The Universe Chaos Tablet

"Enmm, this thing really can be deadly!" Wang Cheng silently lamented. But after thinking it over for a moment, he still decided to make use of the Chaos Tablet.

He had already grasped it, and there was no way to send it back. Naturally, he couldn't just leave it unused.

Wang Cheng certainly didn't dare take the Chaos Tablet out, but his consciousness could enter the special space that came with the Opportunity Grasping System. He could simply use it in there!

I wonder if my Clone's consciousness can enter that special space! Wang Cheng had never tried it, so he immediately controlled several Clones inside the World Ring and put them to the test.

It can't? Wang Cheng was a little disappointed, but he didn't dwell on it. If it couldn't, then it couldn't. At worst, his Main Body could study it.

After all, there was no point in studying the Universe Chaos Tablet continuously. The best approach was to study it once in a while!

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

Although Wang Cheng had used up most of his Opportunity Points on three consecutive grasps, he still had two Opportunity Points left.

That was enough for an experiment!

A moment later—

Wang Cheng spent one Opportunity Point. At the same time, a milky-white object, resembling a grain of rice, appeared in the space linked to his Main Body's consciousness.

This time it actually worked! Wang Cheng was a little surprised.

His Main Body hadn't done anything during this Opportunity Grasping attempt; the entire process had been carried out by his Clone. In other words, Clones could grasp opportunities!

This was undoubtedly significant. Opportunity Grasping had a limited range, and Wang Cheng was on Earth now, with no way to travel very far from the planet. So whether his Clone or his Main Body grasped opportunities made no difference.

But once he left Earth, he could send a Clone into places rich in opportunities but also quite dangerous.

After the Clone entered, it would only need to spend a small number of Opportunity Points to grasp all the opportunities within a certain range. Wouldn't that be perfect?

As he thought about it, Wang Cheng's Main Body simply willed a fairly large grain of rice into existence in his hand.

Although the opportunity had been grasped by his Clone, it had still appeared in the space linked to his Main Body's consciousness. As for the treasure he'd grasped this time, there was no doubt about it: it was a Wood Essence Crystal.

Wood Essence Crystals contained extremely pure energy. Evolving by absorbing one was far better than evolving by absorbing cosmic energy. There was only one place on Earth where Wood Essence Crystals could be found: inside the spaceship Hu Yanbo had left behind.

There was no doubt that Wang Cheng had grasped this Wood Essence Crystal from there.

However, Wang Cheng didn't care much about it. The energy in a single Wood Essence Crystal was far too little for him. If he had eighty or a hundred thousand of them, he might have been a little happy.

Without giving it another thought, Wang Cheng left the Clone he had just created outside to keep watch, while he returned to his own room.

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

Let's see what's so miraculous about this Universe Chaos Tablet! Wang Cheng thought. Then he focused his attention on the enormous Chaos Tablet.

The Chaos Tablet had seven diagrams in total, each made up of two kinds of fine lines, one purple and one blue.

The first diagram had only two lines, one purple and one blue, each representing a different quality.

Mm, time!

Wang Cheng stared at the purple line. In an instant, countless insights about time surged into his mind.

Immersed in that peculiar state, three whole days passed in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, Wang Cheng suddenly awoke from the strange state.

My understanding of time is deeper than I imagined! Wang Cheng thought. In those three days, he had studied the purple line in the first diagram of the Universe Chaos Tablet from beginning to end, and the whole process had been easy.

That meant Wang Cheng's attainments in time had already surpassed the level represented by the first diagram's Time Law.

However, when Wang Cheng tried to continue with the second diagram, an uncomfortable sensation forced him out of the state.

It wasn't that Wang Cheng's understanding of time was insufficient. In fact, he had more than enough insight into time. When he studied the first purple line from beginning to end, it had all been effortless, and he still had plenty of energy to spare.

Wang Cheng naturally knew why this had happened!

The Universe Chaos Tablet was, in essence, a Chaos Tablet for studying Time and Space together.

Although time and space in this Chaos Tablet weren't fused, they were combined in a special way. Under those circumstances, only by studying both laws together could one better comprehend the tablet.

The first diagram was still fine: time and space were clearly distinct. But starting with the second diagram, the two laws began to intersect.

If he was skilled in time but not in space, of course he couldn't continue studying it.

Looks like I'll have to study space too! Wang Cheng had made up his mind. He had obtained the Opportunity Grasping System; if he didn't even dare dream of becoming a Cosmic Lord, he'd be utterly useless.

To become a Cosmic Lord, one had to either master both the Two Great Laws of Time and Space or study the Fusion Law.

Wang Cheng had already discovered that his talent wasn't skewed toward one area. Now that he had obtained the Universe Chaos Tablet, choosing to pursue the path of studying time and space was only natural.

But I don't have any Space-type Secret Manuals. The Universe Chaos Tablet is miraculous, but it mainly serves to inspire! Wang Cheng furrowed his brow.

In his current situation, one option was to keep waiting until he had accumulated enough Opportunity Points, then draw again. Perhaps he would get a secret manual containing space-related knowledge.

