Empress Universe

The reason the Initial Universe is called such is primarily because it remains forever in its nascent stage.

The reason for this is that its owner, the human ancestor—Original Ancestor—attempted to seize the Original Universe and was suppressed by it.

Having lost the support of the Original Ancestor's will, the Initial Universe lost its "vitality" and thus remained forever in its nascent stage.

This is a good thing, after all, it provided the human race with a holy land for cultivating geniuses.

But in reality, the disadvantages far outweigh the benefits; having lost the Original Ancestor, a tier ten universe supreme being, the human race has been suppressed quite miserably.

Fortunately, the Giant Axe Founder made a breakthrough just in time and shouldered the burden in a time of crisis; otherwise, who knows which corner of the universe the human race would have been driven to.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Cai Yi.

Although she had beautiful expectations, they were shattered the moment she saw the Empress Universe.

The Empress Universe naturally has no manifest laws; after countless ages, it has long since passed its nascent stage and can be considered a roughly complete small universe still awaiting development.

As for wanting to observe the laws directly with the naked eye, don't even think about it; the Empress Universe has no such thing...

"Let's go, we are going to the Empress Palace first to meet Her Majesty the Empress."

Because of the low "fertility" of the Zerg Mother Empress, every newborn Zerg Mother Empress has one opportunity to meet the pillar of the Zerg race, the Zerg Queen, upon arriving at the Empress Universe.

Of course, the meeting is only with a divine power avatar of the other party, but it is still an absolutely glorious event.

After all, being able to meet a universe supreme being while still at the Planetary Level is something almost entirely impossible in other races!

Isabella and several other sisters who brought newborn Zerg Mother Empresses flew toward the core area of the small universe.

The Empress Palace is located in the core area of the Empress Universe, the place closest to the origin of the small universe.

Its exterior is an extremely ancient and massive palace, carrying a solemn aura that makes one feel awe at first sight.

"How magnificent..."

Cai Yi sighed.

Evangeline couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

"This Empress Palace is a peak treasure. Well, you might not understand what that means, but in short, it is a treasure that Isabella and I are far from being able to touch."

Using a peak palace-type treasure as one's own residence? Isn't that too rich?

Cai Yi was a bit dazed; when she first saw it, she thought it was just an ordinary treasure, never expecting it to be so extravagant.

One must know that palace-type, domain-type, and soul-type treasures are far more precious than other types of treasures.

In the absence of supreme treasures, a peak palace-type treasure is enough to uphold the status of a universe supreme being!

Even tier five universe masters don't necessarily possess these three types of peak treasures; for instance, doesn't the Chaos City Leader carry the top-tier treasure River of Thousand Treasures?

The Zerg Queen doesn't put this Empress Palace back into the race treasury to give others a chance to exchange for it, but instead takes it out to serve as her residence in the Empress Universe.

Is she showing off her wealth!?

Regardless of how complex Cai Yi's thoughts were, Isabella and Evangeline had already brought her into the palace.

Walking into the magnificent hall, on the throne on the high platform directly ahead, sat a beauty so stunning it was breathtaking.

Cai Yi looked twice and almost couldn't tear her eyes away.

She was simply too beautiful!!!

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."

Isabella, Evangeline, and the other Zerg Mother Empresses bowed slightly to the Zerg Queen.

In the Zerg race, Zerg Mother Empresses below the level of universe master address each other as sisters, while those above the level of universe master must be addressed with honorifics.

"Not bad this time, our race has added three new members."

The Zerg Queen's dreamlike voice drifted over, carrying a hint of charm that made one intoxicated.

"Isabella, Evangeline, what is your child's name?"

"Reporting to the Empress, her name is Cai Yi."

"Cai Yi? A good name."

The Zerg Queen looked at Cai Yi with an inexplicable expression in her eyes.

The other newborn Mother Empresses had not yet broken free from her beauty, but Cai Yi had only looked twice before she dared not look again.

