Scheming

Lu Yan'an leaned back, adopting a relaxed, slouch. He then closed his eyes and began to recall the detailed information he had previously seen about the Universe Master and the Universe Supreme Being, pondering it carefully.

"The path to breaking through to the Universe Master is clear: either it's the simultaneous advancement of space and time, or the fusion of laws. I can basically succeed in either of these two steps. The only problem now is time!" Lu Yan'an pondered carefully. "After this assassination attempt by the Zuoshanke, I believe those Alien Race won't attempt a second assassination attempt in the short term, but I can't put my life on the line with the enemy's blade."

This assassination attempt by the Zuoshanke truly served as a wake-up call for Lu Yan'an. Previously, he had blindly believed that with the protection of the Soul-type Supreme Treasure "Chen Meng" and the safeguarding of his own ultimate-level willpower Universe Master, he could calmly self-destruct even if a powerful illusionist came to assassinate him. The Zuoshanke's move completely shattered all his previous arrogant notions!

If this Zuoshanke hadn't shown no murderous intent, even with the protection of two powerful beings with the strength of the Universe Supreme Being for a short period, Lu Yan'an probably wouldn't have survived!

"Now I need to find a way to make the Alien Race unable to attack me, or to make them give up on attacking me altogether." Faced with this complex situation, he could only consider solutions from these two angles. After all, within the Ancestral God Religion, it was impossible and unrealistic for the two powerful figures, the Ancestral God and the Beast God, to protect him every moment.

Inside the study, Lu Yan'an closed his eyes, deep in thought. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them.

"Two solutions."

"First, I will Years into seclusion for ten thousand years, completely abandoning the fusion of the Heart of the Beast God and the Time Fusion Law, and devote all my energy to comprehending the Law of Space. Based on my current understanding of the Law of Space, ten thousand years will be enough for me to fully comprehend it. By then, I will have truly become the Universe Master, and the Alien Race will naturally no longer have any intention of assassinating me."

For a genius like Lu Yan'an, once he matures, the Alien Race will naturally abandon their assassination attempts. In the Primal Universe, the price that the Universe Supreme Being would have to pay to kill a Universe Master is completely unacceptable. Truly becoming Universe Master is like stepping out of the chessboard and becoming a player; no Alien Race could afford the price of such an attempt to kill him.

It should be understood that before becoming Universe Master, the assassinations by Alien Race were extremely rampant. However, there has never been any known instance of a race in the Primal Universe specifically targeting a Universe Master for assassination. This is because once a race reaches the level of Universe Master, none of them are easy to deal with! It is impossible for a race to exhaust its resources to assassinate the resources of another race; such an act would be truly foolish!

After all, the ultimate goal of assassination is to completely destroy and eliminate the opposing race, and no means are too extreme. But once it reaches the level of Universe Master's fall, it will inevitably lead to a death battle between races! The direct consequence of this is the decline of both races, which is something every powerful being tries their best to avoid. Of course, unless it's Universe Master falls under extreme circumstances like the treasure hunt on Primitive Star, a powerful being who falls for personal gain, no race would be willing to engage in a death battle over such a situation.

"Second, just like City Lord Luo in the original story, I will make the Alien Race think that I am the Universe Master!" Lu Yan'an thought to himself.

"The reason they're so eager to kill me is because they fear I'll become the Universe Master... Once they've decided I'm the Universe Master, they'll regret it, thinking they were too slow and I've already broken through," Lu Yan'an thought to himself. "This idea is essentially the same as the previous one, the difference being that I still have 100,000 years of free time to roam. But in that case, I must comprehend the Strongest Secret Technique of the Universe Master before the Battle for Fame! And no one knows when this Battle for Fame will arrive."

Lu Yan'an silently weighed the two options.

