After Shaluo left, Huang Wuye headed alone for the Primal Region. Before long, he saw several large characters written in Universal Language: Primal Region.
Huang Wuye didn't linger and walked straight inside, where staff were already waiting.
She was an elegant lady with a teardrop-shaped mark between her brows. A World Lord who comprehended the Law of Water, she had a pair of cat ears that lent her an exotic charm.
When she saw Huang Wuye approaching, she stepped forward and greeted him.
"Your Highness Huang Wuye, welcome. I'm Yaxian, and I'm responsible for introducing you to the rules and arrangements of the Primal Region."
Yaxian's every movement was alluring yet graceful. She spoke softly and gently, making Huang Wuye feel quite at ease.
"Madam Yaxian, it's nice to meet you. Sorry for the trouble."
Huang Wuye returned her greeting with a nod, making no show of airs.
"Your Highness Huang Wuye, please follow me."
Yaxian then led Huang Wuye around the Primal Region. It occupied one-fifth of Yuxiang Mountain, yet had only a little over a hundred members, so it was incomparably vast.
With World Lord Madam Yaxian as his guide, Huang Wuye needed quite some time to see everything. Afterward, he arrived at his residence.
It covered an area of a thousand li. Shaluo had taken a preliminary look at it with him earlier, and now a team wearing matching armor emerged from inside.
Their leader was a Flame God. They walked straight up to Huang Wuye and greeted him in unison.
"We pay our respects to Your Highness."
At that point, World Lord Madam Yaxian introduced him from the side.
"This is your guard commander, General Xitu. Bell. Man Shan."
"Your Highness Huang Wuye, you may call me Man Shan. Our Guard Army has three thousand members in total, including three hundred World Lords. We pay our respects to Your Highness."
The leader of the guards, the Immortal God Man Shan, quickly spoke up.
"Greetings, General Man Shan. Thank you all for your hard work."
Huang Wuye sized up the Immortal God, nodded slightly, then smiled as he spoke.
"Your Highness Huang Wuye, I'll take my leave now. You can ask Commander Man Shan about anything else."
Seeing this, World Lord Madam Yaxian took her leave. Huang Wuye nodded and didn't try to detain her, then followed Man Shan to familiarize himself with the residence's basic facilities.
Next, under Man Shan's guidance, Huang Wuye toured his newly awarded thousand-li mansion, now proudly named Wuye Residence.
Huang Wuye was extremely satisfied. Besides the guards, the residence had staff to handle daily needs, including nutritionists and chefs, as well as every basic cultivation facility. It was practically absurdly luxurious.
However, Huang Wuye didn't get too caught up in it. After meeting the members of his guard team, he left the Virtual Universe, agreeing to get together properly after he came back from the Initial Universe.
Aboard the F-class spacecraft that the Virtual Universe Company had prepared for the geniuses, Huang Wuye slowly woke. With a thought, a golden figure appeared on his shoulder.
It was Dasheng, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. This was Dasheng's true body. When Huang Wuye went to the Meteor Universe Kingdom this time, he had brought him along from Vinia.
Dasheng had now transformed into a Universe Level powerhouse. His tail swayed slightly as he perched on Huang Wuye's shoulder, his little eyes darting about. He looked utterly adorable.
"Dasheng, use my authorization to check the Virtual Universe Company's treasury for the hereditary materials of the various races. Compare them with what we already have and add everything we're missing to the shopping list."
"Got it, boss."
Hearing Huang Wuye's voice, Dasheng didn't dare to dawdle. He replied and immediately began searching.
Before long, Dasheng opened his eyes and reported to Huang Wuye.
"Boss, this Virtual Universe Company really is loaded. Our search found over a million kinds of hereditary materials from races we don't have, including over seventy thousand from Special Lifeforms and around thirty thousand from races that have gone extinct. They'll cost roughly 4.5 billion points."
Huang Wuye felt a headache coming on. He'd known these materials wouldn't be cheap, but he couldn't even begin to wrap his head around a figure in the billions.
After thinking it over, he said to Dasheng,
"Dasheng, first pick out the hereditary materials that only have one sample left and belong to extinct races. See how many points those will cost."
"Boss, there are over ten thousand hereditary materials that belong to extinct races and have only one sample remaining. They'll cost 300 million points.
"Some of these materials are quite rare, so they're expensive. We only have ten thousand points, so I suggest you buy a large quantity of the ordinary hereditary materials that have only one sample left. We could get around 3,563 kinds."
Huang Wuye nodded. There was nothing he could do; he had too little money, so this was all he could manage. He needed to collect as many hereditary materials as possible, since they determined how high his Gene Multiplier could go.
It seemed that besides buying them, he would also need to establish an organization to gather hereditary materials for him. After all, most races' hereditary materials weren't specifically collected.
Coming back to himself, he said to Dasheng,
"Dasheng, use the ten thousand points the Virtual Universe Company awarded me this time to buy hereditary materials."
"Sure, boss. But shouldn't you save the points to buy secret manuals?"
Dasheng replied, then asked with some confusion.
"No need. I already have secret manuals for all the laws I'm currently cultivating, so I don't need any others for now."
Seeing Dasheng's confusion, Huang Wuye smiled and explained.
He had no shortage of secret manuals to help him comprehend laws. Besides, he had his teacher and family to help him. Those manuals weren't worth much to him; hereditary materials were what mattered most right now.
Although his Life Gene Multiplier had already reached fifty times, and Huang Tian had gathered hereditary materials for him, who knew when they'd run out?
Over the past ten or twenty years, his Life Gene Multiplier had continued to rise. Thanks to the effects of his second Innate Secret Technique, it had reached fifty times that of an ordinary human. This had made him far more powerful.
The rise in his Life Gene Multiplier had also made it much easier for him to comprehend laws. As his Life Gene Multiplier increased, everything about him improved with it, including his genetic origin energy, spirit energy, soul, comprehension, Law Comprehension, and physical strength.
His speed of comprehending laws was now probably no slower than that of some geniuses comprehending a Chaos Stele. The laws were crystal clear to him.
It was as if he were constantly comprehending a Chaos Stele. This was astonishing.
If comprehending laws weren't so obscure, and he didn't keep getting stuck from time to time, his progress would have been unstoppable long ago.
Thinking of this, he stopped dwelling on it, focused his mind, and began comprehending laws. After all, there were still more than two years left, enough time for him to make another leap forward.
By then, he'd probably be able to hold his own even among World Lords!
As Huang Wuye settled into silence, Dasheng began cultivating too. The space fell quiet as an F-class spacecraft sped through the boundless, dark universe, tracing the course of a new era.
Meanwhile, on Giant Wood Planet, Huang Wuye's Night Emperor Clone had finally finished settling the carried soul fragment.
Looking at the giant beast before him, he couldn't help feeling that fate had brought them together for a reason.
The giant beast before him was unmistakably a dragon-shaped creature. It bore a striking resemblance to the divine dragons of ancient Chinese mythology.
He stood before the beast's head. The moment he saw it, he had decided that this enormous fellow would become his second clone.
