Mìxīng felt that the change was actually in Zhou Lin's temperament.

Zhou Lin was tall and imposing. His former self had possessed an openly sharp aura, carrying a genius's pride and always looking down on others with his head held high.

But now, Zhou Lin had become much more restrained. He appeared refined and handsome, giving people a much friendlier impression.

"First Level of Chaotic Hole True Intent is already enough to rival the strength of the Third Level of Second-Grade True Intent."

Zhou Lin could sense that if he stepped into the Demigod Level, he would definitely be able to defeat a Peak God in battle, namely a Ninth Stage Lord of the Realm.

Even more powerful Gods were Immortals.

As for Realm Gods, the First Layer was equivalent to an Elementary Venerable.

Such speed was something the Primordial Universe System would not even dare imagine.

Genius members had different matters to handle at every stage. The Stellar level could be said to carry little risk, while those at the Cosmic level had to undertake all sorts of missions.

Domain Lords were sent out to serve as Great Officials of the Frontier.

The Realm Lord stage was the most dangerous period. One had to venture into the Outer Domain Battlefield or Cosmic Secret Realms, far away from Human Territory.

After becoming a Cosmic level cultivator, there was no need to rush into accepting missions.

Zhou Lin's former self had also spent all his points, but nearly all of them had gone toward cultivation manuals, such as the first three volumes of the Dragon Soaring Manual, as well as auxiliary methods similar to Soul Seal.

He had once spent every day studying these manuals and cultivating.

Now that he read through them again, he could easily comprehend things that had once been obscure and difficult, as though his Heavenly Eye had been opened.

The Dragon Soaring Manual had likewise been created by a Venerable. It contained an enormous number of Secret Arts.

Zhou Lin only occasionally practiced the manual. Most of his time was immersed in studying his own Chaotic Hole True Meaning, hoping to reach the Third Realm as soon as possible.

He even hoped to condense a God Heart...

Once he condensed a First-Grade Divine Heart, becoming a Realm God would be certain.

Although Realm Gods and Realm Lords sounded similar, they were actually entirely different concepts.

"Even Immortals will die if they enter a Black Hole."

Zhou Lin looked at the Black Hole on the screen. He vaguely felt that the composition of Hun Dong was extremely similar to that of a Black Hole.

Great Chaotic Hole Power was matter collapsing into an ultimate single point.

A Black Hole was the same.

With his current strength, it was certainly impossible for him to achieve such an effect. He could not even make matter collapse completely.

Occasionally, Zhou Lin would also attend lectures in the Virtual Universe, going to his former teacher, King Fengyan. She was a Peak Immortal King.

In terms of laws, Peak Kings were already infinitely close to Universe Venerables. The only difference between them and Limit of Immortal Kings was Divine Body Amplitude.

His former self had ranked in the top three of this Genius Battle, so he could be considered quite a talented figure. It was only normal for a King to take him as a disciple.

Many of those from the Tiandi Secret Realm could only end up with Ordinary Immortals as their teachers.

King Fengyan wore long Golden Curly Hair, and her appearance was breathtakingly beautiful. She was an exceptionally rare Female Immortal King.

"Zhou Lin, how is your comprehension of the Dragon Soaring Manual?"

King Fengyan was expressionless and appeared extremely cold, but she still cared greatly about her disciple's cultivation progress.

With her guidance, Zhou Lin's progress in the Primordial Universe System was equally rapid, and many of his doubts were resolved with ease.

"Reporting to Teacher, I should be able to pass the Sixth Level of Tongtian Bridge."

King Fengyan rarely revealed a smile. Aside from Kedi, the members of Zhou Lin's generation were actually inferior to Bolan, and even Luo Feng.

One had to know that during his time in Chaos City, Luo Feng had already been able to pass the Fifth Level of Tongtian Bridge.

Bolan had even passed the sixth level.

Anyone who could normally pass the sixth level at this point would be judged a genius.