His reason told him that choosing the first option was the safest way. Completing a full understanding of the Law of Space Years 100,000 years was not a difficult task for his talent, which had been enhanced to the maximum by his various Clone! Moreover, if he could have an epiphany during the process of comprehending the laws, then the time of 100,000 years could be further shortened.

However, it would be completely out of character for him to hide in a safe place and cultivate in seclusion out of fear of assassination by the Universe Supreme Being! His true body clearly possesses the strength of a second-level Universe Master, and his Clone can even reach the third-level Universe Master when he goes all out. With such strength, why would he be afraid of an assassination that may come at any time? It would be like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

"Then let's execute both plans simultaneously! Kong Yu's Clone and the World Tree Clone will focus on comprehending the Law of Space, while the Demon Beast Clone will venture out in the form of the main body, and the main body will hide in the Space Ring to comprehend the basic Secret Pattern Diagram, striving to comprehend the Strongest Secret Technique of the Universe Master!"

"Once the Strongest Secret Technique of the Universe Master is created, I will enter this race war and fight for fame! Otherwise, I will wait until I have achieved the Law of Space and truly broken through to become the Universe Master before participating in this race war, since this race war usually lasts for millions of Years."

"Um."

"My Divine Body be very similar to that of Universe Master, almost the same." Lu Yan'an pondered to himself. According to the data he had investigated, when Universe Venerable breaks through to become Universe Master, the Divine Body increases a hundredfold. In other words... even the weakest Universe Master has Divine Body strength equivalent to Universe Venerable with "ten thousand times the life gene"!

"My true form is currently at Gene Level of 200 times, and its Divine Body strength is only 50 times weaker than that of an ordinary Universe Master. With the amplification from the fusion of my Heart Power and the power of the laws, the strength of my true form's Divine Body is already twice that of an ordinary Universe Master."

"Willpower and consciousness are also at the level of Universe Master!"

Lu Yan'an nodded to himself, "If my secret technique is also the Strongest Secret Technique of the Universe Master, and I can use it frequently and display the full Universe Master... then who dares to say that I am not the Universe Master? Even the most difficult thing, Control Space-Time, I can control spacetime by relying on the Differentiation World Tree in the Space Ring!"

"I possess all the characteristics of Universe Master. Even if I haven't truly broken through to the Universe Master yet, who can deny my strength?"

"My only weakness is my Control Space-Time, which prevents me from resurrecting some Universe Venerable and immortals. But as long as it's during a battle, who will care whether you can resurrect them?"

Control Space-Time allows one to suppress opponents through control of time and space, and also to Reverse Time and Space to resurrect other Universe Venerable, immortals, and so on!

"The power of battles at the level of Universe Master is heaven-defying... The constraints created by controlling a spacetime are completely ineffective in battles at that level; controlling a spacetime only suppresses the weaker ones," Lu Yan'an thought to himself. "Besides, no one is forcing me to Reverse Time and Space and resurrect anyone during battle."

"Um!"

After careful consideration, Lu Yan'an nodded secretly.

Absolutely feasible... The most convincing argument is the secret technique. If one can comprehend and repeatedly unleash the Strongest Secret Technique at the level of Universe Master, then as long as more super beings become aware of it, they will quickly determine that it is a secret technique at the level of Universe Master. And the Secret Pattern Diagram School is clearly a secret!

One must become the Universe Master to create the Strongest Secret Technique at the level of Universe Master! This was common knowledge in the Primal Universe, given that the "Secret Pattern Flow" had not yet manifested.

"It's entirely possible to succeed." Lu Yan'an nodded to himself.

"I have to prove myself through battle."

Since Lu Yan'an has decided to make billions of races in the universe believe that he is the Universe Master, he naturally has to prove it through battle!

In battle, one must be convincing! But with Lu Yan'an now possessing all the characteristics of Universe Master, combat strength has never been a major issue! The real difficulty lies in convincing these Alien Race that he has truly entered the level of Universe Master, and that they cannot afford the cost of assassinating the strongest among them!
