The Cosmic Passage's Fortune

Inside the Cosmic Passage, space seemed to stretch into fine threads, and the flow of time felt almost tangible here.

Light flowed through the passage like liquid, pulsing and contracting, with starlight occasionally flickering out like lost meteors searching for refuge in endless darkness.

As the spacecraft entered the Cosmic Passage, a strange sensation washed over everyone, and many of the geniuses aboard began to feel unwell.

This was due to the difference in time flow between the Primordial Universe and the Primordial Universe—two distinct temporal forces colliding, causing chaotic time flow within the passage.

After all, the time flow ratio between the Primordial Universe and the Primordial Universe was 1:3.28.

Their hundred years of enlightenment, when converted, amounted to just over thirty years in the Primordial Universe.

The chaotic time flow made many feel ill; some swayed unsteadily, others collapsed to the ground, pale-faced and teary-eyed.

Feng Hui also felt this discomfort. Though his head throbbed with pain, he managed to stay standing, though his vision blurred.

Just as Feng Hui was struggling, the half-jade pendant in his sea of consciousness suddenly flared with light again.

Beneath its glow, he seemed to no longer feel the discomfort caused by the chaotic time flow.

At the same time, he sensed something peculiar.

Feng Hui calmed his mind, closed his eyes, and focused. Soon, he detected a strange law force around him.

This law force was very odd, divided into two distinct fluctuations that interwove and collided.

One fluctuation was vast, majestic, and fast; the other was pure and flawless but weaker, with a slower rhythm.

These two entirely different fluctuations intertwined and clashed within the Cosmic Passage, creating fierce conflict and opposition, yet under some higher-order rule, they achieved a delicate balance.

Within this strange domain woven from two temporal fluctuations, it seemed as if the deepest secrets of the universe lay hidden, waiting for a destined one to explore and comprehend.

"Could it be... the power of the Time Origin Law?"

Feng Hui speculated inwardly.

"Among these two fluctuations of time law, the majestic, faster one should come from the Primordial Universe, and the weaker, slower one from the Primordial Universe."

The chaotic time flow in the Cosmic Passage seemed to trigger a reaction from the half-jade pendant in Feng Hui's sea of consciousness. The light it emitted appeared to be slowly transforming his body, helping him adapt to the temporal disorder.

In this process, Feng Hui's affinity for the Time Law seemed to be rapidly increasing.

Previously, he had focused on the Wood Origin Law and its superior law, the Space Law, with little talent for the Time Law.

Now, though he had never comprehended the Time Origin Law before, at this moment, it felt incredibly clear and beautiful to him.

Feng Hui immersed himself in perception, finding the Time Law growing clearer and his comprehension deepening. Soon, he crossed the threshold of the Time Law, and ultimately, his clarity surpassed that of any other law he had ever comprehended.

Suddenly, the light from the pendant vanished, and Feng Hui withdrew from his epiphany.

"We have now entered the Primordial Universe," the Black Armor Silver Horn Venerable said with a smile.

"The Primordial Universe?"

"We've finally arrived."

Many geniuses, pale and lying on the ground, scrambled to their feet.

"What a pity—only five or six minutes in the Cosmic Passage. If only it could have been longer," Feng Hui thought, sensing the half-jade pendant in his sea of consciousness, now motionless again, and feeling somewhat helpless.

To this day, he still didn't know what the pendant truly was. Aside from allowing his two avatars—one in the Primordial Universe and one in the Dongji Sacred Land Universe—to share thoughts and memories completely, it had only stirred today due to the chaotic time flow in the Cosmic Passage.

At other times, no matter what he tried, the pendant ignored him, utterly unresponsive.

Of course, even so, Feng Hui knew he had struck it lucky.

In just five or six minutes inside the Cosmic Passage, his comprehension of the Time Origin Law had already surpassed his previous mastery of the Wood Law and Space Law.

Truly, three years of hard cultivation could not match a single moment of "enlightenment."

It saved him countless hours of grueling effort.

More importantly, the light from the pendant had greatly improved his affinity for the Time Law.

Now, Feng Hui's talent for the Time Law even exceeded his talents for the Wood Law and Space Law.

It was worth noting that Feng Hui's human avatar was already a genius in law comprehension, ranked among the top few hundred in the entire human universe from the Genius War. Meanwhile, his Dongji clan avatar in the Dongji Sacred Land Universe possessed extraordinary talent in the Space Law.

With the combined talents of these two bodies—especially the Dongji clan avatar, which boasted superior bloodline and exceptional aptitude—Feng Hui's Space Law talent had already surpassed that of Guge, the first-place winner of this Genius War, making him truly extraordinary.

But now, his Time Law talent had become even greater than his Space Law talent!

This was a monumental blessing that could shape the course of his future cultivation!

"You may address me as Ice Universe Venerable."

After entering the Primordial Universe, the Black Armor Silver Horn Venerable addressed the thousand geniuses.

"We will soon arrive at Chaos City."

"Chaos City is where those who enter the Primordial Universe reside and cultivate. I am your guide, and in the future, I will command you at headquarters. I hope to see all of you alive thirty years from now."

Feng Hui felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew that even Chaos City wasn't absolutely safe—hunting Chaos Beasts for their Chaos True Spirit, for instance, came with mortal danger.

Within the vast, boundless, and unfathomably deep universe, every inch of space held unknowns and wonders, but it was also fraught with peril, filled with unpredictable challenges and risks.

To exist within it was like a tiny, solitary boat sailing across a vast ocean—every decision, every step forward required reverence for the unknown, and one could never afford the slightest negligence or slackening of vigilance.

The path of the strong left no room for carelessness or oversight; this was an essential quality for reaching the pinnacle.

"Alright, we've arrived. Remember, once you enter Chaos City, obey the words of the Chaos City reception envoy."

The castle-shaped palace vessel carrying Feng Hui and the others slowly came to a halt above an ancient city.

"Boom!"

The gates opened, and all one thousand geniuses flew out of the vessel.

Then, the palace-shaped vessel shot into the sky, transforming into a dazzling streak of light, like a meteor tearing across the heavens, leaving behind a brilliant trail before swiftly vanishing into the distant horizon.

Feng Hui stood in midair, gazing down at the ancient, majestic city below, his heart surging with a myriad of emotions.

As the sacred cultivation ground of the human race, this city stood silently within the Primordial Universe, nurturing and witnessing generation after generation of human powerhouses, quietly revealing the marks of time and the weight of history.

Chaos City—I'm here!
