The Initial Universe, the Chaos City Lord's Mansion.

Led by a waiter, Tang Ping walked through layers of ancient corridors and finally arrived at a quiet courtyard.

At the entrance to the courtyard stands a dark Black Stone Stele, its surface mottled, engraved with three powerful and ancient seal characters. "Chaos Ruins," the characters seemingly imbued with the Chaos aura of antiquity.

"King Anle, the city lord is waiting in the courtyard." The attendant bowed respectfully, stopping before the monument, not daring to overstep the bounds.

Tang Ping nodded slightly and stepped into the courtyard.

Boom!

A deafening roar exploded in my mind, and time and space suddenly twisted.

One moment it was the ornate and painted courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, the next moment Tang Ping felt the world spinning, the bluestone slabs under his feet turned into a cold and desolate land, and the tranquility around him was replaced by boundless desolation.

He found himself in a vast, desolate world. As far as the eye could see, endless ruins lay scattered with corpses.

Some corpses were as large as floating planets, with bare bones and remaining scales that still shimmered with an eerie light; others were as small as ants, even shorter than ordinary humans. But whether they were enormous or tiny, all the corpses exuded a terrifying aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Tang Ping composed himself and walked step by step across the endless ruins. With each step, he could feel the lingering carnage and despair of the ancient battlefield.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a burly figure stood silently in the void ahead.

It was a man nearly three meters tall, with a straight and upright figure like a pine tree. He wore an extremely complex and ancient Dark Red War Armor, which was covered with fine runes and scratches from swords and spears, clearly indicating that he had experienced countless life-and-death battles. He wore Black Battle Boots, and a tail covered with Dark Gold Scale Armor slowly hung down from under his battle skirt. The tip of the tail would occasionally tremble slightly, bringing with it wisps of fluctuations in the laws of nature.

The moment Tang Ping's gaze fell upon that figure, his soul trembled.

At first, he only saw a concrete human figure, but in an instant, that figure Earth Aspect, transforming into endless cosmic laws in his eyes. The magnificent and vast torrent of laws surged endlessly, and every strand of law was wrapped with an extremely cold killing aura, as if it wanted to completely crush his soul.

Terrifying! Is this the true power of the Chaos City Lord?

"Tang Ping?" A seemingly ordinary voice, yet one that appeared to contain the essence of the universe, rang out.

"Greetings, Lord City Lord." Tang Ping snapped out of his daze, bowed deeply, and greeted the Lord with utmost respect.

From the heart!

"Your Nether Sea Clone quite special." The Chaos City Lord turned around, his gaze falling on Tang Ping. His eyes were as deep as the starry sky, seemingly able to see through everything. A slight smile played on his lips. "Moreover, your understanding of the Space-Time Laws far surpasses that of others at the same level, which is quite rare."

Tang Ping stood with his head bowed, listening respectfully.

"I've seen the videos of your battles in the Virtual Universe," the Chaos City Lord said slowly. "You've mastered the Origin Law of Time and Space to a high degree, and even grasped the two core applications of Time Acceleration and spatial Teleportation. To have reached this level in just a few thousand years is something to be proud of."

He paused briefly, then changed the subject. "But your biggest problem is that you haven't grasped the essence of the laws. This will make your subsequent cultivation difficult, and may even cause you to hit a bottleneck. Many beings within the clan are not very optimistic about your potential."

Tang Ping understood.

"However, I have a close relationship with Lord of Peng Gong, so I naturally trust his judgment." The Chaos City Lord then changed the subject, "Previously, Wind-Thunder Venerable applied for free access to the Wind-Thunder Chaos Stele for you. I will create a private space for you, and you can enter directly with your token."

He continued, "As a form of support for geniuses from our clan, I will bestow upon you two additional opportunities: free access to the Universe Chaos Monument and the complete book of my <Essays on Space-Time>."

"Thank you, Lord City Lord!" Tang Ping's eyes suddenly lit up as he happily responded. He had been worried that although his master's Wind-Thunder Chaos Stele could help him perfect the Space Law and make his path to becoming a Time Venerable smooth, he still needed the last piece of the puzzle to Control of Space-Time and break through to become the Lord of Cosmic Judgment.

