Beyond Earth, in the void of space.

In an instant, without warning, a towering figure suddenly appeared. The figure was over nine hundred meters tall, wearing a seemingly simple yet ancient and profound blue armor, with a pair of transparent horns on its forehead that glowed slightly.

His lowered gaze, as if looking down at dust, slowly swept over that blue planet: Earth.

The newcomer was none other than the powerful Alien Race who had personally sculpted the Solar System and guided the birth of Earth Lineage at an immense cost: the Mountain Sitting Guest.

His divine sense spread silently, easily penetrating the atmosphere and sweeping across every inch of the earth.

The students who cultivate carefree within the Luo Family's territory, the white-collar workers of all kinds struggling to make a living in the city, the cultivators who grit their teeth and cultivate diligently, and the pregnant women from all races of Human Race who travel through interstellar routes to Earth to reproduce—

The myriad aspects of life, love and hate, warmth and everyday moments, are all clearly reflected in his perception. Yet, the Mountain Sitting Guest's usually calm and composed face showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

In his eyes, these ordinary people are nothing more than a string of cold numbers.

Even though the birth of Earth Lineage was guided by Him, these mortal beings are no different in essence from the dust floating in the universe and the silent meteorites.

They're all useless trash!

No one knows the truly terrifying origins of this seemingly top-tier treasure-refining master.

He was originally a supreme being from outside the Primal Universe. His family, clan, and beloved were all slaughtered in a cataclysmic event. In order to seek revenge, he took a desperate gamble, went through countless near-death experiences, and used Heaven-Defying Reincarnation Technique to be reborn in this Primal Universe with his complete memories.

But after being reincarnated, he discovered in despair that the Supreme Rule of the Primal Universe were watching him closely, strictly forbidding him from making any outrageous moves that exceeded the limits of the rules.

The path to revenge was blocked right from the start.

In desperation, he could only place his hopes for revenge on his descendants.

He devoted himself to guiding the Yan God Race Clan and the Earth Lineage.

The leader of the Yan God Race, Emperor Yan, despite his outstanding divine physique, was despicable in nature. Despite the abundant resources he bestowed upon him with countless Heavy Treasure, the man remained stuck at the Third-Order Universe Master. Furthermore, he was treacherous, selfish, and self-serving.

The Earth Lineage nearly drove him to despair. Two leaders, on whom high hopes were placed, went to the Star Tower to claim lordship, but both ended in failure.

Just when he thought that all hope of revenge in this Reincarnation Era had been lost, Luo Feng, this little guy who appeared out of nowhere, actually succeeded in recognizing the Star Tower as his master over the course of 6,092 years!

A being at the World Lord Rank actually possesses the will of Venerable Level!

Such talent astonished even the Mountain Sitting Guest, who was accustomed to the wonders of the universe, rekindling the hope for revenge in his dormant heart.

This glimmer of hope was small. After all, his enemies were super-beings capable of annihilating the entire Primal Universe in the blink of an eye. But even the smallest hope is better than utter despair.

The reason he has come to Earth today is actually quite simple.

During the process of accepting Luo Feng as a disciple, his third disciple inadvertently mentioned that there was another junior on Earth who was even more talented than Luo Feng: named Tang Ping. In less than four thousand years, he had crossed the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain of the Human Race, and became a genius that the Human Race would only see once in tens of millions of eras.

When he first heard the news, the Mountain Sitting Guest didn't care at all.

His origins destined him to have a vision far surpassing that of the beings in the Primal Universe. In his homeland, there were countless beings who reached the level of the Universe Supreme Being upon reaching adulthood. In that level of world, the speed of early-stage Law Comprehension was the least noteworthy talent.

Just as he was preparing to gather materials for refining treasures for his third disciple and was about to leave the Primal Universe, a sudden, inexplicable surge of emotion welled up within him. It was an almost instinctive intuition that he seemed to have missed something of paramount importance.

So he changed his mind and returned to Earth, wanting to see for himself what Tang Ping was like. If he had decent aptitude, it wouldn't hurt to take him as a disciple.

