Entering Chaos City

"Entering Chaos City... for these thirty years, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Boundary Heart Continent."

When the spacecraft started up, departing from the Virtual Universe Company headquarters and heading toward the Initial Universe, Zhang Dong belatedly realized this point.

This wasn't ordinary thirty years—it was time within the Initial Universe. Calculated by the flow rate of the Primordial Universe, the outside world would pass a full century.

"It will slow down my true meaning cultivation speed a bit," he mused inwardly. Under the watchful eyes of Chaos City Lord, he absolutely wouldn't dare attempt to go to the Boundary Heart Continent.

Even if a Universe Master didn't notice, suddenly having one person go missing wouldn't hold up to scrutiny.

However, even if it meant delaying thirty years, Zhang Dong still believed joining the Virtual Universe Company was worth it.

Backed by this towering tree, the resources, inheritances, and protection far surpassed walking alone or staying in the Ganwu Secret Realm.

Moreover, deepening his comprehension of the laws within the Primordial Universe system also brought him tremendous benefits.

Comprehending the laws and cultivation systems of different universes, cross-referencing them—this was something many True God Dominators dreamed of.

Besides, time wasn't worth much anyway.

The spacecraft's interior was vast. Most passengers were Immortal Gods, with a few Realm Lords as well.

The Virtual Universe Company occasionally auctioned off slots. These Realm Lords and Immortal Gods had entered through that method. When they saw Zhang Dong, a Cosmic Level, their eyes carried a hint of envy.

Zhang Dong sat by the window, quietly watching the ever-changing spacetime outside.

When the spacecraft reached the cosmic passage, an indescribable suffocating pressure suddenly descended. For an ordinary Cosmic Level, or even a typical Domain Lord, it would be hard to even stand.

With his demigod-level soul and body, he wasn't particularly uncomfortable, and could even clearly see the external scene.

It was an endlessly resplendent cosmic passage, countless lights and shadows interweaving.

At the same time, a distinct difference in time flow descended. Zhang Dong experienced it for the first time.

In his mind, several seconds had clearly passed, but in reality, only one second had gone by. This sensation was extremely peculiar. If he could pull it off in battle, he could often catch opponents off guard.

"Time flow alteration?" Zhang Dong vaguely sensed something.

The techniques he used in the trial tower, seemingly chaotic in time, actually only affected his own attack speed.

Using time flow to affect an opponent, or even an entire area—that required the comprehension of a Marquis or King level. Zhang Dong still had a long way to go. But experiencing it once was still immensely beneficial for his cultivation.

Whoosh!

The spacecraft moved extremely fast. This traversal lasted five or six minutes before they arrived inside the Initial Universe. The sense of time distortion completely vanished, returning to normal.

"Everyone, we have arrived in the Initial Universe," the Immortal God piloting the spacecraft said softly. "Next, we will reach Chaos City."

At that moment, the ceiling above opened wide, directly revealing the external scene. This wasn't a simulation—no so-called hundred percent simulation could replicate the outside view.

Everyone's gaze turned outward.

It was an extremely dazzling and bizarre scene—like the birth of heaven and earth, or like the arrival of an apocalypse. Different realms of understanding led to different interpretations.

A small universe that hadn't finished its evolution would produce such a sight. Laws manifested externally. It could be called the creation of the world, or it bore some resemblance to the end of days.

Chaos energy swirled. The distant sky cracked open, vast amounts of strange secret patterns flowing and floating. Countless threads, endless in number, continuously interwove, as if infinitely expanding the entire heaven and earth.

Those Immortal Gods and Realm Lords stared with burning eyes, trying to comprehend as much as possible. Zhang Dong did the same.

But the spacecraft soon closed its ceiling and sped straight toward Chaos City.

When the spacecraft landed in Chaos City, all passengers disembarked. Zhang Dong casually glanced around—there were thirteen Immortal Gods and six Realm Lords.

City Lord's Mansion.

Chaos City Lord routinely inspected this new batch. If any Immortal God was entering Chaos City for the first time, they would be under strict surveillance, so his main focus was on the Realm Lords and Zhang Dong.

A Universe Master controlled spacetime. Within this vast range, Chaos City Lord could instantly see through everyone's details.

With just one glance, Chaos City Lord finished examining everyone. But he couldn't see the Jade Green Bubble inside Zhang Dong's body at all.

A divine object capable of traversing two Source Worlds, even Source Worlds on different timelines—a Universe Master simply couldn't spy on it.

"Strange. This new Cosmic Level clearly has no issues, so why do I feel he's somewhat special?"

Chaos City Lord's gaze remained fixed on Zhang Dong.

The Jade Green Bubble also concealed the different systems. Chaos City Lord couldn't see through anything, but a Universe Master's intuition told him Zhang Dong was special.

If there were no obstruction, he would have been able to see the particles inside Zhang Dong's body, each one containing various mysteries.

Chaos City was ancient and majestic. The Reception Envoy flew over, guiding those powerful beings who had arrived for the first time.

A few Immortals had already left, heading to the Chaos Stele site to meditate.

The Reception Envoy led the group through the city, introducing each area. Zhang Dong was already thinking about which Chaos Stele to choose. He was currently cultivating time as his main focus, but in the future, it certainly wouldn't be limited to time.

If he didn't walk the Beast God Path, then to become a Universe Master, he would have to comprehend two high-level laws.

Time. Space.

There were a total of 52 Chaos Steles in Chaos City. The number of human Universe Masters wasn't even that high, so most were likely left behind by Universe Overlords.

As for High Venerables, they likely lack the qualification.

"In the future, I will inevitably cultivate both space and time. Choosing a Chaos Stele naturally has to be one left by a Universe Master or a Universe Strongest."

Before seeing them with his own eyes, Zhang Dong's heart was torn between the Universe Chaos Stele and the Giant Axe Chaos Stele.

"Everyone, next we will go to select the Chaos Steles," the Reception Envoy said. Hearing this, Zhang Dong looked over.

When the Chaos City introduction was happening just now, he was completely distracted.

Those Realm Lords and the first-time Immortal Gods obediently followed the Reception Envoy into a corridor.

Inside the corridor were rows of giant paintings.

Zhang Dong first skipped past the Chaos Steles that were entirely about space laws and headed straight for the Giant Axe Stele.

The strongest on humanity's surface, left behind by Giant Axe, also recognized as the number one Chaos Stele. Zhang Dong observed it for a long time, then went to look at the painting corresponding to the Universe Chaos Stele.

After that, he examined other paintings related to time.

In the end, Zhang Dong chose the Universe Chaos Stele, the second-ranked Chaos Stele in the human race.

"The Universe Chaos Stele?"

"He actually dares to choose the Universe Chaos Stele."

Hearing that Zhang Dong had picked the Universe Chaos Stele, this batch of Realm Lords and Immortal Gods were somewhat surprised.
