Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe

Unknown world. In a pool of dark green water that emitted a strange radiance, many oval golden giant eggs, each about ten meters in diameter, were scattered and soaking inside.

On this day. "Crack."

One of the golden giant eggs in the pool suddenly trembled slightly.

"Crack." "Crack."

As time passed, the trembling of the golden giant egg grew larger and larger, and its frequency increased higher and higher.

Suddenly—"Snap."

A fine crack appeared on the surface of the golden giant egg.

Gradually, a continuous series of crisp cracking sounds rang out. More and more cracks spread across the surface of the golden giant egg, until it finally shattered completely, and from within crawled out an "unknown creature" covered in sticky fluid.

Feng Hui struggled to open his eyes, which felt as if they were glued shut. "Where... where am I?"

Through the mucus smeared over his eyelids, he barely made out the dark green pool water around him and the oval golden giant eggs soaking in it.

At that moment, the half piece of jade glowing within his sea of consciousness caught his attention.

"This... isn't this the other half of the jade that split apart?"

"Right, during my crossing, my soul and the jade split in two. One half ended up in the Devouring Starry Sky world. This should be the other half. I just don't know where this is, or if it's still in the Devouring Starry Sky world."

Feng Hui focused his consciousness on the jade in his sea of consciousness. "Whoosh." The scene of the genius battle appeared before his eyes again.

After switching back and forth a few times, Feng Hui gained some understanding.

Because of the jade, he had completely "split apart."

Now, he had two bodies. One was in the Devouring Starry Sky world, and the other was in this unknown world. Through the mysterious connection between the two halves of the jade, the memories of these two bodies were completely shared. Both were Feng Hui, and both could act independently, similar to a clone or a second soul.

Suddenly, a primal urge that seemed to rise from the depths of his soul made Feng Hui instinctively open his mouth and bite into the broken eggshell beside him.

"Crunch." "Crunch."

In just a few minutes, the oval golden giant eggshell, ten meters in diameter, was completely devoured by Feng Hui.

After eating the eggshell, the sticky fluid on his body was also absorbed, revealing his true form. From the reflection in the pool water, he could see a humanoid creature standing in the pool, nearly fifteen meters tall, with golden scales, two dark green dragon horns on its head, and a long dragon tail behind it.

"I've become a little dragon-man? Oh no, I should say a big dragon-man."

Just as Feng Hui was examining his new body, "Rumble," a spaceship with sleek lines, like a drop of water, suddenly appeared and slowly descended from the sky, stopping beside the dark green pool.

The surface of this water-drop-shaped spaceship was smooth as a mirror, faintly shimmering with an ice-blue light.

After the spaceship stopped, a dragon-man clad in pitch-black battle armor, radiating a terrifying aura, flew out.

"Another little one of my Dongdi Clan has hatched." This dragon-man strongman looked at Feng Hui warmly and smiled. "Little one, come with me. Cultivate well in the academy, and maybe one day you'll become a super powerhouse."

"Dongdi Clan? Could it be..." Some guesses flashed through Feng Hui's mind.

"Swoosh."

Feng Hui's dragon-man clone was sucked into the spaceship without any resistance. Then, the water-drop-shaped spaceship turned into a streak of blue light and vanished into the sky.

"So that's how it is. It seems this half of my soul, along with the remaining half of the jade, fell into the Universe Sea, into the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe beside the Primal Universe." In a sprawling academy, the little dragon-man Feng Hui put down a memory crystal that had been pressed against his brow and let out a long sigh.

This academy was called "Jia 312 Academy," located in the Jia 312 Plane. It was one of the many academies that nurtured newborn Dongdi Clan children.

The Dongdi Clan, named after the great Dongdi Ancestor, was the dominant race in the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe.

The Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe was located in the Universe Sea outside the Primal Universe. It had existed for who knows how many reincarnation eras, and because of the great Dongdi Ancestor, a being who had transcended reincarnation, it was eternal and indestructible.