As a Top-tier Supreme Treasure -tier treasure-refining master, he might need to expend considerable effort to collect materials and meticulously craft top-tier treasures, but Ordinary Supreme Treasure were merely things he could easily create. Exchanging a few Ordinary Supreme Treasure for a few promising disciples, thus accumulating a small amount of support for his revenge, was a sure-fire way for him to make a profit.

To avenge his humiliation, he would hold onto even the slightest hope, however small. Moreover, for Tang Ping, becoming a disciple of his Mountain Sitting Guest was already an immense honor!

But the moment he descended into the void of Earth, a strange feeling instantly surged into his mind: something's not right!

This tiny Solar System is completely enveloped by the divine sense of a Universe Master! This being Control of Space-Time, monitoring every move of the entire Solar System. The moment he appeared, he was undoubtedly detected by this being.

However, because he has always maintained a neutral stance and does not get involved in the conflicts between different races, the Universe Master did not immediately appear to confront him.

The problem is that what Tang Ping left on Earth was just an avatar!

He is only ten thousand years old, and his cultivation level is at most at the Realm Lord level. Even if he passes through the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain, theoretically he would need at least ten million epochs of accumulation to become a pillar of the Human Race.

What merit or ability does such a prodigy, who has not yet truly matured, possess to warrant such solemn treatment from Universe Master, who devotes so much attention to protecting him around the clock?

The Mountain Sitting Guest's gaze suddenly locked onto the core region of the Solar System. Upon seeing it, his previously indifferent brows furrowed slightly. The platinum palace that guarded the Solar System was not a common Heavy Treasure palace for Human Race, but a supreme Treasure Palace!

It should be understood that even the Human Race, Six Peak Races in the Primal Universe, with its extremely profound foundation, could theoretically possess no more than 100,000 Supreme Treasure.

These 100,000 Supreme Treasure also need to be distributed among the Universe Master, major overlords, and avatar holders within the clan. In addition, with the Race Treasury reserves accumulated over the years, what can be given to peerless geniuses is usually just an Ordinary Supreme Treasure weapon or armor.

This Tang Ping, how could he possibly have Treasure Palace protecting him?

The Mountain Sitting Guest thought to himself: Could it be that in the short six thousand years that Luo Feng was in seclusion, Tang Ping had already fully mastered a superior law? Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to attract such outrageous attention from the Human Race.

Moreover, even if one becomes Cosmic Venerable, one may not be qualified to have a Universe Master protect one around the clock, unless—this Tang Ping has an irreplaceable and enormous role for the Human Race, and can even significantly enhance the foundation of the entire Human Race!

Could this kid possess a divine body?

Thinking of this, the Mountain Sitting Guest shook his head slightly, a barely perceptible sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

These humans from the Primal Universe had far too limited knowledge.

In any world, the most crucial attributes for reaching the pinnacle of power are always comprehension and willpower.

Other advantages, such as special clones or Special Lifeform forms, can only play a limited role in the early stages. Once they grow to the level of the Universe Supreme Being, everyone can easily reach Gene Multiplier of 1810,000, and their clones will also complete a unique fusion.

At that time, all those initial advantages will become irrelevant.

In this tiny Primal Universe, how high can one's so-called profound understanding really be? Even if one were to ascend to the Universe Master within a thousand years, in his homeland, he would be nothing more than an ant that can be seen everywhere.

One cannot discuss ice with a summer insect, nor the sea with a frog in a well, nor the Tao with an ordinary person.

Inside the Platinum Temple, auspicious energy filled the air.

Tang Ping was sitting around chatting with several maids, their words flowing smoothly and wittily. After all, everyone present was a powerful figure at the Universe Level or above, with a firm Dao heart, making the atmosphere quite lively.

Suddenly, a pale blue light appeared in front of Tang Ping; this was an emergency communication from the Virtual Universe, a forced pop-up window.

On the other end of the communication was another Lord of Cosmic Judgment, the Lord of Liu'an, from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

The other party spoke succinctly, informing him that a distinguished guest had arrived in the Solar System and that he needed to personally receive him. They also specifically instructed him that as long as he stayed in this Treasure Palace, he need not worry about his safety.

