The Initial Universe.
Outside the Star Illusion King Mansion.
Star Illusion King showed a hint of surprise upon seeing the unexpected guest.
Although they were both King Rank, she wasn't really familiar with the Black Mist King. This was mainly because the Black Mist King was much stronger than her. In their early years, they had been in higher-level combat zones in the Outer Domain Battlefield, so they hadn't had much interaction.
"I have come by the command of the Lord of Myriad Laws."
The Black Mist King spoke first.
Upon hearing this, Star Illusion King felt a jolt of surprise. How had the Lord of Myriad Laws taken notice of her?
Could it be that the Lord of Myriad Laws already knows she plans to profit from the Myriad Laws Chaos Stele?
Star Illusion King a little guilty.
She asked cautiously.
" Black Mist King, what are your orders, Great Lord of Myriad Laws?"
" The Lord of Myriad Laws instructed me to give this to you!"
As they spoke, the Void Crystal marked with the image of Space Strangulation flew towards Star Illusion King.
Star Illusion King raised his hand and caught it.
" Star Illusion King!" the Black Mist King reminded him, "Although you are not a member of the Virtual Universe Company, you are a grandmaster of the Myriad Laws Lineage, and can be considered a subordinate of the Lord of Myriad Laws. Do your job well, Lord of Myriad Laws will not mistreat anyone who works for him."
"Thank you, Black Mist King!"
Star Illusion King thanked him profusely.
Only after the Black Mist King left did she take out the crystal to examine it.
"What is this? Why would the Lord of Myriad Laws give it to me?"
Star Illusion King was somewhat confused.
Her consciousness entered into it.
Then, the incredibly clear spatial Law Secret Patterns were observed—this was— Space Strangulation!
Star Illusion King revealed a look of ecstatic joy.
Of the three branches of the Law of Space, the only one she currently lacks is Space Strangulation, and this crystal contains the complete content of Space Strangulation.
This incredibly clear path is even simpler than comprehending the Myriad Laws Chaos Stele. With such a treasure, she estimates that it won't be long before she can fully comprehend the Space Strangulation! At that time, her strength will be able to increase even further.
" The Lord of Myriad Laws is a good person!"
Star Illusion King sighed inwardly once more.
Although she didn't know why the Lord of Myriad Laws treated her so well, it was clear that the thoughts of such a great being were beyond her comprehension.
"I've heard that the Lord of Myriad Laws became the Universe Master in just over a dozen epochs, and he treats his subordinates so well—perhaps switching to the Myriad Laws Lineage was the right choice!"
Star Illusion King secretly wondered to himself.
Suddenly, Star Illusion King received an email and beamed with joy.
"I knew it! My choice was definitely right; there's bound to be a business opportunity here!"
On a beautiful island in the distant Lanting Universe Country, in the Lanting Mystic Region.
Two figures stood in the middle of the lake, admiring the beautiful scenery around them.
One was a man dressed in a magnificent purple robe, exuding the majesty of a superior; the other was a petite woman with an ordinary appearance, but whose eyes held the arrogance of a genius.
The woman spoke first, "Ancestor, why did you choose Star Illusion Master as my mentor? I study the Space Strangulation technique, while Star Illusion King is most proficient in Space Teleportation and Space Lockdown. Is it simply because she is the first Grandmaster of the Myriad Laws Lineage to be granted the title of King Rank?"
"That's right!"
The man in the magnificent purple robe nodded.
"You've just broken through to the World Lord Level and are about to go to the Initial Universe for Myriad Laws Lineage Myriad Laws Chaos Stele will be of greater help to you than other Chaos Stele. The Star Illusion King has a good relationship with that person's disciple, Luo Feng, and was the first Grandmaster to join the Myriad Laws Lineage. Perhaps he has some connection with that person—as for Law Comprehension, although you follow the Space Strangulation lineage, the Star Illusion King is a veteran Peak King and must have some understanding of Space Strangulation, which should be enough for him to teach you—if all else fails, I, your ancestor, can personally guide you!"
