Resolution

The Fan Nuo Fortress Lord sat in the hall on the top floor of the skyscraper when the doorbell suddenly rang. "Enter," the Fan Nuo Fortress Lord said. Whoosh, the door automatically parted to both sides, and an alien man with four hooves, two hands, and numerous soft tentacles on his face walked in from outside. "Boss, here is this year's detailed financial report," the alien man respectfully handed over a document, densely covered with various alien characters. The Fan Nuo Fortress Lord took it and flipped through it. This was a corporation he had established while disguised as an ordinary life form living on this planet. Although it seemed ridiculous for a great, peak Universe Overlord to do such a thing, the Fan Nuo Fortress Lord enjoyed the feeling of being close to the most common strata of the universe. Experiencing the competition among the common strata often moved the Fan Nuo Fortress Lord, sometimes even triggering insights into the Dao of Laws. "You may leave for now. I will convene a meeting shortly," the Fan Nuo Fortress Lord ordered. "Yes." The ordinary life forms working for this company likely couldn't imagine how terrifying their boss truly was. Even the nominal strongest being on this planet, a Universe-level expert, was merely a joke in the Fan Nuo Fortress Lord's eyes... Living on this planet, he had already secretly manipulated multiple power shifts. For him, it was merely a thought. If he wished... a single thought could instantly obliterate the binary stars in the sky. 'Luo Feng was actually possessed by the Golden Horn Beast? Undying Gods cannot be possessed, so Luo Feng must have been possessed when he was at the Sector Lord level? When Luo Feng made such a name for himself on Purple Thorn Island, was he already secretly possessed? No wonder Luo Feng died and then revived; it turns out he was merely a new clone of the Golden Horn Beast after possession,' the Fan Nuo Fortress Lord mused. Possession means the soul enters a new body, abandoning the original one. The Golden Horn Beast has its true body and three clones. If the consciousness and soul of one of its clones were to leave to possess another, abandoning its original physical body, it could naturally occupy a new one. However, the target of 'possession' must be below the Undying level... it cannot possess an Undying God! "Hmm?" The Fan Nuo Fortress Lord suddenly stood up. "No!" "Luo Feng, at the Sector Lord level, could kill a peak King, and as an Undying, he even killed Howling Mirror King. His body is no less than that of a heaven-defying special life form. But even so... a Sector Lord level body, even with thousands of times the life gene level, cannot bear the soul of a Universe Master!" The Fan Nuo Fortress Lord suddenly realized this. "Could the Golden Horn Beast have been an Undying back then?" "Yes." "Only this can explain why it succeeded in possession! Why its reputation isn't great, and I couldn't recognize it at all. But how could it unleash such powerful secret techniques? Even innate secret techniques, the innate secret techniques of heaven-defying special life forms, aren't this strong." The Fan Nuo Fortress Lord's thoughts hit a dead end. Luo Feng possessing the Golden Horn Beast? Impossible! Luo Feng's growth period is too short; he couldn't have created such terrifying secret techniques. The Golden Horn Beast possessing Luo Feng? Also impossible! Luo Feng's body back then couldn't bear the soul of a Universe Master. The Golden Horn Beast must have still been merely an Undying back then... and it couldn't have created such powerful and terrifying secret techniques in such a short time. "But they use the same secret techniques, clearly indicating the same consciousness! It must be possession." "What's going on?" "What exactly is going on?" The Fan Nuo Fortress Lord pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out, only sighing to himself... The universe is indeed mysterious and unfathomable, with many inexplicable things still existing. While the Fan Nuo Fortress Lord lived on this ordinary planet, Luo Feng had returned to his God Kingdom to meditate and comprehend, aiming to break through to the Universe Master level. Meanwhile, at the peak of Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe, within a palace shrouded in endless chaotic energy. The Chaos City Lord sat cross-legged with his eyes closed at the edge of a cliff. Suddenly, a light screen lit up beside him, displaying detailed text information and an image—an image of the Qi Mirror Stone. "Hmm?" "Sent directly by the Virtual Universe System, what important message could this be?" The Chaos City Lord opened his eyes and looked at the light screen with a puzzled expression. Upon seeing it, he revealed a look of astonishment. "Luo Feng obtained the Qi Mirror Stone?" "Chaos!" A voice echoed out of thin air. "Giant Axe," the Chaos City Lord replied with a hint of respect. Only two beings in the entire human race could speak to him directly without a call request, and the Giant Axe Founder was one of them. "Chaos, Luo Feng previously identified the Qi Mirror Stone through the Virtual Universe System; did you know?" The voice resonated around him. "Other Universe Masters also learned of it at the same time. I am now preparing to hold a high-level resolution regarding the ownership of this Qi Mirror Stone. Do you agree?" "I agree," the Chaos City Lord nodded. The Chaos City Lord also understood that the Qi Mirror Stone was connected to the most important treasure since the opening of the Original Star! For ordinary treasures, the Universe Masters wouldn't care... but for the peak treasure about to emerge from the Qi God Palace, none of the major cosmic powers weren't coveting it. The Giant Axe Founder deciding to hold a 'high-level resolution' instead of directly demanding it from Luo Feng was already quite considerate. The Virtual Universe System was, after all, the Virtual Universe of the human race! And the highest-ranking beings in the human race were naturally the Giant Axe Founder, Chaos City Lord, Void Gold Master, Yanshan