Before this, apart from the area around Chaos City, the rest of the place was almost entirely a land ravaged by demons.
However, after learning of the Chaos City Lord's whereabouts, some of the demons vanished instantly, while others were killed by the mastermind behind the scenes and sent to Chaos City as compensation.
The pressure from an invincible being is that powerful.
Even before he had spoken, countless people came to fawn over him.
"Another peerless demon has been killed by the city lord, and the outer sea will probably be peaceful for a while." The Lone Fire Island Master was more concerned about the situation in the Black Prison Yin Sea.
If the Lord of Chaos City could return in person, it would be enough to reshape the environment of the Black Prison and the Dark Sea, and those demons would definitely not dare to act so aggressively.
Rumble…
Just then, the void trembled, as if a great magical power was manipulating space. The spacetime of the entire island was changing, as if it were merging with another world.
Soon, the original island disappeared, and in its place appeared a continent filled with ethereal beauty.
"Meet the City Lord!"
Upon seeing this, the three Lords of the Stars, along with the former residents of Chaos City, instantly bowed down to the sky.
……
Chapter 686 The Ancient Kingdom of Chaos
"The city lord is back!"
The entire world was transformed; the once familiar Chaos Island instantly became a paradise on earth.
There are many in the Realm Heart Continent who can do this, but only the island's master, the Chaos City Lord, dares to do so here.
Then, a figure slowly emerged in the sky above Chaos Immortal Island.
Although it has a specific face, it gives people the appearance of the world, and when everyone looks up, they seem to see a different world.
A world of raging flames, a world of surging waters, a world of blinding white light...
Simply standing there, it was as if the very essence of the universe was being manifested.
Immediately, many cultivators were almost struck by enlightenment, and their understanding of the world greatly improved.
For cultivators with slightly weaker abilities, there is indeed a significant difference between observing the Chaos City Lord and comprehending the universe.
"Meet the City Lord!"
Once they came to their senses, the crowd bowed down to the figure once more, their eyes filled with even greater reverence.
Previously, the Chaos City Lord's strength was only a conceptual understanding, but now it has materialized, making him an invincible being like the Lord of a World.
In the outside world, most of these people wouldn't even be qualified to meet an invincible being, not even some weaker cosmic gods, let alone those below the level of cosmic gods.
However, as the place where Lu Yunhe started his business in the Realm Heart Continent, he naturally had many advantages. He started from the core area, and the people inside received preferential treatment when they went out.
"The Lord of Chaos City has become an invincible being!"
The Lord of the Stars was somewhat dazed upon seeing this scene. The moments when he had joined forces and fought with him seemed so close yet so incredibly distant.
Compared to others, the Lord of the Stars even boasted that he had once fought against the Lord of Chaos City, and the two sides were evenly matched.
Of course, at this moment, the Lord of Stars only hoped that the Lord of Chaos City would not hold the matter against him.
"I have also protected Chaos City for so many years. I have worked hard even if I have not made any great contributions. I hope the city lord will not hold it against me," the Lord of Stars thought to himself.
Although he possessed a top-tier secret treasure comparable to a lord-level figure, his ability to protect himself was lacking, and he had no way to survive in the face of an invincible being.
Not to mention a powerful figure like the Chaos City Lord who can kill even invincible beings; with a single thought, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Compared to the Lord of the Stars, whose emotions fluctuated, the Lord of Lone Fire Island was much more at peace.
After the Lord of Chaos City killed the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island, the Lord of Lone Fire Island had fulfilled his wish and felt carefree and at ease.
Indeed, a top-tier cosmic god, as long as he doesn't provoke the ultimate being, can live a carefree life on the continent.
The actions of the Lone Fire Island Lord during this period were merely out of gratitude to the Chaos City Lord, and he did not have any other ulterior motives.
As for the Fire King and the other people who were originally in Chaos City, they were now filled with ecstasy.
From being residents of a third-rate country, they suddenly became the core members of an ancient kingdom; words could hardly describe their feelings.
Cultivators who emerged from ancient kingdoms were treated with great respect even by rulers of third-rate ancient kingdoms, demonstrating their high status.
With the strength of the Chaos City Lord, the power he belongs to is definitely at the level of an ancient kingdom, and a strong one at that, not a weak ancient kingdom.
Because the Lord of Chaos City alone is comparable to a powerful ancient kingdom, and is undoubtedly the number one person on the Realm Heart Continent.
Even the ancient kingdoms ranked slightly lower in strength, combined, are probably no match for the Chaos City Lord alone. A top-tier powerhouse like him wields immense influence.
"The six once invincible ancient kingdoms have finally changed, with one more emerging." King Huo Lie was full of confidence.
Having just broken through to the level of a Cosmic God, he was able to get close to an invincible being, which would make everyone else extremely envious.
The Lord of Stars and the Lord of Lone Fire Island are both outsiders. Among the people of Chaos City, he had the highest cultivation level. It was a blessing from heaven that he was able to come so close to being an invincible being.
