As one of the six peak races, the human race occupies one of the four best territories in the universe. These are not star systems ceded by other races; they were carved out by countless human predecessors who braved hardships and fought with their blood and lives. The territory is not vast, and every inch is soaked with the bones, blood, souls, and lives of our ancestors. Therefore, not an inch can be surrendered! Not an inch can be lost! In this process, sacrifice is naturally inevitable. Not to mention World Lords and Immortals, even Venerables and Universe Masters have certainly made sacrifices, and even the Giant Axe Founder himself will face life-threatening dangers in the future.

Ye Muxuan fought on the Outer Battlefield for over a hundred thousand years, personally killing over a million aliens, with even more dying indirectly by his hand. Especially when he was operating alone, whenever he encountered alien armies led by only a single low-level General-rank Immortal, he would often bombard them with Planet Destroyer Cannons from a great distance. By the time the alien Immortal was furious and ready to pursue him, he would have already fled.

Once on the battlefield, if you don't kill the aliens, are you going to keep them for the holidays? As for the methods, only a dead alien is a good alien.

Moreover, when he was operating alone in his early days, a small portion of his accumulated military merit came from this very method. After all, those Universe Rank, Domain Lord Rank, and even ordinary World Lord Rank enemies, even if they weren't worth much individually, added up to a considerable sum when accumulated. A single blast of the Planet Destroyer Cannon could always net a few big and small fish; even a mosquito's leg is still meat. Otherwise, as a lone operator, how could he have afforded the 5 billion military merit Extreme Wind Secret Canon, raised a World Lord Rank Cloud-Touching Vine with 108 main vines, and redeemed a 2 billion military merit spot for enlightenment in the Initial Universe—all of which cost over a hundred thousand Hunyuan Units—after only a hundred thousand years of fighting, especially when he only occasionally got lucky and found precious items? Not to mention that in these last hundred thousand years, he had other expenses besides these three; armor, spaceships, weapons, detectors, and so on were all major costs. Without these resources, as a lone operator, he wouldn't have been able to kill an alien Immortal head-on a thousand years ago.

"Guardian, among the seventeen of us who chose the Jinghong Chaos Stele, how many have reached the tenth level?" After Bafen finished explaining the basic information, Ye Muxuan asked out of curiosity.

"Among the 35 schools you first-batch Chaos Stele comprehenders belong to, there are 1,103 people in total, 816 of whom are World Lords. So far, 285 of those World Lords have attempted the Heavenly Bridge, and not a single one has reached the tenth level." The guardian Bafen looked deeply at Ye Muxuan and said, "As for the Jinghong Heavenly Bridge, four people have already attempted it, and none of them could reach the tenth level either."

"Who is next?" The guardian Bafen looked at the twelve people in front of him.

There were seventeen people in total who chose to comprehend the Jinghong Chaos Stele, and they were all gathered here, separated from the other schools. Four had already attempted it, and one had not yet arrived, leaving twelve people present.

"I'll go," said Qing Lun, dressed in green robes.

"Very well," Bafen nodded. "Go ahead."

Qing Lun flew toward the harbor, while Ye Muxuan and the other ten waited there.

"Oh, I have good news for you all. A World Lord from the Wind Shadow Heavenly Bridge just reached the eleventh level." As the guardian of the Heavenly Bridge, Bafen easily kept track of all information regarding those attempting it. He looked up at Ye Muxuan and the others, while simultaneously speaking to a group gathered in the distance. "Wind Shadow Heavenly Bridge, you're next."

The eleventh level! Stepping into the tenth level already represented the level of law comprehension of an Immortal, which meant this World Lord's level of law comprehension was quite impressive even among Immortals.

"Who is it?"

"Which World Lord is so formidable?"

Not only the people on Ye Muxuan's side but also those in the various circles gathered in the distance were all asking.

"It is Li Zheng," the guardian Bafen said.

Ye Muxuan's eyes brightened slightly.

The "Blade Maniac" Li Zheng!

He had indeed entered the Immortal-level of law comprehension; he truly lived up to his nickname, "Blade Maniac."

"Well, he is also at the ninth level. Who among you is next for the Jinghong Heavenly Bridge?" Amidst the silence of the few, the guardian Bafen suddenly spoke.

Qing Lun's strength among the World Lord Generals was definitely not weak, yet even he had only passed the ninth level.

"I'll go." In the silence of the eleven people, Ye Muxuan stepped forward.

"Very well," the guardian Bafen nodded. "Go ahead."

Ye Muxuan bowed in salute, then transformed into a black shadow and flew toward the Heavenly Bridge that stretched to the edge of the world on the far side of the island.

From a distance, one could see a stone tablet in front of the Heavenly Bridge, with the two giant characters "Jinghong" written in the universal language of the universe.

The moment his figure stepped onto the Jinghong Heavenly Bridge, Nine Phoenix's voice rang out in his mind, "Master, I just received a new email from the Virtual Universe Company."

"What is the content?" Ye Muxuan asked as he stepped onto the Heavenly Bridge.

"Point rules," Nine Phoenix replied.

"Points?" Ye Muxuan paused for a moment while flying. "What are the rules?"

"There are many ways to obtain points, but right now in the Initial Universe, the fastest way to obtain them is by attempting the Heavenly Bridge, the Illusion Sea, and the Immortal Altar. Among these three, the Immortal Altar likely yields the fewest points." A thought flashed through Ye Muxuan's mind. "I just don't know if we newcomers who came to the Initial Universe via the Outer Battlefield and auctions will also get the ten-fold reward."

For those Star Rank and Universe Rank geniuses who entered the Initial Universe through the Genius Competition and Warrior Competition, there was a rule of a ten-fold point reward for attempting the Heavenly Bridge during their thirty years of enlightenment in the Initial Universe. He wondered if they had the same.

"The email states that, according to the convention agreed upon by the five major powers, newcomers entering the Initial Universe for the first time via the Outer Battlefield and Universe Kingdom auctions only have the authority to attempt the Heavenly Bridge, the Illusion Sea, and the Immortal Altar during their time in the Initial Universe, and no points will be issued at all." Nine Phoenix's voice echoed in Ye Muxuan's mind. "Only after passing a certain level of the Heavenly Bridge or the Illusion Sea, and receiving an invitation from one of the five major powers to become an external or core member, will points corresponding to those levels be issued. In addition to their existing points, core members receive corresponding bonus points and a free point quota to redeem secret techniques."

"Becoming a core member allows one to enter the End Times Secret Realm and the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm. The End Times Secret Realm directly rewards ten thousand points with a free quota of ten million, while the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm directly rewards one hundred thousand points with a free quota of one hundred million."

Ye Muxuan's footsteps paused at the entrance of the first level of the Heavenly Bridge. He stopped quietly for a moment, then lifted his feet and continued to fly toward the first level.
