Primordial Ancestor's Reflections!
Over the next two years, the Universe's Strongest from all sides of the Three Great Reincarnation Eras led a large number of universe lords, Universe Venerable, and a massive army of Immortal God into the Tomb Ship.
Due to the sheer number of candidates, the selection criteria for the first stage of the Duan Dong He, the "Life and Death Corridor," have been raised accordingly. The elimination rate for the Lord of the Universe and the Universe Venerable is as high as 80%, while the elimination rate for the Immortal God is as high as 99%!
Except for a few with the Clone Talent, being eliminated means certain death.
At the end of the Life and Death Corridor.
Tens of thousands of stone pillars are topped with three-dimensional phantoms, and there are also a huge number of crystal pillars standing upright. Each crystal pillar corresponds to a candidate. The powerful elites of the Three Great Reincarnation Eras and the two great Holy Lands have all gathered here, silently comprehending the Rhino Emperor Game.
The Purple Moon Holy Land is home to 11 Lords of the Universe.
The East Emperor Holy Land is home to 14 Lords of the Universe.
Throughout the First Reincarnation Era, there were as many as 6 Universe's Strongest and 123 lords of the universe.
Throughout the Second Reincarnation Era, there was one Universe's Strongest and 32 lords of the universe.
In the Original Universe Era, there were 20 universe lords.
In total... the number of Lords of the Universe is close to two hundred, the total number of Universe Venerable is close to three thousand, and the number of candidates for Immortal God is too many. Even after screening and eliminating 99%, the number is still close to one hundred thousand!
The First Reincarnation Era, which was facing its end, was the most frenzied, with each force sending out a large number of elites, leaving neither of the two major Holy Land Universes with any advantage.
But...
Because of the covetous eyes of the Great Axe Founder, no one dared to do anything to block them. Compared to having no advantage, if humanity were to have an opportunity to exploit them, that would be a complete loss.
On the contrary, many of the Universe's Strongest joined the ranks of those who were guarding the Primordial Universe Humans to the death after their own powerful forces entered the Tomb Ship, ensuring that they would not be given any chance.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
More than ten cosmic lords, wielding their Supreme Treasure for close combat, roared and attacked a blood-red tower.
The base of the blood-red tower had a crystal pillar embedded in it, and its top supported the top of the corridor. Under the frenzied attacks of the group of cosmic lords, it trembled and roared continuously, causing the entire Life and Death Corridor to shake.
"What's going on? Why are the Lords of the Universe attacking that tower?"
"This tower belongs to the Galaxy City Lord, Primordial Universe Humans! It is said that the Origin Master Primordial Universe Humans was the most terrifying genius in the Cosmic Sea, with a more than 99% chance of ultimately obtaining the Duan Donghe Inheritance!"
"Only through the combined efforts of various forces could the powerful Primordial Universe Humans be prevented from entering the Tomb Ship, and the Origin Master was kept out. Only the Galaxy City Lord, who was the first to enter, was left."
"Unexpectedly... this Lord of the Galaxy City Lord of Origin Master but has always been overlooked, has suddenly become outstanding and is the most likely to receive the inheritance. Therefore, all parties are attacking his Palace Supreme Treasure so that he cannot focus on comprehending them."
Some Immortal God witnessed this scene and secretly communicated with each other.
"Human Galaxy, you will never inherit our legacy!"
"Attack, keep attacking."
"If humanity's Galaxy is allowed to be passed down, then all our efforts will have been in vain."
Powerful figures from various factions occasionally intervened, seemingly making Luo Feng their punching bag.
Their feelings were absolutely incredulous!
They went to great lengths, even having the strongest being in the Cosmic Sea, "True Master Shenyan," personally intervene, to successfully stop the Great Axe Founder, all to prevent the Origin Master. However... even without the Origin Master entering, the Galaxy City Rhino Emperor Game's research speed on the Galaxy City Lord Bureau was still faster than theirs.
This left all the major powers dumbfounded.
Only when I looked back at Luo Feng's information and resume did I realize that he was also a peerless genius who had reached the Tier 4 peak after cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years!
Compared to Lin Yan, who could kill the Universe's Strongest with the same amount of cultivation time, this seems nothing to be afraid of. However, compared to other strong individuals, this growth record is definitely full of gold, and it is simply Dimensional Strike!
No matter how much the outside world attacked, Luo Feng remained unmoved.
