Volume 4: Xuanyuan King Chapter 36 Hongmeng City
The light and shadow gradually dissipated, but the sound seemed to continue to echo in Lin Yan's consciousness for a long time.
Fight for the Hongmeng!
Fight for humanity!
When Venerable Golden Axe saw Lin Yan regain consciousness, he smiled and said, "Don't be confused. This will happen to everyone who officially joins the Hong Alliance."
"The identity of this human light and shadow... is also a big mystery of the Hongmeng. Some people speculate that it is the incarnation of a certain hall master in the Hongmeng Hall. There are also claims that it is an intelligent system in the virtual universe. The virtual universe system can simulate any kind of pressure it wants, so it is naturally possible."
Lin Yan nodded slightly, seemingly thinking about something.
The pressure from the human light and shadow just now was no less than that of a super existence like the Chaos City Lord. The Lord of the Hongmeng Palace mentioned by Venerable Golden Axe was a powerful master of the universe like the Chaos City Lord.
However... in Lin Yan's opinion, this human light and shadow might be the intelligent core of the virtual universe!
The virtual universe is spread all over the original universe, dealing with countless programs every day. How complicated is it? Even the powerful consciousness of the Lord of the Universe cannot bear this endless information and cannot stand it and collapses!
However, the "original ancestor" who created the virtual universe has a servant of the Lord of the Universe, who is the Lord of the Mechanical Universe. Intelligent life is good at processing information, and after becoming the Lord of the Universe... he is even more powerful in this regard, so he can maintain the operation of the virtual universe.
"Intelligent life has no soul, so it is impossible to forcibly enslave it. Moreover, the mechanical race itself is a pyramid structure with each level recognizing the master, so there is no possibility of actively recognizing the master." Lin Yan thought to himself, "In this case... this mechanical race universe master is very likely cultivated by the original ancestor's own intelligent life."
"Thinking about his disciples, the original ancestor was a bit arrogant when it came to teaching his disciples."
It is so difficult to give birth to a master of the universe, but looking at the life of the original ancestor, that is not called teaching, that is called "wholesale"!
He didn't think any more about it.
As long as we continue on this path, sooner or later we will see this legendary figure in the history of the human race with our own eyes.
"Lin Yan, now that you have joined the Hongmeng, you can freely browse all kinds of detailed information about the Hongmeng. I will not describe it to you in detail. Before entering the Hongmeng City... you should carefully check the information and you will get a general idea." Venerable Golden Axe said with a smile.
Lin Yan smiled gently and nodded, "Thank you for your trouble, Your Excellency. Now that the business is over, let's have the feast together."
“Haha, that’s fine.” Venerable Golden Axe smiled brightly.
Although his strength was close to that of a universe overlord, and Lin Yan was only a realm lord, as a direct disciple of the Chaos City Lord, he knew Lin Yan a little better and naturally would not put on airs in front of Lin Yan, or even intend to make friends with him.
After the banquet, Venerable Golden Axe left, and Lin Yan sat in the study, looking at the detailed information about Hongmeng on the screen in front of him.
Pictures, videos, text materials, everything is available.
The headquarters of Hongmeng is in a plane of space specially opened up in the virtual universe. There are countless stars in that plane of space, and in the center surrounded by stars, there is a huge floating ancient city.
This ancient city suspended among the stars is the "Hongmeng City" where countless powerful people live!
It is very peaceful here - after all, it is a virtual universe, so it is naturally peaceful and there is no fighting or killing.
There is a strict hierarchy here - status is determined by strength and contribution, and those with higher status naturally enjoy more power.
The strength of the official members of the Hongmeng is always confirmed according to their battle records. The stronger the battle record, the higher the strength classification. The classification here is based on one star, two stars, three stars... up to seven stars. It is a very simple classification. All the strong men’s arm guards or cuffs will have star marks.
This makes it easy to determine the opponent's strength division.
All members who have just joined the Hongmeng are stars. Based on their actual combat performance, the 'Hongmeng City Subsystem' of the virtual universe system will automatically determine their combat performance and strength, and divide them into levels accordingly.
One star, this is the level when you first join the Hong Alliance, and it is usually the most common level for becoming an immortal king.
Two stars, considered a strong one among the kings.
Samsung, the ultimate king.
Four stars, the most initial level of the Universe Master, people like King Zhen Yan can also be classified into this level.
…
Seven stars are the most initial level of the Lord of the Universe. The overlord of the universe can also be classified into this level.
