Lu Yan'an began his breakthrough that very day. His foundation was so solid that it even supported him from breaking through the bottleneck before reaching the Immortal Level!

Outside the Original Core, a gray sphere slowly condensed. Its interior was as beautiful and radiant as a Vortex Galaxy, and at the core of the Vortex Galaxy was the enormous black hole. With a Lu Yan'an, this Vortex Galaxy also began to undergo astonishing changes, and it began to rotate and fluctuate at an incomprehensible speed.

"Rumble..."

The core black hole slowly grows larger, and the surrounding rotating stars are also affected by the devouring force and are frantically swallowed up! As the core black hole continues to grow larger, the number of surrounding stars decreases accordingly.

A moment later, the entire vortex galaxy vanished, leaving only a single supermassive black hole! This black hole began to fluctuate continuously, eventually collapsing internally and reducing to a black, round crystal. At this moment, the outer shell of the gray sphere detached, and the round crystal, under special influence, began to expand, eventually becoming the same size as the original core. And this was precisely the life core that Lu Yan'an's original body had condensed within his body after breaking through to the Domain Lord level!

Within the Life Core are Soul Crystal and Origin Force Crystal.

Of course, this "Life Core" wasn't actually that important to Lu Yan'an.

The Life Core corresponds to Lu Yan'an's true form, just as the Life Crystal Core corresponds to the Time Demon Beast Clone; it's essentially a one-way switch. Only the Original Core is Lu Yan'an's true essence!

At the same time, Lu Yan'an's Life Crystal Core also underwent a slow transformation. Meanwhile, the aura of the Time Demon Beast's Clone was also constantly increasing, and eventually the aura of the Demon Beast Clone gradually stabilized at the first level of the Domain Lord.

Several hours later.

"The Domain Lord is terrifyingly powerful!"

Lu Yan'an examined the changes in himself after his breakthrough.

Upon reaching the level of Universe Level Domain Lord, the galaxy within the Original Core was completely swallowed by the black hole. The supermassive black hole collapsed, forming a crystalline core, which was the gray sphere that appeared in the crystalline core when Lu Yan'an broke through before.

Domain Lord, your soul resides within this crystal core, also known as the "Life Core"!

After a long maturation period, a world will gradually be born inside the Life Core. This process will continue throughout the entire process from the first level of Domain Lord to the Domain Lord Ninth Stage!

When the gestation is fully successful, a fundamental transformation will occur, and the gestated world will become a real world!

At that time, he will be the World Lord!

Lu Yan'a World Lord a truly self-contained world within their body, capable of wielding "World Energy" with a mere wave of their hand. They can also sustain life, store items, and so on, just like in the real world! However, Lu Yan'an's breakthrough wasn't just a transformation of his Life Core; the most crucial aspect was the transformation of his Original Core. Before the essence of his Original Core underwent a transformation, Lu Yan'an's Life Core could not possibly reach the level of World Lord!

After the breakthrough, the Vortex Galaxy within the dantian also condensed into an Origin Force Crystal Sphere. With the Soul Crystal Sphere and the Origin Force Crystal Sphere as its two cores, it can exist in any part of the body, in the sea of consciousness in the head, in the dantian, or even in any location such as the arms or chest, releasing Spiritual Force and Origin Force!

From the Apprentice Level to the Universe Level, the soul resides in the sea of consciousness. Therefore, the highest level that can be controlled by implanted chips is the Universe Level powerhouse, and the highest level of slavery is the Universe Level slave. This is because after breaking through to the Domain Lord, the soul returns to the Life Core, and the sea of consciousness in the brain is no longer a weakness. Therefore, the power of technology is not yet able to enslave powerhouses at the Domain Lord and above.

"However, these Soul Crystal Sphere and Origin Force Crystal Sphere are not very important to me; they are just energy." Lu Yan'an thought to himself.

If it were a normal flesh-and-blood life form, it would surely die once its Soul Crystal Sphere or Origin Force Crystal Sphere collapsed... But for Lu Yan'an, the Original Core was the most crucial thing; the Life Crystal Core and Life Core were equivalent to a renewable resource.

"However, breaking through to immortality might be a huge hurdle for me."

Please note!

To become an immortal, World Lord must break free from the 'shackles' of their Internal World and merge with some Space Fragment in the cracks of the universe to form a truly stable and powerful space— God Kingdom!

The "shackles" here refer to the Original Core. This is also the most difficult shackle to break!

The Original Core will continuously condense and become harder as strength grows, making it extremely difficult to break through.

For Lu Yan'an, this difficulty is countless times greater than that of ordinary people. Because through continuous transformation, his Original Core has become as solid as a rock, and no ordinary method of breaking through the Life Core can be successfully used on Lu Yan'an's Original Core.

Half a day later.

The personnel from the Virtual Universe Company stationed on the Wuchen Continent immediately rushed to Lu Yan'an's location.

"Your His Highness An, the Virtual Universe Network has detected through your network connection device that you have reached the Domain Lord level. According to company regulations, we need to confirm this in the real world." Three Black-robed Steward stood respectfully in front of Lu Yan'an. Lu Yan'an smiled slightly. Whether it was the Consciousness Induction Helmet or the intelligent Light Brain, they were all equipped with network connection settings, and most of them were also equipped with "body check" devices.

