Human Territory, Ganwu Universe Country.
On an unnamed mineral planet, a dazzling purple light suddenly shone, and then two figures appeared in the light with spatial fluctuations.
Ender stood on the unnamed mineral planet, gazing at the endless starry sky Universe, feeling a little excited.
After more than 20,000 years, he had returned to the Ganwu Universe Country.
"Mullie, from today onwards, you are my Immortal subordinate."
Ender turned his head and said to White-maned werewolf Mullie behind him, "Did you receive the transfer order from the Virtual Universe Company?"
"I did, Lord," Mullie said respectfully, bowing his head.
Ender was unaccustomed to being called 'Lord' by Mullie, so he smiled and said, "You should still call me Your Highness. When I become a Universe Venerable, then you can change your address."
"Yes, Your Highness." Mullie's eyes showed a touch of emotion.
In his opinion, Ender asking him to continue calling him Your Highness clearly showed affection for him, his Immortal guard; otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed him to use the former address.
"Mullie, there's nothing much for now. You can return to your Family. I imagine it's been a long time since you've been back."
Ender said softly, "I will be Cultivating in seclusion for a long time from now on and won't be active in the Universe in the short term. If needed, I will contact you."
Since becoming an Immortal, Ender's strength could suppress ordinary Universe Venerables. With the advantage of his Immortal Energy and Heavy Treasure, he could even contend with intermediate Universe Venerables.
However, his secret techniques were only at the ordinary Universe Venerable level. It would be difficult for him to contend with Advanced Universe Venerables!
Therefore, he needed to perfect his existing secret techniques and try to create new ones using the Wood-Space Fusion Laws to match his Immortal Energy, which was no less than that of a Universe Venerable.
"Understood."
Mullie nodded upon hearing this. "Your subordinate will arrive at the first opportunity upon receiving Your Highness's command."
"Hmm."
Ender nodded slightly, then used Space Teleportation to leave.
"Farewell, Your Highness."
Feeling the spatial fluctuations, Mullie respectfully bowed.
"My tribal Family, it's been a long time since I've been back…"
After a long while, he looked up at the endless starry sky Universe. "Now, I finally have the opportunity."
To compete for the qualification of the Primal Secret Realm Guard Leader, Mullie had been working for the Virtual Universe Company and rarely had the opportunity to return to his tribal Family.
By the eve of becoming Ender's Guard Leader, he hadn't been back for hundreds of thousands of years, and after becoming the Guard Leader, he had even less opportunity!
Hundreds of thousands of years might not seem long for an Immortal, but for a tribal Family, it was a long time, and their descendants had multiplied into tens of thousands of generations.
"I'm going home."
Mullie's wolfish muzzle curved upwards, revealing a heartfelt smile of joy.
Amidst the flashing purple light, spatial fluctuations appeared, and Mullie vanished within them, his Divine Kingdom teleporting him away from this place.
…
Ganwu Universe Country, dark, desolate starry sky.
Buzz!
As ripples spread through space, Ender's figure appeared with the spatial fluctuations.
"This will do."
After more than ten Space Teleportations, he arrived in this desolate, dark starry sky.
Generally, a Pinnacle-Level Immortal's single Space Teleportation distance is several light-years.
Although Ender had only recently become an Immortal, his Immortal Energy was even more formidable than that of an ordinary Universe Venerable, so his Space Teleportation distance naturally far exceeded that of a typical Pinnacle-Level Immortal.
However, due to not having fully comprehended the complete Space Law, he couldn't perform a single Space Teleportation of thousands of light-years like a Universe Venerable, but he could still manage nearly a hundred light-years per Space Teleportation.
Rip!
Ender waved his hand, and a rifts immediately appeared in the Universe space. He then stepped into the spatial interlayer.
…
The spatial interlayer can be divided into thousands of layers.
The first layer is spatial fragments.
The second layer is the Divine Kingdom layer.
The third layer is the spatial torrent layer…
In fact, this classification is made by ordinary Immortal. In the eyes of true super powerhouses, the spatial interlayer is just an immensely vast single layer.
The closer to the Original Universe, the smaller the spatial fragments; the further from the Original Universe, the larger the spatial fragments!
The deeper into the spatial interlayer… the greater the threat.
In the safest areas, even a World Master can survive. As one goes deeper, it becomes increasingly dangerous, with some places where even a Universe Venerable can perish!
Buzz!
Through Space Teleportation, Ender swiftly passed through the Divine Kingdom layer and entered the spatial torrent layer.
Then, he took out the newly exchanged top-tier Heavy Treasure of the flying palace type from his world ring—the Blazing Path Palace.
The Blazing Path Palace, when first taken out, was only the size of a normal human palm. It was an ancient, crimson palace with countless flame patterns on its surface, emitting waves of scorching aura.
After enlarging the Blazing Path Palace, Ender entered it and controlled the palace to fly deeper into the spatial torrent layer.
The countless flame patterns on the crimson palace lit up, trailing a long, crimson tail as it sailed deeper into the spatial torrent layer.
…
Inside the palace.
