Chapter 126 The Deal with the King of the Netherworld
"It's actually very simple. I want your human race, no, to be precise, the Virtual Universe Corporation. I want the Virtual Universe Corporation to design a game specifically for me."
King Youquan spoke with great seriousness.
"I can offer you a priceless treasure as payment, how about it? You definitely won't lose out in this deal!"
"Want a virtual universe company to design a game specifically for you?"
Qi Yuan was so surprised that he couldn't help but raise his voice. What kind of strange request was this?
"You can report to the Universe Venerable in charge of intelligence at the Virtual Universe Company, saying that the deal was proposed by the Black Sea Venerable. Then you can contact the Black Sea Venerable directly," said King Youquan.
Qi Yuan nodded and agreed.
On the way back, Sheng Guangyu asked curiously, "What does this Youquan King mean? He actually came to us specifically for an online game, and was even willing to trade a supreme treasure!"
"I don't understand what he means either. There must be a reason we don't know about. Didn't he mention that this was the idea of the Black Sea Venerable behind him?"
As Qi Yuan spoke, he instructed Xiao Jiu to look up information about Venerable Heiming.
Xiao Jiu quickly found the information.
Information about Venerable Black Sea in the virtual universe is scarce. It is only known that he belongs to the outer periphery of the Ancestral God Sect and is a member under the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds. His combat records are few, and it is initially speculated that he is a Venerable of a higher universe.
Qi Yuan looked at the image of the Black Sea Venerable, which looked similar to the mainstream human appearance, with dark red secret patterns on his face.
He could almost certainly conclude that the Black Sea Venerable and the Netherworld King were of the same race.
Based on the information about the Netherworld King, Qi Yuan guessed that they were likely the offspring of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.
He remembered that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds had 108 offspring, and his true form was 108 imperial seas; the ones who walked outside were just avatars.
If a clone dies, it can be reborn in the Imperial Sea at any time.
This also perfectly matches the characteristics of the Netherworld King's ultimate technique. His strongest method was developed using his self-destructing divine body, which can be regenerated quickly after each self-destruction.
It's just unknown whether all 108 imperial seas have been formed at this point in time.
However, since Venerable-level and Immortal-level Imperial Seas have already appeared, there must be quite a few World Lord-level Imperial Seas already.
He wondered if he could acquire some of the seawater from the Lord-level Imperial Sea during this transaction.
However, since Venerable Black Sea is willing to offer a supreme treasure in exchange, it shouldn't be too difficult to obtain some of the genetic material of a World Lord-level Emperor Sea.
After all, Huang Hai's advantage is only that his divine body is extremely large, but in reality, it is only 300 times the genetic level, which is only considered to be above average among special life forms.
Special life forms with genetic levels thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater exist in the Ancestral God Cult.
As for the immense advantage of the Nine Netherworld lineage's innate secret technique "Creation" in researching the path of divine power, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was completely unaware of it.
Before the emergence of the Broken East River lineage, no living being in the primordial universe knew about the cultivation path of divine power.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, Huang Hai's only advantage was his large divine body.
Since the Black Sea Venerable values this virtual game so much, he can exchange some genetic material for it by paying a certain price.
After returning to the military base, Qi Yuan applied for retirement from the military.
Holy Light Feather has already comprehended the three major branches of the spatial laws: teleportation, spatial blockade, and spatial strangulation.
Only when the three major branches are fully integrated into a complete spatial law can one break through to the level of a Universe Venerable.
However, this step is an extremely difficult hurdle, which has blocked countless brilliant minds throughout history.
She didn't know how much longer it would take before she could seize that crucial opportunity for a breakthrough.
All she can do now is return to the primordial universe to cultivate in seclusion while sending out clones to travel the universe, explore various secret realms, and continuously elevate herself.
After exchanging their military labor points for cultivation resources and virtual universe company points, they parted ways, with Saint Light Feather heading back to Chaos City first.
Qi Yuan first went to the Qianwu Secret Realm to meet his teacher.
After Lian Luo's death, only Qi Yuan and Xue Wei Wang remained in the Qianwu lineage.
Lian Luo has just been granted the title of Marquis, but has not yet achieved the status of King and Immortal, so he will not be included in the clan's resurrection list.
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom is still in debt and has no ability to pay for Lianluo's resurrection.
Fortunately, he self-destructed at the last moment and was not enslaved by his soul, so at least he still retained the hope of resurrection.
Qi Yuan plans to try to revive him when he has the ability in the future.
