Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Two figures emerged from a spatial vortex.

"Ah!" Lu Yan'an exclaimed in surprise.

Not far ahead, a colossal celestial body loomed in the void, its massive Universe Membrane Wall stretching out as far as the eye could see. However, this Universe Membrane Wall was extremely dilapidated; at a glance, Lu Yan'an could see hundreds of broken, irregular holes and cracks, allowing Chaos energy to flow freely through the Universe Ocean and within the Universe Membrane Wall.

"This is..." Lu Yan'an exclaimed in shock, "This is the reference Miniature Universe?"

"Yes, Miniature Universe with a diameter of about 100 million light-years. By the way, there's another basic fact I should tell you: after each Universe Master breaks through to Universe Supreme Being, the diameter of the Miniature Universe derived from their God Kingdom remains constant at about 100 million light-years."

The City Lord of Chaos, clad in golden robes, gazed at the Miniature Universe and murmured, "Look, this Miniature Universe is the Miniature Universe of the Universe Supreme Being."

Lu Yan'an nodded. Although he had obtained the map, it was too complex. He only briefly looked at some landmarks and did not examine the details.

The City Lord of Chaos looked at Lu Yan'an: "A strong person who cultivates to the highest peak becomes the Universe Supreme Being, and God Kingdom that develops to the highest peak becomes Miniature Universe. Just as an immortal falls, his God Kingdom will decay due to the loss of divine power, and once the strongest person falls, his Miniature Universe will also decay. This is beyond doubt!"

"Come on, let me show you this dilapidated Miniature Universe."

Whoosh!

In a Teleportation, Lu Yan'an, who was in shock, was moved to the edge of one of the cracks in the Universe Membrane Wall.

"Universe Membrane Wall." Lu Yan'an glanced over and saw the Chaos airflow constantly wandering and impacting the crack, causing the edges of the crack in the Universe Membrane Wall to tremble.

It passed through a rift that was over 30,000 kilometers high and several hundred kilometers wide.

"This is..." Lu Yan'an looked into the distance.

Shattered Space Fragment, within which lie fragments of the Space Fragment.

The massive mountains are floating.

Some enormous, shattered divine corpses were also floating.

"Whoosh..." A piece of the Universe Membrane Wall high in the distance broke off. At a glance, the entire universe was in the process of collapse. Occasionally, Universe Membrane Wall would break off, and those Space Fragment would occasionally collide with each other, causing them to split again and making some continents even smaller.

The entire universe is collapsing...

"The Primal Universe gave birth to billions of races and countless powerful beings. As time passed, the Primal Universe would rapidly decline and even Great Destruction after reaching its most prosperous peak! Then a new cycle of birth would begin... Each cycle would give birth to billions of races, many geniuses, some of the Universe Supreme Being, and a large number of Universe Master."

"Each cycle is incredibly long."

"Each cycle has a group of the Universe Supreme Being, and each Universe Supreme Being corresponds to a Miniature Universe."

"Miniature Universe are drifting in the Universe Ocean, drifting further and further away, many of them already beyond the scope of our exploration of the Universe Ocean. There are already 100 Miniature Universe discovered!" The City Lord of Chaos looked at the continental fragments and shattered divine corpses floating in the Chaos air currents and said slowly.

Lu Yan'an nodded slightly.

"Let's consider this cycle of reincarnation as the Third Universe Era," said the City Lord of Chaos. "Let's consider the cycle before us as the Second Universe Era, and the cycle before that as the First Universe Era."

"The entire Universe Ocean... apart from the Two Holy Lands, only three powerful figures from different cosmic eras have survived. All other reincarnations have been annihilated."

Lu Yan'an knew this information better than anyone else, especially since the Two Holy Lands had a very strong presence in the original work, and even caused considerable trouble for City Lord Luo.

"Our Third Universe Era is still in the process of reproduction, while the first two cycles have completed their full cycles, naturally producing far more powerful beings than we have," the Giant Axe Founder continued, picking up where the City Lord of Chaos left off. "Our Third Era is the weakest. The First Era was the strongest."

This is almost beyond doubt! You see, in the early stages of the universe's development, the rate at which powerful beings are born is very slow because secret techniques and other methods need to be created and perfected. The efficiency of cultivating powerful beings increases continuously as time goes on. This Third Universe Era of ours may only be halfway through its cycle. The first two cycles were complete, so the number of powerful beings is naturally different.

