Relying on the detector, Lu Yan'an began exploring the deeper levels of the Mizong Galaxy.

The Mizong Galaxy truly lives up to its name, "Lost Galaxy."

At the same time, crises are everywhere!

The high-frequency energy reactions detected by the detectors alone numbered over a hundred, each one a potential trap! If one were to accidentally fly past such an energy assassin, the energy reaction would be enough to instantly melt Lu Yan'an's Machine Race and his physical body!

This is just the high-frequency energy reaction that is exposed in the detector's scan; sometimes, there are even Soul Attack that cannot be detected by the detector!

Lu Yan'an, who was sitting cross-legged in the cockpit of the Machine Race's spaceship, comprehending the laws, suddenly opened his eyes. "Soul Attack of this level can appear?"

Just now, a Soul Attack pierced through the entire defenses of the Machine Race's spaceship and landed on Lu Yan'an's Life Core. Unlike the usual minor Soul Attack, this Soul Attack was comparable in strength to an immortal! Although it couldn't affect Lu Yan'an, this level of attack was something no ordinary Domain Lord could withstand.

During the fifty years of exploration within the Mizong Galaxy, Lu Yan'an had endured Soul Attack from the void more than once. But this was the first time he had ever witnessed Soul Attack of such intensity.

"This Soul Attack was not only powerful, but it also exposed my energy coordinates?" Lu Yan'an looked at the high-frequency energy reaction that suddenly appeared on the detector and was caught in a dilemma. His reason told him to leave this place as soon as possible, but the voice in his heart said that this place might be related to the Divine Envoy.

"Alright, let's go check that out first!" After a long period of agonizing, Lu Yan'an finally chose to trust his inner voice. Having searched aimlessly for fifty years, Lu Yan'an had already ventured far, far into this Mizong Galaxy. Judging by his pace, he estimated he was almost out of the surface region of this Mizong Galaxy! This was the main reason he chose to investigate the source of the Soul Attack.

Soon, following the route given by the detector, Lu Yan'an piloted his spaceship to a location ten thousand meters away from the starting point of the Soul Attack.

In the void, he stared intently at the space before him, perceiving everything ahead through the fluctuations of spacetime.

"No energy bursts at all? That's impossible!" Lu Yan'an rubbed his chin, staring thoughtfully at the energy source marked on the detector's display on the spaceship's main control screen. Everything was calm and uneventful! If the detector didn't have a recording function, Lu Yan'an probably would have thought he was seeing things.

"Let's see what's going on here!" Immediately, Lu Yan'an the Neutron Cannon mounted on his Machine Race spaceship and fired at the energy burst from before.

Boom!

!

An invisible and intangible terrifying force instantly spread in all directions, a portion of which swept towards Lu Yan'an's soul, but he intercepted it all!

"It really is here!" Lu Yan'an looked at the attack site with burning excitement. After the probing just now, he was certain that there was a great secret in this space! Otherwise, there would be no way that Spiritual Force comparable to an immortal Soul Attack could be spread out.

So he began searching the area Neutron Cannon. And just an hour later, Lu Yan'an found a hidden space inside a speck of dust the size of a grain of sand! This speck of dust was suspended in space as if it were fixed in place, and even the Neutron Cannon could not make its position shift in the slightest.

Inside the mezzanine, sat a handsome, aloof bald man in white robes. His body was covered in Law Secret Pattern, giving him an almost peculiar charm from afar. His eyes were closed, clearly indicating that he had lived for countless Years!

The next moment, Lu Yan'an's true form appeared in this space.

"Hello, successor of the human race!" After Lu Yan'an appeared in this interlayered space, a virtual image suddenly began to play in front of him.

"I wonder how many Years have passed by the time you see this?" the white-clad man in the video sighed with a touch of melancholy. "But since you've managed to come to this place in the Original Secret Realm of my Virtual Universe Company, you must be one of my human race!"

"Let me introduce myself first. You can call me 'Jueguang'!" The pale-faced man in the virtual image introduced himself. Even Lu Yan'an could tell that this powerful figure who called himself "Jueguang" was not in good condition when recording the virtual image.

