Chapter 723

Chaos Prefecture City, inside Li Yuan's mansion.

Hum~ A large number of phantom images appeared, rapidly condensing to form a single phantom. He looked toward another phantom flying in from outside the hall: "Chaos? What matter is it that you suddenly send me a message?"

"God Emperor Leng Ming and Quasi-Saint Yan Xu of the Supreme Star City of Han Xing have specifically named you to meet them," the avatar of Chaos God Emperor said calmly.

Li Yuan's face revealed confusion.

In the intelligence he possessed, both of the people the Chaos God Emperor spoke of were mentioned. God Emperor Leng Ming is an ancient existence with strength approaching that of an Overlord; he should be on par with the Chaos God Emperor. Plus, as a subordinate of the Han Xing Supreme, he is quite famous across the vast universe.

As for Quasi-Saint Yan Xu, his fame is also immense.

In the vast universe, across 81 Dark Domains, there are a total of 23 contemporary Seventh-Stage Quasi-Saints recognized alongside himself. As a disciple of the Supreme, this Quasi-Saint Yan Xu is recognized as one of the top three.

However.

He had absolutely no connection to these two people.

"Are they in Qing Tian Luoxingcheng?" Li Yuan asked. "What exactly is the matter? Why do they want to see me?"

Before the Chaos God Emperor could speak.

Hum~ Suddenly, endless brilliance gathered, and within the hall, another figure that seemed both real and illusory, with an ethereal aura, appeared out of thin air.

His aura was vast and ethereal, but his gaze was very cold.

This coldness was not icy, but a kind of indifference that seemed to transcend everything, perceive all things, and remain unaffected by external objects.

"Senior Xin Meng, you have come?" The Chaos God Emperor's eyes lit up.

Li Yuan held his breath in his heart and hurriedly bowed in salute: "Li Yuan, pays respects to Senior Xin Meng."

"Hmm."

"Li Yuan, this should be our first time meeting, right?" God Emperor Xin Meng's indifferent gaze swept over Li Yuan. Although both were phantom avatars, it gave Li Yuan the illusion that he had been completely seen through.

Li Yuan nodded.

He had received many favors and opportunities from God Emperor Xin Meng; along this path, several of his most critical turning points in fate were almost all related to God Emperor Xin Meng.

He had once seen the phantom of God Emperor Xin Meng from afar... During the God Emperor battle outside Beichen Star back then, he had also glimpsed the scene of God Emperor Xin Meng taking action.

However!

This was indeed the first time meeting face-to-face and communicating with God Emperor Xin Meng.

"Chaos." God Emperor Xin Meng looked at the Chaos God Emperor again: "God Emperor Leng Ming came, it is for the matter of the Abyss Sacrificial Sea, right? And he specifically named Li Yuan?"

"Correct," the Chaos God Emperor nodded.

The Chaos God Emperor was not at all surprised that God Emperor Xin Meng could guess it... Over the long ages, both he and God Emperor Juexing had a blind trust in God Emperor Xin Meng.

The direct combat strength displayed by God Emperor Xin Meng had never been considered strong.

But his other methods were simply too mysterious.

Even.

During that great battle back then, after the Chaos God Emperor erupted, he was clearly near the end of his lifespan and had already harbored thoughts of death, but God Emperor Xin Meng ultimately managed to save him.

Although he could no longer appear in the universe's space-time.

He could still be active in various eternal ruins after all.

"Li Yuan."

"If I am not mistaken, God Emperor Leng Ming and Quasi-Saint Yan Xu are here representing the Han Xing Supreme to invite you," God Emperor Xin Meng said calmly.

"Inviting me on behalf of the Supreme?" Li Yuan pondered in his heart.

"In a few thousand years, you have opened three top-tier eternal paths with a perfect ten-star pulse body... Your talent is peerless in the contemporary era," God Emperor Xin Meng said slowly. "Not to mention the history of the universe, at the very least, all living beings currently alive in the entire universe, including the five Supremes, should have never seen anyone with higher talent than you."