"Hongmeng City is divided into the Outer City, Inner City, and Hongmeng Palace." Lin Yan looked at the information. "Those whose strength is classified as one star to three stars all live in the Outer City. Among them, there are about 100,000 human immortal kings, and the other large number of immortal kings of other races add up to more than 3 million!"
"This shows the advantage of ethnic alliances!"
In the vast universe, there are billions of ethnic groups. The top ethnic groups are strong, and the other ethnic groups are weak, but they cannot withstand the large numbers. It is extremely difficult for a single ethnic group to compete in the universe.
A group alliance formed by focusing on the top groups and gathering a large number of powerful groups, ordinary groups and weak groups will be able to create greater advantages.
And on this basis, because of the advantage of peak military power, humans are still the absolute rulers of the Hong Alliance!
"After all, the Lord of the Universe is the real pillar!"
"Even if a king dies, he can be resurrected. Even if a cosmic master dies, he can be resurrected!"
The Hong Alliance only recruits those who are above the rank of king, and a hidden benefit is... after joining the Hong Alliance, if you die, you will have a chance to be resurrected by the Lord of the Universe by reversing time and space!
Over countless years, the number of powerful people has continued to accumulate, leading to the current huge scale.
certainly--
This kind of resurrection is accumulated together and then resurrected by a hall master of Hongmeng City. The time is uncertain, and the cost of resurrecting them is very high. This is not the obligation of Hongmeng. After the resurrection, they need to repay the price, and they will be truly free only after the repayment.
Their strength is divided into four stars to six stars, and they live in the inner city, which is almost entirely populated by cosmic masters.
In the core of the entire Hongmeng City——
It is a dazzling and mysterious palace a million kilometers high, like a giant sword that can pierce the starry sky. This is the "Hongmeng Palace".
There are "Seven Stars" living in the Hongmeng Palace. Seven Stars...they are at least the overlords of the universe.
The hall masters of Hongmeng Hall...are even beyond the existence of "Seven Stars"!
Lord of the Universe!
A peerless overlord who can shock billions of races in the universe even if he moves a little!
"I can't find out from this information how many Palace Masters there are in the Hongmeng Palace." Lin Yan thought about it. His impression was that at this stage, the human race had 15 Lords of the Universe on the surface, but in fact there were 18 Lords of the Universe in total. It seemed that there were 21 Lords of the Universe of the alien race in the Hongmeng.
Taking into account that the human race has the strongest person in the universe, the Founder of the Giant Axe, the human race also has better secret skills and treasures of the Lord of the Universe. Among them, there are many who have clones like the "Lord of Chaos". This shows the strength of the human race's peak combat power in the Hong Alliance.
Lin Yan already knew most of this information, and he was more concerned about the "transaction" aspect.
All the powerful people from the entire human race and many alien races gather in Hongmeng City, but which group will possess the treasure?
Of course, it is these powerful immortal gods, cosmic masters, and even the pinnacle masters of the universe. They possess the vast majority of the wealth of the many ethnic groups in the Hongmeng.
so--
Compared with the transactions in Hongmeng City, the auctions attended by the so-called star bank clients of major cosmic countries are just like playing house.
Ordinary transactions are in units of "10 billion Hunyuan". If the amount is lower than this, it would be considered a very shameful act to trade in Hongmeng City.
Some of the largest deals were even more outrageous.
If it is a particularly rare treasure, it can only be exchanged for something else.
…
Auctions! Huge deals! Elite teams exploring the secrets of the universe! Elite teams in the extraterritorial battlefield! Special organizations formed by common interests and common goals!
These were things that Lin Yan could not understand with his previous authority. Many of the treasures mentioned were not even in the treasury of the Virtual Universe Company, at least not with Lin Yan's authority.
In short...even though there are only more than three million strong men in Hongmeng City, they control the wealth and survival of humans and a large number of ethnic groups.
Super overlords like the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of the Wasteland Mirror, the Lord of Void Gold, etc. may have the same interests in the survival of the tribe, and they can cultivate their own forces to seize treasures, etc., and there are also conflicts of interest.
After all, even the Lords of the Universe have their own desires, just like the ownership of the "Earth". Lin Yan belongs to the Virtual Universe Company, and the Lord of Chaos City himself doesn't really care, but he has to consider the interests of other human Lords of the Universe, so he must demand the division of partial ownership of the Earth.
The only way to survive is... Lin Yan himself becomes the master of the universe!
This is normal.
Lin Yan has never had any opinion on this matter. It's just human nature.
On Earth, he favors China, so much so that he promotes immigration from other countries. Among human races, he favors Earthlings, so he tries every means to protect them. In the universe, he favors the human race, so he is willing to fight on foreign battlefields.
