With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Chaos City summoned two chairs made of condensed chaotic energy next to the throne.
"Please sit down. You have slain a demon lord, bringing honor to our human race. This is no small achievement."
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"But that old codger Jin Lin is offering a bounty of two treasures for your life. He's really getting worse as he gets older."
After the two were seated, the Lord of Chaos City's expression gradually turned solemn: "Let's get down to business. The main reason I called you here today is regarding the opening of the Primordial Star."
With a light tap of his fingertip, a projection of a dazzling star appeared in the void. Countless mysterious patterns flowed across the surface of the star, radiating a heart-pounding aura.
"The Primordial Star, a miraculous place nurtured by the origin of the universe, where an endless era begins once."
As the Lord of Chaos City explained, the projection began to change, revealing various breathtaking scenes: a rainbow bridge spanning the starry sky, a lake of laws floating in the void, and a group of volcanoes spewing chaotic energy.
Xingchen's gaze narrowed slightly.
The Lord of Chaos City continued to speak.
"There are 1081 primordial stars in total. Each opening lasts for a thousand epochs and contains countless treasures. Not only are there many important treasures, but there are also many supreme treasures. Each opening of a primordial star is a grand gathering of all races in the entire universe."
Venerable Guiyi added at the opportune moment: "Every time the Primordial Star opens, it triggers a great war among the Venerables of various races. During the last opening, more than a hundred Universe Venerables fell, and even the Lord of the Universe fought against each other."
"So this time, you will also be fighting. Your strength is already sufficient. I guess your true strength should have reached the level of a high-level Venerable."
The Lord of Chaos City stared intently at the stars, his gaze sharp as torches.
"With your current strength, you are capable of standing on your own. But to become a true powerhouse, you must ultimately be bathed in blood!"
Chapter 140 Thunder Island
Xingchen smiled slightly.
"This is exactly what I wanted to do. I also want to kill as many of those alien races as possible. As many as come, I will kill them all!"
"Before that, there is something important."
"In a while, the human race will hold a supreme meeting to discuss matters concerning the Primal Star. As a newly promoted Universe Venerable, you will need to attend. By the way, your authority has been changed to that of a High-Level Venerable. Although you haven't truly broken through, our human race doesn't just look at realms; battle records are the true standard for determining strength."
The Venerable Guiyi explained, "Only beings of the level of Universal Venerable and above are qualified to participate in the Supreme Council..."
The Lord of Chaos City spoke.
“This is not an exception. With your current strength, you should have a seat.”
"By the way, you haven't built a palace on Thunder Island yet, have you?"
Xingchen thought for a moment and nodded.
"Go back to Thunder Island and build a palace. Your strength is already more than enough."
……
Virtual Universe, at the summit of Thunder Island!
brush!
The stars appeared out of thin air and immediately spotted the Chaos City Lord standing on the edge of the cliff.
"teacher."
Xingchen called out respectfully.
"coming."
The Lord of Chaos City turned to look at Xingchen and said with a smile.
"Come and take a look."
Xingchen walked to the side of the Chaos City Lord with a puzzled look.
"Stand next to me and look down."
"Um?"
Xingchen stepped forward and stood alongside the Lord of Chaos City, looking down at the swirling air below, where palaces could be faintly seen.
"All the immortal gods of my Virtual Universe Company reside here."
The Lord of Chaos looked down and sighed.
"The countless palaces on Thunder Island are those of the immortals. And the palaces on the mountainside of the central mountain range of Thunder Island are where the cosmic venerables reside, while the palaces at the top of the mountain are where the cosmic lords reside, as well as some extremely powerful cosmic overlords."
The stars nodded.
To have a palace atop the highest peak of Thunder Island signifies standing among the strongest beings in the universe, and he... it won't be long before he too has a place atop that peak!
"After you entered immortality, you should have come to Thunder Island to build a palace, but you were delayed because of your seclusion and the sale of precious treasures."
"Let's build this palace this time."
The Lord of Chaos City said.
"With your strength and record, choose a spot on the mountainside and build a palace there."
