Chapter 272: Supreme Council

Zijing Island, the Beast God Inheritance Land.

In the void.

"Time-Space King, congratulations, your name has already disappeared from the Third Rank Inheritor leaderboard and entered the Fourth Rank Inheritor leaderboard; it seems the Third Rank inheritance is complete," Venerable Jiu Feng said with a smile.

Yes, just now Xiao Yu did not spend any Glory Points and obtained a Fourth Rank inheritance opportunity for free.

The previous more than ten inheritances, combined with over a million battles, have elevated all eight Beast God inheritances that Xiao Yu received to the Third Rank Great Perfection realm.

"Hmm," Xiao Yu nodded.

Now receiving inheritances is merely a reference for him, not the goal.

"Senior brother," Xiao Yu greeted first.

Since Xiao Yu killed Sang Zhi Respecter, he has entered a new circle—the upper echelons of humanity—where the lowest rank is Universe Venerable.

Xiao Yu had just seen off the Lord of the Nine Flames, and then welcomed another Universe Venerable: a bald man in a fiery red battle robe, smiling.

"Ancestor!"

For the Xiao Family now, cultivating Realm Lord level or even Immortal level is trivial; if it weren't for the Xiao Family's short existence, raising hundreds of thousands or millions of Realm Lords would also be a small matter.

"I wonder which super-stronger the Ancestor is receiving today?" the two Realm Lords said, still discussing via telepathy as they left.

Since Xiao Yu killed that Sang Zhi Respecter, he has received many letters from Universe Venerables, such as Gui Yi Zunzhe, the Dry Witch Nation Lord, etc., who were already on good terms with Xiao Yu.

"Welcome most warmly," Xiao Yu sent off the Lord of the Nine Flames.

"Junior brother, it's been bustling here these past two days!" Gui Yi Zunzhe laughed.

This Purple Fire Ape Wine costs 80 billion Mixed Yuan Units per bottle in reality, but in the Virtual Universe it is ten thousand times cheaper, requiring only 8 million Mixed Yuan Units, and it is unlimited.

"Not bad, the Supreme Council has already approved your proposal to join our human Supreme Council. From now on, you are qualified to hold a seat in the Supreme Council," Gui Yi Zunzhe said with a smile.

If we say that when Xiao Yu first moved to this mid‑mountain residence, they respected him for clearing the 21st level of the Sky Bridge and gave him a comparable status, his actual strength was still unknown; now that Xiao Yu has slain a High-level Universe Venerable, his power is firmly established.

Gui Yi Zunzhe continued, "Junior brother, although you are qualified for a seat in the Supreme Council, the Supreme Council convenes only rarely, each session dealing with matters of great importance to our human race. However, before the council meets, the Virtual Universe System will send you a notice."

"Haha, if the teacher has any business, wouldn't they call you directly! I'm here to convey information on behalf of a clan," Gui Yi Zunzhe said.

As Xiao Yu walked down the corridor, two Realm Lords performed respectful bows, their eyes eagerly fixed on the not‑tall figure; as members of the Xiao Family, they revered Xiao Yu immensely.

"What? A treasure from the heavens?" Xiao Yu's mind filled with question marks—could such a good thing really exist?

"Junior brother, what happened?" Gui Yi Zunzhe asked.

"Haha, I just saw someone off," Xiao Yu said helplessly.

In Xiao Yu's palace there are only eight attendants, all of whom are the most outstanding Realm Lord‑level members of the Xiao clan. The Nick who previously pledged allegiance to him counts as a subordinate, not a servant, so he does not need to be treated as such.

This familiar person of Xiao Yu is Gui Yi Zunzhe.

"That's good news; you were able to slay a High-level Universe Venerable, and I am very pleased," Gui Yi Zunzhe said.

Xiao Yu already had some conjectures in mind and exclaimed happily, "Does this have to do with..."

Even if another ten thousand years passed, having tens of thousands of Realm Lords appear within the family would not be a problem.

