"Enmm, this thing can really be deadly!" Wang Cheng sighed inwardly. However, after thinking for a moment, he decided to use the Universe Chaos Tablet.

Since he had already obtained it, he couldn't return it, so he naturally wouldn't let it sit idle.

Wang Cheng certainly didn't dare to take out the Universe Chaos Tablet, but his consciousness could enter the special space of the Opportunity Grasping System, allowing him to use it directly inside!

"I just don't know if my clone's consciousness can enter this special space!" Wang Cheng hadn't actually tested this before, so he directly controlled several clones within the World Ring to try it out.

"It can't?" Wang Cheng was a little disappointed, but he didn't think too much about it. If it couldn't, it couldn't. At worst, his main body would comprehend it.

Anyway, comprehending the Universe Chaos Tablet all the time was useless. Comprehending it periodically was the best approach!

"I wonder if my clones can use the Opportunity Grasping System?" Wang Cheng suddenly thought of this again, so he created another clone.

Although Wang Cheng had used up most of his Opportunity Points in the previous three consecutive grasps, he actually still had 2 Opportunity Points remaining.

That was enough for an experiment!

A moment later--

Wang Cheng spent one Opportunity Point, and at the same time, a milky white object, resembling a grain of rice, appeared in the space connected to his main body's consciousness.

"It actually succeeded this time!" Wang Cheng was a little surprised.

This time, his main body didn't act; the Opportunity Grasp was completed entirely through the clone. This meant that clones could indeed perform Opportunity Grasping!

This matter was absolutely significant. After all, Opportunity Grasping had a range. Wang Cheng was currently on Earth and had no way to travel far from Earth, so there was no difference between his clone grasping opportunities and his main body grasping them.

But in the future, when he left Earth, for places with many opportunities but also considerable danger, he could let his clones enter.

After the clone entered, it only needed to spend a small amount of Opportunity Points to grasp all opportunities within a certain range. Wasn't that perfect?

Thinking this, Wang Cheng's main body directly moved his mind, and a rather large grain of rice appeared in his hand.

Although this opportunity was grasped by the clone, it still appeared in the space connected to the main body's consciousness. As for the treasure grasped this time, there was no doubt it was a Wood Essence Crystal.

Wood Essence Crystals contained very pure energy. Evolving by absorbing Wood Essence Crystals was much better than absorbing cosmic energy. Currently, there was only one place on Earth where Wood Essence Crystals existed: in the spaceship left by Hu Yanbo.

This Wood Essence Crystal was undoubtedly also grasped by Wang Cheng from there.

However, Wang Cheng wasn't interested in this Wood Essence Crystal. The energy contained in one Wood Essence Crystal was too little for him. If he could get a hundred thousand or eighty thousand, he might be slightly happy.

Without further thought, Wang Cheng had the clone he just created keep watch outside, while he himself returned directly to his room.

Wang Cheng sat cross-legged on the ground, and his consciousness entered the space that came with the Opportunity Grasping System.

"Let me see what's so magical about this 'Universe Chaos Tablet'!" Wang Cheng thought, then he focused his gaze on the massive Chaos Tablet.

The entire Chaos Tablet had a total of seven diagrams, each composed of a purple and a blue fine line.

The first diagram had only two lines, one purple and one blue, representing two different essences.

"Whoosh, time!"

Wang Cheng stared at the purple line, and for a moment, countless insights into time from the past flooded his mind.

Immersed in that special state, time seemed to fly by, and a full three days passed.

At this moment, Wang Cheng suddenly woke up from that peculiar state.

"My comprehension of time seems to be much deeper than I imagined!" Wang Cheng mused. In three days, Wang Cheng had comprehended the purple line of the first diagram on the Universe Chaos Tablet from beginning to end, and it was all very easy.

This indicated that Wang Cheng's achievements in time had surpassed the Time Law represented by this first diagram.

However, when Wang Cheng was about to continue comprehending the second diagram, he was abruptly pushed out by an uncomfortable feeling.

This was not because Wang Cheng's comprehension of time was insufficient. In fact, his comprehension of time was definitely enough, as he had found it very easy when comprehending the first purple line, and he still had plenty of energy left.

Wang Cheng naturally knew the reason for this!

The "Universe Chaos Tablet" was, in essence, a Chaos Tablet for studying both time and space simultaneously.

Although time and space within this Chaos Tablet were not fused, they were combined in a special way. Under these circumstances, only by comprehending both the laws of time and space together could one better understand this Chaos Tablet.

The first diagram was still manageable, as time and space were clearly distinct. But starting from the second diagram, there were areas where the two laws began to combine.

If one only excelled in time but not in space, they naturally couldn't continue comprehending.

"It seems I need to comprehend space as well!" Wang Cheng made up his mind. He had obtained the Opportunity Grasping System; if he didn't even dare to dream of becoming a Cosmic Lord, he would be too useless.

To become a Cosmic Lord, one either had to master both the laws of time and space simultaneously or research the Fusion Law.

Wang Cheng had previously discovered that his talent was well-rounded. Since he had now obtained the "Universe Chaos Tablet," it was only natural for him to choose the path of studying time and space.

"However, I don't have any Secret Manuals for the Space Law. Although this Universe Chaos Tablet is magical, it mostly serves as an inspiration!" Wang Cheng frowned slightly.

In this situation, one of Wang Cheng's options was to continue waiting. When he accumulated enough Opportunity Points, he could draw again, and perhaps he would obtain Secret Manuals containing space.

