"Again? I thought that guy had spent the past thousand years fully focused on breaking through to immortality. Who would have thought he had gone to comprehend the Law of Space instead? What a stubborn fellow. Say, he isn't really planning to gain recognition from all Ten Great Laws directly, is he?"

At the center of Chaos City, True Yan King looked into the distance with a complicated expression.

Of the Ten Great Laws, only the Law of Time Origin likely had yet to acknowledge him. Was he already this monstrous as a World Lord?

Then what were King-level warriors like them supposed to do?

Unfortunately, he had been trapped at this bottleneck for countless ages. As for breaking through, who knew how much longer it would take?

"I hope the human race produces more geniuses like this. Though, should I also look for some overlooked disciples in the genius battles—ones who might accumulate strength and eventually soar?"

True Yan King muttered to himself inwardly.

"Recognition from the Law of Space, comprehension of the teleportation category, exactly one thousand years. Hmm, time to rest for a while. I've already cultivated for four thousand years."

Inside his residence in Chaos City, Su Heng spoke with a broad smile.

By now, he had completed two-thirds of his goals. All he needed to do next was peacefully comprehend his ultimate techniques.

And that would not take too long!

Immersing his consciousness into the Virtual Universe, Su Heng began reviewing his emails. During these several thousand years of seclusion, he had lowered his email notifications to the minimum. Unless something major happened, he would not receive any alerts.

There were not many emails in total—just thirty-seven. Two of them had been sent by Mother Ancestor.

These were the first emails Su Heng checked. Although the fact that they had appeared here meant they were not particularly urgent, they had still been sent by his teacher.

"Su Heng, if you see this email, withdraw your clone. Recently, alien races have been targeting you for assassination."

When Su Heng saw the first email, a grave expression immediately appeared on his face.

Although the Four-Silver Clone could rival a high-level King in divine power, in terms of the soul, he was currently not even comparable to a high-level Marquis-level warrior!

That was why Su Heng had remained within the Guangluo Shattered Star Belt. The two Kings stationed in the Shattered Star Belt were not adept at soul attacks!

For such an important matter, his teacher had not sent him a message through a special channel. Did that mean she had a solution?

Suppressing his impatience, Su Heng opened the next email.

"Your senior brother has already gone to the Extraterritorial Battlefield to protect you."

It was a very brief sentence, but it deeply moved Su Heng.

Mother Ancestor had likely known that if the Four-Silver Clan clone returned, it would probably delay Su Heng's breakthrough.

Thus, after warning him as much as possible, she had swiftly dispatched his King-level Invincible senior brother to protect him.

"Senior Brother... If I get the chance in the future, I must find another Beast God Inheritance Token."

Su Heng silently remembered this. His senior brother also followed the Way of the Wood-Space Beast God. Like True Yan King, he had been stuck at the bottleneck for countless ages.

With an inheritance token, his chances of breaking through to Universe Venerable would greatly increase!

At the same time, through their soul connection, the Four-Silver Clan clone quickly learned what had happened. It immediately left the Guangluo Shattered Star Belt and used the Star-Eating Grass on its body to teleport through the God Kingdom back into the universe country.

His combat insights had accumulated sufficiently. All that remained was a long period of refinement.

Su Heng continued reading the remaining emails.

Three had been sent by the old ancestor, more than ten by his family, and the rest by friends.

"Kid Heng, I hope you break through to immortality soon."

This was an email Su Luo had sent after receiving news of Su Heng. In Primal Universe time, it had been sent over ten thousand years ago.

"A genius disciple has appeared in your lineage. He has now become the Lineage Head."

Over the course of ten million years, Su Heng naturally had not remained entirely alone.

In fact, while he was still Cosmic-level, he had married a female member from the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and had three sons and one daughter with her.

However, she had not been fortunate. During a later life-and-death trial, she had fallen at the hands of an immortal from an alien race.

Although Su Heng later avenged her, she had ultimately still fallen. After that, he had no intention of seeking another partner.

After nearly several million years of development, the children Su Heng had originally left behind had gradually formed a major main lineage. Its population was probably already too large to count!

"A Lineage Head? Then it probably isn't one of those children."

Su Heng said quietly. With his abilities, nurturing someone to the peak of the World Lord realm was as easy as turning his hand.

However, he had not completely provided for those children. After giving each of them enough resources to cultivate to the World Lord realm, he had allowed them to travel through the universe on their own.

As for what realm they would ultimately reach, that depended on their personal development!

Unfortunately, none of his children had achieved anything particularly remarkable. Even after reaching the peak of the World Lord realm through accumulated time, they could only be considered ordinary.

They were still far from qualified to serve as Lineage Heads!

At the very least, one had to be a World Lord General to qualify as a Lineage Head!

"If I get the chance, I'll return to the family and see whose descendant it is." Su Heng muttered before continuing to review his emails.

"This peak genius battle has produced an outstanding disciple who became a core member of the Virtual Universe Company. If you have the time, Kid Heng, you can offer him some guidance. Oh, and that disciple is a descendant of your elder brother."

"A descendant of my elder brother? A core member, huh. It seems the family hasn't had anyone pass the genius battle in the past several million years. He is worth nurturing."

In truth, the moment Su Heng saw that this was his elder brother's descendant, he was already interested. During the first few hundred years after he had transmigrated here, it had been his Domain Lord elder brother who had taken care of him. Their bond had been quite deep.

Su Heng read through the remaining emails one by one and sent replies to them as well.

"By my calculations, they should be choosing their Chaos Tablets soon, right?"

Through the Virtual Universe Company, Su Heng contacted the junior named Su Yu.

At that moment, Su Yu was coincidentally following a reception envoy toward the city.

"Huh? An important notification? Damn, good thing I recently broke through to the Cosmic-level. Otherwise, it would have been hard to spare any consciousness."

After receiving the contact request, Su Yu swiftly immersed himself in the Virtual Universe. He then discovered that someone had sent him a call invitation—and that person's name was Su Heng!

Accept!

Without a second thought, Su Yu had his intelligent assistant answer the call. A projection of a gentle-faced young man wearing silver battle armor then appeared before him.

"Ancestor!" Su Yu respectfully bowed in greeting.

"Mm. You're in Chaos City now? Have you chosen a Chaos Tablet yet?" Su Heng nodded slightly and asked.

If the email had not indicated that this had happened recently, he would not have contacted him so quickly!
