After Ender left via his Divine Kingdom Teleportation, the Beast God of Wood looked down at the many Universe Venerables present.
Then, he transmitted his voice to Venerable Quakebound, saying, "Quakebound, you see it, right? That Human kid will have a hard time moving around outside in the future."
"It's normal. He's a World Master with an Arcana Treasure on him, and he also has the Beast God Inheritance Order I bestowed. It would be strange if those Universe Venerables didn't covet him."
Venerable Quakebound said nonchalantly, "A World Master Level can survive a sneak attack from an Elementary Universe Venerable burning Immortal Energy. When he becomes an Immortal in the future, he might be able to suppress an Elementary Universe Venerable and have strength comparable to a Middle-Rank Universe Venerable."
"That's true. At the time, I was even prepared to reverse time and space to revive him, but I didn't expect him to survive the sneak attack."
The Beast God of Wood changed the subject, "However, aren't you afraid he'll permanently fall midway?"
"He is a Heaven-Defying Prodigy of the Human Race. As a World Master, he already has such a high comprehension of the Wood-Space Fusion Laws. He will definitely be valued by the Human high-ups and be granted treasures to protect his Soul."
Venerable Quakebound smiled, "As long as he doesn't act too ostentatiously in the Universe and attract the encirclement of many Universe Venerables, he won't fall so easily."
"If he wasn't a Human, I would have even prepared to bestow upon him a Domain-type Ordinary Arcana Treasure to enhance his escape ability."
"It's good that you already have a plan."
The Beast God of Wood heard this and said again, "I will stay here for a while longer to prevent powerful Demon race members from descending."
"Thank you, Ku."
Venerable Quakebound thanked him.
"It's nothing."
The Beast God of Wood shook his head slightly, his gentle voice carrying a hint of helplessness. "Fortunately, Venerable Xuan Mai is not a Demon race member, otherwise this matter would be difficult to resolve."
Venerable Quakebound smiled slightly, but did not reply.
Ten minutes after Ender left, the Space Lockdown over Aurora Radiance Continent was finally lifted. Most of the Immortal Venerables, after the Space Lockdown was released, left via Divine Kingdom Teleportation or instantaneous movement.
Only those who were still preparing to Cultivate in seclusion on Aurora Radiance Continent, or attempting to observe the current Beast God of Wood's Cultivation, remained.
...
Virtual Universe, Hong Alliance Virtual City.
There are over two million King-level Immortal in Hong Alliance Virtual City. Because Cultivating the Beast God Path requires talent, and Aurora Radiance Continent is only a Holy Land for Cultivating the Wood-Space Beast God Path, usually fewer King-level Immortal go to Aurora Radiance Continent, especially Human King-level Immortal, who are even rarer.
However, due to Venerable Quakebound's lecture, the number of King-level Immortal and Venerables who recently went to Aurora Radiance Continent was several times the usual, so a few Hong Alliance King-level Immortal members still learned that Ender was King Void River.
When they relayed the news back to Hong Alliance Virtual City, the group of King-level Immortal naturally didn't believe it. After all, a World Master disguising himself as an Invincible stage King-Level expert, and even surviving a sneak attack from a Universe Venerable burning Immortal Energy, was truly shocking!
A single person's account was naturally hard to believe, but as the circulating news gradually increased, and even when a blurry virtual image was finally spread, it immediately caused a sensation in the outer city of Hong Alliance Virtual City!
After a period of fermentation, the news spread through various channels to the inner city where many Universe Venerables resided.
...
Hong Alliance Virtual City inner city, in a bar where Universe Venerables often gathered.
Many Universe Venerables gathered together, with foreign race Universe Venerables being the majority.
The Universe Venerables drank and chatted, exchanging information and intelligence, and the most discussed topic was the recent incident on Aurora Radiance Continent.
"Wansen."
"Wansen is here."
Seeing Venerable Ten Thousand Forest enter the bar, many familiar Universe Venerables greeted him.
Then, a Venerable asked, "Wansen, don't you Cultivate the Wood-Space Beast God Path? Did you go to Aurora Radiance Continent to listen to Venerable Quakebound's lecture?"
"I did."
Venerable Ten Thousand Forest knew what the Venerables wanted to ask, and added, "King Void River is indeed a World Master. Venerable Quakebound personally admitted it, and even to compensate for exposing King Void River's World Master identity, Venerable Quakebound bestowed a Beast God Inheritance Order."
"Beast God Inheritance Order?!"
"That King Void River is really lucky to have obtained a Beast God Inheritance Order. That's a valuable treasure."
"The Beast God Inheritance Order bestowed by Venerable Quakebound is probably a Beast God of Wood Inheritance Token, which just happens to suit King Void River."
Hearing this, many Venerables sighed softly. For them, these Universe Venerables, a Beast God Inheritance Order was a precious treasure that could allow them to exchange for a top-tier Heavy Treasure set, or even an Arcana Treasure!
And when such a treasure fell into the hands of Human King Void River, they inevitably felt envy and wondered why they weren't the ones who obtained such a treasure.
A Universe Venerable curiously asked, "Wansen, is that King Void River really your Human Heaven-Defying Prodigy, Ender?"
