Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Seeing the rapidly deteriorating situation on the field, Hu Yanbo instantly understood.

So what is there to hesitate about?

Is it because the supreme leader of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance is the 'Lord of the Wasteland' that they refuse?

Looking at the five major powers of the human race, among the universe lords, apart from the Chaos City Lord who is in charge of Chaos City and is most concerned about the overall situation, there are others.

Which of the others doesn't have a distinct personality and temperament?

Some are aloof and arrogant, some are unruly and rebellious, and some are even kind-faced but ruthless.

Moreover, his expectations for his future go far beyond this!

If one's future is limited to becoming a king, then joining any faction will not make much difference; one will receive sufficient support and respect.

But what if... what if one's future could go further and reach the highest realm of the Lord of the Universe?

At that time, no matter which faction he belongs to, he will be the true pillar of the race, possessing unquestionable authority and status!

If he chooses the Virtual Universe Company, facing the benevolent and virtuous Chaos City Lord who considers the overall situation, he might feel somewhat embarrassed if he really wants to gain more power in the future.

But facing the Lord of the Wasteland... Hu Yanbo thought to himself.

"That depends on how this alliance leader treats me in the future."

"If everyone can live in peace, that would be best; otherwise... who knows, Huyanbo might take over the place."

In the blink of an eye, Huyan Bo had already made his decision.

He stepped forward, looked sincerely at King Qianhuan and King Xuzhen, and bowed respectfully:

"Hu Yanbo is willing to join the Space Mercenary Alliance!"

After listening, King Qianhuan laughed loudly and said, "Good! A wise choice!"

"This is my virtual universe number. I will send you the detailed terms after I go back and discuss it."

King Xuzhen smiled and nodded, clearly very satisfied with the result.

He looked at Huyanbo beside him and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

However, in just a few years, the guy who had sought his help and guidance in "The Tower of the Void" through the virtual universe network was gone.

Not only is their strength changing rapidly, but they have also transformed into "colleagues" who belong to the core of the alliance.

In the distant future, they may even become fellow travelers who walk alongside you in the path of becoming kings.

Thinking of this, the smile on the lips of the True King deepened.

"Interesting, very interesting!"

Seeing that Huyanbo had been appointed, the other princes offered their congratulations and then left without further ado.

Although I felt a slight regret—after all, I missed out on a potential future king and the merit that could have come with it—

However, this slight regret was quickly put aside. For them, Huyanbo was just a good choice, but far from being an "indispensable" or "must be pursued at any cost".

Their conditions are based on their respective rules and assessments, and even if they were to start over, the result would be the same.

The titles of kings came and went quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the suffocating pressure in this region suddenly eased.

However, the immortal gods who had been watching with bated breath in the distance, especially the few who were also Marquis-level immortals from the core of the five major powers, were experiencing turbulent emotions!

They witnessed the whole thing!

When they heard that several companies were offering "top-tier seed contracts for kingship", they felt that Huyanbo had risen to the top in one step and were green with envy.

They have no way to apply!

And in the end, the Space Mercenary Alliance was able to offer a "Special Contract"!

This means that it is almost a certainty that Huyanbo will become a king in the future!

With ample resources for cultivation, they might not be weak even among those who are crowned kings!

"A top-tier contract..." A high-ranking immortal from the Virtual Universe Company unconsciously clenched his fist, his eyes filled with disbelief and a deeply hidden jealousy.

Before achieving immortality, he was a member of the Primal Secret Realm, carefully cultivated by the Virtual Universe Company!

With exceptional talent, he directly reached the Marquis level upon breaking through to the Immortal realm!

They only spent several thousand epochs in the Marquis stage, and they were unable to obtain a spot to be cultivated as a "King Seed".

What gives Huyanbo the right to do this?

Isn't he also someone who cultivated for thousands of epochs before breaking through to the advanced level of Marquis?

What makes the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance so willing to offer a top-tier "special contract" on the spot?

Why is it that his efforts and waiting over thousands of epochs are less than the favor brought by the other party's single breakthrough?!

This immense disparity and sense of injustice gnawed at his heart like a venomous snake, making it almost impossible for him to maintain a semblance of calm.

But he never imagined that he was at the very core of the Virtual Universe Company, enjoying top-tier resources, the best mentors, and the most complete secret techniques from the 'Primordial Secret Realm' since he was a weakling...

Despite the vast resources he had accumulated, he remained stuck at the stage of achieving immortality for thousands of epochs before finally breaking through. His potential had already been assessed by the company's internal human resources department as exhausted, making it difficult for him to receive any further significant investment.

And what about Huyanbo?

A lone traveler, with no background or support, must fight and compete for all resources with his own life!

The total amount of resources he can enjoy is probably far less than a fraction of what a genius in a primeval secret realm can enjoy!

Even under such difficult conditions, Hu Yanbo not only cultivated step by step to the Marquis level, but his momentum did not diminish!

Now, having merely entered Chaos City and enjoyed the basic privilege that every core member has the opportunity to receive (comprehending the Chaos Stele), he immediately achieved a breakthrough!

Isn't this a sign of an even more terrifying and astonishing potential?

Doesn't this further demonstrate that its future holds limitless possibilities?

What he envied was precisely the fact that others had achieved more dazzling success with far fewer resources than he had!

This is precisely the advantage that Huyanbo has in the eyes of all parties, enabling him to obtain at least a top-tier seed for the title of king!

Hu Yanbo could naturally feel the complex, scorching, and even malicious gazes coming from all directions, but he remained unmoved and even felt it was somewhat natural.

A person who is not envied is mediocre. How could he not understand this principle after living for 60 million years?

At this moment, the voice of the Thousand Illusions King rang in his mind again: "Hu Yanbo, your core member status has been initially entered into the alliance system."

"From now on, you will enjoy all the basic privileges and benefits of the Alliance's core layer. I will provide further details regarding the 'Special Contract' later."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished like a phantom, clearly leaving to handle the follow-up matters.

King Xuzhen patted Huyan Bo on the shoulder forcefully, his face filled with undisguised admiration and encouragement: "Kid! Seize this opportunity and keep it up! You have a long road ahead!"

After saying that, King Xuzhen also transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot, leaving Huyan Bo standing alone on the rooftop.

The invisible pressure around me completely dissipated, but the gazes filled with various emotions did not diminish.

Hu Yanbo merely glanced around indifferently before ignoring the area and flying away towards his residence.

What do other people's envy and jealousy have to do with him?