Familiar with the original work, Feng Hui knew that the Dongdi Ancestor was a Void True God powerhouse, a whole tier above the True God, who was called the strongest in the universe. His true body had already left the Universe Sea and was roaming the Origin Continent.

The entire Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe, 3.2 billion light-years in diameter, was like a firefly compared to the blazing sun when set against the vast Primal Universe. Yet it was filled with countless powerhouses, with hundreds of Universe Masters, comparable to half the strength of the Primal Universe's powerhouses.

This was because the powerhouses in the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe had no three-reincarnation-era lifespan limit. Their cultivation time far exceeded that of the Primal Universe's powerhouses. With such a long accumulation of time, it was natural to have a terrifying number of strong individuals.

A race like this, having produced so many super powerhouses, had naturally evolved over countless reincarnation eras to have extremely powerful bloodlines and talents.

Newborn Dongdi Clan members, even the most ordinary ones, were at least at the Star level at birth, and would naturally become Domain Lords upon reaching adulthood.

Feng Hui's dragon-man clone was born from a golden giant egg. Unlike ordinary black giant eggs, golden giant eggs represented a superior bloodline within the Dongdi Clan. After hatching and eating the eggshell, they would be at the Universe level. Upon reaching adulthood, they could reach the peak of the Sector Lord level. At the same time, depending on the individual, they had top-tier talent in different laws.

Feng Hui's clone had top-tier talent in the Wood Law and the Space Law.

In terms of law talent, the golden-scaled Dongdi Clan was even stronger than the famous Golden-Horned Beast of the Primal Universe.

"Feng Hui! Hurry up! Today is Teacher Wala's class. If we're late, we're dead!" A huge dragon-man head poked out from behind the door, speaking in a muffled voice.

"Coming, coming."

Feng Hui placed the memory crystal on a shelf already filled with crystals and hurriedly pushed the door open to leave.

The muffled-voiced dragon-man who came to call Feng Hui was a "classmate" born on the same day as Feng Hui, named Zuolong. They were now cultivating together in the same academy, and he was considered a fairly familiar friend of Feng Hui's.

It was worth mentioning that although the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe, being smaller than the Primal Universe, had scarce resources, knowledge was extremely cheap and easy to obtain. For the ancient Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe, the knowledge left behind by generations of powerhouses was unimaginably vast to those in the Primal Universe.

One could say this was an ocean of knowledge, where every Dongdi Clan member could freely swim as they pleased.

At the same time, the Dongdi Clan's nurturing of its young was very thorough and effective. Most newborns were sent to specialized academies for unified training.

The Jia 312 Academy, where Feng Hui was now, was one such academy specifically for nurturing Dongdi Clan children with superior bloodlines.

Lecture District Hall 4 was 100 kilometers long and 80 kilometers wide—far larger than an ordinary city on Blue Star—yet it was merely a venue for the academy's teachers to hold class. At the very back of Hall 4 sat a casual arrangement of over a thousand seats, and from time to time, streaks of light flashed across tens of kilometers as Golden Scale Dragonmen shot toward them. With a whoosh, Feng Hui and Zuolong also appeared before the thousand-plus seats. The two casually picked seats on the left-front side.

"Look, it's Feng Hui and Zuolong!"

"Those are the two newest births? They look so weak."

"Mengka, you were only born twenty days before them—you're not much stronger."

Some of the Dongdi Clan children already seated whispered among themselves as they eyed the newly arrived Feng Hui and Zuolong.

Zuolong reached over and poked Feng Hui. "See? We're the youngest ones here, and they're already gossiping about us again."

"Let them talk. In a few days, when a new kid shows up, we'll be old news." Feng Hui gave a wry smile. They were, after all, newborn children, their minds still immature—it gave him the awkward feeling of an adult sitting in a kindergarten.

Boom! Teacher Wala arrived and began the lecture. Instantly, the hall fell dead silent; no one dared to disturb the teacher's lesson.
