The Legacy of the Lord of the Universe (Part 1)

On Venus, Luo Zhiyuan sat cross-legged, hovering in the main control room of his spacecraft. In the palm of his right hand, he clutched the world ring left to him by the Light Beast God, his eyes fixed intently on the direction of Earth in the virtual projection. He pondered his future path, his gaze shifting from confusion to longing, until it finally hardened into resolve; the look of uncertainty vanished from his eyes entirely.

He gripped the ring tightly and whispered in a voice only he could hear: "A tree that fills the arms grows from a tiny sprout; a nine-story terrace rises from a pile of earth."

"Although this world is magnificent and colorful, it is filled with danger at every turn. If I want to hold up a sky of freedom for Earth and roam the universe at will, I must grow into a top-tier powerhouse of the human race."

"Otherwise, even someone as strong as the Light Beast God—a master of the universe—can end up hunted by many. Without sufficient personal strength and the protection of a corresponding faction, my goals will never be realized."

"I must rapidly increase my strength, enter the core circle of the human race in the universe, and grow step by step until no one can ever stand in my way again!"

"Earth is not just the place where my life began in this lifetime; it is my root. When I am strong enough one day, perhaps I can try to see if I can return... Hmph, I can't even say it out loud!"

"Forget it, I won't think about the distant future for now. Let me see what treasures Senior Chenxi left for me. I just hope the starting threshold for those treasures isn't too high; if there's nothing I can use right now, that would be a tragedy."

Luo Zhiyuan enveloped the world ring with his spiritual energy and used the special decryption method taught to him by the Light Beast God to break the seal. Since the Light Beast God's mental imprint had already dissipated, the ring was ownerless, and he completed the process of claiming it as his own in a few moments.

Suddenly, an exceptionally furious voice erupted in his mind: "You old charlatan! You've gone too far! You actually sealed me away for such a long time! I don't even know how many epochs have passed since I was last awake. Are you trying to drive me insane?! Ahhhhhh~"

Hearing this incessant, angry roar, Luo Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment before he recalled the artificial intelligence mentioned by the Light Beast God. It seemed this was that very intelligence; he hoped they could get along well in the future.

Luo Zhiyuan responded in his consciousness: "Senior, hello. I am Luo Zhiyuan. Senior Chenxi has passed away, and he left the world ring you reside in and his other belongings to me. We will be together from now on, so please take care of me."

The voice in his consciousness stopped shouting abruptly. After a long silence, Luo Zhiyuan, unsure of what was happening, cautiously asked in his mind: "Senior, are you alright?"

"Oh, oh, I'm fine, perfectly fine. It's truly wonderful to be out of that seal. Hmm, indeed, I can no longer sense that old charlatan's mental imprint. It seems he really is dead. If that's the case, you must be the mysterious life form he was always obsessing over, right?"

"Not bad, you're very polite, I like that! But don't be too formal; I don't like stiff, rigid talk. Also, don't call me 'Senior.' I don't want to be called old. Just call me Bulieni."

"By the way, kid Luo, I'm annoyed by the auxiliary light brain and programs in that trashy space wristband of yours. I've destroyed them all. Now that you have me, you don't need that garbage."

Luo Zhiyuan's mouth twitched a few times upon hearing this, feeling utterly helpless. It seemed he would have to find a way to explain this to Luo Feng and Babata later; his head already ached.

"Right, kid Luo, what exactly did that old charlatan tell you? Even though he could foresee certain things, it seems you managed to stump him. He couldn't see through your origins, so what exactly is your background?"

"I asked him back then, and even he couldn't figure it out. Can you tell me about it? I don't even know how many epochs I was sealed away by that old charlatan. Give me a rough idea of the current situation, too."

Although Bulieni's voice didn't sound significantly different, Luo Zhiyuan could still sense the deep bond between him and Senior Chenxi. After all, calling the Light Beast God an "old charlatan" was a clear sign of their closeness.

Luo Zhiyuan knew that Bulieni was likely still grieving. A companion of countless years was gone, never to be seen or teased again. Even if one knew that day would eventually come, it was never easy to accept it immediately.

