Universe Master

Biodata

Classification

Nature and Authority

Universe Masters are Divine Physique lifeforms, possessing no conventional fatal weaknesses, immense endurance, and powerful bursts of divine power. Their strength nevertheless declines sharply after substantial Divine Physique loss; losing over half can reduce combat strength to below ten percent. 160 420

• They can command space-time and reverse space-time for revival. 160
• Their divine power is costly to replenish after high-level combat; recovery can take millions of years without a Source Treasure. 160
• They are generally able to detect other Universe Masters infiltrating their race's territory, making covert operations at this level difficult. 382
• A Universe Master is a race's foundation. Their involvement signals a genuine cosmic war, unlike conflicts handled by Immortals or Cosmic Venerables. 378 399
• In the Original Universe, Cosmic Strongests are heavily suppressed, while a Universe Master can still be decisive in inter-racial warfare. 378

Combat Tiers

Paths to Advancement

Law Path

The conventional route relies on comprehending the Laws of Space and Time. However, Beast God-path Universe Masters may control and reverse space-time despite not fully comprehending space-time. 388

• The Law Path has comparatively limited long-term potential if its limits are not surpassed. 388
• To become a Cosmic Strongest, a Universe Master must forge an original path rather than repeat one created by a predecessor. 164 389

Origin Profundity Path

Shen Ye sought advancement through the Law of Fire and Origin Profundity rather than following the standard space-time route. 388 389

• This path enabled him to become a Cosmic Venerable with combat power comparable to a third-tier Universe Master before his formal breakthrough. 395
• After advancing to Universe Master, Shen Ye was already a top-tier fifth-stage Universe Master. 417
• His path was considered significant because independently forging a route before becoming a Cosmic Strongest would remove the usual barrier of creating one at that later stage. 389

World Prison Incident

World Prison, initially presented as the Chaos Tablet, was designed to suppress lower laws and gradually expand its capacity from Immortals to Cosmic Venerables and ultimately Universe Masters. 397 399 416

• Shen Ye deliberately used it as bait, planning to enter personally and lift its restrictions to lure hostile Universe Masters inside. 400
• Lord of Sirius entered after Luo Feng escaped through a passage connected to the Chaos Tablet. 416
• Shen Ye defeated and enslaved Sirius, then hunted further entrants to build a force of hidden agents against the Cosmic Strongests of the six peak races. 417
• Some captured Universe Masters received dormant mind-seeds rather than immediate enslavement, allowing Shen Ye to conceal their compromised status. 418
