100: Chapter 100 Victory Celebration Banquet

"President Gu, what is above the Third Source Sea? Is it a Fourth Source Sea?"

"When will we ever reach the end of the Chaos Source Sea?"

Lin Xiao couldn't suppress his curiosity.

"Who knows?"

President Gu Yizhou shrugged; he truly didn't know.

The Human Race had only arrived in the Chaos Source Sea for a little over five thousand years, so there was no need to consider what lay above the Third Source Sea. It was still far too distant for them.

The other races that the Human Race had encountered so far were also completely ignorant of what lay above the Third Source Sea.

The Purgatory Race probably knew something, but given their hostile relationship, how could they possibly tell the Human Race?

"Although we don't know what is above the Third Source Sea, those First-Generation Lords of the Purgatory Race who left are likely gone..."

"Even if they are still alive, they are probably not in a good situation."

Indeed.

Lin Xiao agreed in his heart.

If the First-Generation Lords of the Purgatory Race were still alive, or if they were doing very well, they would have funneled resources back to the Purgatory Race in the Third Source Sea, and the Human Race wouldn't have been able to gain the upper hand.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

No longer asking questions that were too distant from him, Lin Xiao began to ask about the situation in the Second Source Sea.

Without a doubt, this was the most intense battlefield for both sides.

After all, the Five Great Races were all here, and there were even First-Generation Lords of the Bull Demon Race and the Shadow Race.

As territory Ranks increased,

the battles of the lords in the Second Source Sea were no longer minor skirmishes like those in the First Source Sea.

Especially for lords of the Sixth-Tier and above, they could field armies of tens of thousands. Those large-scale battles, especially wide-ranging total wars, easily involved hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops fighting across the lands.

The intensity of the war far exceeded that of the First Source Sea.

Lin Xiao greedily absorbed the useful knowledge.

For someone as high and mighty as Vice President Gu Yizhou to be willing to take the time to guide and answer his questions, such an opportunity was far too rare.

Time passed quickly, and President Gu Yizhou suddenly stopped.

"The celebration banquet is about to start. Let's go."

"You are the main character, after all."

Only then did Lin Xiao remember that he had returned to the Main World this time to attend the celebration banquet.

He naturally wouldn't refuse the Lord Association's goodwill.

This was also an opportunity to expand his network.

Lin Xiao was still in his growth phase and needed support from the Human Race.

The celebration banquet was held at a famous hotel in Shangjing City.

By this time, quite a few people had already arrived in the banquet hall.

Most of these people came from various major forces and grand Families of the Main World, though their tiers were not high.

Most were lords of the First Source Sea.

Obviously, when organizing the celebration banquet, the Lord Association had considered that having lords of too high status and strength present would put too much pressure on others, so most of the attendees were low-tier lords.

Yun Zhiyue sat in a corner, her expression somewhat blank.

Even now, she still felt as if she were in a dream.

After all, from her perspective, she had accidentally fallen into a trap set by the Four Great Races, leading to an invasion by a large number of hostile lords, with the flames of war spreading across her territory.

Fortunately, her territory's defenses were strong enough, not inferior to Wei Xuanqi's.

Just as she was enduring the pressure, finally developing her territory and preparing to make a big move to turn the tide,

she came out to look at the results.

The Qing Dynasty fell... No, the Four Great Races were utterly defeated and were fully withdrawing from the First Source Sea?

Yun Zhiyue was completely dumbfounded on the spot.

It had only been a few days since she was besieged, so how did it feel like several years had passed...

"What, still haven't wrapped your head around it?"

A teasing voice sounded, and Wei Xuanqi walked over holding a wine glass.

"This lady—cough, I just find it a bit hard to accept for a moment," Yun Zhiyue said.

Wei Xuanqi shook his head and changed the subject. "Speaking of which, you Prodigies who were besieged were only able to escape safely thanks to Lin Xiao. Aren't you going to show your appreciation?"