"Yes, is that King Void River really the newly risen Heaven-Defying Prodigy, Ender?"
"That should be impossible. That Ender has Cultivated for less than twenty thousand years. How could he have such Heaven-Defying strength?"
"Most likely it's Ender. Among the Geniuses born in the Human Race in the last ten million years, only Ender has very high talent in the Wood-Space Beast God Path."
"If it really is Ender, doesn't that mean my original bet that Kedi would achieve greater success in the future is destined to lose?"
"Hard to say, after all, future achievements are still uncertain, but that bet has a deadline of one thousand epochs, so it's probably a loss..."
Hearing the questions, the other Venerables couldn't help but argue, each holding their own opinion, finally turning their gaze to the eyewitness, Venerable Ten Thousand Forest.
"I'm not very clear either..."
Venerable Ten Thousand Forest was vague, not directly answering, "I don't know King Void River. I only know that Venerable Quakebound said he was a World Master."
Thinking that King Void River was a World Master, and also possessed an Arcana Treasure that could disguise him as an Immortal, the Universe Venerables couldn't help but sigh again.
"That King Void River is probably Ender. Only he, who is favored by a Great Being, could possibly be bestowed with an Arcana Treasure for protection, allowing him to disguise himself as an Immortal."
"An Arcana Treasure! That King Void River not only has a Beast God Inheritance Order, but also an Arcana Treasure for protection. He probably has Heavy Treasures on him as well."
"With an Arcana Treasure and Heavy Treasures, his wealth is more luxurious than mine, a Universe Venerable."
"Can't compare, can't compare!"
The Universe Venerables sighed, all convinced that King Void River was Ender, and only a Genius like Ender could possibly be bestowed with an Arcana Treasure for protection.
"Wansen, did that Ender really survive a sneak attack from a Universe Venerable burning Immortal Energy?"
"I saw the virtual image was taken from too far away and wasn't very clear. Wansen, you should have seen it clearly up close, right?"
Another Universe Venerable asked. They really wanted to know how Ender survived the attack from a Universe Venerable burning Immortal Energy.
"It's not Ender, it's King Void River."
Venerable Ten Thousand Forest first emphasized, then replied, "Although Venerable Xuan Mai's attack involved burning Immortal Energy, under Venerable Quakebound's Myriad Hues Territory restraint, the attack's power was greatly weakened."
"King Void River also blocked it with his weapon in time. His spear-type weapon is probably a Heavy Treasure, capable of weakening the attack power by twenty to thirty percent."
"Moreover, the Arcana Treasure on him is an armor-type, likely one with low usage requirements. Its defensive capability should be extremely strong, otherwise it wouldn't have withstood Venerable Xuan Mai's Immortal Energy-burning attack."
Finally, Venerable Ten Thousand Forest hesitated for a moment and speculated, "I'm wondering if the Beast God of Wood also intervened. Otherwise, how could a World Master possibly survive a Universe Venerable burning Immortal Energy?"
Hearing this, the Venerables seemed to suddenly understand, and then began to discuss animatedly.
"That's right! The Beast God of Wood was also present at the time. Perhaps that Great Being intervened, causing Venerable Xuan Mai's Immortal Energy-burning sneak attack to fail."
"Exactly. How swift is a Universe Venerable's move? A World Master even used a weapon to block. How could he have reacted so quickly!"
"With the Beast God of Wood's intervention, Ender could indeed survive at Venerable Xuan Mai's hands."
At this point, the Venerables set a basic premise: Venerable Xuan Mai's failure was due to the intervention of the Beast God of Wood and Venerable Quakebound, otherwise Ender would have found it difficult to survive.
The reason they believed this was mainly because a Universe Venerable burning Immortal Energy in a sneak attack couldn't kill a World Master, which was truly embarrassing for them, the Venerables.
...
While the Universe Venerables were discussing animatedly, Gold Horn Race's Venerable Louli sat in a corner, at a table with his fellow race member, Venerable Lingyu.
"Ender is King Void River..."
Listening to the conversation among the Universe Venerables, Venerable Louli sighed inwardly, "The World Master Rank youngster who came to Laos World back then can now, as a World Master, make a name for himself as King Void River, and even survive a sneak attack from a Universe Venerable burning Immortal Energy. It's truly unbelievable."
"Luoli."
Venerable Lingyu, whose skin was as white and finely carved as white jade, transmitted her voice, "I remember you met that Human Ender. Can he become a help to our race?"
"It's difficult. He Cultivates the Wood-Space Beast God Path, and now he also has the Beast God Inheritance Order bestowed by Venerable Quakebound. Our race's beast god statue cannot attract him."
Venerable Louli sighed, "From the information collected by our race, Ender is someone who values racial interests very much. His personal emotions are extremely weak, and he rarely returns to his Family after Cultivating for more than ten thousand years."
"In that case..."
Venerable Lingyu frowned slightly, "We can only maintain a certain friendly relationship with him. It's almost impossible to get him to help our race in some aspects."
"That's right, but I will find a way to contact him and try to get closer to him as much as possible."
