“Zushen Church, the most powerful force in the universe?” Luo Feng asked in confusion. He knew absolutely nothing about the Zushen Church, but the ‘Beast God Inheritance Order’ had indeed affected him.
“Let me see it,” Luo Feng said, extending his hand.
“You can view it by infusing it with your divine power,” Tianlang, with his emerald-green eyes fixed on Luo Feng, replied, “As for this Beast God Inheritance Order, it’s better if I keep it until the transaction is complete. I’ll hold it while you infuse it with your divine power.”
Luo Feng glanced at Tianlang. “You’re really too cautious.”
“Humans are cunning,” Tianlang urged, “Hurry up and check it already.”
Luo Feng focused on the hexagonal stone tablet. Instantly, an invisible thread of mental energy shot forth and quickly entered the hexagonal stone tablet held in Tianlang’s claw. As soon as his mental energy penetrated it, it seemed as if he had entered an ancient world.
“Carrying the Beast God Inheritance Order, one can head to the inheritance site. If one’s talent, aptitude, and abilities qualify, one may obtain the Beast God Inheritance. The cosmic coordinates of the inheritance site are…” A stream of information directly entered Luo Feng’s mind, describing how this hexagonal stone tablet was the Beast God Inheritance Order of the ‘Earth and Space’ combined laws.
This made Luo Feng feel slightly disappointed since he was cultivating the ‘Metal and Space’ combined law path of the Beast God.
“Done?” Tianlang looked at Luo Feng. “Make your decision now.”
“Let me think,” Luo Feng replied.
“Not a problem. I’ve waited for endless eons, so I can certainly wait a little longer while you think,” Tianlang stood in the hall, staring at Luo Feng.
Although Luo Feng appeared to be standing there frowning, in reality, his consciousness had already connected to the virtual universe.
…
In the study of Luo Feng’s villa in the virtual universe:
Luo Feng quickly began searching for information on his laptop.
“Zushen Church,” he first searched for information about the Zushen Church. Since Luo Feng had successfully passed the Primordial Sky Mountain at the Monarch level, his access privileges had been upgraded again.
“Ah?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up as rows of information about the Zushen Church appeared on the screen. He immediately started browsing through it.
“Beast God Inheritance Order,” he then looked up information about the Beast God Inheritance Order.
The Zushen Church is the most powerful force in the universe.
It was established at the birth of the universe. The highest-ranking figures in the Zushen Church are the legendary Three Ancestor Gods!
The Three Ancestor Gods, Eight Beast Gods, 72 Divine Generals, and 3000 Divine Envoys!
These are the fixed numbers of powerful beings within the Zushen Church. Although there are candidates for Divine Envoys, Divine Generals, and Beast Gods, the true Eight Beast Gods each hold unique positions. A new Beast God can only emerge if an existing Beast God perishes. The same applies to Divine Generals and Divine Envoys; each of the 72 Divine Generals and 3000 Divine Envoys is unique.
The inheritances of the Zushen Church are divided into three categories:
First, the Divine Envoy Inheritance, second, the Divine General Inheritance, and third, the Beast God Inheritance.
The Beast God Inheritance is the highest form of inheritance. Each of the Eight Beast Gods is a mighty cosmic overlord. Throughout the vast universe, countless beings from myriad races pursue the path of the Beast God and even obtain the Beast God Inheritance. Some have even cultivated to a level rivaling the true Beast Gods.
Nevertheless, they cannot become Beast Gods unless the Beast God of their cultivation path perishes.
Once someone occupies a ‘Beast God Seat,’ this honored position can greatly enhance a cultivator’s strength. This is why each honored position of Beast God, Divine General, and Divine Envoy can only be held by one individual.
…
The Zushen Church is an open sect. They do not engage in factional conflicts or seek territorial control because their entire sect consists of only a little over 3000 powerful beings.
They recruit powerful beings from all races across the universe. Their various inheritances are scattered throughout the cosmos, giving those with a destined connection the opportunity to obtain them. Those who obtain these inheritances are not considered members of the Zushen Church, even if they cultivate to perfection. Only by inheriting an honored position can one become a true member.
The Zushen Church does not interfere in racial wars or factional struggles.
Other than the Three Ancestor Gods who reside at the pinnacle, the Eight Beast Gods, 72 Divine Generals, and 3000 Divine Envoys are scattered among the myriad races of the universe.
…
The Divine Envoy Inheritance, Divine General Inheritance, and Beast God Inheritance naturally increase in status.
Among them, the lowest, the Divine Envoy Inheritance, is held in crystals drifting through the cosmos, obtained by various powerful beings. However, the ‘Divine General Inheritance Sites’ are fixed locations, scattered throughout the universe. As for the ‘Beast God Inheritance Sites,’ they are controlled and protected by the Zushen Church. Entry into these inheritance sites requires possession of a Beast God Inheritance Order.
There are eight types of Beast God Inheritance Orders, representing the eight paths of the Beast Gods. These are the combined laws of ‘Metal and Space,’ ‘Wood and Space,’ ‘Earth and Space,’…’Light and Time,’ ‘Wind and Time,’ and ‘Thunder and Time.’
