"He's collecting the armor pearls nurtured by the Robbery Armor…"
Sitting Mountain Guest, clad in cyan armor, sat suspended high in that Special Space, the previous scene causing him to fall into a brief thought.
"If it truly is him, perhaps he really can discover the secret of those armor pearls, but manufacturing similar armors in bulk won't be easy."
He murmured, "He has always resided in the Human Race's Primal Secret Realm, Thousand Treasure River Territory. It's very difficult for me to observe his actions…"
The Primal Secret Realm is one of the Human Race's most core regions, with extremely strict defenses, especially the Thousand Treasure River Territory and the Primal Universe passage. Even he might be discovered.
To avoid exposing himself, Sitting Mountain Guest, though paying attention to Ender, did not go to the Human Race's Primal Secret Realm, only frequently monitoring news of the Human Race.
"Currently, he is still only a Universe Venerable. If he truly is him, then he will definitely go to Flowing Overlapping Mountains in the future!"
Sitting Mountain Guest gently moved his hand, and the image displaying King Blazing Sand and others dissipated into countless specks of light.
…
Virtual Universe, Thunder Island Central Mountains, mountaintop.
Ender sat on the throne at the end of the palace, his eyes half-closed, as if in slumber.
Only a very small part of his consciousness was here; his human main body was currently Cultivating the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body.
"Master."
Suddenly, a white light flashed, and King Blazing Sand appeared in the palace, respectfully prostrated on the ground.
Ender slowly opened his eyes, "What, did you get the goods?"
"Yes, Master, we captured a total of 7 Flame God Race World Master and ordinary Immortal."
King Blazing Sand respectfully replied, "There are 3 complete black armors, one complete silver armor, and one complete gold armor."
"Not bad, the gold armor has also been obtained. King Aurora didn't waste the opportunity to acquire a Heavy Treasure."
Ender praised softly, "Since the gold armor is in hand, let him choose one Heavy Treasure from those on your person…"
"If he is not satisfied with the Heavy Treasures on your person, he can inform you of the form of the Heavy Treasure he needs."
"Yes."
King Blazing Sand bowed respectfully, then transformed into a white light and disappeared.
Seeing King Blazing Sand leave, Ender murmured to himself, "The Flame God Race and the armor are in hand. Once the items are sent back, I can begin research. I wonder if I can research their Special Space…"
…
Star Tower Space.
Three King-level Immortal floated in the air. King Aurora and King Chi Mie watched King Blazing Sand, both a little nervous.
King Blazing Sand's face showed immense respect, clearly reporting the situation in the Virtual Universe.
"I wonder if Venerable Void River is satisfied…"
King Aurora felt uneasy, as it concerned whether he could obtain a Heavy Treasure.
And King Chi Mie wanted to curry favor with Venerable Void River.
He knew that Venerable Void River was a newly rising Seven Star Overlord of the Human Race. If he could curry favor with Venerable Void River, it would be of great benefit to the development of his race.
Thus, under the expectant gazes of the two, King Blazing Sand slowly spoke, "King Aurora, you completed the mission, and Master is very satisfied."
"Master once promised that as long as you completed the mission, you could obtain a Heavy Treasure."
King Blazing Sand continued, "I have two Heavy Treasures on me: a claw-type Heavy Treasure and an armor Heavy Treasure. You can choose one."
"Heavy Treasure, it's actually a Heavy Treasure!"
King Chi Mie felt very envious, "I didn't expect King Aurora to actually receive a Heavy Treasure from Venerable Void River."
"No wonder he was willing to pay hundreds of billions of Mixed units to ask me, an Invincible King Immortal, for help. It turns out it was to obtain a Heavy Treasure."
"Wait a minute! Just now they were so nervous about King Raging Waves's gold armor, fearing damage. Could it be…"
King Chi Mie's eyes lit up, "That gold armor was ordered to be collected by Venerable Void River!"
"Claw-type and armor…"
King Aurora frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Neither of the two Heavy Treasures on Shalie's person were what he needed.
As the Lord of Ganwu's strongest subordinate, he had also received a reward from the Lord of Ganwu, and the armor he had refined was a Heavy Treasure.
Seeing that King Aurora seemed dissatisfied with the Heavy Treasures on his person, King Blazing Sand said again, "Master also said that if you are not satisfied with the two Heavy Treasures on my person, you can state the form of the Heavy Treasure you need."
"Thank you, Venerable Void River."
King Aurora immediately showed joy, "I need a longsword Heavy Treasure of the light or Time Law type."
"I will report this to Master right away."
Soon, King Blazing Sand nodded respectfully and said, "Master said that the Heavy Treasure you desire will be handed over to you by the Lord of Ganwu."
"Understood."
King Aurora smiled and nodded.
King Blazing Sand said, "Let's exit the Star Tower first, then each of us will leave the Extraterritorial Battlefield."
