Departure

After cultivating in the quiet room for another fifteen years, Zhou Lin mainly consolidated the first layer of the Myriad Tribulation Primordial Body and the first layer of Great Chaos True Power.

Although Palace Master Tianshi had told him to do his best, Zhou Lin still had to keep the timing under control. Otherwise, he would make many people's jaws drop.

He was not yet three hundred years old. He had only been in this world for a hundred years, and this year, Zhou Lin had turned exactly two hundred and ten.

Many of the Stellar-level contestants in the Genius Battle were older than that.

Just like the Tianyu Universe, the human race also recorded various cultivation speed records, but they were limited to the genius level.

For example, who was the fastest person to cultivate to the Immortal level?

And who was the fastest to cultivate to the Universe Venerable level?

The current Immortal record was held by King Yuezi. He had taken only a little over two thousand years, having previously been merely a Realm Lord of the Taichu Secret Realm.

As for someone whose combat power rivaled that of an Immortal, the fastest record had been created by the Yuan Ancestor. He had reached that level while still a Domain Lord, and had taken only one or two hundred years.

"Kedi has already passed the Domain Lord-level Primal Tongtian Mountain."

On the eve of his departure, an email arrived in Zhou Lin's inbox.

"I actually got beaten to it this time." Zhou Lin smiled. He had planned to do this right before advancing to the Realm Lord level, but he had not expected Kedi to move so quickly.

After cultivating Dragon Abyss all these years, receiving Palace Master Tianshi's guidance, and often comprehending the Dragon-walking Chaos Tablet, his law comprehension had only reached the fourteenth level.

He was still two levels short of the Domain Lord-level Primal Tongtian Mountain.

However, Zhou Lin's Chaotic Hole True Meaning had finally reached the second realm.

Even without condensing Water Drop Power, the might he could unleash far surpassed what a Domain Lord should possess. Even with inferior law comprehension, he would have no problem passing the Tongtian Bridge.

"Let's go, Aido."

Zhou Lin arrived at the manor. Zuo Ke had already set up the fastest route to the Moling World, and the Virtual Universe Company's staff had also arrived early.

"Your Highness, what banner are you traveling under to this Moling Great World?" Aido asked curiously. Although the mission was for him to sweep through the other side's younger generation, they could not exactly tell outsiders that he had come to accept their challenges.

"We told them we were here to verify a trade." Zhou Lin smiled. "I only understood after reading the mission briefing. No wonder the Virtual Universe Company wants me to suppress them."

These affiliated races lived within Human Territory, so they naturally engaged in extensive material trading, such as technological products.

The Merchant Department happened to have an order worth several hundred billion mixed elements with them.

For such a huge sum, the giant of the Merchant Department, King Liuxu, would normally have to go there personally. Zhou Lin, however, had taken over the assignment.

In the left-side cabin of the spaceship were the personnel King Liuxu had sent to accompany Zhou Lin and handle the affairs. There were four Realm Lords and more than a dozen Domain Lords.

"Tell me about it." Aido grew interested as well. "I'd like to know what they did to make my Virtual Universe Company send someone to put pressure on them."

"It's nothing much." Zhou Lin played some of the information provided by the Virtual Universe Company on a screen.

Tens of thousands of eras ago, a Highness from the Giant Axe Fighting Arena had been invited to this Moling Great World. Unfortunately, that Highness had rather poor luck.

He encountered a challenge from the Tiwala Tribe's supreme genius and was easily defeated by the other party.

The person who defeated him had now become a Limit of Immortal King and might even break through to the Universe Venerable level. In the Tiwala Tribe, he was practically a living banner.

Since then, the Tiwala Tribe had passed this story down from generation to generation.

They believed that their race was equally glorious and repeatedly praised these achievements, causing some people to feel that human geniuses were nothing special.

The upper echelons of the Tiwala Tribe did not stop them, but tacitly approved.

For a race to grow stronger and develop, it had to possess this kind of spirit.

"Talk about not knowing how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is." Aido curled his lips. "That person from the Giant Axe Fighting Arena could hardly be considered a true human genius. What was there to be proud of after defeating him?"

The spaceship traveled through the Dark Universe at fifty times the speed of light.

At this speed, it would take a month and a half to reach the Cosmic Secret Realm where the Tiwala Tribe was located.

Survival was difficult. As an affiliated race, they naturally could not occupy the best star regions and could only open up a world within a Cosmic Secret Realm.

Zhou Lin had also learned some basic information about this race.

They were even more powerful than the Golden Horn Tribe. Their race had several Universe Venerables, and every one of them was formidable.

With Zhou Lin's authority, he could not investigate any higher-level information. However, based on his understanding of the world, they definitely did not have a Universe Master.

They could not possibly have a Top Universe Overlord, either.

If a race with a Universe Master pledged allegiance, humanity would have to show it sufficient respect and designate a vast region of space for it to inhabit.

It would be even less likely to send Zhou Lin over to knock them down a peg.

More than a month later.

Buzz~

Zhou Lin walked out of the cabin and went straight to the spaceship's control room. Aido and two Realm Lords from the escort team were standing by the window, watching outside.

Because they were worried about disturbing Zhou Lin's cultivation, they had not activated the spaceship's virtual exterior view. They had merely gazed into the distance from the control room.

"We just traveled back to the Original Universe." The Artificial Intelligence Zuo Ke appeared. "Master, weren't you cultivating?"

Zhou Lin did not answer. He had long since been captivated by the boundless world before him.

After cultivating the Myriad Tribulation Primordial Body, his five senses and six perceptions had become extraordinarily keen. No movement could escape him, let alone a spaceship emerging from the Dark Universe.

Before Zhou Lin lay a supercontinent far more expansive than the Blood Luo Continent. Even with his eyesight, he could not see its end.

Countless stars floated above the continent.

They were stars transported from all over the universe by the Tiwala Tribe's Great Beings through unimaginable means.

Whoosh!

An ink-colored figure appeared outside the spaceship. Its appearance differed greatly from that of humans and was somewhat similar to a Plant Lifeform.

It wore a loose cyan robe and had bamboo-joint-like arms, yet its aura was not weak. Judging from the teleportation it had just performed, this person should be a King Immortal.

"Are you Highness Zhou Lin of the Virtual Universe Company?"

A message was sent into the control room. After confirming his identity, the King Immortal teleported directly into the spaceship.

"I, Ximo, will lead you from here." The ink-colored King was very friendly, with a smile constantly hanging on his face. From Zhou Lin's perspective, however, the smile looked exceptionally stiff no matter how he viewed it.

This race was half Plant Lifeform. Their dark-green faces gave Zhou Lin the illusion that he was looking at a zombie.

The intelligence of this race's ordinary members was also not high. They were probably on par with Rock Lifeforms, and were naturally far inferior to humans.

As one of the Peak Races, humanity's greatest strengths were its intelligence and high comprehension ability.

"If you had come on a Merchant Department spaceship, it wouldn't have been so troublesome." Ximo smiled. "But this is your first time bringing your own spaceship here, Your Highness."

Zhou Lin's old spaceship had been too slow. This one had been given to him by King Wuxing and the other two, after which he had spent some points modifying it himself.

The points from the Desperate Level Mission and the Tongtian Bridge added together meant that although this spaceship was somewhat lacking in material quality, its speed was definitely not slow.

Ximo studied Zhou Lin from the corner of his eye.

They had long heard of this legendary genius giant. It was not difficult to guess why he had come, but Ximo had to maintain a warm attitude.

Thanks to everyone for the monthly passes. I'll be updating normally during the new-book period, and I'll release many more chapters after it goes on sale as thanks.
