Chapter 264: Glory World

The consciousness, via the sensor receiver, quickly linked to that Glory World.

In the Glory World, at the edge of the open‑air plaza, a figure materialized out of thin air, cradling a black book.

Xiao Yu stared at the black book in his hands, finding it rather interesting; the Virtual World relies on a virtual assistant to help newcomers quickly learn its functions, yet this Glory World depends on a single book.

Xiao Yu opened the black book.

On the first page's name field, he entered the two characters "Time‑Space".

In the Glory World, the Human Race is essentially oppressed; earning Glory Points is extremely difficult, and other races neither challenge the humans nor accept their challenges, so human strongmen can only contest internally for Glory Points.

Upon entering the Glory World, each newcomer receives 3 Glory Points; the minimum wager per battle is 1 Glory Point, and a challenge letter must be sent first—only after the opponent accepts does the fight commence. When Glory Points reach 100, they can be exchanged for a single inheritance opportunity.

Additionally, each epoch spawns a new Glory Point; if a newcomer loses three consecutive battles, they must wait until the next epoch, regain that 1 Glory Point, and then may continue challenging.

For Xiao Yu, he wishes to exchange inheritance opportunities many times, but not by earning his own race's Glory Points; instead, he aims to capture Alien Tribe Glory Points to trade for inheritance chances.

Thus he reveals his identity and will display his strength in the Glory World, to see whether he can reap any loot in Treasure Land.

Instantly, all the inheritors' attention shifted to Xiao Yu.

This feature is exceedingly rare, incomparable to the Human Race's Virtual World.

Xiao Yu turned to the second page, which was a map of the Glory World.

"This open‑air plaza should be called an open‑air tavern," Xiao Yu thought to himself, as a variety of fine wines, delicacies, and food appeared in the plaza's center for the inheritors to use at will, and the entire plaza was filled with densely packed chairs arranged in clusters.

"I'll call you Time‑Space King directly; it won't affect you, right?" Seven Sword King transmitted.

Xiao Yu glanced and saw tens of millions of people crowding the plaza.

"Time‑Space King has arrived; go inform the Ancestor quickly."

Fortunately, the Glory World leaderboard is divided into seven charts: First Rank leaderboard, Second Rank leaderboard… up to the Seventh Rank leaderboard.

"Why overthink it? The petty affairs among the six major races have nothing to do with us."

Xiao Yu followed Seven Sword King toward the location of the Hongmeng Alliance group.

Xiao Yu, with a 0‑win 0‑loss record, ranked at the bottom; there are even worse records, such as 0‑win 1‑loss, belonging either to newcomers or those who have just received a Third Rank inheritance.

"Time‑Space King actually came onto the Ancestor God Sect's territory!"

"No problem," Xiao Yu said, pleased.

Xiao Yu recognized the newcomer's appearance and immediately smiled: "Seven Sword King."

Simultaneously, a voice rang in Xiao Yu's mind: "The Glory World consists of two spaces—an open‑air Glory Plaza and a battle world. As long as one is within the Ancestor Divine Secret Realm, they can connect to the Glory World."

Seven Sword King nodded, "Inheritors mainly form groups according to the major alliances of the cosmos; members of hostile forces naturally won't be in the same group. All of us in the Hongmeng Alliance gather together."

"Time‑Space King." A figure flickered in like lightning, and a familiar voice sounded.

"I wonder whether the Mechanical Race will cause trouble for them in this Glory World?"

"Ha ha, Time‑Space King, I told you, wherever you go you're the focus," Seven Sword King transmitted with a laugh. "Come, come, our Hongmeng members are over there; those are groups from other numerous alliances."

"It's actually Time‑Space King."

Xiao Yu looked and saw that between the groups on the plaza the boundaries were clear; most consisted of a few hundred to a thousand people, with occasional groups exceeding ten thousand.

Suddenly he spotted a group that gathered at least several hundred thousand strong ones.

"That must be the Snow Frontier Alliance!" Xiao Yu asked.

"Correct. The Snow Frontier Alliance is weaker than our Hongmeng, yet it is the alliance with the most races in the universe; it contains many Immortal Divine Spirits and many Seal Kings," Seven Sword King said.

The Ancestor God Sect issues inheritance orders across the cosmos; regardless of a race's strength, the alliances with many races have large numbers of members within the Ancestor God Sect.

A moment later.

Seven Sword King led Xiao Yu to a group of just over a thousand strong ones. Xiao Yu recognized some familiar faces there, such as Li Shuo King, Cha Man King, and others.

Xiao Yu and the inheritors of the Hongmeng Alliance gathered, quickly befriending many strong ones.

In conversation, he learned that the over a thousand people on this plaza represent only a quarter of the Hongmeng group; although the Hongmeng Alliance's numbers are modest, they are all elite.

……

Mechanical Race domain.

In a Mechanical Temple, Venerable Pu Xian bowed before the silhouette on the massive throne at the temple's center, "Master, according to the latest report from my subordinates, the Human Race Time‑Space King Xiao Yu has now gone to the Dao Ancestor God Sect's Zijing Island."

"He actually went to the Ancestor God Sect."

"Quite shrewd, but the Human Race failed to shelter him within the clan; since he's in the Ancestor God Sect, he'll surely stay there for a long time."

"The Insect Race and Demon Race probably also received the intel."

"Perhaps they'll strike first; killing the Time‑Space King within the Ancestor God Sect's territory would cost a steep price, so they should plan carefully first."

"Pu Xian, you need not handle this for now; I'll assign it to others within the Ancestor God Sect," the Mechanical Race Super Strong One on the massive throne said.

"As you command, Master," Venerable Pu Xian bowed respectfully.

……

At the same time, the Demon Race and Insect Race received the news almost on the same day.

"The Demon Race and Mechanical Race are likely to act first, especially the Mechanical Race; previously the Time‑Space King killed many Seal King Strong Ones of the Mechanical Race on the Outer Realm Battlefield, they can't not retaliate. We'll wait and see," — the Insect Race's thought.

"Humans must have means to protect the Time‑Space King; we need to devise a careful plan," — the Demon Race's thought.

Thus the three major Peak Clans bordering the Human Race's domain are the most eager, while other forces comparable to Hongmeng watch on, delighted to see the four great Peak Clans battle to the death.

……

At that moment, inheritors of other races scattered far and wide, and many Alien Tribes took notice of the Time‑Space King.

"The Black Book of the Glory World shows a new Third Rank inheritor; it records his first landing time in the Glory World, named Time‑Space, with a note 'Human', surely that is the Time‑Space King."

"He is a Realm Lord; relying solely on law comprehension and secret arts cannot possibly slay a Seal King at the King Limit. He must possess an Ultimate Treasure or some other strange fate, and in the Glory World battles everyone uses identical Divine Bodies; even the Insect‑Chasing King has been defeated by many strong ones there. This Time‑Space King is a Third Rank cultivator."

"It seems the Time‑Space King has already ascended to Immortal."

"Immortal or not, he's still just a Third Rank cultivator."

"Challenge!"

"Haha, I'm also issuing a challenge, to bully the legendary Time‑Space King, how amusing."

From the billions of races across the universe and from countless factions, innumerable peerless genius inheritors quickly began sending challenge letters to the Time‑Space King, one after another.
