Time flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred thousand years had passed.

Within the Thousand Treasure River territory of the Virtual Universe Company.

Inside a magnificent palace, Su Heng slowly opened his eyes, then shook his head and murmured.

"A hundred thousand years hasn't improved my destiny much. It seems I'll have to search for places where time flows faster."

Ten eras had passed since his destiny awakened, yet Su Heng had not felt any improvement in his genetic level.

As for his talent and comprehension? They might have increased, but since the time had been too short, the improvement was likely minimal.

"Will it take a hundred eras, or another ten million years?" Su Heng guessed.

The genetic level granted by his destiny was the primary reason Su Heng possessed such formidable combat power!

Otherwise, how could he possibly attain strength considered powerful even among Universe Venerables merely through some ultimate techniques and amplification?

"Forget it. I'll wait patiently." Su Heng rose to his feet and flew into the distance.

Ever since Su Heng killed Spirit Feather King a hundred thousand years ago, he had remained in the Primal Universe.

Over this long period, he had been both perfecting his divine body and waiting for news from his teacher.

In the end, he successfully perfected his basic divine body to the peak King level.

After all, his divine body had already been exceedingly powerful, so perfecting it had been quite simple.

With a basic divine power a hundred thousand times stronger, combined with his numerous methods, Su Heng's full-power burst now reached two hundred million times a World Master's strength. Even among Universe Venerables, he was considered powerful!

However, due to his insufficient Law comprehension and lack of a heavy treasure, Su Heng could currently only contend with elementary Universe Venerables, perhaps those at the middle level.

Such strength was already enough for Su Heng to explore cosmic secret realms!

Inside Mother Ancestor's palace.

Mother Ancestor received Su Heng. After hearing his question, she lightly shook her head.

"The time isn't right yet. The best opportunity to enter that cosmic secret realm is a hundred eras from now. I've also been inviting friends recently. With your current strength, it's still too dangerous."

That secret realm was a place where even high-level Universe Venerables could perish, one that even Universe Overlords considered dangerous!

One had to know that Universe Overlords generally had genetic levels around fifty to a hundred times greater. Based solely on their divine bodies, they possessed five hundred million to one billion times a World Master's strength!

Moreover, the amplification secret techniques cultivated by Universe Overlords were generally around fifty to a hundred times stronger as well. At full power, even the weakest could reach ten billion times a World Master's strength. (Venerable Peifeng in the original work was at this level, perhaps even higher.)

Furthermore, Universe Overlords generally possessed around two to four supreme treasures. With supreme treasure defenses, ordinary attacks could be greatly weakened.

Yet even so, Mother Ancestor still considered that secret realm incomparably dangerous!

But if it was so dangerous, why did she intend to bring Su Heng along?

Because Su Heng possessed a clone!

With his Four-Silver Clan clone, Su Heng was the best possible means of exploring the secret realm!

After a clone perished, Su Heng only needed to expend some resources to condense another one.

However, to ensure Su Heng could survive even the ultimate danger, Mother Ancestor had him continue waiting. He had yet to find a suitable defensive heavy treasure!

"Such a high level?" Su Heng was somewhat surprised. Based on what Mother Ancestor had said before, he had thought the strength of a Universe Venerable would be enough.

"Yes. Continue cultivating. I'll help you search for a heavy treasure. Right now, your greatest priority is comprehending the Law of Space and cultivating amplification secret techniques." Mother Ancestor nodded slightly.

"Alright." Su Heng could only agree.

As it happened, he had recently received some information. Since the cosmic secret realm was still far off, he might as well go take a look.

Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Capital Star.

Su Zhuo stood respectfully outside an enormous estate on Capital Star.

Several tens of thousands of years earlier, Su Heng had specifically arranged for him to stay in this medium-sized universe nation under the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom.

Although he did not know Su Heng's specific reasons, Su Zhuo had diligently built his position over the past tens of thousands of years.

Relying on the immense prestige of the immortal Su family, he eventually became one of the five major factions in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, apart from the two holy lands!

Not long ago, he suddenly received news that Ancestor Su Heng would soon be coming to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

Thus, he had specifically waited outside the estate.

Whoosh!

Space rippled slightly, and a figure abruptly appeared in the void outside the estate.

"Ancestor!" Su Zhuo bowed respectfully.

"Mm. Let's go. First, tell me what has happened in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire recently." Su Heng nodded slightly, then led Su Zhuo toward the estate.

Along the way, Su Zhuo continuously spoke of events in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire over the past tens of thousands of years, though he had long since sent these matters to Su Heng through email.

Yet judging from the situation, Su Heng had not entered the Virtual Universe Company to check his mail.

"An immortal fell within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire tens of thousands of years ago?" After hearing the key information, Su Heng nodded inwardly.

In truth, he had read the Virtual Universe emails. He was only asking again as a precaution, to avoid overlooking any information.

"You've done well over these tens of thousands of years. These are some resources. Cultivate diligently. You can still break through to immortality in the universe!"

After hearing all manner of information, Su Heng smiled and offered Su Zhuo a few words of encouragement before handing him a World Ring.

"Yes, Ancestor." Su Zhuo accepted the World Ring, his face full of excitement.

That was right. Even if he was not a core member of one of the five major factions, he still had a chance to break through to immortality!

Afterward, Su Heng left the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, summoned a spacecraft, and headed for the coordinates of the Silverblue Empire that Su Zhuo had given him.

Solar System.

A spacecraft abruptly appeared there.

"Huyan Bo's secret technique is rather impressive. Even an ordinary King-level expert from a common background might not be able to discover this place."

Inside the spacecraft, Su Heng looked at the crimson-red star in the distance and murmured.

After more than ten million years, he had finally arrived at the point in time when the original story began.

He wondered what time it was on Earth now.

However, it should not yet have reached the Nolan Mountain Family arc.

Stowing away the spacecraft, Su Heng used teleportation to arrive directly above a blue planet.

Earth!

Several dozen satellites circled Earth at a constant speed.

Su Heng released the immortal divine power hidden within his divine body, and everything on Earth immediately appeared in his mind.

It was the year 2059. Luo Feng had just received Yun Mo Star's inheritance and was currently cultivating under Babata's strict training.

Hong and Lei Shen were still in the base city, exchanging insights on cultivation.

Meanwhile, deep beneath an ocean far beyond Asia, tremendous vitality lay concealed within a giant egg!

One of the twelve peak Starry Sky Behemoths, the Golden Horned Beast!

In truth, after reaching Universe Overlord, amplification was basically no longer the focus. The main factors were the divine body, meaning genetic level, along with supreme treasures and secret techniques. There would be another chapter later.