Although somewhat bewildered, he knew that the Virtual Universe could never be hacked. So, Tang Ping had no choice but to get up, dismiss the maids, walk to the palace entrance, and bow in greeting.

This area remains under the protection of the Supreme Treasure, so it is naturally safe.

"I wonder which senior has graced this humble palace with their presence? King Anle, I respectfully welcome you." After the greeting, Tang Ping looked around, his gaze sweeping over the empty palace gate square, which was deserted.

He couldn't help but scratch his head. Could it be that some big shot was bored and deliberately came to play a trick on him? Very well, he would write this down in his Little Notebook and get his revenge if he had the chance in the future.

In the void beyond Earth, the Mountain Sitting Guest stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing through layers of space and landing directly on Tang Ping at the entrance of the Platinum Temple. The moment that vast and majestic aura entered his eyes, and after sensing it for a moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At ten thousand years old, one already possesses the life essence of Cosmic Overlord.

Such talent is extremely rare, even in the entire Primal Universe. No wonder the Human Race values this young man so much. The Mountain Sitting Guest thought to himself, he was right, Tang Ping's speed in comprehending the laws in the early stages was indeed astonishing.

But speed isn't necessarily a good thing.

The Mountain Sitting Guest frowned slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. Tang Ping was in the prime of his life, yet he indulged in lowly pleasures like women all day long. With such a restless mind, even with his high talent, he would probably find it difficult to reach the peak of the Great Dao.

With a soft sigh, the Mountain Sitting Guest originally intended to step forward and casually take the boy as a disciple, thus ending a shallow connection.

Hmm? That's not right!

In an instant, the Mountain Sitting Guest's eyes were filled with chilling killing intent. The boy at the palace gate possessed a strange quality: it was the prototype of the legendary Divine Power Path!

Within the Primal Universe, he knew countless secrets, yet he had never heard of any force or individual possessing the Divine Power Path! Could this kid, like himself, be a reincarnated great being?

The thought had barely formed when it was rejected by the Mountain Sitting Guest. If it were a reincarnated great being, they would surely be under the watchful eye of the Supreme Rule, and it would be impossible for them to walk so easily through the Primal Universe.

In an instant, the Mountain Sitting Guest realized.

This kid must have had an extraordinary stroke of luck, accidentally obtaining the inheritance of some ancient powerful being, which allowed him to embark on the Divine Power Path. What's even more remarkable is that he has astonishing talent on this path, possessing two thousand times the Gene Level at the Venerable Realm alone!

With such talent and opportunity, it's no wonder that the Human Race regards him as a key talent to be cultivated.

This kid has finally earned the right to be my disciple!

Having made up his mind, the Mountain Sitting Guest smiled slightly, his body moved slightly, and he vanished without a trace, like a drop of water merging into the void.

The next second, Tang Ping felt a blur before his eyes, and an immense and unparalleled pressure suddenly descended, making him catch his breath.

Upon closer inspection, a colossal figure, nine hundred meters tall, stood before them. Clad in ancient armor, the figure was surrounded by Chaos aura. Wherever it passed, even the Laws of Origin of the Primal Universe seemed to retreat, as if they dared not confront it.

Tang Ping's mind raced, and he instantly recognized the visitor. He quickly bowed and greeted the newcomer, "Tang Ping, Earth Lineage of the Human Race, pays respects to Senior Mountain Sitting Guest!"

"Oh? You know me?" A hint of surprise flashed in the Mountain Sitting Guest's eyes.

"I have a very close relationship with Luo Feng, and he has told me many things," Tang Ping replied vaguely, without elaborating further.

When the mountain guest heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Therefore, Tang Ping must also know about Luo Feng's recognition of the Star Tower as its master. The fact that the Human Race's higher-ups are still unaware that the Star Tower has changed hands is enough to show that Tang Ping is keeping Luo Feng's secret. In this world of survival of the fittest and deceit, it is truly rare to find such a loyal and devoted brother.

Mountain Sitting Guest couldn't help but think of his own time in his sect, those senior and junior sisters who cultivated and fought side by side, who have long since perished in the river of time.

Upon thinking of this, his gaze towards Tang Ping softened considerably, and he cut to the chase. "Since you know my background, I'll be frank. I wish to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?"

