An overbearing Supreme's descendant, Lin Yi's plans

As it drew closer, several detection nodes emitting powerful energy fluctuations conducted a full scan of it.

Soon, a neutral, synthesized mechanical voice was transmitted directly into the spacecraft's communication system.

"Identity confirmed: Human Race, Lin Yi. Authority level: High. Welcome to Frost Eternal Base."

As the identities were confirmed, the previously dense patrol machinery parted to make way, and the massive energy shield opened a temporary entrance that could only accommodate one spaceship at a time.

Following the received guidance signals, the "Shadow Shuttle" reduced its speed and headed toward the designated entry channel.

Upon entering the shield, Lin Yi noticed a stable force field in the air, formed by the interweaving of various laws, with an astonishingly high energy concentration.

The massive buildings in the distance became increasingly clear, covered with traces of battle and subsequent repairs, telling of the fact that this place was not entirely peaceful.

Lin Yi docked the "Shadow Shuttle" at the designated public berth. The berth platform automatically extended a connecting passage. Then, with a thought, he stored both the Fearless War God Clone and the ordinary clone into his Internal World, leaving only his true self to step out of the spaceship.

His arrival quickly attracted attention from a small circle of people.

Those who can operate here are at least among the best of the higher deities; their senses are extremely sharp, and the appearance of a strange face alone is enough to attract attention.

Therefore, Lin Yi was quickly recognized by the surrounding deities.

"Hmm? That person looks familiar."

"It's him! Lin Yi! The Human Race genius who used Source Treasures to crush the Abyss-Devouring Allied Forces on the 45th floor!"

"Lin Yi? I heard he went up to the 47th floor, he got here so quickly?"

The recognized deities immediately began to whisper among themselves.

Soon, nearby deities from the Pan-Spirit Alliance nodded to Lin Yi or sent him a simple telepathic greeting of "Welcome."

Lin Yi responded calmly to each question.

He could sense that after a brief period of attention in the berth area, some divine thoughts were quietly spreading, transmitting the message "Lin Yi has arrived at the base" to their respective friends or teams.

After all, there are nearly two thousand high-ranking deities residing in the entire base, but only about forty peak deities are known to possess Source Treasures. The appearance of each new Source Treasure holder may subtly affect the balance of the top forces of the Pan-Spirit Alliance and the allocation of tasks within the base, which is worth paying attention to.

Lin Yi was fully aware of this and accepted it calmly. Following the directions, he headed towards the "Reception and Registration Center" in the Core Zone the hub.

The gods who came and went were of various races. Most of them were in a hurry, either lost in thought or discussing in hushed tones, but without exception, their auras were extremely powerful.

Soon, Lin Yi arrived in front of a hemispherical silver building.

He entered and found the interior space to be vast and softly lit. There were only a handful of deities inside, but to Lin Yi's slight surprise, behind one of the largest reception desks stood a serene and exquisitely crafted Machine Race.

However, the fluctuations in the laws of law are only at the level of ordinary gods.

How did an ordinary deity end up on the 47th floor, and even end up doing reception work here?

A question flashed through Lin Yi's mind.

Seemingly sensing the slight doubt in Lin Yi's eyes, the Machine Race stepped forward and approached Lin Yi. "Lord Lin Yi, welcome to Frost Eternal Base. I am Cardinal-7, the base's General Affairs Officer. By order of my lord ' Tabo,' I am here to manage the base's daily operations and the reception of high-ranking visitors."

He paused slightly and explained, "Your information has been pre-entered and marked as high priority. According to the base's rules, normal visitors are usually handled by World Derivation level Mechanical Servants, while those with Source Treasure holder authority or higher, or those with equivalent strategic value authority, are handled directly by me."

Lin Yi suddenly realized, and at the same time, he secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

It turns out this is a god-level Mechanical Servants of Machine Race; no wonder it could be brought into the 47th floor.

Because the Mechanical Servants of the Machine Race are essentially separate entities of their masters, and can be directly taken over and controlled by their masters at any time, they are usually regarded as one entity.

Its master, "Tabo," must be a veteran and top-tier figure within the Machine Race.

After all, the fact that a god-level Mechanical Servants could be placed here as the "chief steward" clearly indicates that its owner possesses far more Mechanical Servants of the same or even higher level.

"Is this the foundation of a veteran peak deity? Indeed, they are not to be underestimated."

Lin Yi sighed inwardly, and nodded to Cardinal-7, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."

"It's my duty." Cardinal-7 smiled. "Your private lounge is ready. Here is your access key, a map of the hub's interior, and a summary of the latest regulations. Would you like a guide, or is there any other priority you require assistance with?"

Just then, a gentle, smiling voice came from the side. The owner of the voice seemed to blend perfectly into the space, and was not noticed until he spoke, "There's no need for a guide, leave it to me."

