Yu Xiang Mountain, Primal Secret Realm Manor.
Ender sat on the sofa in the study, and just as he opened the email from the Virtual Universe Company, he received a video call request from his father, Derrick.
Accepting the video call request, a light screen appeared in front of Ender, displaying his father's Face.
"Father," Ender called out.
"Eleven, your Eldest Senior Brother told me you left Ancient Jade Star immediately after the judgment ended. Did something happen?" Derrick asked with concern.
"Father, you don't need to worry, nothing happened." Ender shook his head slightly and said, "It's just that I need to rush back to the Virtual Universe Company. My teacher arranged for me to Cultivate in Primal Chaos City."
"I see." The expression on Derrick's Face visibly relaxed a lot.
"Father, please tell Mother that this Cultivation in Primal Chaos City will take a very long time, probably thousands or even several thousand years," Ender said. "From now on, if we want to meet, it can only be in the Virtual Universe."
"You focus on your Cultivation. It's fine if we can meet in the Virtual Universe; there isn't much difference between the Virtual Universe and reality," Derrick said. "Besides, your mother and I are at the Universe Level after all. A few thousand years is nothing."
Listening to this, Ender still felt a bit sad. Ever since he left Kuka Planet, he had few opportunities to be with his parents.
Originally, after Breaking Through to become a Domain Master and being sent out as a Supervisor Envoy to the Ganwu Universe Country, he had wanted to spend more time with his parents.
However, he didn't expect to encounter an assassination attempt by Marquis Tian Yi, which directly made it impossible for him to return to his hometown, Kuka Planet, for a long time in the future, and naturally, he couldn't reunite with his parents in reality either.
"Father," Ender said softly.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Derrick asked, puzzled.
"The stronger one is, the lower the probability of having offspring," Ender said with a smile, advising, "So, you and Mother need to hurry."
Derrick was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "Got it..."
After chatting for a couple more sentences and ending the video call, Ender zoned out for a bit before finally looking at the email from the Virtual Universe Company.
[You have completed the fourth stage of the Highest Points Mission. After evaluation by numerous members, your completion rate for the fourth stage is 81%, earning you 1.62 million points. The Highest Points Mission is now concluded.]
"81% completion rate..."
Seeing the completion rate of the final stage of the Highest Points Mission, Ender was a bit surprised. He had thought that the high-ranking officials who set the mission would give him a completion rate below 80%.
"What did the comments say?"
Ender mumbled to himself, continuing to read the email.
[Comments: The final stage of this mission was for you, Ender, to judge 32 members of your Family. You did indeed complete the judgment mission, but we provided you with four grades of judgment standards, yet you arbitrarily changed them to six grades.
Furthermore, your judgment of the younger generations of your Family was extremely strict; even those with the lightest crimes were sentenced to ten thousand years in Black Prison Star prison.
In stark contrast to the harshness towards the younger generations, your judgment of Family members you had spent time with was exceptionally lenient. Even your younger brother, who was involved in the lives of over a hundred billion people, was only sentenced to a hundred years in Black Prison Star prison.
From this, it can be seen that you are a person who values emotions greatly. Without deep emotional ties, even younger generations with slight Bloodline connections would not concern you much regarding their life or death; you would only judge them according to your own standards.
In summary, between public and private matters, you lean more towards the private, especially when it comes to emotional connections, even going so far as to violate certain rules.
Therefore, we can only give you an 81% completion rate for this mission. We hope you can abide by the rules and distinguish between public and private matters.]
After reading the comments for the final stage of the mission, Ender shook his head with a wry smile, "Heh, I broke the rules?"
He did not agree with the statement about breaking the rules in the comments. The mission only said 'imprisonment' and didn't specify where it should take place.
However, he agreed with the high-ranking officials who set the mission that his stance was biased between public and private matters, because he was indeed such a person.
For younger generations with no emotional connection, he regarded them as only slightly better than strangers, and this would not make him lower his judgment standards.
Moreover, his obvious double standards in judgment were not concealed at all; any clan member who watched the live broadcast of the judgment could see it.
Ender understood. He had heard his Seventh Senior Brother mention that the current high-ranking officials of the Virtual Universe Company were all very ancient Universe Venerable-level powerhouses. Their relatives had long since died over countless years, and apart from newly accepted Disciples, they had no one they cared about.
Furthermore, these ancient Universe Venerable-level powerhouses were the high-ranking officials of the Virtual Universe Company. From a high-level perspective, they hoped their subordinates could perfectly serve as tools, and naturally, they could openly tell him to understand the distinction between public and private.
"Emotions are possessed by all intelligent life forms; almost no one can escape the concept of emotions," Ender muttered to himself, his inner self unaffected by the comments.
