Walking through the palace complex within the Thousand Treasures River Realm, Lu Yan'an arrived in front of the main hall where the City Lord of Chaos resided in a few flashes. In front of the main hall were some immortal attendants, and even Universe Venerable.

"Lu Yan'an seems to have a different aura now."

"It's as if all the sharpness, along with the Years sixty thousand years, has been concealed..."

The two Universe Venerable in the distance, whose cultivation levels were quite high, could still discern something that made them tremble with fear. However, the Immortal Attendants, whose cultivation levels were not high enough, could not sense anything at all. In fact, they even felt that Lu Yan'an was like a gentle breeze. Little did they know... if Lu Yan'an were to truly display his divine might, even just the divine might of this Yuan Planet True Body, it would be enough to make them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, unable to resist!

Lu Yan'an stood waiting outside the hall. Although the hall door was open, the inside seemed to be an endless Chaos, and it was impossible to see with the naked eye.

"Come in," a voice came from the main hall.

Lu Yan'an then stepped into the hall and quickly walked to the depths of the hall, where he could see the City Lord of Chaos in the distance.

"Senior Uncle." Lu Yan'an bowed respectfully.

The City Lord of Chaos looked at Lu Yan'an with a slight smile, scrutinizing him for a long time.

"It feels like so much has happened Years your sixty thousand years!" The City Lord of Chaos finally spoke after a long silence. "Have you reached the level of the Universe Supreme Being in terms of willpower?"

"Yes," Lu Yan'an replied.

"Very good, you did even better than I expected." The City Lord of Chaos nodded in satisfaction. He was very pleased, happy, and delighted. He had trained so many disciples in order to add more pillar-like powerhouses to the Human Race, and Lu Yan'an had not only met his expectations but had far exceeded them.

The City Lord of Chaos looked at Lu Yan'an seriously, and was filled with admiration. Even with his extremely discerning eye, he could not find any fault with Lu Yan'an's current strength.

In just 60,000 years, he has elevated his willpower to the level of the Universe Supreme Being. It should be noted that even most of the Universe Master within the Human Race do not possess this level of willpower, yet Lu Yan'an, a mere Venerable, has achieved such a feat—truly a miracle!

In a daze, he seemed to return to the time when the two first met. Lu Yan'an's outstanding talent and intelligence could be described as a gift from the Primal Universe to the human race.

"You're stuck at the 60,000-year mark, so it seems you intend to go to the border battlefield to participate in the final Great Decisive Battle of the tribal war?" After a long while, the City Lord of Chaos nodded slightly, seemingly mentioning it casually.

"Master Uncle, rest assured, I have prepared a complete plan for this journey! You need not worry about my safety. Moreover, my purpose in going is to make these Alien Race realize one thing—my foundation, Lu Yan'an's, is already solid, and it's too late for the Alien Race to eliminate me!"

"If your will hadn't broken through to the Universe Supreme Being, I would never have allowed you to go!" the City Lord of Chaos said. "However, since your will has already fully broken through, and your soul is no longer at risk of being enslaved or annihilated, then go! Gui Yi!"

As he spoke, the space shifted, and a bald man with a calm demeanor appeared beside Lu Yan'an. This man was Venerable Gui Yi! He was still wearing his red armor. He first nodded to Lu Yan'an, then respectfully addressed the City Lord of Chaos, saying, "Teacher."

The City Lord of Chaos nodded and instructed him, saying with a hint of mockery, "Take Lu Yan'an to the battlefield on the border of our territory. Our Venerable Huan Shi also wants to give the Alien Race a hard time!"

Venerable Gui Yi's expression remained unchanged, but he was inwardly astonished. He knew that Lu Yan'an possessed Clone of the World Tree when Lu Yan'an built his residence atop Thunder Island, but no matter how strong the World Tree Clone, it couldn't move and could only ensure its own survival. How could it possibly perform in a battlefield on the border of a territory where even the weakest were Universe Overlord?

In the event of an accident, the destruction of the Clone would be a minor matter, but if the main body were to lose the most Supreme Treasure it carries, its combat power would be greatly affected!

Of course, he wouldn't object to the City Lord of Chaos's orders, and since his junior brother also had no objections, it proved that he agreed with their teacher's arrangement. Thinking of this Venerable Gui Yi said with a smile, "Junior brother, shall we go then?"

