Within the starry sky territory of the Wild Universe Country, in a vast God Kingdom located in a 'Space Interlayer' corresponding to a certain star field.

Atop a mountain range stretching over a million kilometers, stands a colossal temple, its golden light illuminating the entire God Kingdom.

Humans and Zerg Warrior lived together in the temple in an unusually harmonious manner.

On the highest level of the temple, a Golden-Robed Man appeared, his expression grave. "Master, there is important intelligence."

Before the Golden-Robed Man, tens of thousands of golden Zerg immortal warriors stood in formation, Zerg Mother Nest, which was over ten kilometers high.

"What intelligence?" A gentle voice echoed in the hall, as if massaging the soul and making one feel as if immersed in warm lake water.

The Golden-Robed Man looked at the Zerg Mother Nest with reverence and said, "It's news about Jiang Yao, the strongest human genius in 700,000 epochs that we previously ranked as number one."

"Jiang Yao?"

The gentle voice paused for a moment, then asked, "Is the rumor that he has comprehended the Path of the Beast God confirmed?"

"Yes, Master," the Golden-Robed Man hurriedly replied, "He has passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge! Moreover... moreover, he has comprehended more than one of the Path of the Beast God, and can unleash the Fusion Law Light-Time, Fire-Space! He has already been accepted as a disciple by the Chaos City Lord!"

"Two Fusion Law?" The Mother Emperor's voice was filled with surprise and doubt.

The Golden-Robed Man said somewhat anxiously, "It seems that your decision to position it as number one was indeed prescient, Master. When Kedi first went to Chaos City, after comprehending the Chaos Stele, he passed through the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge in one go!"

"Jiang Yao can be said to have achieved the second-best result after Kedi among the cosmic-level geniuses who have crossed the Heavenly Bridge since its establishment. Although he spent a year in the Initial Universe, it is evident how monstrous his talent is."

"I believe Jiang Yao is already a super genius, second only to Kedi and the Venerable Shihuo, far surpassing Yinfu and the Seven Sword King. We must eliminate him as soon as possible."

The Mother Emperor's gentle voice soothed the Golden-Robed Man's anxiety. "I remember that Venerable Shihuo became Domain Lord within a few hundred years because he possessed the rare life form Yingtuo. Then he was absorbed into the Giant Axe Coliseum and became a disciple of the Virtual Gold Master. He passed the ninth level on his first attempt at Heavenly Bridge, but he had other encounters afterward."

"When Kedi was conceived, his soul was integrated with the top core material of the Origin Treasure, 'Heavenly Calamity Crystal'. His consciousness could delve into the Origin Land at any time to comprehend the laws, far surpassing that of ordinary World Lords. This is why he was able to leave others in the dust when it came to Law Comprehension. After being absorbed into the Virtual Universe Company, he crossed the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain within a few hundred years."

"Both of these experiences are unique and cannot be replicated, so don't panic."

The Golden-Robed Man was calmed down. "Yes, Master."

"As for comprehending two Fusion Law at the cosmic level... that is extremely rare among the Human Race."

The Mother Emperor's voice turned serious. "Comprehending the Path of the Beast God is nothing to be surprised about. Whether one can accept the Beast God Inheritance, and to what level one can accept it, are all unknowns. However, Jiang Yao is indeed quite abnormal. He can use the Fusion Law even though his comprehension of the Origin Law has not reached the level of Immortal God. I'm afraid this is caused by some powerful unknown encounter."

Before the Golden-Robed Man could reply, a figure appeared in the hall.

He was a bald man wearing golden armor, his bare body completely covered in dark gold scales.

"Aosa, any news from the Junk Starfield?"

The bald man, whom the Mother Emperor called Aosa, exclaimed with excitement, "Master, it's news about No. 1!"

"Jiang Yao? I've already spoken to my master." The Golden-Robed Man looked displeased.