Surprisingly, Yun Zhiyue did not refute Wei Xuanqi's words.

She knew very well that without Lin Xiao, even more lords would have invaded her, and it would have been hard to say if she could have developed at all.

Even if she could have developed, it wouldn't have meant much.

After all, weren't the other top-tier lords of the Human Race also besieged by the Four Great Races? As long as the overall situation remained unchanged, her end might not have been much better.

"I indeed should thank him..."

But as for how to thank him, Yun Zhiyue hesitated a little.

"How about this? Lin Xiao is very interested in exterminating Void Monsters. Why don't you just ask him to help clear the Void Monsters around your territory?" Wei Xuanqi suggested.

"Alright."

Yun Zhiyue did not hesitate and immediately agreed.

She had also heard about Lin Xiao helping many Prodigies exterminate Void Monsters.

Just then, the doors of the banquet hall opened, and Lin Xiao and President Gu Yizhou walked in side by side.

Their arrival instantly drew everyone's attention.

"Lin Xiao is here."

"That's President Gu. He personally escorted him here."

Quite a few people showed shocked expressions.

What a status President Gu Yizhou held; he was a prominent figure even in the entire Main World. Although they came from extraordinary backgrounds, they were ultimately juniors. Except for a few public occasions, it was extremely difficult to meet him.

Now that he had appeared at the celebration banquet, it showed how much importance he attached to Lin Xiao.

"You young people mingle among yourselves; an old fellow like me won't interfere."

President Gu Yizhou didn't stay long. After escorting Lin Xiao inside, he turned and left.

As soon as he left, many lords immediately crowded around.

"Hello Lin Xiao, I'm from the Iron Blood Alliance..."

"I'm from the Zhou Family..."

They enthusiastically introduced themselves.

With a smile on his face, Lin Xiao dealt with them one by one.

He wasn't familiar with many of the people here. After all, in the First Source Sea, lords of their batch were in the minority; most were from previous batches.

But there were also quite a few familiar faces, such as Wei Xuanqi, Jin Ruxuan, and Yun Zhiyue.

"Lin Xiao, my territory is threatened by Void Monsters. I wonder if you could help me deal with them?"

At this moment, Yun Zhiyue walked over and said to Lin Xiao.

Exterminate Void Monsters?

Lin Xiao would certainly not refuse. Before heading to the Second Source Sea, the more slaughter points he had, the better.

"As long as it doesn't take more than two days, I can help," Lin Xiao said.

Although he needed slaughter points, he wouldn't stay in the First Source Sea for too long; two days was the limit.

"It's a deal."

Their conversation was also witnessed by others.

"As expected, the rumors are true."

"Lin Xiao's strength is related to Void Monsters."

Many people's hearts stirred. The reason they came, besides being genuinely grateful to Lin Xiao, was also in hopes of befriending this Super-spec Lord.

Asking Lin Xiao for help was undoubtedly an opportunity to build a good relationship with him, and it could also resolve the threat of Void Monsters along the way, which was by no means a bad thing.

Immediately, even more lords walked over to ask Lin Xiao for help.

As long as it wouldn't delay him for too long, Lin Xiao agreed to all of them.

"Lin Xiao, outside my territory is the twelfth layer of Void Land. I wonder if you can handle that?" a top-tier lord asked.

Hearing this, many people's faces changed color.

A twelfth-layer Void Land would contain countless Fourth-Tier Void Monsters, as well as a large number of Fourth-Tier elite monsters and giant monsters.

Especially the latter, whose threat was even more terrifying. Once a large number of Fourth-Tier elite monsters and giant monsters surged out, even if their territory defenses were extremely strong, they wouldn't be able to hold them off. Therefore, the twelfth-layer Void Land was a taboo that Third-Tier Lords dared not touch.

However, to everyone's shock, Lin Xiao's expression didn't change in the slightest.

"I can."
