It must be known that the Hall Masters of the Hong Alliance who transcend seven stars are not limited to great human existences such as Giant Axe, the Chaos City Lord, and the Ice Peak Lord.
There are also quite a few alien Universe Lords.
These alien Universe Lords are all powerhouses from races that are subordinate to humanity. (TL/N: Universe Lord are the same as Universe Master)
In fact, within the Hong Alliance, although most alien Universe Lords are not as strong as the human Universe Lords,
their numbers far exceed those of the human Universe Lords.
These alien Universe Lords are essentially the strongest existences of the subordinate races within the Hong Alliance.
As a result, this leads to one outcome.
The daily volume of transactions within the Hong Alliance is extremely massive.
Who are the wealthiest individuals within a race?
Naturally, they are the strong.
For example, a race's Universe Lords, Venerables, and Kings.
In reality, the majority of a race's resources are concentrated in the hands of these individuals.
Especially Universe Lords.
Every Universe Lord, even those from subordinate races of humanity, controls enormous wealth and resources.
Just a tiny portion leaking out would be enough to overfeed geniuses, and even King-level powerhouses.
As for the remaining Venerables and King-level Immortals, although they do not possess such vast resources individually,
there are simply too many Kings and Venerables within the Hong Alliance.
Thus, even auctions held internally by the human race, including those jointly organized by dozens of high-level universe countries, may not match the transaction volume of a single deal within Hong Alliance City.
After all, the weakest individuals in the Hong Alliance are King-level Immortals.
Their transactions are typically conducted in units of ten billion Chaos Units.
As for transactions of even higher value, Universe Coins alone are insufficient.
Truly precious treasures can only be exchanged through barter.
For example, supreme treasures.
Auctions.
Massive trade.
Elite teams exploring universe secret realms.
Elite squads on the extraterritorial battlefield.
Special organizations formed through shared interests, shared goals, and shared benefits.
Although Hong Alliance City has only a little over three million powerhouses, it controls the wealth and survival of humanity and numerous other races.
Humanity is the ruler of the Hong Alliance.
Great existences such as Giant Axe, the Chaos City Lord, and the Lord of Qingdong may be aligned when it comes to the overall interests of the human race.
However, when it comes to nurturing factions, competing for treasures, and similar matters, conflicts of interest still exist.
After all, even Giant Axe, the Chaos City Lord, and the Lord of Qingdong have their own desires.
Humanity has internal struggles, and the other alien races within the Hong Alliance also wish to obtain more resources and greater benefits.
Thus, Hong Alliance City is truly a place where all kinds of forces intermingle and power networks spread everywhere.
…
This information was sent to Luo Fan by the Virtual Universe after he joined the Hong Alliance.
After reading through the materials, Luo Fan moved around within his Hong Alliance residence.
After entering Hong Alliance City within the Virtual Universe, all powerhouses shared identical physical qualities.
No matter one's realm, within Hong Alliance City, everyone retained the fragile body of an apprentice.
Luo Fan had not experienced this sense of weakness for a very long time.
After moving his body a bit and adapting, he began observing his current residence.
As a four-star member of the Inner City, Luo Fan's residence covered an area of ten thousand square meters.
This was already far better than those in the Outer City.
All Outer City residents lived in residences of only three thousand two hundred square meters.
However, for him, it made little difference.
His human true body was not large to begin with.
This amount of space was more than sufficient.
After leaving his residence, he began strolling around casually.
Because he was in the Inner City, Luo Fan did not see many people after stepping outside.
The area where his residence was located was a quiet residential district.
The environment there was excellent, with many beautiful scenic views.
All the buildings in the district were three-story villas like his own, each covering ten thousand square meters.
However, every villa had a different architectural style.
If Luo Fan wished, he could also remodel his residence into any style he liked.
Unlike the Outer City, where each district housed ten thousand residents,
the district Luo Fan lived in had only about one hundred households.
This was because there were relatively few members above four stars in the Hong Alliance.
After all, four-star members were generally Venerables.
As for Invincible Kings, although they were also classified as four stars,
in reality, the number of Invincible Kings was even smaller than that of initial-stage Venerables.
Luo Fan looked up at the sky above Hong Alliance City.
There were many stars suspended in the sky.
According to Lion Spear King, each star represented a member of the Hong Alliance.
One of those stars represented Luo Fan himself.
After walking for a while longer, he finally began to see more low-star members.
Within the Hong Alliance, because everyone's physical body was at the apprentice level,
as long as a Universe Venerable restrained their consciousness pressure, even if a Universe Venerable stood right in front of you, you would be unable to recognize them.
Everyone's body, origin energy strength, and other attributes were the same. The only difference lay in consciousness.
And as long as consciousness pressure was restrained, strength could not be judged from appearance.
The only way to determine someone's strength was by looking at their star rating.
However, many people chose to hide their star rating.
As a result, even this method was not entirely reliable.
