After dealing with the two women, Chen Qing finally vented his frustration and at last had time to deal with the honey.

Ordinary honey was dark black, with specks of starlight within it, as though it contained an entire starry sky. They had harvested quite a lot of it.

The royal jelly was purplish-black and carried an extra fragrant sweetness. The starlight within it continuously drifted about, but the quantity was hard to put into words. From such an enormous bee city, they had only found one small jar.

With the exclusive plane arranged by the Chaos City Lord, as well as the two women acting as test subjects, its effects were quickly determined.

Ordinary honey could activate cells, assist cultivation, and increase affinity with the laws. One hundred milliliters could last around ten days, and both women said it worked well after using it.

After a month, coupled with ample cosmic energy, they had reached the fifth level of the Domain Lord realm, while their domains had reached the seventh level. How could it not be good?

Now, with the boost from Origin Land, the fluctuations of the laws were far more distinct than outside. The two of them had finally stepped onto the path of comprehending laws.

The royal jelly was different. It could double one's genetic level, especially by removing the bottleneck in their Nine Basic Forms.

The two women were overjoyed. Who knew how much they had sacrificed for the Nine Basic Forms? Now, they had finally seen hope!

"This is only royal jelly from a peak World Lord. If it came from an Immortal, I wonder how great the effect would be?"

Chen Qing rubbed his chin and looked at the remaining four portions, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. Though the effects could not stack and it was of little use to him, it had been free after all.

"You brat really has good luck. With the boost from the Basics now, they both have triple genetic levels. They can be considered minor geniuses!"

Within the Virtual Universe, the two sat together. The Original Ancestor watched Chen Qing prepare tea and sighed.

"Congratulations to us both. If their talents improve, won't that make things easier for you too?"

"I'm nothing but a living dead man. Can you stop dragging me into everything?"

"What living or dead? It's good to find something to do. Otherwise, you'll overthink things. Come on, have some tea first!"

The Original Ancestor helplessly shook his head, but another plan formed in his mind. Since this brat was impervious to persuasion, surely giving benefits to the people beside his pillow would work.

Judging from how he had handled Earth's affairs, he had clearly guarded against the Human Race's upper echelons several times over. But hadn't nothing happened now? Where did all that resentment come from?

"I also need to patrol the Virtual World for long periods, search for spies from other races, and monitor the movements of foreign powerhouses. I don't have that much time or energy."

Chen Qing glanced at the handsome old man but did not respond, continuing to fiddle with the tea set in his hands. Did the old man really think he did not know about that Machine Race Universe Master?

"I gave it some thought. Since they haven't given up, it's necessary to find them a real master.

"At the very least, it won't distract you. And if they don't want to hold you back, they need detailed guidance and strict training. Especially the latter—you definitely can't do it."

Watching Chen Qing fall silent, the Original Ancestor leisurely lifted his teacup.

Even if Chen Qing did not want his loved ones to suffer too much, the pressure of a cosmic powerhouse was not something ordinary Immortals could withstand.

Based on Chen Qing's performance, that day might even come much sooner. Thus, the Original Ancestor was not afraid that he would refuse.

Even if Chen Qing could accept it, what about those two girls? Otherwise, why would that previous incident have happened?

Besides, they were always pestering him about his secret techniques. It had been fine when they did not know each other, but now that he had to see that face every day, it made him uncomfortable.

What was rare was that this brat and the Primal Universe were both incredibly mysterious. For things he could not accomplish, he might have to rely on Chen Qing!

Mm, this tea was good!

"Hehe."

Chen Qing swiftly put on a different expression, rubbed his hands together, and said, "Since you say so, Senior, you must have a good candidate in mind. What do you think...?"

"You brat really are..."

The Original Ancestor smiled and shook his head, but he did not refuse. This had been the natural course of things. "What do you know about Mother Ancestor Planet?"

Chen Qing stared blankly at the Original Ancestor. The original work had never mentioned this, only the Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele. Still, she should have been one of the oldest existences, perhaps the Human Race's first Universe Master.

Otherwise, with her being both Mother and Ancestor, how could the other Universe Masters not take offense? And to call her the birthplace of the Human Race meant she was at least an ancestor acknowledged by the entire Human Race.

The Original Ancestor had indeed been the first strongest being, but he was the leader of their rise. He had only been called Ancestor after leading the Human Race to become a peak race.

"Although Mother Ancestor is gone, Mother Ancestor Planet still has an Overlord guarding it. She has not appeared for countless eras, but her strength is beyond doubt—more than enough to teach the two of them.

"More importantly, she came from that era, and her strictness is famously severe. So, what do you think? Will you consider it?"

Chen Qing said nothing, but Jiang Fang and Yao Rao soon walked over and bowed to the Original Ancestor together.

"Please grant us this, Senior!"

The Original Ancestor nodded in satisfaction. It seemed Chen Qing had explained things clearly to them in the secret realm.

But this matter would not be so simple. The Original Ancestor could only serve as an intermediary, and a roundabout one at that. Whether it succeeded would still depend on that Overlord.

At Thunder Mountain, the Chaos City Lord looked at the email before him, his emotions immediately becoming complicated. At first, he had been ecstatic upon seeing his teacher's message, but when he read its contents, his eyes nearly popped out.

The City Lord flipped through the page. It was indeed an email from his teacher. How had Chen Qing managed it? He had actually become neighbors with his teacher. Did that mean he could...

"Whew... It won't be that simple!"

The Chaos City Lord calmed his emotions, then looked worriedly at the contents again. Palace Master Biluo was from the same era as his teacher.

It might be possible for her to accept Chen Qing as a disciple, but those other two little girls? Was that really appropriate? It somehow felt more reliable for him to take disciples himself!

Still, as a disciple, the Chaos City Lord chose to trust his teacher's decision. After sending an email, he thought about it and sent over the information on Chen Qing and the others as well!

At the Overlord level, matters could no longer be resolved through orders alone. As one of the race's upper echelons, in some respects an Overlord's status was no lower than that of a Universe Master!

Therefore, accepting disciples would depend on the other party's willingness. A moment later, just as the Chaos City Lord thought there was no hope—

In Chen Qing's small account—no, his exclusive plane—the Original Ancestor rarely showed a trace of embarrassment.

The square table had become a small round table. The three of them formed the three vertices of an equilateral triangle, and Chen Qing glanced at the cool-looking woman.

Her face was delicate, her figure full and graceful, and her hands rested before her as she radiated a gentle, elegant air. Yet the cold gleam in her silver eyes made Chen Qing shudder.

The three had been sitting there for a while. Chen Qing had wanted to say something, but unfortunately did not know how to begin, so he simply kept quiet.

The Original Ancestor also had a headache. If he were not here, accepting disciples would definitely be impossible. Palace Master Biluo would not give just anyone face.

But if he stayed here, it felt as if he had not died thoroughly enough—the kind where he could never die again!

"Where are they?"

As the voice sounded, Chen Qing felt his five senses return. He happened to see the Original Ancestor reaching for a teacup and gave him a disdainful glance.

Still, it reminded Chen Qing that the atmosphere was lacking. His own women were probably under considerable pressure. Offering a cup of tea would be good enough. Jiang Fang and the others surely knew how to do that; it fit the etiquette of taking a master while not making him uncomfortable.
