"The Silver King".
……
Of the nine envoys, three were human, and the other six came from other powerful races within the Hong Alliance, all of whom were King-level Immortals.
As the representative, King Yanrong looked at Lu Ming, his expression becoming more formal: "King Fenkong, you must already know our purpose. The Hongmeng is an alliance led by the human race, uniting many powerful races in the universe, aiming to unite and help each other to jointly resist external enemies. The alliance will never force any strong person to join, but once joined, one must abide by the covenant and not betray it. I wonder if King Fenkong is willing to join?"
Lu Ming naturally wouldn't refuse this invitation. He already knew that the top experts of the human race and even many allied races were almost all members of the Hong Alliance.
Joining the Hongmeng not only grants access to higher-level information and treasure trading channels, but also allows one to meet almost all the Kings and Immortals of the human race, and even the Universe Venerables, which will greatly benefit his future development.
"I am willing to join Hongmeng."
Lu Ming nodded.
"it is good!"
The Flame King's smile widened.
Almost the instant Lu Ming finished speaking—
"Ding!"
Suddenly, endless starlight gathered in the living room, coalescing into an incomparably dazzling star that symbolized glory and responsibility.
The star slowly rotated, exuding an ancient and vast aura, and then gradually shrank, turning into a stream of light that directly imprinted itself on the cuff of the robe worn by Lu Ming's virtual body, revealing a miniature star mark.
at the same time--
"boom!"
A magnificent, awe-inspiring, and soul-chilling pressure descended from nowhere.
Chapter 51 The Matter of Doppelgangers
A hazy human figure hovered in mid-air. His face was indistinct and his features were unclear, but under that invisible pressure, the ten King-level experts, including Lu Ming, felt as insignificant as dust and could not even look up to look directly at him, as if they were facing the laws of the universe itself!
The human figure lowered its head slightly, its gaze seemingly piercing through the virtual space and landing on Lu Ming.
"Human, King of the Sky!"
The light and shadow emitted a sound, a sound that resonated deep within everyone's soul, carrying supreme authority and recognition.
"Welcome to join Hongmeng. From now on, you are an official member of Hongmeng!"
"The universe is vast, and dangers lurk. The survival of our race requires the strong to forge ahead! Fight for the Hong Alliance, fight for the human race—this is your glory, and this is your responsibility!"
The sounds of light and shadow echoed continuously in everyone's consciousness, carrying a shock that went straight to the source.
A moment later, the majestic light and shadow gradually dissipated, and the terrifying pressure also faded away.
The living room was silent for several seconds before everyone seemed to recover from the shock.
King Yanrong took a deep breath, looked at Lu Ming, and solemnly said, "King Fenkong, welcome to your official membership! Later, detailed rules, rights and obligations of the Hongmeng Alliance, as well as access permissions to 'Hongmeng City' will be sent to your account."
Lu Ming felt the subtle connection emanating from the star mark on his sleeve and nodded. He knew that from this moment on, he had truly stepped into the core circle of the human race and its allies.
"Hongmeng City..."
He silently recited it to himself, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
That place is the true center for communication and trade among the powerful humans and their allied races. The enormous spoils he has accumulated should be transformed into resources to enhance his strength there!
The creation of clones is also something that can be put on the agenda.
After joining the Hongmeng Alliance, Lu Ming did not delay and immediately connected to Hongmeng City through the Hongmeng Alliance's internal virtual network.
Hongmeng City is a gathering place for all powerful individuals above the rank of King from humanity and its allied races. It is a place where powerful individuals abound and transactions are frequent.
Lu Ming's consciousness entered Hongmeng City and appeared on a wide street. The weakest of the people walking around him were at the initial stage of the King-level, and he could even occasionally feel the pressure of the Venerable Ones that made his heart tremble.
He didn't linger too long at the strange sights of Hongmeng City, but went directly to the "Treasure Acquisition Center" set up by the government.
Inside a magnificent temple, Lu Ming was led into a quiet room.
"King Burning Sky, I heard you have a large amount of spoils to sell?"
The human steward in charge of receiving them, also a King-level Immortal, was respectful. Lu Ming's title of "King of Burning Sky" had now spread throughout Hongmeng City.
Lu Ming didn't say much, and simply waved his hand.
slam-la-
World rings floated in mid-air. A sweep of divine sense revealed mountains of treasures, materials, weapons, and even some incomplete secret manuals.