"But just for such a vague idea, you—" The woman still didn't quite understand. In her mind, Star Illusion King wasn't the best candidate for a mentor. She needed Peak King had fully comprehended the Space Strangulation to be her mentor.
The reward paid by her ancestors was enough to allow her to choose from many King Rank had mastered the Space Strangulation Technique!
"Stupid!" The man frowned slightly, his tone becoming more serious. "Do you remember the two ironclad rules that geniuses in our Lanting Mystic Region Realm must follow?"
"I understand." The woman nodded quickly and said, "First, never underestimate anyone. Second, never hide your strength when you need to demonstrate it."
"Since you know this, why disobey? You are now underestimating a Peak King."
The man in purple robes shook his head slightly, and then he continued.
"Remember that idiot Long Yun? You were in the same year back then, you should remember him—he was so foolish. He deliberately hid his strength during the Genius Battle. Even though it was the most intense year, with his strength, he should have been able to easily enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm. Instead, he was eliminated and sent to the Apocalypse Mystic Region. One step behind led to another, and now he's still struggling in the Apocalypse Mystic Region. I can understand him, after all, back then, these two ironclad rules didn't exist—"
The woman's face was slightly pale.
She was well aware that these two ironclad rules were added to their Lanting Mystic Region after Long Yun was eliminated.
The ancestor brought out Long Yun, clearly indicating some dissatisfaction with him, and was now deliberately warning her.
"Although you are my most prized descendant, you must not underestimate anyone, especially since she is a Grandmaster who has been granted the King Rank. You must treat her with the utmost respect and courtesy, without the slightest negligence."
"Yes, I understand."
The woman dared not say anything more.
"Okay, go down."
The man waved his hand.
"Just now, the Black Mist King, a subordinate of the Lord of Myriad Laws, actually sent an item to the Star Illusion King. Could it be that the Lord of Myriad Laws is indeed paying attention to the Star Illusion King? If so, then spending those 5 billion Hunyuan Unit was definitely worthwhile! Although Luo Li said this in front of me, she is a smart person and knows what she should do."
The Lanting Universe Lord looked at the message he had just received and pondered it inwardly.
What kind of being is the Lord of Myriad Laws?
As Elder Gu Universe Venerable, the Lanting Universe Lord knew this better than anyone else.
He couldn't speak to the Lord of Myriad Laws, but he could befriend people related to the Lord of Myriad Laws, so that little bit of effort was nothing.
Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, Mainland China.
The Lord of Myriad Laws, whom countless powerful beings of the Human Race aspire to serve, is still leisurely sipping his wine.
After finishing his glass of wine, he put it down and looked to the side.
A black shadow appeared silently and bowed to Lu Qingshan: "Greetings, Lord of Myriad Laws."
--
" Shadow Lord, you said you had something to discuss with me. What is it?"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and gestured for the other person to sit down.
" Lord of Myriad Laws— " The Shadow Lord sat down only after receiving permission, and then asked, "May I ask, has King Anju, the subordinate of the Lord of Myriad Laws, broken through to the Universe Venerable level?"
"Oh, he did break through a barrier a few days ago."
Lu Qingshan's face showed a hint of surprise.
He knew that King Anju had left the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters continent a few days ago, but he didn't know exactly where he went—unexpectedly, he learned about his subordinate's whereabouts from the Shadow Lord.
" King Anju, he should have fallen!"
The Shadow Lord spoke directly.
Lu Qingshan raised an eyebrow slightly—this King Anju had only broken through to the Universe Venerable a few days ago, so how could he have suddenly perished? He was just one of his subordinates, and shouldn't even be considered Ganwu Lineage.
Why did it fall?
Lu Qingshan asked.
Without hesitation, the Shadow Lord said immediately, "I had some doubts at first, but since King Anju has broken through to the Universe Venerable, then it should be him."
Our Hongmeng Alliance received news that yesterday a Time Venerable broke into the core territory of the Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff of the Demon Race.
