Star Sea King was the title Gu Ce decided upon for his Star Flow Sea clone.
For Gu Ce, it was at least a little better than "King of Ice Arrows".
"I am willing to join the Hongmeng," Gu Ce said.
"Alright." Blackwater King nodded with a smile.
In the virtual universe, a dazzling star suddenly appeared in the private room where the two were.
The stars are dazzling.
Then it gradually shrank into a stream of light, which flew directly onto Gu Ce's right arm, revealing a small star.
"boom!"
At the same time, a hazy human figure hovered in mid-air, its invisible pressure pressing down on both Blackwater King and Gu Ce. Even the two powerful individuals were unable to look up directly under this pressure, as if they were ants before a god, utterly powerless to resist.
The human figure in the light and shadow bowed slightly, looking down at Gu Ce.
"Star Neptune!"
"Welcome to the Hongmeng Alliance! From this day forward, you are an official member of the Hongmeng Alliance!"
After saying this, the human figure vanished from the spot.
After the figure disappeared, Gu Ce asked curiously, "Who is this?"
"This is the mystery of the Hong Alliance." Blackwater King chuckled softly. "Everyone who officially joins the Hong Alliance will experience this scene, leaving countless members wondering who this human figure is. One theory is that it is the avatar of a certain hall master in the Hong Alliance Hall, while another is that it is an intelligent system in the virtual universe. Since the virtual universe system can simulate any kind of pressure, it is quite possible."
"Palace Master, those are all beings at the level of universe lords."
Gu Ce nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Star Sea King, anyone who has just joined the Hong Alliance is a one-star! One-star is the lowest rank among the official members of the Hong Alliance, but with your strength, even if your previous achievements are not taken into account, you can easily reach the three-star level later," Blackwater King laughed.
"My lord, before you enter Hongmeng City... you can carefully review some information, so that you won't be completely clueless when you enter Hongmeng City. I'll take my leave now," said the Blackwater King.
……
The headquarters of the Hongmeng Alliance is located in a plane space specially created in the virtual universe. In that plane space there are countless stars, and in the center of the stars, there is a huge floating ancient city. This ancient city floating among the stars... is the 'Hongmeng City' where countless powerful people live.
Hongmeng City is a gathering place for the alliance of humans and a large number of alien races, and is full of powerful people.
It's peaceful here—after all, it's a virtual universe, so it's naturally peaceful.
Here, the hierarchy is strict—status is determined by strength and contribution, and those with higher status naturally enjoy more power.
The strength of official members of the Hongmeng is determined by their battle record. The stronger the record, the higher the strength rating. The rating is based on one star, two stars, three stars... up to seven stars, a very simple rating system. All strong members will have star marks on their arm guards or cuffs.
This makes it easy to determine the opponent's strength level.
All new members who join the Hongmeng are initially represented as stars. Their ranking will be determined by the Hongmeng City Branch System of the virtual universe system, which will automatically assess their performance and strength based on their real-world achievements.
One star is the level when you first join the Hongmeng. It is usually the most common level of the King Immortal, which is the initial level of the King.
Two stars is considered a strong figure among those who have been granted the title of King, representing a high level of Kingship.
Samsung, the ultimate champion.
Four stars, the initial level of a cosmic venerable, or in other words, an invincible king.
...
Seven stars represent the initial level of the Lord of the Universe. Even top-tier cosmic overlords can be classified into this level. Even when Venerable Ripple is at his full power, he can barely reach this level.
……
"Finally, I've joined the Hong Alliance."
Gu Ce strolled around the outer city of Hongmeng City.
Hongmeng City is divided into the outer city, the inner city, and the Hongmeng Palace.
Hongmeng City is an ancient city suspended in the starry sky, surrounded by a large number of stars, where more than 300 million immortal kings from various races gather.
Those whose strength is divided into one-star to three-star reside in the outer city.
Their strength is divided into four-star to six-star, and they live in the inner city, which is almost entirely inhabited by cosmic venerables.
At the very heart of the entire Hongmeng City—
It is a magnificent and mysterious palace that stretches for millions of kilometers, resembling a giant sword that pierces the starry sky. This is the "Hongmeng Palace".
The Hongmeng Palace is inhabited by the "Seven Stars". The Seven Stars are at least top-tier cosmic overlords like the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, beings comparable to the weakest cosmic lord.
The various hall masters of the Hongmeng Hall... are even more transcendent than the 'Seven Stars'.
The Ice Peak Lord's requirement was to make Gu Ce a four-star member of the Hong Alliance, so that he could reside in the inner city.
"Puya Palace? Casino?"
As Gu Ce stepped inside, he saw a group of powerful kings from various clans staring ahead, laughing and shouting excitedly.
Shaking his head, Gu Ce wasn't very interested in the casino and turned to leave.
Let's go to Yu Bao Tang and see. Gu Ce wants to cash in the assets he obtained from killing those alien races and becoming a king.
……
Yu Baotang has two floors, each covering an area of several kilometers in length and width.
Gu Ce arrived here.
Inside the Yu Bao Hall, countless treasures were displayed as far as the eye could see, and each treasure was accompanied by a diagram. The diagram contained videos, pictures, and textual information, explaining in detail the origins, special features, and prices of the treasures for sale.
The treasures on the first floor of Yu Bao Tang range in price from one million Hunyuan units to one hundred billion Hunyuan units.
The second floor holds countless precious treasures, some of which can be purchased with Chaos Units. Others are forbidden to be bought with money and must be exchanged for other treasures… a barter system.
The items Gu Ce possessed could be sold on this floor.
"Lord Starsea King, are you sure you want to sell these treasures?" the staff member of Yubaotang asked in surprise.
The number was so enormous that even seasoned staff members were somewhat astonished.
How many kings were killed?
"Okay, let's calculate how much it will cost," Gu Ce nodded and said.
"Okay... The total value should be over 5000 billion Chaos Units. The exact amount is impossible to determine completely. Some of the items are extremely rare and can be sold for even higher prices through auctions," the staff member exclaimed.
"When will it be completely sold out?" Gu Ce asked.
"Lord Star Ocean King, please wait a moment while I consult with my supervisor."
A moment later—
"Lord Starsea King, the total value of your spoils is 7783 billion Chaos Units. I'll round it up to 7800 billion Chaos Units. What do you think?" the manager said respectfully.
To obtain such a large quantity of loot at once, it's impossible that it's just a one-star king title.
The supervisor is quite intelligent.
"Okay." Gu Ce nodded slightly.
More than 700 billion Chaos Units should be barely enough for Xingliuhai's clone to refine the fifth prison of the Ice Peak Nine Prisons Body.
Murder is still the fastest way to make money!
Those who went to compete for the Rainbow Mountain Treasure were mostly high-level Kings, with a net worth of hundreds of billions of Mixed Yuan Units. Those at the peak of the King level contributed hundreds of billions or even trillions of Mixed Yuan Units, allowing Gu Ce to reap huge rewards!
