"The Initial Universe?"

"Have we arrived in the Initial Universe?"

Geniuses from many Universe Country were filled with curiosity.

The other dozen or so immortal beings who came with them were also filled with anticipation, looking up from time to time.

"The top is open," said the Nine Swords Venerable.

Sizzle~~

The metal roof above the hall automatically separated, revealing the outermost layer, which resembled transparent glass.

Suddenly, the space above the hall became transparent, allowing everyone to look up and see the outside world through the transparent layer.

Luo Feng and the other two looked up and immediately saw that the sky outside was dark.

Occasionally, some Chaos Qi drifted in the air.

"So this is the Initial Universe!"

In the distance, one could faintly see the heavens and earth cracking open from time to time, and even see a large number of strange and mysterious patterns flowing at the edges of the cracked space. Threads of silk were connected, and the patterns on the threads were floating, just like a loom, weaving the heavens and earth to become larger and larger.

"This is?"

"Are the Gold Origin Law and Space Origin Law externally?"

Luo Feng sensed strange, mysterious patterns flowing along the crystalline threads at the spatial rift in the distance.

Hong and Dong Nanbiao were also engrossed in observing the secret patterns of the silk threads in the sky.

Other geniuses, including Ai Chen, Boluo, and Rong Jun, were also intently watching the sky.

The dozen or so immortal beings looked up and stared, sometimes closing their eyes in thought, sometimes observing carefully.

The spaceship continued its flight.

I often see Space Rift, and I see strange, thread-like patterns appearing.

Along the way, the Nine Swords Venerable also gave a rare explanation to the group of geniuses about the special and wondrous nature of the Initial Universe, and finally encouraged everyone before arriving at Chaos City.

A Black Streamer flew in from afar.

"Gentlemen, I am the reception envoy from Chaos City."

A deep voice sounded, and a black-robed man with blue scales covering his head flew over, then stopped and smiled.

"This city is called Chaos City, and it has existed for longer than most of the Universe Country you inhabit! It is currently jointly managed by Virtual Universe Company, Great Axe Coliseum, Universe First Bank, Galaxy Bank, and Universe Mercenary Alliance."

Quiet.

All 1,000 young people were watching the messenger from Chaos City.

"Follow me, all of you." The welcoming messenger smiled and flew downwards.

1,000 people flew down from the sky and landed on the streets of Chaos City. The streets of Chaos City were wide enough for dozens of people to walk side by side.

"The Chaos City has existed for a very long time." The welcoming envoy walked ahead, explaining as he went, "Many extraordinary beings have been born from those who have come to the Chaos City to seek enlightenment."

"Um?"

Ai Chen, Luo Feng, and the other two suddenly looked in a certain direction.

There stood a handsome figure, smiling, with a profound and distant aura, dressed in Purple Battle Suit.

It was Yang Yu, who had been waiting here all along!

"Greetings, Your Highness Yang Yu!" The envoy, following the gazes of the four, immediately bowed respectfully.

"Um."

Yang Yu smiled and waved his hand, "I'm just chatting with a few friends, it won't take much time."

"There are even His Your Highness's friends here!" the receptionist exclaimed in surprise. "It's alright, it's alright. His Your Highness can chat with them a little longer; we're not in a hurry."

"No need, you have other things to do too. I'll just say a few words." Yang Yu said as he walked over to Luo Feng, the other two, and Ai Chen.

"After all these years, we've finally met in real life," Yang Yu said, looking at Ai Chen and the others.

"Hmm~" Ai Chen's beautiful eyes were full of surprise, her big eyes staring unblinkingly at Yang Yu.

"Haha, I finally met Brother Yu in real life! He's even more handsome than in the Virtual Universe!" Luo Feng was overjoyed. "No wonder Sister Ai Chen has been so fond of Brother Yu, hehe."

"You little brat, you want a beating?" Ai Chen finally shifted her honeyed gaze from Yang Yu and said shyly.

"We meet again in reality." Babata then materialized into a physical form.

"Yes, it's been a long time since we last met," Yang Yu said with a smile to Babata. "Brother Hong, Nanbiao, it's been a long time since we last met either."

"Yes, it's been so many years since Xiao Yu joined the Virtual Universe Company ahead of schedule," Hong said with emotion.

While Yang Yu and Luo Feng were catching up, the other geniuses in the group were whispering among themselves.

"Who is that guy in the Purple Battle Suit? The receptionist was being so polite to him!" Rong Jun asked Wuka curiously.

"His name seems to be Yang Yu, a truly remarkable genius! My father said he's an even more monstrous genius than Boluo!" Wuka said with gleaming eyes and a fanatical expression.

"I just don't know why he's so familiar with Luo Feng and the others. His information is absolutely confidential within the Virtual Universe Company; even those below the Venerable don't have the authority to access it!"

"I only learned some basic information because when our king summoned me before I came here, he mentioned that I should try to find an opportunity to befriend this Peerless Genius Yang Yu."

"He's even more talented than Boluo!" Rong Jun's eyes narrowed slightly. "He seems quite familiar with Ai Chen and Luo Feng. I'll have to find out who he really is when I get the chance."

"Yes, we must find an opportunity to get to know and befriend a genius so highly regarded by our Ancestor," Wuka said.

