In the virtual universe, on the continent of Qianwu, as soon as Zhou Ze appeared, Clark knelt on the ground with red eyes, pleading, "Teacher, please save my parents!"
Zhou Ze said calmly, "Tell me about your parents—"
After saying that, he had a sudden thought and forcibly lifted Clark up.
Clark hurriedly said, "Teacher, it's like this. Not long ago, I went back to Qianwu Star to see my parents. Not long after I left, I received terrible news: my parents were kidnapped on Qianwu Star by an alien race member who was at least at the peak of the King level."
"Then I couldn't wait to come find you, teacher."
Zhou Ze didn't say much, and directly used his authority to search for intelligence.
A peak-level alien king dared to appear directly in the capital of a cosmic nation like Qianwu Star and kidnap the close relatives of a core member of the Virtual Universe Company. The company certainly wouldn't stand idly by.
only----
Zhou Ze was worried that if this alien king at the peak of his realm dared to do this, it meant he was prepared to die, or perhaps he was sacrificing a pawn.
The reason for kidnapping Clark's parents was not to deal with Clark, but to target himself.
Moreover, given the unique nature of the virtual universe, Zhou Ze knew that he couldn't escape the peak of the King-level realm—it was simply a matter of course.
Zhou Ze looked at the dejected Clark: "Clark, panicking will never help. Now that your parents are in this situation, you have no choice but to accept it. What you need to do is find a way to solve it—"
"Coming to me is one solution!"
Clark's eyes were full of tension, but after listening to Zhou Ze's words, he calmed down a lot. He knew that his teacher was right. Since the matter had already happened, he had to find a way to solve it before he was completely desperate.
Zhou Ze didn't say much. He knew that his parents' accident was a complete shock to Clark. The best way for him to comfort him was not to lecture him, but to guide him slightly.
"Don't worry, this matter is related to your teacher. Your parents are in trouble because of your teacher, and I will do my best to help you solve the problem!" Zhou Ze said expressionlessly.
"Thank you, teacher," Clark said sincerely, taking a deep breath.
Although he calmed down a lot, his mind was still in turmoil after what happened. It was already quite good that he could remain calm on the surface. After all, he was different from many other strong people. He had a happy family and loving parents since childhood.
The Virtual Universe Company's intelligence department quickly investigated the matter of Clark's parents. Zhou Ze had just arrived at Qianwu Star when he didn't expect that the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom had already taken action personally.
In fact, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was extremely anxious about this incident. As the famous ruler of the human race known as "Qianwu", the credit for the emergence of so many peerless geniuses in the universe was attributed to him.
For this to happen on his Imperial Capital Star in the Universe Kingdom is a direct slap in the face to him. Moreover, the fact that even the family of a peerless genius valued by the company couldn't be protected means that he will be punished to some extent.
Of course, what worried him most was Zhou Ze's attitude.
There are very few people in the entire universe who know Zhou Ze's true nature, and the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom is one of them. However, compared to almost everyone else at the time whose memories were erased, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, as a high-ranking member of the human race, naturally did not need to erase his memories, but he was also given a gag order.
He had long since become numb to Zhou Ze's rapid progress; in his view, it was only a matter of time before Zhou Ze became a true peak expert.
Now that this problem has occurred, he is afraid that Zhou Ze will be dissatisfied. Given how much the human race's higher-ups value Zhou Ze, if Zhou Ze were to mention it even slightly, his already comfortable life, which was somewhat better because of Zhou Ze, might be over.
Therefore, after his parents' accident, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom immediately took action on the matter. After handling it, he immediately went to the central mountain range of Thunder Island in the virtual universe to search for Zhou Ze.
"Senior Qianwu, this should be our second meeting!" Zhou Ze said with a slight smile.
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom sat opposite Zhou Ze, sighing deeply: "Who would have thought that you were just a planetary-level being back then, but now you far surpass me in both strength and status. It's laughable that I even considered taking you as my disciple back then."
Zhou Ze still had a slight smile on his face and said sincerely, "Hehe, it's nothing. It just shows that you have good judgment. If I really intended to become your disciple, I would have definitely done so back then."
Upon hearing Zhou Ze's words, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was filled with fantasies, and even felt a little regret.
Why didn't they take a firmer stance back then and insist on accepting Zhou Ze as their disciple? Unfortunately, that's all in the past and can't be undone.
Fortunately, he treated Zhou Ze well at the time and did not use his power to intimidate him.
"Senior, I won't reminisce with you any longer. I have an urgent matter to attend to. How are my disciple's parents doing? You said you've already taken care of things?" Zhou Ze asked directly.
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom waved his hand and said, "Don't call me senior anymore. I don't deserve it. In the universe, strength is the most important thing. Just call me Qianwu."
"As for the matter of your disciple's parents—alas—"
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom sighed; "They have all been enslaved, and just as I arrived, that king-level alien race member self-destructed—"
"Clearly, the alien race was already prepared and had abandoned this pawn!"
Zhou Ze frowned, and the Qianwu Kingdom's heart leaped into his throat. It wasn't that he lacked composure, but rather that Zhou Ze's current strength far surpassed his own, not to mention his status and position.
"Qianwu, do you know who the Immortal King who enslaved my disciple's parents is? That Immortal King must have been enslaved as well, right?"
"Do you know who is behind that enslaved, immortal king?"
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom immediately guessed Zhou Ze's thoughts and said, "I actually know that—"
"That enslaved immortal king is the Sea Sand King! As for who enslaved him, it must be the Azure Eagle Venerable of the demon race!"
"Hmm, it's highly likely to be it. Back in a secret cosmic realm, when Venerable Azure Eagle was still a King-level Immortal, he fought against King Sea Sand. Venerable Azure Eagle is skilled in soul control techniques, so he's the most likely candidate to enslave King Sea Sand's soul!"
"After all, as a peak-level Immortal King, to control the soul of the Sea Sand King, one must at least be a Limit Immortal King or an Invincible Immortal King who is proficient in soul control techniques!"
"Moreover, after that battle, Venerable Azure Eagle never went to Chaos City again."
While using his consciousness to search for information, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom shared his guesses with Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze also immediately searched for information on "Venerable Qingying".
This Azure Eagle Venerable was actually a cosmic overlord, which secretly surprised Zhou Ze. He then asked the Qianwu Kingdom Lord, "Qianwu, Azure Eagle Venerable and Sea Sand King must have been powerful figures from a very distant era, right?"
The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom revealed a trace of world-weariness, and sighed, "Actually, it wasn't that long ago, probably only a hundred billion epochs ago. Sigh—"
Zhou Ze's lips twitched involuntarily, his face speechless, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
