Looking at his disciple's pathetic state, Lord of Peng Gong's Peng Gong Divine Temple twitched, and he remained silent.

Since he wasn't one of their own personally trained disciples, it wasn't appropriate to fight him directly.

With a casual toss, a Flowing Light World Ring hurtled through the air and landed precisely in front of Tang Ping.

Lord of Peng Gong slowly sat down, his voice deep and resonant like an ancient bell. "This is a treasure bestowed by our race. The method to unlock it in the Virtual Universe has been sent to your terminal. Do you have any other requests? Please state them as well."

After a moment's thought, Tang Ping cupped his hands and bowed respectfully, saying, "Grandmaster, this disciple needs at least ten thousand Xueluo Crystal to enhance my Gene Multiplier."

In addition, all kinds of substances from the Primal Universe are needed, including flesh and blood life, Metal Lifeform, rock life, and energy life; living things, strange objects containing the origin of life, minerals, and spiritual fruits are all acceptable, as long as I can obtain even a few fragments, they will be of use to me."

"Xueluo Crystal?" Lord of Peng Gong was taken aback, his eyes filled with surprise. "You actually want Xueluo Crystal, not the Beast God Blood? And shouldn't you have already broken through the hundredfold genetic limit? What do you need these for?"

This Xueluo Crystal is a forbidden item strictly controlled by the clan. I remember back then, didn't we give your master, Venerable Wind-Thunder Venerable, a hundred drops of Beast God Blood?"

It should be noted that fusing with the Xueluo Crystal requires extraordinary physical qualities and a superhuman willpower, regardless of one's cultivation level.

He had specifically requested two hundred drops of Beast God Blood from the Lord of Chaos, giving half of it to Wind-Thunder Venerable, just so that this grand-disciple could fuse more easily.

Logically speaking, Tang Ping's Gene Multiplier should now be at least one hundred.

But below the Universe Master, the upper limit for Gene Multiplier is one hundredfold—that's an ironclad rule! Could this kid possibly break that rule and continue to improve?

"One hundred drops?" Upon hearing this number, Tang Ping's lips twitched slightly. He didn't say anything more, but with a thought, he threw a punch out of thin air.

"Boom!"

The force of the punch surged, causing the void to tremble violently, but it was firmly suppressed by the Divine Temple without causing the slightest ripple.

However, the terrifying power contained in that fist could not escape the perception of Lord of Peng Gong. 100,000x World Lord Power, multiplied by one hundred and twenty times the Gene Multiplier, was actually a full twelve million times the World Lord Power!

Upon seeing this, a golden light flashed in Lord of Peng Gong's eyes.

At this moment, he was truly amazed by the methods of the Mountain Sitting Guest. What kind of extraordinary feat was it to cultivate a race like the Earth Human Race?

His extraordinary Law Comprehension the laws, his heaven-defying willpower, and even his body, like that of the Yan God Race, can break through the limits of his genes and continue to evolve!

It seems the value of Earth needs to be increased several times over!

It's unknown whether Tang Ping is the only prodigy like this, or if such talents will continue to emerge in the future. If it's the latter—just imagining that scene would be enough to make all races in the universe tremble.

However, it's highly likely that there will only be one Tang Ping. After all, the Yan God Race can theoretically evolve to a Gene Multiplier of over ten thousand times, yet after so many epochs, hasn't only one Emperor Yan emerged?

Thinking of this, Lord of Peng Gong's mood suddenly brightened.

He originally thought that the greatest value of this grand-disciple was that the vast and boundless Nether Sea Clone could become the "resurrection spring" for the Human Race in the future, preserving the seeds of top-level combat power for the race.

However, if his Gene Multiplier can continue to increase, then his divine body on Earth, combined with Top-tier Supreme Treasure, will at least be able to rival the Emperor Yan in the future!

Third-Order Universe Master! That's the true foundation that can suppress an era and support the very basis of a race!

"Granted." Lord of Peng Gong waved his hand dismissively, agreeing readily. "When you have time, write an application and submit it; I'll approve it."