After all, Bulieni was an artificial intelligence, not a mere auxiliary program. He possessed his own emotions; aside from his life form being different from humans, he was no different in terms of feelings. Bulieni asking Luo Zhiyuan to talk was likely just a way to shift his own emotions.

Luo Zhiyuan did not hide anything and told Bulieni everything he could. As for his specific origins, the laws of the universe suppressed him, making it impossible to speak of them.

Upon learning that Luo Zhiyuan possessed a foresight ability similar to the Light Beast God, Bulieni said happily: "Oh ho, that guy always bragged about his foresight, claiming he was the only one in the universe capable of it. Look at that, you can do it too, can't you?"

"It's a pity I can't strike him down now, otherwise I would definitely mock him mercilessly. Let's see if he'd still act like he's the only one in heaven and earth, haha!"

Rubbing his face, Luo Zhiyuan said embarrassedly: "I can't compare to Senior Chenxi. I only know about some special events that will happen in the future, and most of them are within the human domain. Senior Chenxi could freely view the future of any place; I'm far behind him."

"Alright, alright, no need to suck up to the old charlatan. That old thing has already vanished into smoke, and I have no way to compete with him anymore."

"By the way, you said you've already stepped into the threshold of the two great laws of Light and Time, right? The old charlatan fused these two laws seamlessly and, combined with his own unique secret techniques, achieved that foresight."

"I know his secret technique very well. Once you cultivate to the level of a Universe Master, you can try to practice it. Perhaps you can reach his level."

"Come, let me check your current situation. The old charlatan left behind many good things. I'll find the ones most suitable for you so your strength can advance by leaps and bounds!"

After Bulieni finished speaking, a wave scanned Luo Zhiyuan from head to toe. Then, he began shouting in Luo Zhiyuan's consciousness: "Wow, no way, kid Luo?! You're only a Planet-level stage six spirit reader?"

"This... your cultivation is way too low!"

"This is going to be tricky. Although your talent is excellent, and, oh? Your physical condition is also quite good—it's the peak bloodline, capable of growing to the peak of the World Lord level without any obstacles."

"But there really aren't many treasures here that are suitable for those below the Undying level. I need to organize things and see how to maximize the efficiency of your strength growth. Wait for me a moment."

Bulieni's long string of words left Luo Zhiyuan completely bewildered.

The peak bloodline? Luo Zhiyuan was confused. How did he become the peak bloodline? Wasn't this body just a normal Earthling's? Oh, right—if it were truly a normal Earthling body, it wouldn't possess three innate secret techniques.

However, he really hadn't expected that this body of his was actually the peak bloodline, equivalent to that of a Golden Horned Behemoth, already surpassing the highest bloodline of the current human race. Now, his growth speed would be greatly increased.

The highest bloodline of the human race could reach the peak of the Domain Lord level after reaching adulthood, after which one had to cultivate diligently to continue advancing.

As for him, even if he just lazed around, he could reach the peak of the World Lord level! However, he didn't know how much time it would take to reach the peak of the World Lord level by lazing around, and his goal was not something a mere World Lord could achieve. He had to cultivate hard and not waste time.

PS: Here is half a chapter first—well, half a chapter by my standards. Compared to those who only update 2K words, this is definitely enough for a full chapter, hehe.

Also, I see some brothers saying I update too little. I feel wronged! Six days, plus this chapter, that's 75,000 words total. That's really not a small amount!

Brothers, don't be impatient. I haven't fully sorted out my train of thought yet. I discovered I dug a hole for myself, and I won't feel comfortable until I smooth it out!

Additionally, I noticed that some friends from QQ Reading also cast recommendation votes, which was quite unexpected. However, I first published on Qidian, so I hope those brothers can come to Qidian to add it to their favorites and cast a recommendation vote to boost the popularity.

Also, everyone, please show more passion. The inheritance of a Universe Master has been brought out; can't you be a bit more supportive?

Favorites, recommendation votes—let's have more! Let's see if I can sign a contract with the website. Brothers, give me a push, thank you!
