At first, Jin Yu chose a Space Secret Technique to study, leaving the Gan Wu Country Lord somewhat helpless. After all, most geniuses could not resist such temptation.

The allure of secret techniques was even greater than the thrill an ordinary virgin would feel being surrounded by a group of sexy, alluring, scantily clad beauties.

Then Jin Yu in the footage paused his comprehension of the secret technique, looking around in confusion as though searching for something.

In the end, his gaze settled entirely on the stone tablet.

"Such powerful perception. What a lucky little fellow." Seeing Jin Yu's gaze finally focus on the three large characters, the Gan Wu Country Lord smiled in satisfaction. What was there to study about secret techniques? The most important opportunity lay on the stone tablet.

Over countless eras, he had encountered only three geniuses with such sharp talent for sensing the Law of Space. Jin Yu was one of them.

In fact, most of the time, he did not pay attention to matters concerning the Gan Wu Tower at all.

If not for being hounded by an old friend for a debt and having some free time now, along with the Intelligent Life's reminder, the Gan Wu Country Lord might have completely missed someone like Jin Yu.

Originally, the Gan Wu Country Lord had only been mildly interested, treating it as a brief respite amid his busy schedule.

However, when he saw Jin Yu unleash over a thousand afterimages on the second floor, he could no longer remain calm.

With his discernment and realm, he could naturally tell at a glance that Jin Yu's mastery of the Law of Space was at most just below the Hundred-Line Flow. Yet his ability to unleash over a thousand afterimages in an instant clearly showed Jin Yu's immense affinity with the Law of Space.

"What kind of monstrous talent is this? Genetic mutation? Possession? Or some heaven-defying opportunity?"

The Gan Wu Country Lord knew very well that no matter how monstrous a member of the Human Race was, their innate affinity for laws could not compare to certain lifeforms with peak bloodlines. For example, the Demon Killer Clan were born darlings of space. Their Law Comprehension might be low, yet they could display power far beyond their comprehension of laws.

As ordinary lifeforms, the Human Race simply could not compare to these darlings of the Original Universe. Humanity's strengths lay in their comprehension, willpower, enormous population, and reproductive ability.

"I wonder how much this little fellow will gain from it." The Gan Wu Country Lord thought as he watched the footage.

Over the endless eras before this, two lucky little fellows had also realized the wondrous use of the stone tablet, comprehended deeper Laws of Space, and seen the path toward analyzing the essence of laws.

However, one of them had fallen on that path, while the other had remained stuck at Peak Marquis for countless eras without making any further progress. He was now one of the Gan Wu Country Lord's eighteen divine generals, named Thirteen.

As Jin Yu cleared floor after floor and continued his comprehension, the Gan Wu Country Lord grew increasingly excited!

"Good. His application of the Law of Space has become more direct and clear. He has taken the right path."

"His burst on the third floor is even more stable. His comprehension of laws has completely reached the Hundred-Line Flow. Not bad."

"Very good."

"This self-created saber technique is somewhat crude. Though its power is decent, he is being too hasty. He can refine it after reaching the World Master level."

With every floor Jin Yu cleared, the Gan Wu Country Lord gave a brief evaluation.

Yet as time slowly passed, after clearing each floor, Jin Yu's strength steadily improved following ten days of comprehension.

Whether it was his movement technique, saber technique, or application of the Law of Space, all showed obvious improvement and refinement.

"Monster!" Even by the standards and judgment of the Gan Wu Country Lord, a Universe Venerable, he had no choice but to praise him as a monster.

Even in his own youth, he could not have done better than Jin Yu.

"The latest Genius Battle happens to be under Thirteen's charge. Have him bring this little fellow here." The Gan Wu Country Lord's grand, dignified voice reverberated endlessly through the hall.

"Yes, Master," the Intelligent Life replied respectfully.

"I wonder what material that stone tablet is made from, to actually be able to bear the essence of the Law of Space."

I really want to take the whole thing.

Jin Yu struggled intensely, wanting to claim the stone tablet for himself.

However, reason told him he could not do that. Doing such a thing in the Gan Wu Tower, the core site on the core planet of the Gan Wu Universe Country, would likely mean he would not survive the next second.

"Ah, I really am passing by a great opportunity." Jin Yu gave the stone tablet one last reluctant look. Then, gritting his teeth, he stepped through the teleportation gate.

Space shifted. In a daze, Jin Yu discovered that he had arrived in a great hall. By rough estimate alone, it was at least a million meters in length and width.

The surroundings were extraordinarily empty, containing only several enormous seats and a massive throne at the deepest end of the hall.

"Country Lord, Jin Yu has been brought here."

Jin Yu followed the voice and saw a giant clad in a scale-armored battle robe and helmet, kneeling on one knee and prostrating himself toward the throne.

The aura naturally radiating from him was like the descent of a death god. That heavy, bloody scent made one tremble with fear involuntarily!

Jin Yu's body began to shake faintly on its own.

Even while prostrating himself, the other party was taller than Jin Yu. Once he stood up, he was likely over eight meters tall!

"Jin Yu, you have come." On the massive throne, the Gan Wu Country Lord rose to his feet. His deep voice, powerful enough to make heaven and earth tremble, echoed through the hall.

Yet in Jin Yu's eyes, he saw a giant standing in the void, the surrounding Universe Space faintly twisting and trembling without end.

His own mighty power was affecting Universe Space itself, so overwhelming that Jin Yu could not summon even the slightest thought of resistance.

What is going on? I followed the rules to clear the floors, so why am I here? Where am I? What am I doing?

Jin Yu was on the verge of collapse. He had not even done anything, so how had he provoked such a terrifying expert?

Then, perhaps because the other party withdrew his pressure, Jin Yu felt his body lighten, and control over himself returned to his hands.

That feeling of his life being beyond his control made him yearn even more desperately to become stronger.

One day, I will reach your height! And that will be far from my endpoint. Jin Yu forcibly suppressed the instinctive fear of life itself and looked resolutely toward the giant.

Meanwhile, with a wave of the Gan Wu Country Lord's hand, Thirteen had already silently departed. Before leaving, he gave Jin Yu a faintly amused glance.

"Little fellow, we will meet again."

At this moment, the Gan Wu Country Lord had restrained his aura, and the naturally formed ripples in space around him had also calmed.

Even so, his enormous body, dozens of meters tall, still naturally carried endless pressure.

With the pressure on his spirit and life level gone, Jin Yu's thoughts began turning again.

Country Lord?

Thirteen?

Those two simple pieces of information, which he had been too distracted to consider earlier, made his pupils contract involuntarily.

No way? I've met the big shot of the Gan Wu Universe Country?

Without thinking, Jin Yu's knees went weak, and he knelt before the Gan Wu Country Lord's feet.

"Jin Yu pays respects to the Gan Wu Country Lord!"

This was a high-level Venerable! An absolute big shot within the Virtual Universe Company!

Although his presence was not particularly strong, and Jin Yu's memories of him mostly consisted of "poor," "weak," and "miserable," there was no denying that the Gan Wu Country Lord was still among the tiny handful of the universe's most powerful beings.

Even an Invincible King would be killed by him in minutes.

Having ruled over a Universe Country for endless eras, he was himself a super archaeological history book of immeasurable value.