"As for the Primal Universe matter and ordinary life you want—" he paused, then added, "I will issue a special mission to send you a batch of all kinds of life and matter below the World Lord Rank every hundred years."

The Primal Universe is vast and boundless; this collection mission could take tens of thousands of years to complete.

"You're lucky. There happen to be quite a few top-notch apothecaries and blacksmiths in your clan. They've issued similar collection missions before and have plenty of backups on hand."

Of course, some rare and exotic plants can only survive in their native habitats, or even grow in the territories of Alien Race, so collecting and transporting them will take some time.

"As for special substances and Special Lifeform above the Immortal Level, you'll have to issue bounty missions yourself and collect them slowly."

Although Lord of Peng Gong couldn't understand what his grand-disciple wanted these things for, he secretly felt a sense of anticipation.

It's better if we can't understand it. If we can't understand it, it means this little guy is hiding a secret that others don't know, and this secret may be the hope for the future of Human Race.

The unknown and hope are the most fascinating aspects of this vast universe.

"Thank you, Grandmaster!" Tang Ping bowed and expressed his gratitude, overjoyed.

"Alright, you may leave." Lord of Peng Gong directly dismissed the guest, fearing that if they continued chatting, this disciple with skin thicker than a city wall would come up with some strange requests, and he wouldn't know how to explain it to the Chaos City Lord.

"Fine." Tang Ping sullenly pouted, still wondering if he should ask if he could get a sinecure and extra salary while he was in seclusion in the Initial Universe.

Seeing his Grandmaster's face suddenly turn cold and feeling the murderous aura gradually spreading in the hall, he decisively gave up the idea. If he asked any more questions, he would probably be thrown out of the Divine Temple.

Those who understand the times are wise!

As soon as he stepped out of the main hall, he was met by two guards on duty. Their eyes were full of admiration and envy as they looked at him.

Just who is this kid? He's been summoned twice by Lord of Peng Gong! You have to understand, they've been guarding the Divine Temple for millions of years, and they've hardly ever even heard the Lord's voice, let alone met him!

"Mr. Tang Ping? Your package, please sign for it."

Just then, a messenger in a silver-white uniform walked quickly, carrying a sealed box, his tone respectful.

Tang Ping's eyes lit up, and he instantly realized that the Immortal Level Cloud-Touching Vine he had ordered had arrived!

"Thank you." He took the box, casually stored it in his World Ring, and turned to the two guards with a smile, "Brothers, I've already bid farewell to Lord of Peng Gong. May we meet again someday!"

"Taking leave?" The two realm lord guards were both stunned, looking at each other blankly. Then they looked at Tang Ping as if he were a fool.

Over the years, they've seen too many people. Some have grown tired of the Divine Temple's monotony, yearning for the excitement and adventure of the outside world, clamoring to go out and explore.

In the end, most people regretted it after only a few years. The Outer Battlefield were precarious, resources were scarce, and life and death were everywhere. Even if they managed to gain some benefits, they might be coveted by the spoiled sons of powerful families, ending up dead.

But there's no going back in this world. Once you leave the Divine Temple, the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way will never accept you again. I never imagined this kid, who's only been here a few years, would follow in their footsteps. He was probably saying goodbye just now, right?

Heh, fickle-minded and ambitious. He's just a minor realm lord; even with some money and connections, he probably won't survive past the next era.

Although they were disdainful in their hearts, A-Da A-Er still wore enthusiastic smiles on their faces. "Take care on your journey, brothers. Let's get together in the Virtual Universe sometime when we have time!"

The most important thing for a guard is to be perceptive; it's better to offend a gentleman than a petty person.

Watching Tang Ping's departing figure, the smiles on their faces vanished instantly. They exchanged a glance, their disdain almost overflowing. They even separated a portion of their consciousness to log into the Virtual Universe and directly block and delete Tang Ping's contact information.

Don't ask them for money if you ever run into financial difficulties!