"Young Lu, I've found information about this 'Jueguang' for you!" The Lord Shen's voice suddenly rang in his ears. "The King Jueguang, Invincible King suddenly disappeared 30,000 epochs ago, earned the title of 'King Jueguang' by virtue of his incredibly terrifying Law of Light and Body Amplitude Secret Technique. He was once an invincible powerhouse who could roam the universe!"

Upon hearing the Lord Shen's introduction of this King Jueguang, Lu Yan'an couldn't help but sigh softly. Even someone as powerful as King Jueguang, an Invincible King, could fall. The path of cultivation is truly unpredictable and fraught with endless hardships.

The King Jueguang in the virtual image was unaware of Lu Yan'an's sigh. He continued, "To make a long story short, since you were able to withstand this Immortal Level Soul Attack with your strength below the immortal level, collect all 39 Mizong Crystal, and evade the difficulties I set up along the way to find this place, then you have already passed my test." His expression was solemn. "Now I will pass on the inheritance to you! However, even if you receive this inheritance, I still hope you will maintain the proper reverence for this universe!"

"Is it fate? Is it destiny? I rose because of the inheritance of the Time Divine Envoy, but I also fell because of it. Was all the gain and loss worth it?" After saying this, the King Jueguang in the image fell into a long silence, and then the entire virtual image gradually dissipated. Suddenly, a Flowing Light crystal flew out from the King Jueguang's corpse and slowly landed in front of Lu Yan'an.

"I did manage to maintain awe! But the test you left behind is too outrageous. Putting everything else aside, this Immortal Level Soul Attack alone is already hellish in difficulty!" You should know that those who usually come to carry out missions in this Mizong Galaxy are all Universe Level geniuses from the Virtual Universe Company. It goes without saying how far they are from immortality. If they explore even a little deeper during the mission, they'll probably be gone!

Immediately, Lu Yan'an reached out and grasped the faceted crystal in his hand. At the same time, a stream of information suddenly flooded into Lu Yan'an's mind.

Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal.

This is a special treasure originating from the "Ancestral God Religion". Under normal circumstances, any life form below the Immortal Level with a soul can receive the complete inheritance from the Divine Envoy.

Take this "Time Divine Envoy" as an example.

After receiving the inheritance, one can begin to cultivate the "Time Divine Envoy Secret Technique".

Once the entire secret technique has been mastered to perfection, one becomes Divine Envoy Candidate. The Divine Envoy Candidate can then fuse this Inheritance Crystal into their body, and if successful... they will become the new "Time Divine Envoy".

In the vast universe, there are a total of Three Thousand Divine Envoys, but only one Time Divine Envoy. Each Divine Envoy follows a different path.

If the current Time Divine Envoy remains in office, other inheritors who have completed their cultivation can only become "Time Divine Envoy Candidate". Only when the current Time Divine Envoy perishes will a new "Time Divine Envoy" emerge from among the Time Divine Envoy Candidate.

Even if one cultivates the Divine Envoy Inheritance to its peak and becomes a "Divine Envoy Candidate," it is merely the limit of Feng Wang... Only by fusing with the Inheritance Crystal and becoming the only Divine Envoy of a certain type can one be equivalent to Invincible King like the King Zhenyan, comparable to the most ordinary Universe Venerable.

This Inheritance Crystal can be passed on once per era. Judging from its name, it is probably related to the laws of "light and time," and the path that Lu Yan'an himself has taken is precisely the Fusion Laws "light and time"! In other words, this Inheritance Secret Technique is extremely suitable for him.

However, there is a drawback to accepting the Divine Envoy Inheritance. It's fine if the secret technique is not mastered, but once it is mastered, the limit of one's achievements in this life is "Divine Envoy". In other words, although one is very strong in the early stages after cultivating the special secret technique Divine Envoy Inheritance, if one masters it, one will be affected by the secret technique and will never be able to become a true Universe Venerable.

This King Jueguang was the previous "Time Divine Envoy," and he truly took this path to its extreme! But he was both made and broken by the Divine Envoy. Divine Envoy King Jueguang, who achieved the title of Invincible King comparable to ordinary Venerable, was constantly yearning to break free from the shackles of this inheritance in the later years of his life!

"I won't follow in your footsteps! I definitely won't!" Lu Yan'an murmured, stroking the Inheritance Crystal in his hand.