Just as he said, even his teacher, Ice Summit Master, who was considered extremely cold and unapproachable by others, would act kindly towards his Disciples, even Official Disciples.
Ignoring the comments for the fourth stage of the mission, Ender opened the email with additional point rewards.
[Based on your performance in the first to fourth stages of the Highest Points Mission, you are awarded 3.81 million points. We hope you reflect on yourself.]
Looking at the amount of additional points in the email, Ender frowned slightly. He had thought that with the high completion rates of the first three stages, his additional points could reach over 4.5 million, but he didn't expect it to be less than 4 million.
The sum of the first stage (0.5 million), second stage (0.95 million), third stage (1.5 million), and fourth stage (1.62 million), plus the additional 3.81 million points, brings his total for the Highest Points Mission to 8.38 million points out of a total of 10 million, only slightly exceeding the 80% threshold.
Ender shook his head slightly, "Thankfully, it exceeded the threshold. If it hadn't even crossed the threshold, Manle would probably laugh at me."
"8.38 million points is enough for me for a very long time," he muttered. "It's only because my performance at the Universe Level was excellent that the Highest Points Mission reached its upper limit of 10 million points. Otherwise, if the total points were only two or three million, even reaching the 80% threshold would only yield a little over two million points."
For ordinary Primal Secret Realm Domain Master members, the total points for the Highest Points Mission were only around three million, and only those with better performance at the Universe Level could reach four million.
Only Geniuses of ten thousand epochs and above had the chance to reach a Highest Mission with a total of over five million points.
After all, passing the Universe Level Primal Sky Mountain only awarded 100 million points. If the total points for an ordinary Domain Master Highest Points Mission were too high, it would disrespect the Geniuses who passed the Universe Level Primal Sky Mountain.
After reading the additional points, Ender looked at the overall comments that followed...
[Overall Comments for Highest Points Mission: The first stage of the mission was simple, and you completed it perfectly. Your combat performance also met our expectations.
The second stage proved that you respect those who contribute to the Human Race, and that you deeply value and sympathize with the weak.
The third stage proved that you are not afraid of power and have firm beliefs.
You performed very well in the first three stages. If you had performed as well in the fourth stage as you did in the first three, your additional points would have been awarded above 4.5 million.
It was the same judgment, with people having both minor and major crimes, but when the mission target became Family members with emotional ties, your change astonished us!
In your view, Family members with emotional ties and those without are completely different entities. Your judgment of the former was extremely lenient, while the latter was as strict as strangers.
From this, it can be seen that your true nature is cold. Coldness also makes you value emotions more, and emotions have a greater impact on you, even leading to a disregard for public and private matters, and even laws.
Humans are indeed communal beings, and it is right to value emotions. However, everything has an appropriate degree, and you have clearly 'overdone' it in this regard. Please clearly recognize this point.]
"Cold by nature..." Ender was silent. "Perhaps."
For people without emotional ties, even if they were younger generations of the Family, he could treat them like strangers.
However, he did indeed pity the weak, and this also had to do with the fact that he was once weak himself.
"The Highest Points Mission is over. Next, I need to return to the Primal Secret Realm and go to Beginning Universe Primal Chaos City Lord to Cultivate."
Ender mumbled, suddenly a little surprised, "Is this Seventh Senior Brother's email?"
Opening the email, he couldn't help but smile slightly, "Hmm, I'll go see Seventh Senior Brother."
...
Virtual Universe, Venerable Lingtu's exclusive space.
It was a huge manor located among mountains, surrounded by towering peaks that reached into the clouds.
Since the manor was also on a mountain peak, its elevation was not low, and there were also some clouds and mist swirling between the buildings.
"Seventh Senior Brother."
Ender arrived at this manor in the exclusive space and met the owner of the space, Venerable Lingtu.
Venerable Lingtu, with smooth, hairless skin, smiled and said, "It seems you weren't affected by the evaluation of the Highest Points Mission."
Ender shook his head slightly and said, "Those comments can't affect me."
"It's good that you weren't affected. You don't need to pay attention to those old guys," Venerable Lingtu said with a smile. "How many points did you get?"
"8.38 million," Ender replied. "Not much over the 80% threshold."
"Oh? So your total points for the Highest Points Mission reached the upper limit of 10 million?" Venerable Lingtu nodded slightly. "That's right, after all, you passed the record-breaking Primal Sky Mountain. It's normal for your points to reach the upper limit."
"By the way, I heard you had some conflict with King Hongzhi of the Lorgar Tribe?" Venerable Lingtu asked again.
"Yes, there was indeed a small conflict."
Ender nodded slightly and explained his conflict with King Hongzhi and his relationship with the Lorgar Tribe.
