Inside the Immortal Temple on Blood Luo World, numerous Undying sat on their thrones, their expressions grim, filled with worry for the future of Blood Luo World.
"The eighteen layers of clouds have vanished!" A World Lord quickly ran into the temple from outside, his voice filled with terror.
He had seen the eighteen layers of clouds disappear, revealing massive spaceships outside, carrying millions of powerful individuals, each radiating immense aura, all of them Undying Spiritual Gods or higher.
There were millions of such beings, and those standing at the very front were so formidable that he didn't even dare to look directly at them. He rushed straight into the temple, not even bothering with any formal reports, just bursting in.
"Millions of Undying Spiritual Gods have gathered outside, with thousands of spaceships, and even the guards stationed outside have assembled," he frantically explained the situation outside, the panic in his heart preventing him from making any mistakes.
"Millions of Undying Spiritual Gods? How is that possible?" The Undying in the hall also became terrified.
In Blood Luo World, they were supreme beings, but now there were millions of beings just like them, and these were only those who had arrived outside Blood Luo World. They had no idea how many more powerful outsiders there were.
"Calm down, everyone. Since the outsiders haven't attacked, they won't attack us. Now, follow me out to greet them. How our Blood Luo Continent fares from now on depends on how they decide to deal with us." The most powerful being in the main hall instantly unleashed his aura, his immense power calming all the Undying present.
The more powerful one was, the clearer they understood the might of true power. Although he had become a Universe Exalt, he was even more aware of the strength of these humans outside Blood Luo World.
Not to mention the previous Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, even the powerful beings currently guarding Blood Luo World were far superior to him.
He had initially thought that becoming a Universe Exalt made him a strong enough being to resist, but now it seemed he had overestimated himself.
Now, with millions of Undying outside, even if he were ten times stronger, they could exhaust him to death without even needing a peer-level expert to make a move.
As his voice fell, he had already stood up and walked out of the Immortal Temple. After a brief hesitation, the Undying behind him quickly followed.
Stepping out of the temple, everyone rapidly flew into the sky.
"It's the powerful beings from the Immortal Temple! Is a battle about to begin? Is our Blood Luo Continent truly going to vanish?"
The appearance of the Undying from the Immortal Temple made the hearts of the World Lords in Blood Luo World leap into their throats.
Undying Spiritual Gods were incredibly powerful, but facing such a vast number of peer-level experts, they would have no capacity to resist.
As the Undying experts of Blood Luo World flew into the sky, a figure appeared before them when they were ten thousand miles from Qin Hao.
"Everyone, halt. Huang Mu, they are not qualified to meet the great Star Lord. You come with me; they will wait here," Venerable Mingyi said directly after stopping everyone.
Upon hearing Venerable Mingyi's words, Huang Mu and the others became even more terrified.
They were familiar with the Venerable Mingyi before them, the powerful being who replaced the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master in overseeing Blood Luo World.
When he first arrived, some people on Blood Luo Continent had harbored small ambitions, but they were quickly suppressed by Venerable Mingyi's overwhelming power.
After Huang Mu became a Universe Exalt, he had once tried to negotiate directly with Venerable Mingyi, but he was defeated in a single blow and told to await the Virtual Universe Corporation's decision.
It was then that they realized that even among Universe Exalts, the disparity in strength was immense.
He had been defeated without any power to resist, and the secret method used was Gold-Space Laws, which he understood more profoundly, and his secret method was more powerful than his own.
"Yes!" Huang Mu dared not resist in the slightest and directly followed Venerable Mingyi, continuing to fly forward, while signaling to the others behind him to stop.
At the same time, Huang Mu pondered the Star Lord mentioned by Venerable Mingyi. To command such respect from a powerful Universe Exalt, what kind of formidable being could this be?
"Don't worry, we are likely to be colleagues in the future. Relax. Although the Virtual Universe Corporation is powerful, it will not casually destroy a civilization.
Furthermore, the human race completely abolished slave trade over a hundred thousand years ago. Any planet or civilization is protected by the race, and Blood Luo World is no exception," Venerable Mingyi said, seeing Huang Mu's nervousness.
Venerable Mingyi's words allowed Huang Mu to relax. He had been worried about how they would be treated and what would become of Blood Luo World.
During this time, he had even regretted his breakthrough. After all, if he hadn't broken through, Blood Luo World, despite its restrictions, would have been safe.
After breaking through, the changes were somewhat overwhelming, and he didn't know how to cope.
Soon, the two had arrived before Qin Hao, their flying speed slowing down.
"Sir, Huang Mu of Blood Luo World has been brought!" Venerable Mingyi said respectfully, bowing.
"Huang Mu greets Sir!" Huang Mu quickly followed Venerable Mingyi's example and bowed to Qin Hao.
"Blood Luo World has existed for countless years, and the Corporation and the race have overseen it for countless years, imposing restrictions and surveillance on you. Do you harbor any resentment?" Qin Hao asked.
"I dare not!" Huang Mu quickly prostrated himself, speaking in terror.
Approaching Qin Hao, he could feel the powerful aura, effortlessly natural in every gesture, yet seemingly containing immense power.
"You should be aware of the uniqueness of Blood Luo World and the uniqueness of blood river crystals.
Whether in the human race or the Primordial Universe, blood river crystals are a good resource. However, this resource is not something you can bear to possess," Qin Hao continued, "Now that you have broken through to become a Universe Exalt, you will henceforth belong to the Virtual Universe Corporation, with the title Blood Luo."
"The Virtual Universe Corporation offers you two choices for the disposition of Blood Luo World.
The first choice is complete autonomy for Blood Luo World, controlled by you, with the Virtual Universe not interfering. However, if you encounter any problems, you will need to resolve them yourself. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch."
Please... you... collect _ (six \ \ \ nine \ \ \ book \ \ \ bar!)
"The second choice is for the Virtual Universe Corporation and Blood Luo World to jointly develop. Virtual Universe Corporation resources and technology will enter Blood Luo World.
It will also develop Blood Luo World, creating a cultivation ground for the human race. The Immortal Temple can participate in management and periodically release blood river crystals.
The human race will also share a portion of the Gold-Space Laws secret methods from within the race with the Immortal Temple."
After Qin Hao finished speaking, he paused, waiting for Huang Mu to make his choice.
Now, Blood Luo World was beginning to integrate into the race, and its future direction depended on Huang Mu's choice.
If he chose autonomy, Qin Hao would not force him to change, but then his future encounters would depend on his own luck.
After all, blood river crystals were a rare commodity for the powerful beings of the human race.
While outright seizure wouldn't occur, coercion was inevitable. Just like Undying Venerable threatening Luo Feng in the original work, it was within the rules.