Tang Ping was taken aback.

He has no shortage of masters now. With the entire Human Race supporting him, he has all the necessary cultivation techniques and resources. He will soon break through to the realm of the Universe Master, and his divine body will expand to trillions of kilometers. In this way, having another master seems unnecessary.

After a moment's hesitation, Tang Ping cupped his hands and said, "Senior, please forgive me. A teacher for a day is a mother for life. This matter is of great importance, and I must first consult my master before I can give an answer."

The Mountain Sitting Guest fell silent instantly.

These days, even if the Universe Supreme Being takes on a disciple, do they still have to consider the other party's feelings?

He shook his head slightly, feeling rather speechless.

To have the opportunity to become his disciple was already an incredible stroke of luck for this kid, perhaps even the only chance in his life to get closer to becoming a supreme expert. Unfortunately, this kid ultimately didn't know how to cherish it.

That's enough, forcing it won't help.

But since he was still a descendant of the Human Race, the Mountain Sitting Guest couldn't help but give him a word of advice. "Tang Ping, the waters of this universe are far deeper than you imagine. The Primal Universe is nothing, and even the vast Universe Ocean is but a drop in the ocean. Don't think that just because you've obtained some of the inheritance of a great being, you can look down on everything."

One day you will understand that the path to enlightenment is boundless, and the universe is limitless. To go further, cherish every opportunity and don't waste your talents.

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Tang Ping stood there, inwardly grumbling. How could he not know these principles? But he was even more certain that under Luo Feng's leadership, the future of Human Race would lead to true glory!

No one understands the Human Race better than me, and no one understands Luo Feng better than me!

Just then, the Mountain Sitting Guest suddenly stopped. He turned around abruptly, his gaze sharp as lightning, locking onto Tang Ping.

As the Universe Supreme Being, he could easily control the Origin of the Universe and even define some of the universe's laws. Now, up close, he finally saw the strangeness of Tang Ping's divine body.

The structure of this divine body was completely different from any other Divine Power Path cultivation method he had ever seen in his hometown. Even more miraculously, it seemed to be building the most basic framework step by step from nothing, perfectly matching the evolutionary laws of the life essence of the Primal Universe.

"Learn from heaven and earth, and follow nature's course—" These four words suddenly flashed through the mind of the Mountain Sitting Guest, and then an astonishing thought popped up uncontrollably.

He stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Tang Ping, did you obtain your divine body from some mysterious inheritance, or did you develop it yourself?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Tang Ping's eyes. He pursed his lips, remaining silent. This was his biggest secret; how could he easily reveal it to others?

Seeing this, the Mountain Sitting Guest couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless.

He recalled Luo Feng's previous description of how he interacted with Tang Ping, and with a casual flick of his wrist, a Flowing Light suit of armor appeared in his hand. He tossed it directly to Tang Ping: "This Ordinary Supreme Treasure armor, in exchange for a single word from you, isn't that a fair trade?"

Tang Ping reached out and took the armor. The moment his fingertips touched it, he sensed the mysterious runes within. He carefully examined them for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

It should be noted that Ordinary Supreme Treasure is worth a full Supreme Treasure Point, and armor is especially valuable in the cultivation world. According to his assessment, this armor is worth at least 10 Supreme Treasure Point.

This is a huge profit!

Tang Ping immediately spoke, his tone tinged with pride. "Naturally, it was achieved through my own talent and diligent study. As for the mysterious inheritance, I have never ventured into any secret realms to this day. What I have been comprehending is my master, Wind-Thunder Venerable's <Wind and Thunder Notes>, and the Chaos City Lord's secret technique <Universe Notes>."

Upon hearing this, the Mountain Sitting Guest was overjoyed.

To comprehend the Divine Power Path out of thin air, without needing to venture into secret realms, and already possess the level of Law Comprehension and will of Cosmic Overlord —what an extraordinary talent!

Isn't this the perfect, best disciple for me?

Lustful? What powerful figure doesn't have some Little Love? For example, he himself likes to refine treasures, and that Old Beast God likes to gamble.

No problem!
