Obtaining a World Divine Artifact (Please Continue Reading)

History is like a cycle.

In the past, Zhou Ming Wang defeated Morse, becoming a banner for the Tiwala Tribe and encouraging its geniuses to rise.

Then Zhou Lin arrived with overwhelming force, sweeping aside Bai Bo like a sharp blade, even defeating a Realm Lord while merely a Domain Lord himself.

The Virtual Universe began a synchronized broadcast.

Countless members of the Tiwala Tribe witnessed everything with their own eyes.

"Let's go." Zhou Ming Wang wore a complicated expression as he descended onto the arena. He grabbed Bai Bo with one hand and teleported away.

The other Kings led Zhou Lin and the others away from the Fighting Arena.

Ximo hovered in the air. He was similarly sorrowful, and only after gathering himself for a moment did he speak. "It was only one defeat. Why are you all so dejected?"

Countless people raised their heads and gazed at the city lord.

Ximo likewise swept his gaze over everyone. From Domain Lords to Immortals, they all looked somewhat exhausted or dazed, completely lacking spirit.

"What are you doing? You merely lost one sparring match, yet every one of you is already hanging your heads?" Ximo's voice rose sharply.

He could not leave with them. As the city lord and the Tiwala Tribe's public elder, he had to stabilize the tribe's emotions at a time like this.

There were hundreds of billions of people inside and outside the Fighting Arena, and more than a trillion members of the tribe were watching this scene in the Virtual Universe.

Ximo shouted, "If a person or a race can't even accept a little defeat, how can you talk about becoming stronger or rising up? Were those Peak Races already like that from the very beginning?"

His voice was highly infectious, reigniting the fervor in everyone's hearts.

"That's right. Could those Peak Races never suffer defeat?"

"It was only one defeat. We'll achieve the same thing in the future."

Seeing the reaction of the people below, Ximo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Learn from your disgrace and grow brave." Ximo spoke heavily. "Looking at all of history, Zhou Lin is one of the most monstrous Domain Lords. What's so unacceptable about losing to him? Losing once isn't frightening. What's frightening is not daring to face him again!"

"Well said, Lord Ximo!"

Someone began applauding, and extremely enthusiastic applause resounded throughout the Fighting Arena. The members of the tribe watching from the Virtual Universe also stopped grieving and pulled themselves together.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ming Wang and Bai Bo teleported repeatedly, soon reaching the sacred land of the Moling Great World near the Venerable Lord Hall. After flying for a while longer, the two arrived at the very top.

It was where the Venerable Elders resided, the absolute core of the place.

Normally, only the most peerless geniuses were qualified to enter.

The hall was empty, as if there were nothing inside. Yet in Bai Bo's eyes, it was as though he had entered the starry sky of the universe, with Star Remnant fragments scattered everywhere.

"Defeat was already inevitable, so don't blame him. Even you might not have been able to do anything to Zhou Lin when you were a Realm Lord."

A voice came from the depths of the hall. "This human genius's future achievements are immeasurable. You can build a good relationship with him within the limits of your authority."

Zhou Ming Wang nodded. "I understand. I'll leave Bai Bo here, Honored Lord."

After Zhou Ming Wang left, an aged figure slowly emerged from the empty hall. Yet the aura emanating from his body was boundless and ancient, far surpassing that of an Immortal.

"Losing isn't a problem, but you must understand why you lost."

Bai Bo hurriedly knelt and saluted, secretly sizing up the Venerable Elder from the corner of his eye.

The Tiwala Tribe was half Plant Lifeform, while the other half of its bloodline resembled that of humans. Under normal development, its members could become Domain Lords upon reaching adulthood.

The stronger a member of the tribe was, the less obvious the Plant Lifeform characteristics became. Figures like Ximo and the other Kings looked like zombies, while this Venerable Elder had no plant characteristics whatsoever apart from his skin color.

He was over 1.9 meters tall and wore a loose, old, pale-green robe. An extremely rich aura of life emanated from him.

"Venerable Elder, I have failed the tribe." Bai Bo blamed himself deeply and said bitterly, "If my comprehension had been comparable to that of a King and my power had reached the level of a Marquis, I could have won."

"Reaching the eighteenth level of Tongtian Bridge is difficult even for a Realm Lord from humanity's Primal Secret Realm." The Venerable Elder consoled him. "Besides, Zhou Lin is highly skilled. Even if you had been comparable to a Marquis, defeating him would still have been difficult."

No system could escape this point: the profundity of techniques.

Why could the God Emperor of the Enlightenment Path brutally defeat those of the same level who followed the Bloodline Flow?

It was just that the Primordial Universe System focused solely on studying laws. It instead conducted very little research into the Heaven and Earth Rules and did not possess much in the way of techniques.

With equal power and both relying on law comprehension, the difference between someone skilled in swordsmanship and someone who only knew how to seclude himself and study laws was self-evident.

"Don't be disheartened. The fact that you were willing to stand up for the tribe is already a good thing."

The Honored Lord looked at Bai Bo. "I'll give you an opportunity. Cultivate in this top-level hall for one hundred thousand years. I hope you can make some progress."

With that, his figure gradually disappeared.

Bai Bo clenched both fists and swore inwardly: Zhou Lin, even if I'm not remotely your equal today, I'll keep advancing along this path until the day I catch up to you.

People in different positions naturally had completely different thoughts. In the Venerable Elder's eyes, victory or defeat was completely unimportant. Ximo and Bai Bo had both rendered meritorious service and needed to be rewarded.

Otherwise, with Bai Bo's talent, entering this place to cultivate would have been extremely difficult.

At that moment, Zhou Lin was marveling at the explosive rise in his Prestige Value.

[Host Reputation +9999]

[Host Reputation +9999]

After skyrocketing several times in succession, it finally stopped.

Clearly, even some members of the Tiwala Tribe had been won over by him.

[Congratulations, Host Reputation has reached the next stage.]

[Congratulations, Host has received a reward: Random World Divine Artifact.]

[Congratulations, Host has received a Top-grade World Divine Artifact: Cangyun.]

"A Top-grade World Divine Artifact?" Zhou Lin was overjoyed. This thing was extraordinarily valuable and extremely important even to Realm Gods. He was currently only a mere Demigod, so even driving it would be difficult.

Moreover, True God Artifacts contained a certain Dao, while World Divine Artifacts contained portions of the Heaven and Earth Rules.

The Chaos Hole Divine Heart, Space-time Divine Heart, and World Divine Heart were all parts of the Heaven and Earth Rules. They would also be extremely helpful for comprehension.

Zhou Lin's greatest problem at present was that he had no teacher. He found it difficult even to emulate nature.

"This really is a good thing." Zhou Lin took out Cangyun. The vast majority of Fourth Heaven Celestial Gods were not qualified to obtain such a treasure.

The treasure looked like a mass of white clouds and was a relatively special World Divine Artifact.

It could be used to store things and could also be used in battle.

Moreover, this treasure was related to space-time, which would also make it convenient for Zhou Lin to study the Law of Space and time.

Although the two Origin Worlds were different, and even the universes were different, there would always be similarities. Using it as a reference would be excellent.

"Kid, you're only a Transcendent, yet you want to control me?" The World Divine Artifact suddenly transmitted a voice, giving Zhou Lin, who was studying it, quite a fright.

"It has an Artifact Spirit?" Zhou Lin was stunned. The divine artifacts given by the system before had none, yet he had never expected this World Divine Artifact to possess one.

Cangyun said smugly, "I'm a World Divine Artifact. Is it strange for me to have an Artifact Spirit? You're merely a Transcendent, yet you want to control me? You're still far too lacking."
