Lu Yuan was very clear about it.

With his strength, once the public knew, it would definitely attract attention.

But he never thought about hiding, nor did he fear anyone.

Now, the authorities had come looking for him.

That too was within his expectations.

In fact, Lu Yuan also wanted to have a talk with those at the top.

First, after the new era, the situation was chaotic.

In the previous era, for a long period, countless people's lives were greatly threatened.

Back then, he was the same, almost always on the run, and at times, even supercities were not safe.

The reason was simple: after Exotic Beasts evolved and gained intelligence, they saw humans as their great enemy.

So, every now and then, they would attack human cities.

And during that time, the authorities made many efforts.

But ultimately, due to the short time, countless people perished, and it was not until later that they recovered.

In this regard, Lu Yuan believed he could offer some advice on what should be done.

Why not save more lives if it's possible?

Secondly,

the upper echelons controlled a large portion of resources.

Especially information channels, which were numerous indeed.

And some, could not be disclosed, known by only a few.

Therefore, he also wanted to understand some of the big picture of the new era through these means.

So after some thought, Lu Yuan looked at Commander Zhang in front of him and nodded, "Alright, I will stay in Deep City temporarily."

Just as well, he could take this time to digest his recent gains and then evolve once more.

There was no choice, ever since the transformation of the world, he had obtained and fused with too many Divine Artifacts.

In the past, due to insufficient strength, he couldn't fully digest them.

Now that he had broken through thirty Genetic Shackles.

Whether in terms of physique or other aspects, he had reached a terrifying level, even his bloodline was different; with this ability, he would retrain all over again.

After all, sometimes evolving too fast wasn't a good thing; slowing down and understanding oneself was very important.

"Good, good, good." Commander Zhang was smiling upon hearing this.

"I will have someone arrange a temporary residence for you."

As the Commander-in-Chief of Deep City Defense Army,

he could be said to be highly authoritative.

However, at the moment, his demeanor was very humble, fearing that Lu Yuan would not agree.

After all, if that were the case, he had no way to stop him.

This was truly a human king.

Who had also made great contributions.

Now agreeing, Commander Zhang naturally felt relieved.

To this, Lu Yuan said nothing more, nodded, and left.

As for the Golden-winged Roc.

He allowed it to move freely.

Otherwise, having such an Exotic Beast in Deep City might cause trouble, even if it did not harm people.

But with the Blood Contract between them, no matter how far apart, they could sense each other, so there was no worry.

Thus, the crisis in Deep City was completely resolved.

The blaring alarm had fully ceased.

The people who had evacuated to safe areas also returned home under the guidance of the defense army.

And it was at this time that the news of Lu Yuan being a human king spread completely.

Previously just a rumor on the internet, now many people knew.

Twice in successive crises, it was him who resolved them.

And with his own strength alone.

For the ordinary people, he was undoubtedly a hero.

Moreover, many of the Awakened in the country had a specific goal with Lu Yuan's emergence.

Previously, when facing beast tides, most relied on thermal weapons, not guaranteed to succeed, feeling non-human efforts couldn't counteract, but if the Chang'an City incident gave everyone a boost,

then this time in Deep City, it made them truly believe humans with Extraordinary Power had mythical strength.

This was a brilliant path of evolution, and as long as they continued, the future surely pointed to Outer Deep Space.

And as the first well-known human king in the country,

Lu Yuan's fame had reached a terrifying level.

On the internet, he was directly placed above all Awakened, ranked among the strongest, revered as King Lu!

King.

As one of the humanity's kings.

This title was recognized by countless people.

At this moment, the discussions about Lu Yuan had reached an unprecedented high.

In Hu City.

A villa with small bridges and flowing water, exuding an ancient charm.

Zhou Yunqiong, dressed in a casual outfit, with long legs and snow-white, delicate skin.

Yet, at this moment, she was not lazily lounging on the sofa as before, but with a solemn expression, staring at the online news: "Shackles Realm, human king, I didn't expect... he is really Lu Yuan."

Zhou Yunqiong furrowed her brows deeply, with disbelief, and even deep doubt in her eyes.

Although the online videos weren't high-definition, with a careful look,

one could still see a silhouette.

A man and a sword.

Intimidating the South Sea Giant Demon and a hundred thousand Exotic Beasts.

She had seen this silhouette many times, so it was very familiar.

But for this reason, Zhou Yunqiong was even more shocked, looking somewhat unwell.

The human king... was Lu Yuan.

Why?

Why did she not realize it before?

How did Lu Yuan evolve to such a degree?

"Miss." Uncle Zuo stepped out from the side and slightly bowed: "The meeting is about to start, the Patriarch invites you to attend."

But Zhou Yunqiong seemed not to hear, turning instead to ask: "What do you think, how strong is Lu Yuan now?"

This matter concerned her; she wanted to know others' evaluations.
