So at this moment, Alu, who was sent to kill Zhou Hong, was having a very good time in a certain part of Sheng Gu Immortal Kingdom, with a woman on each arm.
"Quick, where is Alu?"
"He's in the Ancient Immortal Kingdom, I'll call him over immediately...!"
"No need, I'll call him myself. Alu, get out here." The Great Elder roared, his voice echoing throughout Sheng Gu Immortal Kingdom, or rather, the entire immortal realm.
At that moment, a man who was having a grand time on a soft couch was startled by the voice in the air. He quickly scrambled up, put on his clothes, and appeared before the Great Elder.
"Greetings, Great Elder."
"Alu? I sent you in to kill Zhou Hong. What are you doing here? In terms of local time, it's been at least ten years. What have you been doing? Why haven't you killed Zhou Hong yet? And not only that, you've let him spread throughout the entire metaverse, proclaiming himself the master of this metaverse."
Alu glanced at Fu Bo and could only say, "Great Elder, it was Fu Bo who pleaded with me to let that Zhou Hong live for another ten or twenty years. He also said that ten or twenty years in the metaverse is only ten minutes in the outside Divine Realm. Fu Bo also arranged for top beauties here to let me enjoy myself first. I thought to myself, it's only ten minutes of work, why not give him some face? So I... didn't rush to kill Zhou Hong. Great Elder, I'll go kill him right now."
"You scoundrel! Do you know you've ruined my plans? He's now proclaiming himself all over the universe as its master. You've been here for over a decade and you haven't stopped him."
"Great Elder, I already knew he was proclaiming himself king and conquering everywhere when I came in, and that he was calling himself the master of the metaverse. I just sneered at the time. Fu Bo also said that he just wanted to have a taste of power before he died, and I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't bother with him. Anyway, whether he's the master of the metaverse or not isn't up to him, nor is it up to everyone here...!"
"Slap!" The Great Elder immediately slapped Alu, turning him into dust.
"Ah." Fu Bo's body turned cold with fear at this sight.
"And you, die as well." The Great Elder had no time to waste with them and instantly tried to kill Fu Bo.
However, as he brought his palm down, the air suddenly froze. His hands and feet felt as if they were encased in ice, completely unable to move.
"Great Elder, spare me...!" The unsuspecting Fu Bo kowtowed and begged for mercy. However, after a long time, he saw no palm coming down. He looked up in confusion and saw the Great Elder frozen in mid-air.
Fu Bo looked bewildered.
"Grandpa!" Zhou Hong's figure flew over from a distance. Although Zhou Hong had been on Earth moments before, he was now the master of the entire universe. With a single thought, he returned to the immortal realm. He knew everything that had just happened here.
It seemed that Zhou Hong's successful inheritance of the metaverse was thanks to his former grandfather, no, Fu Bo. If it weren't for him pleading with Alu to let him live for another ten or twenty years, Zhou Hong would not have had the opportunity.
"Zhou Hong, you've finally returned. But I'm very sorry, your life is about to end here." Fu Bo said apologetically to Zhou Hong, not yet realizing what was happening.
"I'll still call you Grandpa. After all, you helped me a lot. Otherwise, I would have died years ago."
"Zhou Hong, you just lived a few more years. By the way, this is the Great Elder of the Gus Divine Race, the strongest of the divine races, now a supreme god." Fu Bo introduced him quickly, but he was puzzled. Why was the Great Elder frozen and motionless? Was there a malfunction in the metaverse?
"Heh heh, I already know. I also heard your conversation just now. He was about to kill you, and I stopped him."
"What did you say? You stopped him?" Fu Bo was startled, wondering if he had misheard.
"Yes, as he was about to strike, I froze him instantly."
"Don't joke. How is that possible?"
"Heh heh, it was indeed impossible before. Any divine race that entered here was invincible. Unfortunately, that was before. But now, I am the master of this metaverse. By the way, you don't know yet, but this metaverse is actually the divinity of a Creation God. I am now a Creation God."
"This...!" Fu Bo was stunned, not knowing if it was true or not, or if he was dreaming. He became a Creation God so easily?
"That's right, I inherited the divinity of the Creation God, and I am the new Creation God. It's that magical. I couldn't even level up this fast." Zhou Hong chuckled. In fact, he himself found it incredible. He hadn't even been to the Divine Realm yet, and he had already become a Creation God. There were very few Creation Gods in the entire Divine Realm, precisely eighteen.
"My heavens!" Fu Bo was completely dumbfounded. This metaverse was not an artifact, but divinity.
"Grandpa, do you know that the method to inherit this divinity is to let everyone here know that I am the master...!"
Fu Bo felt like he was about to faint. He couldn't help but look at the Great Elder, who was frozen in mid-air. He finally understood why the Great Elder was so enraged. If it were him, he would be enraged too. This divinity, which was clearly meant for the Great Elder to inherit, had somehow gone to Zhou Hong.
"Heh heh, Grandpa, you should know now how grateful I am to you. You truly deserve to be called Grandpa after all these years. So, from now on, you are my real Grandpa."
"This...!" Fu Bo didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Although he was used to being a servant in the Gus Divine Race, who wouldn't want to rise to a higher position if they could?
At this moment, the Great Elder, frozen in mid-air, had a face as red as a beet. Clearly, he could hear and see, but he was unable to move or speak.
Zhou Hong looked at the Great Elder and chuckled, "Great Elder, you're going to be so angry you'll explode if I don't let you speak soon." Zhou Hong immediately lifted the restraint.
The Great Elder's body could move again.
"Zhou Hong, return what belongs to me!" The Great Elder's first words were an enraged roar, as if he had lost his mind.
"Hahaha, naive. But from your perspective, it is indeed a great loss. I think perhaps it was all destiny."
"Wuwuwu... This is impossible! You are just the lowest native here. Even if you fulfilled the conditions, you couldn't inherit the divinity! Impossible!" The Great Elder started crying.
"Unfortunately, these words are meaningless now. You are trapped in my metaverse. If I don't let you out, your life will be forfeit. Even if I let you out, I can still crush you with a single finger." Zhou Hong smiled.