"Your achievements in the Heavenly God realm may not even have a second example in the history of the universe."

"Although, I cannot guarantee that you will absolutely become an Overlord or a Supreme."

"But at the very least, the Supremes should all be interested in you."

"In their eyes, you have extremely high utility value," God Emperor Xin Meng said. "It is just that Qing Tian Luoxingcheng nominally belongs to the Han Xing Supreme Star City faction, which is why the Chi Jun Supreme and the Tian Yue Supreme have not sent you an invitation."

"Hundreds of years have passed, and the Han Xing Supreme Star City has only now come to see you; it is already later than I expected."

Li Yuan understood.

After the battle at the Hundred Divine Palace, his name spread across the universe. It was fine for the Jing Supreme and the Ejin Supreme, but the other three Supremes had remained silent, which was already somewhat unusual.

"May I ask Senior Xin Meng, what should I do?" Li Yuan asked.

"Refuse," God Emperor Xin Meng spat out the two words indifferently.

Li Yuan was stunned.

The Chaos God Emperor also revealed a trace of hesitation.

"Every Supreme, as an ultimate existence of cultivation, is yearning for eternity and will be involved in great causality," God Emperor Xin Meng said calmly. "Whether he is inviting you to join the Han Xing Supreme Star City, or gifting you a spot in the Abyss Sacrificial Sea, or something else..."

"They will all crave a return!"

"You may receive a temporary favor, which might make you grow faster, but your momentum is already established. Even some help from a Supreme will have little essential impact on you now. But in the end, the causality you have to repay will all involve the 'Secret of Eternity'."

"Some things may cost you your life," God Emperor Xin Meng said indifferently.

The Chaos God Emperor just listened.

But Li Yuan's heart couldn't help but tighten.

He instantly thought of the Beihe Supreme, the Hundred Dao Emperor... Whether it was the small tomb left by the Beihe Supreme or the requirements of the Hundred Dao Emperor for his future successors.

They indeed all involved the 'Secret of Eternity' and all had great causality.

This was still the case when the Beihe Supreme and the Hundred Dao Emperor no longer existed in the world... And the Han Xing Supreme is still alive, and he has no personal connection to him.

If there is a gift, what will they ask for?

"Of course."

"I am not asking you not to communicate with the Supremes," God Emperor Xin Meng said. "But I hope that before you have sufficient strength to talk to a Supreme, do not get involved in the great causality of the Supremes."

"Sufficient strength?" Li Yuan's heart stirred: "Senior Xin Meng, how much strength is that?"

"Overlord," God Emperor Xin Meng said calmly.

Li Yuan understood.

He pondered for a moment.

"Senior Xin Meng," Li Yuan said: "If I refuse, will the Han Xing Supreme Star City be enraged because of this? Will it have an impact on my Chaos Prefecture?"

"No need to worry."

"Back then, in the same Dark Domain, the Immortal Emperor dared not fear the Beihe Supreme or the Supreme Hong Ying Supreme," God Emperor Xin Meng remained indifferent: "No matter how strong the Han Xing Supreme is, he is only from the Third Dark Domain; what influence can he have?"

"Before you become an Overlord."

"Even if the sky falls."

"Chaos and I can hold it up," God Emperor Xin Meng's tone was very light, yet it made people involuntarily willing to believe.

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod.

"Brother Brother Xinyuan, I will summon your avatar to my true self later," the Chaos God Emperor said.

"Good." Li Yuan's phantom avatar dissipated.

And Li Yuan did not know.

In another mansion in the Chaos Prefecture, the Chaos God Emperor and God Emperor Xin Meng each condensed an avatar there, also communicating.

"Enemy?"

"Senior Xin Meng, you mean, the one who took action against me in secret back then was the Han Xing Supreme?" A strange look flashed in the Chaos God Emperor's eyes.

