Outer Battlefield, Star Tower, Core Hall
After his Puti, possessing the power of Universe Overlord, finished attending the Supreme Council, Puti's true body sat there cross-legged, motionless for a long time.
The young man who knelt here before the Star Tower, accepting its recognition as his master with no way out, has now come to his side and stands shoulder to shoulder with him.
Even within the tribe, having never revealed his true strength, his status was far inferior to his!
However, the so-called "not revealing his true strength" was just self-comfort. Ever since the Shadow Blade Master resurrected that young man, he knew that the Shadow Blade Master knew he was the Lord of the Universe. And the Shadow Blade Master also knew he knew. He was waiting for the Shadow Blade Master to come knocking and expose the fact that he was the Lord of the Universe, but he didn't.
Neither the Shadow Blade Master, Ming Yu, nor any other universe lord had ever sought him out. He continued to live peacefully and comfortably within his race as a carefree Universe Overlord who didn't concern himself with other people's business, receiving the same treatment as in the previous endless eras, without any reduction.
In truth, he had grown accustomed to it. After all, he had been Universe Venerable for countless eons, and this was how he had lived all these eons.
However, he sometimes wonders if, if he were to reveal his true strength, wouldn't the view from the position of Hong Alliance Hall Master, where he could sit in that high seat during the Supreme Council and look down upon the many Universe Venerable, be even better?
Universe Ocean, Beihua Xuelan Domain.
Inside a Palace Supreme Treasure, numerous Venerable servants moved about. High up in the palace, Mountain Sitting Guest with crystalline horns held a piece of cyan material in his hand, his gaze seemingly trying to penetrate the membrane of the Primal Universe to land on that small star system.
And that man who had just become the ruler of the universe.
He received a message from his eldest disciple, and it was confirmed that the boy who had failed to recognize him as a master had now reached the level of a universe master.
After a long while, the Mountain Sitting Guest withdrew his light.
A moment of calm on the sea surface does not mean there are no undercurrents beneath the surface; often, those unseen, chaotic undercurrents are the most deadly.
Solar System, Earth, Jiangnan Base City, Yi'an District No. 3 High School.
"Ding ding ding!" The loud bell rang throughout the campus, and a commotion immediately broke out. A large number of students poured out of the teaching buildings, chatting and laughing in groups of three or five as they walked towards the school gate.
A new era dawned, destruction gave way to reconstruction, and martial arts flourished. With the establishment of basic order, martial arts became the only chance for ordinary people at the bottom of society to change their fate. So even on their way home from school, many boys and girls would still enthusiastically practice various moves, seemingly still wanting more.
Thousands of meters above the city, beyond the city's defenses, a bird with a wingspan of over twenty meters flew by. In its supersonic flight, it suddenly let out a piercing screech like Thunder. The rolling sound waves rippled down, shattering some of the exterior glass of the buildings below, and debris fell to the ground.
However, most people in this era were quite agile, and although the falling glass shards were quite fast, they did not cause any harm. Most people were able to avoid them smoothly, and many even caught the flying glass shards with their bare hands.
As the sunset painted the sky, the moon rose, and the streetlights came on, night fell in the city.
"You, as the so-called Lord of the Universe, have guarded this place for thousands of years. Mountain Sitting Guest should give you an award." In the garden of a villa, Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, and Ming Yu, dressed in black, sat facing each other, like the Black and White Impermanence. There were two cups of tea on the stone table in front of them.
Ming Yu shook his head, looking at the clear tea in front of him. The tea leaves floated up and down in the bright yellow tea soup, just like his life.
He and Ye Muxuan had a good relationship, always communicating on equal terms, like teacher and friend. In addition, Ye Muxuan knew all his secrets, and naturally, Ming Yu rarely spoke in front of him.
"How are those people doing cultivating in your God Kingdom?" Seeing that Ming Yu didn't respond, Ye Muxuan remembered something and asked. Before Ming Yu became a master of the universe, Ye Muxuan's main body stayed here with him for hundreds of thousands of years. During that time, some humans who looked pleasing to the eye were taken into the God Kingdom by the two of them when they were about to die, so that they could be reborn and embark on the path of cultivation.
If they truly choose to perish and leave this world rather than cultivate, then neither Ye Muxuan nor Ming Yu would need to beg them; it would be entirely up to them.
Most of the people Ye Muxuan took into his God Kingdom were the ancestors of the Human Race from the tribal era, while most of those Ming Yu took into his God Kingdom were the later group of human sages who had achieved great attainments in their mental states. However, they both knew that the Mountain Sitting Guest was involved, so those they took into their divine kingdoms were taken away when they were about to die.
"It's alright. Most of them can follow the path of Spirit Reader and Illusionist. It won't be difficult to produce a few more Immortal in the future. As for Universe Venerable or even cosmic masters, that's uncertain." Ming Yu replied. Immortal are fine; even those with poor talent can be directly boosted with resources. However, Universe Venerable and cosmic masters cannot be achieved by simply piling on resources, or rather, ordinary resources are insufficient.
"My twenty-odd are in the same situation. I plan to send them to Chaos City. They're all considered nominal disciples. As for what level they can reach in the future, that depends on themselves." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, swept his gaze across the star-studded sky and said, "I won't stay here with you any longer. There are many things to deal with in the clan. This Earth is ultimately too small."
Yes, it's just a life-bearing planet. Even the biggest events on it are minor matters within a star system, and even more insignificant in the face of the entire Human Race.
"I'm also planning to leave." Ming Yu, dressed in black, withdrew his gaze from the various corners of the city. "After all, I am a master of a universe. It's one thing to rest here for thousands of years; my race nurtured me, and I can't stay forever. Earth is indeed too small."
"Then let's go to the Universe Ocean; there are more opportunities there," said Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe.
"Okay." Ming Yu, dressed in all black, nodded.
The two figures vanished without a trace, along with the villa, as the night wind blew by.
No life on Earth knows that such a great being as the Lord of the Universe once stayed on this planet for hundreds of thousands of years, witnessing its cultural development and dynastic changes.
However, we may only know this when the life on this planet ventures out of the universe and becomes qualified to access the Core Layer of their species.
In Yi'an District, a boy running through the night to his tutoring session suddenly looked up, staring blankly in a certain direction, momentarily lost in thought.
Then he came to his senses.
He even began to doubt whether he was under too much pressure due to the upcoming college entrance examination. It was Wilderness Zone, what was there to see there? He wasn't Fighter yet, it was too early to be thinking about these things.
Then, shaking his head, the lean body of the short black-haired boy resembled a leopard in the dark. He ran and leaped with ease to the gate of a villa residential area, and after being let in by the security guard, he entered the villa area.
