"Hmm... that should be feasible. Decision made: I'll acquire a few clones specialized in refining Supreme Treasures. Hehe... based on my understanding of the system, if I bind a few 'tools' skilled in treasure crafting, my own crafting level will surely skyrocket. By then, I might even be able to mass-produce Supreme Treasures, or perhaps even... Supreme-most Treasures. It's not impossible." As he thought about it, Tang Ping could almost feel himself drooling.

The Nine Serenities Ocean and the World Tree were currently with the Ancestral God Religion, and Tang Ping didn't have a good way to access them yet. The Demon Slayer Race was rare and elusive, not something he could secure immediately. However, there were plenty of races in the universe skilled in treasure crafting, and more importantly, they were relatively easy to find.

However, before he went off to learn treasure crafting, Tang Ping had one more thing to do.

That was to unbind the ordinary Domain Lord level individuals he had previously used to fill his quota, and instead bind World Lord level geniuses. Of course, he certainly wouldn't unbind the core geniuses from the five major powers.

Come to think of it, there was another benefit to binding these core geniuses from major powers. Tang Ping had just checked, and the one who had driven his breakthrough to the World Lord level was none other than 'Frodo,' the core genius of the Virtual Universe Company he had heard about in the restaurant earlier.

According to the descriptions in the original work, after these core geniuses from the five major powers made a breakthrough, the company would provide them with nutrient fluid for free to help them reach the peak of their current stage.

In other words, Tang Ping didn't need to spend any effort or money himself; he could just lie back and wait for Frodo to use the nutrient fluid. Reaching the peak of the World Lord level was just around the corner.

After binding the necessary World Lord level tools, Tang Ping didn't set off immediately. He gathered all his clones from outside and found a remote, desolate planet to stay on.

This was because he could easily imagine that with the World Lord level's comprehension speed, combined with the system's upgraded maximum ten-million-fold reward multiplier, he would likely trigger the phenomenon of Universe Origin Law recognition multiple times over the next few days. This phenomenon would be visible to those around him, and the coverage area wouldn't be small.

A single instance of Universe Origin Law recognition wouldn't be much on a first-tier administrative planet in the Ganwu Universe Country—it was perfectly normal. But if the phenomenon occurred repeatedly in the same place, it would inevitably attract attention.

While this wasn't necessarily a bad thing in most cases—at most, many factions would come to investigate or invite him, a genius World Lord with no affiliation—Tang Ping didn't want to be that high-profile right now. His strength was still insufficient. Besides, there were rare cases where it could lead to trouble, such as being assassinated by alien spies.

When one is weak, it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. So, Tang Ping simply chose to hide away to make his breakthroughs.

As Tang Ping expected, just three days later, the Origin Law of Gold, which he was comprehending the fastest, received recognition from the Universe Origin Law, and the phenomenon descended.

On Earth, Luo Feng was taking a walk in the residential garden with Xu Xin after his training when he suddenly sensed an incredibly powerful aura.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng immediately turned his head to look.

The villa area of their residential complex was suddenly shrouded in an immensely thick aura of laws. Golden secret patterns swirled in the surroundings, and golden light radiated in all directions. For a moment... the entire villa area was blindingly bright, and the intense fluctuations of the Origin Law were enough to make one's heart palpitate.

"The Origin Law has descended!" Babata, who had been startled awake, was so shocked his jaw nearly hit the ground. Among everyone present, only he understood what this scene signified.

"What is the descent of the Origin Law?" Luo Feng, never afraid to ask when he didn't know, asked Babata curiously after his initial shock.

"My god! Who exactly is this Tang Ping? How could he... reach this step so quickly?" Babata, as if he hadn't heard Luo Feng's question, muttered to himself with a complex expression.

The strongest Martial Artists in the complex were Tang Ping and his brothers. Luo Feng was right beside him, and everyone else had gone to Mars to play, except for Tang Ping who was in seclusion. Babata could naturally judge easily who had triggered this phenomenon of the Universe Origin Law's descent.

He just found it hard to accept. When Tang Ping and Luo Feng had gone to Mist Island together, Babata had discovered the whole group at once. It was just that, at the time, Babata had quite naturally judged from their brain-domain width that Luo Feng was the most gifted among them.

After possessing the Golden Horned Behemoth, Babata had been even more confident in Luo Feng's future. But the scene unfolding before him now completely shattered Babata's worldview.

"Origin Law recognition... how could it be so fast? He's only been cultivating for a few years." Babata continued to mutter, still unable to accept it.

After being in a slump for a long time, Babata finally accepted reality and began to explain the knowledge regarding this to Luo Feng.

"In other words, Cousin has now received recognition from the Origin Law of Gold, and in terms of law comprehension, he has left the rest of us far behind, right? As expected, Brother Ping has always been the most gifted among us. However... I won't be discouraged. I believe that one day, I will be able to catch up to him." Luo Feng was full of fighting spirit.

"Let's hope so." Babata, however, wasn't very optimistic that Luo Feng would ever have that day. The more one knew, the more one understood how vast the gap between them truly was.

In the cultivation room, Tang Ping sat cross-legged.

"Rumble..." The surrounding space trembled slightly.

A golden droplet appeared out of thin air above Tang Ping's head and then fell directly downward.

Drip! The golden droplet landed right on top of Tang Ping's head and seeped directly into his body.

At this moment, Tang Ping had officially received the recognition of the Origin Law of Gold.

A golden sword mark slowly emerged between Tang Ping's eyebrows. This mark faintly emitted law fluctuations that made one's heart palpitate; it was a sign of having received the recognition of the Origin Law.

Once one receives the recognition of the Origin Law, their consciousness can enter the ocean of laws, and the speed of comprehending the corresponding Origin Law increases significantly. However, for a "lie-flat" enthusiast like Tang Ping, it didn't mean much.

After receiving the recognition of the Origin Law of Gold, in just three days, Tang Ping successively received recognition for the other seven Origin Laws: wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light.

The phenomenon in the residential complex occurred every so often, and Babata, in the end, was so shocked he became numb.

"Hmm... space and time are superior laws; their difficulty is not in the same league as these inferior laws. It will probably take some time to receive recognition for the Origin Laws of space and time. So... I can prepare to set off." Having received recognition for eight major Origin Laws, Tang Ping, with a ring of law marks circling his forehead, finally decided to end his seclusion.

"Looking sharp! Just a bit too high-profile." In front of the mirror in his room, Tang Ping nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the ring of law marks on his forehead, then used a secret technique to conceal them.