Master, Long Xing Master, and over a dozen other great existences. After Luo Feng identified the Qi Mirror Stone, the Virtual Universe System, after logical judgment, directly transmitted the information to these high-level figures. In the Virtual Universe, within one of its dimensional spaces, there was endless darkness with specks of starlight in the distance. A simple divine temple floated in mid-air. In front of the temple was a long stone table, with stone chairs on either side. At the head of the long stone table, there was only one stone chair, where a giant barbarian man sat. Figures appeared out of thin air in the chairs on both sides of the stone table; these were the Chaos City Lord and the other Universe Masters. In a moment, all had arrived. "Everyone is here," the giant barbarian man said, looking at both sides, yet all the Universe Masters waited respectfully... The Giant Axe Founder before them was a Universe Supreme Master! "Luo Feng obtained the Qi Mirror Stone, and the Qi Mirror Stone is connected to a peak domain-type supreme treasure," the giant barbarian man stated directly. "This is of immense significance and very important to our race. However, Luo Feng obtained this through his own abilities, so we cannot directly demand it. What should we do... everyone, please share your thoughts." With the Giant Axe Founder's opening statement, a qualifier was set—it could not be directly demanded! "The Qi Mirror Stone," a cold voice rang out. "It's connected to the Qi God Palace! What is Luo Feng's strength? Giving it to him is useless! For the strength of our race... let him hand over the Qi Mirror Stone directly. At most, give him some compensation. Is one high-grade supreme treasure enough? If not, give him a bit more, wouldn't that suffice?" "Hmm," a Universe Master nodded in agreement. "I agree." "Right, although he obtained it, giving it to him is a waste! Once the period for the Qi God Palace's opening passes... the Qi Mirror Stone will lose its value. And the Qi Mirror Stone could very likely bring another super supreme treasure to our human race." "I agree." "Agreed." One by one, the Universe Masters voiced their opinions. "While I agree with everyone, we must pay attention... Luo Feng has risen to prominence, shining brightly as a genius rarely seen in our human race for billions of years. His arrogance is imaginable! Although the Qi Mirror Stone is very important, let's not sour our relationship with Luo Feng over this. That Blaze Emperor back then had a perverse temper... although he wanted to seize a supreme treasure from a fellow race member, it shouldn't have escalated to the point of him leaving the race. This matter seems simple, but we must be vigilant... don't let it turn hostile. Luo Feng's talent is in no way inferior to the Blaze Emperor's back then, and he is very likely to become a Universe Master in the future," a gentle voice remarked. "It's different." "Luo Feng and the Blaze Emperor are completely different. The Blaze Emperor was extremely selfish. Although our race is tolerant of super experts, he didn't even have the most basic protection for fellow race members! He attacked his own kind and still doesn't believe he was wrong... For someone so extremely selfish, I feel no pity at all for his departure from our human race; on the contrary, I feel relieved! Fighting alongside him would be an insult to me!" "The Blaze Emperor and Luo Feng have different personalities." The gentle voice continued, "Although they are different, everyone understands the arrogance of a super genius. The more heaven-defying they are, the more extremely confident they are in themselves! If handled improperly... it could easily provoke dissatisfaction. Logically speaking, the Qi Mirror Stone was indeed obtained by Luo Feng himself. Even if it were truly wasted, it is his right! No matter how much we regret it for the race, it's not good to interfere. Of course, from the race's perspective... it would be best for Giant Axe to personally enter with the Qi Mirror Stone. With Giant Axe's capabilities, the probability of obtaining that super supreme treasure is naturally very high." "Hmm." "I agree with what Qing Dong Master said." "Indeed, caution is necessary." "Luo Feng having it is a waste, but how to persuade Luo Feng is very important." "It should be taken back from Luo Feng... but persuading Luo Feng will be somewhat difficult." One by one, the Universe Masters spoke. Except for the Chaos City Lord, all other Universe Masters spoke, and they quickly reached a unanimous decision... the Qi Mirror Stone must be retrieved, and it would be best to appease Luo Feng. Although these Universe Masters were the true ruling class of the human race, they still valued Luo Feng greatly. "Chaos, what do you say?" the Giant Axe Founder looked over. The Chaos City Lord shook his head and smiled, "What more can I say? Since everyone has reached a unanimous decision, I naturally have no objections. The Qi Mirror Stone... must be retrieved, but the prerequisite is not to escalate conflicts. We lost one Blaze Emperor; let's not lose Luo Feng as well." Many Universe Masters nodded slightly. It's not uncommon in the universe for powerful individuals to leave their original factions and join others... Firstly, the family members of super experts usually perish early on. Secondly, the more powerful an expert is, the more confident they become, holding firm beliefs. If truly angered... leading to a furious outburst, many indeed directly leave their factions. "Chaos, you handle this matter," the giant barbarian man said with a smile. "You are his teacher; if you speak, his resistance should be minimal." "Haha, Chaos, we'll trouble you with this matter." "Haha..." Laughter erupted among the surrounding Universe Masters. The Chaos City Lord could only nod. "You must do everything possible to get Luo Feng to agree," the giant barbarian man said solemnly. "The Qi Mirror Stone, after all, is connected to the super supreme treasure within the Qi God Palace." "I will persuade him," the Chaos City Lord nodded.