"Master, I arrived too late and was unable to save Senior Brother Lianluo."
Facing the Venerable Qianwu, Qi Yuan's face showed a hint of shame.
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom spared no effort in supporting him, but unfortunately, he ultimately failed to save his sixth senior brother.
"This has nothing to do with you, you don't need to blame yourself."
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom waved his hand dejectedly and said, "That brat Lian Luo was too arrogant and careless. He dared to venture into the Yanji Continent with only the title of Marquis Immortal, ultimately losing his vigilance. You must take this as a warning!"
"Don't worry, teacher, I've always kept your instructions in mind."
Qi Yuan assured him.
Looking at his youngest disciple, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was very satisfied. He believed that it wouldn't be long before the Qianwu lineage would gain another warrior at the level of a Universe Venerable.
After talking with the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom for a long time, Qi Yuan bid farewell to his teacher and went home to visit his sister Qi Hui and son Qi An.
Three thousand years have passed, and with ample resources, they have all cultivated to the level of World Lord.
They have now returned to Holy Light Star, and their family has grown and multiplied to a considerable number.
Qi An bought up several star systems around him, making them the territory of the Qi family.
After staying with his family for a while, Qi Yuan left Thousand Star King and Double-Faced Marquis to oversee Holy Light Star before departing with peace of mind.
As for the other soul servants under his command, they were all left on the outer battlefield, since his main body, Tu Yu, was still venturing out on the outer battlefield.
Moreover, Qi Yuan instructed those unexposed soul servants to act normally, including returning to their respective clans after retirement. This way, he also had his own spies among other clans who could provide him with intelligence.
Especially those who were granted the title of King and immortality held high positions within their clans and were able to uncover some secrets.
Through the teleportation of the divine kingdom, Qi Yuan arrived at the headquarters of the virtual universe company and came to the front of the teleportation channel.
"It's His Highness Qi Yuan!"
"Greetings, Your Highness Qi Yuan!"
Qi Yuan had already removed his disguise, and as soon as he arrived, he was recognized by the stewards stationed here, who all came forward to pay their respects.
"Get up, all of you," Qi Yuan said calmly. "I'm going back to Chaos City."
"Yes, Your Highness Qi Yuan. Please board the spaceship. We will open the teleportation channel for you immediately. I, Rong Ge, am delighted to serve you."
The silver-armored immortal god at the head of the group said with a broad smile.
After Qi Yuan boarded the spaceship, he shouted, "Those of you who are going to enter the initial universe, there's no need to wait in line. Board the transport ship now, we're about to depart!"
Those who were queuing up here were overjoyed upon hearing this.
"We're really lucky this time. Some important people are going to be on this spaceship. We don't have to wait any longer."
"Yes, my ancestor spent a fortune to secure a spot for me in the Initial Universe. I must break through to Immortality!"
Soon after, all of them entered the spaceship, and the teleportation channel was activated.
"Respectfully seeing off Prince Qi Yuan!"
The immortal god Rongluo, along with a group of deacons, respectfully bowed and bid farewell to Qi Yuan.
They only breathed a sigh of relief and stood up after the spaceship entered the passageway.
"Captain, you were far too humble just now. No matter what, you are an immortal god, and he is just a realm lord, no matter how high his status is. Was it really necessary to do that?" one of his confidants muttered indignantly.
"What do you know! Although I could easily destroy him with my strength, his background is even more powerful than that of a King or an Immortal. Offending him won't end well!" Rong Ge lectured his subordinates. "These kinds of geniuses are often very arrogant. If we don't flatter them a little, we might offend them! It's never wrong to be polite."
An immortal deity passing by cursed, "Rongge, would it kill you to stop bragging? You said you could easily wipe him out."
"His Highness Qi Yuan conquered the Tongtian Mountain, a Realm Lord level being, three thousand years ago. Back then, after Kodi conquered the Tongtian Mountain, a Realm Lord level being, he was immediately able to kill a Marquis-level Immortal. You're not even a Marquis-level Immortal; whether you can withstand a single move from His Highness Qi Yuan is questionable!"
He looked at Rong Ge's subordinates and reprimanded them, "From now on, stop gossiping about those princes behind their backs. Remember, loose lips sink ships!"
The deacons immediately apologized and begged for forgiveness.
"Hmph, a bunch of frogs in a well!"
Rong Ge stood there awkwardly, wishing he could disappear into a hole.
Qi Yuan didn't know what was going on there, but even if he did, he wouldn't care. It was just a few words of banter between small fry and some backstabbing in the workplace.
