was as if they were looking at a pile of Supreme Treasure.
The same thought arose in their minds: how could Zhang Junbao, a World Lord, possess such a treasure?
Give the Rock Fire King an explanation? What explanation?
That would naturally mean handing over one's own treasures!
" Rock Fire King, you are truly vicious!" Wind Controlling King said coldly, "On the Outer Domain Battlefield, when your people saw Zhang Junbao being surrounded and killed by Alien Race, instead of helping him, they took advantage of his misfortune and tried to rob him while he was down."
He was killed, and you still have the nerve to speak up for him and demand justice?
Today you've gone even further, making baseless speculations and falsely claiming Zhang Junbao possesses Palace-type Supreme Treasure to sow discord. Do you think the other powerful figures present can't see through your intentions?
They simply want to make them enemies of the Human Race!
"Am I wrong?" Rock Fire King sneered, "The spoils of war from over a thousand King Rank experts are worth at least tens of trillions of Hunyuan Unit!"
He single-handedly slaughtered over a thousand King Rank, and faced their combined attack with ease. Did he not possess a series of Supreme Treasure?
A World Lord fighting against the combined attack of thousands of King Rank on his own? Wind Controlling King, do you believe it? Can you do it?
"To withstand the combined attack of thousands of King Rank, there must be some unknown Supreme Treasure still existing. Although this is just speculation, it makes perfect sense!"
"We Immortal beings of subordinate races have to go through endless battles to obtain even a Heavy Treasure, yet the human elite bestow Heavy Treasure, even Supreme Treasure, upon a World Lord."
Alas, it's just that we're not Human Race!
Rock Fire King's strategic retreat resonated with many surrounding vassal races, prompting them to also declare King Rank. Although the Hongmeng Alliance was primarily composed of Human Race, the combined number of other races who had been granted the title of King-level Immortal was several times that of the Human Race.
At this moment, some of the surrounding King Rank looked at Zhang Junbao with a hint of hostility. They had fought hard against countless enemies, but Zhang Junbao easily possessed a pile of treasures. It was unfair!
Greed and jealousy were gradually stirred up from the depths of the Rock Fire King's heart.
Zhang Junbao raised an eyebrow, looked at the Rock Fire King, and thought to himself, "Who says rock-type life forms are simple and without guile? The Rock Fire King in front of me may seem simple-minded, but in reality, he is very meticulous."
They knew how to amplify other people's desires and pretend to be a vulnerable group, pushing me to the opposite side of all those who wanted to King Rank from Alien Race.
They're even stirring up their resentment towards Human Race —that's interesting!
Within the Hongmeng Alliance, Human Race, while other subordinate races are not necessarily all satisfied. Over time, some weaker races naturally harbor resentment towards Human Race.
The Rock Fire King took advantage of this to stir up everyone's emotions. Even some Human Race King Rank harbored resentment towards Zhang Junbao.
As powerful figures who had been granted the King Rank, they didn't possess many Heavy Treasure. Zhang Junbao, as a World Lord, not only had Heavy Treasure but also Supreme Treasure. How could they possibly find peace with that?
Wind Controlling King wanted to argue, but Zhang Junbao waved his hand and laughed, "According to you, because the Human Race is powerful, all the treasures obtained by Human Race powerhouses should be shared with you?"
That calculation still isn't fair.
How about this: all beings stronger than you, the Rock Fire King, will share any treasures they obtain in the future with you, how about that?
It's truly unfair that our Human Race is so powerful while your Hellfire Clan is so weak.
I will propose to the Chaos City Lord that from now on, all treasures obtained by powerful Human Race should be shared equally among your Hellfire Clan. Not only Human Race, but any other race stronger than your Hellfire Clan should also share their treasures with you. That's fair, isn't it?
We are all members of the Hongmeng Alliance, a loving family. Rock Fire King, are you satisfied with this compensation?
Zhang Junbao smiled as he looked at Rock Fire King, but Rock Fire King opposite him could no longer sit still, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
He wouldn't dare accept even a fraction of the treasures possessed by all the powerful humans! Even if Zhang Junbao dared to offer them, he wouldn't dare take them! So many treasures were simply beyond the capacity of his Hellfire Clan to protect; it would only bring him annihilation.
"Hahaha, you're right, I agree! We will definitely suggest to the Human Race's higher-ups that all the treasures be sent to your Hellfire Clan as compensation!"
Although I am not Invincible King, I do possess a few treasures. Rock Fire King, which one do you fancy? Tell me! Wind Controlling King understood Zhang Junbao's meaning and laughed as he spoke.
"Count me in!" Luo Feng walked over from a distance. He had received the message after Zhang Junbao joined the Hongmeng Alliance and quickly came to Zhang Junbao's side. His gaze toward the Rock Fire King grew even colder.
"If you feel their treasures aren't enough, I also have a few treasures; how about I give them all to you? If that's still not enough, what do you think of the Chaos City Lord's Thousand Treasure River? Would it meet your standards? Would I have to compensate you for that too?"
"I... you..."
At this moment, the Rock Fire King's eyes were filled with fear, and he was speechless. He originally thought that Zhang Junbao would threaten him with force, and that he only needed to continue to pretend to be weak to gain the sympathy of more powerful members of the subordinate clans.
But to everyone's surprise, Zhang Junbao was actually willing to pay compensation.
But would he dare accept such compensation?
This isn't compensation; it's practically a death warrant for his Hellfire Clan!
