"But your talent is truly admirable, though it's a pity you've had so little experience." The Zuoshanke remained silent for a long time, as if weighing something.

Finally, it looked up and fixed its gaze on Lu Yan'an, saying, "I intend to give you a chance—the chance to become my third disciple!"

"No! Teacher! If the Universe Venerable recognizes this Star Tower as his master, he will surely die!" Before Lu Yan'an could speak, Pu Ti hurriedly advised.

"You've misunderstood!" Seeing that Pu Ti seemed to have misunderstood his words, the Zuoshanke smiled and said to Pu Ti, "The Yuan Planet lineage is a child I guided. With this little guy's talent, if he doesn't receive the right guidance, I'm afraid he'll never reach the path of the Universe Supreme Being!"

As he spoke, the Zuoshanke smiled faintly and said to Lu Yan'an beside him, "Since you no longer meet the standards for the Star Tower's life-or-death test, then I will use your talent as the test! The end of this inter-clan war between your four major clans will be the final deadline for the test. If you can comprehend the Strongest Secret Technique of the Universe Master or break through to the Universe Master level within this time, then I will make an exception and accept you as my personal disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an was immediately taken aback. He truly hadn't expected that the Zuoshanke would actually consider taking him as a disciple.

It's important to know that the true identity of the Zuoshanke is the God King of the Jin Kingdom. Although he has been reincarnated and all his strength is gone, he still retains his God King realm. This is a living God King! Even though he has been reincarnated and is much weaker than before, even the little bit of good stuff that he reveals under his fingernails is enough to fill a little guy like Lu Yan'an's stomach.

Most importantly, he doesn't need to undergo the life-or-death test of being recognized as a master by the Star Tower like City Lord Luo. He only needs to comprehend the Strongest Secret Technique of Universe Master or directly break through to the Universe Master during the clan war. This was already Lu Yan'an's plan, and now the Zuoshanke has merely proposed a goal he already wanted to achieve. Since that's the case, why not take it?

Thinking of this, Lu Yan'an immediately bowed and replied, "Thank you, teacher!"

"Don't rush to call me 'teacher.' Any disciple I want to take in must first meet my requirements." The Zuoshanke shook his head and smiled at Lu Yan'an. "Let me see if you, hailed as the number one genius among the Human Race in the Primal Universe, can truly meet my minimum requirements."

The Reincarnated God King, the Zuoshanke, accepted very few disciples. Moreover, his second and third disciples were chosen by actively guiding the nurturing of a new race and Creation Secret Technique, among other things, to select the most outstanding individuals as his disciples. This demonstrates just how demanding the Zuoshanke was in choosing his disciples.

If it weren't for his active guidance in nurturing the two lineages, the towering old man would have chosen only one of his deeply loyal servants—a Universe Master— as his eldest disciple. Apart from that, regardless of the billions of races in the universe, the countless Years of the past, or the numerous geniuses and powerful figures, the Zuoshanke refused to accept a single disciple. This demonstrates the stringent standards he set for accepting disciples!

Of course, this is also because the Zuoshanke is a lone and strongest individual. The "City Lord of Chaos" is different. He bears the responsibility of strengthening the Human Race. Whenever there are some super geniuses or peerless figures, the human Universe Master will take them as disciples one by one, resulting in a large number of personal disciples and an even more frightening number of nominal disciples. Even the Giant Axe Founder is no exception.

That's what it means to be bound by ethnic ties.

The reincarnated form of the Zuoshanke is a unique life form in the universe, free from the constraints of any race. No matter how talented you are, I have no interest in teaching you. The races I cultivate are like my children, which is why I take such good care of them.

Despite the harsh words of the Zuoshanke, it didn't actually care whether Lu Yan'an could fulfill the request.

If Lu Yan'an succeeds, it will be his good fortune! After all, being able to become a disciple of a God-King in the Primal Universe is a rare and precious opportunity. However, if he cannot even meet this simplest assessment requirement, then the Mountain Hermit will not bother with him anymore. This assessment opportunity was only given to Lu Yan'an because of his Origin Star background. If he cannot even meet this simplest requirement, then he has no value in being trained.

"Before you take this test, let me give you one more hint! Your talent can be said to have reached an extreme state, but you lack the willpower to seek inspiration from life!" The Zuoshanke sighed.

"The will to find inspiration in life?" Lu Yan'an murmured. He knew that words spoken by someone of the Zuoshanke's level of understanding would inevitably contain errors, but he did not understand their meaning.

"Don't understand? That's alright, you're still too young! Remember this: you can't cultivate the Heart of the Beast God seclusion! True freedom can only be obtained through the pursuit of your own will and the power to move you. If you want to go further, then go out and explore. The universe holds the answers you seek!"

