After receiving the resources.

Yang Yu immediately immersed himself in the Nutrient Pod.

Furthermore, it connected its consciousness to the Virtual Universe and sent a call request to Ai Chen.

"Beep beep beep~"

After a series of notification sounds...

Ai Chen's exquisitely beautiful and ethereal face appeared before them.

"Hey, Brother Yu, are you done with your work?"

At this moment, there was a rock wall behind Ai Chen, and yellow sand swirling in front of him, indicating that Ai Chen was currently doing Cultivation Mission.

"Yes, after a period of secluded cultivation, I finally broke through to the World Lord. Xiao Chen, how has your cultivation been going during this time?"

"Wow, Brother Yu, you broke through to the World Lord so quickly! That's fast!" Ai Chen exclaimed in surprise, sitting in his Rock wall cave dwelling. "My cultivation has been going quite smoothly lately. After making progress in my Law Comprehension, I'll choose a few suitable Cultivation Mission to do. I feel like I have a good chance of breaking into the Primal Secret Realm in the next Qualification Battle!"

Ai Chen knew that Yang Yu had returned to Chaos City to cultivate in seclusion, but he did not expect that only a hundred or two hundred years had passed in the Primal Universe and Yang Yu had already broken through to the World Lord.

"Xiao Chen is awesome!"

Having found the direction of the Secret Pattern Diagram, Ai Chen, coupled with his already considerable talent, is now finally shining brightly.

Hehe~

"By the way, Xiao Chen, I've just broken through to the World Lord, and I've received the reward Points from my previous expedition to the Primal Sky Mountain. But I have so many Points that I can't possibly spend them all. Xiao Chen, could you help me spend them?"

"Huh?" Ai Chen's eyes widened adorably. "Brother Yu, your 3.1 billion Points have arrived!"

Due to the secrecy of the Virtual Universe Company, Core Member like Ai Chen, whose permissions are not high enough, are not yet aware that Yang Yu has already passed through the World Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain.

"But Brother Yu, you've broken through to the World Lord, and you're about to undergo a life-or- Life and Death Trial. You should use these Points on yourself. I still have quite a few Points; I haven't even used up the Points I got from the last Cloud Palace Mission."

"Don't worry, Xiao Chen, I've already bought all the resources and treasures I need. There's still a little more left than I can spend. Besides, I'm going to the Outer-Domain Battlefield for Life and Death Trial, so having too many Points on me would be useless. Of course, I'll use them to strengthen the people around me."

Yang Yu smiled and said, his eyes full of doting affection.

"Hehe, is that so? Brother Yu, you can't lie to me, okay?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

"Hmm," Ai Chen's bright and beautiful eyes darted around, "Then I'll help Brother Yu solve this problem. It just so happens that I'm running out of <The Time True Explanation>, and I'll need the third volume soon. Brother Yu, could you help me exchange for the first three volumes?"

"The first three books?" Yang Yu smiled mysteriously. "They've already been redeemed. Xiao Chen, you can check them out."

"So fast?" Ai Chen's beautiful eyes lit up. "Let me see."

Then Ai Chen separated a wisp of his consciousness and logged into the Taichu Manor Yuxiang Mountain.

Really.

A short while later, a team of staff delivered a huge silver briefcase.

Ai Chen stepped forward to sign for it.

Back inside the manor, I opened it and took a look.

Goodness!

The huge silver briefcase was filled with densely packed metal books.

Ai Chen looked and was surprised to find that the entire first six volumes of "The Time True Explanation" were there!

That's a whopping 100 million Points!

Many King-level Immortal feel the pain of losing huge Points!

"Brother Yu."

A mist suddenly filled Ai Chen's beautiful eyes.

Despite the excitement many King-level Immortal would feel upon receiving this treasure, Ai Chen was anything but happy.

Yang Yu spent so many Points on her, so how many did he spend on himself?

"Brother Yu, why did you buy the entire first six volumes?" Ai Chen said softly, her tone a mix of gratitude and grievance.

She didn't want to be a burden to Yang Yu, but she didn't know how to refuse his feelings.

"Xiao Chen, these Points are nothing to me, just accept them," Yang Yu said gently. "There's something I've told you, but don't tell anyone else for now, just keep it as a little secret between us."

"What's wrong?"

"I recently completed the Primal Sky Mountain, a World Lord Level challenge, and received a Points of 103.1 billion points!"

"Wow!!!"

Upon hearing this, Ai Chen's eyes widened adorably, "Brother Yu, you, you, you!"

After a while, Ai Chen finally calmed down. Looking left and right to make sure it was safe, he whispered again:

"Brother Yu is awesome! I'll keep your secret!"

Knowing about the existence of Alien Race assassins targeting human geniuses, Ai Chen naturally understood the gravity of the situation.

"So, Xiao Chen, now you know why I can't use up Points, right?"

"Hehe, I don't even know how to spend so many Points."

