Virtual Universe, the Mount of Gods plane.
In the magnificent palace, dozens of True God of the Human Race and many Universe Master gathered together.
The golden hall was illuminated by countless star-like points of light, as if the entire starry sky was contained within the building. The long table was laden with delicacies and fine wines from all Universe Ocean, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
This banquet was held to celebrate Lu Qingshan's breakthrough to True God.
Because many True God of the Human Race and the Hongmeng Alliance are currently adventuring in the Jin World, the banquet was held in this Virtual Universe.
Although their true forms are no longer present, even a faint wisp of their avatars can still connect to the Virtual Universe.
The guests present were mainly from within the Human Race, but there were also a few core allies of the Hongmeng Alliance, such as the Lord of Flint, the Lord Langhan, Xi Luo Duo, an elder of the Golden Horn Race, who was also the Lord of Yan Shen.
Furthermore, several elders of the Banyanwood Race, as Venerable Star Wheel and Venerable Xiyue of the Void Light Race, were also invited.
Although they were only Universe Venerable, they were exceptionally invited because of their relationship with the Lord of Myriad Laws. The only others who received this treatment were Lu Qingshan's disciples below the Universe Master.
The Chaos City Lord sat to one side of the main seat, Lu Qingshan sat in the center, Giant Axe Founder, the Dark True God, and the Peng Gong True God were arranged in order, with the True God who had been born in the Human Race over the years sitting next to them.
Ice Peak True God, Long Xing True God, Huang Jian True God, Qing Dong True God, Lan Cang True God...
Their auras were different, but their faces were all filled with joy. Although they knew all these years that the Lord of Myriad Laws had not broken through because he was following the path of Divine Power Flow School, trillions of epochs had passed and the Lord of Myriad Laws was still stuck at the level of the Universe Master. It would be a lie to say that they were not worried.
After all, the Lord of Myriad Laws is the hope for their Human Race to create Holy Land Universe, and also the hope to resolve the World Beast Crisis.
Now that the Lord of Myriad Laws has broken through to the True God Level, all worries have vanished into nothingness.
After several rounds of drinks, the Chaos City Lord suddenly stood up, his gaze falling on a quiet figure in the corner of the hall.
He was a rather young-looking Universe Master, dressed in a plain blood-red robe. His aura was not particularly outstanding among Universe Master, but he possessed a rare sense of composure.
" Qingshan, let me introduce you to someone."
The Chaos City Lord beckoned to the figure, who then stood up and walked over, stopping in the center of the hall and bowing slightly in greeting.
The Chaos City Lord looked at Lu Qingshan and said, "This is Huo Qiong, Universe Master cultivated by the Virtual Universe Company over the years. His strength isn't top-tier among Universe Master, but he has gone extremely deep into one path: the Water-Fire Fusion Law."
The Chaos City Lord specifically introduced Lu Qingshan to him because he was aware of Lu Qingshan's past.
He knew that Lu Qingshan had previously acquired a treasure from a senior named Jie Fanzi, and he promised to help Jie Fanzi find a successor.
In fact, the Chaos City Lord had discovered Huo Qiong a long time ago.
However, Lu Qingshan had been busy cultivating the Divine Power Flow School all these years and had no time to pay attention to these things. By the time the Chaos City Lord really introduced Lu Qingshan, Huo Qiong, this young man, had already reached the level of Universe Master by relying on his talent and the company's resources. When Lu Qingshan heard this name, his hand, which was holding a wine glass, paused slightly, and his gaze fell on this young man.
The Water-Fire Fusion Law.
He understood better than anyone what this path meant; it was a path even more difficult than the Path of the Beast God.
Jie Fanzi initially used the Laws of Water and Fire as his core to reach the peak of the Tenth-Order True God, and even touched the threshold of the Origin of Laws.
Unfortunately Jie Fanzi was born at the wrong time and ultimately failed to escape the cycle of reincarnation.
The fact that this young man was able to even begin this path is enough to demonstrate his talent.
Moreover, Huo Qiong was originally supposed to be Luo Feng 'Luo Feng disciple. Luo Feng was the one who found a successor for Jie Fanzi. However, Jie Fanzi's treasure was acquired by Lu Qingshan, and Huo Qiong was not accepted as a disciple by Luo Feng by Huo Qiong twist of fate. Instead, he waited for countless epochs before being Chaos City Lord at this banquet.
