Han Jue pondered carefully.
Should he reveal the matter of Lotus Ancient City?
The human race currently possessed no palace-type Arcana treasures. If they had one, the Giant Axe Founder wouldn't have fallen so easily when he was ambushed.
But,
"Master, you are now the Lord of Lotus, and Lotus Ancient City is bound to your very soul. It cannot be transferred to anyone else," Lian's voice echoed in his mind.
"Furthermore, Lotus Ancient City is the final legacy of the Lotus Clan. The Lord of Lotus can be anyone, but never someone who controls a peak race. If you wish to use Lotus Ancient City in the future, you must pass on the legacy left by the Lotus Clan, ensuring their name lives on forever throughout the cosmos. This is something the peak races could never do."
"Unless you only want the treasures in the ancient city's vault and don't intend to use Lotus Ancient City itself."
Han Jue felt somewhat helpless about this restriction.
Passing on the Lotus Clan's legacy? That wasn't particularly difficult.
But ensuring the Lotus Clan's name endured forever across the universe would require considerable effort.
Of these legacies, Han Jue first thought of Earth and his own Six Eyes bloodline.
Over time, Han Jue's grandson had grown up and even fathered Han Jue's great-grandson...
If they secluded themselves for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, even those with the rarest bloodline could form a powerful clan.
After some thought, Han Jue finally spoke to the Ice Summit Master, "Teacher, I didn't receive the complete inheritance of Lotus Ancient City, but I did enter its core treasury and obtained many precious treasures and several Arcana."
As he spoke, Han Jue produced those Arcana and displayed them to the Ice Summit Master.
The Ice Summit Master showed a hint of regret but still nodded approvingly. "Keep those two High Arcana for yourself. No one will question what you've personally obtained. However, I hope you can donate these ordinary Arcana to the race. While the race's compensation may not be generous, you can exchange them for other Arcana there, perhaps you'll find something more suitable."
"No problem, Teacher. That was my intention anyway," Han Jue said.
"Good," the Ice Summit Master said.
"Next, I'll take you back to Primal Chaos City. There will likely be other Universe Masters appearing here soon."
Han Jue nodded obediently. "Alright, Teacher."
The Monster Race had been the first to break the rules of the extraterritorial battlefield, with Universe Venerables and Universe Masters appearing one after another. Other races that had been observing would soon personally investigate the changes in Lotus Ancient City!
Han Jue suddenly remembered that he'd promised Xu Xin to bring Luo Feng back.
It should still be about a thousand years before Luo Feng fully accepted the Star Tower inheritance.
If all else failed, he could simply return to the extraterritorial battlefield then.
"Dream Demon Ancestor, Zhen Demon Ancestor."
In an extremely remote region of demon race territory, Lord Sirius arrived, riding within Sirius Palace. With a thought, he dismissed the palace and spoke respectfully to the void.
After a long wait, a voice echoed faintly through the emptiness.
"Lord Sirius, what is it?"
"Dream Demon Ancestor, the situation is as follows..." Lord Sirius immediately recounted everything that had transpired on the Lotus Continent.
"That human genius, merely a World Master, killed Venerable Hellfire?" Dream Demon Ancestor murmured.
"Could it be that he obtained the inheritance of Lotus Ancient City? Back then, even when several of us, the strongest beings in the universe, took action, we couldn't defeat the Lotus God. In the end, the Lotus God still perished in a dangerous region within the Universe Sea. Otherwise, the Lotus Clan would likely have replaced one of the six peak races of the primordial universe."
Within the Dream Ancestor's Secret Realm, in the void where Dream Demon Ancestor's Endless Palace resided, a colossal silver serpent hovered in the air, gazing toward a certain direction in the universe.
The Lotus God had left an extremely deep impression on them back then.
"No matter what, we cannot let this genius grow unchecked!" Dream Demon Ancestor immediately ordered.
"If we allow him to develop freely, he might become another Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, or even surpass the Ice Summit Master in the future. Sirius, this is your responsibility. I will have Nether Demon Lord assist you."
"Yes." Lord Sirius respectfully accepted the order.
Both Lord Sirius and Nether Demon Lord were second-tier Universe Masters who had lived extraordinarily long lives. Lord Sirius was exceptionally skilled at self-preservation, as was Nether Demon Lord.
Next,
As Lord Sirius revealed Han Jue's identity, the news rapidly shocked the various races throughout the universe!
King Star Sea of the Hong Alliance was a World Master!
Moreover, he was merely an avatar of a human World Master!
This revelation struck like thunder from clear skies, shocking countless powerful beings. The news spread at an astonishing speed, and within almost a single day, many powerful figures among the human race learned of it. Throughout the entirety of Hongmeng City, one could hear discussions among the Immortal Kings and others about King Star Sea.
"King Star Sea is actually a World Master! This is simply unbelievable!"
"He could easily kill peak Immortal King experts, and he's a World Master? Can a World Master truly be that strong? Impossible!"
"Your information is outdated! Back on the Lotus Continent, I personally witnessed him kill two Invincible King-level experts from the demon race."
"No, no, no! King Star Sea killed the demon race's Venerable Hellfire! I secretly watched from the distance until Lord Sirius personally descended before I left."
"The news is absolutely confirmed. Both the demon race and the machine race have publicly issued kill bounties for King Star Sea."
"If King Star Sea is a World Master, how could so many powerful beings fail to identify his aura? A World Master's aura is completely different from an Immortal's."
"King Star Sea possesses multiple treasures, even more than one Arcana. Concealing his aura is naturally child's play for him."
"Arcana?"
"Who do you think King Star Sea's true form actually is?"
"I believe it must be Han Jue. Han Jue conquered the Primal Sky Mountain at Domain Master level thousands of years ago and was hailed as a genius surpassing Kedi. He's been silent for thousands of years, he's probably been appearing on the extraterritorial battlefield as King Star Sea."
"I also think it's him. King Star Sea initially used a bow but later switched to a sword!"
In the vast universe, among billions of races, at least in the past ten days or so, the overwhelming majority of races learned of King Star Sea's identity, making him absolutely famous throughout the universe and known to countless powerful beings.
Therefore, King Star Sea was now listed as the number one bounty target by the major peak races!
It had even reached the point where killing King Star Sea would reward one with an Arcana.
However, if they knew the number of Arcana Han Jue actually possessed, they would probably go even more insane.
At this moment, Han Jue was in Primal Chaos City, preparing to exchange treasures for Arcana.
He carried a large number of Arcana that could be exchanged for substantial Arcana points!
What should he exchange for?
Han Jue pondered this question carefully.
