After separating from Qing Qiong, Luo Fan did not return to the inheritance space.
Instead, he left the Eternal Ancient City and entered the Universe Boat.
Although the Eternal Ancient City now completely belonged to him, Qing Qiong was still conducting trials within the General's Residence, so Luo Fan did not bring the city with him.
However, he did take one item out of the inheritance space.
It was a token.
The token was black, with only a single character engraved on it, "Wu."
After receiving the inheritance, Luo Fan had also learned the various scripts of the Origin Continent.
This token was the key to controlling the Universe Boat.
He planned to head to the core of the Universe Boat to inspect its damage.
However, he already knew that the Universe Boat was most likely beyond repair.
Even if it could be fixed, it was not something he could accomplish at his current level.
Even if the inheritance space contained sufficient materials.
So instead of attempting repairs, he decided to see what could still be salvaged.
As soon as Luo Fan entered the Universe Boat, he took out the token.
He had already bound it.
Now he only needed to obtain authority at the core.
Without hesitation, he established a task.
[Task: Obtain control of the Universe Boat. Reward: Origin Sea Boat]
After obtaining the Wu Kingdom inheritance, Luo Fan understood that the Universe Boat was a massive Chaos Overlord-level mechanical treasure.
Such a treasure was not inferior in value to some God King-level treasures.
However, controlling it required many individuals working together.
For Luo Fan to control the complete Universe Boat, he would need to at least break through to the Void True God realm.
Even then, he would need all his clones to assist, just to barely manage it.
The Universe Boat was simply too vast.
As for the system reward, the Origin Sea Boat, it seemed even more extraordinary.
In this world, anything containing the words "Origin" or "Chaotic Origin" was far from simple.
Luo Fan did not dwell on it.
He would understand later.
After taking out the token, most of the dangerous zones within the Universe Boat became ineffective against him.
Only malfunctioning areas posed some risk.
In reality, these so-called dangerous zones were mechanisms designed to deal with intruders.
Some were non-living guardians.
Others were functional zones.
For example, areas meant for cultivation by those aboard the ship.
Soon, Luo Fan used a wormhole to arrive at the core of the Universe Boat.
This was a special space.
Even Luo Fan had never successfully entered it before.
Any True God who had entered had never come out alive.
He had once sent a clone here.
But the moment it entered, it was annihilated before even seeing anything.
This time was different.
With the token, Luo Fan entered easily, without encountering any danger.
This was the control core of the Universe Boat.
Anyone without permission who forced entry would be instantly annihilated, even a Void True God.
An Eternal True God would be suppressed.
Inside the core, there were displays showing various areas and data of the Universe Boat.
However, after comparing it with the data in the Wu Kingdom inheritance, Luo Fan noticed many missing parts.
Many internal areas could not even be viewed.
He knew this was because the damage was too severe.
If not for the Original Universe or the Supreme Rules pulling the Universe Boat into this Universe Sea as the third great dangerous zone, it would likely be even more damaged.
Luo Fan took out the token, infused it with divine power, and activated a secret technique.
The surroundings instantly lit up.
"Highest authority detected."
"Universe Boat authority updated. Highest authority holder: Luo Fan!"
At that moment, Luo Fan could issue commands directly through the token.
"Begin self-inspection!"
He immediately gave the command.
Unseen by him, the Universe Boat began to change.
Most notably, the area where it devoured small universes.
Originally, the process was slow, taking countless epochs to consume a damaged small universe.
Now, the speed suddenly increased.
At the same time, many parts of the Universe Boat began rapidly absorbing surrounding chaotic airflow.
This created massive vortices of chaotic energy outside.
"Ding!"
"Self-inspection complete!"
"Current damage level: 78%!"
"Remaining energy: 1.12%!"
"Propulsion system: destroyed!"
"Attack system: destroyed!"
"Detection system: destroyed!"
"Cultivation functions: partially damaged!"
"Defense functions: partially damaged!"
...
"Remaining Wu Kingdom personnel aboard: 1!"
There was even more detailed data within the token.
Looking at the damage report, Luo Fan could not help but sigh.
Repairing this would be no different from building a new one.
As for the remaining personnel count of one, that referred to himself.
After inheriting the Wu Kingdom, he was now considered one of its members.
However, he could now observe certain internal areas.
He saw some Universe Masters from the Universe Sea exploring inside.
He could even see the treasures in dangerous zones.
In reality, those "treasures" were merely practice weapons used by Wu Kingdom soldiers.
The real treasures were stored in the armory.
Others were items dropped from the world rings of fallen soldiers or tools native to the ship.
Yes, even tools within the Universe Boat could be considered treasures.
However, what interested Luo Fan the most was the armory.
It contained the majority of high-level treasures aboard the Universe Boat.