…
Our human race has long established a rule: if a powerful being obtains a ‘Beast God Inheritance Order,’ they may use it themselves if applicable. If not, they should submit it to the race. The race will provide treasures of equal value in return, and may even offer another ‘Beast God Inheritance Order.’
…
Luo Feng finished reading all this in one breath, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
The Zushen Church was such a transcendent force, with its inheritances scattered across many regions of the universe, yet its true membership was pitifully small, numbering only a few thousand.
“The Three Ancestor Gods, the Eight Beast Gods,” Luo Feng murmured to himself, “just how powerful must an Ancestor God be? Could they rival the level of Teacher Situ’s master? Perhaps only with power like that can the Zushen Church rightfully claim to be the most powerful force in the universe.”
An elite strategy.
The Zushen Church completely pursued an elite strategy, with very few members yet capable of surpassing the six peak forces.
“Now that I’ve obtained this Beast God Inheritance Order, I can exchange it with our race for one that suits me better,” Luo Feng thought with anticipation, his eyes shining, “Too bad for you, Tianlang!”
…
In the palace hall of the Southern Ice Prison, the prison lord ‘Tianlang’ was silently staring at Luo Feng.
“Have you decided?” Tianlang finally spoke.
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.
“Good, are you willing to make the trade?” The aura around Tianlang subtly intensified, clearly showing his eagerness to return to his race. Currently, he was already a King-level expert without equal, though his strength still differed from other King-level experts outside. The difference lay in his treasures! His own abilities were sufficient. If he could obtain several appropriate treasures, his survival and combat capabilities would rise to an even higher level, making him truly extraordinary.
“Trade,” Luo Feng looked at Tianlang.
“Smart choice,” Tianlang laughed aloud, then said, “Human, you first give me the anonymous account identifier for the virtual universe. I need to verify it first.”
“It’s better if we exchange simultaneously,” Luo Feng frowned.
“Haha, are you trying to play me?” Tianlang said, “If I give you the Beast God Inheritance Order directly, you could immediately leave, even deactivating the permissions of that anonymous account identifier. If I don’t verify it, how would I know if your claim is true or false?”
Luo Feng looked at him, thinking to himself.
Tianlang was cunning… whether he could be tricked into the trap was unknown.
“Your point has merit,” Luo Feng said, then tossed out an auxiliary optical brain.
Instantly, a surge of divine power wrapped around the auxiliary optical brain. Tianlang stared at it, his emerald eyes filled with excitement. When he was imprisoned in the Ice Prison long ago, his status had not been very high. But now, he had the strength of a peerless King, which would certainly attract the attention of his race. Once he returned… he would be honored and nurtured as a key figure, and becoming a Cosmic Sovereign would not be difficult. With his peerless King-level strength, becoming a Cosmic Sovereign would make him anything but an ordinary Cosmic Sovereign.
“Follow my instructions,” Tianlang growled, and beside him, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air. This was a very beautiful figure with six wings, nearly nine meters tall, her form vaguely blurred, her silhouette graceful and alluring.
“Yes, Master,” the female servant respectfully replied, taking the auxiliary optical brain.
Then the female servant began connecting to the virtual universe.
Tianlang watched the scene with excitement, glancing at Luo Feng several times.
Luo Feng silently observed, connected to the virtual universe and monitoring everything… With his extremely high authority, Luo Feng was already considered one of the upper echelons of the human race, though not the highest. His status as a direct disciple of Lord Huncheng and his place among the most elite geniuses granted him immense privileges.
In reality, he had created a ‘local network’ for that anonymous account.
In other words—
Whatever that anonymous account did was actually controlled entirely by him! For example, if it seemed like many players were playing a virtual game, or if there were many people in a bar on the street, in reality, it was all simulated. The entire virtual universe was realistically simulated, so much so that even Luo Feng himself could not detect any falseness.
“No matter what you do, if you want to send a message, go ahead. Unfortunately, you’re in a ‘private virtual network,’ completely disconnected from the entire virtual universe network,” Luo Feng thought silently.
“Tsk tsk… this female servant has entered the game?”
“The third-ranked virtual game, which has a history of over 30 million years,” Luo Feng monitored everything. Because human history was infinitely long, some virtual games indeed had a large number of players and many followers. A well-developed virtual game could last for hundreds of millions of years, as long as it could generate substantial profits, the game would naturally be sustained.
“The female servant… hmm, she’s posting a public bounty task across the entire game?”
Luo Feng monitored and discovered that after entering the game, the female servant first transferred a sum of money from a small anonymous account at the First Universal Bank, then posted a bounty task across the entire game, and then did some other things. After spending a long time in the game, she logged off.
…
In the grand hall.
Tianlang looked at the female servant, who respectfully said, “Master, there has been no response.”
“Human!” Tianlang glared at Luo Feng, his emerald eyes filled with madness, “You’re playing me!!!”