"However, it doesn't mean that just because they've cultivated for a longer Years, they're necessarily stronger than us! Back when the Yuan Zu was around, even the strongest madmen of the First Universe Era had to avoid us!" The Giant Axe Founder let out a hearty laugh. "Now, the Human Race has one of my ninth-tier combat strength and another of our eighth-tier Chaos strength. While we may not be invincible in the Universe Ocean, we are at least strong enough to protect the entire Human Race."

Lu Yan'an nodded slightly upon hearing this. In the past, only the Giant Axe Founder was the Universe Supreme Being. For the sake of the Human Race, he often had to endure, which made him seem somewhat isolated. Now that the City Lord of Chaos has also broken through to the strongest level, it's equivalent to relieving his worries, so it's time to take a firm stance!

"Furthermore, you don't need to treat all the powerful figures from the three cosmic eras and the Two Holy Lands as imaginary enemies. You should know that each cosmic era is not united. For example, our Third Universe Era is divided into nine super powers, twelve top powers, and so on. Similarly, the First Universe Era and Second Universe Era are divided into dozens of forces. Therefore, the network of relationships in the endless Universe Ocean can be described as extremely chaotic!" said the City Lord of Chaos.

"These are records of powerful figures from the Primal Universe, the Second Universe Era before the Great Destruction, the First Universe Era, and the Two Holy Lands." The Giant Axe Founder flipped his hand, producing a transparent crystal sphere shimmering with golden light. He solemnly stated, "These are extremely high-level information materials, collected by humanity over countless eons. Some of them involve highly confidential events. Even though our Primal Universe forces exchange information, some top secrets are still concealed. Destroy them after you've read them."

"Hmm." Lu Yan'an nodded solemnly. This time, the City Lord of Chaos and the Giant Axe Founder brought him to the Universe Ocean together, gradually explaining some information to him along the way, with the aim of attracting Lu Yan'an's attention.

If Lu Yan'an were given a large amount of information directly in the Primal Universe, Lu Yan'an might not be too wary. However, in the Universe Ocean, having witnessed the shattered universe and experienced its shock, he would pay much more attention to this information. They feared that Lu Yan'an might have brought some bad habits from his adventures in the Primal Universe into the Universe Ocean! If it were only in the Primal Universe, it wouldn't be so bad, but in the Universe Ocean, even the slightest oversight could lead to the sudden death of a powerful figure, so they had to be careful!

Holding the transparent crystal sphere in his hand, Lu Yan'an directly infused it with a wisp of divine power.

Suddenly, a flood of information began to rush into my mind...

In this collapsing universe, some divine corpses floated in the distance. The Giant Axe Founder and the City Lord of Chaos watched Lu Yan'an receiving a message. Whenever a newly ascended Universe Master from Human Race ventured into the Universe Ocean, the Giant Axe Founder or the City Lord of Chaos would lead them through a vivid "social practice lesson" to instill the word "reverence" in the hearts of each new Universe Master.

After a long while, Lu Yan'an, who had been keeping his eyes closed, finally opened them and looked at the City Lord of Chaos and the Giant Axe Founder beside him.

"How do you feel?" the Giant Axe Founder asked with a smile.

"The Universe Ocean is truly vast! No wonder one needs the strength of Universe Master to even barely venture into it; this naked law of the jungle is far more cruel than the Primal Universe!" Lu Yan'an nodded repeatedly.

After reading this classified information, and combining it with some other classified information that Lu Yan'an already knew, a sense of pressure instantly overwhelmed him. While the Universe Ocean was suitable for training, its danger level was simply too high!

"I originally planned to come after you reached the Universe Master, but although you can't defeat him, you can at least save your life," said the City Lord of Chaos. "Since there's no danger to your life, let him hone his skills a bit more; it will help you reach the Universe Master. The loss of just two Supreme Treasure is nothing compared to what you've gained!"

"That's because you don't know how wealthy my family is!" Lu Yan'an muttered to himself, but nodded outwardly. Anyway, with the "Heaven Soul" and the "Ancient God Star" by his side, he was practically safe.

"Let's go." The Giant Axe Founder took the lead, along with Lu Yan'an and the City Lord of Chaos, and with a Teleportation, they teleported away from the collapsing Miniature Universe to continue this vivid "social practice lesson."
