The Hong Alliance is a union primarily composed of humans, with a large number of alien allies, and Hong Alliance Virtual City is a gathering place for Hong Alliance members, where experts are as numerous as clouds.
Because it is located in the Virtual Universe, Hong Alliance Virtual City is very peaceful, but the ranking system here is strict, with status determined by strength and contribution, and those with higher status naturally enjoy more rights.
The strength of official Hong Alliance members is uniformly confirmed by their battle achievements; the stronger the achievements, the higher the strength classification, which is divided into one-star to seven-star to distinguish strength and status.
One-star: All new entrants to the Hong Alliance are at this Rank, generally the most common level of King-level Immortal.
Two-star: Considered an expert among Immortal Kings.
Three-star: Limit stage King.
Four-star: The initial level of Universe Venerable; Invincible King experts can also be classified into this level.
… …
Seven stars: The initial level of Universe Master; Tian Shi Palace Master can also be classified into this level.
"Hong Alliance Virtual City is divided into the outer city, inner city, and Hong Alliance Hall, and the outer city alone has over ten million King-level Immortals!"
Luo Feng looked at the information about the Hong Alliance, his face showing shock, "Our human King-level Immortals in the Hong Alliance are only a little over a hundred thousand."
He had originally thought that the Star Tower in the Seventh Battlefield of the Extraterritorial Battlefield, where he was located, having several hundred thousand King-level Immortals, was already an exaggerated number.
But he never expected the number of King-level Immortals in Hong Alliance Virtual City to be even more terrifying, reaching over ten million!
Of course, the large number of King-level Immortal is secondary, after all, one-star, two-star, and three-star King-level Immortal can only reside in the outer city of Hong Alliance Virtual City.
The Hong Alliance's truly powerful force consists of the four-star, five-star, and six-star Universe Venerable Rank combatants residing in the inner city.
As well as the Seven Star Overlord and Hong Alliance Palace Master hidden within the Hong Alliance Hall, whose numbers are difficult to ascertain.
"According to the Hong Alliance envoy team that invited me, my teacher is a Leader within the Hong Alliance, but I wonder how many Leaders the Hong Alliance has?"
Even though Luo Feng is a Super Genius, his authority is still far from the Rank required to inquire about the number of Hong Alliance Palace Masters.
"Hong Alliance Virtual City has tens of millions of experts, with various shops set up inside; I can try to inquire about the 'King Armor' of the Flame God Race."
Luo Feng thought to himself, "Now that I have Cultivated the third tribulation of the 'Nameless Secret Tome', my strength has greatly improved, and the Golden-Horned Beast Clone should be able to unleash the true power of the 'King Armor'.
"If I can get a King Armor, the Golden-Horned Beast Clone's strength will be comparable to a Pinnacle stage King-Level expert."
With this thought, he teleported to the Hong Alliance Virtual City plane.
… …
Hong Alliance Virtual City.
Luo Feng teleported to the residential area assigned by the Virtual Universe System.
According to the message from the Virtual Universe, all experts entering Hong Alliance Virtual City have their physical constitution maintained at the weakest Apprentice-level.
Because all experts have the same physical constitution, as long as Universe Venerable Rank experts restrain their consciousness pressure, it is impossible to judge their strength from their appearance.
He was quite satisfied with this; others also could not tell from his appearance that he was a World Master.
Luo Feng walked out of his residence and into a community where the architectural styles of the residences differed, but the land area was all the same.
Not long after walking, he arrived at an open-air bar where experts gathered; this was a good place to gather information.
And whether it was the many alien King-level Immortal, or the few human King-level Immortal, all smiled and greeted Luo Feng.
Luo Feng smiled back, then went to the table of the human King-level Immortal and sat down, chatting under the pseudonym 'Yang'.
As they were all humans, the few quickly became familiar, and among them, a King-level Immortal named King Black Jade chatted the most with Luo Feng.
"It's Dulan, Tuyi… they're here."
"Hmm, you still dare to come here!"
"You are not welcome here!" Just as they were chatting, the alien experts suddenly became noisy.
