Kong Liao sought out Jiang Chen because he knew Jiang Chen had killed a Primordial Universe Ancestor God of the Sixth Universe in the chaos beyond the Twelfth Universe. The Sixth Universe had always been closely aligned with the First Universe. Since Jiang Chen, under the alias "Forty-Nine," had killed Huo Shan, he was an enemy of the First Universe. Recognizing that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, Kong Liao had come to recruit him.
Someone capable of easily killing a Third-Level Universe Ancestor God wielding a Chaotic Supreme Treasure was clearly no small fry. Yet, he had not expected Jiang Chen to turn the tables and try to recruit him instead. He was momentarily stunned.
Jiang Chen looked at Kong Liao with a brilliant smile and asked, "How about it? Deputy Master of the Universe—one person below, ten thousand above. As long as you assist me in ascending to the position of Universe Master, none of this will be a problem."