King Aurora and King Chi Mie had no objections to this, so the three, relying on their extraordinary strength, successfully exited the Star Tower.
…
Outside the Star Tower.
King Aurora summoned an Immortal plant life, ordering it to use Divine Kingdom Teleportation to return to the Ganwu Universe Country.
When King Blazing Sand prepared to leave in the same manner, he was stopped by King Chi Mie.
"King Blazing Sand, please wait!"
King Chi Mie transmitted his voice loudly, "I wish to request an audience with Venerable Void River."
"Hmm?"
King Blazing Sand, upon hearing this, was unsure how to reply.
If King Chi Mie was just an Invincible King from the Human faction in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, he wouldn't have bothered with him, but he was a member of the Hong Alliance.
The Hong Alliance, this is an Alliance primarily composed of Human Race, and the races within are allies of the Human Race. He had to show some respect.
"King Chi Mie, may I ask what important matter you have for requesting an audience with Master?" King Blazing Sand inquired.
"I wish to serve Venerable Void River. Could you please convey this?" King Chi Mie continued to transmit his voice.
"Please wait, I will contact Master now."
Hearing this, King Blazing Sand dared not delay and his consciousness entered the Virtual Universe.
…
Virtual Universe, inside the palace.
"You mean…"
Ender sat on the throne, gently tapping the armrest with one hand, and asked, "King Chi Mie wants to serve me?"
"Yes, Master." King Blazing Sand nodded.
"Interesting, the first King-level Immortal to express a desire to serve me is actually a four-star Invincible King from the Hong Alliance."
Ender showed a look of regret, "Unfortunately, he is an alien King-level Immortal…"
If King Chi Mie were a Human Race King-level Immortal, he naturally wouldn't refuse him, and would even give him treatment no less than Mullie's, along with some resources for Cultivate.
However, the other party is an alien King-level Immortal. Even if they are allies within the Hong Alliance, they are still aliens after all!
As the saying goes, if they are not of my race, their hearts must be different!
Many aliens within the Hong Alliance join to gain protection, relying on the Hong Alliance as a large tree to shield them from wind and rain.
Their loyalty to the Hong Alliance is limited, and the vast majority prioritize their own race. As long as it benefits their race, their identity as a Hong Alliance member can be discarded.
More importantly, if an alien Invincible King is taken under his command, how would other Human Race Immortal feel with an alien powerhouse above them when they join his command in the future?
Therefore, for both emotional and logical reasons, Ender would not accept King Chi Mie as a subordinate Immortal.
"Inform King Chi Mie."
After expressing his regret, Ender said softly, "Serving under my command is out of the question, but if I have a need, I will consider asking him to do things, and the rewards will not be stingy."
"Yes."
King Blazing Sand bowed respectfully, then his consciousness left the Virtual Universe.
…
Outside the Star Tower.
After King Chi Mie said those words, he waited anxiously.
Although Venerable Void River was not a Universe Master, he was a Top-tier Universe Overlord, no less than an ordinary Universe Master!
He was very much looking forward to serving such a Human Race Seven Star Overlord. Once successful, it would be of great benefit to him and his race.
"King Chi Mie, Master asked me to convey to you…"
After his consciousness returned, King Blazing Sand relayed the message.
"I was rejected…"
King Chi Mie's expression subtly changed upon hearing this, "Though it was expected, I'm still so unwilling!"
"King Chi Mie, I'll go back and report first."
With that, King Blazing Sand took out an Immortal plant life and ordered its Divine Kingdom Teleportation to leave.
Seeing King Blazing Sand leave, King Chi Mie finally sighed softly.
"Thankfully it was a private voice transmission. If King Aurora were here, I would have lost all face."
He sighed to himself, "If I were Human Race, Venerable Void River would certainly not refuse, but unfortunately, I am not…"
"However, the outcome isn't too bad. At least the worst-case scenario I anticipated didn't happen."
"Although I didn't get to serve under Venerable Void River, at least I left some impression. Perhaps Venerable Void River will remember me if he needs something in the future."
King Chi Mie murmured, "Given Venerable Void River's status and position, as long as I do things for him, rewards will definitely not be lacking. Even if it's only half the reward of King Aurora, it's enough for me to exchange for a pseudo Heavy Treasure!"
He knew that Venerable Void River's strength and status were extremely high. The Human Race only had three Top-tier Universe Overlords, and Venerable Void River was publicly recognized as the fourth Top-tier Universe Overlord!
"It's time to go back. This trip to the Extraterritorial Battlefield has been quite fruitful. Just the Mixed units alone amount to hundreds of billions, and more importantly, I've established a slight connection with Venerable Void River…"
King Chi Mie released an Immortal plant life and disappeared in the light of Divine Kingdom Teleportation.