Luo Feng looked in the direction of the noise and saw four alien experts of various forms being glared at by many of the alien experts present, with some alien experts observing indifferently.
"What's going on? Did those four alien Immortal Kings anger everyone?" Seeing this scene unfold, Luo Feng curiously asked King Black Jade beside him.
"It's not that they angered everyone, but because their race belongs to the neutral faction."
King Black Jade smiled, "Yang, do you know how many King-level Immortals there are in this Hong Alliance Virtual City?"
"I read the information when I came; there are over ten million Hong Alliance King-level Immortals," Luo Feng replied.
"Hehe, you should know that an outer city community in Hong Alliance Virtual City can house at most ten thousand people, and the entire outer city of Hong Alliance Virtual City has nearly two thousand communities!" King Black Jade replied with a smile.
"Nearly two thousand communities? Doesn't that mean there are nearly twenty million Hong Alliance King-level Immortals?" Luo Feng asked in surprise.
"There aren't nearly twenty million King-level Immortals," another human Immortal King replied, "Each community isn't full; often, a community houses nearly ten thousand King-level Immortals at most, and as few as seven or eight thousand."
"Someone calculated that there are approximately 16 million Hong Alliance King-level Immortals."
King Black Jade chuckled and shook his head, "16 million King-level Immortals, that's a very exaggerated number; our human Immortal Kings are only a little over a hundred thousand.
"Even the number of Universe Venerables in the Hong Alliance's inner city exceeds the number of our human King-level Immortals."
"Are you kidding? Those are Universe Venerables!"
Luo Feng's eyes widened, feeling it hard to believe; humans have over a hundred thousand King-level Immortals!
"Heh!"
King Black Jade couldn't help but smile upon seeing Luo Feng's expression, "Yang, do you know how many King-level Immortals our Hong Alliance had before the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company was established?"
"How many?" Luo Feng asked curiously.
"At that time, it was about 3 million," King Black Jade replied.
"3 million?" Luo Feng was surprised, "Now it's 16 million! How did the Hong Alliance increase so many King-level Immortals after the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company was established?"
As a Super Genius of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, he knew that the company had not been established for long, at least compared to the ancient five Leviathans of Humanity.
King Black Jade sighed, "Because a powerful Alliance force in the Original Universe, the Snake Dance Alliance, brought about eighty percent of its races into the Hong Alliance, causing a surge in the number of King-level Immortal and even Universe Venerable within the Hong Alliance."
"Snake Dance Alliance…" Luo Feng murmured softly.
It was hard to imagine an Alliance force with over ten million King-level Immortal and numerous Universe Venerable joining the Hong Alliance.
"Don't be surprised; in the vast and boundless Original Universe, we King-level Immortals are nothing; only Universe Venerables can barely support a race."
A three-star King-level Immortal softly said, "Only the Overlord existences among Universe Venerables can roam freely in the Original Universe, and only the Leader-level existences above Overlords are the fundamental strength of a force!
"The reason our human race is strong is because we humans have an overwhelming advantage in Leader-level combat power, and even more so, the Alliance Leader, a great existence beyond Leaders."
"That's right." King Black Jade interjected, "It is said that the reason the Snake Dance Alliance joined the Hong Alliance is because one of our human race's greatest existences, the founder of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, single-handedly suppressed a top-tier force."
"Teacher!"
As Luo Feng listened, the figure of his teacher, Void River Master, appeared in his mind, and his heart surged with excitement.
His teacher single-handedly suppressing a top-tier force, forcing the powerful Snake Dance Alliance to join the Hong Alliance, was truly shocking and inspiring.
He even couldn't help but wonder if he, too, could be as overbearing and powerful as his teacher if he were to become a great existence in the future!
"The Snake Dance Alliance joining the Hong Alliance led to a surge in the number of Hong Alliance's King-level Immortals and Universe Venerables; although the Alliance's territory expanded quite a bit, resource allocation became increasingly tight."
King Black Jade then said, "Our human race's resources naturally won't decrease, but other alien races are different; just imagine…"