It had only been a dozen or so years since they left Chaos City.

Teacher, Teacher. If I went all out, I would be far beyond the sixth level.

Zhou Lin muttered inwardly. The True Meaning he had awakened was First-Grade Chaotic Hole True Intent. If it had been Space True Intent instead, he would not need to hide it.

"Very good." King Fengyan smiled faintly, and even Zhou Lin was briefly dazed by her fleeting charm.

After bidding farewell to his teacher, Zhou Lin began studying missions in the Virtual Universe. With his current strength, if he went all out, he truly could fight a Realm Lord.

That was how heaven-defying First Grade True Meaning was.

It was like a God: even without breaking through to become a Realm God, once one condensed a First-Grade Divine Heart, one's strength would far surpass others at the same stage.

His strength in the Primordial Universe was at the Ninth Stage Cosmic Level.

If Chaotic Hole True Meaning was not considered, Zhou Lin's comprehension of laws was truly only at the sixth level of Tongtian Bridge. He could only contend with a weaker Domain Lord.

No matter how heaven-defying First Grade True Meaning was, no matter how much it could alter one's talent, it could not help Zhou Lin comprehend laws of different directions, or rather, rules.

First Grade True Meanings such as Hun Dong and Extreme Point followed an extreme path.

The laws of the Primordial Universe, on the other hand, mainly emphasized balance.

What Zhou Lin needed most at present was precisely the methods of the Snow Eagle System. He possessed True Meaning but had no guidance whatsoever and could only explore it alone.

After settling down for some time, Zhou Lin was ready to begin gaining prestige.

When he opened the Cultivation Panel in the Virtual Universe, a series of cultivation missions appeared before his eyes.

He would not even consider Dangerous level missions.

So-called Dangerous level missions, such as Blood Luo Continent, held little meaning as a trial for him.

First Grade True Meaning could rival the Third Realm of Second-Grade True Intent from the very beginning.

Moreover, his was the exceptionally powerful and extreme Chaotic Hole True Meaning. His body could grow to more than Ten Thousand Miles in size, and with a wave of his hand, he could crush Ordinary Cosmic Level cultivators to death.

As for Domain Lords and Realm Lords?

Only Strong Lords of the Realm could probably fight Zhou Lin.

There were quite a few Transcendents who could defeat Gods across realms. They merely needed to wield sufficiently powerful True Meaning.

Many Gods condensed God Hearts that were not even Third-grade.

Demigods who grasped Second-Grade True Intent could slaughter Gods with Weak Divine Hearts as easily as killing chickens.

"Warning! Warning!"

The world before Zhou Lin's eyes flashed with red light. The system was solemnly warning him as it displayed a long notification panel.

"Your Highness Zhou Lin, this is your first time accepting a cultivation mission. The mortality rate for choosing a Desperate level mission is as high as One Hundred Percent. Please choose carefully. Please choose carefully!"

The scarlet words appeared on the screen as though they had been stained with blood.

"One Hundred Percent?!"

Zhou Lin was shocked. It turned out that no one who had dared choose a Desperate Level Mission on their first attempt had ever succeeded.

How high was this difficulty?

In truth, every mission involved a considerable degree of luck.

Whether Dangerous level or Desperate level, for missions like Blood Luo Continent, if one happened to encounter an Immortal immediately upon landing—

Then even the current Zhou Lin would be effortlessly erased.

Immortals were equivalent to Extremely Powerful Gods in the Snow Eagle System. Nearly all of them possessed Third-grade or Second-Grade Divine Heart strength.

Gods who could be defeated across realms by Transcendents generally only possessed Lord of the Realm Strength.

Meanwhile, the Virtual Universe System sent this information to King Fengyan in the background. This was being responsible toward every genius.

They enjoyed vast resources. Even if they died, they had to die amid the Tempering of Blood and Fire, not at a time that was practically a free death.