Lin Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a Human Race man with a peaceful face, dressed in a simple gray robe, standing not far away.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Cardinal 7 immediately bowed slightly, his tone even more respectful than before. "Prison Suppressor Guardian."

A hint of joy flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he stepped forward. "Senior Brother."

The visitor was none other than Prison Suppressor.

He smiled and nodded, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yi. "Faster than I expected. Not bad." Then he said to Cardinal-7, "I'll handle the rest. Thank you for your hard work."

"It is my pleasure to serve you, Prison Suppressor," Cardinal-7 replied respectfully, then said to Lin Yi, "Lord Lin Yi, please feel free to contact me if you require any assistance with base matters. I wish you all the best at the base."

After saying that, he returned to his original position.

Prison Suppressor walked up to Lin Yi, patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, you did something big on the 45th floor! It's even reached the 47th floor! Even I, your senior brother, am proud. Come on, let's go somewhere first, and then I'll take you to your residence. Hehe, there's a guy who's been waiting for you for over eight hundred years."

As Lin Yi followed Prison Suppressor out of the registration center, he said, "Senior Brother, are you talking about Starflow? I heard he brought something the Overlord gave me?"

Prison Suppressor didn't stop walking, glancing at him sideways. "Looks like you've already received the news on the way."

"Yes, I met some friends from the Pan-Spirit Alliance on the way, and they heard about it." Lin Yi nodded. "However, they don't know the specifics of what it is. It seems that Starflow doesn't know exactly what's inside either; he's only responsible for safekeeping and transferring it."

"That's normal," Prison Suppressor explained. "A gift from the Sovereign is strictly confidential unless he says it can be shared with others. You'll know once you see Starflow and get the item. Come on, I'll take you to Starflow first."

Because there are strict laws governing the Frost Eternal Base, the use of flight or teleportation is prohibited except in emergency combat or special training situations, so as not to interfere with other gods who are cultivating or comprehending within the base. Therefore, Prison Suppressor made a few operations on a summoning node next to the passage.

Soon, a small, sleek, silver-gray Flying Shuttle glided silently to a stop right in front of them.

The hatch opens, revealing a small but comfortable interior space.

"Come on in, it's too far to walk there," Prison Suppressor called out, and sat down first.

Lin Yi followed closely behind and sat down beside him.

The Flying Shuttle cabin door closed, and it began to move smoothly along the pre-set air route. The speed was not slow, but the ride was extremely quiet and stable.

Through the transparent porthole, Lin Yi could see the staggered buildings of the base below.

During this journey, Prison Suppressor began to give Lin Yi a brief introduction to the general situation of Frost Eternal Base and the 47th floor.

"Frost Eternal Base is our Pan-Spirit Alliance's most important stronghold in the area surrounding the 47th floor. It is home to nearly three thousand deities, of whom nearly five hundred are high-level peak deities. Core decision-making power is held by the peak deities who possess Source Treasures. Currently, there are forty-two known holders of Source Treasures within the base."

Lin Yi listened silently; this number matched the "forty-odd" that Star Dome had mentioned.

"These forty-two Origin Treasure Deities are the true core of the base," Prison Suppressor continued. "Among them, the Spirit Race has the most, with sixteen. The other powerful races, such as the Machine Race, the Holy Radiance Race, and the Crystal Spirit Race, each have one to three. Our Human Race was originally only of average, with two." He glanced at Lin Yi, "But now, including you, we have three."

Lin Yi's eyes flickered slightly. In this way, the Human Race would be considered one of the top races among the powerful races.

"It needs to be specially reminded that these Origin Treasure gods in the base have basically understood the existence of the higher laws." Zhen Yu said with a hint of emotion, "It's either the law of time or the law of space. After all, the prototypes of the Origin Treasures we brought in were all given by the ethnic group. Even the gods of the higher laws are not qualified."

Lin Yi nodded silently. Indeed, although the number of gods who have reached the god level has decreased sharply due to the extreme difficulty in fully comprehending a superior law, there are still some among powerful clans, so naturally they will allocate the prototype of the source treasure to the strongest.

After Lin Yi had processed the news for a while, Prison Suppressor continued, "Among these powerful experts with Origin Treasures, there is one who requires special attention: Ellis of the Spirit Race."

Ellis?

"Yes. He is a peak-level deity." Prison Suppressor paused slightly, staring at Lin Yi as he slowly continued, "Furthermore, like you, he cultivates both space and time, and is a direct descendant of the Spirit Race's first Supreme Being— the Primeval Cosmos Supreme."

Therefore, he is not only recognized as the strongest person in the Frost Eternal Base, but also the highest decision-maker.

"The dual laws of spacetime? Or a descendant of a supreme being?" Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

"That's right."