Ender controlled the Blazing Path Palace to avoid large spatial fragments through virtual external scene simulation. If he couldn't avoid them, he would use Space Teleportation to bypass them.
Although the Blazing Path Palace, a top-tier Heavy Treasure of the flying palace type, was unharmed when colliding with spatial fragments, it was also difficult for it to shatter those massive spatial fragments. Therefore, it was better to bypass them directly to avoid wasting time.
However, those smaller spatial fragments were different. If it was difficult to bypass them, he would control the Blazing Path Palace to crash through them!
Boom!
The crimson streaking light collided with a spatial fragment with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers, shattering it into numerous spatial fragments of varying sizes.
"Exhilarating!"
Ender's face broke into a smile as he felt the Blazing Path Palace's flying speed and its sturdiness, which could easily shatter a 100,000-kilometer-diameter spatial fragment.
"As expected of a top-tier Heavy Treasure worth nearly 2500 Heavy Treasure points, both its flying speed and sturdiness are excellent."
He smiled and said, "If an ordinary Immortal were to be directly hit by a rapid impact from a spatial fragment with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers, they would likely lose a lot of Immortal Energy, and there might even be a risk of falling."
Ordinary Immortals do not possess an Immortal Body; once their Immortal Energy is shattered, they will perish directly.
For instance, when Ender first entered the Extraterritorial Battlefield, he forced several alien Military Lord Immortals to flee into the spatial interlayer, and among them, an alien Military Lord Immortal perished from a spatial fragment collision.
And at that time, the alien Military Lord Immortal perished in the Divine Kingdom layer, which is even more dangerous than the spatial torrent layer!
"Generally, Immortal, when building their Divine Kingdom, often choose the relatively safer Divine Kingdom layer."
Ender murmured to himself, "Whereas powerhouses will build or transfer their Divine Kingdom to the spatial torrent layer, and as their strength grows, they will move deeper into the spatial torrent layer."
For the Divine Kingdom of a powerhouse, the deeper into the spatial torrent layer, the harder it is to be discovered, and naturally, the safer it is.
"The spatial fragments are getting bigger and bigger."
Ender, through the virtual external scene simulation, saw increasingly massive spatial fragments outside, many already reaching hundreds of millions of kilometers in diameter, and occasionally even spatial fragments hundreds of billions of kilometers in diameter flying past.
"Not enough, these spatial fragments are too small."
He said softly, "My inner world has a diameter of over a hundred billion kilometers; I need to find a spatial fragment that is over a hundred billion kilometers in length, width, and height."
When he Breakthrough and became an Immortal, due to Cultivating the "Nine Revolutions Yuan Heavy Body Refining Method," Ender's Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone alone was 640 million kilometers tall.
The diameter of its canopy was even larger than this number, and the reach of its roots was even greater than its canopy!
It was precisely for this reason that his inner world reached a diameter of over a hundred billion kilometers.
…
The crimson streak of light formed by the Blazing Path Palace bypassed massive spatial fragments, some of which had already given birth to land and water within them.
And these massive spatial fragments were all flying at high speed, their impact force terrifying. Once hit...
For example, being hit by a spatial fragment with a diameter of 10 billion kilometers is equivalent to a collision with a massive landmass of 10 billion kilometers. Under this 'impact force,' even a Marquis-level Immortal with an Immortal Body would instantly be annihilated.
"Hmm… that spatial fragment is good."
Ender, through the virtual external scene simulation, discovered a spatial fragment with a diameter of several hundred billion kilometers, within which complex landforms had already evolved into continents.
Whoosh!
He Space Teleported with the Blazing Path Palace, passing several rapidly flying massive spatial fragments, and arrived before the spatial fragment with a diameter of several hundred billion kilometers. He continuously used Space Teleportation to measure and examine the spatial fragment.
"The maximum diameter is about 410 billion kilometers, and the minimum diameter is about 230 billion kilometers, which is sufficient for integrating the inner world."
Having selected the spatial fragment, Ender Space Teleported away from the Blazing Path Palace and, in the endless Universe torrent, activated his inner world.
Instantly, an invisible energy burst forth from his inner world, directly locking onto the massive spatial fragment in the distance.
Whoosh…
A colossal world faintly appeared in mid-air. This world seemed to exist in illusion, in another dimension, and began to gradually fly towards the massive spatial fragment, while the spatial fragment also flew towards it.
One illusory, one real, gradually drawing closer.
Rumble…
The surrounding space trembled, and other spatial fragments all moved aside. The faintly visible illusory world gradually merged with the massive spatial fragment, becoming stable, and a real world began to be born.
A moment later, the world that had seemed illusory completely disappeared, leaving only an incredibly real world.
That was—the Divine Kingdom!
Whoosh!
Ender, with a single Space Teleportation, directly entered the Divine Kingdom.
The Divine Kingdom was vast, filled with endless Divine Might, and its edges were still continuously expanding outwards.
Compared to the Divine Kingdom, the Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone, which was 640 million kilometers tall, and the root extension range, which had a diameter larger than 640 million kilometers, seemed rather inconspicuous.
"Divine Palace, rise!"
