Way of the Beast God (Happy New Year)

Under Chaos City Lord, including Qin Ming, there were only thirty-two personal disciples in total. Twenty-seven were still alive, of which twenty-five were Universe Venerables and one was a pinnacle King-level Undying.

The last one was Qin Ming, the weakest by far at only Star Level—correct, Qin Ming had yet to break through to Universe Level.

"Mm." Chaos City Lord nodded in satisfaction, then spoke.

"You have just entered Chaos City and just joined my tutelage. According to custom, your master should gift you a ceremony of apprenticeship." Chaos City Lord's voice rang out again.

"However, you are now in Chaos City and have no immediate need for external objects. When you depart, come find me once more."

"For now, your most pressing matter is to choose a Chaos Stele suited to you.

You have already comprehended the Laws of Gold, Earth, and Space, and have chosen the Wind Law... Is it your intention to use Wind as a springboard to touch the Time Law?" Chaos City Lord's gaze was piercing, seeing through part of Qin Ming's thoughts at a glance.

"Your ambition is not small, but that is not a problem. What I value more is the astonishing talent you have displayed in the path of law fusion. Qin Ming, do you know of the 'Ancestral God Sect'?"

"This disciple does not." Qin Ming shook his head, his expression natural. Given his surface-level identity and experience, it was indeed reasonable that he would not know of this most mysterious force in the Primal Universe.

"Not knowing is also normal."

Chaos City Lord nodded slightly, then explained in detail the origins, status, and core inheritance of the Ancestral God Sect, as well as the "Beast God Inheritance" that symbolized the eight great paths of fused laws.

"So, Master means you wish for me to cultivate the 'Way of the Beast God'?" Qin Ming asked proactively after listening.

"Correct!" The light in Chaos City Lord's eyes grew even brighter.

"If you follow the conventional path, with your talent, reaching Undying is highly likely. But to go a step further and reach the level of Ganwu and the others will not be so easy. And to reach my level... requires an extraordinary path."

"And the 'Way of the Beast God' has limitless potential! With your talent in law fusion, it is extremely possible for you to step into the realm of Universe Master through this path!"

In Chaos City Lord's gaze was undisguised expectation and fervor.

This was also one of the important reasons he valued Qin Ming so much, even directly accepting him as a personal disciple.

If Qin Ming were merely a genius in law comprehension that appeared once in ten million eras, he might still observe and test him further.

But the nearly instinctive affinity and control Qin Ming displayed in law fusion showed him another possibility—a shortcut to becoming a true pillar of the race!

Cultivating a future Universe Master would mean far more to humanity than training ten or a hundred ordinary Venerables.

"This disciple understands."

Qin Ming replied solemnly. He understood Chaos City Lord's expectations and also realized that the "Way of the Beast God" was indeed a broad road suited to the "talent" he had displayed so far—it could perfectly explain his future rapid progress and held immense potential.

"In that case, your master suggests you first choose to observe the 'Gravity Chaos Stele' or the 'Heavenly Ruins Chaos Stele.' The former aligns with the Earth and Space you have already comprehended, while the latter focuses on Gold and Space.

And when you reach the corresponding level, the race will gift you a Beast God Inheritance Token free of charge, allowing you to go to the peripheral inheritance grounds of the Ancestral God Sect."

"Yes, Master." Qin Ming noted the advice.

"Additionally, regardless of which Chaos Stele you choose, your master gifts you fifty opportunities to observe the Chaos Stele."

"Go now. First settle down in Chaos City, familiarize yourself with the environment, and choose your Chaos Stele. For the path ahead, your master will keep an eye out for you."

Chaos City Lord waved his hand, and Qin Ming found himself outside the courtyard of the Chaos Ruins Courtyard.

His mind churned with thoughts. The Way of the Beast God... This coincided perfectly with his own plan to use the Jin World avatar to comprehend multiple laws and attempt fusion.

Leaving the Chaos Ruins, Guiyi Venerable was still waiting in the square.

"Little junior brother, has Master made any arrangements?" Guiyi Venerable asked with a smile.

"Master told me to first choose a Chaos Stele and settle down." Qin Ming briefly relayed Chaos City Lord's advice, omitting the core part about the Ancestral God Sect.

Guiyi Venerable nodded: "Master's considerations are thorough. The Heavenly Ruins and Gravity steles are indeed suited to your current path.

Since you are new here, I will first take you to the outer residence to settle in. Afterwards, you can go on your own to the 'City Lord Mansion' square in front of the City Lord's residence. There, detailed introductions to the fifty-two Chaos Steles are available, and you can take your time choosing."

"Thank you for your trouble, senior brother." Qin Ming expressed his gratitude.

Under Guiyi Venerable's guidance, Qin Ming and the waiting Ganwu Kingdom Lord soon left the City Lord's residence.

They then helped Qin Ming secure an independent courtyard as his dwelling in an area of Chaos City close to the City Lord's residence.

The courtyard was ancient and quiet, with its own cultivation meditation room, and the Chaos energy there was richer and purer than in the outer city.

"This place is close to both the City Lord's residence and the fifty-two Chaos Steles, making it convenient for you to come and go," Guiyi Venerable said.

"The permissions of a Primal Secret Realm member of the Virtual Universe Company have also been fully opened to you.

For anything you need in Chaos City, you can apply through the Virtual Universe or directly contact the management staff of Chaos City.

If you encounter any difficulties in cultivation, you can also contact me through the Virtual Universe at any time, or go directly to seek Master."

"Thank you for your care, senior brother." Qin Ming thanked him again. Having this powerful Universe Overlord as a senior brother would make things much easier in Chaos City.

"We are fellow disciples; no need for formality." Guiyi Venerable said warmly.

"Settle in first and get familiar with the environment. There is no rush to choose a Chaos Stele—consider it carefully. I will not disturb you further."

After seeing off Guiyi Venerable, Ganwu Kingdom Lord also walked over and said with a smile: "Qin Ming, since you are settled, I should return to the Ganwu Universe Kingdom."

"Qin Ming thanks the Kingdom Lord for his escort." Qin Ming bowed solemnly.

"Haha, a small matter, hardly worth mentioning." Ganwu Kingdom Lord waved his hand, then his gaze shifted slightly, his tone carrying a hint of familiarity.

"Now that you have become a personal disciple under the City Lord, by seniority, we are of the same generation. If you do not mind, just call me 'Old Brother Ganwu' from now on!"

Qin Ming's heart stirred slightly; he hadn't expected the Ganwu Kingdom Lord to lower his posture so much. He gave the other man a deep look—though part of this was surely due to the halo of being the Chaos City Lord's personal disciple, it was not without the Ganwu Kingdom Lord's own investment and confidence in his future.

He immediately stopped being coy, smiling as he cupped his hands: "Then this younger brother will gladly obey. Ganwu Big Brother!"

"Haha, excellent!" The Ganwu Kingdom Lord laughed heartily.

"Brother Qin Ming, since you've acknowledged me as your big brother, rest assured.

The Qin Family in the Primal Universe will be under my care. I'll keep them safe and worry-free. You can cultivate here in peace, with no need for concern."

"I'm indebted to Ganwu Big Brother for his trouble. Many thanks!" Qin Ming expressed his gratitude once more.

With a Universe Venerable like the Ganwu Kingdom Lord personally looking after them, the Qin Family's safety was indeed assured without a single worry.