With the protection of the Chaos City Lord, it's just a matter of giving others a little extra; aside from their cultivation level, perhaps even those at the Venerable Lord level can enjoy their full potential.
Once upon a time, the Fire King's greatest goal was simply to become a cosmic god like the king, but now he is dreaming of becoming a powerful being at the level of a sovereign.
As for his previous identity scandals, they had already been largely erased during the time the Chaos City Lord ruled.
"Get up!"
Lu Yunhe spoke with golden words, and the power of the laws followed, lifting everyone up from their prone position.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Looking at the determination on everyone's faces, Lu Yunhe nodded slightly. Those who were still able to stay here at this moment were basically people who had accepted Chaos City.
While it's true that we shouldn't test people's hearts, the vast difference in strength and status between the two does indeed need to be proven through testing.
It's very simple: these people need him, not the other way around; their positions are not equal.
This chaos was, in effect, a test he had given these people.
The fact that these people persisted after his departure is a testament to his approval.
"This little bit of hardship is nothing..."
"Everything is for the city lord..."
Upon hearing the words of the Chaos City Lord, everyone present became excited.
The disparity in strength is too great; a single sentence is enough to stir up the emotions of these people.
"call…"
The Lord of Stars breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the Lord of Chaos City hadn't held his previous actions against him.
Lu Yunhe harbored no ill will toward the Lord of the Stars, and the supreme treasure that caused his qualitative change was obtained through him.
The Lord of Stars recruited him, saving him countless epochs of cultivation. Lu Yunhe was so grateful that he didn't hold a grudge.
"Cultivate diligently!"
With a wave of his hand, Lu Yunhe led the Lord of the Stars, the Lord of Lone Fire Island, and the Fire King to the palace in the center of the island.
“Because of the treasure, I had to hide my whereabouts before. During this time in Chaos City, I am also very grateful to the three of you,” Lu Yunhe said.
These three people had done their best for his Chaos City, which he had noticed.
"I wouldn't dare, it's all part of my duty, it's what I should do," the Lord of Stars said with an awkward laugh, clearly having had little contact with an invincible being before.
"City Lord, may I ask if the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island is really dead?" Lord of Lone Fire Island couldn't help but ask.
“Dead, killed by my own hands!” Lu Yunhe nodded.
"Thank you City Lord!"
Hearing these words directly from the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Lone Fire Island was finally relieved.
Even if the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island is resurrected, the Lord of Chaos City will surely come looking for him and kill him again.
"The three of you, would you be interested in working for me?" Lu Yunhe asked directly, getting straight to the point. After becoming an invincible figure, he did indeed need some people to manage his subordinates.
"Meet the City Lord!"
Upon hearing the words of the Chaos City Lord, the three Star Lords did not hesitate and immediately performed a deep bow to express their stance.
The Chaos City Lord only has a few subordinates now, which means that once they join, they will be part of the invincible core circle.
This position is very tempting, even for those who are truly at the ultimate level.
Although those ancient kingdoms also recruited guest advisors, the conditions were extremely harsh, and the treatment was only slightly better than that of a solo individual; it was simply that they had an additional platform.
For many cosmic beings, it's not that they're unwilling to accept constraints, but rather that the cost-effectiveness isn't high enough to achieve the position they desire.
However, the allure of a new, invincible being like the Lord of Chaos is immense for a cosmic god.
Even the Lord of Stars, although he possesses a top-tier secret treasure, it is not a perfect match and he also lacks some truly heaven-defying secret treasures, so he cannot be regarded as a true sovereign.
However, once the Chaos City Lord has accumulated enough resources, he can acquire a suitable top-tier secret treasure and learn a few invincible secret techniques, at which point he will be fully capable of being considered a Venerable Lord.
Moreover, with an invincible backer, they have even more confidence.
As long as the benefits are plentiful enough, even a cosmic god wouldn't mind having another boss.
After all, although the Realm Heart Continent is vast, there is no truly unrestricted place. Wherever you go, you will inevitably be influenced by powerful figures.
"Alright, the development of Chaos City will now be entrusted to you few." Lu Yunhe nodded, not surprised by this outcome.
After becoming invincible, he could become a hands-off manager again. He only needed to grasp the general direction like a stabilizing force, and the development could be left to his subordinates to run on their own.
For a cosmic god, development is not the problem; strength is.
"My Kingdom of Stars can also be incorporated into the Kingdom of Chaos," the Lord of Stars thought.
Investing in an early ancient kingdom can give you a huge first-mover advantage.
The Lord of Chaos City has just become an invincible being and is still in the period of expanding his power, with plenty of opportunities and chances.
Once a power has been established, second- or third-rate powers will have no chance of joining, and newcomers will not enjoy the corresponding benefits.
Most importantly, the Lord of Chaos City has become an invincible being. In terms of power, he is still in the early stages, but in terms of strength, he is at the peak.
The difference between these two is that these early participants can enjoy the development dividends, which is equivalent to a war that cannot be lost and can only be won.
