Lion Demon then stepped forward and asked, "Lord Manluo, what will I be required to do after joining the Virtual Universe Company?"

"After you join the Virtual Universe Company, you will be relatively weak in the early stages. The company will provide you with systematic training, and the management will be relatively strict. You must obey arrangements, participate in training, and complete various life-or-death tests. However, as your strength improves, your authority will gradually expand."

Manlu explained softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lion Demon hesitated.

He was once the ruler of a planet, used to being free and unrestrained in his hometown. It was only because he was bored that he ventured into the universe. He couldn't stand being controlled by others everywhere.

Baiyuan went straight to the point and said, "Lady Manluo, I would like to apply to become an external member."

Manlu looked at him, as if she had expected it.

"As expected, given your origins in the Blade Clan, there was indeed no need for you to join a branch of the Virtual Universe Company."

True strength lies in the yearning for freedom and the unwillingness to be bound by rules.

After all, the Blade Clan is an immortal-level power. With the talent that Bai Yuan has shown, he will definitely receive special training upon returning to the clan, and he will not lack resources or secret techniques.

Indeed, this is true. The fact that Bai Yuan currently possesses the World Lord-level secret techniques and the Immortal-level secret techniques is enough to make many powerful individuals envious.

Even those universe-level powerhouses might not possess a World Lord-level secret technique, let alone an Immortal-level secret technique.

And so, Baiyuan successfully became an external member of Virtual Universe Company.

Lion Demon, standing to the side, seemed to be struggling with his thoughts. After a moment of contemplation, he said seriously, "I am willing to join Virtual Universe Company."

This decision surprised Baiyuan; he hadn't expected Shisha to agree.

Manlu nodded slightly, showing no surprise.

However, Lion Sha has his own difficulties; unlike Bai Yuan, he does not have the powerful background of the Blade Clan.

Cultivation resources, advanced secret techniques, guidance from powerful figures... these are all extremely rare for him.

In addition, he also visited the slave market.

There, he saw various races being openly priced and sold, including even some powerful beings at the Eternal Star level.

That scene made him deeply realize the cruelty of the universe.

He is not alone; his home planet is behind him.

As the strongest being on the planet, he has a responsibility to protect his homeland and must not allow it to follow in the footsteps of those slave races.

Therefore, he cannot take risks, and he cannot fail!

Before leaving, Baiyuan and Shisha added each other as friends.

"I never expected you to choose to join Virtual Universe Corporation. It seems unlikely we'll see each other again."

Baiyuan's tone carried a hint of emotion.

"Hehe, in life, you always have to make choices. Besides, joining the Virtual Universe Company might not be a bad thing. Once I'm strong enough, no rules will be able to bind me anymore."

Although Lion Demon felt helpless, this was the only way he could console himself.

Baiyuan understood that Shisha's situation was different from his own, and naturally, their perspectives on the issue were also different.

The two then exited the virtual universe and returned to reality.

Inside the castle, Bai Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but think of the legendary rogue cultivator, "Hu Yanbo".

At his peak, this rogue cultivator had reached the level of barely being granted the title of Marquis, and he also had nine immortal servants under his command.

At his peak, this person was already a powerful figure who could barely be granted the title of Marquis, and he had nine immortal servants under his command.

However, there are always people more powerful than him, and he ultimately fell at the hands of another being who barely managed to be crowned a king, the "Demon Hand King".

Fortunately, his legacy was obtained by Luo Feng, who later resurrected him and all nine of his servants.

In terms of talent, Hu Yanbo is not among the top talents in the universe.

In terms of strength, he wasn't even a King or Immortal, so what happened to the human race's high-ranking officials had absolutely nothing to do with him.

However, when it comes to "luck," he is incredibly fortunate, which is truly enviable.

With Luo Feng around, as long as he doesn't intentionally try to die, he's practically immortal. Even if he does fall, Luo Feng can revive him on the spot with a single thought.

After his resurrection, Hu Yanbo realized that having a powerful backer was ultimately much more convenient when traveling through the universe.

So he chose to join Virtual Universe Company.

The main reason why Baiyuan was unwilling to join the Virtual Universe Company of the Heilongshan branch was that he did not want to be bound by rules.

Secondly, he didn't really care much about a branch.

The training he received here was probably not as good as the training he received from the Blade Clan.

He either won't join any faction, or if he does, he'll only choose the headquarters of the five major factions.

Deep inside the cave, Luva is leading Kulu to explore further in.

"Are you sure this was really left behind by some powerful being of the universe level?" Kuru's tone was full of doubt.

Luva chuckled and said mysteriously, "Don't worry, this place is definitely the remains of a cosmic-level powerhouse. It's just a pity that I'm too dull-witted to inherit that powerhouse's legacy."

"That's strange. If it really was left by a cosmic-level powerhouse, how could the 'True Blood Lord' not know about it?"

The "True Blood Lord" that Kuru mentioned is the lord of this planet, a powerful being at the seventh level of the universe.

Just then, Lois, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped.

"Why did you stop? What happened?" Kuru asked.

Upon hearing this, Lois slowly turned around.

The previous timid and submissive expression had vanished, replaced by a condescending attitude.

"This is enough. All your communication devices should be malfunctioning by now, right?"

Lois's words were startling, and Kulu felt a chill run down his spine.

Whoosh!

Without the slightest hesitation, Kuru instantly unleashed his maximum speed, turned around, and rushed towards the cave entrance.

Meanwhile, he desperately tried to send a message, but just as Luva had said, all the equipment was completely malfunctioning and no message could be sent.

"Damn it! How could I have been so bewitched as to believe this guy's nonsense!"

Kuru was filled with remorse.

For the past month, Lois had been completely obedient to him, almost to the point of being subservient, which made him gradually become somewhat arrogant.

So when Luva mentioned the inheritance of a cosmic-level powerhouse, although he had some doubts, his greed and contempt for Luva made him suppress all his doubts.

boom!

A crimson domain suddenly opened up, and Kuru, caught off guard, was instantly suppressed to the ground by the power of the domain.

He struggled desperately, but found that he couldn't muster even the slightest strength to resist.

"Impossible! How could Luva possibly have such strength?" Kuru was horrified.

However, the figure that appeared next plunged him into utter terror.

"Who are you......"

Before he could finish speaking, the newcomer merely glanced at him coldly, and his powerful mental energy instantly shattered his consciousness.

Kuru's vision went black, and he lost consciousness on the spot.

Upon seeing the visitor, Lois immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Greetings, Master! Your subordinate has successfully completed his mission, gaining this man's trust and leading him here."

"Hmm, not bad." The person casually tossed out a card.

"Here is one hundred million Qianwu coins, as a reward for you."

Lois quickly accepted the card with both hands, discreetly put it away, and then got up to leave.

His father had sternly warned him that there were some things they shouldn't know.

They take the money and leave, forgetting everything until the master gives the next order.