But that would depend too much on luck. If my luck was bad, it wouldn't be strange if I went ten years or more without drawing a secret manual! Wang Cheng shook his head slightly. That was a last resort, far too passive and completely unreliable!

I remember Hu Yanbo's inheritance should include Space-type Secret Manuals. Although Ten Thousand Lines Flow and Control Space are meant for Mental Masters, there's no harm in using them as references. Wang Cheng quickly decided that he had to find a way to help Luo Feng obtain Hu Yanbo's inheritance as soon as possible.

Given Wang Cheng's talent, he could probably get the inheritance himself by making a trip to Australia. But there was no need.

For one thing, Hu Yanbo's inheritance was only so-so. The detector he had just drawn and the Universe Chaos Tablet were both far more valuable!

Besides, Wang Cheng and Luo Feng had a decent relationship. Taking advantage of his foreknowledge to steal Luo Feng's opportunity would be downright despicable. Wang Cheng wasn't that shameless!

So the best way to handle this was to help Luo Feng obtain Hu Yanbo's inheritance as soon as possible, then get Ten Thousand Lines Flow and Control Space from him!

I'll plan this out carefully. It shouldn't be difficult! Wang Cheng shook his head. He had originally intended to let Luo Feng grow at his own pace, but since he needed something now, intervening a little shouldn't be a problem!

With his strength and foreknowledge, it was entirely possible for him to help Luo Feng obtain Hu Yanbo's inheritance early!

I'll deal with Luo Feng tomorrow. That leaves only... Wang Cheng thought for a moment, then willed something into existence. In an instant, a silver-white armguard appeared in his hand.

This armguard was, of course, the other treasure he'd obtained through Opportunity Draw: the SDU01--000001 detector.

Although this thing was also precious, it couldn't compare to the Universe Chaos Tablet. And humanity wasn't going to search the entire universe for a treasure worth 50 billion Hunyuan Units, so Wang Cheng could use it openly without worry.

The moment Wang Cheng put the detector on his arm, a clear voice rang out in his mind.

"Welcome to the SDU01--000001 detector. Auxiliary intelligence Number One at your service!"

Number One? Wang Cheng was slightly startled. He hadn't expected the armguard to come with an Intelligent System.

Fortunately, it seemed to be only an advanced Intelligent System, not Intelligent life. If it had been Intelligent life, it might have caused some trouble!

Wang Cheng communicated with the Intelligent System called Number One for a while, and soon learned about many of the armguard's functions!

After all, it was a high-end piece of equipment worth 50 billion Hunyuan Units. Besides its basic detection functions, the armguard also had plenty of additional features, such as disguises and invisibility.

Those functions might have been nothing special to powerful King level Immortals, but they were extremely useful to Wang Cheng right now. After all, he was only at the Stellar level!

"Number One, first search this planet for every bit of information about me!" Wang Cheng ordered.

"Yes!"

Number One's clear voice rang in Wang Cheng's mind. The next second, a stream of information appeared in his consciousness.

Hm? They already suspect I'm an Alien Visitor? As Wang Cheng read the information, a hint of interest appeared on his face.

His two previous appearances had already led people to conclude that an Alien Visitor had arrived on Earth. By now, Hong and Thor were in Jiangnan Base City—or rather, they had already been there for two months!

Of course, besides Hong and Thor, other forces and organizations were also investigating Wang Cheng.

For example, the Huaxia Official and the HR Alliance!

In fact, Earth's countries and organizations had even secretly drawn up plans for dealing with him in case Wang Cheng went on a rampage.

Those plans seemed utterly ridiculous, and Wang Cheng was certain they had zero chance of success. Still, they had drawn them up!

Of course, nobody was foolish enough to keep those plans where anyone could find them. They were written on paper and even encoded with special symbols. Normally, there was no way Wang Cheng could learn about them.

Unfortunately, the detector Wang Cheng was using was simply too powerful. Its value of 50 billion Hunyuan Units wasn't for show. Even though those documents had been completely cut off from outside communication, the detector still found them with ease.

This is incredible. With this thing, I can easily find out the color of anyone's underwear on Earth. No matter what their secret is, unless they keep it only in their own head, there's no way it can escape my detection! Wang Cheng marveled. This was a crushing advantage, and by several orders of magnitude.

"Number One, find the highest-grade spaceship on this planet!" Wang Cheng gave another order.

"The highest-grade spaceship on this planet is an F-class spaceship located fifteen thousand meters beneath the area the local inhabitants call Australia. It is currently thirty percent damaged." Number One's clear voice immediately rang out in Wang Cheng's mind.

"Then check..."

For the next half hour, Wang Cheng asked all kinds of questions, most of them strange and extremely specific. No matter what he asked, the detector came up with a perfect answer. Its usefulness was truly remarkable.

"You get what you pay for. That saying never lies!" A smile appeared on Wang Cheng's face. But suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his smile faded slightly, and a trace of hesitation appeared in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Cheng didn't know what had come over him, but he gave another order: "Number One, scan all the matter on this planet and check whether any material has a hardness exceeding G-class metal."

"Yes!"

Number One answered again, but this time its search slowed considerably.