"As for the second leader of this failed Yuan Planet succession, Pu Ti, you shall Reverse Time and Space to revive him!" Reviving a World Lord's life is a trivial matter, Zuoshanke would naturally not personally handle it. Originally, according to the Zuoshanke's personality, it would be impossible for him to revive Feng Yunruo, but who told Lu Yan'an to also be a Yuan Planet person! Then, the space inside the tower trembled slightly, and its figure disappeared into this space.

Only Lu Yan'an and Pu Ti remained in the main hall, quietly pondering the words left behind by the Zuoshanke.

"Step back behind me. I'm about to use Reverse Time and Space, so stay out of my range," Pu Ti reminded Lu Yan'an, who seemed to be still thinking.

"Okay!" Lu Yan'an nodded, then stopped thinking about it and transformed into Flowing Light, flying behind Pu Ti while looking over expectantly. Although Puti was Universe Overlord and could even Control Space-Time the secrets of the World Tree, Innate Secret Technique was ultimately just an Innate Secret Technique. This method of Reverse Time and Space to bring life back was more like a privilege granted to every cosmic lord by the Universe Origin Will Universe Master the universe. The two methods of Control Space-Time might produce the same result, but their essence was completely different.

Moreover, Reverse Time and Space would cause such a commotion that even the Universe Master be injured. If he were seriously injured, it would be a rare opportunity for the enemy to kill him.

Therefore, the Universe Master usually perform these techniques in secret.

Unless it has great trust in someone, or the backlash from using it is minor, it rarely allows other powerful figures to watch. For someone like Pu Ti, who merely resurrected a World Lord Level being, the impact and backlash on it were almost negligible. Moreover, it naturally considered Lu Yan'an, who was its "quasi-junior brother," as one of its own. Therefore, it felt no pressure at all about Lu Yan'an watching it Reverse Time and Space!

"Buzz... buzz buzz buzz..." A faint buzzing sound came from the Snake-man's mouth as it calmly looked around.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Within a certain radius, time began to rapidly reverse! It was like a movie playing in reverse, and at an extremely fast speed, quickly returning to the time before Feng Yunruo underwent the life-and-death inheritance. Time reversed rapidly, everything seemed like an illusion. The reversing time suddenly stopped, and the surrounding spacetime, which had been constantly reversing and changing, also abruptly stopped.

In this frozen space-time, Pu Ti was having a conversation with Feng Yunruo, and it seemed that Pu Ti was explaining the life-and-death inheritance of the Star Tower.

In the reversed time and space, everything is an illusion.

Only the Universe Master Pu Ti, is real.

"Feng Yunruo." Pu Ti's gaze fell on Feng Yunruo.

Come, child!

Pu Ti called out softly, and an invisible force immediately protected Feng Yunruo.

"Return to time and space."

Boom...

The surrounding spacetime, which had originally regressed to this moment, quickly began to return to normal.

It's like a spring that keeps turning and turning. When it reaches a certain point, it will automatically turn back and start spinning again!

It's like a bullet! You keep pressing down, pressing down, pressing down, but once you stop pressing, the bullet bounces back!

This is a rebound!

The universe itself has the ability to self-recover. When the Universe Master performs "Reverse Time and Space", the universe itself will begin to return to its original state! Everything that has passed at each point in time Reverse Time and Space should no longer exist in the present. If it is forcibly protected, it will naturally suffer a backlash from the universe.

"Aaaaaah..." Feng Yunruo roared as time and space reversed, and invisible forces rapidly acted on him time and time again.

But Pu Ti calmly watched this scene. It protected Feng Yunruo, allowing the power of the cosmic backlash to be transmitted to it through Feng Yunruo. As the dignified Universe Master, it was fully capable of resisting this power of the cosmic backlash.

"Aaaaaah..." Feng Yunruo screamed in agony.

Pain!

During the time reversal, the universe unleashed wave after wave of backlash, each wave powerful enough to easily annihilate him! Reverse Time and Space to resurrect is a violation of the laws of the universe, and it will be punished. Yet, this punishment is one that the Universe Master willingly bears!

Time and spacetime are reversing.

The events of the past few years have been reversed before, and now they are being sped up and played back. Everything else is just an illusion, except for Pu Ti and Feng Yunruo, who remain eternally unchanged, traversing through each point in time.

Moment--

The reversal of time and space finally stopped.

Everything returned to normal, and we finally returned to our original timeline.

"I, this, this... I failed in my inheritance?" Feng Yunruo stood there blankly, looking around.