This attack was nothing more than a tickle to the Ultimate Supreme Treasure, the Star Tower. Even the tremors were deliberately faked by Luo Feng, who was completely absorbed in his research on the Rhino Emperor Game without any distraction.
In the blink of an eye, he had been studying the Rhino Emperor Game for over 500 years.
"Ding! Dong!"
A voice seemed to resonate in the hearts of every powerful individual.
All the candidates present looked astonished and turned to the center, where a figure formed from light in mid-air—it was the blue-haired man Duan Dong He.
Looking down, Duan Dong He said, "The candidate... the human Galaxy has met the requirements for solving the problem."
Wow!
Below, nearly 100,000 powerful warriors from various races were all in an uproar.
Everyone looked at the blood-red tower, their hearts trembling with shock. Luo Feng had actually met the requirements for breaking the deadlock so quickly?
"Rise!" Duan Dong He Donghe pointed from afar.
Suddenly, the crystal pillar next to Luo Feng emitted a hazy hemispherical light and shadow, like a huge hazy palace, which directly enveloped Luo Feng. The entire palace of light and shadow was golden, with countless secret patterns flowing on it, and the power it faintly emitted made all the powerful people present tremble.
"Galaxy, this is my secret protective technique. From now on, you can focus on comprehending it without fear of harming anyone." Duan Dong He coldly surveyed all sides and said, "Anyone who dares to attack again will be eliminated immediately!"
These words were spoken.
The powerful figures from various races gathered in the Life and Death Corridor were all shocked. They gritted their teeth but were helpless. Even Duan Dong He had made it so clear that they were definitely not people they could provoke.
Whoosh!
The blood-red tower disappeared, and Luo Feng, dressed in silver armor, bowed slightly. "Thank you, Lord Duan Dong He."
"Hmm." Duan Dong He nodded slightly. "Although you have met the requirements, you still have a long time to comprehend the Rhino Emperor Game... Keep up the good work. The more formations you solve, the greater the benefits will be, and the greater the benefits will be when you inherit the legacy."
Seeing the astonishment and confusion of the various factions, Duan Dong He explained:
"Even candidates can be divided into four levels... peripheral candidates, Elite Candidate, core candidates, and successors!"
"Like the human Galaxy, it has only reached the first bottleneck, which is considered to have met my bottom line requirements. It is still just an outer candidate, qualified to advance to the next hall and come into contact with a Duan Dong He lineage."
"Reaching the second bottleneck means you can be considered an elite."
"Reaching the third bottleneck is the core."
"Reaching the fourth bottleneck... that's directly becoming an inheritor, without the need for competition or selection, directly receiving my Duan Donghe Inheritance." Duan Dong He looked at the seven Universe's Strongest, "For example, the seven of you, each of you has already nurtured Small Universe, making you stronger, and naturally, your bottlenecks are higher. For you... as long as you can solve the 6000th puzzle, you can directly obtain the inheritance."
"Of course, if none of you can break through the fourth bottleneck to become an inheritor, or directly solve 6,000 endgame puzzles, the more puzzles you solve, the higher the level you reach, and the more you will be able to access the inheritance later. With each level you break through, the chance of obtaining the inheritance will be ten or a hundred times higher!"
A moment of silence.
All the powerful figures present understood.
"6000 games? That's incredibly difficult and unbelievable. I've only just grasped the 1005th game, and that's the highest level among my Divine Eye Clan." The Second True Master sighed inwardly. "Seventh Brother is stuck at the bottleneck of the 1000th game. Every 1000 games is a leap in the depth of understanding. It's too difficult, too difficult."
"However, according to Duan Dong He, the stronger one is, the higher the bottleneck becomes. Luo Feng has reached the first bottleneck, but I haven't. I guess it's because the requirements for the Lord of the Universe Universe's Strongest are different."
Luo Feng suppressed his excitement and calmly pondered, "I am Universe Venerable, and my first bottleneck is the 1000th round. I wonder what the requirements are for the later bottlenecks..."
Amidst the resentful, venomous, and murderous gazes of many powerful figures, Luo Feng sat cross-legged and continued to silently comprehend the mysteries.
His time is precious, and he has no time to waste on them.
After learning that Lin Yan was blocked outside the Tomb Ship, Luo Feng knew that the hope of the human race rested entirely on his shoulders.