Now, with the blessing of the Universe Chaos Monument, and the "Essays on Space-Time" personally written by the Chaos City Lord, this last shortcoming has been completely filled!

"No need for thanks, it's all for the sake of the clan." The Chaos City Lord's tone became solemn. "Although I am not your master, as someone who has been through it all, I have a few words of advice for you. The secret techniques of others are ultimately the crystallization of their wisdom. Blindly imitating and borrowing them will only lead to inferior results."

"In the heat of battle, the slightest difference can lead to a world of difference; and the path to true strength has never been one where simply copying someone else's path leads to the top."

His eyes were sharp as knives, and he slowly uttered eight words: "Those who imitate me are vulgar, those who resemble me will die!"

Tang Ping was unconvinced, but still obediently replied, "Understood."

Seeing this, the Chaos City Lord shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. It seems that all the geniuses in the world cannot escape this common problem: they will not turn back until they hit a brick wall.

Bolan was like that, and so was Luo Feng. They clearly wanted him to specialize in the path of martial arts, but he insisted on cultivating both Spirit Reader and martial arts simultaneously. Now it seems that Tang Ping is probably the same kind of person.

This is perhaps the helplessness of the elders. They have painstakingly learned from their own bloodshed and the crucible of experience, and they painstakingly offer their advice to the younger generation for free, but young people often don't listen. They only think that their elders are nagging, old-fashioned, and out of touch with the times.

"Finally, there is a reward from the clan for geniuses." The Chaos City Lord collected his thoughts, "If you can comprehend any one of the Superior Origin Law within 100,000 epochs, the clan promises that, in addition to the original rewards remaining unchanged, once you advance to the Venerable, all the clan's secret manuals will be made available to you for free; the cost of any manual you purchase can be directly deducted from my account."

These words had already made Tang Ping's heart race, but the Chaos City Lord's next words made him gasp for breath. "If you can comprehend the Origin Law of Time and Space within tens of millions of epochs, the race will spare no effort to expand your divine body to the theoretical limit of the Venerable realm before you become the Universe Master: approximately 101 billion kilometers!"

"When that time comes, if you no longer wish to risk your life in battle, you can simply stay in your clan and resurrect the fallen warriors of our Human Race in batches every so often."

You should know that resurrecting powerful individuals is quite profitable; the resurrection fee for a High Venerable can be as high as one Supreme Treasure Point.

Over the years, it's not impossible for you to collect all the Top-tier Supreme Treasure.

The Chaos City Lord's words were all incredibly tempting; he was clearly a master of empty promises.

Tang Ping's eyes instantly lit up with an astonishing light.

He had indeed been troubled by the problem of expanding his divine body. Currently, he could only move freely in the Nether Sea Clone. If the Nether Sea Clone wanted to expand, it had to split into sub-clones, and then merge back into the sub-clones after they grew.

Not only is it time-consuming and mentally taxing, it also distracts him from comprehending the laws, seriously affecting his cultivation speed.

However, if his clan could help him complete his divine body, he would no longer need to worry about it, and his speed of comprehending the laws would definitely increase significantly!

Can one become Venerable within a million years?

The city lord underestimated his potential. Let alone a million years, with his resources and talent, it wouldn't take that long!

Of course, the most crucial point is that his Gene Multiplier may continue to increase during this period, at which point it will be much more than a matter of hundreds of billions of kilometers.

Hopefully, the city lord will still be laughing out loud then.

Hehe~

The Chaos City Lord took in the confidence and excitement in Tang Ping's eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.

This young man's expression was exactly the same as his master, Venerable Wind-Thunder Venerable, when he was young. If comprehending two superior laws were really that easy, the number of Universe Master the Human Race wouldn't be so small.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. You may leave." The Chaos City Lord waved his hand. "Furthermore, your Nether Sea Clone is far too large to remain within Chaos City. You can choose a location Chaos City to settle down there. I will designate that area as a restricted zone, where no one will dare disturb your cultivation."

"Thank you, Lord City Lord!" Tang Ping bowed again in thanks, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

Is this the treatment a group receives when it wholeheartedly supports a genius?

Cool!

With these opportunities and support, his path to becoming a powerful figure is destined to take off!