"Greetings, Lord of Myriad Laws!"
Although Huo Qiong's voice was steady, it was clear that he was still somewhat nervous.
After all, he was facing the Lord of Myriad Laws, the strongest being in the Human Race. It was said that he even controlled the Universe Boat of the Three Great Forbidden Lands.
It could be said that he had grown up listening to the legends of the Lord of Myriad Laws during the countless epochs of his cultivation at the Virtual Universe Company. Now that he had finally met the real Lord, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
" The Water-Fire Fusion Law, where have you reached?" Lu Qingshan put down his wine cup and asked slowly. Huo Qiong raised his head, his voice not loud but clear. "If we follow the division of the Path of the Beast God, my Water-Fire Fusion should be at the peak of the Sixth Layer, far from perfection. However, since becoming the Universe Master, I have devoted all my energy to this path, and I feel that my progress has been quite good. I am confident that I can reach the Seventh Layer perfection."
The Duan Donghe Inheritance involves the Water-Fire Fusion.
Huo Qiong had previously only shown great talent in the Laws of Water and Fire, and it was only after coming into contact with the Duan Donghe Inheritance that he embarked on this path.
He became the Universe Master, or did he break through to become the Universe Master through the Fire-Space Fusion Law?
After listening, Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and then slowly said, " Huo Qiong, you do have some talent in the Water-Fire Fusion. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Huo Qiong was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting this turn of events.
He glanced at the Chaos City Lord, then at Lu Qingshan, and knelt down without hesitation. "Disciple Huo Qiong greets Master."
Although he is the Universe Master and the Lord of Myriad Laws, and has only just broken through to the True God realm, Huo Qiong knows that even ten thousand of himself would not be a match for the Lord of Myriad Laws.
He naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity that seemed to have fallen from the sky.
Moreover, Huo Qiong could clearly sense that when the Lord of Myriad Laws uttered those words, many Universe Master had an expression of envy in their eyes.
Clearly, there are far too many Universe Master aspire to be disciples of the Lord of Myriad Laws.
"Get up." Lu Qingshan raised his hand, and a force lifted him up. Then he took out a dark cyan memory stone and handed it to Huo Qiong, saying, "This is the secret technique of ' Water-Fire Origin ' left by the senior Jie Fanzi from countless Reincarnation Era ago. He was a top -Level 10 True God who devoted his entire life to studying the Water-Fire Fusion. Although he ultimately failed to transcend reincarnation, the legacy he left behind is enough to save later generations from countless detours. Now that you have embarked on this path, this legacy should be of great help to you. The last part of this legacy has some minor issues, which I have hidden for you. I will tell you about it after you become True God." Huo Qiong accepted the memory stone with both hands. Without needing to consciously perceive it, he immediately knew its contents within the Virtual Universe.
An expression of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "This inheritance is very important to me. Thank you, teacher."
Lu Qingshan didn't say anything more, but simply nodded to him, indicating that he could leave.
After bowing, Huo Qiong stepped aside. Once he returned to his seat, several other Universe Master nearby quickly gathered around, their attitude much more polite than before.
At the same time, a message was sent back to Lu Qingshan's mind.
[You bestow upon your disciple the Huo Qiong Secret Technique " Water-Fire Origin," receiving a ten-thousand-fold return; you obtain the Secret Technique " Chaos Water-Fire."]
Lu Qingshan probed his consciousness into the space of his cheat system, where a book with a cover made of interwoven red and blue colors was quietly floating.
He glanced at the contents and knew that the level of this secret technique had far surpassed Jie Fanzi's original " Water-Fire Origin ".
Lu Qingshan didn't rush to take it out for a closer look; he simply left it in his golden finger space and then picked up the wine glass in front of him again.
The atmosphere in the main hall remained lively, with congratulations rising and falling. The Lord of Myriad Laws had not only broken through to the True God but also gained a worthy disciple, a double blessing that provided even more fodder for conversation at the banquet.

However, just as the Human Race was celebrating, deep within the Tilted Peak Realm, at the edge of the Dim Land, a ferocious figure slowly emerged from the black air currents, exuding an evil aura.