"Haha, it's good that the relationship is broken," Venerable Lingtu laughed heartily. "Aside from King Hongzhi, there's no one else worth mentioning in the Lorgar Tribe, not even a King-level Immortal."
"The Lorgar Tribe was too arrogant, thinking that as long as King Hongzhi was there, their resources would be worry-free," Venerable Lingtu said. "But now, not only have they offended you, but their pillar, King Hongzhi, has also fallen."
"King Hongzhi fell?" Ender was surprised and quickly asked, "Seventh Senior Brother, when did this happen?"
"Not long ago, hmm..." Venerable Lingtu said, "It's said to have been a few months ago."
"King Hongzhi is an Invincible King-level powerhouse, and he's been in his old nest, Luo Jia Star, for many years. How could he have fallen?" Ender was surprised. "Could it be an assassination by a Universe Venerable?"
Venerable Lingtu shook his head slightly, "Although King Hongzhi's talent is not bad, he has already fallen once. It's not worth a Universe Venerable risking an assassination in our Human Race territory."
"He killed too much on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, which angered several Invincible King powerhouses from other races. He was surrounded and forced to self-detonate and fall."
Ender was even more puzzled, "Ah? King Hongzhi actually left Luo Jia Star and went to the Extraterritorial Battlefield?"
"He was provoked by those old guys," Venerable Lingtu said, looking at Ender and shaking his head. "Plus, you didn't give him any Face, making him kill 41 of his younger generations. He was holding a lot of anger inside."
"He probably wanted to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield to vent. Because of too much killing, and having already offended an alien Universe Overlord, he was forced to self-detonate by multiple Invincible King powerhouses."
Ender was surprised, "An alien Universe Overlord? How could King Hongzhi offend such an existence?"
an Invincible King, even the strongest Invincible King, is only equivalent to an elementary Universe Venerable level. How could he be involved with a Universe Overlord-level powerhouse?
"Let alone King Hongzhi, even I can't afford to provoke a Universe Overlord," Venerable Lingtu said. "Under normal circumstances, an Invincible King naturally wouldn't have dealings with a Universe Overlord-level powerhouse, but it's possible to have conflicts with the Disciples or descendants of such powerhouses."
"King Hongzhi was in the latter situation. He once Soul enslaved and killed a Pinnacle stage King-level Immortal on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, and that Pinnacle stage King-level Immortal was the only son of that Universe Overlord-level powerhouse."
"With his only son killed, that Universe Overlord-level powerhouse went completely mad, and then paid a huge price to assassinate King Hongzhi, successively having his wife, son, and even his beloved Personal Disciple Soul enslaved."
Venerable Lingtu said, "And King Hongzhi also collapsed after his wife, son, and Personal Disciple were successively Soul enslaved."
Ender suddenly understood, "So, King Hongzhi's downfall today is because of that Universe Overlord-level powerhouse's revenge."
"King Hongzhi's downfall to this extent indeed involved the revenge of that Universe Overlord powerhouse, but it also involved his own character flaws."
Venerable Lingtu warned, "You have Lorgar Tribe Bloodline, so you should know that the Lorgar Tribe generally has character flaws. You must not be affected by the character flaws brought by that Bloodline."
"Yes, Senior Brother." Ender nodded. "I will pay attention to this issue."
"You did very well returning to your hometown this time; you didn't stay too long," Venerable Lingtu said. "In our Human Race's history, many Geniuses were assassinated after returning to their hometowns. Not only were the individuals assassinated by alien races, but their hometowns were also implicated and destroyed."
"The assassinations by alien races are all-encompassing," Ender shook his head and said, "I encountered an assassination as soon as I returned to my hometown. Fortunately, there was a King Level Immortal powerhouse secretly protecting me, otherwise..."
"Later, I was afraid this would happen again, so I didn't stay in my hometown for too long."
"So you must strive to become a powerhouse. Once you become a powerhouse, you can return to your hometown at will, without worrying about alien assassinations," Venerable Lingtu said. "The Highest Points Mission is complete. What are your Cultivation plans now?"
"Teacher wants me to Cultivate in Primal Chaos City. I probably won't leave Primal Chaos City to venture out until I become a World Master," Ender replied.
"Teacher's intention..." Venerable Lingtu listened, thoughtfully, "Teacher hopes that Junior Brother will pass the Domain Master Primal Sky Mountain. Hmm... I'll just help him out."
Venerable Lingtu then said, "Junior Brother, do you still have any doubts about the Space Origin Law?"
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."
Ender understood that his Seventh Senior Brother was going to guide him, so he voiced his doubts.
And Venerable Lingtu moved his finger in the air, and various kinds of Space Law cracks appeared according to his will.
These Space Law cracks contained various Space Law mysteries, and he used these Space Law cracks to answer the doubts Ender raised...
