Virtual Universe, Yuan Chen Continent, Luo Jia Island.
In a luxurious manor occupying a vast area, there was a spacious meeting hall. Fifteen Marquis-level Immortals sat around a round table, their faces solemn.
Besides the fifteen Marquis-level Immortals at the round table, there were also over a thousand chairs arranged in an outer high, inner low formation, with an Immortal seated on each chair.
Over a thousand Immortals gathered together, and although Immortal pressure filled the entire meeting hall, the atmosphere was exceptionally oppressive and heavy.
Marquis Zhuhan, seated at the round table, looked at the Marquis-level Immortal clansmen around the table and said in a deep voice, "According to the intelligence provided by various branch lineages, we are facing an unprecedented crisis. The fall of the Ancestor has caused the forces we suppressed to show signs of rising, and they want to take a bite out of us."
"Although the Ancestor has fallen, it is inevitable that he will be resurrected given his status, but we cannot determine the time of his resurrection."
Marquis Zhuhan continued, "Before the Ancestor is resurrected, we will try our best not to have intense conflicts with other major forces, but we must resolutely strike back at the probes from minor forces. We absolutely cannot let minor forces climb over our Lorgar Tribe and act wildly!"
A Marquis-level Immortal wearing blood-red armor nodded and said, "As long as the Ancestor is resurrected, everything will be fine. What belongs to us will eventually return to our hands. Temporary abandonment is only for a better return."
A female Marquis-level Immortal wearing white battle armor said, "That's right, but we must also respond to challenges from some major forces. This is unavoidable; avoidance cannot solve the problem."
Another Marquis-level Immortal said, "The Ancestor's resurrection time cannot be determined. If the Ancestor's resurrection takes tens of thousands of epochs, then our retreat during that tens of thousands of epochs will lead us into an unprecedented decline."
Listening to the speeches of several Marquis-level Immortals, Marquis Zhuhan said in a deep voice, "I have considered this point. I will apply to the Universe Venerable for the King-level Immortal title certification."
"Zhu Han!" The female Marquis-level Immortal in white battle armor asked in surprise, "You've reached the King-level Immortal?"
"Mmm." Zhuhan's expression was calm, as if everything was under his control.
"Haha! Zhu Han, your Breakthrough is just in time. With your existence as a King-level Immortal, we no longer need to fear those ordinary King-level Immortal families."
"Yes, just in time."
Seeing Zhuhan nod, it was like a bomb exploding in the oppressive meeting hall, bringing the first smiles in months to the faces of the thousands of Immortals.
Looking at the joyful clansmen, Zhuhan's face remained calm, but his heart felt somewhat heavy.
With his barely King-level Immortal strength, if he accumulated a few more years, he would certainly become a King-level Immortal expert. If possible, he did not want to obtain the King Level Immortal title through external means.
But now, the clan crisis brought by the Ancestor's fall forced him to step forward, and thus he could only achieve King-level Immortal through external means.
Zhuhan calculated in his mind, "Compared to a true King Level Immortal, my attainments in Soul, flight, and Secret Techniques are somewhat lacking. I can only rely on treasures to make up for these gaps."
"There are treasures left by the Ancestor in the Treasure Points. With these treasures, my strength should be able to reach close to High Stage King-Level, and with this level of strength, I can block most crises."
"Sigh!" Suddenly, Zhuhan sighed to himself, "If the relationship hadn't been severed, Ender might have become a member of my Lorgar Tribe. With him around, I wouldn't need to rely on external forces."
As soon as he thought of Ender, Zhuhan felt endless regret. If he had been able to pull Ender into the Lorgar Tribe back then, even if the Ancestor had fallen, other forces would not have dared to provoke them.
A Prodigy-level Genius who appears once every tens of millions of epochs, a Personal Disciple who surpasses a Universe Venerable's existence—this is absolutely not someone an ordinary Immortal can afford to provoke!
In fact, not only Zhuhan regretted it, but many Lorgar Tribe Immortals also felt annoyed. If they had known in advance that the Ancestor would fall, they would have absolutely spared no effort to befriend Ender and tried every means to pull him into the Lorgar Tribe.
"It's ultimately a missed opportunity." Zhuhan sighed again in his heart, "I can only do my best to hold on until the Ancestor is resurrected."
The pillar of the Lorgar Tribe was King Hongzhi. As long as King Hongzhi could be resurrected, all the crises faced by the Lorgar Tribe would be resolved. This was also why the Immortals of the Lorgar Tribe were confident that persistence alone would lead to victory.
What they didn't know was that the last time King Hongzhi was resurrected, his friends paid for the resurrection service, and these friends obviously couldn't pay for his resurrection again this time, as they also had their own lives to live.
Therefore, King Hongzhi, upon his future resurrection, was bound to fall into a long period of working to pay off debts.
