Time Palace

Since he had taken the three of them as personal disciples, Su Heng naturally had to fulfill his duties as their teacher.

However, since the three had only just entered the universe, Su Heng gave each of them two months of free time.

This time was not only meant to help them understand the common knowledge of the universe, but also to allow them to settle Earth's many affairs properly.

To ensure their safety, Su Heng had even specially deployed a squad led by a peak World Master to escort them.

In the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, a peak World Master was already enough to run rampant!

After dealing with Luo Feng and the others' affairs, Su Heng used God Kingdom teleportation to return to the Virtual Universe Company headquarters.

Within the Thousand Treasure River.

Mother Ancestor's palace.

"You want to exchange for a Time Palace?" Mother Ancestor looked at her most beloved young disciple before her, her brows knitting slightly.

"Didn't you say that we would head to a cosmic secret realm after a hundred epochs? If I cultivated normally, my strength would not improve much after a hundred epochs.

But with treasures like the Time Palace, I could arrange for my original body to cultivate while letting my clone gain experience in the universe.

With the two combined, perhaps my strength will undergo a transformation after a hundred epochs!"

Su Heng nodded slightly and stated his reason for wanting to exchange for it.

However, those were merely excuses. His true intention had always been to pave the way for his destiny!

Ten million years had allowed him to increase his genetic level a hundredfold. What about a hundred million years? A billion years?

Even if his destiny no longer increased his genetic level afterward, the talent enhancement from a billion years alone would be enough to send him soaring to the heavens in a single step!

But spending a billion years in the Primal Universe was simply far too long.

Given that much time, Luo Feng would probably become an Eternal True God!

Although a master did not necessarily need to surpass his disciple, as a transmigrator—especially one who had awakened a golden finger—Su Heng's pride did not want him to fall too far behind Luo Feng!

"The Time Palace is a treasure refined by a Universe Lord. It is inherently extremely valuable, and the energy it consumes to maintain time acceleration is also enormous. Even as your teacher, I fear I would not be able to support it for too long."

Although Su Heng had a legitimate reason, Mother Ancestor still did not think highly of the idea.

The Time Palace was divided into three levels: tenfold acceleration, hundredfold acceleration, and thousandfold acceleration.

The first level was manageable and relatively simple to refine. Even a King-level Invincible could exchange for it with Primal Chaos Units.

However, starting from hundredfold acceleration, it was no longer priced in Primal Chaos Units, but in Treasure Points. Furthermore, one had to possess the cultivation of a Universe Venerable to exchange for it!

A hundredfold Time Palace was roughly equivalent to an ordinary supreme treasure, while a thousandfold Time Palace was even more expensive, roughly equivalent to a top-tier supreme treasure!

And that was only because the Time Palace had the drawback of requiring vast amounts of energy for acceleration. Without that drawback, its value would likely rise several more levels!

"I still want to give it a try," Su Heng said with a resolute expression.

With his current strength, he had more than enough energy to sustain a hundredfold Time Palace. Even a thousandfold Time Palace could be maintained for a while if he gritted his teeth.

"Fine. I will apply for one for you, but remember this: if your comprehension has not improved much after ten epochs, you must stop using the Time Palace!"

Seeing Su Heng's determined expression, Mother Ancestor was somewhat helpless, but she ultimately agreed.

A hundredfold Time Palace cost only a few Treasure Points. To a Universe Overlord like her, it was nothing at all.

If she had not recently been arranging for Su Heng to find a Set of Supreme Treasures or some special supreme treasures, she would not have thought much of exchanging for even a thousandfold Time Palace!

As for the ten epochs, that was the optimal duration she had just calculated. Operating it for ten epochs would consume, at most, the value of one or two ordinary supreme treasures for Su Heng.

With Su Heng's current strength, comparable to that of a high-level Universe Venerable, he could still bear such a loss.

But any more than that would no longer be worth it.

"Thank you, Teacher." Su Heng smiled and bowed.

"Go back to your palace and wait. It should not take long." Mother Ancestor waved a hand and dismissed Su Heng.

As a King-level Invincible of the Virtual Universe Company, Su Heng also possessed his own palace within the Thousand Treasure River.

Just as Mother Ancestor had said, it was not long before two King-level experts arrived at Su Heng's palace.

"Annihilation King, these are the items arranged from above." A female King-level expert smiled at Su Heng as she spoke, taking out a World Ring and handing it to him.

"King Hua Ying, King Xi Zheng." Su Heng smiled and greeted the female King-level expert, then greeted the King-level expert beside her as well.

Ever since becoming a King-level expert, he had naturally joined the Hong Alliance. The two King-level experts before him were also members of the Hong Alliance.

However, King Hua Ying belonged to an alien race, while King Xi Zheng was human.

"All right, the mission is complete. We should be leaving as well!" After the three chatted briefly, King Hua Ying and King Xi Zheng quickly departed.

After all, this was the Virtual Universe Company headquarters. As an alien King-level expert, King Hua Ying herself would feel stifled if she remained too long.

After seeing the two off, Su Heng returned to his palace.

He immersed his divine power into the World Ring in his hand, and everything inside immediately appeared before his eyes.

The Time Palace was not constructed from especially top-tier materials, merely high-grade materials capable of bearing Law Secret Markings.

However, its true value had never lain in those materials, but in the Law Secret Markings arranged by a Universe Lord!

Using his divine power, Su Heng quickly took control of the Time Palace and understood its exact method of use.

"Let's go in and try it." Su Heng released his Four-Silver Clan clone while his original body stepped into the Time Palace.

At once, Su Heng felt the same sense of temporal and spatial separation he had experienced upon first entering the Initial Universe.

100:1!

A hundred days inside the Time Palace amounted to only one day passing in the Primal Universe!

An hour later, Su Heng's original body emerged from the Time Palace.

After sensing the energy that had just been consumed, Su Heng's expression immediately turned somewhat grave.

In just one hour, it had consumed energy worth 200,000 Primal Chaos Units!

That meant 4.8 million a day, and 1.7 billion Primal Chaos Units a year!

In other words, if Su Heng cultivated in the Time Palace for one year, he would roughly consume the entire fortune of an elementary King-level immortal!

Yet the effect was merely to accelerate time by a hundred years!

Such consumption was not something even a King-level Invincible could casually afford. Even a Universe Venerable would have to weigh it carefully!

However, resources were merely external things. If they could be converted into strength more quickly, Su Heng was more than willing.

Isn't it just some Primal Chaos Units? Once I seize that supreme treasure from the Extraterritorial Battlefield, it will be enough to cover my losses for ten epochs!