He saw many people gathered together chatting and drinking.
Most of them were King-level powerhouses.
After breaking through to the King level, advancing further became extremely difficult.
Hundreds of millions of eras might pass without the slightest progress.
Therefore, most King-level powerhouses were quite familiar with the people in their residential districts.
From time to time, they would gather together to drink and chat.
Venerable-level powerhouses, on the other hand, did this far less often.
This was because reaching the Venerable level meant truly breaking away from reliance on one's race.
Some genius Immortals might still receive continued support and resource allocation from their race.
But once they broke through to the Venerable level, that was no longer possible.
Venerables were expected to contribute to their race,
not simply continue taking resources.
As a result, after reaching the Venerable level, many powerhouses either explored universe secret realms or guarded important positions for their race.
For example, the rulers of the one thousand and eight high-level universe countries were all Venerables.
Aside from these universe countries, many important human secret realms were also guarded by Venerables.
Thus, Venerables were generally quite busy.
They rarely had time to idle about drinking and chatting here.
Moreover, there were fewer people living in Venerable districts, making it difficult to gather large groups.
After glancing at those people, Luo Fan headed toward the tavern that Lion Spear King and the others had told him about.
Along the way, he also took the opportunity to explore Hong Alliance City.
In Hong Alliance City, the lowest-level residents were all King-level powerhouses.
A city where countless powerhouses gathered was naturally extremely prosperous.
Scenes that were rarely seen elsewhere were commonplace here.
Powerhouse hiring services.
Large-scale spaceship trading.
Plant life and metal life transactions.
Major auction houses.
Special item appraisal services.
New types of gambling businesses.
All kinds of shops were present.
If you could think of it, it existed here.
Luo Fan even saw shops opened by powerhouses who cultivated the path of charm.
These charm-path powerhouses were not limited to charming their own race.
Even aliens could be affected by their allure.
…
Before long, Luo Fan arrived at the entrance of a massive establishment.
Although the shop had only one floor,
it covered several kilometers in area.
It must be known that land within Hong Alliance City was extremely valuable.
At the entrance hung a huge signboard reading Drunken God Hall.
This was the largest tavern in Hong Alliance City.
The tavern was opened by an alien Universe Lord.
That Universe Lord possessed extraordinarily powerful brewing skills.
Moreover, he was an extremely ancient Universe Lord.
Through the accumulation of time alone, he possessed a vast collection of fine wines.
Even some Universe Lords were extremely envious of the wine in his possession.
Some of his wines could even be exchanged for supreme treasures.
Drunken God Hall was also the most popular tavern in Hong Alliance City.
All kinds of wine could be found here.
The term Drunken God did not refer to Immortal Gods, but to true gods, meaning Universe Strongest.
This was also the goal of that Universe Lord.
He hoped to brew a jar of wine that could intoxicate even a true god, a Universe Strongest.
Although he had not succeeded so far.
This Universe Lord was quite an interesting individual.
In fact, he was originally a special lifeform without a race of his own.
Later, he was drawn into the Hong Alliance by humanity precisely because the human race provided him with a large quantity of brewing materials.
After entering Drunken God Hall, Luo Fan immediately spotted Lion Spear King and the others in the main hall.
Drunken God Hall was divided into a main hall and private rooms.
However, most people who came here preferred to drink in the main hall.
The atmosphere there was better.
Occasionally, one might even encounter a Universe Master who came to drink.
Upon seeing Luo Fan, Lion Spear King's eyes lit up and he directly pulled Luo Fan over.
After Luo Fan sat down, Lion Spear King handed him a bottle of wine.
The wine in Drunken God Hall was not cheap.
Even the cheapest bottle cost several million Chaos Units.
It must be known that this was within the Virtual Universe.
If it were in reality, such a bottle of wine might cost hundreds of millions of Chaos Units.
This pricing was something that Universe Lord personally demanded.
Wine that could not intoxicate was not worth drinking.
Yet the weakest individuals who came here were King-level powerhouses.
Wine capable of intoxicating such powerhouses was extremely rare.
Moreover, every bottle was exceptionally valuable.
How could a Universe Lord who adored wine ever provide drinks that could not get people drunk?
Could that even be called wine?
Thus, no matter which type it was, any wine here would intoxicate a King-level powerhouse.
This was precisely why the wine here was so expensive.
Luo Fan drank with the group while listening to them share interesting stories.
Each of these powerhouses had lived for an unknown length of time.
Their minds were filled with countless interesting tales from across the universe.
Luo Fan found it quite enjoyable and listened while drinking.
Of course, he only allocated a small portion of his consciousness to enter the Virtual Universe.
In reality, his Space Worm clone was already heading toward the Locking Void Forbidden Land.
After all, the Locking Void Forbidden Land was indeed an excellent place for Luo Fan to hunt alien King-level powerhouses.
Within the Locking Void Forbidden Land, it was nearly impossible for those aliens to escape once they encountered him.
