The Lord Fanuo sat in the hall on the top floor of a skyscraper when suddenly the doorbell rang.
“Come in,” Lord Fanuo said.
With a swish, the door automatically slid open on both sides, and from outside walked in an alien male with numerous soft tentacles on his face. He had four hooves and two hands.
“Boss, here are this year’s detailed financial reports,” the alien respectfully handed over the documents, which were covered in dense lines of alien script.
Lord Fanuo picked them up and flipped through briefly. This was a corporation he had established while disguising himself as an ordinary being living on this planet. Although it might seem ridiculous for a great and supreme cosmic overlord to engage in such activities, Lord Fanuo enjoyed the feeling of being close to the most common strata of the universe.
Experiencing the competition among the ordinary classes often stirred emotions within Lord Fanuo and occasionally even triggered insights into the Dao of Laws.
“You may go now. I will hold a meeting later,” Lord Fanuo ordered.
“Yes.”
The ordinary employees working at this company could hardly fathom how terrifying their boss truly was. Even the so-called “qiangzhe,” a cosmic-level expert nominally regarded as the strongest on this planet, was nothing more than a joke in Lord Fanuo’s eyes. Having resided on this planet for a long time, he had secretly manipulated numerous shifts in power—yet to him, it was merely a fleeting thought.
If he wished…
With but a single thought, he could cause the twin suns in the sky to be utterly destroyed.
“Luo Feng was actually possessed by the Golden-Horned Giant Beast. Immortals cannot be possessed, which means Luo Feng must have been taken over when he was still a Domain Master? Back then, when Luo Feng made such a name for himself on Purple Thorn Island, was he already secretly under its control? No wonder he died and then returned to life—he was merely a new host body for the Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s possession,” Lord Fanuo pondered silently.
Possession meant the soul entering a new body and abandoning the original one.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast had a main body and three clones, and the consciousness and soul of one clone could leave and possess another body, abandoning the original physical form to take over a new one. However, the target of “possession” must be below the immortal level—it was impossible to possess an immortal being!
“Hmm?”
Lord Fanuo abruptly stood up.
“That’s not right!”
“At the Domain Master level, Luo Feng could slay a peak-level King, and as an immortal, he killed the Howling Mirror King. His physical body was no weaker than that of a miraculous special lifeform. Yet even so, a Domain Master-level body, even with a life genetic hierarchy thousands of times greater, could never contain the soul of a Cosmic Sovereign!” Suddenly, Lord Fanuo realized this point. “Could it be that the Golden-Horned Giant Beast was still merely an immortal back then?”
“Yes.”
“Only that explanation could account for his successful possession and why I didn’t recognize him at all. But how could he display such powerful secret techniques? Even if they were innate secret techniques of miraculous special lifeforms, they shouldn’t be this powerful.” Lord Fanuo’s thoughts hit a dead end.
Luofeng possessing the Golden-Horned Giant Beast? Impossible! Luofeng’s growth period was too short; he couldn’t have created such terrifying secret techniques.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast possessing Luofeng? Also impossible! Back then, Luofeng’s body at the Domain Master level couldn’t possibly contain the soul of a Cosmic Sovereign. At that time, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast must have still been merely an immortal… and in such a short time, he couldn’t possibly have created such terrifyingly powerful secret techniques.
“But they use the same secret techniques, clearly sharing the same consciousness! It must have been possession.”
“What’s going on?”
“What exactly is happening?” Lord Fanuo pondered for a long time without reaching a conclusion, eventually sighing inwardly… Indeed, the universe was mysterious and unfathomable, still filled with many inexplicable phenomena.
…
Lord Fanuo lived on this ordinary planet, while Luofeng returned to his divine kingdom to calmly cultivate and seek a breakthrough into the Cosmic Sovereign level.
At this time, atop the Thunder Island of the Virtual Universe, within a palace shrouded in endless chaotic currents.
Chaos Citylord sat cross-legged at the edge of a cliff, when suddenly a light screen appeared beside him, displaying detailed textual information and an image—the Mirrorstone.
“Hmm?”
“A direct message from the Virtual Universe System? What important news?” Chaos Citylord opened his eyes in puzzlement, only to reveal a look of astonishment upon seeing the screen, “Luofeng obtained the Mirrorstone?”
“Chaos!” A voice suddenly echoed around him.
“Founder Pangu.” Chaos Citylord spoke respectfully. There were only two individuals in the entire human race who could directly speak with him without going through a call request: Founder Pangu was one of them.
“Chaos, you know that Luofeng previously had the Virtual Universe System appraise the Mirrorstone?” The voice reverberated around, “The other Cosmic Sovereigns were informed at the same time. Now I’m preparing a high-level decision regarding the ownership of this Mirrorstone. Do you agree?”
“I agree.” Chaos Citylord nodded.
Chaos Citylord understood that the Mirrorstone was tied to the most important treasure since the opening of the Origin Star! Ordinary treasures were of no concern to the Cosmic Sovereigns… but the peak-tier treasure about to emerge from the Qishen Hall was coveted by every major cosmic force.
The fact that Founder Pangu chose to conduct a ‘high-level decision’ rather than directly demanding it from Luofeng already showed considerable leniency.