Prison Suppressor nodded. "It is said that if this Ellis hadn't been so insistent on using the Law of Time as the core to break through to the Origin Law level, thus remaining stuck at the threshold of the Source Law level, he probably could have already broken through to the Source Law level using advanced laws. But even though he hasn't become Origin Law expert yet, his strength is universally acknowledged as the strongest in the gap."

Lin Yi wholeheartedly agreed.

Having also cultivated the laws of spacetime, he naturally knew the power of combining spacetime.

Moreover, the other party is a descendant of a supreme being, so their equipment, secret techniques, various treasures, and even the prototype of the source treasure they brought in should all be top-tier.

With all these factors combined, it's easy to imagine how terrifying the other party could be.

Prison Suppressor paused slightly, seemingly considering his words, before continuing, "However, this person's strength and background are impeccable, but his personality is rather assertive. He doesn't really consider the feelings of others when he speaks and acts, and sometimes his words are quite direct and unforgiving."

"It is said that although this Lord Ellis has not yet become a Venerable Lord, his status and authority within the Spirit Race are no less than those of an ordinary Venerable Lord Rank expert. In addition, he comes from a supreme family, possesses exceptional talent, and has had an extremely smooth journey, but he has been stuck at the threshold of the Origin Law for many years. It is inevitable that his temperament is somewhat... well, somewhat eccentric."

"Strange?" Lin Yi, somewhat surprised. "Senior brother, are you saying that Ellis is difficult to get along with?"

"It's not entirely like that," Prison Suppressor added. "He's not targeting anyone in particular. Based on our interactions and observations over the years, his attitude seems more like it's directed at everyone. To put it bluntly, most of the gods in the base, including many Source Treasure holders, probably don't meet his standards."

Lin Yi frowned slightly upon hearing this, "Senior brother, have you also been targeted by him?"

"Uh, I haven't had much contact with him, so I haven't..." Prison Suppressor explained first, then said, "Junior brother, don't misunderstand. Although Lord Ellis has a bad temper, he always charges to the front in every battle and undertakes the most dangerous tasks, so even if everyone feels a little uncomfortable, they can't say anything."

"If you have contact with him in the future, or hear some unpleasant things he says in public, don't take it too seriously. He's not targeting you personally."

Lin Yi nodded in understanding. "I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. Strength is paramount. As long as he acts fairly and contributes to the overall interests of the base, his personal temperament isn't a major issue."

"It's good that you think that way."

Prison Suppressor gave him an approving look, then remembered something, "By the way, our Human Race has a total of 151 high-ranking gods in the base. Besides me, there is another holder of Space Law source treasure named Sijia. He is more senior than me and is more tactful in handling matters. The daily coordination of the base, task allocation, and interest negotiations are mainly handled by Sijia, who is responsible for maintaining the overall interests of our Human Race."

At this point, he chuckled self-deprecatingly, "As for me, my main responsibility before was to achieve victories, use my fists to fight for the status of the Human Race, and bolster Lord Sijia's reputation. Junior brother, if you don't want to be bothered by these trivial matters, you can learn from me. After all, in a place like this, ultimately, strength is the only true measure of power and the only source of influence."

Lin Yi nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly, "Yes, weak people have no diplomacy. If you are strong enough, many things will naturally be much simpler."

Prison Suppressor nodded in satisfaction. "That's well said. Also, according to the base's usual practice, unless there's a sudden major event requiring urgent consultation, a core meeting attended by all the Origin Treasure Deities will be held every hundred years to discuss major decisions, task allocation, resource allocation, and other matters. The last meeting just took place not long ago. I've calculated that the next one will probably be in about ninety years. You'll definitely have to attend then, so be prepared."

Lin Yi noted down the two pieces of information: "Ninety years" and "core meeting".

This means he has a buffer period of about ninety years to familiarize himself with the base and improve his capabilities before he can formally enter the vision of the base's highest decision-making circle and participate in discussions that may affect the overall strategic direction of the base.

After finishing the important matters, Prison Suppressor then briefly introduced the distribution of some core facilities within the base. During the conversation, the Flying Shuttle had already entered a residential area with a more refined and unified architectural style, and finally landed slowly in front of an independent building with an exterior resembling a silver teardrop.

"We've arrived. Starflow will be staying here."

Prison Suppressor spoke, he and Lin Yi got off the Flying Shuttle.

There were no guards at the building entrance, but Lin Yi could feel a subtle yet powerful detection wave sweeping over them. After confirming their identities, the smooth silver door slid open silently to both sides.

Inside was a simple and bright living room, where a Human Race man dressed in an elegant white robe was already waiting.

He saw Prison Suppressor and Lin Yi enter, his gaze falling on Lin Yi, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Lord Lin Yi, we've finally waited for you." Starflow stepped forward and bowed slightly. "I am Starflow, and I have been ordered by Xuan Yan to wait here to deliver the gift bestowed upon me by the Sovereign."

