The Initial Universe.

Tang Ping slowly stretched his body, feeling the surging Divine Power within him and his increasingly profound Law Comprehension, a smile playing on his lips.

With 94% progress towards the King Rank realm, the will of Venerable Level, and complete mastery of the three core branches of spacetime—such strength places him firmly invincible among Human Race King Rank experts!

In a moment of great joy, he suddenly remembered that this was another thousand years of arduous cultivation, and his muscles and bones were almost stiff from all the hard work. It was time to listen to some music, cultivate his mind, and enjoy some earthly bliss.

With a single thought, his consciousness traversed the endless void and descended upon the Platinum Temple of the Solar System.

A moment later, melodious and enchanting music filled the Divine Temple, with strings and pipes weaving together to create a beautiful and pleasant sound. Various delicacies made from rare and precious ingredients and fine wines brewed from nectar were continuously brought into the temple, filling the air with their fragrance.

Upon seeing this, the native inhabitants and staff of the Solar System immediately understood: This King Anle has emerged from seclusion again!

That guy has a notoriously bad temper. If you anger him, he'll talk back to anyone, let alone small fry like them.

As a result, the staff in each position immediately became extremely vigilant and diligent, not daring to slack off in the slightest; the alien women who had come from afar and were waiting to give birth on Earth also obediently shut their mouths, not daring to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing this evil god.

Tang Ping, however, didn't care about any of that.

He had long ago delegated all his work matters to Marquis Justice. Anything Marquis Justice couldn't handle would be submitted to him according to procedure, and the Smart Assistant Little Love would automatically approve it according to past practice.

Only in exceptional circumstances, unprecedented in history, would he need to make a decision personally.

However, since the Alien Race forces that occupied the Solar System were wiped out, this star field has become completely peaceful, and there are very few troublesome accidents anymore.

Therefore, after he left the pass, he only spent half an hour finishing all the accumulated official duties. Afterward, he plunged into the Gentle embrace of the maids, singing, dancing, drinking, and making merry with them, enjoying himself immensely.

"I'm like a fish in your lotus pond, just to wait with you under the bright moonlight."

"Having traversed all four seasons, the lotus blossoms still exude fragrance; I await you, seemingly in the heart of the water."

On the other side, the Initial Universe.

Yongheng solitude, like a canopy in the sky, enveloped all directions, with only the chains of law slowly flowing through the void.

Only a vast Divine Power Ocean, appearing out of nowhere a billion kilometers Chaos City, adds a touch of life to this desolate world. Often, bewildered Chaos Beast are drawn to this ocean by its aura, only to be whipped by divine whips formed from the seawater, howling and fleeing in panic with their tails between their legs.

This day.

Above the sea, the waves still surged, a gentle breeze blew, and the occasional ripples spread out in layers of Divine Power in the void.

The next moment.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

A piercing roar grew louder as it approached. A magnificent starship, its entire body inlaid with jewels, billowing black smoke from its stern, its hull covered in jagged claw marks and cracks, crashed straight toward the shore like a kite with a broken string.

"Boom!!!"

After a deafening roar, the starship crashed heavily onto the beach, its bow sinking deep into the soft sand, burying half of the hull, with parts flying everywhere and sparks flying.

After a long while, the starship's hatch was finally kicked open with a creak.

"Cough cough cough----"

A Dragon-Man Race girl, her body completely black and blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, crawled out of there in a disheveled state.

She once had a pair of crystal-clear dragon horns on her head, but now they were dull and lifeless; her exquisite armor was tattered, revealing her fair skin underneath, and she looked disheveled.

The person who arrived was none other than Long Jiangxue.

More than a thousand years have passed. After the Universe Level trial ended, she left the initial cosmic trial and went to the outer space for training.

With her extraordinary talent and the protection of the mysterious sword energy between her brows, she successfully broke through to the Domain Lord level.

Unfortunately, she happened to be caught up in the most difficult Domain Lord -level trial in the Human Race's millions of years of history. Despite her best efforts, she only received a very low score and ultimately only got a reward of a few hundred thousand points. She then returned to the Initial Universe in disgrace to continue her secluded cultivation.

This time, when she broke through to the Domain Lord level, she was full of ambition, determined to go deep into the wasteland, cause trouble for those Chaos Beasts, and hone her own combat power.

As a result, before she could go very far, she was besieged by a large number of Domain Lord- level Chaos Beast.

If it weren't for the sword energy between her brows unleashing its power at the crucial moment, generating terrifying strength at the King Level and driving away all the Chaos Beast, she wouldn't even have had a chance to board the starship and escape.

Over the years, this sword energy had saved her from countless life-or-death crises. But after this battle, the sword energy's brilliance finally dimmed, almost completely exhausted.

Little did they know, misfortune never comes singly.