As soon as the Time Venerable appeared, he immediately deployed his Time Domain, enveloping the entire Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff territory. Under the Time Acceleration, all the Core Member the Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff below the Immortal were killed by the Time Acceleration —including the top geniuses of the Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff. Then, the Time Venerable faced the leader of the Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff clan, the Evil Tail Venerable Evil Tail. Although the Venerable Evil Tail's strength was only average among the Universe Venerable, he had at least broken through long ago and had a solid foundation. The Time Venerable seemed to have just broken through and only managed to barely contend with him because he possessed Supreme Treasure weapon. However, just as the Demon Race reinforcements were about to arrive, the Time Venerable suddenly produced a secret treasure. It's unclear what price the Time Venerable paid, but the treasure almost instantly unleashed a terrifying Soul Attack, causing the Venerable Evil Tail to fall into a coma. Afterwards, the Time Venerable enslaved the Venerable Evil Tail and then they both self-destructed.
Within the territory of a top-tier clan, annihilating an entire clan virtually guarantees no escape; self-destruction is the best possible outcome.
Clearly, the Time Venerable mentioned by the Shadow Lord must be King Anju.
King Anju had been under his wing for a long time. Even when the slave trade was banned, he only served as a deterrent and never took action. Lu Qingshan never expected that once this guy took action, he would be so brutal. An entire race—from the Universe Venerable to those below the Immortal level—was completely wiped out by him.
"Could it be that the King Anju has some deep-seated grudge behind his actions?"
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
"There is a reason for this—after learning the news, I conducted a special investigation. Lord of Myriad Laws, please take a look."
The Shadow Lord sent all the information about the investigation to Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan glanced at it and immediately understood the reason: nineteen people went, and only one returned; it was truly a heroic sacrifice.
Upon learning the reason, he felt a greater appreciation for this subordinate. When his strength was insufficient, he silently accumulated power, and once he reached the required level, he would strike with lightning speed, giving the enemy no chance to turn the tide.
They acted decisively.
The results were astonishing; they actually enslaved a Universe Venerable.
Although it relied on some kind of secret treasure, King Anju had just broken through to the Universe Venerable, so his ability to do this clearly indicated that he had meticulously planned for a long time and made ample preparations.
"We don't know who made the move on the Demon Race Outer Domain Battlefield yet! Their intelligence is not as good as ours. That Venerable Evil Tail has offended too many people over the years, so they probably can't investigate that little incident that happened on the extraterrestrial battlefield trillions of years ago."
The Shadow Lord spoke.
"That's somewhat good news. King Anju was cautious enough to conceal his identity and avoid causing trouble for our Human Race. Although the possibility of the Demon Race Universe Master intervening in this matter is very small, just to be on the safe side, we should still—"
Lu Qingshan pointed his finger.
Time-Space before him began to rewind.
King Anju had just visited him not long ago, so he easily found traces of his past.
"Certainly!"
He locked onto that figure in the river of time, Time Acceleration, overlapping with the real Time-Space moments later.
This was the first time he had resurrected Universe Venerable.
The backlash was quite powerful.
His Human Main Body's divine body was too weak in its foundation. Even with an eight-thousand-fold Gene Multiplier, which increased the size of his divine body, he was still weaker than other Universe Master. He was even injured when he resurrected this mere Elementary Venerable.
It seems we should elevate the Human Main Body to the Perfect Gene Level as soon as possible, otherwise we'll be at a great disadvantage in battle!
When Lu Qingshan resurrected King Anju, the Shadow Lord took his leave and rarely appeared before other Universe Venerable.
After a short while, Time-Space gradually calmed down.
" Lord of Myriad Laws ----"
King Anju knelt on the ground and instantly understood what was happening.
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "Well done, but you'll have to bear the cost of this resurrection yourself, which is about 1 Supreme Treasure Point. Just do your job well in the future."
"Understood."
King Anju knelt on the ground, his forehead touching the earth. After this revenge, his heartache had dissipated.
Next, I will serve the Lord of Myriad Laws diligently to repay this life-saving grace.
With this thought in mind, his mental will actually broke through and reached the level of Universe Overlord.
