The meaning of the term ‘acting lord’ was self-evident. This person was temporarily in charge. He was a human with a Quasi-Immortal cultivation base, which was befitting of such a position.0

“Your Majesty, the likes of us can only speculate about your identity. Presumably, the Nineshores Immortal Palace decreed that this universe was to be your personal property....” A nonhuman cultivator stepped forward who looked like an old human man, except that he had a third eye. Bowing respectfully, he continued, “From ancient times until now, the only people rewarded with this glory are pureblooded ascendees from the Immortal Capital. This seems to indicate that Your Majesty is an ascendee from the Immortal Capital.0

“As for the exalted Kun Wu... well, he’s similar to yourself, Your Majesty. Supposedly, he was an ascendee from the Immortal Capital who had his own universe. But this place was apparently more suitable for his style of cultivation. So he came over here about a thousand years ago and never left.... He’s human, and the Nineshores Heaven is just so huge....”0

At this point, the old man looked up hesitantly at Xu Qing in the immortal hall. “In the Nineshores Heaven, any universe with no lord in its immortal hall is considered unoccupied. And thus, human cultivators will often go into them to practice cultivation. Before the exalted Kun Wu came to the Inksun Universe, there were other humans who had settled down here. But they were all driven away when the exalted Kun Wu showed up.”0

The old man was being very careful with his words. He clearly didn’t want to offend either Kun Wu or the new lord in the immortal hall.0
