Primal Universe, Ancestral God Sect, Ancestral God Palace, Ancestral God Altar. A vast and majestic aura enveloped the entire Ancestral God Secret Realm. The three Ancestral Gods within the Ancestral God Palace opened their eyes in unison, each pair filled with terror!

The Origin Will of the Primal Universe was trembling!

A powerhouse was fighting against the Origin Will! And the Origin Will had been damaged!

Even countless epochs ago, when that madman from the Human Race repeatedly provoked the Origin Will head-on and waged war against it time and again, he had never managed to damage the Origin Will!

"Is it God Eye? Or the Lord of Skeletons?" The elderly Ancestral God's aged voice rose, echoing through the Ancestral God Altar.

"It shouldn't be. Both God Eye and the Lord of Skeletons are only at the peak of the ninth tier, not even as strong as the Original Ancestor was back then! They couldn't possibly have the qualifications to battle the Origin Will!" Another voice replied with certainty.

"Then is it the Eastern Emperor or Purple Moon?" In the current Universe Ocean, if one were to speak of strength surpassing God Eye and the Lord of Skeletons, it would only be the mysterious founders of those two eternal Holy Land Universes!

"..."

"It is within the Primal Universe!!!" In the next instant, the message transmitted by the Origin Will caused the expressions of the three Ancestral Gods to change instantly!

Shock! Fury! Terror! Fear!

Inside the Primal Universe, regardless of whether it was a material attack or a soul attack, the upper limit of any individual powerhouse's power would be suppressed to the peak of the sixth tier! Even the most powerful beings were no exception! Not even that madman from the Human Race could bypass it! Through endless cycles and endless epochs, there had never been an exception!

But now, a powerhouse was actually waging war against the Origin Will inside the Primal Universe, and had even managed to damage it!

How insane! How inconceivable!

"Find him!"

The entire Ancestral God Sect was instantly stirred into a frenzy! Countless powerhouses swarmed out in full force!

The Initial Universe was a miniature universe in a state of "initial evolution." At the heart of its origin, a milky-white light suddenly emerged, eventually condensing into a simple white-robed figure who stepped forward!

In Chaos City, within the Chaos Ruins, Chaos City Lord, who presided over the Initial Universe, stared at the white-robed figure before him, dumbfounded, as if he were in a dream!

In a void within the Primal Universe, beside a pond next to a palace, sat a small rockery. An old man with crystalline horns atop his head sat on a stone beside the rockery. Suddenly, he looked up, his gaze fixed on the endless void!

The piece of azure metal he had been toying with in his palm was silently crushed into powder!

In the Dark Universe, inside the quiet room of a spaceship, Ye Muxuan had been sitting motionless for a full month!

"The target star sector has been reached. The spaceship is beginning to decelerate. Estimated exit from the Dark Universe in ten seconds!" Nine Phoenix was faithfully executing Ye Muxuan's previous instructions.

Nine Phoenix was not yet an intelligent life form; its Intelligent Optical Brain lacked autonomous, human-like emotions. However, Ye Muxuan had recently felt that it was on the verge of evolving, like a confused young beast just beginning to develop consciousness. If it truly succeeded, it would be a joyous occasion.

"...10...9...8...3...2...1..."

In the Dark Universe, the flying spaceship decelerated and came to a halt. The silver-white, pyramid-shaped spaceship, which had been in a state of complete stillness, shuddered slightly and was kicked out of the Dark Universe!

Primal Universe, Crimson Star Sector. In the starry sky, a silver-white, pyramid-shaped spaceship about 2,000 meters tall suddenly appeared!

This was an E9 Rank alloy spaceship manufactured by the Machine Race! Although it wasn't made of pure metal, its performance was superior to ships of the same level made of pure metal! After all, the Machine Race could be called the undisputed leader in technology within the Primal Universe!

Inside the quiet room of the spaceship, the look in Ye Muxuan's eyes suddenly became incredibly sharp!

The light he had slashed out with his consciousness a month ago was truly beyond all expectations! Even in the long time before this, neither Muxuan nor he had ever known that such a thing existed within his consciousness! And as he recalled that light which swept through everything, it seemed to be a Blade Ray!

And within his sea of consciousness—or more accurately, within his consciousness—he could now perceive something!

It was not in his Origin Bead, not in his Internal World, and not in his sea of consciousness—where he had initially thought it was—but within his consciousness itself!

If that light could be understood as a Blade Ray, then this object, which appeared to be an Incomplete Flat Cylinder and was merely a small fragment, should be... a blade hilt? Or perhaps a part of a blade hilt?

For this past month, he had been pondering one thing: after slashing out that light in the origin of the universe, would the Origin Will of the Primal Universe kill him?

After all, the nature of his actions was no less severe than the provocations of the Original Ancestor back then!

And this Origin Will of the universe possessed intelligence!

Even if it were only the most primitive intelligence! It could still command the Ancestral God Sect, the most powerful force in the Primal Universe, to take action!

With the strength of the Ancestral God Sect, once a target was identified and permission from the Origin Will was granted, they would kill even the most powerful beings in the universe without hesitation! Crushing him would be no harder than him crushing an apprentice! And given his current status, the Human Race would absolutely not go to war with the Ancestral God Sect over him! To put it more bluntly, even if the Ancestral God Sect crushed him, the Human Race might not even know!

Therefore, the question now was whether the Origin Will of the Primal Universe knew who the target was!

Thus, Ye Muxuan had waited quietly in the Dark Universe, waiting for the arrival of the Ancestral God Sect's powerhouses!

If the Origin Will knew of his existence, a month would have been enough for the powerhouses of the Ancestral God Sect to surround him! And he would have had no possibility of escape! Whether in the Primal Universe or in the Universe Ocean!

Well, not to mention that he couldn't even enter the Universe Ocean.

But now that he was in the starry sky of the Primal Universe, his detectors could detect only a few C-rank spaceships within a radius of 100 million kilometers! There were no special targets!

So... was it because he couldn't be suppressed without the permission of the Supreme Rules, or was the Origin Will itself unable to determine who it was?

So, the Origin Will couldn't find him?!

At this thought, Ye Muxuan suddenly looked up, peering through the spaceship's 100% external virtual view into the depths of the endless void!

If the Supreme Rules did not allow it, that was one thing, but if the Origin Will couldn't even determine where he was within the Primal Universe, then what exactly was that small, incomplete fragment? And...

In his Internal World, the five light spots of different colors suspended in mid-air at the center of his 100,000-kilometer-diameter world also made Ye Muxuan instantly understand what they were!

These were the things brought back by the Blade Ray that had swept through the origin, and they were his greatest guarantee for establishing a foothold among the powerhouses of the universe!

However, even with these five light spots, it would be extremely difficult to obtain what he wanted with his current status! Therefore, this trip to the Initial Universe was a must...

Moreover, since even the Origin Will couldn't find any anomalies in the Primal Universe, he truly didn't believe that the Original Ancestor, who had been suppressed in the Initial Universe, could detect him either! Although it was highly likely that he wouldn't be able to hide this Heavy Treasure he had just obtained, those beings were all existences capable of controlling time and space; they wouldn't be interested in a single Heavy Treasure, nor would they take action against a mere World Lord like him! After all, while this Heavy Treasure was naturally extremely precious to him and could be called a great opportunity, it was ultimately just a Heavy Treasure, not a peak Supreme Treasure or a supreme-most treasure that formed the foundation of a race. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have dared to gamble!