Lu Yan'an smiled slightly and said kindly, "Thank you, Senior Brother Gui Yi."

Then the two bowed slightly to the City Lord of Chaos, and Lu Yan'an followed Venerable Gui Yi directly out of the City Lord Mansion.

Actually, he wasn't particularly obsessed with participating in this tribal war; he just wanted to make a name for himself. This tribal war provided just such an opportunity, offering a suitable opponent to help him achieve his moment of fame!

"Come on, shall we?" Venerable Gui Yi opened the God Kingdom Teleportation channel after leaving the Initial Universe.

Lu Yan'an nodded slightly and followed behind.

The space shifted, and Lu Yan'an found himself standing on a desolate planet, looking up at the starry sky. This was a star system that had been almost completely destroyed, with only a few lonely planets still hanging in the universe.

Boom!

A booming sound came from afar, and he sensed intense fluctuations of divine power outside! Even from a great distance, Lu Yan'an could still tell that there must be a battle taking place between Venerable Level experts in the distance.

Looking at Venerable Gui Yi, whose expression remained unchanged and who seemed completely unconcerned about the battle in the distance, Lu Yan'an asked curiously, "Aren't we really going to help with that battle in the distance? Judging from the clash of these divine power fluctuations, this battle seems quite intense!"

"Don't worry about it. This is the starry sky, which is why the destructive power of the Venerable feels so immense. Even at this distance, it can still be clearly felt. Moreover, the mere amount of divine power being emitted indicates that the Venerable on both sides are only engaging in minor skirmishes, far from the point of fighting to the death!"

Venerable Gui Yi replied, then jokingly said, "Junior Brother, it seems your experience fighting against Venerable and even Overlord- level powerhouses is still quite lacking! In this Great Decisive Battle, you must be careful. While trying your best to improve your combat experience, also be careful not to get surrounded by the enemy Overlord."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an nodded slightly and said, "Senior brother, don't worry! I can't speak for the Universe Ocean, but in this Primal Universe, I'm truly not afraid of this siege. Even you, senior brother, can't match me in terms of divine power consumption!"

The words of Venerable Gui Yi caught in his throat. How dare they compare him to him? He was, after all, a veteran Universe Overlord; how could his methods be simple? However, thinking about Lu Yan'an's sky-covering World Tree Clone and the fact that he possessed at least four Supreme Treasure, he realized with a touch of sadness that in a battle of attrition, he might really be no match for this junior brother.

Even with his usually calm demeanor, he couldn't help but break down and change the subject, saying, "This area borders my race's territory and the Machine Race's territory. It's located on the edge of the Huanggu Universe Kingdom. The people in this star sector have developed extremely strong bodies due to their long-term interaction with the Machine Race. After all, before you, the Machine Race was completely immune to Soul Attack!"

"We generally refer to this as the Line 44. It's the battlefront where the battles with the Venerable and Overlord of the Machine Race are most frequent. The main task of Venerable come here is usually to guard and patrol!"

"Patrol any Alien Race Venerable approaching the border, and immediately stop them upon discovery. Generally, the Virtual Universe will send a message in advance."

"You should know the consequences of failing to stop it..."

Lu Yan'an nodded heavily. He was well aware of the consequences of a Venerable One intruding into Human Territory.

Venerable Gui Yi advised, "If you find yourself outmatched, request reinforcements as soon as possible. Other Venerable will come to your aid and tighten the defensive lines. If the opponent is no match for you, try your best to eliminate them! If you find that you cannot eliminate them before their reinforcements arrive, then try your best to weaken their Divine Body!"

Lu Yan'an replied, "I will do what I can."

Seeing that Lu Yan'an seemed to have taken his words to heart, Venerable Gui Yi Guiyi stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, "The Machine Race's powerful members rarely have Clone, so if you can kill them, the pressure on their fellow race members in other directions will be less! If their reinforcements arrive, then the focus will be on attrition. After all, compared to the ease with which your World Tree's massive Divine Body replenishes its divine power, powerful members without Clone must expend enormous sums to restore their Divine Body!"

This is the strategy used by the human race on the battlefield of inter-race wars! Relying on the powerful reserves of divine power of the Clone warriors, they forcefully exchange states with the Alien Race warriors, while the warriors without Clone assist and restrain them from the sidelines. The two complement each other and form a mutually reinforcing defensive posture.
