Chapter 1010: Five Stages Of Overlords, Name Shakes The Universe (3)

"Overlord Ming Jian," Overlord Xin Ya said, "Normally, most of us Overlords of the divine court headquarters would have guard duty assignments."

"Guard duty assignments?" Wu Yuan was taken aback.

"The territory of our divine court headquarters is vast, encompassing over two thousand macrocosms," Overlord Jiang Meng explained with a smile. "Battles occur from time to time in various macrocosms, and we have also occupied many important treasure lands across such an immense domain.

“As Overlords, the highest echelons of the divine court headquarters, we naturally shoulder responsibilities. We must lead the charge in many great battles, so we need to be stationed at the divine court headquarters, ready to move out and slay enemies at crucial moments.

“However, we Overlords also need to venture on expeditions, so we can't always remain in one place. That's why we take turns, usually in pairs.

“During guard duty, one cannot leave the universe to enter the cosmic sea without important cause. And even so, one must be able to return swiftly and join battles." Overlord Jiang Meng elaborated

Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

This reminded him of the late-stage Sovereign legions of the Immortal Court and Eldritch Court.

"In most cases, small conflicts with other Saintdoms can be handled by dispatching late-stage Sovereign legions. Our divine court headquarters also has six late-stage Sovereign legions permanently stationed here," Overlord Si Pan said with a smile.

"Given that Overlord Ming Jian has only cultivated for a short time and should focus on improving his strength, I propose that he need not take on guard duty for now," Overlord Xin Ya stated. "We should let him shoulder this responsibility after a hundred million years.

“Does anyone object?" Overlord Xin Ya's gaze swept across the other Overlords.

Silence fell.

No one raised any objections.

These Overlords understood that short-term guard duty was a minor matter. It would benefit the entire divine court headquarters if Wu Yuan's strength grew further.

"Very well, then it's decided," Overlord Xin Ya declared.

...

Not long after, the Overlord Council of the divine court headquarters concluded, with the other Overlords departing one after another. Overlord Xin Ya, however, asked Wu Yuan to stay behind.

"Ming Jian." Overlord Xin Ya smiled and said, "The news about your cultivation level was relayed to me by Bei You. I hope you won't blame me for revealing this information to the others."

"Overlord Xin Ya, I know you revealed it so the other Overlords would respect me more," Wu Yuan replied with a smile.

"I'm glad you understand." Overlord Xin Ya sighed and continued, "Although the various Overlords of our divine court headquarters are relatively united, they all have their own thoughts and plans. Having gained the True Saint's trust to lead the divine court headquarters, I must be mindful of unity.

“Before this, most other Overlords believed the True Saint had secretly bestowed many Xiantian artifacts upon you, thereby allowing you to possess such strength. They likely harbored some discontent."

Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

He couldn't help but think of his body refiner self, who had previously unleashed late-stage Sovereign power in the Creation Dao Realm, similarly leading Eldritch Court powerhouses to such assumptions and causing discontent among many Overlords.

This situation was quite normal. People were not troubled by scarcity, but by inequality.

By publicly revealing some of his information, Overlord Xin Ya ensured the other Overlords of the divine court headquarters truly recognized his potential, with the aim of preventing any dissatisfaction from arising.

"The second reason I asked you to stay behind is that the True Saint wishes to see you," Overlord Xin Ya said.

"The True Saint wants to see me?" Wu Yuan was startled.

"You've caused such a great stir this time, and the True Saint is naturally aware. True Saint's approval was also necessary for you to join the ranks of the divine court headquarters Overlords," Overlord Xin Ya explained with a smile. "Moreover, you've obtained so many treasures from this battle. Don't you want to exchange them for items you need?"

"Treasures?" Wu Yuan's eyes lit up.

"You probably don't need ordinary treasures," Overlord Xin Ya said. "If you wish to exchange for Xiantian artifacts, only the True Saint can provide them. When you meet the True Saint, you can discuss it with him yourself."

"Thank you, Overlord Xin Ya," Wu Yuan said.

"There’s no need for thanks. Also, we are both Overlords now, so you can simply call me Xin Ya from now on," Overlord Xin Ya said with a smile. "Have your true self come to the divine court headquarters as soon as possible."

Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

Within the Taiyuan Voidrealm, communication was possible, but to exchange treasures, one's true body had to be present.

...

In the Greenridge Macrocosm, Ming Jian Realm.

Sovereign Hai Xuan and the others have begun transferring the information archives of the Greenridge Immortal World?

Wu Yuan's qi refiner self sat in the lotus position.

Sovereign Bei You, Sovereign Heng Yang, and the others maintained constant contact with Wu Yuan. The Eternal Sun Immortal World's takeover of the Greenridge Immortal World's spacetime territory was proceeding smoothly so far.

First, let's go to the Taiyuan Voidrealm to deal with the treasure acquisitions.

Wu Yuan said as he stood up.

With a single step, he entered the utterly chaotic Spacetime Intersection Layer, swiftly making his way towards the Taiyuan True Realm.

Realm Of Thought.

Wu Yuan's mind stirred, and a hazy radiance enveloped a million-li diameter area around him.

Whoosh!

His flight speed instantly skyrocketed, rapidly reaching light speed in this spatial dimensional.

Light speed is the limit of the Spacetime Intersection Layer.

Wu Yuan realized inwardly.

It's also the upper limit allowed under the workings of heaven and earth.

In the Material Spatial Layer, if Wu Yuan wished, his qi refiner self could easily surpass a thousand times the speed of light. But it was different in higher spatial dimensions; breaking the light speed barrier was extremely difficult. And in the Spacetime Intersection Layer, the limit was light speed, which even an Overlord of Spacetime couldn't break.

At least I’m much faster than those Sovereigns of Space.

Wu Yuan thought to himself.

One day of travel for me in the Spacetime Intersection Layer is equivalent to traversing twenty-seven trillion light-years in the Material Spatial Layer!

The maximum diameter of a universe was only a few trillion light-years. Wu Yuan could now cross an entire universe in just a few hours.

Traveling from the Greenridge Macrocosm to the Taiyuan Divine Court headquarters? It would take just over two hours.

...

As Wu Yuan traveled through outer space of the universe, news of the battle in the Greenridge Macrocosm finally spread among the Saintdoms in the Ling Jiang Universe.

It wasn't that the Immortal Court didn't want to conceal it, but it was simply impossible to hide.

The fall of mana and ether bodies of over five hundred late-stage Sovereign powerhouses, and the loss of the Greenridge Macrocosm’s territory—how could such a momentous event be kept secret?

Moreover, the Taiyuan Divine Court hadn't intended to keep it a secret at all, directly transmitting the news of 'Ming Jian becoming the ninth Overlord of the Divine Court' to almost all Sovereigns under the divine court headquarters.

"Ming Jian? An Overlord? Impossible!"

"How long has he been cultivating? Less than a hundred thousand years, right?" A wave of shock swept through countless Sovereigns from various Saintdoms, who all felt incredulous.

"It's been confirmed."

"During the battle at the Greenridge Macrocosm, Ming Jian single-handedly annihilated five late-stage Sovereign legions of the Immortal Court, exhibiting Overlord-level power."

"The Taiyuan Divine Court has already announced that a celebration will be held in a thousand years."

"Heavens!"

"Single-handedly slaughtering hundreds of late-stage Sovereign powerhouses?"

"It was just their mana bodies and ether bodies, and it happened within the macrocosm. He wouldn't stand a chance in outer space beyond the macrocosm."

"That's still terrifying enough. How many in the entire universe could accomplish such a feat?"

"Incredibly powerful."

"It's only been seventy thousand years since the end of the Megaverse Crossroads, right? Seventy thousand years to get from High Immortal to Overlord?"

"This! This!"

"The number one genius in the history of the universe! In terms of cultivation speed, he might even be faster than Wu Yuan."

"The youngest Overlord." The entire universe was in an uproar, with countless Sovereigns discussing and marveling at the inconceivable news, filled with both admiration and astonishment.

Ming Jian! Seventy thousand years after claiming a Saintcrest, this monstrous prodigy of the Taiyuan Divine Court had attained Overlord-level power, treading upon the corpses of numerous Immortal Court powerhouses to establish his reputation and shaking the entire universe.