There are disputes among humans, and those numerous alien races also want to occupy a larger share and get more resources!
"Hongmeng City is a mixed bag of people, with all kinds of forces scattered all over the place. The greater the interests, the more fierce the fighting... But it is precisely because of this that I hope to sell those items at a high price. I will spend some time studying them first."
Lin Yan was not in a hurry to go to Hongmeng City immediately. In fact, the types of his belongings were quite mixed and could not be generalized.
Treasures like the "Three Forbidden Boluo Leaves" and the "Thousand Year Light" are extremely rare and precious, enough to be fought over by three-star or even four-star powerhouses.
As for the huge amount of resources that King Zhenyu prepared for the Shanhai Realm, they supply various treasures for Realm Lords, Domain Lords, cosmic-level, stellar-level, and planetary-level cultivators, with a total value of nearly 10 billion Hunyuan units. However, these are mainly used for clan cultivation, and they are all common items. If there are purchasing channels, one must identify the demand in order to purchase them at a higher price.
…
It took three to five days for Lin Yan to get a general understanding of the situation with the help of some connections.
Lin Yan, standing in his own manor in the primitive area of Yuxiang Mountain, directly initiated the teleportation. As a member of Hongmeng, he now had an additional teleportation target, "Hongmeng City".
Swish!
His figure disappeared out of thin air and was directly teleported to another dimension.
…
The highest-level plane space in the entire virtual universe, the plane space where the most powerful people gather, is the Yihongmeng Space.
In the boundless and vast starry sky, surrounded by stars, an ancient and majestic city is suspended. This is Hongmeng City.
“Buzz!”
With Lin Yan's arrival, one of the countless stars surrounding Hongmeng City also brightened slightly.
Lin Yan appeared directly in the residence assigned to him. The residences owned by all formal members of the outer city of Hongmeng City were the same, covering an area of approximately 3,200 square meters.
Compared with the thousands of square kilometers of the original area manor, this is certainly small, but Hongmeng City is not a place to practice attacks after all, but a platform for communication and gathering for all the strong people.
“Sure enough… In Hongmeng City, even the Universe Lords maintain the physical fitness of an apprentice. Their physical and Force strengths are the same. The only difference is their consciousness. As long as they restrain their pressure, it is impossible to judge their strength from the surface.” Lin Yan smiled.
In fact.
It was the same when he first entered the Black Dragon Mountain Island in the virtual universe. All humans had exactly the same physical fitness. This was a setting to . There was no difference in strength on the surface. The true strength would only be revealed in special scenarios such as the "Killing Space".
Once at Yuxiang Mountain, everyone in the virtual universe has physical fitness similar to that in reality, which is suitable for drills, fighting and combat.
"That's good. In reality, I can use the 'shadow' talent to conceal my own aura, but it's not possible in the virtual universe. This way, others won't be able to tell my identity." Lin Yan thought to himself, "Teacher told me that few people know that I joined the Hong League, so it's not appropriate to reveal my identity for the time being. I will wait until I declare that I have entered the immortal realm before arranging for the Hong League to invite me to join again."
Yes, “claim”.
There was no way for him to easily break free of the shackles and become immortal.
However, unlike in the original novel where Luo Feng uses the Yanshen Clan armor, Lin Yan is a parasitic immortal plant life and is fully capable of burning divine power. As long as he is not facing the Lord of the Universe, it is difficult to discover his flaws.
By then, his comprehension of the laws will reach the 20th level, and entering immortality will only be a natural thing. Anyway, the aliens are full of thoughts of killing him, and breaking through immortality will not make things worse, but will instead cool them down.
After Lin Yan retouched his face, he walked out of his residence.
…
This is a quiet and large community with houses of different styles but similar specifications and all two stories high.
The inner city is inhabited by the Cosmic Lords, but the number of Cosmic Lords is very small. The outer city is different. It has over 3 million residents, distributed in small communities, and each community has a fixed maximum of 10,000 residents.
Lin Yan looked up at the sky.
Densely packed with stars, endless stars unfold on the curtain of the starry sky, and each star represents a strong man in Hongmeng City.
From time to time in the distance, there are some powerful beings that are obviously different from humans, including rock and energy life forms. This kind of scene is indeed rare in the virtual universe, which makes Lin Yan feel quite novel.
"The lowest level residents in Hongmeng City are all capable of being crowned kings, so you can imagine how developed it is. I've long wanted to come and see it, and finally I have the chance." Lin Yan's eyes lit up with some anticipation.
