The Time Lord
Inside the Giant Axe Temple, all the Universe Master looked on with anticipation.
But at that moment, the Lord of Void Gold suddenly spoke up, saying, "Although Yang Wu has broken through, his current strength is not very strong."
"Moreover, given his talent and cultivation speed, the other Three Great Peak Races probably won't let this go easily; they might even try to kill Yang Wu!"
"Right!"
"Xu Jin is right, we must take this matter seriously."
The other Universe Master nodded in agreement.
If Yang Wu's breakthrough hadn't been discovered by the Alien Race, his identity could have been completely concealed, and he wouldn't have faced any danger.
But now that the Lord of Sky Wolf of the Monster Race has discovered it, the Monster Race will surely spread this news throughout the universe.
With Yang Wu's cultivation speed so rapid, how could those Alien Race not be wary? Who would dare allow Yang Wu to continue growing stronger?
"There's no need to worry about that!"
The Lord of Longxing, seated to the left of the Chaos City Leader, calmly stated, "In terms of survival skills, Yang Wu has probably surpassed most of us. Moreover, Yang Wu also briefly clashed with the Lord of Sky Wolf before, and did not suffer a defeat!"
"Able to contend with the Lord of Sky Wolf?"
Upon hearing this, the other Universe Master all showed expressions of surprise and doubt, and all turned their gazes toward Yang Wu.
Although the Lord of Sky Wolf's strength is not among the top of the Four Peak Races, it is still quite impressive in the vast universe.
Yang Wu has only just broken through to the next level, yet he's already comparable to his opponent?
Of course, Yang Wu has created too many miracles along the way. Although it is very difficult to be comparable to the Lord of Sky Wolf right after breaking through, it is still acceptable to everyone if it happens to Yang Wu.
"That's right!" Noticing everyone's gaze, Yang Wu nodded slightly.
Now that he has become the Universe Master, with the help of the Time Simulator and the Time Palace, his strength can naturally improve rapidly.
Even if we don't talk about upgrading to the Fifth Order, reaching the fourth tier should still be no problem.
Therefore, after becoming the Universe Master, with his strength and the allies among the Human Race, it is very difficult for him to encounter a fatal threat in the Primal Universe!
"Yang Wu!" The Lord of Huang Jian the Universe Mercenary Alliance nodded slightly to Yang Wu, then solemnly said, "I think you should have learned from the Virtual Universe before that the strength of Universe Master is basically divided into four levels: 'Entry-level,' 'Ordinary,' 'Peak,' and 'Top.'"
"However, within the Universe Ocean, there is a more precise classification; the strength of all Universe Master is basically divided into six tiers!"
"The first stage is the initial stage of Universe Master, with Life Gene Level a hundred times higher, Ultimate Secret Technique, and their Supreme Treasure Weapon are only average. Generally speaking, this is the level of strength of Universe Master."
"In the second stage, the Life Gene Level is about a thousand times higher. One can create Ultimate Secret Technique and Supreme Treasure, which are not bad. They can be called 'ordinary' level. Most Universe Master in the universe are at this level!"
"The third tier can be called the 'peak' level. Most Universe Master with this level of strength have obtained heaven-defying Supreme Treasure, created the Strongest Secret Technique, or reached Life Gene Level of about ten thousand times! Meeting one of these conditions allows one to enter the third tier, and if the other aspects are also very close, then the strength will naturally be even greater. Although the Lord of Sky Wolf does not meet these three conditions, his Supreme Treasure and Life Gene Level are quite good, so he has barely entered the third tier!"
"The fourth tier is the 'top level.' It requires meeting all three conditions mentioned above. For example, your teacher is a super strong person with fourth-tier combat power!"
"As for the Fifth Order, it can be called the pinnacle of the pinnacle! Even within our Human Race, there are only three: the Chaos City Leader, the Lord of Darkness, and Lord of Peng Gong! One needs to create and Strongest Secret Technique to possess such combat power!"
"And the sixth tier... refers to those heaven-defying Universe Master possess Supreme Treasure of the Highest Order." The Lord of Huang Jian shook his head and slowly said, "However, in my Primal Universe, even the Universe Supreme Being may not possess Supreme Treasure of the Highest Order. As for the nine super powers of the universe, only Five Great Super Powers possess them. Even my Human Race has not yet possessed Supreme Treasure of the Highest Order! Therefore, naturally there are no Sixth-Order Universe Master!"
"Alright!"
