Luo Feng raised his eyebrows. Was he being invited to join the Hong Alliance?
From the intelligence he had collected regarding the Hong Alliance and his discussions with other human powerhouses, he was aware that Immortal Monarchs typically received invitations upon their official enthronement as Kings. “King-tier Immortals” represented the minimum threshold for joining the Hong Alliance. He had never encountered any instance of a World Lord receiving such an invitation.
“Please, come in. I’m a bit taken aback by this. Why don’t we sit and talk about it?” Luo Feng smiled.
“Since it’s an invitation from His Highness, we naturally won’t refuse.”
Led by Luo Feng, the envoy team dispatched by the Hong Alliance passed through the vast estate and arrived at the living hall.
Luo Feng had already instructed the servants to prepare a grand banquet in the hall.
“Please be seated,” Luo Feng smiled.
The Hong Alliance members all took their seats, watching this “Prince Luo Feng” with great interest. Since they had been assigned to this envoy team, they naturally knew quite a bit about him. They were aware that this Luo Feng was a direct disciple of the legendary supreme existence among humans, the “Chaos City Lord.”
Moreover, being invited to join the Hong Alliance even as a World Lord indicated that this Prince Luo Feng was no ordinary figure.
“I haven’t been properly introduced to all of you,” Luo Feng finally sat down.
“Humans, Desire-Heart King.” The leader was a stunningly beautiful woman of human origin, wearing pink battle armor that barely covered her vital areas. Her translucent body and every smile and glance were captivating.
“Mengqiang Clan, Chasing-Light King.”
“Fog-Sha Clan, Droplet King.”
…
Each of the nine envoys introduced themselves, including two humans and seven aliens, all of them Kings.
“Wow, all Kings,” Luo Feng smiled. “I rarely get to meet so many Kings at once, especially from so many different alien races.”
“In the Hong Alliance, even the weakest members are of King-level strength. There’s nothing special to be praised here,” Desire-Heart King’s smile was enough to enchant even Immortal Monarchs. “I’m sure you already know why we’re here. The Hong Alliance is a highly inclusive coalition formed by the human race and numerous other species throughout the cosmos. We never force anyone to join, but once you’re in… you must never betray the alliance. So, Prince Luo Feng, are you willing to join?”
The other envoys also looked at Luo Feng.
“Of course,” Luo Feng nodded.
Come on.
All the supreme human powerhouses were involved. Who would dare not to join? Both of his mentors were members, so how could he stay out of it? Furthermore, joining the alliance would grant him the opportunity to meet nearly all the King-level Immortals of humanity. This was truly the central hub for expanding influence and forging connections.
“Ding!” As soon as Luo Feng spoke, a dazzling star suddenly materialized in the air above the hall.
The star shone brilliantly.
Then it gradually shrank, transforming into a streak of light that flew directly onto Luo Feng’s battle armor armguard, displaying a small star.
“Boom!”
At the same time, a hazy human figure materialized in the air. The invisible pressure caused everyone present—including the nine King-level envoys and Luo Feng—to instinctively sense the figure’s presence, yet none could raise their heads to look directly at it. It was as if ants stood before a deity, utterly powerless to resist.
The human figure slightly lowered its head, gazing down at Luo Feng.
“Human, Luo Feng!” The figure spoke, its voice indistinguishably male or female, reverberating directly into the soul.
“Welcome you to join the Hong Alliance. From this moment on, you are an official member of the Hong Alliance!”
“The universe is fraught with perils, and for the survival of our race, we require our mightiest warriors to fight—for the Hong Alliance, for all of humanity. This is the duty of every human warrior, and now it is your duty as well.” As the figure slowly faded, its voice lingered in Luo Feng’s mind. The grand hall remained in deep silence for a long time.
…
“For the Hong Alliance, for humanity…” Luo Feng murmured.
“Everyone,” Luo Feng regained his composure and looked at the other nine envoys, “do you know who that human figure was?”
Although his mentor, the Lord of Chaos City, always restrained his oppressive presence in front of him, Luo Feng could occasionally catch a faint trace of his aura. Now, he could compare it to the oppressive force emanating from the human figure before him. The pressure radiating from the figure was in no way inferior to that of his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City.
“This is a mystery of the Hong Alliance,” the Chasing-Light King, who resembled a bug warrior, chuckled. “Every time someone officially joins the Hong Alliance, this scene plays out, leaving countless members baffled about the identity of this human figure. Some claim it’s an avatar of one of the lords in the Hong Alliance Hall, while others think it’s a virtual intelligence system from the virtual universe. Since the virtual universe system can simulate any form of pressure, that explanation is certainly plausible too.”
Luo Feng asked curiously, “One of the hall masters of the Hong Alliance?”
“Your teacher, the revered Chaos City Lord, is one of the hall lords of the Hong Alliance Hall. They are all existences beyond the Seven-Star level,” the Chasing-Light King explained.