...
Primal Secret Realm.
A dark-red prismatic Universe spaceship was traveling through the Dark Universe towards Wu Chen Time-Space.
Inside the spaceship cabin.
Ender sat cross-legged, Cultivating. The guidance he received from Seventh Senior Brother Venerable Lingtu in the Virtual Universe had deepened his Comprehension Ability of Space Law even further.
"According to Seventh Senior Brother, it's very difficult to Comprehend higher Laws later on, and he can't guide me too much, especially the closer one gets to complete Comprehension, the more important the Comprehension Ability opportunity becomes."
Ender recalled, "Normally, a King-level Immortal Pinnacle's Law Comprehension Ability can reach Tongtian Bridge Twentieth Layer, but the gap between the twentieth layer and the twentieth layer is very large. Comprehending one higher Law profoundness is the twentieth layer, and Comprehending three profoundness is also the twentieth layer."
"But the latter's twentieth layer can easily crush the former. This is also why there is such a huge gap between King-level Immortal Pinnacle and Immortal Limit-stage King level, who are nearly invincible."
It was relatively easy for a Immortal Limit-stage King level, who was nearly invincible, to kill a King-level Immortal Pinnacle. As long as they were willing to burn about five percent of their Immortal Divine Power, they could completely annihilate the King-level Immortal Pinnacle's Divine Body.
Ender thought to himself, "According to the Cultivation plan, I will not be distracted by Comprehending Wood-Space Fusion Laws until my Space Origin Law Comprehension Ability reaches Tongtian Bridge Twentieth Layer."
He never doubted whether his Space Origin Law Comprehension Ability could reach Tongtian Bridge Twentieth Layer.
"A World Master's Law Comprehension Ability speed is at least ten thousand times that of a Domain Master."
He sighed in his heart, "For me, reaching Tongtian Bridge Twentieth Layer in Law Comprehension Ability during the World Master period might be less difficult than reaching Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer during the Domain Master period."
In terms of Law affinity talent, his human main body was not weak in Space Origin Law. Coupled with the enhancement of Gu Yu Ancient Tree's Space Law talent, it made it easier for him to Comprehend Space Law.
What's more, he had also fused ten Blood River Crystals to become a Blood Warrior. Once he activated Blood River Power, his compatibility with the Universe Origin would increase threefold, and his Law Comprehension Ability speed would also increase by a staggering threefold!
Moreover, fusing ten Blood River Crystals was something that happened at the Universe Level. Now, both his physical quality and Soul will had improved significantly, allowing him to fuse more Blood River Crystals.
Although Blood River Power would not undergo a qualitative change when the total number of fused Blood River Crystals did not reach one hundred, as long as Blood River Crystals were fused, the effect of Blood River Power could be slightly improved. Even if Law affinity only increased by a little, it was a huge improvement for Law Comprehension Ability.
"Improving Law Comprehension Ability to Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer at the Domain Master is no small test."
Ender thought to himself, "I need to be prepared to Cultivate for thousands or tens of thousands of years in Primal Chaos City. In order to obtain the treasure rewarded by my teacher, I must pass the Domain Master Level Primal Sky Mountain."
"To reach Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer in Law Comprehension Ability and pass the Domain Master Level Primal Sky Mountain, fusing Blood River Crystals is indispensable."
"Now that I have entered the Primal Secret Realm, I am not far from Wu Chen Time-Space. Once I get the No. 1 branch tree, I will apply to go to the Beginning Universe."
He mused, "Hmm... Fusing Blood River Crystals can wait until I enter Primal Chaos City. Anyway, I have permanent residency in Primal Chaos City."
"Your Highness." Mullie's voice came from outside the cabin door, "We have arrived at Wu Chen Time-Space."
"Understood."
Ender responded, got up and walked out of the quiet room, and then the two of them left the spaceship together.
As soon as he exited the cabin door, he saw the 136 giant stars constantly rotating in the Void, as well as the golden Universe spaceship responsible for picking him up.
"Welcome, Your Highness Ender, back to Wu Chen Time-Space."
Outside the golden Universe spaceship's cabin door, two men and one woman in white uniforms stood, bowing respectfully to Ender. The woman among them said, "We will be responsible for escorting Your Highness into Wu Chen Time-Space."
"Mmm, let's go."
Ender nodded slightly, put the Shadow Dragon behind him into his World Ring, and then flew towards the golden spaceship with Mullie.
The three staff members in white uniforms respectfully welcomed Ender into the spaceship, and then entered the heavily guarded Wu Chen Time-Space.
...
Wu Chen Continent.
Whoosh!
A golden Universe spaceship flew from outside Wu Chen Continent and parked above the lawn of a manor.
On the manor lawn, tens of thousands of manor servants were already respectfully kneeling. With the arrival of the golden spaceship, these servants became even more respectful.
