In the Primal Universe, at the Ancestral God Palace and the Ancestral God Altar of the Ancestral God Sect, an immense, majestic aura enveloped the entire Ancestral God Secret Realm. The Three Ancestor Gods inside the palace opened their eyes in unison, fear showing in each of their gazes!
The Origin Will of the Original Universe was trembling!
A powerful being was fighting the Origin Will! And the Origin Will had been injured!
Even the human race's Madman from countless eras ago, who had repeatedly challenged the Origin Will head-on and fought it time and again, had never managed to injure it!
"Was it God Eye? Or Lord of Skeletons?" the aged voice of the elder Ancestral God rang out, echoing across the Ancestral God Altar.
"It shouldn't be. God Eye and Lord of Skeletons are only peak ninth-tier. They're not even as powerful as Yuan was back then! They couldn't possibly be qualified to fight the Origin Will!" another voice replied with certainty.
"Then was it Eastern Emperor or Purple Moon?" In the entire Universe Ocean, the only ones more powerful than God Eye and Lord of Skeletons were the mysterious Progenitors of the two eternal Holy Land Universes!
"..."
"It's in the Primal Universe!!!" The message from the Origin Will made the Three Ancestor Gods' expressions change in an instant!
Shock! Anger! Terror! Fear!
Within the Primal Universe, whether it was a material attack or a Soul Attack, the power of any individual being was capped at peak sixth tier! Even the strongest beings were no exception! Not even that Madman of the human race could break the limit! Countless cycles and countless eras had passed without a single exception!
And yet now, a powerful being was fighting the Origin Will inside the Primal Universe—and had even managed to injure it!
How insane! How unbelievable!
"Find him!"
The entire Ancestral God Sect sprang into action! Countless powerful beings poured out in full force!
The Initial Universe was a Miniature Universe in a state of "initial evolution." Deep within its Origin Core, a milky-white glow suddenly appeared. It then condensed into a simple figure in a white robe, who stepped forward!
In Chaos City, Chaos City Lord, who was stationed in the Initial Universe, stared dumbfounded at the white-robed figure before him, as if he had fallen into a dream!
In a desolate region of the Primal Universe, beside a palace, there was a pond and a small artificial hill. An old man with gleaming crystal horns atop his head sat on a rock beside the hill. Suddenly, he looked up, his gaze settling on the boundless void!
The azure metal he had been idly turning over in his palm was silently crushed to powder!
Inside the quiet cabin of a spaceship in the Dark Universe, Ye Muxuan sat utterly still. He had been there for a whole month!
"The target star sector has been reached. The ship is decelerating. We'll exit the Dark Universe in ten seconds." Nine Phoenix faithfully carried out Ye Muxuan's previous instructions.
Nine Phoenix was not yet an Intelligent Life, and its Intelligent Optical Brain lacked the many humanlike emotions of an autonomous being. But lately, Ye Muxuan had felt it was close to evolving, like a young beast still muddled and innocent, just beginning to awaken its intelligence. If it really did evolve, that would be cause for celebration.
"...10...9...8...3...2...1..."
In the Dark Universe, the spaceship slowed to a stop while in flight. The motionless silver-white pyramid-shaped vessel shuddered slightly, then was kicked out of the Dark Universe!
The Primal Universe, Crimson Star Sector. A silver-white pyramid-shaped spaceship, about two thousand meters tall, suddenly appeared in the starry sky!
It was an E9 Rank alloy spaceship built by the Machine Race! Though it wasn't made entirely of metal, it outperformed spaceships of the same rank made from pure metal! After all, the Machine Race could be considered the undisputed leader of technological civilization in the Primal Universe!
Inside the cabin, Ye Muxuan's gaze suddenly sharpened.
That ray of light he had unleashed from his consciousness a month ago had been completely unexpected! Even before that, through all those long years, neither Muxuan nor he had known that anything like it existed in his consciousness! And now, looking back, the light that had swept away everything seemed to have been a Blade Ray!
And in his sea of consciousness—or, more accurately, in his consciousness—he could now sense something!
It wasn't in his Origin Bead, nor in his Internal World, nor in his sea of consciousness—at first, he had thought it was there—but in his consciousness!
If that ray of light could be understood as a Blade Ray, then this thing, which looked like an incomplete flat cylinder, only a small fragment of an incomplete entity, should be... a Blade Hilt? Or part of some Blade Hilt?
For the past month, he had been thinking about one thing: after he had unleashed that ray of light in the Origin Land of the Universe, would the Origin Will of the Primal Universe try to kill him?
After all, what he had done was no less provocative than what Original Ancestor had done back then!
And the Universe Origin Will was intelligent!
Even if it had only the lowest level of intelligence, it could still command the Ancestral God Sect, the most powerful force in the Primal Universe, to act!
With the Ancestral God Sect's strength, once it identified its target and had the Origin Will's permission, it could kill even a Universe Supreme Being! Crushing him would be no harder than crushing an apprentice! Given his current status, the human race certainly wouldn't go to war with the Ancestral God Sect over him! To be more precise, the human race might not even find out if the Ancestral God Sect crushed him!
So the question now was, did the Origin Will of the Primal Universe know who its target was?
That was why Ye Muxuan had been waiting quietly in the Dark Universe, waiting for the Ancestral God Sect's experts to arrive!
If the Origin Will knew he existed, a month would have been more than enough for the Ancestral God Sect's experts to surround him! And he would have had no way to escape! Not in the Primal Universe, nor by fleeing to the Universe Ocean!
Well, not that he could enter the Universe Ocean in the first place.
But now that he was in the starry sky of the Primal Universe, his detectors could scan a radius of one hundred million kilometers. There were only a few C-rank spaceships nearby! No unusual targets!
So... was it that the Supreme Rules wouldn't allow the Origin Will to suppress him, or that the Origin Will itself couldn't identify him?
So the Origin Will couldn't find him?!
At that thought, Ye Muxuan abruptly raised his head, gazing through the spaceship's 100% external virtual display toward the depths of the boundless void!
If the Supreme Rules forbade it, that was one thing. But if the Origin Will couldn't even determine his location within the Primal Universe, then what exactly was that small fragment of an incomplete entity? And besides...
In his Internal World, five differently colored specks of light floated in midair at the center of the world, which was one hundred thousand kilometers in diameter. Ye Muxuan instantly understood what they were!
They were what the Blade Ray that had swept through the Origin Land had brought back, and they were his greatest guarantee of a place among the universe's powerful beings!
But even with these five specks of light, it would be very difficult for him to obtain what he wanted, given his current status. So there was no avoiding this trip to the Initial Universe...
Besides, if even the Origin Will couldn't detect anything unusual within the Primal Universe, he refused to believe that Original Ancestor, who had already been suppressed, could sense it in the Initial Universe! His newly acquired Heavy Treasure would probably be impossible to keep secret, but those few were all beings who could Control Space-Time. They wouldn't be interested in a Heavy Treasure, much less target him, a World Lord! After all, though the treasure was extremely precious to him and could be called a great opportunity, it was still just a Heavy Treasure—not a Peak Supreme Treasure, let alone a Supreme Treasure of the Universe. Those were the foundations of an entire race. Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare take the gamble!