"But this relies too much on luck. With my poor luck, it wouldn't be strange if I couldn't draw a Secret Manual in ten or eight years!" Wang Cheng shook his head slightly. This choice was made out of desperation and was too passive, completely unreliable!

"I remember that Hu Yanbo's inheritance should contain Secret Manuals of the space type. Although they are for Mental Masters, like 'Ten Thousand Lines Flow' and 'Control Space,' it wouldn't hurt to use them for reference." Wang Cheng thought, and soon he decided that he needed to find a way to help Luo Feng obtain Hu Yanbo's inheritance as soon as possible.

Although with Wang Cheng's current talent, if he took a trip to Australia, he might immediately obtain those inheritances, it was unnecessary.

Firstly, Hu Yanbo's inheritance was just average. Both the Detector Wang Cheng had just drawn and the Universe Chaos Tablet were far more valuable than Hu Yanbo's inheritance!

Secondly, Wang Cheng had a decent relationship with Luo Feng. It would be too despicable to use his foreknowledge to snatch Luo Feng's opportunities. Wang Cheng wasn't that unscrupulous!

Therefore, the best way to handle this was to let Luo Feng obtain Hu Yanbo's inheritance as soon as possible, and then Wang Cheng would obtain "Ten Thousand Lines Flow" and "Control Space" from Luo Feng!

"This matter can be planned properly, it shouldn't be difficult!" Wang Cheng shook his head. He originally planned to let Luo Feng grow naturally, but since he needed it now, he would intervene a little. The problem shouldn't be big!

And with his strength, plus foreknowledge, it is entirely possible to let Luo Feng obtain Hu Yanbo's inheritance in advance!

"Luo Feng's matter can wait until tomorrow. This way, only..." Wang Cheng pondered for a moment, then, with a thought, a silver-white armguard appeared in his hand in an instant.

This armguard is naturally another treasure Wang Cheng obtained from this Opportunity Draw, the SDU01--000001 detector.

Although this thing is also precious, it is far from comparable to the "Universe Chaos Tablet". Moreover, for a treasure worth 50 billion Hunyuan Units, humans cannot search the entire universe, so Wang Cheng took it out and used it with confidence.

And the moment Wang Cheng put the detector on his arm, a crisp voice sounded in his mind at the same time.

"Welcome to use SDU01--000001 detector, Auxiliary intelligence number one is at your service!"

"Number One?" Wang Cheng was slightly surprised. He didn't expect this armguard to have an intelligence.

Fortunately, this intelligence seems to be just an advanced intelligence, not an intelligent life. If it were an intelligent life, it might be really troublesome!

Wang Cheng communicated with the intelligence named Number One using his consciousness for a while, and soon he learned about many functions of this armguard!

After all, it is a high-end product worth 50 billion Hunyuan Units. Besides the most basic detection functions, this armguard also has many additional functions, such as illusion and invisibility.

These functions may be average for those powerful King level Immortals, but for Wang Cheng now, they are quite practical functions. After all, in the end, Wang Cheng is only a Stellar level now!

"Number One, first search for all information about me on this planet!" Wang Cheng commanded.

"Yes!"

The crisp voice sounded in Wang Cheng's mind, and the next second, a string of information appeared in Wang Cheng's mind.

"Hmm? They already suspect I'm an alien?" Wang Cheng read the information, and a hint of interest appeared on his face.

His two previous actions had actually been judged by people as an alien visitor coming to Earth. Now, even Hong and Thor are in Jiangnan Base City, or rather, they have been in Jiangnan Base City for two months!

Of course, besides Hong and Thor, other forces and organizations are also investigating Wang Cheng's affairs.

For example, Huaxia Official and HR Alliance!

In fact, these countries and organizations on Earth have even secretly formulated plans on how to deal with Wang Cheng if he goes mad.

Although these plans seem very ridiculous, and the success rate is absolutely zero in Wang Cheng's opinion, they have indeed formulated these plans!

Of course, no one is stupid. The plans they formulated are all on paper, and even encrypted with special symbols. Generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Cheng to know.

But unfortunately, the detector Wang Cheng is using now is too powerful. The value of 50 billion Hunyuan Units is not for nothing. Even if these things are completely disconnected from the outside world, they are still easily searched out by this detector.

"Too powerful. With this thing, I can easily know the color of anyone's underwear on Earth. No matter what secret it is, unless he only keeps it in his mind, it will absolutely not escape my detection!" Wang Cheng sighed. This is completely a dimensional strike, and it's a strike across several dimensions.

"Number One, scan for the highest-level spaceship on this planet!" Wang Cheng issued another order.

"On this planet, the highest-level spaceship is an F-class spaceship located 15,000 meters underground in a place called Australia by the local residents. Its current damage rate is 30%!" The crisp voice immediately sounded in Wang Cheng's mind.

"Then check again."

For half an hour, Wang Cheng asked all sorts of questions, most of which were strange and tricky. But no matter what kind of question it was, the detector could perfectly search it out. Its practicality is simply superb.

"You get what you pay for, it doesn't lie to me!" A smile appeared on Wang Cheng's face, but suddenly, as if he thought of something, the smile on his face instantly faded slightly, and at the same time, a hint of hesitation appeared in Wang Cheng's heart.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Cheng didn't know what his mentality was. He commanded again: "Number One, check all substances on this planet, is there any material whose hardness exceeds G-class metal!"

"Yes!"

Number One agreed again, but this time, his checking speed slowed down considerably.