Mid‑mountain of Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes; he wanted to see how the human Supreme Council actually operates.

Within the human race, only those with Universe Venerable strength can enter the upper echelons and the Supreme Council. Every decision made in the Supreme Council carries profound implications.

During this period, Xiao Yu has received over three hundred Universe Venerable‑level beings, such as the Lord of the Ancient Wheel, the Venerable of the Stela Remains, Golden Axe Elder, and others, some of whom possess Overlord‑level strength.

"Yes," the two Realm Lords flew away.

Now the Xiao Family can achieve a Universe‑level cultivation as the minimum adult attainment within the clan.

But Xiao Yu's ambition is far from small; he wishes to tread an unprecedented path, at least one that no one has traversed in this Primordial Universe.

Inside a massive palace.

"You all step back for now," Xiao Yu ordered, "a distinguished guest will arrive shortly, and you are not suitable to be present."

"Haha, not bad, this is good news, worth broadcasting widely," Xiao Yu exclaimed joyfully, "Attendants, bring up my treasure."

Suddenly, Xiao Yu received a message from the Glory World, stating that his battle record had proven his strength, and that soon the Thunder Beast God—one of the Eight Beast Gods of the Ancestor God Sect—would appear in person on Zijing Island to preside over the bestowal of a treasure, granting it to Xiao Yu.

For Xiao Yu now, becoming a Venerable and even Lord of the Universe is relatively simple: he only needs to focus on studying the fundamental laws of time and space, merging the six mysterious systems into a complete Origin Law, and he will instantly become Lord of the Universe.

"Ancestor!"

"Senior brother, when I return from the Ancestor God Sect, I will treat you to real Purple Fire Ape Wine; the one in the Virtual Universe always lacks a few flavors," Xiao Yu handed a cup to his second senior brother, Gui Yi Zunzhe.

"Senior brother, come over—could it be that the teacher has something?" Xiao Yu said.

After completing the Fourth Rank inheritance, Xiao Yu returned to his residence to continue cultivation and assimilation, while also beginning his own study of the method to fuse the ten major Cosmic Origin Laws.

Gui Yi Zunzhe is a disciple most favored by the Chaos City Lord, Xiao Yu's teacher; he stays by his side year after year, effectively a confidant of the Chaos City Lord, often serving as his mouthpiece, with many of the Chaos City Lord's matters conveyed by Xiao Yu's second senior brother.

When Xiao Yu becomes a Universe Venerable, his strength will inevitably reach Overlord level, possibly even Top-level Overlord, which would make him a major pillar of humanity.

Gui Yi Zunzhe took the purple liquid, took a sip, and praised, "Not bad."

Now super‑strong beings are speculating, and even some who aren't averse to big affairs have opened a wager; the bet is modest—a single High-level Ultimate Treasure.

"Haha, Xiao Yu, this fine wine tastes really good; next time I get a chance, I'll definitely come back to taste it again," the Lord of the Nine Flames said.

"Time-Space King, is it possible to reverse‑slay a Lord of the Universe at the Universe Venerable level?"

"Yes," another Realm Lord replied, presenting a bottle of Purple Fire Ape Wine.

"Keep working hard; I don't think it'll be long before you stand at the same height as me!" Venerable Jiu Feng sighed.

In terms of insight and experience, they are far beyond what the Immortal Lord King can compare to.

Xiao Yu recounted the message he had just received from the Glory World, without any concealment. Gui Yi Zunzhe had previously helped him greatly, serving as both teacher and friend; these matters, unrelated to life and death, Xiao Yu never withheld from his second senior brother.

"How could the Ancestor God Sect grant you a treasure? With the Sect's power, any intervention yields at least an Ultimate Treasure. They wouldn't give a treasure without cause; typically only special beings like the Insect‑Chasing King, who have no attached forces, receive such gifts," Gui Yi Zunzhe mused.