…
Primal Secret Realm, Thousand Treasure River Territory.
At the end of the majestic and magnificent palace.
Ender sat on the throne, with three black armors floating before him, which were precisely the Soldier Armor of the Flame God Race.
"These mass-produced armors have identical secret pattern structures…"
He studied them carefully, "Most of the secret patterns I haven't seen before. This seems to be the Special Space of the Soldier Armor. It will require a long period of research."
"Very well, I'll research it slowly, and Cultivate the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body at the same time."
Thinking this, Ender activated the amplitude Secret Technique, Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body, while simultaneously dedicating part of his mind to researching the Special Space of the Flame God Race's Soldier Armor.
As a Top-tier Universe Overlord level powerhouse, his current amplitude was only 63 times, still a considerable distance from the 100 times upper limit.
If he were Cultivating other body amplitude Secret Techniques, then through the superposition of multiple Secret Techniques, it would be easy to reach 100 times amplitude.
But the problem is, the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body is a very special Secret Technique. It has exclusivity over other body amplitude Secret Techniques and cannot be compatible or superimposed with them.
And the reason he was unwilling to give up the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body Secret Technique was because the last layer of this Secret Technique allowed for the free shrinking of the divine body.
And as long as the divine body was not enlarged, there would be no reduction in strength, possessing some characteristics of a True God with Boundless Divine Might above 90,000 times the genetic Rank of the gene flow.
Like other powerhouses in the Primal Universe, to display their full strength, they often needed to reveal their true divine body.
This is also why he, who often fought with a divine body of around 2 meters, was considered by many to have a small divine body volume.
…
Time flowed, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed.
During these ten thousand years, Ender never left the palace, Cultivating the body amplitude Secret Technique Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body while researching the Soldier Armor, General Armor, and King Armor of the Flame God Race.
Perhaps it was due to Cultivating the Nine Revolutions Yuan Heavy Body Refining Method to the fifth layer that his speed in Cultivating the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body was extremely fast.
It only took him less than seven thousand years to Cultivate to the Perfection of 100 times body amplitude, far exceeding his anticipated tens of thousands of years.
And after ten thousand years of research, the Special Space of the Flame God Race Armor was finally successfully deciphered by Ender!
"Interesting, truly interesting!"
Ender looked at the black, silver, and gold armors floating before him and thought, "These armors actually utilize gene locks."
"If you are not of the Flame God Race, you cannot use these armors."
"If you want to use them, you either have to Possess a Flame God Race person, or change your own genetic structure, reorganizing it according to the gene sequence that unlocks the gene lock…"
He murmured, "Actually, there's another way, which is to change the secret patterns on these armors, but that would be no different from customization, and the basic strength amplification effect would be significantly reduced."
"So, rather than changing the secret patterns on these armors, it's better to customize armors based on other people's genes, which would result in higher quality armors."
"However, based on my ten thousand years of research on Flame God Race Armor and genes, it seems I can at most refine custom armors of Heavy Treasure Rank…"
"And in terms of basic strength amplification, most of them can't compare to the Flame God Race's General Armor and King Armor."
Ender frowned slightly, "Ultimately, it's still a matter of insufficient genetic Rank. If my genetic research was deep enough, I could completely refine armors better than those Flame God Race Armors!"
Under similar circumstances, a carefully customized armor naturally surpasses a series of armor pearls mass-produced by the Robbery Armor.
"Let's set the Flame God Race Armor aside for now. It's not too late to refine better armors after I become a Universe Master and research genes in the future."
Ender put away the black, silver, and gold armors. Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, "That's right! I can customize armors for my elder brother and the others based on their genes to enhance their combat power!"
With his current understanding of genes and his refining Rank, which was sufficient to refine Heavy Treasures, if he were to customize armors for his elder brother and others based on their genes.
The Heavy Treasure armors he refined might even be stronger than the Soldier Armor in terms of basic strength amplification!
The Flame God Race Soldier Armor can grant the wearer 1000 times the Peak World Master's power, equivalent to the basic strength of a Marquis-level Immortal.
With Nineteen's Law comprehension, wearing an armor that grants 1000 times the Peak World Master's power would give him strength no less than a Marquis-level Immortal.
Even his elder brother, whose Law comprehension barely reached the Eleventh Level of the Tongtian Bridge, wearing an armor of that Rank, would still possess the strength of an Immortal Military Lord, high Rank or Pinnacle, greatly enhancing his life-saving ability.
Thinking of this, Ender eagerly sent emails to his elder brother and Nineteen.
…
Outside the Human Territory.
In a Secret Realm often frequented by World Master Immortal.
Nineteen, Arthur Royce, had just killed a formidable World Master and hid in a temporarily opened hideout to rest and recover from his injuries.
He was somewhat surprised when he received Ender's email, as this was the first time Ender had contacted him after ten thousand years of seclusion.
