Chapter 506

I've seen it on the news more than once!

Perhaps Grandmasters do not directly govern nations.

But every major national meeting must have a Grandmaster present; they may remain silent, and in most cases, they do not speak at all.

After all, they are the strongest in power, yet they are not particularly skilled in governance.

They all know well that for matters they are not adept in, they should leave them to those who are.

They must not interfere or cause chaos.

But if a Grandmaster speaks at a meeting, then regardless of who they are, their opinion must be taken seriously.

It is precisely for this reason that every Grandmaster enjoys immense fame throughout the nation.

"What's the matter? Just say it."

Su Han's expression was intensely focused on the few before him.

He did not activate Conqueror's Haki, but after reaching maximum level, even without exertion, he naturally radiated an unmatched aura of supreme dominance.

Even though his aura had not been released, the four Grandmasters still paused slightly, sensing a faint pressure.

Grandmaster Dama drew a deep breath, calming his emotions, then smiled faintly and organized his words.

"Last time, Grandmaster Guo Hongyu was rescued by you... after returning, he firmly stated that you are an existence above Grandmaster level."

Here, Grandmaster Dama paused slightly, glancing at Su Han, only to find no emotion on Su Han's face—as if he hadn't heard a word—so he sighed inwardly and continued.

"So I am very curious! Are you... perhaps... an existence of the same realm as the Four Saints of the Underworld?"

"The Four Saints of the Underworld!"

Su Han frowned, his gaze flickering slightly, and became instantly interested: "In the Underworld... are they beings stronger than Imperial-class beasts?"

"No!"

This time it was Grandmaster Xiao Ma who spoke; he shook his head at Su Han's words: "There are no beings above Imperial-class in the Underworld—at least none we've encountered!"

"If the Underworld truly had beings of such a level, and they had chosen to strike at us, our Grandmasters would have been wiped out long ago—we wouldn't have lasted until now."

Su Han frowned, looking at the four before him with a strange expression.

Since there aren't any, what are you talking about? Grandmaster Dama quickly spoke up: "Now, the Underworld naturally has no beings above Imperial-class, but in ancient times, such beings did exist..."

"The Four Saints of the Underworld are the only confirmed beings who once lived above Imperial level."

Of course, they are now dead—even their tombs have been discovered in the Underworld."

Su Han fell into thought, yet felt no great surprise.

He had once entered the Underworld himself and had some understanding of it; its depth and power far surpass those of the real world.

It is normal that beings above Imperial level existed in ancient times.

Su Han had once used JARVIS to specifically monitor information on this matter.

The number of Grandmasters worldwide is extremely rare—for example, in China, there are no more than ten Grandmasters.

This includes Grandmaster Dama and Grandmaster Xiao Ma.

Across the ocean, in the United States, the number of Grandmasters is also no more than ten.

The reason the United States calls itself the world's number one power is because, at its peak eighty years ago, it had eleven Grandmasters coexisting.

Unfortunately, eighty years ago, the Grandmaster who controlled the Underworld's coordinates was ambushed and killed by the Underworld at any cost.

Later, due to another Underworld outbreak, a U. S. Grandmaster sacrificed himself to save city residents by filling the rift, eventually dying after exhausting his blood qi.

Since then, the United States has had only nine Grandmasters left.

Altogether, the world's total number of Grandmasters does not exceed forty.

And how many Imperial-class beasts are there in the Underworld? According to JARVIS's intelligence, the number of Imperial-class beasts seen by Grandmasters across nations has already exceeded three hundred.

And this is not the full strength of the Underworld.

No one knows the exact number of Imperial-class beasts in the Underworld—but it is certainly a number that inspires despair.

Su Han's eyes flickered, sensing the faint hope in the gazes of the four before him; after a moment's thought, his voice remained calm.

"I'm not certain exactly which realm I occupy... but if under equal conditions, a peak Imperial-class beast faces me—I will kill it... as easily as killing a dog."

His voice showed no fluctuation, yet carried an air of absolute certainty.

With a sudden rush, all four before him stood up.

They exchanged glances, then bowed deeply to Su Han.

"Grandmaster Su... no! According to the Underworld's terms, we should address you as Su Sheng!"

Li Hongtian stood at the front, while Grandmaster Dama now stepped behind Li Hongtian.

Since he acknowledged that his own authority was inferior to Li Hongtian's.

Li Hongtian stared intently at Su Han, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Su Sheng, Your Majesty! We invite you to take the throne of the China Ten Provinces Grandmaster Hall, and become its Grandmaster Lord! From now on, you shall command all Grandmasters and all spiritual energy cultivators in China!"