"I have a secret message to report to my master!" the bald man said respectfully. "Didn't Jiang Yao possess the Inheritance Token of Yedier? It was obtained by Youyuan Venerable after the preliminary rounds of the Genius Tournament, and Youyuan Venerable then bestowed upon Jiang Yao two Beast God Statue for him to study."

"Beast God Statue?" The Mother Emperor's voice was somewhat surprised. "I see. But a statue that can allow a cosmic-level little guy to comprehend the Beast God Intent is definitely not an ordinary statue. It is extremely precious. However, her friend Guluo Venerable, is a powerful Beast God Inheritor and has always stayed in the Ancestral God Sect. It is not surprising that he could produce such a treasure."

The bald man's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Master, Jiang Yao can use the Fusion Law just by comprehending the Beast God Statue. His talent in the Path of the Beast God is absolutely rare in the history of the Human Race. If he can do this by comprehending the Beast God Statue, he will definitely be even more terrifying if he receives the Beast God Inheritance. In terms of threat level, he far exceeds the Seven Sword King. We must kill him as soon as possible!"

The Golden-Robed Man nodded in agreement.

Due to their lower Gene Level, the Human Race has a far smaller number of Invincible King-level and Universe Overlord compared to other top races.

However, if one cultivates the Path of the Beast God to its peak, even without comprehending the Heart of the Beast God, one will definitely be Top Universe Overlord.

Therefore, compared to geniuses who are extremely talented in the Origin Law, those who are talented in the Path of the Beast God pose a greater threat.

He has a Law Comprehension the laws of nature, and without any other extraordinary opportunities, he could at most become a powerful figure like Youyuan Venerable.

If one possesses talent in the Path of the Beast God, it is possible to reach the level of the Heavenly Erosion Palace Master.

As for the Universe Master, he is too ethereal, with a probability as low as zero. Whether it is Fusion Law or comprehending the two superior laws, it is extremely difficult.

Moreover, compared to ordinary Universe Master, the Top Universe Overlord of the elite races are even more intimidating because they can be resurrected.

Even though the possibility of Jiang Yao reaching the level of "Seventh Level Inheritor of the Path of the Beast God" is extremely slim, he is still considered a considerable threat in their eyes.

The Mother Emperor's voice was gentle and serene, overpowering the murderous aura of the tens of thousands of Zerg immortal warriors. "Aosa, your information was timely, well done. I have my own arrangements for Jiang Yao's matter. You may all leave."

Inside a massive mansion in Chaos City.

Clad in a black robe and shrouded in a misty haze, Youyuan Venerable stood in the courtyard, gazing at the torn spaces in the sky. "It's been a very, very long time since I've returned to Chaos City. My former residence was where Tianheng lived, but for now, I'll be staying here with you."

The King Jingluo, dressed in white, smiled bitterly to himself, but his expression remained extremely respectful. "Uncle-Master has finally returned to Chaos City; you may stay here as long as you wish."

Youyuan Venerable looked at Jiang Yao, who was standing to the side, and smiled, "Why are you being so respectful? You are now my junior brother. Sit down. The news that you have passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge has spread throughout the 1008 Universe Country and the five major powers in the past few days."

"Hmph, before, when I said you were the strongest genius in hundreds of thousands of epochs, there were quite a few people in the Giant Axe Coliseum who disagreed, believing that the Seven Sword King was no less than you. Now there should be no more debate."

Seeing Jiang Yao's puzzled expression, King Jingluo smiled and explained, "The Genius Tournament is hosted alternately by my Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Coliseum. The preliminary rounds for each Universe Country are the same, but the final showdown is different."

"The Genius Tournament and Strongest Battle elimination tournament held by my Virtual Universe Company has been changed from a three-round elimination tournament in the Blood Slaughter Sea, which imitated the Giant Axe Coliseum 700,000 epochs ago, to a one-round elimination tournament in the Trial Tower."

"The Peak Battle elimination round of the Giant Axe Coliseum is held across nine islands in the Blood Slaughter Sea, selecting the top 7,300 to enter the arena battle."

