In everyone's eyes, King Lu is currently the strongest.

A lone force suppressing the entire globe, silencing all Exotic Beasts, who can achieve that?

Now, overseas a group of people has appeared, not only arrogant but also demanding land and population.

This has long infuriated everyone, but now the problem is that the Three Immortal Islands cannot be moved with modern hot weapons.

Having lost the strongest means, even wanting to reverse the situation is impossible, so everyone unanimously thinks of Lu Yuan.

Knowing if King Lu makes a move, he will undoubtedly change the situation completely.

However, many people are aware that after returning to Taishan.

He seems to have entered seclusion.

It has been more than a month since he appeared.

And stronger figures from the Three Islands could land at any moment.

That is the final deadline, a response must be given, otherwise it will be difficult later on.

The institute also feels troubled by this, as many things have gone beyond the realm of control post New Era.

Thus they are pondering, what ways should they use in the future to adapt, to resolve more crises? They can't always rely on others, can they?

Yet, regardless, the current issue must be resolved, so Old Ji also came to Bohai Sea Coast to hold a high-level meeting.

"I oppose asking King Lu for assistance again, he has done enough for us, for the people."

"If we can't even handle this, what about the future?"

In the conference room, Old Yun was the first to speak.

Expressing his attitude.

Beside him were several others, all belonging to the top seven group.

"I agree." Elder Ji looked at everyone: "It's impossible to have King Lu solve everything, what would we old folks be here for then?"

Their meaning is very simple, unanimously recognizing that if Lu Yuan makes a move, he can definitely reverse the current situation.

The crux is, letting others solve every trouble, how will we handle more troublesome emergencies in the future?

It must be understood.

In any case of the previous Longevity Gene and Celestial God Technology.

Negotiations on Taishan Jade Emperor Peak with the Ten Great Exotic Beast Kings.

Even recent affairs on Mount Olympus and the chaos everywhere.

Almost everything was resolved single-handedly by Lu Yuan, they hardly played any role.

As the ones currently controlling most of the country's resources themselves, yet letting the situation develop to this point.

The seven of them have great responsibility.

"What would you suggest we do next?" Someone spoke, after pondering, feeling it makes some sense.

However, with this, they must come up with a feasible plan now to counter the existence of the Three Immortal Islands overseas.

"Station troops at Bohai!" Old Yun suddenly spoke, with sharpness in his eyes: "Among the Three Islands, there might be those of the Golden Body Realm, but modern hot weapons haven't been eliminated, at worst, engage in a battle."

"I refuse to believe, in this situation, we can't stop them from forcibly landing!"

He is not like the likes of Pure Yang Little Celestial Master, inexperienced.

Old Yun, as the one controlling all military movements.

In terms of tactics.

Absolutely not comparable to those few.

"Exactly, they have proposed such harsh conditions, it's intolerable, so why not a battle?" Elder Ji spoke too.

Honestly, both of them indeed don't want to hand everything over to Lu Yuan to solve, else it would seem too useless.

Moreover, the seven present are in the Shackles Realm, absolutely strong, impossible to fail in such a situation.

"That's possible, but what about Gusang and Pure Yang?" Someone frowned, concerned about those juniors taken as hostages.

That's also why they haven't acted before.

"At that time I will personally lead a team, and find a way to rescue them." Old Yun stood up, continued: "If they can be rescued, that would be best, but if not, we must make the right choice for the greater good."

His words imply this is a reluctant action, after all, it concerns the greater situation, such decisions must be made.

"Alright, it can only be this way." That person replied, acknowledging this is the right decision.

When decisive, they in high positions must consider more people.

Now the situation is extremely dire, regarding those overseas.

Cannot compromise, nor should compromise.

"Everyone."

At this moment, Elder Ji stood up, looking at everyone: "After this matter, we also need to change our mindset."

"Invest more resources, and try to cultivate a few truly strong individuals, can't let King Lu handle everything."

After these recent events, he has thoroughly understood a truth, more Awakened are indeed important, but what is more crucial is having those who can assert dominance and become foundational strong individuals.

In the New Era, merely relying on numbers no longer works, an individual's power can change everything, like Lu Yuan.

And after he said these, all present nodded, knowing they must make a change.

As for Lu Yuan, he is still in seclusion.

Uncertain when he will emerge.

Of course, these are temporarily unimportant, next they have to execute the plan.

Two goals, one is to rescue Pure Yang and Gusang, second, to assemble more troops and hot weapons, prepare to fight a real tough battle with those overseas, while deciding not to let the public know, proceed secretly.

And to be safe, they dispatched people to constantly monitor Lu Yuan's movements.

Since Elder Ji and Old Yun want to rely on official methods.

To solve all problems!

And after making the decision, they immediately started acting.

It was on this night, troops from various places moved out, continuously stationed at Bohai Sea Coast.

...

Taishan Trial Institute, within a building.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged in the room.