Venerable Louli's eyes were firm, "As long as Ender doesn't fall in the future and becomes a Universe Venerable, he is very likely to reach the level of Elder Golden Horn Master. We must befriend him!"
"If he can truly reach the level of the great Elder Golden Horn Master, then we must befriend him."
Venerable Lingyu's expression was solemn, "For the race!"
"For the race!!!"
...
Thunder Island, halfway up the Central Mountain Range.
Inside the magnificent palace, Lord of Ganwu sat on the throne, listening to King Sealing Mace's report below.
When the report ended, he asked, "So, it can be confirmed that King Void River is Ender?"
"Yes, it can be confirmed."
King Sealing Mace nodded, "When I first met King Void River, I felt a little familiar. When his World Master identity was exposed, it was confirmed that he is the Heaven-Defying Prodigy born in my Ganwu Universe Country, Ender!"
Hearing this, Lord of Ganwu nodded slightly, "Understood. You may leave."
"Yes."
King Sealing Mace respectfully bowed and exited the palace.
"Haha, Ender has given me a great surprise."
After King Sealing Mace left, Lord of Ganwu laughed happily, "With his astonishing growth rate, he might become a Universe Overlord expert in the future."
"The birth of a Universe Overlord expert can bring me contribution rewards equivalent to a High-Grade Heavy Treasure."
Lord of Ganwu secretly anticipated, "If he can go a step further, then the reward..."
As a Universe Venerable of a High-Grade Universe Country, guarding a Universe Country, it would be difficult to leave the guarded Universe Country to roam the Universe. Therefore, the race would compensate the Universe Venerables guarding the Universe Country.
In addition to the fixed contribution points compensation every epoch, Geniuses and experts selected through the Genius Battle or expert battles would also receive contribution rewards for the Universe Venerable when they grew to a certain strength.
Therefore, Lord of Ganwu hoped that Ender would grow as high as possible, so that he could obtain more rewards.
Thinking of the Arcana Treasure on Ender, he felt regret, "I once bestowed a secret technique upon Ender, but unfortunately, I didn't take him as a Disciple. Otherwise, I could have borrowed his treasure to venture into Original Star..."
...
Also in a Universe Venerable's palace halfway up the mountain.
"Junior Brother is King Void River, and he also has an Arcana Treasure on him."
Venerable Lingtu, having come out of Hong Alliance Virtual City, sat on the throne at the end of the palace, sighing softly, "Teacher truly dotes on Junior Brother."
"It's normal for a World Master to make a name for himself as an Invincible stage King-Level, to be able to enslave a Limit stage King Immortal, and to be bestowed with an Arcana Treasure battle armor for protection."
"If I were Teacher, I would also bestow him with an Arcana Treasure for protection."
Venerable Lingtu shook his head slightly, "When I passed the World Master Level Sky Mountain, Teacher also bestowed me with a Heavy Treasure set for protection. And while both of us passed the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain, in terms of Prodigy level, Junior Brother is far stronger than me."
"However, how did Junior Brother, as a World Master, manage to kill a Pinnacle Stage King-Level and enslave a Limit stage King?"
Venerable Lingtu pondered to himself, "With a World Master's efficiency in annihilating Immortal Energy with World Energy, killing a Marquis-level Immortal is easy to say, but killing a King-level Immortal is too Prodigious."
"Forget it. Since Junior Brother now has an Arcana Treasure battle armor, when Original Star opens next time, I can go ask him to borrow his Arcana Treasure battle armor for protection. Perhaps I can gain a great harvest on Original Star."
...
Primal Chaos City, Ice Summit Master's residence garden.
On the stone table, there were two wine cups, and Ice Summit Master was pouring wine by himself.
"Junior Brother."
Primal Chaos City Lord walked out of the Void and sat down opposite Ice Summit Master, "Just now, Desolation found me and asked what was special about Ender, and why he could kill a Limit stage King Immortal as a World Master."
Ice Summit Master did not answer, but simply placed a wine cup in front of Primal Chaos City Lord.
"Desolation is still the same, always liking to take advantage of others, but he is far better than Flame Emperor."
Primal Chaos City Lord sighed softly, " Flame Emperor went to Universe Ocean to roam and had some conflicts with Swallow Eagle Master."
Ice Summit Master's action of drinking paused. Every time he heard news of Flame Emperor, it was usually not good news.
"Swallow Eagle Master found me, hoping I could find Huge Axe or Void Gold to react to this. This conflict was still provoked by Flame Emperor."
Primal Chaos City Lord continued, "Similar incidents have happened before, and if this continues..."
Ice Summit Master put down his empty wine cup, "Senior Brother, are you worried that Flame Emperor will attack our allies?"
"More than that, I'm afraid it will become more serious later. With Flame Emperor's Heart..." Primal Chaos City Lord was a little worried.
"Ender has grown up now and will be Cultivating in seclusion in the Primal Secret Realm for a long time in the future."
Ice Summit Master slowly stood up, "I should also go roam the Universe Ocean."
Primal Chaos City Lord heard this, and after a brief silence, said, "I will help you look after Ender."
As his voice fell, Ice Summit Master had already disappeared from the garden...