Xingchen smiled and said respectfully.
"Yes."
He is not the Luo Feng of the original story now; no one will stop him from building a palace on this mountainside.
His record started to be truly impressive.
“Each cosmic venerable will have an independent dimensional space as their territory.”
The Lord of Chaos City said.
"In a little while, we will also arrange a dimensional space for you. By the way, your Star Palace also has an independent dimensional space. You should know this, right?"
Xingchen thought about it and realized that there seemed to be such a thing.
The Lord of Chaos City smiled and shook his head.
"Now that you've established your power, you need to be more careful. Your Star Palace is now known as the number one power under the five major powers, so you need to keep a close eye on the people under your command."
Xingchen fell silent, seemingly having never managed such trivial matters.
It was mostly left to Elena and Venerable Biyou.
Let me give you the instructions later.
With his arrangements, Elena and the others should be able to handle it.
His power naturally wouldn't allow scum to appear.
……
"The Universe Reverends are considered the backbone of the human race, and they are considered high-level officials. They are involved in the governance of many matters of the human race."
The Lord of Chaos City looked at the stars and said.
"Alright, that's enough. Go and build the palace now. I'll be waiting for the day you reach the top of the mountain."
Xingchen nodded respectfully.
"The teacher won't wait any longer."
After saying that, he leaped off the mountaintop.
The Lord of Chaos City watched the falling star with anticipation. He had personally witnessed the star's breakthrough to immortality, as well as its terrifying combat power, miniature universe, and innate secret techniques.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before Xingchen would truly stand by his side.
Thunder Island, Central Mountain Range, on the mountainside.
This is an incomparably majestic mountain range. The cosmic venerables are represented by palace complexes, along with numerous servants, disciples, and nominal disciples. Each palace complex is hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilometers in diameter. Yet, they appear merely as embellishments on the mountainside. This demonstrates the immense size of the Central Mountain Range.
Whoosh!
The stars flew along the mountainside, searching for a suitable place.
The star flew slowly along the mountainside of Thunder Island, its gaze sweeping over the majestic palace complex. These palaces varied in style; some were pitch black, some shone with gold, and others were made entirely of ice, exuding a chilling aura.
"This is it."
He stopped on a prominent cliff, where the view was expansive, overlooking the sea of clouds below and gazing up at the palace of the cosmic ruler atop the mountain. Just as he was about to begin construction, a familiar yet unfamiliar presence rapidly approached from afar.
"Starry Sky... Venerable One?"
A slightly hesitant voice came. Xingchen turned around and saw a man in dark purple armor standing in mid-air with flame patterns on his forehead. It was none other than the Fire Erosion Venerable.
"Erosion Venerable." Xingchen nodded slightly, finding the title somewhat novel. Although the outside world had long regarded him as a Universe Venerable, this was the first time he had ever heard a fellow powerhouse address him in this way.
Venerable Fiery Destruction landed on the cliff, a complex look flashing in his eyes: "I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems you're also here to build a palace?"
"Exactly."
Xingchen pointed to the empty space beneath her feet.
“The scenery here is nice.”
Venerable Fire Eclipse looked around and nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a good location. It is neither too far nor too close to the top, so it is neither too ostentatious nor too intimidating, but it can still show off one's status."
He paused.
"With your record, building a palace here is most appropriate."
The two stood side by side, speechless for a moment. The clouds and mist of Thunder Island churned beneath their feet, and occasionally, Venerable Ones flew by in the distance, casting curious glances at this peculiar pair.
"Speaking of which..."
Venerable Fire Eclipse suddenly spoke, his voice tinged with apology.
"My good-for-nothing son offended me a lot back then."
Xingchen paused for a moment, then remembered the Nightmare Candle King.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
Xingchen waved his hand.
Venerable Fiery smiled wryly and shook his head: "That kid is arrogant and doesn't know his own limitations. I've kept him locked up in the Purgatory Secret Realm for years to temper him, and he's finally become more sensible."
He looked up at the stars.
"If you have the opportunity, I hope you can give him some pointers."
