Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal

"You were born at the wrong time."

Jiang Yao scratched his head; this was the second time he had heard someone say he was born at the wrong time, the first being at the Yanhe branch.

He naturally understood the meaning of this statement—he had risen too late, at least in the context of the Genius Tournament.

The greatest weakness of the human race is their low level of bodily genetic potential. This means that under normal circumstances, whether they are Stellar Level or Universe Level geniuses, they only have one tool to comprehend the laws: their domain. One must reach at least the eighth level of a domain to vaguely sense the fluctuations of the laws.

How brilliant and talented were Hong and Thor? Both were geniuses who possessed domains while still at the Planetary Level.

Yet, in the Genius Tournament, because they had not comprehended even a sliver of the origin laws, they could not go very far. One ranked over five thousand in the world region, and the other was a combat genius cultivated by a top-tier World Lord to reach the sixth level of a domain, capable of defeating those at the seventh level. Although he made it into the top one thousand of the world region, he was quickly eliminated in the arena battles.

And Luo Feng, whose domain was one level lower than Hong's, was able to rank in the top one thousand of the universe country without any pressure.

All of this was because they had not comprehended the origin laws.

No matter how high one's natural talent is, or how high one's comprehension in terms of laws, if one cannot sense the fluctuations of the laws, it is all in vain. This is an innate limitation of humanity.

To break this limitation, one must either possess the body of a lifeform like a Starry Sky Behemoth, or another special lifeform highly compatible with a certain origin law, or enter a world like the Primal Universe where the origin laws are completely exposed, or have other fortuitous encounters.

In the universe, there are lucky individuals obtaining miraculous encounters every moment, but the probability of it happening to any specific person is infinitely close to zero.

Even the most outstanding genius in the history of the Lingtong Race took eight hundred years just to raise their domain to the eighth level. What could three hundred years accomplish?

If not for the Nine Transformations of the Desolate God, Jiang Yao would also have to honestly improve his domain and then, through a domain of at least the eighth level, attempt to sense the vague, stingily hidden fluctuations of the laws in the Primal Universe.

Beiqiong seemed worried that Jiang Yao might feel frustrated, so he praised him: "Although you rose too late, you shouldn't easily give up on this Genius Tournament. From your choice to go to Yuluo Island, it's clear you don't intend to give up."

"The life energy on Yuluo Island is extremely dense, making it a veritable holy land for cultivation. Furthermore, there are countless insights into domains from Universe Level and Domain Lord level experts on the island. Your cultivation on Yuluo Island will be of great benefit to the improvement of your domain! Although it is difficult to achieve quick success in domain improvement, it will certainly be faster on Yuluo Island than anywhere else."

"My teacher speaks very highly of your choice. In 17 years, if no other World Lord elders take you as a disciple during the selection process, he will take you as his student. World Lord Nawen is a peak existence who has been acknowledged by the origin laws; in the entire Holy Land, apart from the clan leader, no one has higher achievements than him."

"It's just that my teacher comprehends the origin laws of water, while you have a fire domain. Your paths are different; otherwise, he would take you as his disciple right now!"

"You are still young. If you don't get good results in the Genius Tournament held by the Virtual Universe Company in 300 years, then 5,000 years later, in the Genius Tournament held by the Giant Axe Coliseum, with your talent, you will surely be able to show your skills."

Jiang Yao did not expect that his choice to go to Yuluo Island to search for law-related secret techniques and insights would be interpreted by Beiqiong and that World Lord teacher as a clever decision.

Although he was grateful for their overthinking, he could only politely decline the arrangements made by this World Lord.

In another 5,000 years, if he were still suppressed at the Stellar Level, the grass on his grave would likely be five kilometers long.

To say he wasn't coveting that fifth-tier mental weapon worth hundreds of billions of universe coins would be a lie. Whether it was the improvement of the Xu Yuan Space or the cultivation of the Desolate God origin secret techniques, both required vast amounts of wealth.

However, as someone who had already stepped into the threshold of the origin laws, he would be able to obtain it through the normal, predetermined procedures. Why waste the compensation given to him by his sect on something that was destined to be his? Wouldn't that be a waste of an opportunity?

The most urgent task at hand was to raise the Xu Yuan Space to the second level as quickly as possible. Once that was done, there would be no need to continue staying in the Jiuyuan Holy Land. Once he could transform into Bizhang, he would at least possess the combat power of a Domain Lord, and his growth would enter the fast lane. By then, no barriers would be able to restrain him.

