"Wow!" Zhou Hong couldn't help but be secretly surprised. He wondered what level of divine artifact this Metaverse was.
"Then what level of divine artifact is this Metaverse?" Zhou Hong asked.
"I don't know about that, but it looks like it's not low level. Otherwise, my family wouldn't have spent billions of years and countless efforts to study it."
"Alright, nothing else. Thank you." Zhou Hong smiled slightly. He was eager to study the Metaverse now, so he had no mood to chat more with this beautiful former girlfriend.
"Okay." Gu Shi Ni nodded and then disappeared.
After Gu Si Ning left, Zhou Hong's grandfather, Zhou Sheng Gu, flew over from a distance.
"Grand...!" Zhou Hong was about to call out "Grandpa," but as soon as he uttered the word, he suddenly paused. He now knew the truth, could he still call him Grandpa?
"Zhou Hong, I'm sorry for letting you know the truth so late. I'm not your true former grandfather." Zhou Sheng Gu's heart was also quite complex.
"It's okay, but I'll still call you Grandpa. After all, without your help, I wouldn't have been able to reach this point."
"No, it wasn't me who helped you, but Miss."
"Heh heh, I am of course grateful to her too."
"Now that you know the whole truth, you won't commit suicide, right?" Zhou Sheng Gu looked at Zhou Hong with concern.
"Hahaha, Grandpa, what are you saying? Is there anything worth me committing suicide for? Don't you know I'm such a petty person?" Zhou Hong couldn't help but burst out laughing, actually worrying that he would commit suicide.
"It's precisely because I know you very well that I'm worried. I know you're a very ambitious person. Once you know the truth, you'll definitely be extremely unwilling, yet you'll never be able to leave the Metaverse, which will lead to depression."
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'm fine."
"Alright, if you can't figure anything out, come and find me anytime."
"Okay!"
"Then I'll leave first. I don't need to pretend to be Zhou Sheng Gu in front of you anymore. From now on, I'll probably be outside most of the time."
"Okay."
Zhou Sheng Gu didn't say any more. His body also disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he exited the Metaverse and returned to the brightly lit room outside. At this moment, Gu Si Ning was still standing there, lost in thought.
"Fu Bo, why are you still standing here?" Zhou Sheng Gu asked in confusion.
"Fu Bo, when I came out just now, I ran into a cousin from my family, Gu Si Tiao, who I've always had a bad relationship with." Gu Si Ning's face was filled with worry.
"What's wrong?"
"Just now, Gu Si Tiao told me that I'm finished. I don't know what he means by that. Could it be that my relationship with Zhou Qing in the Metaverse has been discovered?"
"Miss, that's unlikely." Zhou Sheng Gu's expression also changed slightly. If it was truly discovered, then the Gu Si family would be absolutely furious. Not to mention how Gu Si Ning would be punished, Zhou Hong in the Metaverse would definitely suffer greatly. At best, his consciousness would be erased, and at worst, he would be tortured before his consciousness was erased.
"Fu Bo, I need to go and investigate immediately. If it's really discovered, at least I can make preparations in advance. You should also go and remind Zhou Hong to prepare himself mentally. Enjoy what you still want to enjoy."
"Alas!" Zhou Sheng Gu sighed helplessly and returned to the Metaverse again.
However, his going in and out meant that several months had passed in the Metaverse. Of course, this amount of time was completely negligible for someone at the Immortal Emperor level. However, Zhou Hong had already left the Sheng Gu Immortal Kingdom.
At this moment, Zhou Hong was in a secluded place, quietly contemplating how to obtain the divine artifact Metaverse and become its master.
Unfortunately, after racking his brains for several months, Zhou Hong had no clues.
"How can I obtain this divine artifact? Control it from the inside out?"
"Give me some inspiration!"
Zhou Hong clutched his hair, feeling like he was going crazy.
"Become the master of the Metaverse, become the master of the Metaverse." Zhou Hong muttered this sentence to himself.
Suddenly, something flashed in Zhou Hong's mind.
"Become the master of the Metaverse?" Zhou Hong's insight came from this sentence.
"How can I become the master of this universe? In this Metaverse, besides those from the outside, I am already the most powerful Demon Emperor."
"To become the master of the Metaverse, the first scenario is to become the strongest here. However, setting aside those outsiders, I am already the strongest Demon Emperor, yet this divine artifact still doesn't belong to me. If we include the strength of those outsiders, the strongest among those who have entered has not obtained this divine artifact."
Zhou Hong counted on his fingers and closed his eyes, concentrating in thought.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, as if he had thought of something.
"For me to become the master of this Metaverse now, it's not enough for my strength to be the strongest. At least... I need to make everyone in this entire world know that I am the master of this world. Only when everyone has reached a consensus will it mean that I have truly become the master of this world. In other words, when all living beings in the Metaverse believe that I am the master of this world, then I will naturally inherit this divine artifact!"
"Is that so?" Zhou Hong murmured to himself.
If this were the case, it would be too simple. Zhou Hong unified the entire world and then issued a decree to the entire world, whether it was the lower world or small worlds like Earth, letting everyone know that there was a person named Zhou Hong in the Immortal Realm who was the master of this world. When everyone knew this news and reached a consensus, he would naturally become the master.
Of course, Zhou Hong was just imagining it. Whether it was possible or not would only be known through experimentation.
"Alright, then I'll try according to this idea. At least let everyone in the Metaverse default to me as the master."
Having found a direction, Zhou Hong then set out to unify the entire Immortal Realm. The Demon Cultivation Realm and the Immortal Cultivation Realm were already under his complete control as the behind-the-scenes boss. What remained were the Monster Cultivation Realm, the Buddhist Cultivation Realm, and the Spiritual Cultivation Realm. He would visit them all and make all their Monster Emperors, Buddha Emperors, and Spiritual Emperors surrender to Zhou Hong and publicly acknowledge him as their master. Then, Zhou Hong could order these people to pass down the message layer by layer, and then everyone in the entire Metaverse would respect him as their master.
Zhou Hong set off immediately, heading to the Monster Cultivation Realm first. He had never been to the Monster Cultivation Realm before.
However, at this moment, Zhou Sheng Gu suddenly found Zhou Hong, flying over from a distance with an anxious expression.