"However, in terms of difficulty, it is generally acknowledged that the Trial Tower elimination tournament of my Virtual Universe Company is the most difficult. The Trial of the Blood Slaughter Sea Nine Islands in the Giant Axe Coliseum lasts for a year, and the ranking is determined after a year. However, the Trial Tower of my Virtual Universe Company has no time limit. Of course, theoretically the maximum is 490 days, but the rule is that the trial ends after everyone is eliminated!"

"Therefore, it is called the Trial Elimination Tournament that no one can pass. In the past 700,000 epochs, no one has been able to pass the Seventh Trial Tower. However, in the past hundreds of thousands of epochs, two people have passed through the Blood Slaughter Sea of Giant Axe Coliseum."

"In the end, the Trial Tower and the Blood Slaughter Sea cannot be directly compared, and their focuses are also different. However, the Heavenly Bridge is something that all human geniuses can do. The Seven Sword King were directly absorbed into the Giant Axe Coliseum, but on their first attempt at the Heavenly Bridge, they only barely made it past the fourth level, far inferior to you..."

"So now you are not only the most dazzling genius of the Human Race, but also the primary target of the Alien Race want to eliminate you as soon as possible." Youyuan Venerable interrupted King Jingluo: "Therefore, you must become stronger as soon as possible. The weaker you are, the more methods the Alien Race will have to eliminate you, and the easier it will be."

Youyuan Venerable looked at Jiang Yao: "During this thousand years, I will teach you about the Law Essence of the first three diagrams of the Universe Chaos Stele, and about the Path of the Beast God. Every 10 years, someone will go to your manor on Yuxiang Mountain. You can accumulate any questions you have and ask them for guidance."

"As for the secret manual of the Path of the Beast God," Youyuan Venerable laughed, "If you were my disciple, I could naturally buy the first three levels and give them to you. However, now that you've become my junior brother, it won't be so easy."

Jiang Yao smiled wryly, "Senior Sister, the points required for the first level of the <Suishen Secret Code> and <Star God Six Transformations> far exceed my capacity. Do you expect me to comprehend the Path of the Beast God on my own?"

"Actually, self-comprehension isn't impossible," Jiang Yao thought to himself. "But Bizhang only knows the 'what' of the Fusion Law, not the 'why.' To me, he's at most a Chaos Stele to the Fusion Law. If I want to comprehend it faster, it's best to have relevant secret texts as a reference."

However, given the discerning eyes of the Chaos City Lord and Youyuan Venerable, they could certainly see Bizhang's extraordinary nature. Was this perhaps a test of Bizhang Zhang's abilities? To see how far his understanding of the Fusion Law could go with Bizhang's help alone?

Youyuan Venerable looked at Jiang Yao with a half-smile, "Junior brother, if you sell me the Inheritance Token of Yedier, you'll naturally have the money to buy the secret manual of the Path of the Beast God."

Seeing Jiang Yao's expression falter, Youyuan Venerable snorted lightly, "Your ambition is quite large. Teacher was right after all. Alright, I don't want your Inheritance Token. I can give you the <Suishen Secret Code> and the first level of <Star God Six Transformations>, but not as a gift. Consider it a favor, and you will have to repay me in the future."

"But—" Youyuan Venerable's expression turned serious. "To outsiders, just say that you have given me the Yedier Inheritance Communication Talisman you obtained, understand?"

Seeing Jiang Yao nod, Youyuan Venerable softened his tone. "This Inheritance Token is not something you can keep now. As long as it's in your hands, not only will Alien Race covet it, but many people even within humanity. Even if you are a disciple of the master, Inheritance Token in my hands will save you a lot of trouble."

"Thank you for your help, Senior Sister!" Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief; this was definitely the best way to deal with the Inheritance Token.

Youyuan Venerable laughed and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to thank me. This is the second favor I can ask you for. You can't refuse in the future. Don't worry, I'll definitely have to wait until you've grown to a certain level before I can trouble you."