"That's settled then. I'll come pick you up after you've chosen your Chaos Monument," Yang Yu said with a smile.

"Okay, Brother Yu, we'll wait for you," Luo Feng said.

"Hmm~ You'll pick me up and take me to the Cultivation Residence you've prepared for me," Ai Chen said, blinking her beautiful big eyes.

"No problem, you can go in first. It wouldn't be good to take up too much of everyone's time." Yang Yu waved his hand. "Thank you for your trouble, Your Excellency."

Yang Yu then spoke to the envoy dressed in black robes.

"No trouble at all," the envoy quickly waved his hand, then led the thousand geniuses into a nearby uninhabited small building.

Yang Yu also turned and flew towards his Cultivation Residence in the distance.

"There are many small buildings in Chaos City. The doors are pale white, which means that the place is unowned." The receptionist pointed to the gate and then explained to everyone how to claim ownership of Cultivation Residence.

Then he led everyone up to the rooftop to see some of the insights and carvings left behind by the powerful people who had lived there before.

Finally, he solemnly told everyone a very important rule!

That is, in the Initial Universe, killing each other is forbidden; whoever does so will surely die!

Even the ruler of the Universe Country cannot defy this rule!

"Clear."

The group of young people all nodded.

"The time ratio between the Initial Universe and the Original Universe is 1:3.28," the black-robed messenger said with a smile. "Your time for this comprehension has been a little over 30 years."

Time is precious, don't waste it.

The Black-Robed Envoy then led the group down the wide street.

"Follow me, we're going to the City Lord Mansion now," the Black-Robed Envoy said. "That's where the City Lord resides, and it's the core of the entire Chaos City."

"City Lord?"

Luo Feng and the other two exchanged glances, knowing in their hearts that this was the legendary Chaos City Lord.

The current head of Virtual Universe Company!

He has intricate connections with Yang Yu, the pioneer of Earth!

Based on the respectful behavior shown by the envoys towards Yang Yu, Luo Feng and his group realized that Yang Yu's actual status was probably much higher than they had imagined.

Upon arriving at the City Lord Mansion, the welcoming envoy once again introduced the "Three Treasures" of Chaos City to everyone.

Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Then he led everyone to choose the Chaos Monument that suited them best.

Just like in the Original Work, Luo Feng chose the <Jiu Yu Chaos Monument>, which is based on the Space Law.

Ai Chen chose the Time Chaos Monument, which focuses on time.

Hong chose the <Light Shadow Chaos Monument>, which prioritizes time and uses Light Law as a secondary element.

Dong Nanbiao chose the Yanshan Chaos Monument, which combines 'earth' and 'space'.

Other figures such as Rong Jun, Wuka, and Boluo chose the same Chaos Monument as in the Original Work.

After the Black-Robed Envoy finished recording at the Corridor End, he turned around and smiled, saying, "I have sent out your choices. Follow me."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng and the others quickly followed the Black-Robed Envoy out of the corridor and continued deeper. After a short while, they arrived at an empty training ground in the City Lord Mansion.

The training ground was very spacious, spanning tens of kilometers in length and width.

In the empty training ground.

A thousand people gathered together, and the Black-Robed Envoy stood in front of them.

"There are currently 52 Chaos Tablets meditation chambers. Twelve of these chambers are occupied, while the other forty are empty." The Black-Robed Envoy looked at the group before him. "Now, I will announce the names of these forty Chaos Monument..."

"<Yanshan Chaos Monument>, <Heart Scar Chaos Monument>, <Universe Chaos Monument>..."

The Black-Robed Envoy quickly recited the names of forty Chaos Monument in one breath.

"Those who choose these 40 Chaos Monument, go directly to the leftmost entrance ahead. You will be assigned to each of the secret chambers."

The black-robed messenger pointed to the distance, to the left at the far end of the training ground, where there was an entrance nearly thirty meters high. "Now you may go there."

Instantly, at least eight hundred of the thousand young people transformed into streaks of Liuguang and left, leaving only a little over one hundred young people on the training ground.

"You 139 people, please wait a moment," the Black-Robed Envoy said. "The Chaos Monument you chose is currently being studied by someone. When someone is studying it, it is strictly forbidden to open the secret chamber and disturb them. So you must wait until they finish studying before you can enter."

"Alright, you can go up to the City Lord Mansion's mansion tower first." The Black-Robed Envoy pointed ahead, "It's over there. You can cultivate there first. I'll let you know when it's your turn."

Luo Feng, Savage Rong Jun, and 139 other young men and women could only go to the City Lord Mansion tower.

Ai Chen, Hong, and Dong Nanbiao are all quite lucky; they can comprehend it now.

On the city tower of the City Lord Mansion.

Luo Feng and his group of over a hundred people stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance, occasionally exchanging pleasantries.

It's too big.

The entire Chaos City is extremely large. As for the distant Chaos City, they are all Chaos and indistinct, making them impossible to see clearly.

The main reason is that there was a large amount of Chaos Qi in the Initial Universe, which made it impossible to see too far into the distance.

Even detectors become completely ineffective here; one can only observe the outside world through Soul Power and the naked eye.