This is the sum of his wealth accumulated over a century of war, during which he killed thirty-two alien kings and within their world rings!
The steward probed the world rings with his divine sense, and even with his vast knowledge, he was taken aback by the sheer number and variety. He carefully counted and evaluated them, especially the legacies of the two limit-level Kings and the thirteen peak-level Kings, which were extremely valuable.
Moreover, it had been sacrificed by Lu Ming.
After spending a considerable amount of time, the manager finally provided a total quote.
"King of the Burning Sky, after comprehensive evaluation, the total value of all the items you provided is... 1,073,500 billion Chaos Units!"
The steward quoted an astronomical figure, his voice trembling slightly. This wealth was enough to make many cosmic venerables take notice!
Lu Ming remained calm, but nodded slightly in his heart.
This figure was slightly higher than he had estimated, so Hongmeng's acquisition was fair.
"Okay, let's trade."
Soon, a huge fortune of up to 100 trillion Hunyuan units was transferred into Lu Ming's account in Hongmeng.
Of course, the goods will be handed over to the person who comes to pick them up soon.
The long string of zeros following the number is enough to make any immortal god dizzy.
However, Lu Ming looked at the account balance without any change in his expression.
“The Mixed Unit… is now just a number to me.”
He whispered to himself.
True treasures are often obtained through barter, and are measured in terms of "precious treasure points" and "ultimate treasure points," which are difficult to quantify using the Hunyuan unit.
What he needs now is an opportunity that can truly enhance his abilities and is crucial to his future path.
His consciousness quickly connected to the Hongmeng Treasury. With the increased access, he could access more confidential information. He directly filtered for keywords: "clone," "clone gestation," and "second body."
Information flowed across the screen, and after a moment, only a few options remained.
With his current level of authority, the number of methods he can access to obtain a clone without needing any extraordinary stroke of luck is extremely limited.
They are mainly divided into two categories:
Possession type: Seeking out special life forms with the talent of creating clones, and then destroying their souls and possessing their bodies.
This method is relatively direct, but the target is difficult to find, and the process of possession is quite risky. More importantly, it requires abandoning the existing human body, which is inconsistent with Lu Ming's path, so it is directly excluded.
Oddities: By using some naturally occurring strange treasures in the universe, users are given the opportunity to create an alternate body.
Lu Ming's gaze was fixed on the only remaining option in the category of rare items.
【Source Pearl】
Origin: A rare and extraordinary treasure that was accidentally born in the cosmic secret realm of "Star Origin Realm".
Effect: After refinement, an additional opportunity to create a clone will be granted on top of the original. (Note: Only usable by life forms below the Immortal level.)
Restriction: The genetic level of any clone created using this pearl may not exceed five times that of the original.
Price: 100 trillion Mixed Units.
Looking at this introduction, Lu Ming raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Source Bead...an extra chance to create a clone."
He was moved.
Having an extra clone means having an extra life, an extra possibility, and an extra fighting power! This is something that any strong person would dream of.
However, this limitation...
"The gene level of the clone must not exceed five times that of the original."
For most ordinary life forms with only 1x genetic level, this means that the highest level of clones can only be 5x genetic level. In the vast universe, special life forms with 5x genetic level are not bad, but they are definitely not top-tier and have extremely low cost-effectiveness.
This is why the "Source Dividing Pearl" is considered a "useless" item among many clone treasures, its value far less than those methods that can create heaven-defying clones, which is why it is listed here with a price tag in mixed units.
however……
"Five times the upper limit?"
Lu Ming's lips curled into a smile.
"That's enough for me!"
His original genetic level has already reached 100 times!
Five times the upper limit, that's 500 times the genetic level!
Chapter 52 Twin Cores
In the universe, special life forms with a genetic level 500 times greater, while not comparable to those with thousands of times greater...
It is a special life form with tens of thousands of times greater power than the heavens, but it is still extremely powerful and rare, enough to serve as a powerful supplement to combat strength and a trump card for survival!
Moreover... he also has the "sacrifice return".
Even if the initial clone's genetic level is not high, there is still a possibility of improvement in the future!
"If a problem can be solved with a mixed unit, there is no need to risk possession or seek out those illusory, heaven-defying opportunities."
Lu Ming's eyes were sharp.
"This 'Source Pearl' is exactly what I wanted!"
Without the slightest hesitation.
"Buy the 'Source Bead'!"
Lu Ming confirmed it directly.