In the Virtual Universe network, on a floating continent.

A man dressed in golden robes entered a grand hall via a staircase paved with bluestone.

On the dais of the grand hall sat a tall, thin figure in black robes wearing a bronze mask, radiating an invisible pressure that made people fearful.

"Jinlun pays his respects to Zhenxuan King."

The person in the bronze mask, honored as Zhenxuan King, spoke in an indifferent voice: "You are Jinlun? You said you had an important matter to report, which is why I gave you this opportunity. If you are disturbing me for something unimportant, you will pay a heavy price."

The man in golden robes was none other than the leader of the four immortal gods of Yinhu Island, one of the six great holy lands of the Kasolo Empire, known as Jinlun God Lord. Of course, this was the respectful title given to him by those below the immortal level; he certainly would not, and dared not, use such a title in front of this powerful god wearing a bronze mask.

Thus, this ruler, who held immense majesty on Yinhu Island, spoke in a respectful and humble tone at this moment.

"How would Jinlun dare? There is indeed an important matter to report."

Jinlun God Lord spoke with a steady tone: "Ever since I was expelled from the clan twenty thousand epochs ago for committing a grave mistake, I have established a force in the Kasolo Empire called Yinhu Island."

Zhenxuan King did not react; what was the Kasolo Empire or some holy land? To him, these were meaningless things.

"I have a World Lord subordinate named Mo Hong who once trained on the outer-universe battlefield. Not long ago, because he requested my protection, he reported an extremely important matter to me. He once accidentally obtained a treasure from a deceased Tumen Race World Lord—the Junxiang Bead. This item can improve an individual's genetic potential."

"Oh?" Zhenxuan King showed a slight interest.

"This Junxiang Bead seems to be a treasure born in a certain secret realm, later obtained by a Tumen Race powerhouse. It can extract the genetic material of lifeforms with up to five times the genetic potential, allowing individuals below the immortal level to raise their own genes to the multiple of the lifeform from which the genetic material was sourced."

"This Junxiang Bead can only be used three times. It has already been used twice, leaving only one last chance."

"The Tumen Race... I remember they are a vassal race of the Demon Race? They have always wanted to be incorporated into the Demon Race, but their bodily genes are too poor, and they have never been favored by the Demon Race. Is this Junxiang Bead the important matter you speak of?"

Zhenxuan King's tone not only returned to indifference but also carried a trace of anger.

Jinlun God Lord quickly said: "Naturally not. It is just that my subordinate, Mo Hong, discovered the soul crystal of the original owner within the Junxiang Bead. The original owner's father was a Tumen Race immortal god and the second owner of the Junxiang Bead. He used the Junxiang Bead once to improve his own genetic potential and later passed it on to his offspring, wanting his offspring to also improve their genetic potential before reaching the immortal level."

"After checking the soul crystal, I discovered a memory—it was the words of that Tumen Race immortal to his offspring, telling him not to rush to break through to the immortal level after successfully using the Junxiang Bead to improve his genetic potential, as he would bestow upon him a treasure to inherit."

As he spoke, Jinlun God Lord displayed an image.

It was a transparent crystal in the shape of a multi-faceted sphere, with geometric surfaces that were extremely smooth, giving a sense of natural perfection.

Zhenxuan King's eyes suddenly shot out sharp glints, and the aura permeating his body suddenly surged, causing Jinlun God Lord's face to turn pale.

"Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal?"

Jinlun God Lord nodded with difficulty: "It is very likely to be a Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal. And since that Tumen Race immortal wanted his offspring, who was still at the World Lord level, to inherit it, and World Lord lifespans are limited, this inheritance must be happening soon."

Zhenxuan King narrowed his eyes: "The Tumen Race is a vassal race of the Demon Race. Even if I am a King-level immortal, it is difficult to do anything about them, unless that Tumen Race immortal is on the outer-universe battlefield? Do you know his exact location on the outer-universe battlefield?"

Jinlun God Lord shook his head: "That Tumen Race immortal fell seven hundred years ago."

Zhenxuan King seemed about to get angry, but Jinlun God Lord remained calm.

"However, I know who killed that Tumen Race immortal."

"The one who killed that Tumen immortal is named Jiuyuan!"
