Glory World

In the silent starry sky of the demon realm, flames the size of stars are scattered everywhere, scorching the surrounding void.

At the center of the flames, the majestic Wolf Palace stood tall, radiating a demonic aura that suppressed all ages.

A two-headed giant serpent lay prostrate before the Wolf Palace, its massive body obscuring half the starry sky. Its hoarse voice pierced through the flames, echoing throughout this space and time: "Lord of the Heavenly Wolf, an urgent report has come from the Ancestral God Sect regarding the inheritance of the demon race. In the treasure trove, they have discovered the whereabouts of a human genius Realm Lord, Wu Qingfeng—the very same human genius who recently traversed the Primordial Tongtian Mountain and was hailed as a once-in-ten-million-epoch talent. The accuracy is extremely high."

The Lord of Sirius, the highest-ranking intelligence officer of the demon race, sat in the Sirius Palace, surrounded by dense power of law, looking down at the crouching two-headed giant serpent. His voice was cold and majestic: "Detailed intelligence."

"Your subordinate has been compiling the intelligence urgently and will deliver it to the Lord of Sirius shortly. I have come here to report this matter to the Lord first, so as not to delay the opportunity." The two-headed giant serpent's voice was hissing as it remained prostrate in the void, not daring to make the slightest move.

"Go." The Lord of Sirius waved his hand, his tone leaving no room for argument. The two-headed giant serpent respectfully acknowledged the order, slowly flying out of the space-time controlled by the Sirius Palace, and then instantly teleported away into the starry sky.

The Lord of Sirius stood quietly before the Wolf Palace. After a moment, a virtual message entered its consciousness—although the communication system of the demon race was inferior to that of humans and mechanical races, it had still established a basic communication network through plunder and resources. And a being at the level of a cosmic lord could easily obtain information from billions of light-years away.

Buzz! A three-dimensional virtual projection floated in the starry sky. The Lord of Sirius stared intently at it, and the image of the treasure land was clearly presented in the projection: Wu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, confronting a demon clan venerable. The coldness and sharpness in his eyes were not those of an ordinary genius.

"It's him, there's no mistake." The Lord of Sirius muttered to itself. It had personally witnessed the image of Wu Qingfeng breaking into the Primal Tongtian Mountain. Although his appearance was not exactly the same as Shi Heng's clone, the similarity was still over 70%. That unique gaze and temperament couldn't be wrong; it wasn't surprising that his appearance had changed a bit.

"He actually hid in the Ancestral God Cult, quite shrewd. But the human race didn't protect him within their territory, instead letting him stay in the Ancestral God Cult. It seems he'll remain here for quite some time." A chilling glint flashed in its emerald eyes as it pondered, "The Zerg and Machine Races must have received intelligence as well. Given their deep-seated hatred for humans, they'll likely make the first move. Killing Wu Qingfeng on the Ancestral God Cult's territory would be extremely costly. It's better to sit back and watch the tigers fight, letting them test the waters first."

The Lord of Sirius knew that while the human race tempered geniuses and allowed them to grow through free-for-all combat, such super geniuses, who appeared only once every tens of millions of epochs, would definitely be given treasures and a certain degree of protection.

"Breaking through from Immortal to Cosmic Venerable is an insurmountable chasm. King Chaman and King Zhuchong, both peerless geniuses, have been trapped at this level for billions of years. But Wu Qingfeng is different. He has passed the tests of the top three treasure lands, a feat unprecedented in history, so his talent and potential are beyond doubt. If he breaks through to Cosmic Venerable, he will likely possess the combat power of a top-tier cosmic overlord, comparable to, or even surpassing, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master of yesteryear!"

For hostile races, a Universe Venerable who possesses the combat power of a Universe Lord but can be resurrected by the strongest being in the universe poses an even greater threat than a true Universe Lord. "We must eliminate him as soon as possible, even at a great cost!" The Lord of Sirius no longer hesitated and immediately issued an order to put Wu Qingfeng on the demon race's assassination list No. 1, to kill him before he breaks through, regardless of the cost.

Almost simultaneously, the Zerg hive and the core territory of the Mech race also received intelligence that Wu Qingfeng had appeared in the Ancestral God Cult. Deep within the Zerg universe, the cold consciousness of the Queen Heart Lotus, responsible for intelligence and assassination, spread throughout the entire intelligence organization: "Human Wu Qingfeng has heaven-defying potential. If allowed to grow, he will surely become a great threat to our Zerg race. He is placed on the assassination list No. 1. Dispatch top assassins to infiltrate the Ancestral God Cult and wait for the right opportunity to strike."

In the core control room of the Mechanical Race, countless mechanical lights converged into a cold mechanical voice: "Target Wu Qingfeng, threat level: extremely high, added to the assassination list NO.1, activate the highest hunting program, mobilize the mechanical assassins lurking in the Ancestral God Cult, and eliminate him at all costs to prevent future troubles."

Humans, demons, insectoids, and machines—the four dominant races—have adjacent territories and fierce battles. The emergence of such an extraordinary genius on one side naturally necessitates their complete annihilation. Other forces either observe from the sidelines or are happy to witness the infighting among the four races. Only these three dominant races have already identified Wu Qingfeng as a major threat, and their assassination plan has been quietly initiated.

In the Glory World of the Ancestral God Cult, Wu Qingfeng was gathered with the inheritors of the Hong Alliance in the open-air plaza. Beside him were the human Jade Sword King and Chaman King, as well as the Dark Mist Clan's Thousand Rain King. "Our Hong Alliance has far too few inheritors," Wu Qingfeng remarked as he surveyed the plaza.

King Li Shuo nodded and smiled wryly: "Only about a quarter of the inheritors are in the square. There are already few human inheritors. The Ancestral God Sect distributes inheritance orders completely equally, according to territory and the number of immortals, which puts us humans at a disadvantage. The Hong Alliance is mainly composed of elite groups, so the number of inheritors is naturally less than that of other forces."

King Chaman said in a heavy tone, "The most troublesome thing is earning Glory Points. Humans have a virtual universe, which is envied by countless races. In the Glory World, alien races either don't challenge us or avoid fighting. Without battles, we can't earn Glory Points at all, let alone exchange them for inheritance opportunities."

King Qianyu echoed helplessly, "Even if there are challenges, most of them are stronger than me. Glory points are scarce, only 1 point is given every 10,000 epochs. After losing all three times, the time it takes to get Glory points again will increase dramatically. Everyone is extremely cautious, and it's as difficult as climbing to heaven to collect 100 Glory points."

Wu Qingfeng had read the black book before and knew the rules: the Glory World was divided into "Glory Square" and "Battle World".

In the battle world, you can earn glory points by fighting, but you can also lose.

Each newcomer starts with 3 Glory Points, and the minimum wager for each battle is 1 Glory Point... You must first send a challenge to someone, and only if they accept will the battle proceed. Through battles, you accumulate Glory Points. Once you reach 100 Glory Points, you can exchange them for one Inheritance Opportunity.

Wu Qingfeng listened quietly, pondering ways to earn Glory Points, when suddenly, the black book floating beside him trembled slightly. He raised his hand and opened it, his gaze falling on the Challenge Letters section, his pupils shrinking abruptly—the number of Challenge Letters was a staggering 10282, and it was still skyrocketing, 12000, 15000, 20000… breaking through 30,000 in the blink of an eye.
