Explanation

Seeing his wry smile, Thirteen was about to get angry. As a personal guard of Lord Gan Wu, seeing Bai Yue's demeanor even after the Lord agreed to take him as a disciple, he had already been holding back his anger and wanted to teach this kid a lesson!

Fortunately, before he could act, Bai Yue spoke first.

"Lord Thirteen, please give me a few minutes first! You'll know later!" Bai Yue finally made up his mind and confessed everything to Lord Gan Wu.

After all, ever since Lord Gan Wu took him as a disciple, the old man had devoted himself to planning for him, personally demonstrating the essence of laws, and providing all sorts of Secret Manuals, truly holding nothing back!

Thus, Ji Ning's clone, still on the spaceship heading to the Initial Universe, entered the Virtual Universe with his consciousness and found Lord Gan Wu, explaining everything to him.

"Haha, you sly kid, you even hid something from me, your teacher. If it weren't for this coincidence, you wouldn't have come to me, would you?" To his surprise, after listening, Lord Gan Wu didn't get angry but teased him instead.

"How could I! I just haven't had the chance to tell you, teacher," Bai Yue replied with a fawning smile, seeing that Lord Gan Wu wasn't angry.

"But if you can leech off the company's resources, that's your ability too!" Thinking of Bai Yue entering the Virtual Universe Company through the Genius Battle and enjoying some of the company's benefits, Lord Gan Wu felt secretly pleased, as if he had gotten a great deal.

"Teacher, is this really okay?" Bai Yue asked worriedly.

"Haha, don't worry! As long as you don't expose yourself, Universe Venerates won't be able to discover it, unless a Universe Master level being controls space-time! But would a Universe Master care about the little bit of wool you're pulling?" Lord Gan Wu replied confidently.

"Alright, I'll tell Thirteen to directly make you a personal disciple, so he doesn't bother you. Haha!"

"As for other rewards, I don't think you lack these trivial things. I heard you made quite a lot doing business with Gan Yang!"

"Thank you, teacher, I don't need other rewards!" Bai Yue secretly curled his lips. This teacher was really stingy!

Seeing his expression, Lord Gan Wu became angry with embarrassment. "Is it easy for me to support such a large Universe Kingdom? You brat, get lost immediately!"

"Okay, then this disciple will take his leave!" Pretending to be terrified, Bai Yue withdrew from the Virtual Universe.

In the living room of Bai Yue's home in the Nine Star Bay Villa District, the atmosphere was extremely awkward. The team of special envoys led by the scaled man Thirteen glared at Bai Yue, who had an embarrassed expression. Luo Feng and the others were bewildered.

Fortunately, this atmosphere came to an abrupt end when Lord Gan Wu sent a communication request to Thirteen. Lord Gan Wu's imposing figure was projected into the hall, his face showing unconcealed amusement.

"Alright, Thirteen, this kid is a descendant of a friend of mine. He has just explained everything to me, and I have accepted him as my personal disciple." After explaining to Thirteen, without paying attention to their shocked faces, he turned to Bai Yue and said, "Kneel and pay your respects, kid."

After speaking, he winked at Bai Yue.

What else could Bai Yue do! He honestly kowtowed nine times to Lord Gan Wu under everyone's gaze.

Amidst Lord Gan Wu's laughter, this matter finally came to a close, but a greater storm was brewing and heading far away.

"Congratulations! Old Bai, you can walk sideways in Gan Wu Universe Kingdom from now on, and Earth will be even safer," Luo Feng said enviously.

"Ultimately, it still comes down to one's own strength. Teacher can't always pay attention to me. So, if the secret of Earth can be kept hidden, don't expose it!" He once again warned the others. The secrets hidden on Earth were far greater than they imagined, and a single Universe Venerate couldn't handle it.

A few days later, explosive news spread like wildfire through the Virtual Universe.

"Heavenly Emperor" Bai Yue was accepted as a personal disciple by Lord Gan Wu!

This was something that hadn't happened in countless epochs of the Universe's peak Genius Battle. Even becoming the number one in the Genius Battle and being taken as a disciple by a King-Seal was rare, let alone by a Universe Venerate.

On the Virtual Universe Network, in the comment section of the Genius Battle, the "Heavenly Emperor" faction completely overwhelmed the "Death God" faction. Bai Yue's fans had finally vented their anger.

No matter what the discussion was about, they had a universal reply.

"Bai Yue was accepted as a personal disciple by Lord Gan Wu."

As soon as they said this, the other party was rendered speechless.

It wasn't just these people who couldn't understand. Even the Universe Venerates who were friendly with Lord Gan Wu were puzzled. When did a mere Star Level kid become worthy of their level of intervention?

No matter how talented someone was, could they be more talented than they were in their youth? Those who became Universe Venerates were all renowned geniuses in their time. Few were taken as disciples by Universe Lords directly at the Star Level. They usually entered the core of the Virtual Universe Company first, then broke through to Universe Level or higher, before being noticed by the high and mighty Universe Lords. And even then, they would initially only be registered disciples, only being promoted to personal disciples through successive assessments.

Some even directly messaged Lord Gan Wu, asking for the reason, but he brushed them off.

And so, amidst doubt and jealousy, time slowly passed. As time went on, coupled with the start of the arena matches, the heat surrounding this matter gradually subsided.

However, the title "Heavenly Emperor" Bai Yue was still remembered by most people, who were waiting to see his future performance and whether he would continue his undefeated myth like before!

"Initiating universe traversal, entering the Primal Universe."

"10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1!"

A year and a half later, after three years of navigation, Ji Ning's clone finally arrived at the Headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company—a continent with a diameter of over ten light-years.

One light-year is more than nine trillion kilometers.

Earth's diameter is only a little over ten thousand kilometers.

"Do such large continents naturally form in the Universe?" While the Universe was mysterious and had many wondrous places, the birth of a continent with a diameter of tens of light-years was still too incredible.

Even though he had read about it in books in his previous life, he still felt it was extremely unbelievable. He leaned more towards it not being naturally formed, but rather a cosmic wonder created by the supreme power of the Virtual Universe Company's higher-ups.

Upon arriving at this continent, he was escorted by staff to a white hall, where he waited for a few days until a group was assembled to enter the Initial Universe.

During these few days, he also learned about the different origins of these people. Some had obtained cultivation spots in the Initial Universe through auctions, while others were members of other core secret realms of the Virtual Universe who applied to cultivate in the Initial Universe... There were various ways to enter, but the common point was that they had all paid a huge price.

After another round of hassle, he finally boarded a strangely shaped spaceship and flew towards the cosmic passage.

"Requesting to open the cosmic passage."

"Verification passed, opening cosmic passage."

"Boom!"

A low sound echoed from outside, and the spaceship continued to advance.

"The time flow rates of the Initial Universe and the Primal Universe are different, which causes the time flow within the passage to be chaotic, making you feel uncomfortable," the person who had just spoken at the cosmic passage said.

"Huh?"

"This feeling is uncomfortable."

As the spaceship flew into the opened cosmic passage, a strange sensation affected Bai Yue's brain, causing him to feel dizzy and nauseous, which was quite peculiar.