Those devices are all pretty basic and not very accurate, so real-world inspection is the only way to confirm their accuracy.

"I understand." Lu Yan'an nodded.

"Please release your Spiritual Force and Origin Force," the head Black-robed Steward said respectfully.

"OK."

Lu Yan'an smiled and released a pure burst of Spiritual Force Spiritual Force, which swept across the surrounding area before receding into his body. Then, Lu Yan'an extended his right hand, and a dazzling golden light shot out.

"Drop!"

"Drop!"

The instruments in the hands of the three Black-robed Steward all beeped, and the Black-robed Steward looked down and nodded slightly. The intensity of Lu Yan'an's released Spiritual Force and Origin Force had indeed reached the level of "Domain Lord".

"Your Highness, please give us a drop of blood so we can test and confirm whether our genes have undergone a mutation," said the head Black-robed Steward.

"No, I can't give you the blood!" Surprisingly, Lu Yan'an shook his head and refused the Black-robed Steward's request. While blood could indeed determine the level of a person's genetic advancement, it would also expose Lu Yan'an's Gene Level, which was 50 times higher than that of an ordinary person! Compared to exposing this secret, Lu Yan'an preferred that they continue to treat him as an ordinary Universe Level being!

"Please don't make things difficult for us, Your Highness, with the blood gene test confirming it. We're just following the rules." The head Black-robed Steward looked at Lu Yan'an with a wry smile. "Without this, we can't determine whether you've already broken through to the Domain Lord level."

Examining Spiritual Force, Origin Force, and blood is a very precise way to confirm strength.

The Spiritual Force can determine the level of a person's soul.

The Origin Force can determine the physical level.

Blood can determine the level of genetic advancement in the body.

Of course, there is another, much more precise method: having a powerful expert directly use their Spiritual Force to penetrate Lu Yan'an's body and carefully examine whether he possesses Life Core! However, this method is extremely humiliating and dangerous. The Life Core is the very heart of a person; if someone were to use this "examination" as an opportunity to destroy Life Core, wouldn't a prince perish?

Moreover, given His Highness's status, how could he tolerate others investigating so meticulously?

"May I mention this to my teacher?" Lu Yan'an asked the head of the Black-robed Steward.

"Your Highness, please proceed!"

"Thank you." Lu Yan'an nodded, and in the blink of an eye, he logged into the Virtual Universe.

"Since Your Highness has been confirmed as Domain Lord, then according to the rules, Your Highness is entitled to one more opportunity for physical enhancement." The head Black-robed Steward smiled, his purple eyes full of friendliness. "We had already brought the Nutrient Capsule, but the City Lord suddenly ordered us to change the concentration of the Nutrient Solution to 50 times that of Special Grade Nutrient Solution. Now we need to prepare again. Please wait a moment, Your Highness!"

As the Black-robed Steward spoke, a hint of scrutiny crept into his gaze as he looked at Lu Yan'an. However, he didn't ask any further questions, after all, this was an order personally given by the City Lord of Chaos! Even if he were incredibly bold, he wouldn't dare to listen too much.

Lu Yan'an nodded.

That's how the Virtual Universe Company. No prince needs to waste time accumulating energy. Once they step into the first level of the Domain Lord, they can be directly strengthened to the ninth level of the Domain Lord through the Nutrient Capsule! Even his Life Gene Level, which is 50 times higher, is taken care of perfectly!

Three hours later.

"Call!"

A Nutrient Capsule, entirely the color of rock gray, suddenly appeared before Lu Yan'an. Its seemingly ancient Nutrient Capsule suggested it was quite expensive. Of course, the "Nutrient Capsule Nutrient Solution" inside was the truly valuable component!

"Your Highness, this Nutrient Capsule can only be used by Your Highness alone," the head Black-robed Steward said with a smile. "Besides the Nutrient Capsule, there is another matter I need to tell Your Highness."

Lu Yan'an stood there listening.

"The second thing is that Your Highness, having reached the Domain Lord level, according to the rules of my Virtual Universe Company, you must be transferred out!" The head Black-robed Steward looked at Lu Yan'an, "But the City Lord just ordered us to cancel your transfer order! It seems the higher-ups have other plans for you."

"My assignment to a foreign post has been cancelled? Other arrangements?" Lu Yan'an was somewhat confused. He had never imagined that his assignment could be changed. After all, even someone as amazing as City Lord Luo in the original story was still sent back to his homeland, the Universe Country.

"Your Highness!"

The leading envoy, with purple eyes and dressed in black, smiled and said, "Because of your special circumstances and the great implications involved, your future is being considered in high-level meetings. However, this requires a process, and we should be able to give you a reply within a year. Please wait a moment."

Lu Yan'an nodded.

"Now that the matter is settled, we will not disturb you any longer." The purple-eyed envoy in black bowed slightly, and the other two envoys in black behind him also bowed respectfully.

[I recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Everyone should give it a try!]

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The three special envoys transformed into three streaks of Flowing Light and flew away.