Whether for the sake of humanity's eternal existence, for a brighter future, or for his own responsibilities, he must do everything in his power to comprehend the Rhino Emperor Game as quickly as possible and obtain this inheritance.
In the past, there might have always been someone who could shelter him from the wind and rain, but at this moment, this is an opportunity he must seize, and he must be absolutely courageous and fearless, without backing down.
Luo Feng is determined to have this inheritance!
He crossed this mountain and let the world hear his story.
In the vast Cosmic Sea, all the top experts are well aware of the importance of the powerful inheritance of the ancient Ancient Civilization. At this moment, the Tomb Ship's Life and Death Corridor is the most important silent battlefield in the entire Cosmic Sea.
They silently hoped that their strongest members could reach the first bottleneck more quickly, so as to obtain the opportunity to inherit the legacy.
Virtual Universe, independent Plane Space.
"This 2000th game was really tough."
Luo Feng stood in front of the three-dimensional phantom of the 2000th puzzle and studied it carefully. As each puzzle was solved, the time Luo Feng spent solving it increased. Logically speaking, to successfully solve the 2000th puzzle, it should take ten times or even longer than the previous 1000 puzzles.
Fortunately, since he started studying the Ninth Abyss Secret Pattern Diagram and the Rhino Emperor Game and comparing them with each other, his comprehension speed has increased significantly.
"This 2000th game should be the second bottleneck," Luo Feng thought to himself.
While Luo Feng was observing the three-dimensional phantom of the 2000th game's endgame, a man in white robes was standing in the distance watching, but Luo Feng did not notice his presence.
"Luo Feng, it seems you're close to solving the 2000th game." Primordial Ancestor nodded slightly and praised softly, "With his comprehension and foundation, creating the Integrated Strongest Secret Technique shouldn't be difficult for him. For a mere Universe Venerable to achieve this level is truly impressive."
"If I were merely Universe Venerable, I would probably be no match for Luo Feng."
For the past three thousand years, the Primordial Ancestor, as the creator of the Virtual Universe, has been able to make the Time Flow Rate ten thousand times faster within a very small range. He has studied the Rhinoceros Rhino Emperor Game a full thirty million years and has been able to see many of its ingenious aspects.
It requires extremely high comprehension! It requires extremely high deduction skills! In short, the deeper one can study the Rhino Emperor Game, the easier it will be to comprehend and study the laws, Creation Secret Technique, and so on.
The four levels of Immortal, Venerable, Lord of the Universe, and Universe's Strongest have completely different foundations and fundamentally different speeds of comprehension.
The bottleneck of the Immortal God - the 500th game!
The bottleneck of the Universe Venerable - the 1000th round!
The bottleneck of the Lord of the Universe - the 1500th round!
The bottleneck of the Universe's Strongest - the 2000th game!
To become the Universe's Strongest, each one possesses extremely high aptitude and comprehension. Given enough time, they can all solve the 2000th puzzle. However, the second bottleneck requires ten or even dozens of times more time. Once they reach their limit, unless their foundation and comprehension undergo fundamental changes, they will not be able to solve the puzzle no matter how much time they spend.
"Luo Feng was able to break through the first bottleneck with ease, and is now close to the second bottleneck. It is clear that becoming the Universe's Strongest is not difficult for him. If he obtains the Duan Donghe Inheritance, the possibility of Transcend Reincarnation in the future is extremely high." The Primordial Ancestor sighed inwardly, "It's just... Lin Yan, what a pity."
His heart stirred.
Whoosh!
The figure of the Primordial Ancestor appeared in another independent Plane Space, which was the Plane Space where Lin Yan comprehended the Rhino Emperor Game. However, there were two other figures present, namely the Great Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord.
They watched from afar as Lin Yan studied the Rhino Emperor Game, their expressions filled with sighs and resentment, and they were secretly discussing among themselves.
"I asked the Primordial Ancestor ..." the Great Axe Founder said, "He told me that the second bottleneck for Universe Venerable is the 2000th round, the third bottleneck should be the 3000th round, and the fourth bottleneck is the 4000th round... In other words, if one can solve the 4000th round, one can directly obtain the Duan Donghe Inheritance."
"Three thousand years, just three thousand years. The Tomb Ship has gathered many elites from the Cosmic Sea. To date, there are less than 70 strong people who have broken through the first bottleneck. The one who is closest to the second bottleneck... should be Luo Feng, who is about to solve the 2000th problem."