Only then did Ai Chen believe what Yang Yu said, and at the same time, she accepted the gift with peace of mind.

"The Secret Technique is just a gift. I'll transfer some Points over. Xiao Chen, use them to buy resources and cultivate your Metal Lifeform to the World Lord Peak as soon as possible, or even to Immortality. That way, I can travel outside with peace of mind."

"Immortal?!" Ai Chen was once again shocked by Yang Yu's wealth and power.

"Haha, Xiao Chen, I know about your Metal Lifeform. The initial cultivation level isn't very good. It takes about 1.4 billion Points to have a 50% success rate in cultivating it to immortality."

As Yang Yu spoke, he transferred another 1.4 billion Points to Ai Chen.

Now that Yang Yu's authority has been upgraded, transferring a huge amount of Points is naturally no problem.

Upon receiving the notification of the Points change, Ai Chen could no longer hide her gratitude and began to sob softly, "Brother Yu, you... you're so good to me, I don't know what to do. Compared to you, I feel like a useless little thing."

"Don't cry, Xiao Chen. You are my most important other half. You can't say such silly things anymore. Besides, I can only venture out into the world with peace of mind if you can cultivate safely. When you become strong, you can help me too."

Yang Yu said gently.

"Um"

Hearing Yang Yu's gentle words, Ai Chen nodded obediently, "Brother Yu ~"

After chatting with Ai Chen about many intimate things between lovers and reminding Ai Chen to be careful while doing Cultivation Mission, Yang Yu ended the call and began to evolve while soaking in the Nutrient Pod, and continued to cultivate in his consciousness.

One year later.

Yang Yu, Original Body and Yuanling Clone had both evolved to the World Lord Peak and Internal World had also grown to its limit, stepped out of the Nutrient Pod.

He gazed intently at the vast grassland shrouded in endless Chaos Qi for a moment, then bowed three times in the direction of the City Lord Mansion.

Then Yang Yu boarded the spaceship City Lord Mansion, which was part of the unified departure from Chaos City.

Half a month later.

Inside F9-class Thunderclap Spaceship in a vast, empty Void.

Yang Yu took out a detector and scanned the surroundings, finding that it was safe for several light-years. He then disappeared from the spot and entered his Original Body 'Internal World.

The layout of this world is also based on the Zhuliuyin Clone, with half land and half sea.

The difference is that it is much smaller now, having reached its limit, with a diameter of just over two million kilometers.

Above the grassland.

With a thought, Yang Yu sent the Moyun Vine out of his body, its countless branches spreading out and covering tens of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, countless giant Moyun Vine swayed in the sky above the Internal World.

"In about six months, Moyun Vine's preparations for breaking through to immortality will be almost complete."

With countless resources and treasures piled up, the Moyun Vine, which has accompanied Yang Yu since the Earth era, is finally about to take the most crucial step.

"Xiao Mo." Yang Yu descended from mid-air.

"Ooh~"

A small vine, several kilometers long and tens of meters thick, flew up and then supported Yang Yu.

Wow~

Immediately, the surrounding branches and vines parted, creating a clearing for Yang Yu.

"Xiao Mo, be good."

Yang Yu stroked the small vine and smiled, "Make way for a radius of two thousand kilometers."

Then countless leaves quickly contracted.

A moment later, the area within two thousand kilometers around Yang Yu became completely empty.

"Alright." Yang Yu flipped his hand, and seven fruits emitting a crystal-clear red light floated in mid-air.

"The first step," Yang Yu said solemnly.

"Xiao Mo, eat them," Yang Yu said.

Boom!

Seven Main Vine suddenly slashed through the sky, swallowing the seven watermelon-sized fruits that shone with a crystal-clear red light.

The moment it was swallowed, the Moyun Vine's entire body began to glow red, turning completely red. Then, all the vines began to writhe and struggle in agony.

"It hurts, it hurts," the Moyun Vine murmured.

"Be good, just bear with it, you'll get through this." Yang Yu flipped his hand, and suddenly a giant metal basin appeared in mid-air, filled with a vibrant green liquid brimming with life energy.

"Keep eating it all," Yang Yu continued.

Time passed.

Next, a massive amount of incredibly valuable items and materials appeared one after another, which were then continuously devoured by the Moyun Vine according to detailed steps.

This process alone lasted two days, and the total amount of materials used was roughly equivalent to half the volume of the Moyun Vine.

This gives an idea of the sheer amount of materials and resources required, considering that over a billion Points represent a huge fortune.

"The final step is to eat all eighteen ingredients at once!" Yang Yu's eyes were filled with anticipation.

One after another, seemingly ordinary Main Vine, exuding a terrifying aura, frantically coiled around the materials, devouring them completely in the blink of an eye.

"Xiao Mo!" Yang Yu calmly looked at the surrounding Moyun Vine.

"Now it's up to you. Will you rise to immortality in one step, or will everything go down the drain? It all comes down to this one gamble."

