Beneath the magnificent dome constructed of stars, thirteen enormous thrones hang in mid-air, the exclusive thrones of the Star Council.

To Shen Qian's surprise, there were figures on both of the thrones.

Your Majesty!

Since entering the Hall of Hundred Kings before sinking, this was the first time he had ever seen two kings online in the Hall of Hundred Kings' community.

Although their faces were not clearly visible, each of the two kings had a number above their heads.

1 and 14.

Shen Qian's eyes narrowed.

Assuming his initial conjecture was correct, and that each person's number was ordered according to the number of existing members, then even if King No. 1 wasn't the first to join the Hall of Hundred Kings, he was certainly one of the earliest members.

"Hey, another kid has logged on."

Seemingly noticing Shen Qian's gaze, No. 14 Wang Hou laughed.

"If I remember correctly, number 98 should be the second person to join the company this year."

No. 1 Wang Hou also smiled and replied.

"Greetings, Your Excellencies." Shen Qian came to his senses and was about to bow.

"No need for formalities. We are all members of the Hundred Kings Hall, so we should treat each other as equals." But King No. 1 waved his hand, stopping Shen Qian's actions.

The two princes did not speak to Shen Qian any further and fell into silence.

But Shen Qian felt that the two had not stopped talking; he just couldn't hear them anymore.

He seemed to be deep in thought before sinking.

At this moment, he somewhat overturned his previous idea.

The reason was simple: the two kings treated him too casually. This wouldn't have been a problem in itself, but if everything in the Hundred Kings Palace was truly being controlled by the Star Council, then they couldn't possibly be unaware of his true identity.

It's impossible that they didn't know he was the "God of War" in the martial arts discussion forum.

Even if they don't treat each other differently, this attitude is still inappropriate.

"Number 98, you're here too. Did you hear what they were saying? Phew, this time Shanghai has truly become a gathering place for powerful figures..."

A slightly enthusiastic voice interrupted Chen Qian's thoughts, and the surrounding noise gradually entered Chen Qian's ears.

After greeting Zhao Keyi, who was talking to him, Shen Qian noticed that the Hundred Kings Hall was unusually lively today, with at least fifty or sixty people online.

Number 9 and number 66, who left a deep impression on me before the sinking, were both there. In addition, there were many unfamiliar figures that I had never seen before.

"Hey, I still think Suzhou University of Science and Technology is the best. I heard that Bai Fei, who was dead for two years, has reappeared. Not to mention, besides Bai Fei, there's also Cai Hongling, who has been training overseas for many years..."

"Beiwu has held the throne for many years. How could it be so easily defeated? Not to mention the senior students, even Wang Shuo, one of the freshmen, is probably qualified to participate in the Nine Heavens!"

"I heard that the youngest son of Duke Xuantian will also participate, and that he rejected the invitations from the four major schools, specifically choosing a third-rate institution. Heh, his purpose is self-evident..."

After listening intently for a while, Shen Qian finally understood what Zhao Keyi was saying.

The members of the Hundred Kings Hall are currently discussing the Nine Heavens Battle that will take place in twelve days, and because of this, they are engaged in a debate about unparalleled geniuses.

Before sinking, I heard a few familiar names, but most of them were unfamiliar.

The members of the Hundred Kings Hall are all highly knowledgeable, and anyone mentioned by them must be extraordinary, so Shen Qian paid extra attention to them.

Just as Shen Qian was listening with great interest, a voice suddenly came from above, "Gentlemen."

Everyone fell silent for a moment. Shen Qian looked up and saw that the speaker was none other than the No. 1 King, who was suspended in mid-air.

"The Hall of a Hundred Kings has just received a request for help from number 56. He is willing to pay 1,000 contribution points as a reward. Members located near the First Province of Jiangnan are requested to go and help."

King No. 1 announced a message.

Shen Qian was taken aback. Wasn't the first province in Jiangnan right next to the Shannan province where he was currently located?