Without hesitation, after collecting the accessible treasures, he headed toward the armory.
Soon, he arrived.
With his authority, entering was effortless.
Inside, he saw the remaining weapons.
Even with all he possessed, Luo Fan could not help but feel excited.
The Wu Kingdom inheritance indeed contained powerful treasures.
But their quantity was limited.
Most were unique, carefully crafted items for inheritors.
They were designed for select individuals.
But the armory was different.
These were standard-issue treasures for soldiers.
There were massive numbers of weapons.
Blades, spears, and swords alone numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
And these were all True God-level treasures.
There were also several thousand Void True God-level treasures.
Even Eternal True God-level treasures numbered over a hundred.
There were no Chaos Overlord-level treasures here.
But even so, it was astonishing.
Among the True God-level treasures were not only weapons but also armor, domain-type, soul-type, and palace-type treasures.
Weapons and armor made up over two million pieces.
The rest, though fewer, still totaled hundreds of thousands.
In total, there were over three million True God-level treasures.
Even Luo Fan was stunned.
This was a fortune beyond imagination.
Previously, even seeing Chaos Overlord or Eternal True God-level treasures had not given him this feeling.
Because their numbers were small.
Now, seeing millions laid out before him was overwhelming.
He even thought that the entire human race treasury might not match the number of top-tier treasures here.
Peak-level treasures were relatively fewer, only in the hundreds of thousands.
This was because the Wu Kingdom had not sent many Universe Masters to the Universe Sea.
Below peak-level treasures, there were almost none.
It was simply extravagant.
Luo Fan finally understood the foundation of a nation from the Origin Continent.
Treasures here were as common as if they had no value.
Without hesitation, he began selecting treasures for his clones.
With these, his clones could reach ninth-tier combat strength.
Once he mastered divine power burning techniques, they could even reach tenth-tier.
A million tenth-tier clones.
Luo Fan had already begun planning how to destroy the Purple Moon Sacred Land.
...
Inside the Original Universe clone.
The mechanical race clone moved its consciousness to the edge of the internal universe.
It stepped directly into the Universe Sea.
Previously, Luo Fan always used wormholes to travel, to avoid exposing this small universe.
But recently, due to the Eternal Ancient City, no one was monitoring the area.
Even the fact that this Original Universe clone had a diameter of 1.2 trillion light-years remained unknown.
And now, Luo Fan no longer feared exposure.
The mechanical clone activated the system.
"System, claim reward!"
In the next moment, a massive warship appeared within the system space.
Without hesitation, he released it.
A warship larger than the Original Universe suddenly appeared beside the clone.
"What the hell!"
Luo Fan could not help but curse.
The Universe Boat was not even one hundred million light-years long.
But this Origin Sea Boat was larger than the Original Universe itself.
The Original Universe was the largest celestial body in the Universe Sea.
It spanned trillions of light-years.
But this Origin Sea Boat exceeded ten trillion light-years in length.
Just as Luo Fan was about to store it, a will descended.
His mechanical clone froze instantly.
This will was emotionless, focused entirely on the Origin Sea Boat.
Another faint will, curious and confused, also appeared.
Luo Fan recognized them.
One was the Supreme Rules.
The other was the will of the Original Universe.
The Origin Sea Boat had even alarmed the Supreme Rules.
As he wondered how to store it, the ship emitted a wave of energy.
The suppression vanished.
At the same time, Luo Fan noticed something shocking.
Previously, when viewing the Wu Kingdom inheritance, he could only retain information up to the True God limit.
Anything beyond was instantly forgotten.
This was due to the Supreme Rules.
But now, he could remember everything.
However, only the mechanical clone near the Origin Sea Boat retained the memory.
The others only knew through shared memory.
Luo Fan immediately understood.
It was because of the Origin Sea Boat.
The Supreme Rules had been repelled.
The Origin Sea Boat was at least on the same level as the Supreme Rules, if not higher.
At that moment, Luo Fan abandoned the idea of storing it.
There was no need.
He had only been cautious before because of the Supreme Rules.
Now, there was nothing to fear.
The mechanical clone summoned spatial worm clones and entered the Origin Sea Boat.
It was too large to fully perceive.
Its length exceeded ten trillion light-years, width three trillion, and height five trillion.
For some reason, it existed in its own spacetime.
It did not collide with anything in the Universe Sea.
It was like a phantom.
Only clones in the three great dangerous zones could vaguely perceive parts of it.
Experts across the Universe Sea also saw it.
They were completely shocked.
They had no idea where it came from.
Some quickly reacted and prepared to investigate.
The mechanical clone ignored them.
He led several clones into the ship.
Any location could open an entrance.
A spatial passage appeared.
Without hesitation, they stepped inside.
"Master, the Origin Sea Boat welcomes your arrival!"
