The giant "Big Fish" spaceship flew over an ancient city, a magnificent city situated in the vast Initial Universe.

Majestic and profound, enduring through the ages.

Wow!

The hatch in the belly area is opened.

1,000 geniuses flew out from it, then the hatch closed, and the "big fish" flicked its tail fin and swam away again, disappearing into the distance.

"Welcome, everyone, to Chaos City."

A clear voice rang out.

Many geniuses looked over and saw a black-robed man with blue scales on his head smiling and saying, "I am the reception envoy of Chaos City."

"Chaos City has a long history and is a sacred place for our human race!"

"This place is even older than most of the Universe Country you live in! It is currently jointly managed by Virtual Universe Company, Giant Axe Arena, Cosmic First Bank, Cosmic Galaxy Bank, and Cosmic Mercenary Alliance."

Silence.

A thousand young people looked at the messenger from Chaos City.

"Follow me, all of you." The welcoming messenger smiled and flew down.

All 1,000 people flew down from the sky and landed on the wide streets of Chaos City, quietly looking around.

Within Chaos City are rows of small buildings, and on the rooftops of many of these buildings, one can see people of all shapes and sizes, some sitting cross-legged in meditation, others deep in thought.

And in the Universe Space rift in the sky, one can vaguely see beings standing in mid-air.

"There are many Super Existence in Chaos City," the reception envoy said as he walked. "During your 30 years in Chaos City, you must not disturb them in their comprehension of the Origin Law. If such a thing happens, you will be disqualified from comprehension and sent out of the Initial Universe."

A group of people nodded.

They certainly wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

"Chaos City is the only city in the Initial Universe." The welcoming envoy led the group of young geniuses down the street.

As he walked, he pointed ahead. "That's the City Lord's Mansion."

Lin Yan gazed into the distance.

It was a magnificent and imposing building, over three hundred meters high, and you could see the three most dazzling Universal Language of the City Lord's Mansion from afar – "City Lord's Mansion"!

When Lin Yan saw the handwriting, he seemed to be irresistibly drawn into it, as if the handwriting itself formed a space, a universe, within itself.

"In Chaos City, there are three treasures," the Black-Robed Envoy said with a smile.

Um?

Everyone immediately focused their attention.

The Black-Robed Envoy pointed to the sky. "The first treasure is naturally the Laws of Cosmic Operation, which can be seen with the naked eye!"

"The manifest Laws of Cosmic Operation can make your comprehension ten times more efficient than that of the outside world!"

"The second treasure is within the city, specifically in the City Lord's Mansion." The Black-Robed Envoy pointed around. "The surrounding terraces of Cultivation Residence have been inhabited by powerful individuals over countless years. During their comprehension process, they would occasionally carve these structures, leaving behind many sculptures that embody the Origin Law of these powerful individuals' thinking."

"Most of these recordings were made spontaneously and without any pattern, and most of them can only serve as a reference at most."

"But!"

"Over countless millennia, among the records of sudden enlightenment, there are some that possess very strong and systematic cultivation value," the Black-Robed Envoy solemnly stated. "In my Chaos City, there are 52 Chaos Tablets. These 52 Chaos Tablets represent 52 great paths of cultivation, leading directly to the ultimate peak!"

"If you comprehend a Chaos Stele, you will directly become a true Super Existence in the universe. Even if you want to establish a Universe Country, it will be a piece of cake."

Upon hearing this,

The thousand young men and women were all excited.

These 52 Chaos Tablets, if one can comprehend even one, can make one a Venerable level being. What kind of treasure is this?

"The third treasure is located outside Chaos City. In the initial state of the universe, some strange creatures were naturally born. These creatures have strange appearances and are named 'Chaos Beast'. These Chaos Beast vary in strength and are naturally skilled in the Origin Law."

The Black-Robed Envoy sighed, "When a Chaos Beast Chaos Beast is killed, it will directly decay into a large amount of Chaos Qi and a kind of emerald green light spot. The Chaos Beast has no soul, only these life light spots, which are named 'Chaos True Spirit'."

"This 'Chaos True Spirit' is the third treasure of Chaos City. You only need to absorb it into your body, and it will be directly absorbed by your soul. After absorbing the Chaos True Spirit, your soul will undergo some changes and become more compatible with the Universe Space, making your understanding of the Universe Origin clearer."

Lin Yan's gaze sharpened.

The Chaos True Spirit is most effective for the soul.

It can transform the soul and make the perception of the fluctuations of the Universe Origin Law clearer. However, as it is continuously improved, its effectiveness will gradually decrease, and it will completely lose its effectiveness after reaching saturation.

But for him, it was of great benefit.

Lin Yan can increase the Psionic Amplitude Strength by cultivating the "Desireless" secret technique. In the past three years, due to the improvement of his Law Comprehension, his current Psionic Amplitude Strength is 103!

If we want to make further progress, we need to think of other ways.

He can improve his level, but that requires him to go to the "Original Secret Realm" of the Primordial Universe to obtain the Nutrient Fluid provided free of charge by the company. He can also gain a deeper Law Comprehension and improve his Soul Potential.

Of course, one can also rely on some treasures that are beneficial to the soul.

For example, the "Nine-Colored Eye Fruit" that has not yet been delivered to him, and the Chaos True Spirit within this Chaos Beast.

The increase in Soul Amplitude will have an immediate and significant impact on his strength.

"These three treasures of Chaos City are of great help to everyone's cultivation and comprehension."

The Black-Robed Envoy said, "Now, I will take you to choose and observe those 52 Chaos Tablets. Every cultivator who enters the Initial Universe will have one opportunity to comprehend them, and each person will have seven days to do so!"

"Seven days?"

A large group of people were dumbfounded.

That's way too short!

"The Chaos Stele is Supreme Treasure of humankind, conveying the path to the ultimate peak more clearly than any secret technique. Seven days of comprehension will be enough for you." The black-robed Venerable then walked towards the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

"The opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele is rare, so you must not waste these seven days."

"Now come in with me."

The gates of the majestic City Lord's Mansion were always wide open, with people frequently coming and going.

This is only the Outer Mansion. The Outer Mansion gates are always open to the public, and there is also a heavily guarded Inner Mansion inside!

Inner Mansion is a quiet courtyard, and outside the courtyard is a stone tablet with the three characters "Chaos Ruins" engraved on it!

The quiet courtyard appeared unremarkable from the outside.

But there is a hidden paradise inside.

Like a vast, desolate world, the endless land is littered with corpses. Some corpses are as large as planets, while others are smaller than humans. Yet each corpse exudes a terrifying aura that chills the heart!

It resembled the ruins of a terrifying Peak Battle.

A bald man dressed in a fiery red battle robe walked across this seemingly endless wasteland.

I could see a figure sitting cross-legged in the distance.

The Dark Red War Armor was incredibly complex and ancient, with a scaled tail protruding from the battle skirt, and a fierce face covered with strange and mysterious patterns beneath two fiery red horns.

"Teacher," the man in the fiery red battle robe approached and said respectfully.

Suddenly—

The man in the Dark Red War Armor opened his eyes, his gaze as calm as the vast ocean and as tranquil as the endless starry sky.

The man in the fiery red battle robe immediately bowed respectfully. "Teacher, the young talents of this year's Genius Battle have arrived in Chaos City."

"Hmm." A very ordinary voice rang out.

The man in Dark Red War Armor stood up. He was tall and burly, wearing battle boots, and the scales under his battle skirt swayed slightly.

He stood there, as if he were the very essence of the infinite Universe Law... those magnificent and vast Universe Law, incomparably powerful.

The man in the fiery red battle robe beside him thought to himself, "As expected of my teacher, the ruler of Chaos City, one of the most powerful beings in the vast universe! He is also the Controller of the Initial Universe, controlling all the power of the entire Initial Universe."

That's right.

This burly man, clad in Dark Red War Armor and radiating an aura of slaughter, is none other than the first person in charge of the Virtual Universe Company — the Chaos City Lord!

The Chaos City Lord has three avatars, each possessing incredible power. The one guarding Chaos City is the Master of Slaughter, constantly radiating an aura of killing intent.

Now.

The Chaos City Lord's gaze was distant, as if piercing through layers of space. The figures of the thousand geniuses appeared in his eyes, and their secrets were laid bare before him.

In fact.

Every batch of newly recruited geniuses, whether from the "Genius Battle," the "Strongest Battle," or the Core Member directly recruited by the five major forces, will come to Chaos City once.

One purpose was to allow them to choose a Chaos Stele so that they could know the path forward.

Secondly, we need to identify whether there are any spies from Alien Race among them. If, in the end, they are trained to become a powerful figure for Alien Race, wouldn't that be a huge joke?

In Chaos City, the Chaos City Lord can instantly see through everyone's true nature.

However, once one becomes Immortal God, the soul and body are completely integrated, and even every Spiritual Imprint is integrated into every cell, it becomes impossible to determine whether one is human based on the Spiritual Imprint.

Therefore, in the absence of confirmation, any "Immortal God" who comes to Chaos City for the first time is a suspect and is subject to surveillance.

"Huh?" The Chaos City Lord let out a soft exclamation.

In his gaze, he saw a young, burly man over three meters tall, with messy hair and bare feet, resembling Savage, exuding a bold and unrestrained aura.

A faint smile appeared on his face, "Intriguing that you didn't enter the Giant Axe Arena but instead joined my Virtual Universe Company."

The Chaos City Lord didn't pay much attention and continued to look at the other young figures.

In his observation, these geniuses had absolutely no secrets to hide.

Soon, his gaze fell on Luo Feng, and he immediately saw the Origin Core inside Luo Feng's body, which was covered with countless Golden Secret Patterns and emitted golden light.

"The Golden Horn Beast?"

The Chaos City Lord's gaze flickered slightly, passing directly through the Origin Core to see the Inner World within.

On a metallic continent.

A colossal beast covered in black scales was carefully sensing the rich fluctuations of the Origin Law of metal within its Inner World, attempting to comprehend the Origin Law of metal.

Beside him, the Moshazhu Race clone was practicing a secret technique from "Time-Space Essays" using War Blade.

"Soul Seizure the Golden Horn Beast is quite an opportunity. Among the Myriad Races in the universe, it can be considered 'above average'. Its bloodline talent ability 'clone' can create three clones. He is currently at the Cosmic level and has two slots. He chose between humans and the Moshazhu Race, which is good."

The Twelve Peak Bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts are nothing in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord, but he still feels that the young people in this year's Genius Battle are much more interesting than those in previous years.

He had only glanced at the previous tens of thousands of sessions, Pingping unremarkable.

At last.

The Chaos City Lord fixed his gaze on Lin Yan.

"Um?"

His expression immediately turned serious, and a sense of surprise and doubt arose in his heart.

A Transparent Crystal with 10081 facets is slowly rotating, radiating a pure light. It is engraved with mysterious tri-colored patterns that reflect each other on the Transparent Crystal, appearing and disappearing.

The mysterious black patterns resemble the tendons and veins of a human body.

"Light Web Crystal?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord. His knowledge was, of course, extremely broad, and he could see through the true nature of the Transparent Crystal at a glance.

Light Web Crystal is the core material of the top-tier "light and time" Fusion-type Origin Supreme Treasure. It can be said that by adding some materials, a top-tier Origin Supreme Treasure can be crafted.

Origin Supreme Treasure are already a very rare type of Supreme Treasure, let alone top-tier Origin Supreme Treasure, which even he needs to take seriously.

"This young man is incredibly lucky to have actually fused the prototype of the 'Light Web Crystal' into his own body. Normally, such a thing would only happen in a very rare case where the physique is perfectly compatible with the individual."

"Moreover, under these circumstances, the Life Gene Level can be greatly improved after fusion! It's a pity that it's only in its embryonic stage, otherwise it could easily reach a hundred times the Zhou Ji."

Even the Chaos City Lord was secretly amazed by this scene. It is extremely difficult to improve Life Gene Level. Even among beings at the Universe Venerable level, only a few can exceed ten times the Gene Level.

However, it's not so easy to see through the Life Gene Level, unless he deliberately uses a wisp of divine power to penetrate into the body to investigate.

However, the experience of the Chaos City Lord was enough for him to know that the young man's Life Gene Level must have been improved along with the fusion of the "Light Web Crystal prototype".

"Good, good, good." The Chaos City Lord was overjoyed. Given his status, he certainly understood the significance of the Life Gene Level.

Moreover, after fusing with the Primordial Treasure Prototype and breaking through to immortality, the energy efficiency of activating the Sea of Laws in the Universe Origin place will far exceed that of others by a thousand or ten thousand times.

This is of immense advantage to the Immortal Divine Body of Immortal God.

From the perspective of the race, the Chaos City Lord must attach great importance to such potential geniuses.

But the Chaos City Lord sensed that it was more than that. The Transparent Crystal seemed to be connected to another space invisibly. His gaze pierced through it and he immediately saw a void space.

In that Void Space.

A 16-meter-tall Zerg, covered in Streamlined Scales, vibrated its two pairs of Blade Wings at a high frequency, moving like a ghost. Instantly, thousands of Phantom Body appeared around it, and these Phantom Body vaguely formed a strange formation.

Those two pairs of War Blade- like forelimbs were either ferocious and mad, elusive and unpredictable, or strange and unpredictable.

Countless cold, sharp blades flashed in the Void Space.

"He actually turned the Green Line Devouring Worm into a clone!" The Chaos City Lord's pupils shrank. Even with his status and position, he was still shocked by this scene.

He guarded Chaos City for countless years, and almost all the geniuses of the human race had passed through his eyes.

I have never seen any other Cosmic level have such amazing opportunities as this young man!

"The Green Line Devouring Worm is a born Soul-type Master of the soul, and possesses extremely powerful Talent Secret Method. Breaking through to the World Master will be equivalent to a 300-fold Life Gene Level!"

"It is considered powerful even among Special Lifeform."

Among Special Lifeform, there are many with Life Gene Level, but most of them are unique.

Most Special Lifeform are only a few dozen times stronger, so the 300-fold Green Line Devouring Worm is not weak.

"Moreover, his movement and swordsmanship have touched the very essence of the Universe Space. Every change in his form and every application of his swordsmanship goes straight to the core."

"Our human race has produced such a descendant!"

The Chaos City Lord stared at Lin Yan.

It took him a long time to look away.

The vast aura of Universe Law surrounding him gradually subsided.

The man in the fiery red battle robe looked at the Chaos City Lord before him, his heart trembling with shock and utter surprise. His teacher... was actually smiling and seemed very happy?

How could that be?

If he were the Chaos City Lord in Virtual Universe, it wouldn't be so surprising.

But this is the teacher's clone who oversees Chaos City and Master of Slaughter! Even when he sees him on ordinary days, he doesn't dare to show the slightest disrespect.

"Teacher?" he asked softly.

The Chaos City Lord sat down cross-legged again. "I have checked, and there is nothing unusual. The young people in this year's Genius Battle are much more outstanding than those in the previous ones. They should be nurtured well."

"Gui Yi, you may step down."

"Yes, teacher." Venerable Guiyi bowed respectfully.

Wow!

Space transformation!

The figure of Venerable Guiyi vanished from the ruins in an instant and reappeared outside the Chaos Ruins Courtyard.

The scene from just now flashed through his mind, and he looked puzzled, his gaze fixed on the distant Outer Mansion of the city lord, as if he were not in this time and space.

"Teacher... what did he see?"