The Moyun Vine, which had just finished devouring the creature, was calm, but then a crackling sound rang out.

Within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers, all the vines of the Moyun Vine instantly emitted various colored lights, creating a mesmerizing and enchanting spectacle.

At the same time, countless vines began to break apart, and countless fragments detached from the body of the Moyun Vine, while the Main Vine quickly recovered thanks to its powerful regenerative ability.

Split!

Regeneration!

The old divisions disappeared.

New ones are generated.

The entire Moyun Vine undergoes a complete transformation almost every few seconds, evolving entirely from the inside out.

With each evolution, aided by countless precious materials, the efficiency of this evolution is astonishingly fast.

Time continued to pass. Standing high in the sky, Yang Yu looked down at the twisting, struggling, and constantly splitting and regenerating stronger bodies from the Moyun Vine, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Hold on, you must hold on. Once it breaks and stops, this breakthrough will have failed."

A full hour later, Moyun Vine, whose body changed almost every few seconds, finally ushered in the most important moment.

Suddenly.

"Buzz!"

A special energy that had been dormant within the now entirely purple Moyun Vine suddenly erupted!

An incredibly violent burst of energy erupted instantly!

The dazzling purple Moyun Vine, which had been in an excited state, suddenly erupted with special energy from the depths of every section of its Main Vine branches and leaves.

Wait until the energy subsides.

The purple Moyun Vine was instantly frozen, and a layer of ice crystals condensed directly on the surface of the Main Vine branches and leaves.

The Moyun Vine, resembling a giant ice sculpture, remained motionless, withered and lifeless, as if it were dead.

Only a very weak energy fluctuation was faintly emanating from it, indicating that the Moyun Vine was still undergoing some very subtle changes.

"Call!"

At this moment, Yang Yu felt a terrifying chill, as if the surrounding space had solidified. He whispered, "It's so cold. I wonder how this Moyun Vine evolution program was researched and perfected. The various steps alone are so complicated. It must have been perfected by a powerful pharmacist in history, or by pharmacists throughout the ages. But fortunately, the effect seems to be quite good."

This evolutionary process looks a lot like the methods of a pharmacist.

This is the best evolution plan that Yang Yu can obtain with his current privileges.

"There's only one day left."

Yang Yu looked at the enormous ice sculptures of the Moyun Vine around him, "Whether it can survive to the very last moment and successfully evolve into an immortal, or fail and have to start all over again, it all depends on this final day."

This period of ice age should be considered the most dangerous step in the entire evolutionary process.

Time passed second by second, and every second the Moyun Vine underwent extremely subtle changes, causing Yang Yu's Human Original Body to watch with bated breath, fearing that the Moyun Vine might suddenly collapse.

"Hold on."

"You must hold on!"

Yang Yu murmured to himself, showing concern for this companion who had always been by his side.

Every second felt incredibly long, as if a hundred or a thousand years had passed.

Finally.

After being frozen for a day, undergoing subtle changes, the Moyun Vine, having finally reached its limit, instantly melted away all the cold crystals on its surface.

At the same time, the entire Moyun Vine shot wildly into the sky, with its 224 Main Vine and countless branch vines spreading wildly in all directions.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a soul-stirring tremor arose.

"The final moment! Now! Whether we can connect to the Cosmic Origin depends on this final moment!"

Yang Yu stared intently from a distance in mid-air, his fists clenched tightly.

At this moment, Moyun Vine had reached the final step of its breakthrough.

"Buzz~"

An invisible pressure descended.

Yang Yu, who was originally in the air some distance away, was forced down to the plain below by this oppressive force and fell to the ground.

"The pressure of the Cosmic Origin!" Yang Yu lit up with joy. "Success!"

Consciousness connects to the Cosmic Origin Land!

The Origin Law has arrived!

This moment!

The Moyun Vine has broken free from the Life Shackles!

From that moment on, he became immortal!

"Rumble~~~"

Endless Immortal Divine Power, containing the Wood Origin Law, continuously surged into the body of the purple Moyun Vine, which began to frantically absorb this Immortal Divine Power.

This is the only chance after breaking through to immortality, an opportunity to receive unlimited energy from the Cosmic Origin Land.

The World Power of the Moyun Vine itself, after merging with the complete laws, was also completely transformed into the Immortal Divine Power of the wood element.

Energy Transformation!

Physical transformation!

A transformation of the soul!

The Life Imprint of the Moyun Vine began to rapidly merge into every ounce of Immortal Divine Power.

From then on, these Immortal Divine Power were no longer 'ownerless Immortal Divine Power '; they all bore the Life Imprint of the Moyun Vine. Even if the body shattered, the Immortal Divine Power that disintegrated belonged to the Moyun Vine and could be completely reassembled.

"The Life Imprint is integrated into every bit of divine power, into every cell of the Divine Body; even the slightest fragment is enough to revive."

"This is Undying Body!"

Yang Yu murmured softly in the distance, his eyes filled with excitement.
