"Reporting to you, Ancestor, I have not yet chosen a Chaos Tablet." Su Yu replied swiftly, excitement surging within him.

"Mm. You cultivate the Law of Wood, so it would be best for you to choose the Mother Ancestor Chaos Tablet. It just so happens that I cultivate the same path."

Su Heng said with a faint smile.

Among the 52 Chaos Tablets, there naturally could not be only one devoted to the laws of wood and space. In truth, the Mother Ancestor Chaos Tablet was not considered one of the dominant or powerful lineages.

After all, everyone capable of creating a Chaos Tablet was a top figure at least at the level of a Universe Overlord!

"The Mother Ancestor Chaos Tablet? Understood, Ancestor." Su Yu agreed after only a moment of thought.

He did not place much importance on future potential. To him, succeeding in breaking through to immortality was enough!

What was more, this was an ancestor who cultivated the same lineage as him. It would be convenient to seek guidance from him in the future!

"Mm." Su Heng nodded in satisfaction.

It was only thirty years, after all. To him, it could be treated as a chance to relax. Besides, guiding others also helped him organize his own insights into the laws, which would be somewhat beneficial for creating ultimate techniques.

Time passed quietly, and ten years flashed by.

Of the thousand geniuses who had once entered Chaos City, only 912 remained.

On the rooftop of his residence, Su Yu opened his eyes with delight. Just moments ago, he had finally comprehended the profound change in the first illustration of the Mother Ancestor Chaos Tablet!

"I'll challenge the Tongtian Bridge!"

With a thought, Su Yu arrived at the plaza of the Tongtian Bridge plane.

Not far from the plaza stood a man in a black robe embroidered with stars. He had four ears, but no nose.

"Greetings, Lord Overseer." Su Yu respectfully bowed to him.

"Here to challenge the Tongtian Bridge?" Overseer Bafen asked with a smile. He remembered the young man before him; it was said that he was a blood descendant of some Highness.

"Yes." Su Yu nodded.

"Go on. The Mother Ancestor Tongtian Bridge is currently vacant." Overseer Bafen waved his hand.

Whoosh!

Su Yu turned into an afterimage and flew directly toward a Tongtian Bridge that stretched into the distant end of heaven and earth. From afar, he saw the stone stele before it, bearing the two words, "Mother Ancestor."

The Mother Ancestor Tongtian Bridge, while inferior to the Jiuyu Tongtian Bridge, still had twenty-four levels.

As early as ten years ago, after comprehending the Chaos Tablet, Su Yu had attempted the Tongtian Bridge like everyone else.

Unfortunately, his understanding of the laws had been extremely shallow then, and he had been unable to pass even the first level!

Later, under Ancestor Su Heng's guidance, he had comprehended the Law of Space to a certain degree. Only then did he pass the first level a few years later.

Today, he had made significant progress on the path of the Law of the Origin of Wood, which was why he wanted to see whether he could pass the second level of the Tongtian Bridge!

If he could pass it, he might even rival those geniuses of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm!

The Tongtian Bridge stretched all the way to the end of heaven and earth, shrouded in hazy white mist, with surging seawater below.

Su Yu soon arrived at the end of the second level of the Mother Ancestor Tongtian Bridge.

"Choose your opponent. You may select a warrior, a spirit reader controller, or a spirit reader illusionist. Choose any one of them. Defeat your opponent, and you will pass the second level of the Tongtian Bridge."

Before Su Yu was a massive cloud of mist, from which a voice emerged.

"I choose... a warrior!" Su Yu said solemnly.

He was a controller. Choosing a warrior would be the easiest way to win!

Whoosh!

A mass of black liquid immediately flew out of the clouds. It began to gather in midair, forming into a mysterious figure wearing a black mask.

This mysterious figure carried the forest-green longsword, the "Forest Divine Weapon," on his back. Beneath the black mask, a pair of cold eyes stared at Su Yu as he spoke. "Let the battle begin!"

Less than two minutes into the battle, Su Yu was sent out of the Tongtian Bridge. The challenge had failed.

He was still quite some distance away from the second level of the Tongtian Bridge!

"Still, with Ancestor's guidance, passing the third level before I leave the Initial Universe will not be a problem!" Su Yu was not discouraged. After all, he had only come into contact with the Law of Space for a short time.

"He didn't pass, but that's not bad either."

Within Chaos City, Su Heng received Bafen's email. After smiling, he tossed the matter to the back of his mind.

Given the talent of his elder brother's descendant, reaching the third level before leaving Chaos City would already be quite good. At that time, he would have hope of entering the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm through the qualification battles.

What mattered most now was creating an ultimate technique!

Su Heng swept his hand across a spot on the rooftop. The Law of Wood and the Law of Space combined, leaving behind a mark several inches wide.

"Space fusion, teleportation, Power of Nirvana... How can I combine this power with teleportation?" Su Heng sank into thought.

In his estimation, if a massive amount of compressed Power of Nirvana could strike an enemy instantly, it would inflict tremendous damage!

Even an undying divine body would have much of it annihilated.

However, fulfilling this required many prerequisites. Compressing the Power of Nirvana required extremely powerful Law Divine Power, and how to use it together with spatial teleportation was another difficult problem.

"Compression, fusion..."

Time passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years passed in the Primal Universe.

The batch of Cosmic-level geniuses who had entered the Initial Universe back then had all become Domain Lords.

Yet as the years passed, only 523 of the original thousand remained.

"Your Highness Su Yu, since you have now advanced to the Domain Lord level, you may choose to be assigned outside the universe kingdom. Since your hometown is in the Noah Universe Kingdom, would you like to go there?"

Within the Virtual Universe, Su Yu met with two staff members from the Virtual Universe Company.

"Then I'll go to the Noah Universe Kingdom."

The present Su Yu was no longer the immature young man he had been ten thousand years ago. Tempered by countless dangers, even missions of utter desperation, he had grown into a core Highness of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm!

"I should go home and take a look. I just wonder how much longer it will take Ancestor to break through."

After the two staff members departed, Su Yu murmured to himself.

Over ten thousand years apart, the messages Ancestor had sent him could be counted on one hand. He could only pray that Su Heng would succeed.

"Instant Nirvana."

Within the Mother Ancestor Tongtian Bridge, Su Heng held a divine weapon and shouted coldly at the gatekeeper before him.

An attack formed from black laws instantly invaded the other party's body.

"Aah!"

A shrill scream rang out.

Since Su Heng was only at the World Master realm, the gatekeeper of the twentieth level could likewise only be at the World Master realm and did not possess an undying body!

In merely a few seconds, the opponent turned to nothingness, and the passage that had been blocked opened as well.

The twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge—passed!

"As expected of a peak ultimate technique. Even World Power is enough to annihilate someone at the same level. It would be useless even if their understanding of the laws surpassed mine by a little."

Watching the gatekeeper fall, a faint smile appeared on Su Heng's face.
