Planning

Island No. 1.

In front of Building No. 16.

The building is 110 stories tall, one kilometer in length and width, with each floor standing 100 meters high.

The Flame World Lord pointed to the screen at the main entrance on the first floor and said, "Listen up, Highnesses. Those whose names appear on the screen are to reside in this building. Once you find your name, seek out the person standing next to the screen; he is the administrator for this building."

Li Dui spotted his name at a glance. His name was at the very top, followed by a serial number—16001.

Soon, the 200 individuals were separated from the main group.

"Greetings, Highnesses. I am the administrator of Building No. 16, and my name is Luosen," said the manager, whose ears hung down to his shoulders and whose nose resembled a fleshy ball.

"The number following your name is your room number. The building has 110 floors, with two Highnesses residing on each floor. The numbers are arranged from top to bottom. For example, Highness Li Dui, number 16001, will reside in the unit on the 110th floor facing the main entrance."

Someone asked, "Then the two hundred people only occupy up to the 11th floor. What are the bottom ten floors for?"

Luosen replied with a chuckle, "Those are reserve rooms and living quarters for our staff."

"Highnesses may find your corresponding rooms on your own. Once you register your ownership, you will find detailed instructions inside. Your servants are already waiting outside your respective residences."

"If there is anything you do not understand or any other needs, feel free to find me, Luosen." Having said this, he performed a professional bow toward the group.

Li Dui shot straight into the sky. A height of over ten thousand meters was nothing to a Universe Rank powerhouse.

Thud.

He landed on the entrance platform of the 110th floor. The platform was fully three hundred meters in length and width, decorated with various flowers, tables, chairs, and other items.

In front of the wide entrance, ten Universe Rank servants bowed in unison to Li Dui: "Welcome home, Highness."

There were ten of them, seven women and three men, all possessing appearances close to that of an Earthling. These individuals had been serving Li Dui in the Virtual Universe for a long time, so they were quite familiar. There was no need for much talk; Li Dui simply smiled, said "Thank you for your hard work," and pressed his palm against the screen beside the door to register ownership.

Entering the door, one finds the reception hall.

The furniture and interior design were all crafted according to Li Dui's physique, habits, and aesthetic preferences.

Li Dui instructed Dafika, the leader of the servants, to arrange the daily affairs.

He then leaned back on the sofa to read the materials left on the coffee table.

The content consisted of information regarding the Battle Axe Secret Realm and its various rules and regulations.

It was evident that the Giant Axe Martial Arena's approach to cultivating geniuses was quite aggressive. They strongly encouraged geniuses to engage in combat with one another in reality.

There was a martial arena on the Central Island. Those willing to fight could sign up themselves, choosing to participate in Self-Selected Betting Battles, Ten-Round Battles, or the most difficult Hundred-Round Battle.

A Self-Selected Betting Battle was simply two people agreeing to fight a match.

For the Ten-Round Battle:

The martial arena would dispatch opponents based on your strength.

For every win, you would receive 50 points. For every loss, 50 points would be deducted.

If you participated in a Ten-Round Battle and maintained a win rate exceeding 70%, you would receive an additional reward of 500 points.

If one could achieve a win rate of over 65% in the Hundred-Round Battle, they would receive a 5,000-point reward.

It sounded quite wonderful. In reality, achieving a 65% win rate in the Hundred-Round Battle was nearly impossible. Usually, people would fight until they could no longer hold on and would forfeit, or they would be severely injured by an opponent, ending the match.

He set the materials down. There was no rush regarding matters in the Battle Axe Secret Realm. How long he stayed here was entirely up to him.

Whenever he wished, he could ascend to the War Axe Secret Realm during the next qualification battle.

He could even ascend directly to the War Axe Secret Realm in ten minutes, provided he cleared the Battle Axe Heavenly Mountain.

Li Dui estimated that to clear the Universe Rank Battle Axe Heavenly Mountain, one would need the strength to pass the ninth or tenth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

Of course, doing so would not be as beneficial as making a high-profile display of clearing the ninth or even tenth level of the Heavenly Bridge back in Chaos City. Think of how many more points that would yield!

Li Dui simply wanted to take this opportunity in this inconspicuous place to properly plan his path of cultivation.

He needed to solidify his foundation. That way, even if one day in the future, the "Ring" were discovered by some Universe Master or... the Giant Axe Founder, this supreme powerhouse, and subsequently confiscated, he would be prepared.

One should not assume the highest echelons would not seize items from their own people. Standing from different perspectives leads to different considerations. One only needs to think of the situation on Earth to understand.

The possibility of being discovered by a Universe Master was not zero. The fact that Chaos City Lord had no reaction could simply mean he was no longer paying close attention to Li Dui, an inconspicuous little genius. After all, he had already thoroughly investigated him when he first arrived in Chaos City.

As for the Giant Axe Founder, that was even harder to say. This big shot was not simple.

Therefore, he would lie low for now and avoid making any big waves. He would honestly and diligently solidify his foundation. Even if the "Ring" were taken away in the future, he would still have a fallback.

Of course, Li Dui was not overly worried. At the level of a Universe Master, it was impossible for them to pay attention to an average genius.

Unless you revealed something extraordinary. For instance, why was Luo Feng taken as a named disciple by the Chaos City Lord? Li Dui remembered this matter very clearly.

It was because when Luo Feng was challenging the thirteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, he utilized a trace of the Beast God intent. This meant that Luo Feng had already touched the edge of law fusion.

But that alone was not enough.

One also had to be young.

Otherwise, why hadn't any Universe Master taken a disciple from the group of King Rank experts in the Ancestral God Sect who walked the path of law fusion?

At that time, Luo Feng was roughly seven or eight hundred years old, with over a hundred of those years spent in Chaos City. In other words, his actual age was only four hundred-plus years. To touch the path of law fusion at that age—the Chaos City Lord must have felt that Luo Feng had the potential to become a top-tier Universe Overlord in the future.

Even then, Chaos City Lord still set a three-thousand-year mission for Luo Feng to confirm his talent. Only by successfully meeting the requirements within three thousand years would he be accepted as a personal disciple.

So, as long as you don't go looking for death, why would the great Universe Masters have the spare time to bother with you?

Besides, at the moment, he didn't even have the qualifications to go looking for death. The guidance on the Hula Hoop only reached the level of law integration.

"Being stuck here unable to comprehend the Law of Earth is not a solution." Li Dui frowned. His Law of Earth was already on the verge of being acknowledged by the Origin Law. He had stopped trying to comprehend it for some time now. He had been pondering this matter for quite a while.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Li Dui's mind.

The Origin Law of Space and the Origin Law of Time could both be used to analyze the profound essence of things. Why couldn't Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, and Light be used the same way?

Analyzing space and time could yield immense benefits. Would analyzing a Lower Law really be a disadvantage?

Had anyone ever done this before?

That would require some slow investigation.

However, Li Dui felt that he could start trying it out first. Even if he discovered it was useless later on, at most, he would only have wasted a bit of time.

"So, there are four things to do. First, comprehend and improve the Origin Law of Space. This is the foundation."

"Second, continue to analyze the profound essence of space."

"Third, attempt to analyze the profound essence of the Lower Laws."

"Fourth, continue creating combat secret techniques."

The plan was finalized. Li Dui laughed heartily in his heart. This is great; I have enough to keep me busy now.
