"Let's leave it at that for now, take it slow, no rush."
His gaze suddenly deepened, looking towards the distant Earth.
"As for Earth... judging by the time, that kid Luo Feng should be born soon, right?"
It's only a few tens of thousands of years away.
Thinking of the future Lord Luo, a hint of anticipation flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
“I haven’t touched any of the setup on Earth, except for replacing Meteorite Star with my base.”
"Qingyuan also created an intelligent clone to keep an eye on things; it shouldn't miss anything."
He couldn't help laughing.
"Tens of thousands of years is just a matter of going into seclusion for me now."
"But we can't miss this future Lord Luo!"
Lu Ming found it increasingly interesting the more he thought about it.
"If only I could take the dignified Lord Luo as my disciple..."
"Tsk tsk, this is a good deal!"
"Hmm...we need to plan this out carefully."
A sly glint flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
"Anyway, we have plenty of time, so let's take it slow."
"I've decided to take this future disciple as my disciple!"
Lu Ming sat cross-legged in the quiet room, a leisurely smile on his face.
"Tens of thousands of years is enough time for me to do a lot of things."
He first immersed his consciousness into his inner world, looking at the Nether Sea clone with a diameter of 10 billion kilometers.
"Oh, Youhai, you're still too small."
"Let's take advantage of these tens of thousands of years to expand properly."
"At this rate, it should expand to at least 20 billion kilometers in tens of thousands of years."
Next, Lu Ming began to comprehend the Dao of the Beast God.
"The inheritance I received in the Land of Inheritance can now be properly digested."
The countless secret patterns on the Beast God statue appeared in his mind, and he began to analyze them carefully.
"I have already comprehended most of the third level of the Beast God's inheritance."
"The next step is to fully master it and then attempt the fourth level of 'spatial strangulation'."
Lu Ming was not in a hurry; he knew that the path of cultivation required a gradual approach.
"Anyway, there's plenty of time, take your time."
He sometimes comprehends the laws, sometimes practices secret techniques, and sometimes studies newly acquired treasures.
The days passed like this.
He would occasionally check on what was happening on Earth.
On this day, while he was exploring the virtual universe, he received an email.
This is... the Lord of Chaos City?
Invite him to meet me on Thunder Island.
Yes, Thunder Island. That's right, it's time to build a palace on Thunder Island.
Lu Ming's consciousness connected to the virtual universe, and the next moment he appeared at the top of Thunder Island.
A majestic figure stands on the edge of a cliff, looking down at the cloud-shrouded mountains below.
The figure exuded a chilling aura; it was none other than the first person in charge of the Virtual Universe Company—the Lord of Chaos City.
"Burning the sky".
The Lord of Chaos City turned around, a gentle smile on his face.
"City Lord."
Lu Ming bowed respectfully.
"No need to be polite."
The Lord of Chaos City slightly raised his hand.
“I’ve been watching you for a long time, ever since you first joined the Ancestral God Cult.”
Lu Ming felt a slight stirring in his heart, but remained silent.
The Lord of Chaos City walked to the edge of the cliff and gestured for Lu Ming to come forward: "Come, take a look down there."
Lu Ming stepped forward and stood alongside the Lord of Chaos City, looking down below.
Countless palaces can be seen scattered across Thunder Island, stretching from the foot of the mountain all the way to the mountainside.
"Immortal gods dwell at the foot of the mountain."
"The Lord of Chaos City spoke slowly."
"The abode of the Cosmic Venerable is located halfway up the mountain. As for the summit..."
His gaze turned to the highest point: "That is the domain of the Lord of the Universe."
Lu Ming nodded silently.
“I witnessed your battle against the twelve high-ranking Venerables.”
The Lord of Chaos City turned to look at Lu Ming, his eyes filled with approval.
"With an immortal body, he killed twelve high-level Venerables in succession. This strength has surpassed that of the vast majority of universe Venerables."
"You flatter me, City Lord."
Lu Ming said modestly.
"No need to be humble."
The Lord of Chaos waved his hand.
“Strength is strength. With your current combat power, you are fully qualified to build a palace on the mountainside.”
He pointed downwards: "Go choose a location and build your palace. In addition, the Virtual Universe Company will arrange an independent dimensional space for you as your territory."
Lu Ming understood; these were treatments reserved for cosmic venerables.
"Go."
The Lord of Chaos smiled.
“Choose a spot on the mountainside and build your palace.”
"By the way, you can come to Chaos City when you have time. With your current strength, you can establish a permanent residence in Chaos City."
"Yes."
Lu Ming bowed respectfully, then leaped down and flew towards the mountainside.
The Lord of Chaos City watched Lu Ming's departing figure, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
This little fellow is even more remarkable than he imagined. Given time, he will surely become another pillar of the human race!
……
On the mountainside of Thunder Island, a series of magnificent palaces dot the landscape.
Lu Ming flew among them, searching for a suitable position.
A venerable man dressed in a golden robe greeted them warmly.
"You actually came to Thunder Island."
"I've heard so much about you!"
"To annihilate twelve high-level Venerables in a single battle is truly admirable!"
Another venerable one exclaimed in praise.
Soon, many cosmic venerables gathered around, and they all showed goodwill towards Lu Ming.
Lu Ming is still quite famous, after all, it's no exaggeration to say that his battle was known throughout the universe.
When they learned that Lu Ming had come to build a palace on the mountainside, these Venerable Ones not only showed no displeasure, but also offered their congratulations.
"They should have come long ago! With the power of the Burning Sky King, it's only natural that he would build a palace halfway up the mountain!"
"Exactly! How can those ordinary immortals compare to the Burning Sky King!"
"Congratulations! We're neighbors now!"
Lu Ming smiled as he responded to everyone's congratulations, but he knew very well what was going on in his heart.
In the universe, status and position are never determined by one's level of attainment.
If you have the strength of a Realm Lord, you will receive Realm Lord-level treatment.
If you possess immortal strength, you will receive immortal-level treatment.
His current combat power has surpassed that of most universe venerables, so he should naturally enjoy venerable-level treatment!
What if one day he were to defy the ruler of the universe with an immortal body...
Then he is the rightful "Lord of the Burning Sky"!
This is the rule of the universe—might makes right!
……
Lu Ming quickly selected a location.
The virtual universe automatically generated a magnificent palace complex for him, similar in style to his mansion on Bauhinia Island, but even more grand and spectacular.
The moment the palace was completed, all the powerful figures on Thunder Island received a system notification:
