Deep within the Human territory, in the heart of the Original Secret Realm.

The vast river of stars surged ceaselessly, with all sorts of strange artifacts floating in it, each radiating a terrifying pressure.

"Rumble..." The endless starry river disappeared into thin air, transforming into a garment that covered a towering figure, the "Chaos City Lord," who was tens of thousands of kilometers tall. The Chaos City Lord was wearing the Thousand Treasures Robe, holding Worn Stone Staff, and standing barefoot in mid-air.

A pair of eyes, like those of a lake, gaze into the void.

His voice was booming. "Junior brother, I have to go out for a while, but I will be back soon. You should temporarily stop studying your unique skills and help me guard this Original Secret Realm."

"Yes, Senior Brother." A voice rang out directly around the Chaos City Lord.

The Chaos City Lord nodded.

He immediately took a step in the void... and disappeared.

"Where is Thousand Treasures River?"

"Thousand Treasures River has disappeared."

"The teacher must have gone out." Some of the Universe Venerable and their servants in the palaces within the Thousand Treasures River Realm discovered that the vast Thousand Treasures River had disappeared.

Suddenly--

A silver-haired man carrying a sword appeared outside the palace. His temples were gray, and he wore ancient armor stained with blood. The moment he appeared, a chilling aura spread out.

He gazed into the void where the Chaos City Lord had just stood.

"What happened that made my senior brother rush over there?"

Chaos City, a certain Cultivation Residence.

The Inner World of the Origin Core.

Lin Yan stood on the endless Central Continent, Xue Qiao Clone's head, as large as a mountain peak, bowed down, looking at the verdant ancient tree leaf held in Lin Yan's hands.

"Now that I have absorbed the Nutrient Fluid and raised myself to the World Lord peak, I can try to nurture Third Clone."

"But there's still one problem," Lin Yan said softly. "There's a limit to how long my clones can develop. The specific development time and the upper limit of the clones' Life Gene Level are affected by many factors."

For example, at the same Life Gene Level, the requirements for a divine body with a large divine body are higher than those for a small divine body. The requirements for a clone with Talent Secret Method are higher than those with ordinary Talent Secret Method. In short, the more extraordinary the choice of a clone, the more difficult it is to nurture it into a clone.

Generally speaking, it is dozens or even hundreds of times the Life Level.

Certainly!

The more unique Special Lifeform is in the universe, the more extraordinary and unique it is. The Ancestor Tree is 9,600 times larger, and its divine body is even more majestic, so it is impossible for it to reach an ideal state.

Fortunately, the information Lin Yan received indicated that his ability to create clones was related to the Origin Core itself. When his own Life Gene Level was improved, it would also affect the Origin Core's fertilization limit.

"However... the absolute minimum is ten times my own Life Gene Level. Within that range, success is guaranteed."

"My Life Gene Level is influenced by both 'Light Web Crystal' and 'Golden Framework', and at this stage it has reached 220 times, which is a huge difference. Whether it is a success or a failure is still unknown."

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

The Xue Qiao Clone was conceived during the 170 years in Chaos City, which is not a long time. The improvement of Life Gene Level becomes more and more demanding as you go on. It is already very difficult for the main body to reach 220 times.

"Give it a try." Lin Yan flicked his wrist, splitting off a small portion from the leaves of the Ancestor Tree. The beautiful, jade-like fragmented leaf flew directly into the sky.

The Golden Framework does not restrict the types of life. Regardless of their form, whether Flesh-type, Plant-type, or even Energy-type Lifeform will undergo a fundamental structural change during cultivation, transforming into an immortal being like an ancient god.

Once successful, with the "Ancestor Tree" having Life Gene Level as high as 9600 times, reaching the perfect limit of 10081 times would be extremely simple. It would only require one cultivation session to potentially achieve Perfect Gene!

Lin Yan knew that once he reached the perfect limit, he would receive the blessing of the Primordial Universe and be endowed with the Strongest Talent Secret Method, which was of profound significance.

This is also a major reason why he was willing to choose the "Ancestor Tree".

After all, Lin Yan couldn't be sure whether he could reach 10081 times the power of the "Golden Framework" before becoming Universe Venerable, which was fundamentally different from the "Nine Tribulations Scripture".

With the option of the Ancestor Tree, the "World Tree" seems somewhat redundant.

The World Tree itself is Special Lifeform of the highest level in the universe. It appeared when the universe was born and is unique. It is said that its Life Gene are thousands of times higher. However, this Strongest World Tree is now equivalent to top-tier Universe Overlord. Its Body Material are useless to Lin Yan.

The reason why this Strongest World Tree has eight World Tree under its command—three Immortal level and five World Lord level —is actually due to a special relationship: a father-son relationship.

As a tree, it can make saplings grow around it, all according to its own will.

It should be known that it only needs to split off a small branch to transform into a powerful Life Tree. As the Strongest World Tree filled with endless life, its Life Origin is extremely powerful.

Thus, eight saplings were born around him, and he even passed on part of his Life Origin to the eight saplings.

Therefore, the World Tree at the World Lord level Life Gene Level is two levels lower than the Strongest World Tree, only about 1,000 times lower, which limits its appeal.

Apart from that, the only other option is the "Nine Nether Blood Sea".

The Nine Nether Blood Sea is extremely special. Although it is Flesh-type life form, its divine body is larger than that of the Ancestor Tree and the World Tree, and it also possesses the innate Talent Secret Method of "creation" to assist in the Divine Power route power.

Lin Yan used the Xue Qiao Clone to cultivate the "Golden Framework" without feeling anything was wrong; this "creation" talent might not be that useful.

Moreover, it cannot be ignored that... the Life Gene Level of the Nine Nether Blood Sea is only 300 times, making it extremely difficult to improve to the perfect limit.

If it is truly impossible to achieve this in the future, lacking both the Strongest Talent Secret Method and the quality of divine power after a breakthrough, it would instead be suspected of being a mere imitation.

Call out!

The green streak flew straight into the sky, flying continuously, just like the Aurora between heaven and earth, dazzling and brilliant.

It should be noted that his entire Inner World has a diameter of trillions of kilometers, and this incomplete Ancestor Tree leaf flew all the way to the very core of his Inner World before finally stopping and hovering there.

"Talent Secret Method - Clone!" Lin Yan's mind stirred.

He has three opportunities to create clones: once to create Green Line Devouring Worm, once to create Blood Hound, and this is naturally the last one!

"Boom..."

The entire Inner World began to tremble and shake. Endless Universe Origin Energy surged wildly from the "Two Realms Abyss," and for a moment, the entire Inner World seemed to be plunged into the apocalypse. At the same time, countless massive cubes forged from crystals began to appear in mid-air within the Inner World.

"Now!"

A hint of solemnity appeared in Lin Yan's eyes, Xue Qiao Clone also looked up at the sky, anticipating this fate-determining moment!

At the core of the cube.

A five-colored interwoven secret pattern slowly emerged, but before it could be fully drawn, the huge crystal cube trembled violently.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

The crystal vibrated incessantly, roaring repeatedly, as if a series of explosions were occurring inside!

At the same time, Lin Yan's consciousness strongly felt the immense pressure brought by the Life Imprint of the Ancestor Tree within the massive cube. That pressure even caused his Origin Core to tremble slightly.

"Snap!"

Suddenly, a crack appeared on the huge cube, and gradually, more and more cracks appeared.

"Boom!" The final massive shock caused the entire crystal cube to shatter, turning into endless World Power flying wildly, while the broken leaves of the Ancestor Tree were completely reduced to nothingness in the process.

"It failed."

Lin Yan watched this scene silently. He was mentally prepared and didn't seem too disappointed.

His fists clenched involuntarily, and his gaze sharpened. "960 times! Given the condition of the Ancestor Tree, my true form must reach 960 times the normal level for it to have any chance of conceiving!"

This was an intuition he had vaguely received during the process.

The Ancestor Tree is so extraordinary that it could reach the most extreme state. It can be said that nurturing it into an avatar is itself a violation of the Universe Law. It is only because it has the Golden Framework that such an opportunity exists.

"960 times, that's not too difficult." Lin Yan thought to himself, "Putting aside everything else, just the fact that a top-tier Origin Supreme Treasure has truly taken shape will greatly enhance the Life Gene Level!"

Just like how the core material of the high-level Origin Supreme Treasure, "Heart of Space," transferred its essence to Luo Feng's Moshazhu Race clone, enabling it to reach a hundred times the Life Gene Level, this was still due to the influence of the "hundred times limit" of the Universe Rule.

His situation is only going to be more alarming.

"Moreover, once I enter the Outer Domain Battlefield, those Myriad Races in the universe can actually be considered as a resource for me to improve the Golden Framework."

Lin Yan's gaze calmed down. "Let's wait a little longer."

Meanwhile, within the Solar System.

A river's shadow falls over the boundless starry sky, appearing faint and indistinct.

The numerous probes deployed in the Solar System and on Earth are functioning normally, but they are completely unable to detect this sudden and powerful presence.

Wow!

A towering figure, tens of thousands of kilometers high, with silvery-white skin, treads on the waves of the Thousand Treasures River, walking barefoot through the water. He holds a mottled, scarred stone staff that seems to have been through many hardships, while he wears seemingly ordinary clothes.

The garment seemed to contain thousands of objects emitting sounds that penetrated the soul, and each thread of the garment resembled a rushing river.

The Chaos City Lord gazed at the azure planet hovering in mid-air and muttered to himself, "This... is the Earth from which Lin Yan and Luo Feng were born?"

In the eyes of the Chaos City Lord, Lin Yan represents something extraordinary. With the talent of "cloning" and the Supreme Treasure Nucleus, it is almost impossible for him to perish. In addition, his inconceivable talent and comprehension make him at the very least top-tier Universe Overlord!

Moreover, his Main Combat Clone is the Green Line Devouring Worm! Its ability to create countless clones gives it an absolute strategic advantage over Ancestor Tree, Sky Eclipse, and others!

The clone equipment Supreme Treasure; under the complete control of its "self-awareness," it becomes top-tier Universe Overlord with the power to suppress certain important locations!

Even without being equipped with Supreme Treasure, the Green Line Devouring Worm is far superior to the top-tier Universe Overlord of the Zerg, but inferior to the Zerg universe lord. However, without regard to the consumption of divine power, even the universe lord can only avoid its sharp edge.

What if we break through to become the Lord of the Universe?

Even the Chaos City Lord felt a chill run down his spine!

But now we know that this talent may be related to Lin Yan's home planet, which is of great significance to the human race for the Chaos City Lord.

"Lin Yan's success is not only due to his talent, but also to his amazing and rare opportunities."

"Even though Luo Feng benefited from the World Lord level Golden Horn Beast, his comprehension is also excellent. I don't expect another Lin Yan to appear. Even if a Luo Feng appears once every ten thousand epochs, he will still be extraordinary!" The Chaos City Lord thought to himself.

He tended to believe that Earth had something special about it, but it shouldn't be able to produce a large number of talents like Lin Yan and Luo Feng. If that were the case, Earth should have been discovered by the human race long ago, and the Ganwu Universe Country wouldn't be in such a mess now.

The Chaos City Lord gazed at Earth from afar. He controlled this space-time and could easily investigate everything.

He learned of the situation the Shadow Lord had described earlier in a more detailed and specific way, including the dozens of World Lord's World, which were also completely clear to him.

"Using Zerg Warrior to train the younger generation of the race? It must be an enslavement of a World Lord level Zerg Mother Nest."

"The planet itself has been modified and is quite ingenious, but it did come at a cost, but..." The Chaos City Lord frowned, "This Earth doesn't seem to have anything special about it."

He controls a space-time region, so logically he should be able to detect any anomalies.

However, in the perception of the Chaos City Lord, apart from the subsequent modifications, Earth was no different from other Life Planet.

He pondered, "Could it be... that Lin Yan and Luo Feng's appearance was just a coincidence?"

Hong and Thunder God are relatively easy to deal with, after all, they received a large share of the profits from the Jiuzhou Company and each had millions of Hun Yuan Unit. It was only at such a cost that they were able to stay in the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm, and they were not worth the Chaos City Lord's attention.

But Lin Yan and Luo Feng are different.

After much deliberation, the Chaos City Lord still felt that the possibility of it being merely a coincidence was rather low, and there might be other aspects that he had not yet discovered.

His gaze narrowed slightly.

"Rise!"

Looking at the vast void around him, the Chaos City Lord immediately had a thought, which caused time in this void to rapidly reverse—scenes flashed back in time.

Lin Yan's figure quickly appeared on the screen.

"Hmm?" The Chaos City Lord slowed down the speed at which he manipulated Time Reversal.

"It turns out that during this period, Lin Yan's true body was always on Earth. He has Xue Qiao Clone, which can indeed do this."

If the Blood Hound's Talent Secret Method is a complete transformation, it can achieve the conversion between matter and matter, and even the Lord of the Universe would find it difficult to detect its flaws.

However, it does not pose a significant threat to human populations.

The existence of a human "Virtual Universe" is another guarantee for verifying identity. Even if there are no flaws, you cannot log in if you do not know the Virtual Universe account. Compared to searching memories, Soul Enslavement is much simpler.

But soon, the Chaos City Lord's expression began to change.

In the scene, the lush bamboo forest rustles in the breeze. On the Bluestone Path through the bamboo grove, Lin Yan and Luo Feng walk backwards, holding oil-paper umbrellas. A light drizzle is constantly rising into the air, and they speak in reverse order. For example, "Luo Feng" becomes "Feng Luo" when played backwards...

The scene at this moment is Luo Feng saying, "When I came back this time, I saw a lot of things, and I also saw the huge changes on Earth over the years. Your initial point about the 'special nature of Earth' has been further corroborated."

What makes Earth special?

From their conversation, the Chaos City Lord could roughly guess the specific situation.

"It seems that their understanding of Earth's special characteristics is based solely on conjecture. That makes sense. Even I haven't made any special discoveries, so what could they possibly see?" The Chaos City Lord thought to himself. "I'm afraid they made these conjectures simply because of their own extraordinary talent, which is why they have their current response."

Considering Lin Yan's words about "Mental Elevation and immense potential," the Chaos City Lord did indeed feel that the will of these Earthling seemed quite good, but the special nature of their souls was somewhat beyond his comprehension.

"Perhaps we need to have Giant Axe come in person; he should be able to understand things in more detail than I do."

The master of the universe can control a region of time and space.

However, those who reach the ranks of "the Universe's Strongest" are all incredibly powerful, their Word is Law the weight of law, they can easily change the laws of nature, and they completely control certain areas. Within a certain range around them, it is not the Universe Origin Law that govern, but rather they themselves who are in charge!

In other words, within a certain scope, whatever they say the law is, that's what the law is.

If you say fire can freeze people to death, then it can freeze people to death.

If it is said that stars should disappear and planets should radiate endless light, then it will happen.

If the ultimate speed is no longer the speed of light, but ten times the speed of light, then it is possible to reach ten times the speed of light within this region.

Of course, this is just a privilege granted by the Primordial Universe, and it is a completely different concept from truly defying the Laws of Cosmic Operation.

The reason why the human race is a "peak race" is because it had "Primordial Ancestor" in the past and "Great Axe Founder" later, both of whom were among the Universe's Strongest.

Time rewinds rapidly.

Everything seemed like an illusion.

The Chaos City Lord also witnessed Lin Yan's various training programs for Earth Humanity during his time on Earth. Under his careful observation, he could indeed feel that the will of these Earth Humanity was very firm.

Whoosh!

The reversing time suddenly stopped, and the surrounding spacetime, which had been constantly reversing and changing, also abruptly stopped.

In this frozen space-time... Lin Yan seems to be talking to his wife.

"Due to some special circumstances, my bloodline has changed. It can be said that it is one of the most advanced in the human race, which is why it is difficult for me to reproduce."

"..."

"We will be the ancestors of the Strongest Bloodline in the Cosmic Humans!"

"How could this be?" Far away in this reversed space-time, the Chaos City Lord stared in shock at the frozen scene, Lin Yan's words echoing in his mind.

The Strongest Bloodline in the Cosmic Humans?

He was utterly shocked. "The human race has actually produced the Strongest Bloodline capable of reproduction?"

"Among the Twelve Peak Bloodlines in the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, which lineage doesn't have a Universe Lord? Among them, there are even three Qiuhe Beasts and two Golden Horn Beasts. Relying on such a small number, they have become one of the super alliances in the universe!"

"This demonstrates the potential of such a powerful bloodline!"

The entire human race has only 18 cosmic masters.

"Other Strongest Bloodline in the universe, as long as they still exist, are powerful groups that occupy important positions among the many super powers in the universe. Now... our human race actually has Strongest Bloodline?"

His heart trembled.

Bloodline evolution reaches its limit at the Domain Lord level upon reaching adulthood, and it is impossible to improve it by any means, because the Strongest Bloodline in the universe that can reproduce is almost only one possibility!

That is what the Primordial Universe created and bestowed!

The Chaos City Lord could hardly believe it, but considering the impression Lin Yan had always given him, as well as the talents of his sons, Lin Xiao and Lin Du, it seemed to prove everything.

"Could it be true?"

He gazed at the translucent stone pot in Lin Yan's hand, which was frozen in time and space. "That's Spirit Marrow... Does Mu Xing already know about this?"

Time and spacetime continued to flow rapidly backward.

The Chaos City Lord was trying to find more information.

He saw that Lin Yan could move freely in Planetary level at the planetary level, and obtained the prototype of "Light Web Crystal" from it, during which he gained the "clone" talent.

He witnessed the Golden Horn Beast's attack, nearly destroying Earth. At the critical moment Lin Yan, who Planetary level, defeated the Golden Horn Beast, which was at the Stellar level one, and handed it over to Luo Feng to Soul Seizure, in exchange for the Yun Mo Star Inheritance.

This is undoubtedly very powerful evidence.

He saw it—

Boom!

The entire Earth froze instantly.

The pedestrians on the street were frozen in place, the monster's head in the Wilderness Area remained raised to the sky and roared, the weeds blown by the wind were completely still, and the rolling waves in the distant sea had stopped, with the scattered water droplets suspended in mid-air.

The Earth's rotation, even the sun's movement, and the existence of light and force, have all come to a standstill.

"Buzz!"

A faint light filled the Earth, and a huge vortex was spinning in the sky above the Earth. A faint pillar of light enveloped Lin Yan.

At this moment, even Lin Yan, like All Things else, stood motionless in the Wilderness Area with his eyes closed.

Moment!

The surrounding spacetime that had been reversed to this moment quickly began to return to normal, and everything returned to reality!

"Hmm?" A hint of confusion appeared in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord, followed by shock.

"The control over a certain space-time was interrupted."

"That... that scene just now was... the descent of the Primal Universe Will!"

The Chaos City Lord was utterly shocked. What kind of power did he possess? In that instant, his control over this space-time was completely severed.

Although he can control a spacetime, this so-called spacetime is... the universe itself! If the universe wants to punish a cosmic ruler, it can completely strip him of his control over spacetime!

"My divine body has been depleted to 99.7%..."

The Thousand Treasures River is a top-tier Domain-type Set Supreme Treasure, and the Thousand Treasures Robe it transforms into is comparable to the pinnacle of Defense Armor. The divine body of this avatar of the Chaos City Lord is tens of thousands of kilometers tall, remaining in the Primordial Universe to guard the Original Secret Realm.

For someone with his peak divine body as the Lord of the Universe, this kind of consumption is already astonishing, and it would take a lot of time or precious treasures to recover.

But the Chaos City Lord didn't care at all.

"Ha ha..."

The Chaos City Lord burst into laughter, his laughter mingling with the Thousand Treasures River, causing it to tremble.

"Lin Yan!"

"Lin Yan!"

"You really kept that a secret!"

Regarding Luo Feng's return to Earth and his explanation of the "Nine Tribulations Scripture," I forgot to include it when writing it; it has now been revised to use telepathic transmission.