She had just boarded the starship and started the engines to escape when a Chaos Beast of the World Lord Rank suddenly crashed into her. In a panic, she could only order the starship to turn around and flee frantically, disregarding everything else.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, they finally managed to break out of the encirclement, but the starship was already overburdened and crashed.

"Where did this end up?" Long Jiangxue shook her dazed head and looked around in confusion.

She had been in the Initial Universe for so long, when had she ever seen such a vast and boundless sea? The blue waves rippled, Divine Power surged, and even the air was filled with a rich aura of energy, something she had never heard of before!

The next moment.

A cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in her mind:

[Beep~ Initial Universe Management Center Reminder: The area ahead is a Class-A Forbidden Zone of the Initial Universe. Approaching or causing damage is strictly prohibited! Violators will be held responsible for the consequences!]

"Forbidden area?" Long Jiangxue's eyes lit up instantly, her weariness and embarrassment vanishing in an instant, replaced by intense interest.

Back when the various secret realms were being tested at the Universe Level, the true opportunities in each realm were almost always hidden in those areas that were designated as forbidden zones!

With the power of the sword energy between her eyebrows, she gained a lot of benefits in the forbidden area, which allowed her to advance rapidly. Now, she can be considered one of the top thirty Domain Lord- level geniuses in the Virtual Universe Company!

Forbidden Zone = Opportunity = Incredible Benefit!

The more forbidden a place was, the more it fueled her desire to explore!

She cautiously looked around, then used the starship's onboard detectors to scan the surrounding area for miles. It was deserted; not even a trace of Chaos Beast could be seen.

Long Jiangxue finally breathed a sigh of relief. With a slight movement of her Origin Force, a surge of power instantly swept through her body, shattering her tattered battle armor. She casually tossed aside the broken pieces of armor, spread her arms, and felt the subtle touch of the breeze on her skin, a playful smile playing on her lips.

In front of her family elders and outsiders, she always had to play the role of a well-behaved and sensible girl, behaving properly and never daring to overstep the bounds. But now, in this secluded place, she finally shed all her pretenses and experienced true freedom for the first time.

Then, she clasped her hands together, brought her two slender, fair legs together, squatted slightly, and suddenly exerted force, leaping straight up like an arrow released from a bow.

After tracing a graceful white arc through the air, she lay head down, arms outstretched, ready to plunge into the sea for a refreshing bath.

Bathing outdoors, sleeping under the open sky, surrounded by insects and fish. Just thinking about it is incredibly exciting!

The next moment.

"Just!!!"

A crisp, metallic clang suddenly rang out!

Long Jiangxue's head slammed into the sea, but instead of the expected icy touch, it felt like she had hit an incredibly hard steel plate, making her see stars and her head buzz.

She crashed directly onto the sea surface, bounced a few times, and then lay sprawled out on it, showing no signs of sinking.

"Hiss~" Long Jiangxue rubbed her red and sore dragon horns, her eyes slightly red, looking completely bewildered.

What's going on? How come the sea surface has suddenly become harder than F-Grade Metal?

It took her a long while to finally react, and a flash of wild joy appeared in her eyes.

There's a secret! There's definitely a huge secret!

She simply sat cross-legged on the sea, her fair and pure skin pressed tightly against the water. Just then, a warm energy slowly flowed into her body through the point of contact between her skin and the seawater, passing through a mysterious channel and rushing straight to her brow!

The sword energy, which had been completely depleted and dimmed, is now slowly reviving!

You must know that the sword energy between her brows is a great power bestowed by King Rank expert! To replenish the sword energy, the energy required must be at least at the level of the legendary King Level Divine Power!

Long Jiangxue suddenly looked up, gazing at the vast, boundless ocean before her, her mouth slowly opening wide enough to fit an egg.

This... this can't be an entire ocean formed from the Divine Power of King Rank, can it?! Such a vast Divine Power Ocean, how much Hunyuan would it be worth? It's probably more than the entire fortune of a top-tier King Rank family!

It's here! It's here! This time it's really going to be a windfall!

After the initial euphoria, a strong sense of crisis instantly welled up inside me.

No! How could such immense wealth and such an incredible opportunity not have a powerful guardian?!

Thinking of this, Long Jiangxue dared not be negligent in the slightest. With a wave of her hand, a brand-new light blue battle armor instantly covered her entire body. Her temperament also changed drastically, transforming from the playful girl just now back into the well-behaved and meticulous obedient girl.

She cautiously scanned her surroundings while sitting cross-legged, guiding the Divine Power within the seawater to slowly replenish the sword energy between her brows.

Although the transmission speed of Divine Power was slowed down considerably by the layer of armor, at this moment, preserving one's own life was the most important thing!

Now, she only hopes that the mysterious guardian will not appear before the sword energy between her brows is fully replenished!