The Giant Axe Supreme, seated at the head of the table, smiled and said, "Yang Wu, you will naturally come to understand the division of strength among these Universe Masters in the future. However, I wonder, Yang Wu, what are your plans for your title of Universe Master?"
"The title of Universe Master?" Yang Wu's heart stirred slightly.
"Yes!" The Chaos City Leader, sitting next to the Giant Axe Supreme, nodded in agreement. "Now that you Yang Wu, have become the Universe Master, you naturally deserve a title!"
"However, your cultivation speed is simply too fast. Previously, the powerful beings of various races in the universe called you the King Shenwei, but now you have indeed become the Universe Master. I'm afraid the powerful beings of all races in the universe will call you the Lord of Shenwei!"
"However, many powerful beings change their titles after becoming Universe Master. If you are not satisfied with the title 'Lord of Shenwei,' you can also change it, and it will naturally spread throughout the universe!"
Yang Wu nodded seriously.
But a title?
Yang Wu pondered silently for a moment, and then an idea came to him!
"Time Lord!!"
Yang Wu smiled and said, "From now on, I'll be called the Time Lord!"
As the most important opportunity in Yang Wu's life, the Time Simulator was something Yang Wu naturally couldn't forget, so he named it Time.
As for the word 'Lord,' it represents Yang Wu's determination to eventually become the 'Hunyuan Lord.'
"The Time Lord?"
The many Universe Master present nodded after only a moment's thought.
After all, a title is just a label. Generally speaking, strong individuals choose their own titles, and other strong individuals rarely follow suit.
Unless the name is really awful or there are some special taboos.
"The Time Lord? Good!" The Giant Axe Supreme nodded, then looked at Yang Wu again and said seriously, "According to the rules of our humans, every newly appointed Universe Master is entitled to receive a top-tier Supreme Treasure Weapon from their race. Yang Wu, what are your requirements for this treasure?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This is the difference between the elite races and some smaller races! You must know that there aren't many places in the universe where you can obtain precious Supreme Treasure. Even for a Universe Master, obtaining a Top-tier Supreme Treasure is not an easy task.
However, among the Human Race, as long as you become the Universe Master, you will immediately receive a Top-tier Supreme Treasure as a gift. Even breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm will grant you a Top-Tier Heavy Treasure weapon!
"Yang Wu, just say it." Seeing Yang Wu hesitate, the Giant Axe Supreme spoke again.
All the other Universe Master also looked at Yang Wu.
"My race has already bestowed upon me a high-grade Soul-type Supreme Treasure, the value of which far exceeds that of a Top-tier Supreme Treasure weapon!"
Yang Wu earnestly refused, saying, "Now that I have become the Universe Master, I can no longer accept the gifts bestowed upon me by my race with a clear conscience!"
After his time in the Solitary Dragon Race's secret realm, Yang Wu now possesses quite a few Supreme Treasure. Furthermore, having killed Venerable Tianhua, he can now seek out Master Mountain Sitting Guest to obtain a second Supreme Treasure. Naturally, he won't be too concerned about the Top-tier Supreme Treasure weapon bestowed upon him by the Human Race.
Hearing Yang Wu's words, many Universe Master felt his sincerity and were deeply moved.
"There's no need for that!" said the Giant Axe Supreme. "That Soul-type Supreme Treasure was merely a gift from our race for your safety. Others in our Human Race's history have experienced similar things. As for the Top-tier Supreme Treasure weapon, that's a token of our race's goodwill!"
"Yes!"
"Yang Wu, you've just broken through, and you definitely need the clan's help to improve your strength as quickly as possible!"
Other Universe Master also offered their advice.
Although that high-level Soul-type Supreme Treasure was very precious, which of them hadn't received extra gifts from their clan during their growth? Although Yang Wu's treasure was the most precious, that was only because his talent and comprehension were far more terrifying.
Therefore, the many Universe Masters had no dissatisfaction with Yang Wu whatsoever, and even offered their advice.
"Alright!" Yang Wu thought for a moment and said, "I've just broken through and I'm not sure what treasures are most suitable for me. Why don't we just exchange the Supreme Treasure for Supreme Treasure Point? I can exchange them in the Race Treasury when I need them!"
"Very well." The Giant Axe Supreme nodded and said, "You've just broken through, so you do need to cultivate in seclusion for a while. There's no need to rush this matter!"
"Alright, now that everything has been discussed, the meeting can be adjourned!"
The Giant Axe Supreme smiled and said, "Chaos, now that Yang Wu's becoming the Universe Master has been exposed, we can directly inform the many powerful members of the clan. It's a good opportunity for everyone to be happy!"