Regarding the mastermind of that battle back then, he had never known, only guessing that it was at least an Overlord, even guessing it was the Immortal Emperor or the Qing Tian Luo Overlord.

But he had never thought.

It would be the Han Xing Supreme.

"Hmm." God Emperor Xin Meng was very calm: "The root of everything is in me; what Han Xing has truly wanted to deal with all along is me."

"It's just a pity."

"He couldn't even find me if he wanted to," God Emperor Xin Meng said: "He could only take action against you."

"No wonder!"

"No wonder you never let me enter the core echelon of the Qing Tian Luo Star Alliance, and never allowed the Divine Court powerhouses to go to the Han Xing Supreme Star City," the Chaos God Emperor finally understood everything: "So that's how it is."

"Then what about this time?" the Chaos God Emperor asked.

"Han Xing just felt threatened," God Emperor Xin Meng said calmly: "You were only a peak Emperor-level being back then, not even close to an Overlord, and he already took action... Li Yuan, his potential is astonishing, rare in all ages; how could he sit idly by?"

"He thought he hid it well."

"It's a pity... although he is a Supreme, there are some places where even a Supreme finds it difficult to influence too much," God Emperor Xin Meng said very calmly: "However, you should also prepare for a major retreat."

"No problem."

"From the day Brother Brother Xinyuan stepped into the God King realm, I have already prepared," the Chaos God Emperor smiled.

Outside the teleportation array of Qing Tian Luoxingcheng.

God Emperor Yun Yue, the Chaos God Emperor, and the others had already led God Emperor Leng Ming, Quasi-Saint Yan Xu, and the others into a guest hall not far away.

Everyone took their seats one by one.

Immediately, many puppets delivered a large amount of immortal wine and delicacies, and there were even performances by many beautiful Heavenly Gods... These Heavenly Gods were all native Heavenly Gods within the Immortal World.

God Emperor Leng Ming and Quasi-Saint Yan Xu waited patiently.

Soon.

Whoosh~ The Chaos God Emperor waved his hand, and a youth's phantom appeared beside him, immediately attracting the attention of all the Emperor-level beings present.

"Quasi-Saint Brother Brother Xinyuan is here."

"Brother Brother Xinyuan."

"Brother Brother Xinyuan is here." God Emperor Hong Lian, God King Zi Huo, and others all had their gazes fall on Li Yuan. So many years had passed.

All factions in Qing Tian Luoxingcheng were very familiar with Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's gaze swept over. God Emperor Yun Yue sat in the main seat, and sitting on one side immediately after were the purple-robed man with a skull-like face and the golden-robed youth.

The Chaos God Emperor's position was very close to God Emperor Yun Yue, clearly indicating a higher status.

This was also normal.

In terms of strength, looking across the entire Qing Tian Luoxingcheng, besides the Qing Tian Luo Overlord, I fear no one would dare say they could suppress the Chaos God Emperor.

"Brother Brother Xinyuan, welcome," God Emperor Yun Yue, sitting in the main seat, smiled: "Today is a banquet for God Emperor Leng Ming and Quasi-Saint Yan Xu of the Supreme Star City of Han Xing, so I specifically invited you to come."

"Greetings, God Emperor Leng Ming," Li Yuan bowed slightly in salute.

"Quasi-Saint Brother Brother Xinyuan," God Emperor Leng Ming smiled: "No need for formalities."

"Quasi-Saint Yan Xu," Li Yuan looked at the golden-robed youth again.

"Haha, Brother Brother Brother Xinyuan, you can just call me by my name," Quasi-Saint Yan Xu revealed a rare smile: "Although I am far away in the Supreme Star City, I have also heard of your great name."

"Perfect ten-star pulse, this is the strongest foundation of our Star God cultivation system."

"And cultivating for only a few thousand years, you have already achieved the Seventh-Stage Quasi-Saint realm... I have always prided myself on my extraordinary talent, but compared to you, I am far behind," Quasi-Saint Yan Xu said with quite a sigh.