He had just arrived in Chaos City when he heard the voice of the Lord of Darkness, "Disciple Qi Yuan, come to the City Lord's Mansion to see me."
"The teacher is back!"
The Lord of Darkness is always elusive and rarely returns to Chaos City.
Qi Yuan immediately flew towards the city lord's mansion.
"The Venerable One of Unity".
Upon seeing Venerable Guiyi standing at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, Qi Yuan hurriedly went to greet him.
"Junior Brother Qi Yuan, there's no need for such formalities. Please come with me."
He led Qi Yuan to a side hall of the city lord's mansion.
"Your teacher and your dark-skinned senior uncle are both inside. Go in by yourself."
After thanking him again, Qi Yuan stepped into the main hall, where he saw the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos City standing side by side.
It is both eerie and bizarre, peaceful and serene, yet strangely harmonious.
"Greetings, Master; greetings, Uncle Chaos." Qi Yuan bowed respectfully.
"I've watched your combat videos over the years, and you've improved quite a bit," the Lord of Darkness praised.
The Lord of Chaos City also wore a smile.
Although Qi Yuan was not his disciple, he was still a genius from the virtual universe lineage, belonging to the entire human race. He wished there were more geniuses like him, even if they weren't taught by him.
Under questioning from the Lord of Darkness, Qi Yuan recounted in detail his experiences in the extraterrestrial battlefield.
"Teacher, this is the Yanji Clan's weapon-refining inheritance token that my senior brother Lian Luo obtained. I snatched it back from the Mechanical Clan's Cangjin King. Unfortunately, I can't access the information inside. I wonder if you have a way? If we can obtain the Yanji Clan's secret rune inheritance system, the foundation of our human race will be greatly enhanced."
Qi Yuan handed over the Yanji Clan's inheritance token to the Lord of Darkness.
"To obtain the information within, one must possess a life form with the genes of the Flame Sacrifice Clan; otherwise, the information within will self-destruct." The Lord of Darkness toyed with the token in his hand.
"Huh? Then it's useless?" Qi Yuan was somewhat disappointed.
He also hoped to obtain the sacrificial rune system of the Yanji clan, which would help him enter the rune pattern path and facilitate the creation of his own secret techniques.
"Who said it's useless? You underestimate the depth of our human race." The Chaos City Lord laughed. "We've kept a portion of races like the Flame Sacrifice Clan and the Starlight Clan, just so we can smoothly activate their inheritances once we obtain them. This kind of foresight is something every top race does. I'll arrange for the Flame Sacrifice Clan to undergo gene matching later."
The Lord of Darkness said, "This weapon-forging inheritance can further enhance the clan's war potential. Combined with the Starlight Clan's secret realm inheritance, your contributions to the clan are enough to exchange for a high-grade treasure. As your master, I have no choice but to reward you."
He thought for a moment and said, "You have enough treasures now. How about this, didn't you want to upgrade Tu Yu's body to the perfect gene level before breaking through to immortality? I'll provide you with all these gene-enhancing treasures."
Thank you, teacher!
Qi Yuan was overjoyed and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
To achieve a perfect gene count of 10081 times is something he could never accomplish on his own; it's a distant dream.
Unexpectedly, the Lord of Darkness took care of everything for him!
Although it is relatively easy to advance to the perfect gene level when you are at the realm master level, almost no one has ever done it.
Firstly, due to the limitations of the universe, only special life forms born with a genetic advantage of over 100 times can continue to improve; otherwise, their acquired limits are already locked, and they can only improve up to 100 times at most, unless they break through to become a master of the universe.
Secondly, their value is too high. These treasures are worth at least one high-grade treasure when exchanged, which is definitely unaffordable for individuals, and their clans are also unwilling to invest in them. Such treasures are generally reserved for the use of the Lord of the Universe.
However, Qi Yuan's achievements, talents, and potential are all worthy of the Dark Lord's investment, so he is willing to help him.
After recounting this, he brought up the second matter: the deal that King Youquan had made with him.
"Trade a priceless treasure for a custom-designed virtual game?"
The Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos exchanged a surprised glance, both of them equally bewildered.
They certainly didn't think that a cosmic venerable and an invincible king were simply playing games; there must be some other purpose behind it.
"I'll leave this matter to the Shadow Monarch to discuss. No matter what he does, he can't hide it from the virtual universe."
"Perhaps we can also glean some benefits from this," the Chaos City Lord said.