"Hmm!" The Chaos City Leader sitting to the side nodded slightly and said.
The emergence of a new Universe Master is indeed a joyous occasion for the Human Race.
However, the Chaos City Leader could already imagine the shock those Universe Venerable would feel upon learning this news.
As the various Universe Master departed, Yang Wu, along with the powerful figures from the Virtual Universe Company, returned directly to Thunder Island.
At the summit of Thunder Island, in the temple of the Chaos City Leader, Yang Wu and his companions suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"The Giant Axe Meeting is over, Yang Wu. We should take you to meet the founder of my Virtual Universe Company!" the Chaos City Leader said with a smile.
"The founder of the Virtual Universe Lineage?" A hint of surprise flashed across Yang Wu's face as he asked, feigning ignorance.
He was naturally incredibly curious about the Original Ancestor led the Human Race to rise to prominence and became invincible across the Universe Ocean.
"Let's go see our teacher!" the Lord of Darkness, shrouded in black robes, said just as earnestly.
Immediately, Yang Wu and the other six Universe Master rushed directly into the Chaos air currents that enveloped the summit of Thunder Island, and rapidly advanced along a channel formed by endless Chaos air currents.
"Yang Wu, the one we're going to meet this time is the greatest super being in the history of our Human Race, the Original Ancestor!"
During the flight, the Chaos City Leader continuously introduced Yang Wu to everything about the Original Ancestor: "It is because of the existence of our teacher that our Human Race has been able to rise continuously and eventually become one of the top races..."
"He is the first and Universe Supreme Being among our Human Race!"
"Because of him, I, darkness, and Bingfeng are who we are today."
As the introductions continued, a hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the Chaos City Leader, as if he were recalling the scene from back then. Even the other Universe Master were all somewhat silent, each of them immersed in their own memories.
Soon, Yang Wu and his group of six arrived in a void where the Chaos air currents were extremely scarce. In the distance of the void, there stood an incredibly majestic and mysterious statue.
Around that mysterious statue, there were endless fluctuations of Law.
The fluctuations of numerous Origin Law— metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, space, time, Gold-Space, Wood Space, Water Space...—all surged forth from that mysterious statue!
"Is this the Original Ancestor?" Yang Wu looked at the mysterious statue, his heart filled with emotion.
He was a slightly thin, middle-aged man wearing a simple white robe and a smile on his face. The entire Virtual Universe could only function with him at its core.
"Teacher," the Chaos City Leader bowed as he looked at the mysterious statue, "Our Virtual Universe Company has gained another Universe Master. He is the strongest genius to appear in the endless ages of our Human Race. Yang Wu, who has become Universe Master in less than ten thousand years of cultivation, is here today to pay his respects to you, Teacher."
"Yang Wu." The Chaos City Leader turned to look at Yang Wu and said seriously, "This is the greatest being in my Human Race, the Original Ancestor! Even the Giant Axe Supreme received guidance from a master!"
Yang Wu immediately stepped forward, walked to the side of the Chaos City Leader, and respectfully bowed, saying, "Yang Wu greets the Original Ancestor."
The Chaos City Leader and his companions looked at the statues of Yang Wu and the Original Ancestor, as if they were witnessing a meeting of two unparalleled geniuses.
After the matter was over, the Chaos City Leader looked at the statue of the Original Ancestor and thought to himself, "Disciple, following Master's orders, guarded Chaos City and protected humanity for countless years without ever slacking off. Now that Yang Wu has become the Universe Master, his cultivation speed has even surpassed yours back then. I believe he will surely become a new pillar of our Human Race in the future, and our Human Race will naturally be able to grow stronger and more prosperous!"
At the same time, the Lord of Darkness and the Ice Peak Master both bowed slightly and spoke softly, but their voices were completely isolated from each other.
For a moment, the atmosphere around the Original Ancestor statue was very oppressive, and the invisible atmosphere affected Yang Wu and the others.
Until a moment later.
"We disciples take our leave." The Chaos City Leader bowed slightly, and Yang Wu and the others also bowed in return before flying away together.
The air currents swirled around them until Yang Wu and the others disappeared into the depths of the air currents.
The majestic statue still stands there, just as it has for countless ages.
However, the eyes on the statue subtly moved, glancing in the direction where Yang Wu and the others had disappeared.
Then a faint voice sounded, "Yang Wu? He can become the Universe Master in less than ten thousand years of cultivation?"
"It seems that our Human Race will become even stronger in the near future. This gives me more peace of mind!"