…
The Virtual Universe System, after all, belonged to the human race’s Virtual Universe! And the highest-ranking beings within the human race were naturally the Founder Pangu, Chaos Citylord, Void Gold Sovereign, Yanshan Sovereign, Longxing Sovereign, and over a dozen other great existences. After Luofeng appraised the Mirrorstone, the Virtual Universe System logically judged and directly transmitted the information to this group of high-level leaders.
…
In one of the Virtual Universe’s dimensional spaces, an endless darkness stretched out, with distant starlight twinkling.
A simple temple floated midair.
In front of the temple was a long stone table, with stone chairs on both sides. At the head of the table was a single stone chair, occupied by a wild-looking giant. Around the table, figures appeared one by one—these were the various Cosmic Sovereigns, including Chaos Citylord.
Soon, everyone had arrived.
“Everyone is here,” the wild giant looked around, and all the Cosmic Sovereigns treated him with respect… this Founder Pangu before them was the strongest being in the universe!
“Luofeng has obtained the Mirrorstone, which is connected to a treasure of the peak domain-level category,” the wild giant stated directly, “This is of great significance to our race. However, since Luofeng obtained it through his own abilities, we cannot simply demand it from him. So, what should we do… everyone, please share your opinions.”
As soon as Founder Pangu spoke, he set a precedent—cannot directly demand it!
“The Mirrorstone,” a cold voice spoke up, “is connected to the Qishen Hall! What is Luofeng’s strength? It’s practically useless to him! For the sake of our race’s strength… make him hand it over directly. Just compensate him a bit—would an Upper-tier Treasure be enough? If not, give him a bit more, right?”
“Mm.” A Cosmic Sovereign nodded in agreement.
“I support this.”
“True, although he obtained it, giving it to him is a waste! After the Qishen Hall’s opening period… the Mirrorstone will lose its value. However, it could potentially bring another supreme treasure to our human race.”
“I support.”
“Support.”
One by one, the Cosmic Sovereigns expressed their views.
“I agree with everyone, but we must be cautious… Luofeng has risen all the way to his current status, shining brilliantly. As a genius unseen in millions of years within our human race, his pride is understandable! Although the Mirrorstone is important, we must not let this issue strain our relationship with Luofeng. Back then, the Flame Sovereign had a temperamental and rebellious nature… although he wanted to seize a fellow clansman’s treasure, we shouldn’t have let things escalate to the point of him leaving our race. This matter may seem simple, but we must be cautious… we must not let things sour. Luofeng’s talent and abilities are no less than the Flame Sovereign’s, and he could very well become a Cosmic Sovereign in the future.” A gentle voice spoke.
“Different.”
“Luofeng and the Flame Sovereign are completely different. The Flame Sovereign was extremely selfish. Although our race tolerates super-powerful experts, we failed to protect our own strong experts at the most basic level! He attacked fellow clansmen and still doesn’t admit fault to this day… such extreme selfishness, his departure from our human race is no loss to me, rather, I feel relieved! If I had to fight alongside him, it would be an insult to me!”
“Luofeng and the Flame Sovereign do have different personalities.”
That gentle voice spoke again, “Although different, the pride of supreme geniuses is something we all understand. The more extraordinary they are, the more extreme their self-confidence! If we handle this improperly… it could easily provoke resentment. In terms of reason, the Mirrorstone was indeed obtained by Luofeng himself. Even if it is wasted, it is still his right! No matter how regrettable it is for our race, we shouldn’t interfere. Of course, from the perspective of our race… it would be best if Founder Pangu himself held this Mirrorstone and entered the Qishen Hall. With Founder Pangu’s abilities, the probability of obtaining that supreme treasure would naturally be extremely high.”
“Mm.”
“I support what Sovereign Qingdong said.”
“It indeed needs to be handled carefully.”
“Luofeng taking it is a waste, but convincing him to give it up is important.”
“We should retrieve the Mirrorstone from Luofeng… but convincing him might be difficult.”
One by one, the Cosmic Sovereigns voiced their opinions.
Except for Chaos Citylord, all other Cosmic Sovereigns spoke up and quickly reached a consensus… the Mirrorstone must be retrieved, preferably with Luofeng’s understanding. Although these Cosmic Sovereigns were the true ruling elite of the human race, they still placed great importance on Luofeng.
“Chaos, what do you think?” Founder Pangu looked over.
Chaos Citylord smiled slightly and shook his head, “What else can I say? Now that everyone is in agreement, I naturally have no objection. The Mirrorstone… must be retrieved, but the premise is not to escalate the conflict. We already lost the Flame Sovereign, we must not let Luofeng go as well.”
The various Cosmic Sovereigns nodded slightly.
It was not uncommon in the universe for powerful experts to leave their original forces and join others.
Firstly, super experts usually had their loved ones perish long ago.
Secondly, the stronger one became, the more confident and resolute in their own beliefs they were. Once provoked… truly angering them could indeed lead to them leaving their force directly.
“Chaos, you handle this matter,” the wild giant smiled, “You are his teacher. If you speak, he will be least resistant.”
“Haha, Chaos, this matter is troubling you.”
“Haha…” laughter echoed among the surrounding Cosmic Sovereigns.
Chaos Citylord could only nod.
“Be sure to do everything possible to convince Luofeng to agree,” the wild giant said solemnly, “The Mirrorstone, after all, is connected to the supreme treasure within the Qishen Hall.”
“I will convince him.” Chaos Citylord nodded.