With a "hiss," the golden spaceship's cabin door opened, and Ender, accompanied by Mullie, flew out from the cabin door.
The tens of thousands of kneeling servants said in unison, "Welcome, Your Highness."
"Everyone, rise."
Ender nodded slightly, turned to Mullie behind him, and said, "I'll leave the manor to you. I'm going to Primal Chaos City for closed-door Cultivation next."
"Yes, Your Highness." Mullie bowed respectfully.
Whoosh.
Because upon returning to Wu Chen Continent, Ender had already submitted an application to the Virtual Universe Company to go to Primal Chaos City. His time was relatively tight now, so he didn't say much to everyone and flew directly to the manor's special garden.
Soon.
He arrived at the garden. There weren't many plants here. Besides a few ornamental flowers and plants, there was only a one-meter-tall small tree emitting a Universe Level First Order aura, which was precisely the Gu Yu Ancient Tree No. 1 branch tree.
"My human main body's true form is over 10 kilometers tall. Even if it's shrunk 100 times, it's still over 100 meters tall."
Ender sighed softly, "Although the Law Comprehension Ability speed of the Universe Level First Order No. 1 branch tree is slow, it's only one meter tall and must be taken to Primal Chaos City. A human main body of that size can't live on the rooftop."
"Hmm... The issue of body height isn't without a solution."
His thoughts shifted, "I have now Cultivated the third layer of 'Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body' to Major Achievement. I can completely apply to my teacher for the fourth layer."
Although he didn't know the situation of others Cultivating "Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body," he himself had made rapid progress in Cultivation, reaching the Major Achievement of the third layer within a few hundred years.
"'Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body' is not only a body-shrinking Secret Technique but also a body amplitude Secret Technique."
Ender thought to himself, "If I can successfully Cultivate the fourth layer, it will be of great help to me when I challenge the Domain Master Level Primal Sky Mountain in the future."
"Hmm, I'll go see my teacher once I enter Primal Chaos City." He made up his mind.
Not long after putting away the No. 1 branch tree, Ender received an email from the Virtual Universe Company, stating that the Universe spaceship coming to pick him up had arrived.
He hurried over, boarded the spaceship, and left Wu Chen Time-Space, heading towards the Beginning Universe passage in the Primal Secret Realm.
Beginning Universe.
The Human Race's first Miniature Universe, owned by the Virtual Universe Company, but the Primal Chaos City within it was jointly managed by the five Leviathans of Humanity.
There were two passages to the Beginning Universe: one was at the Virtual Universe Company's pan-Universe headquarters.
The other was in the Primal Secret Realm, which was why the Primal Secret Realm was so important to the Virtual Universe Company.
It was no exaggeration to say that in terms of importance, the Primal Secret Realm surpassed the pan-Universe headquarters.
...
Primal Secret Realm, Beginning Universe Passage.
Outside a huge spatial passage that seemed to contain endless time-space energy, a fish-shaped Universe spaceship was flying towards a white circular light gate.
Inside the spaceship, in the vast hall, there were dozens of people.
These dozens of people were either alone or gathered in small groups of two or three with acquaintances, chatting via voice transmission. In addition, there were nine Immortals meditating alone with their eyes closed.
Because they were traveling from the Primal Secret Realm to the Beginning Universe, all the people inside the spaceship were members of the Virtual Universe Company, including many core members from the four Secret Realms.
As a Genius who appeared once every tens of millions of epochs, and a Personal Disciple who surpassed a Universe Venerable's existence, Ender's reputation was immense.
Upon entering the spaceship, he had already attracted everyone's attention, and the discussions among the many Geniuses from the four Secret Realms also revolved around him.
Suddenly, a person wearing a light-white hooded trench coat, resembling a woman, walked over.
"Ender, long time no see."
A familiar female voice with a hint of allure echoed in Ender's mind.
"Mmm."
Looking at the person in the light-white trench coat walking towards him, Ender saw a familiar face, "Fei."
That's right, the person in the light-white trench coat was none other than 'Fei,' the Fox Clan woman he had fought against in the Pinnacle Genius Battle.
Having been in the Core Region of the Virtual Universe Company for several hundred years, Ender hadn't paid too much attention to 'Fei's' information. He still remembered that she, like Manle, was currently in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.
It was said that she had the strength to challenge the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm, but compared to the veterans in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, her strength was still somewhat lacking, making it difficult to challenge the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm.
"Long time no see."
Ender also nodded slightly. He indeed hadn't seen Fei for a long time.
Or rather, among the core Geniuses who entered the Virtual Universe Company in their batch, apart from Kedi and Manle, who would gather every ten years or so, they truly hadn't seen many other Geniuses.
"Manle told me that you, he, and Kedi formed a small circle and would gather from time to time." Fei teased, "I'm also one of the top four, why don't you include me?"