Such a special case naturally could not escape her notice.

However, it was just an extra glance; Cai Yi is still young, and neither her talent for laws nor her combat ability has been demonstrated yet, so she is not yet worth investing in too early.

Next, the Zerg Queen asked for the names of the other newborn Mother Empresses one by one.

Upon entering the Empress Palace, they had already been confirmed not to have been possessed or enslaved, so they were granted the qualification to enter the Mother Emperor Palace, and then they were allowed to leave.

"Mother, where is the Mother Emperor Palace?"

Cai Yi asked, looking at Isabella.

Why is it another palace? Could it also be a peak treasure palace? Is the Zerg race too extravagant!?

"The Mother Emperor Palace is the insect nest that Her Majesty the Empress used back in the day. After the Empress obtained the treasure palace, she kept it as an academy for our new generation of the Zerg race. All the resources you need for your growth are inside."

Isabella explained.

Simply put, the Mother Emperor Palace is equivalent to the human race's holy land, Chaos City, possessing inheritance artifacts similar to Chaos Tablets.

Beyond that, treasures that enhance genetic levels, such as Xueluo Crystals, are also piled up inside; as long as one passes the trials, they can be obtained without needing to go through the life-and-death training that humans must endure.

The reason for this is quite simple: once a Zerg Mother Empress matures, she can completely overwhelm the vast majority of humans!

A World Lord Zerg Mother Empress with sufficient resources can kill a Marquis Immortal by launching a sneak attack with a swarm of insects.

If it were a legion of a million King Level Zerg, even a King Level would find it a headache...

In a direct confrontation, a Zerg Mother Empress can also trade blows with a Marquis Immortal; although most cannot win, they can usually manage to escape.

Irina was just an unlucky exception...

When a Zerg Mother Empress breaks through to become an Immortal, she directly reaches the peak of King Level, and with a little consolidation, she can reach the limit of King Level; it only takes a bit of opportunity to become invincible at the King Level.

Therefore, before reaching the World Lord stage, Zerg Mother Empresses focus primarily on stable cultivation and have no need to go out for external training.

Soon, they arrived at the Mother Emperor Palace.

The Mother Emperor Palace is much larger than the Empress Palace, but according to Isabella's introduction, this Mother Emperor Palace is merely a top-tier heavy treasure, just large in size.

The palace is divided into many areas, and the place Cai Yi and the others are heading to now is the Enlightenment Zone.

The Enlightenment Zone is where the use of innate secret techniques, insights into domains, and the thresholds of laws are taught to the new generation of the Zerg.

It is specifically designed for Zerg Mother Empresses who have just been born.

When Cai Yi and the others arrived, there were only two Zerg Mother Empresses, about three or four meters tall, in the Enlightenment Zone.

The one teaching them Zerg knowledge was a Zerg.

Well, not a Mother Empress!

The other party was a Zerg warrior created by a certain Mother Empress who had accidentally developed self-awareness.

Mother Empresses are quite welcoming of this type of Zerg; after all, they are the creations of the Mother Empresses and naturally possess an innate affinity for their creators.

Of course, that is not the most important thing; the important thing is that they do not possess the ability to reproduce!

The expansion of the race can only rely on the Zerg Mother Empresses trying their luck, which leads them to rely on the Zerg Mother Empresses, effectively becoming a branch of the Zerg.

"Your Highnesses, are there new members joining us?"

That ferocious-looking Zerg parted its insectoid mouth and said with a smile.

The appearance was extremely terrifying, and Cai Yi buried her face back into Isabella's arms.

"Yes, Taras, I will leave them to you."

Isabella set Cai Yi down, gave her a few instructions, and then left with Evangeline and the other Mother Empresses.

"Your Highnesses, please find a seat. I will explain the types of Zerg warriors to you in a moment."

Taras said with a smile.

Eww... absolutely terrifying!!!
