After unexpectedly gaining a mount, the life of Huang Wuye returned to its regular rhythm.

Huang Wuye focused his efforts on comprehending the Fire Truth Interpretation and the Drifting Blood secret manual, feeling his progress with every passing day.

The advancement of Huang Wuye's Fire Origin Laws and Space Origin Laws was visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, he could clearly sense that his analysis of the laws was becoming faster and faster.

Huang Wuye understood that this was due to his constantly sublimating life genes. Every day, he enjoyed the pleasurable sensation brought about by this evolution of life.

Things that others could only dream of were happening to him every single day.

Occasionally, Huang Wuye would pause his cultivation to gather with Huang Hu, Huang Xue, and the others.

From time to time, he would take General Mighty to search for powerful opponents on Giant Wood Planet to stretch his limbs, while incidentally completing missions for the training camp.

For the current Huang Wuye, although there were beings on Giant Wood Planet he could not defeat, he had yet to encounter anything capable of threatening his life.

There was no other reason: Instant Roar and Void Shadow: Close as the Horizon had become increasingly terrifying as his mastery of space laws progressed.

Just like that, time slipped away rapidly, and three years passed in silence.

On this day, a visitor from beyond the heavens interrupted Huang Wuye's disciplined life.

Huang Wuye had been waiting early in the main hall of the Giant Wood Planet base. He sat upon the throne, his ears slightly perked as if listening for something.

However, the slight upturn of his lips revealed that he was in a very good mood.

Not long after, a ripple surged through the sky, and soon, the sound of a spaceship descending reached him.

Hearing the commotion, Huang Wuye flashed and appeared above the base.

At this moment, the base's barrier opened automatically, and a black spacecraft descended through the gap.

The ship landed at the docking point shortly after, and Huang Wuye flew slowly toward it.

Clack!

The cabin door opened slowly, emitting a sharp sound.

Step! Step! Step!

A steady, unhurried pace echoed out, and a figure slowly entered Huang Wuye's field of vision.

Long, crimson hair danced freely, and he wore a ferocious beast-head armor, the dense spikes upon it flashing with cold, sharp glints.

Looking further up, a handsome face was revealed. On his forehead was a strange pattern with two colors, from which a faint fluctuation of laws emanated.

The laws around him became more active. Looking closer, this face was seventy percent similar to Huang Wuye's.

Only, this face possessed a bit more fortitude, as if it had been tempered by the passage of time.

Yet at this moment, the wide grin on his face ruined his imposing aura.

Those star-like eyes, which should have contained the sun and moon, were currently filled with a hint of amusement. This person was none other than Huang Tian.

"Wuye, what, did you miss me? I'm truly flattered! I never thought that little bean from back then would grow up so fast in the blink of an eye."

Watching Huang Wuye, who was staring straight at him, Huang Tian's lips curled into a smile. Seeing the little guy who had almost caught up to his own height in such a short time, he couldn't help but tease him.

Upon hearing this, Huang Wuye withdrew his scrutinizing gaze. Seeing Huang Tian looking at him with such mockery, he felt somewhat speechless.

Thinking of how he had been running around for his sake for so long, he felt relieved, and immediately led Huang Tian toward the hall.

"Alright, stop clowning around. Let's go inside first."

The father and son walked and inquired about each other's circumstances over the past few years, the long-absent longing eased by their mutual banter.

Inside the hall, the two figures sat around a table. Huang Tian spoke incessantly, recounting his experiences in the universe over the past few years, along with romantic anecdotes involving beauties from various regions and races. He seemed intent on talking for three days and three nights.

Finally, Huang Wuye couldn't take it anymore. Although he was interested in these things, his first avatar was currently more attractive to him.

After all, with an avatar, he could experience these things for himself; wouldn't that be more interesting than listening to Huang Tian talk?

Therefore, watching Huang Tian show no signs of stopping, he had to interrupt.

"Alright, old man, save those stories for later. The most important thing right now is, what happened with my first avatar?"

Huang Tian, interrupted mid-share, looked disappointed; he had been prepared to talk for a full day and night!

However, upon hearing Huang Wuye's words, his eyes lit up, and he perked up.

Patting his chest, he said, "Don't you know who you're dealing with? Of course I got it."

"Ah! Yes, yes, yes! After all, you are the powerful Gold-Space World Lord! But go ahead and take it out!"

Huang Wuye was overjoyed at these words, offering a compliment first before changing the subject.

Huang Tian gave Huang Wuye a strange look, asking with some confusion.

"Take it out? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

Before Huang Wuye could think too much, the moment his words fell, a black shadow rapidly enlarged before his eyes.

At this moment, Huang Wuye finally felt that something was wrong and hurriedly spoke up.

"You damn old man, you..."

But clearly, Huang Wuye was a step too slow.

The space was instantly compressed, and a colossal shadow blotting out the sky appeared out of thin air.

"Boom!" In the blink of an eye, the grand hall was instantly shattered by an explosive sound.

The dust from the collapsing hall obscured the entire space.

High above, two figures stood suspended in the void.

"Not bad, Little Yezhi, your spatial secret technique is quite impressive."

Watching Huang Wuye appear beside him, Huang Tian looked somewhat surprised.

"You bastard, you did that on purpose, didn't you!"

Huang Wuye was speechless; he really shouldn't have held any expectations, as Huang Tian remained as unreliable as ever.

It was fortunate that he was capable enough, otherwise, he would have made a fool of himself.

"Haha, don't mind the details! Look there!"

Huang Tian let out a hearty laugh, then pointed his finger toward the massive creature revealed as the dust settled below.

Following the direction of his finger, Huang Wuye was startled despite having prepared himself.

A gargantuan entity had emerged where the grand hall once stood.

It lay on its side upon the earth, its height alone reaching nearly eighty or ninety kilometers—why call it height? Because this was a massive ape-like creature.

At a rough glance, it looked like a magnified version of Dasheng. Golden scales clung to its body like fur, and its muscles shimmered like gemstones. A single arm spanned dozens of kilometers.

A lone horn stood upright on its head, as if it intended to pierce the firmament, tear through space, and sever the river of time.

"This is a unique life form, the Gluttonous Golden Ape. It is the darling of the Metal and Space Laws, naturally attuned to both.

It was at the Universe level the moment it was born. I was lucky enough to stumble upon it while exploring the Meteor Universe Kingdom.

Unfortunately, its life gene level is too high—8,100 times that of a normal human. The incubation conditions are too demanding; I couldn't nurture it."

Watching Huang Wuye's stunned expression, Huang Tian coughed and spoke with a look of regret.

"The Metal and Space Laws? That's perfect. Plus, it's a darling of the laws and a unique life form. Old man, are you cheating?" Huang Wuye stared at Huang Tian, swearing that he had never found the man so pleasing to the eye.

Compared to this, that little accident from earlier was completely insignificant.

Seeing his son's satisfied expression, Huang Tian couldn't help but feel happy; it was worth begging everyone he knew and pulling every string to help find it.

"Alright, I have suppressed the little guy's soul. Go ahead and perform the soul transfer now!" After basking in his son's admiration, Huang Tian did not forget the main task and reminded him.
