Comparison

"All in all, you need to think about this carefully yourself. After all, no matter which faction you join, your path will essentially be set in stone from then on," said Zhendan, who had a lightning mark on his forehead. "Although there is competition among the members of the five major factions, generally speaking, people certainly won't leave their original faction to join another so easily."

The other eight people present all nodded. No matter where you go, turncoats might be liked by some, but they are never welcomed, and certainly never entrusted with important tasks.

Yunmeng Lake, a three-story cabin by the shore, inside the quiet room, Ye Muxuan sat there quietly.

Choosing to join one of the five major factions was already a foregone conclusion. He would not choose to be a lone wolf, at least not until he became a Universe Master. As for whether he could become the strongest in the universe? Everything was an unknown.

After entering the Initial Universe and contemplating the Chaos Stele, Immortal was merely a threshold for him, a small hurdle to achieving eternity. He was confident he could break through to become an Immortal.

Even as a Venerable, he was confident he would have a chance in the future. Even if the hope was slim, there was still a possibility of stepping into the Venerable level.

As for being a Universe Master...

It was too difficult!

Since the birth of the Human Race in the Primal Universe, spanning long ages measured in hundreds of millions of epochs, even if some Universe Masters had fallen along the way, the total number accumulated to this day was only a dozen or so. On the road to becoming a peak powerhouse of the universe, talent alone was far from enough. Talent, comprehension, perseverance, hard work, mentorship, treasures, and that sliver of destiny in the dark—none could be missing!

Between accidents and powerhouses, no one knows which will arrive first tomorrow!

Among the five major factions of the Human Race, the Giant Axe Dojo and the Virtual Universe Company lead the way. The former possesses the only Universe Master of the Human Race currently, and even without a supreme treasure, they still possess the strength of a top-tier Tier 8 powerhouse. The current person in charge, Master Xujin, is also a top-tier Tier 4 Universe Master, ranking in the top five among the dozen or so Universe Masters of the Human Race.

The latter is a faction established by the Original Ancestor, the most talented, brilliant, and peerless genius in the history of the Human Race. Even though the Original Ancestor is currently suppressed, the person in charge of the Virtual Universe Company is the second-ranked Chaos City Lord. Among the over a thousand Universe Masters in the Primal Universe, excluding the three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect who are blessed by the Origin Will of the Primal Universe, his level of law comprehension and secret techniques is definitely in the top five, if not the top three. Not to mention, among the dozen or so Universe Masters of the Human Race, only three have reached the top-tier Tier 5, and two of them belong to the Virtual Universe Company. Furthermore, Chaos City Lord is considered the super powerhouse among the thousands of Universe Masters in the Primal Universe with the most hope of becoming the next strongest.

In fact, he was indeed the first among the thousands of Universe Masters in the Primal Universe to break through and become a Universe Master.

The other three major factions are relatively weaker. Even with Master Peng Gong, who also possesses top-tier Tier 5 strength, the influence of his Cosmic Galaxy Bank is far less than the first two.

After a little consideration, Ye Muxuan set his sights on the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Dojo.

After pondering for a long while, based on the information he had gathered, the potential of the Virtual Universe Company was even higher than that of the Giant Axe Dojo. After all, apart from the Giant Axe Founder, the Giant Axe Dojo really couldn't produce an outstanding leader.

In the future, after the Giant Axe falls, Master Xujin would be capable of maintaining the status quo but lacking in ambition. Not only would he lag behind the three current Tier 5 Universe Masters—Chaos City Lord, Darkness Master, and Master Peng Gong—but even Master Huang Jian, Master Ice Peak, and Master Dragon Walk would surpass him in achieving True God status. If not for their deep foundations, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance of Master Huang Jian and the Cosmic Galaxy Bank of Master Peng Gong would have overtaken the Giant Axe Dojo by then.

It could be said that considering all the information he knew, whether now or in the future, joining the Virtual Universe Company was the optimal solution.

Ye Muxuan tapped his finger lightly, and two emails appeared before him, which were invitations from the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Dojo, respectively.

The conditions offered by both were similar. Generally speaking, they offered a World Lord level quota for the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, a reward of 100,000 points, and a promise to ensure at least one Peak King Level powerhouse as a mentor. There was also a free quota of 100 million points for purchasing secret techniques, which was equivalent to an extra 100 million points to buy whatever he wanted. Of course, if it exceeded this limit, he would have to pay for the rest himself.

Apart from these major items, there were many other miscellaneous benefits. For example, in this Initial Universe, successfully breaking through the 14th level would reward 100,000 points in addition to the Heavenly Bridge points, and breaking through the 15th level would reward another 100,000 points, and so on.

If he could really reach the 17th or 18th level, the points rewarded alone would amount to hundreds of thousands!

After all, normally, the 15th level was already at the level of Marquis Level law comprehension. Even within the core of the Virtual Universe Company, this level reached the top of the Primordial Secret Realm, or even the threshold of the Primal Secret Realm!

Taking the Virtual Universe Company as an example, the entire Primal Secret Realm only had a total of one hundred World Lord level quotas!

And once a World Lord of the Primal Secret Realm breaks through to become an Immortal, they generally start as high-level military lords, and in most cases, they are Marquis Level, or even directly King Level!

With Ye Muxuan's current law comprehension, as long as he breaks through to become an Immortal, he is confident he can reach the Marquis Level directly.

But now is not the best time.

So...

Ye Muxuan set his gaze on one of the emails, his eyes flickering slightly.

Initial Universe, Chaos City.

On the rooftop of a small gray building, a man in black opened his eyes. At the edge of his vision, the law secret patterns were manifested and visible.

Carefully contemplating the manifested law secret patterns, combined with the artistic conception of the Jinghong Chaos Stele, Ye Muxuan felt that he had a deeper understanding of the Origin Law of Wind and the Time Origin Law.

The Jinghong Chaos Stele consists of nine pictures in total. Comprehending the first three pictures is enough to pass the 9th level of the Heavenly Bridge based on the Time Origin Law alone. In Ye Muxuan's comprehension, once the three pictures are fully understood, he can also borrow the momentum to comprehend the Origin Law of Wind. Once they are connected into a whole, he can use this to break through to become an Immortal.

Shatter the original core and achieve Immortality!

This process is irreversible but not uncontrollable! He could choose not to shatter the original core for the time being, because once shattered, he must break through to become an Immortal. However, Ye Muxuan had already understood the first four pictures and had already gained insights into the fifth picture he was currently contemplating. Because of this, he was confident he could pass the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge.

After all, his level of law comprehension had already reached the Marquis Level.