Ender stood at the very top of the Divine Kingdom, his will controlling a large amount of Immortal Energy to converge, and a majestic Divine Palace gradually took shape.
This was a Divine Palace emitting dazzling emerald green light, permeated with a rich Wood Law aura. The top of the Divine Palace was pointed, and as soon as this Divine Palace took shape, it naturally became the core of the entire Divine Kingdom.
"This is my Divine Kingdom."
Ender closed his eyes, as if he had transformed into the entire Divine Kingdom, and everything within the Divine Kingdom was clear in his mind.
Mountains!
Grasslands!
Swamps!
Deserts!
Oases!
Lakes!
Ender closed his eyes and sensed carefully. At this moment, the Divine Kingdom and he had become one. In this Divine Kingdom, when the Gu Yu Ancient Tree's Innate Secret Technique 'Gu Yu Cage' combined with the Divine Kingdom, his strength would surge tenfold, even a hundredfold!
In this Divine Kingdom, he was like the Dominator of everything, a God!
The mere might of the Divine Kingdom was enough to annihilate some weaker Universe Venerables!
"No wonder they say the Divine Kingdom is incredibly important for an Immortal…"
After a long while, Ender slowly opened his eyes, "Because the Divine Kingdom is me, and I am the Divine Kingdom."
"An Immortal who loses their Divine Kingdom is like losing another self. Before the Divine Kingdom is re-established, their strength naturally struggles to progress."
The Foundation of the Divine Kingdom is very important; the inner world is the Foundation of the Divine Kingdom!
It's like the "Foundation" of a skyscraper; if the Foundation is poor, then it will be much worse from the Innate.
Ender's inner world reached a diameter of a hundred billion kilometers, causing his Divine Kingdom, upon his initial entry into Immortal and its establishment, to rival that of many Universe Venerables, with an exceptionally stable Foundation.
"With the Gu Yu Ancient Tree guarding the Divine Kingdom, even a Universe Overlord who breaks in won't gain any advantage."
Ender murmured softly, "The only drawback is that the Gu Yu Ancient Tree doesn't have a Soul defense Heavy Treasure, but my current Soul will is no weaker than a Universe Overlord's. As long as a Universe Master doesn't break in, it won't be a big problem."
When he was a World Master, his Soul will had already reached the limit of a Pinnacle-Level Immortal. After defeating Kedi in the Secret Realm competition, his mind was further sublimated. Although it hadn't reached the will of a Universe Master, it was extremely close.
Now that he had Breakthrough and become an Immortal, the solidity of his Immortal Energy was extremely high. Coupled with his 8092-fold life gene level, his Soul will had received an extremely exaggerated enhancement, definitely no weaker than a Universe Overlord!
Furthermore, his main battle Clone was his human main body, and his human main body possessed the Soul Type Arcana Treasure Molten Fire Legacy Crystal. Even if a Universe Master wanted to invade and control his Soul, they wouldn't be able to do so.
"In the future, I need to take in more Soul servants so I won't have to worry about exposing my Divine Kingdom's coordinates."
Ender did not plan to use Divine Kingdom Teleportation. In the future, his Soul slaves or Immortal plant life subordinates would handle it, at most, the Divine Kingdom Teleportation speed would be a bit slower.
"Although my current strength is very strong, it is still not enough for me to return to my Family recklessly. When I become a Universe Venerable…"
He remembered King Hongzhi's tragic experience and did not want to become the second King Hongzhi.
"The Divine Kingdom has been established. It's time to return to the Primal Secret Realm for secluded Cultivation to perfect my secret techniques."
Although he had already Breakthrough and become an Immortal, Ender still resided within the Primal Secret Realm, just not in the Wuchen Time and Space where the Geniuses of the Primal Secret Realm were located.
Taking out the Cloud Vine from his world ring, he instructed, "Cloud-Caressing, Divine Kingdom Teleportation, return to the Primal Secret Realm."
…
Primal Secret Realm, within the Thousand Treasure River territory.
Ender went to his newly assigned palace. The scale of his palace was no less than that of the Universe Venerables residing there.
He wasn't very clear about why his palace was of such a scale, as it was allocated by the Virtual Universe Company.
Entering the palace, Ender instructed King Branchwater and his two other Soul servants to guard it, then began his secluded Cultivation to perfect and create secret techniques.
…
Fifty thousand years later.
Virtual Universe, a certain Special Space.
In the endless darkness, faint specks of starlight shimmered in the distance.
A simple Divine Palace floated in mid-air.
In front of the Divine Palace, on a not-too-large open space, there was a long stone table. The main seat of the stone table had only one stone chair, while on both sides, there were rows of stone chairs. At this moment, majestic figures were already seated on these stone chairs.
"Huge Axe, why have you summoned us?"
A great being, with a terrifying appearance, covered in complex scales, and three sharp horns on his head, looking like a humanoid alien beast at first glance, asked.
On the main seat, the wild man, Huge Axe, with disheveled hair, did not speak.
On the other side, Ice Summit Master, clad in blood-stained battle armor, with a battle sword on his back and greying temples, said in a cold tone, " Flame Emperor, he betrayed us!"