“Existences beyond the Seven-Star level?”
Luo Feng looked down at the single star mark on his armguard. “So does that make me a One-Star?”
“Yes.”
Chasing-Light King nodded. “Everyone who has just joined the Hong Alliance starts as a One-Star. One-Star is the lowest rank among the official members of the Hong Alliance. Everyone has to start from there. You don’t have to be discouraged, Luo Feng.”
“Since everyone starts at One-Star upon joining, naturally I won’t be disheartened,” Luo Feng asked curiously. “Could you tell me more about the One-Star, Seven-Star, and Palace Lords?”
However, Desire-Heart King beside him quickly stopped him.
“Luo Feng, now that you’re already a member of the Hong Alliance, you can now access detailed information about the Hong Alliance,” Desire-Heart King quickly said. “You can view everything. If we were to explain everything in detail, who knows how long it would take? After all, there’s just too much to describe about the Hong Alliance, and it’s impossible to finish in a short time. Before you enter Hong Alliance City… you should first take a thorough look at the information and data. That way, you won’t be completely clueless when you enter Hong Alliance City, knowing nothing at all.”
Luo Feng nodded and then smiled, saying, “Now that I’ve joined the Hong Alliance, the main matter is settled. Let’s all enjoy the banquet together.”
“Haha, how could we refuse the banquet set by Prince Luo Feng?”
“What a rare opportunity.”
The nine Kings from the envoy team were also eager to befriend Luo Feng. After a lively banquet, the hosts and guests parted ways, all in high spirits.
…
In the study.
Luo Feng sat in front of the desk, quickly starting to browse detailed information about the Hong Alliance.
“Tsk tsk, there really is a lot,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but exclaim as he looked at the screen. Before joining, he had been unable to access detailed materials, but now he could finally indulge.
Pictures, videos, and textual materials were all available.
From the pictures and videos…
The headquarters of the Hong Alliance was located in a specially created dimensional space within the virtual universe. In this dimensional space, countless stars shimmered. At its center, surrounded by these stars, floated an enormous ancient city. Suspended amidst the sea of stars… this ancient city was known as ‘Hong Alliance City,’ the dwelling place of countless powerful beings.
Hong Alliance City was a gathering place for humans and many alien races, filled with powerful beings.
It was very peaceful here—after all, it was the virtual universe, so naturally peaceful.
It had a strict hierarchy—status was determined by strength and contributions. Those with higher status naturally enjoyed more privileges.
The strength of official Hong Alliance members was uniformly determined by their battle records. The stronger the battle records, the higher the strength classification. The classification was simple: from one star, two stars, three stars… up to seven stars. Every strong fighter’s armguard or sleeve bore a star mark.
This made it easy to determine the other party’s strength classification.
All newly joined members of the Hong Alliance started with one star. Afterwards, based on their battle records in reality, the ‘Hong Alliance City subsystem’ of the virtual universe system would automatically assess their battle records and strength, thereby determining their level.
One Star: This was the level for newly joined members of the Hong Alliance, generally the most basic level of King-level Immortal.
Two Stars: Considered strong among Kings.
Three Stars: The peak of Kings.
Four Stars: The initial level of the Cosmic Sovereigns, like Zhenyan King could be classified into this level.
…
Seven Stars: The initial level of the Universe Lords, like Tianchi Lord could be classified into this level.
“What a massive city.”
“Hong Alliance City is divided into the outer city, inner city, and the Hong Alliance Hall.” Luo Feng watched the video in admiration. “There are an astonishing number of human powerhouses. There are about 100,000 human King-level Immortals, but when adding up the large number of alien races, there are over 3 million King-level Immortals.”
On the video.
A floating ancient city in space, surrounded by countless stars. The outer city faintly revealed dense crowds of powerful beings… Over 3 million Kings from various races had gathered here, with strength levels ranging from One to Three Stars residing in the outer city. As for the inner city, the footage showed almost no figures.
Those classified as Four to Six Stars resided in the inner city, which was almost entirely inhabited by Cosmic Sovereigns.
At the very core of the entire Hong Alliance City—
Was a magnificent and mysterious palace towering a million kilometers high, resembling a giant sword piercing the stars. This was the ‘Hong Alliance Hall.’
The Hong Alliance Hall was home to the ‘Seven-Star’ existences, who were at least as powerful as Tianchi Lords or Xiluoduo, the cosmic overlords.
The various hall masters of the Hong Alliance were even existences that surpassed the ‘Seven-Star’ level.
Each of them was an ultimate overlord whose slightest movement could shake countless species across the universe.
“Whoosh.”
“Is this their concealed true power?” Luo Feng sighed to himself. Take the Chaos City Lord, for example—he possessed the ability to reverse time and resurrect other powerhouses. Over countless eons, these powerhouses had accumulated, and Luo Feng had long harbored suspicions… there would be numerous King-level Immortals, but to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think… to think…