"But who would have thought that Lin Yan had already broken through the third bottleneck and was now working on solving the 3129th game?"
Shocking!
An absolutely stunning experience!
Their hearts were filled with complex emotions. Lin Yan was able to create Tier 6 peak secret technique at the level of Universe Venerable, and his research speed on the Rhino Emperor Game had always been unparalleled. However, seeing the three-dimensional phantom of the 3129th Bureau still made them feel somewhat dazed.
It felt like a dream.
It should be noted that Luo Feng is already very strong. Even the Great Axe Founder has not yet reached 1900 games. Luo Feng is only Universe Venerable, but he has already reached 2000 games.
But Lin Yan, who is also Universe Venerable, has to go even further!
"How hateful!" The voice of the Great Axe Founder contained a hint of killing intent. "If it weren't for those two major Holy Land Universes and the Divine Eye Clan, the Duan Donghe Inheritance would have been ours without any surprises!"
"With Lin Yan's talent, once he obtains this terrifying inheritance, Transcend Reincarnation will be absolutely no difficulty for him. He might even surpass the super strong person who left behind this precious inheritance— Duan Dong He Wu!"
"How hateful, how utterly hateful!"
The more Great Axe Founder Lin Yan was, the angrier and more resentful the various races of the Cosmic Sea became at trying their best to block him!
Although Luo Feng is also reliable, as more and more candidates meet the requirements, Luo Feng's advantage will become smaller and smaller. Perhaps one of the candidates will perform better in the later stages and win the Duan Donghe Inheritance!
Everyone knows...
This inheritance is a silent war! This war will determine who can Transcend Reincarnation and which side the Third Holy Land Universe belongs to!
"Giant Axe, relax." The Chaos City Lord looked at the Great Axe Founder. The friendship of countless years made him understand the Great Axe Founder very well. He knew that the Giant Axe Founder was more upset about his own lack of strength and failure to send Lin Yan into the Tomb Ship.
If he had the strength of the Primordial Ancestor, who would dare to stop him?
Anyone who dares to stop him will die!
After all, the Great Axe Founder was proud that such a powerful genius could emerge from his own race. Although Lin Yan's cultivation was extremely short, his contributions to the human race were immense... As a result, because he made a mistake, Lin Yan did not have the opportunity to compete for this terrifying inheritance, which made him feel somewhat guilty.
"My junior brother has always had his own ideas." The Chaos City Lord looked at Lin Yan from afar. "Although he failed to enter the Tomb Ship, he has been quietly studying the Rhino Emperor Game all these years without showing any regret or resentment, which shows how firm his heart is."
"But didn't Junior Brother Lin Yan say that he also discovered an ancient inheritance in the Core Land of the Qingfeng Realm? He is so outstanding, I believe he will definitely succeed."
While they were whispering amongst themselves, they did not notice the white-robed man standing not far away.
"If I hadn't made this mistake, I wouldn't have been left helplessly watching from the sidelines." The white-robed Primordial Ancestor shook his head gently and sighed.
If he hadn't been Permanently Suppressed by the Primordial Universe, Lin Yan's path might have been smoother.
"Throughout history, countless powerful figures have emerged, but when has anyone ever been as incredibly strong as Lin Yan? Even I am far inferior."
The Primordial Ancestor secret passage.
This time, Lin Yan was already very fast at solving the Rhino Emperor Game. Over the years, he had watched Lin Yan's puzzle-solving speed become faster and faster, and his comprehension continued to improve. He broke through the puzzle one after another like a phoenix rising from the ashes. The strength of his comprehension made even the Primordial Ancestor sigh with emotion.
"The Rhino Emperor?"
"What kind of being could create such an incredible thing?" the Primordial Ancestor sighed. "Perhaps even though Lin Yan had done extremely well before, his potential was still not truly revealed."
"It's like a piece of unpolished jade that hasn't truly shone."
"This Rhino Emperor Game might be the key to unlocking his potential."
Lin Yan was unaware of all this at the moment.
He was completely immersed in studying the Rhino Emperor Game, and the feeling of instantly analyzing and comprehending from billions of angles fascinated him.
Suddenly--
He frowned slightly and opened his eyes.
Lin Yan sensed it...
Three thousand years later, his soul connection with the original body was re-established.