The scorching aura on him, at this moment began to gradually dissipate.

Around his body, the golden hue of his Qi and blood constantly vibrated, finally disappearing back into his body.

However, the aura he released was richer and more imposing than before.

Even just sitting there, he gave off an oppressive presence like a mountain.

Buzz, buzz, buzz~

Who knows how much time had passed.

Within his body, strange sounds started to appear.

Following closely, the sound of a heartbeat echoed, like the beating of war drums.

Soon, fifteen Grotto Heavens emerged, but quickly vanished again.

Behind him, a great sun suddenly appeared.

Indeed.

It was the great sun.

It emitted a scorching radiance.

As if it had a temperature exceeding ten thousand degrees, capable of melting everything.

However, under Lu Yuan's deliberate control, the aura of the great sun only extended three inches around him and did not spread out.

Otherwise, the entire room might have been destroyed; simultaneously, a mysterious power radiated from the great sun, as if it could melt everything; this power fused with his surrounding Qi and blood, unleashing an even stronger might.

This great sun seemed to represent his Qi, blood, and physique, eternally shining on everything.

Inside him, the eleventh level of Blood Slaughter disappeared, and the Great Sun Flame Divine Furnace also vanished.

The two Divine Artifacts merged into an entirely new power.

The Great Sun Melting Furnace!

Suddenly.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes.

Blazes of light emerged from his pupils, seemingly able to see through everything.

Behind him, the great sun became even more brilliant, with the temperature rising ever higher, causing the air around to distort.

"The fusion of two Divine Artifacts reshaped the physique once again?" Lu Yuan mused but quickly felt something was off: "No, it's not tempering, it's reshaping. Now my physique is not only powerful, it might have developed some sort of new ability."

The human body, full of mysteries, can undergo unexpected changes when reaching a certain level of development.

Nevertheless, he wasn't sure what it was, so he took out the Daluo Sword Embryo after a moment of thought.

Then he made a cut on the center of his palm.

Golden blood appeared.

But unlike before, it did not flow out directly.

What's more astonishing, the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within less than a minute, it was completely healed, without a scar remaining.

Previously, if Lu Yuan's physical body got injured,

It would heal, but not quickly, needing some time.

But now, the speed was too fast, directly returning to its original state.

"Is this the new ability, the ability for wounds to self-heal?" Lu Yuan was very pleased with this, as he started contemplating a question: If his physique continued to grow stronger, could he one day achieve the rebirth of flesh and blood?

No matter how serious the injury, as long as the soul remains, would he be able to regenerate his body, like a tale of myth?

It's very likely; he was sure about this, only that he wasn't strong enough yet.

But as long as he kept evolving, it was entirely possible.

"The things gifted by the Jiang family are indeed very suitable for me."

Lu Yuan thought, then revealed a faint smile; the Great Sun Flame Divine Furnace was indeed a supreme treasure.

Otherwise, it couldn't have caused such changes to his body after merging, of course, partly due to the effect of the eleventh level of Blood Slaughter.

In summary, his physique now fully assimilated the advantages of the two Divine Artifacts, especially the Great Sun Melting Furnace replacing Qi Blood Slaughter, could from some aspect, become a means of combat.

Moreover, during this process, Lu Yuan broke through five Genetic Shackles.

Now only eight remain to reach the Extreme Shackled Realm's one hundred and eight levels.

Getting closer and closer.

He was very much looking forward to this.

Once accomplished, he could enter the Golden Body Realm, and in the Golden Body Realm, humans gain the ability to fly!

Without thinking much, he cleared his mind directly.

Lu Yuan stood up and walked out of the room.

He wasn't sure how long he'd been in seclusion, but it had been some time, and evolution and cultivation needed a balance of tension and relaxation.

"Lu... King Lu, you've emerged from seclusion." At this moment, a voice sounded outside, as Zhu Qingyu came in. She had been tasked with monitoring Lu Yuan's movements, and once he emerged, she had to report back.

Because at this moment on the Bohai Sea Coast, a major conflict could erupt at any time, and the authorities wished to resolve it with their power.

Having Zhu Qingyu temporarily conceal the situation, she initially thought it would still be some time before Lu Yuan emerged from seclusion.

But she hadn't expected her prediction to be wrong, it was quicker than she'd imagined.

The matter was too significant.

How to conceal it?

"Yes."

Lu Yuan nodded.

He chose not to overthink it, casually asking, "What's the situation outside now?"

He may need to leave temporarily soon and wanted to give a heads-up beforehand.

"Ah... everything seems normal."

Zhu Qingyu responded, thinking there was no issue.

But soon, Lu Yuan furrowed his brows directly; the second anomaly was already in progress.

He had experienced it then, with various natural disasters, how could everything be normal?

The other party must be deliberately concealing something.

He immediately turned around, his eyes fixed on the girl before him, and softly asked, "Has something happened?"