"Thank you for waiting so long, Lord Starflow," Lin Yi quickly returned the greeting.

Without saying much, Starflow took out a silver-gray metal box with complex space sealing runes engraved on its surface, and a miniature spaceship model that was entirely blue-green and looked as if it were carved from jade.

"This box contains a gift from the Sovereign, but I haven't opened it and don't know its contents," Starflow, pushing the metal box towards Lin Yi. "And this spaceship, named Azure Vast, was a gift from the Tian He. The Tian He instructed that this ship's performance is decent, hoping it can lend you a hand."

Lin Yi first solemnly accepted the heavy metal box, carefully placed it down, and then took the "Azure Vast" with both hands.

Lin Yi Tian He Starflow. Please convey my gratitude to Tian He Lin Yi you have the opportunity in the future. I will remember this kindness."

"My duty is fulfilled now that the goods have been delivered," Starflow said with a smile. "I will rest at the base for a while, and may take on some missions later. If Lord Lin Yi has any further questions, please feel free to contact me."

After a brief exchange, Starflow clearly knew that Lin Yi was eager to see the gift bestowed by the Sovereign, and also understood that Prison Suppressor had achieved the main purpose of bringing Lin Yi here, so he politely saw the two of them off.

Prison Suppressor took Lin Yi on the Flying Shuttle for a while, and they arrived at the residence assigned to Lin Yi, a two-story silver-gray building with a separate courtyard.

"This is your residence. Your access has been activated." Prison Suppressor stood at the door, showing no intention of going in. "You go ahead and get busy. Familiarize yourself with the place, or you can go to the base's evacuation point to see if there's anything you need to exchange. Once you're settled and have finished your work, we brothers can have a proper get-together."

After saying that, he patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and turned to leave decisively.

Lin Yi knew that Senior Brother Prison Suppressor was deliberately avoiding him, leaving him absolute private space. After all, things bestowed by the Sovereign are not necessarily suitable for outsiders to be present.

This thoughtfulness and sense of propriety warmed Lin Yi's heart.

He entered the residence, activated the protective and isolation barriers, and then took out the silver-gray metal box.

The box made a soft "click" sound, and the complex rune chains lit up and went out one by one, before the lid slowly opened upwards.

The box was lined with soft black padding, and on top of that lay two palm-sized metal figures, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen.

Lin Yi's gaze fell on it, and he was first taken aback, then his pupils contracted slightly.

This design... it looks so similar to the "Fearless War God - T714" he already owns?

He instinctively reached out and carefully picked up one of the metal figurines.

The tentacles were cold and heavy. As his Soul Power tentatively probed them, a concise yet powerful Information Flow directly entered his soul:

[Fearless War God (ID: V-9)]

[Type: Mechanical Divine Body (Peak Level High God)]

[Status: Divine Body and Divine Kingdom awaiting soul binding]

[Core Feature: After adaptation and binding, it can bear the controller's understanding of laws and output the combat power of a superior god.]

[Minimum requirement for binding: At least a complete understanding of the nine laws]

[Current energy reserves: 100%]

[Note: The highest-spec combat unit in the Machine Race's "Fearless" series (the pinnacle version)]

"A peak-level, Fearless War God of the upper realm?!"

Even with Lin Yi's resolute will, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise, his heart pounding.

He immediately picked up another metal figure to examine it, and the information was exactly the same; it was also Fearless War God at the peak of the superior deities.

This... the Eternal Beginning Dominator actually bestowed upon them two mechanical divine bodies at the peak level of a high-ranking deity!

As expected of our own ruler, its value is more than a hundred times higher than that of the ordinary god-level Fearless War God bestowed by the Qing Yan before.

After a brief moment of shock, Lin Yi quickly began to calculate.

"Two peak-level Fearless War God— doesn't that mean that once my two clones are bound and fused, they will immediately possess divine power equivalent to a peak-level normal high-level god?"

He began to subconsciously assess his position within the base. "As a high-level peak avatar possessing a Source Treasure, my combat power should rank among the top in the base's forty-odd Origin Treasure Deities, right? But..."

Lin Yi thought of Ellis, Prison Suppressor had mentioned. "Even with a peak-level Fearless War God, I'm definitely no match for him. However, although I can't be number one, and even if the source treasures I have are a bit inferior, with the laws of spacetime, at least being in the top three shouldn't be a problem."

After considering for a while, Lin Yi suppressed the urge to immediately summon a clone to bind with it.

"No rush, no rush."

He murmured, carefully placing the two precious metal figures back into the box. "Having just arrived at the base, I'm still unfamiliar with the environment and the exchange list. The Overlord bestowed these items upon me, surely hoping I will make the most of their potential."

"I should first go to the base's evacuation point to see what I can exchange for, then convert my Points into combat power. After making thorough preparations, I should summon a new clone to bind with, thus boosting my strength to its current peak!"
