Why hasn’t Guren returned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the territory of the Celestial God Race, a Cosmic Fifth-Rank warrior voiced his confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could there be no trace of information?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He went with geniuses from the other four races to hunt down human geniuses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now he’s lost contact—could they all be dead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But how could dozens of geniuses all lose contact?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the Celestial God Race—the Destroyer Race, the Beast Race, the Insect Race, and the Prison Race also noticed something amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they received the definitive answer from the human race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All 216 top geniuses who participated in the ambush on Lin Qi were dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all killed by Lin Qi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This outcome enraged the five races’ warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is this possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He wiped out all of them? How could this happen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be a Prison Race artifact? They love researching self-destructive artifacts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe he exchanged one, set a trap, and obliterated all 216 top geniuses at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a huge sacrifice—I remember these artifacts require over ten Abyss Points to exchange.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though the artifact played a role, Lin Qi of the human race cannot be underestimated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because of him, our five races have lost too many geniuses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They were all future invincibles—now they’re all dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He must die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To kill this Lin Qi, we’ll need someone of Title-Rank to act.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Title-Rank isn’t enough—it must be an Invincible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Given Lin Qi’s performance, we’re justified in assigning an Invincible to kill him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a genius must die, or we’ll never rest easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I suspect other races are already laughing at us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five races’ warriors began exchanging thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all agreed Lin Qi must be eliminated, but how to do it required careful planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rash move would not succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Abyss Base,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire banquet lasted half a day before ending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top geniuses and Cosmic Fifth-Rank beings exchanged insights on martial cultivation, and the geniuses gradually got to know one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relationships began to draw closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome satisfied everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the banquet ended, the geniuses returned to their rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Qi, come with me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi heard his Master Lei Zun’s voice in his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After replying, he bid farewell to Yi Ang, Lai Wen, Mi Jia, and the other geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the grand hall, only the staff and Lin Qi remained—along with Lei Zun, Yan Zun, and Yuan Zun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-robed Lei Zun Xing Yu spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Qi, we kept you back because the Tianyuan Sovereign wishes to see you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi’s heart jolted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sovereign wants to see me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cosmic Sixth-Rank beings, also called Sovereigns, rule entire star regions as their masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the legendary Supreme Beings, the human race’s current leaders are all Cosmic Sixth-Rank Sovereigns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Cosmic Fifth-Rank beings are the backbone of the human race,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then Cosmic Sixth-Rank beings are its high command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had grown for a thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strongest he had ever met were his own Master Lei Zun and the human race’s supreme Invincible, Yan Zun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Cosmic Sixth-Rank Sovereigns, he had never seen one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, suddenly, such a towering figure wanted to meet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a touch of nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zun smiled: “Don’t be nervous—you might become a Cosmic Sixth-Rank being yourself one day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi shook his head: “That’s too soon—I’m still only a Cosmic Fourth-Rank cultivator.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them left the banquet hall, entered the corridor, and headed in another direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-robed Yuan Zun walked ahead, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In all Level-Five Mystery Realms, a large number of Cosmic Fifth-Rank beings are openly stationed, along with one Zun -level Invincible to guard them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the true guardians hidden behind the scenes are Cosmic Sixth-Rank Sovereigns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only a Sovereign can guard a Level-Five Mystery Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because the native inhabitants of these realms contain countless Cosmic Fifth-Rank beings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We fear one day they might unite and launch a rebellion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An Invincible and ordinary Cosmic Fifth-Rank beings alone are not enough to ensure safety.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why a Cosmic Sixth-Rank Sovereign is required.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi nodded—he had considered this issue before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the human race had already planned for it, assigning Sovereigns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Zun continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Sovereign guarding this realm is Tianyuan Sovereign—his power is among the most terrifying in the Sovereign ranks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Legends of Tianyuan Sovereign circulate across countless human star regions and battlefield domains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But he is a cultivation fanatic, spending most of his time in seclusion, striving to break through into a Supreme Being.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His reason for seeing you may be because you set a new historical record in the Abyss Ruins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the endless eons of Sovereign guardianship, such feats are exceedingly rare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why Tianyuan Sovereign is curious about you and wishes to meet you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi nodded—his achievements were indeed astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was perfectly natural for a Sovereign to be intrigued by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi glanced at the map on the wall and realized, without noticing, they had reached the very center of the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they stopped before a massive black metal door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a super-sized metal door, five meters tall, forged from a special black metal—Lin Qi judged its hardness to be at least Class-A metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Complex artifact patterns were woven into its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like a refined weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he could never shatter this door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they approached, an invisible force swept over their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hum!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal door slid open soundlessly, and instantly, an invisible pressure flooded the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi also felt the air around him grow thick and heavy, his body weighed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze turned to it—a vast hall, spanning over a thousand square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the far end of the hall sat a massive blue chair, upon which a figure reclined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood four meters tall, yet did not appear bulky; his proportions were perfectly harmonious, following the golden ratio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated upon the chair, he resembled a cosmic peak forged from obsidian and steel furnaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each breath, there was a rhythmic ebb and flow, like swirling nebulae.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body’s skin seemed to have absorbed the power of an entire star domain into its very flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine starlike specks glowed and dimmed slowly across his surface; under the bright lights, ancient, mysterious runes emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a long white robe, simple in style but adorned with countless golden patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>",1230,"2026-06-20T20:27:49.107Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