Its gaze pierced through the churning black mist, looking towards the vast void that belonged to the Universe Ocean.
" Bedi!"
Morosa let out an angry roar.
"Damn Bedi, you foolish Bedi! Don't think that just because you can defeat me, I'll give up. I, Morosa, am the ultimate king! Just you wait! Once I've increased my strength and become a top-tier existence among Third-Order World Beast, I will definitely go back and devour you!"
Because of a sneak attack before the trillionth era, he failed to kill the injured Bedi and was instead hunted down by him.
These countless eras.
Morosa faced countless perilous situations; had it not been for his intelligence, he would have been devoured by Bedi long ago.
But now, Bedi's strength is growing stronger and stronger, and he is not far from breaking through to the Level 4.
The gap in strength is too large, rendering some plans meaningless.
To avoid being devoured, Morosa had no choice but to flee. Staying in the Dim Land would surely result in his death at Morosa hands of Bedi, as Tifa had tarnished his reputation. Now, he was also disliked by the World Beast; any other World Beast who encountered him would relay messages to Bedi. He had nowhere to hide.
Fortunately, countless eons ago, when the Lord of Myriad Laws came to the Dim Land, he had already devised a plan.
"Your Majesty," the Nine-Headed Demon Lord spoke, his tone respectful, "Do you wish to leave the Dim Land?"
"Hmm." Morosa didn't turn around, and said coldly, "There's not much of a chance left in the lair. Those guys are getting more and more wary. Staying there will only attract the attention of stronger beings. Although the Universe Ocean is dangerous, at least it has enough space and nutrients. What changes have occurred in the Universe Ocean over the years?"
The Nine-Headed Demon Lord remained silent for a moment, then recounted all the information he had gathered during this period.
" The Universe Ocean has changed a lot in recent years. The number of True God has increased considerably. Many of the older True God have benefited from the Jin World, and their strength has improved significantly. In particular, the Human Race now has more than thirty True God. Not long ago, the Lord of Myriad Laws also broke through to the True God Level."
Morosa paused for a moment.
It didn't turn its head, but the Nine-Headed Demon Lord could sense a subtle change in its aura at that instant.
" The Lord of Myriad Laws..."
Morosa repeated the name.
He also remembered that countless eons ago, the Lord of Myriad Laws had entered the Dim Land and escaped from Tifa.
The Nine-Headed Demon Lord continued, "His Miniature Universe is said to be a billion light-years in diameter, far exceeding the standard of an ordinary True God. Moreover, before his breakthrough, a golden light appeared in the entire Primal Universe, and almost all the powerful beings knelt down in worship, unable to resist it." Morosa turned one of his heads, a hint of shock and caution flashing in his single eye.
"A billion light-years? Miniature Universe of True God?"
"Yes, the news is absolutely true; many True God have gone to see it," the Nine-Headed Demon Lord hurriedly said.
Morosa didn't ask any more questions.
It stood silently for a moment, then turned around again, transforming into the appearance of a powerful being from the Universe Ocean, and walked towards the depths of the Universe Ocean.
The Nine-Headed Demon Lord stood behind it, watching the black figure gradually disappear into the surging Chaos air currents, and regret and helplessness appeared on all nine heads.
In fact, he had been to the Dim Land before Star Master Bei Chi. His purpose in going Dim Land was simply to confirm the true threat posed by the World Beast.
However, as soon as he entered the Dim Land, he encountered Morosa and was almost instantly killed. When he learned that there were millions of such World Beast in the Dim Land, he was utterly desperate.
In order to save their lives and survive the World Beast Calamity.
He chose to side with the World Beast and become World Beast servant.
However, after making that choice, he realized he was wrong, terribly wrong.
After siding with the World Beast, he was unable to disobey World Beast orders, becoming like a soul puppet, and even vaguely sensed that his future fate would not be good. But it was too late for regrets.
After making this wrong choice, he had no way out and could only choose to go down a dark path.
The Nine-Headed Demon Lord sighed, his nine heads drooping simultaneously, before turning and heading towards his own Small Universe.
With the World Beast gone from the Dim Land, the Universe Ocean is bound to descend into chaos.
It remains to be seen whether the World Beast will prevail this time, or whether the Universe Ocean will win.
