Little One ran to Shi Lin's side.

"Look, Brother Lin, a treasure bone!" Little One's eyes sparkled with radiance.

"Mm~!" Shi Lin patted Little One's head with a gratified smile.

Little One's performance had truly dropped everyone's jaws to the floor. He had actually succeeded, leaving everyone speechless. Was there no justice left in the world?!

One had to understand, that was the passage to the Void God Realm. Who had ever dared to scheme against it in the past? Doing so was purely an act of being overfed and rebellious. Yet, this little brat had entered and acted like a tiny miser, and in the end, he had actually obtained a piece of bone.

A crowd of people cursed, finding it hard to accept the reality.

"If this silly kid can break the extreme limit, I feel like there's something fishy going on. I just don't know what's wrong!"

"He can even break a record? Is there some mistake? I'm going to go try it in a moment. Surely I'm not worse than a little brat!"

Little One held the treasure bone, his heart filled with joy. He turned it over and over, examining it. The Rune Bone was pure white and flawless, flowing with luster, translucent and shining. It contained powerful runes within; one look and it was clear it was no ordinary object.

"Little friend, didn't we have an agreement earlier? If you succeeded, I would trade a large amount of Essence Coin for this bone." A white-haired old man approached with a beaming smile.

"When did I make an agreement with you? I still need to study it myself. No trade!" Little One refused.

Little One didn't even lift his head, looking completely unmoved.

This brat, the old man thought indignantly. Earlier, Little One had asked him for advice, but he had been too lazy to say much. Now that the roles were reversed and he was actively explaining things to this silly kid, the boy was actually ignoring him.

"Little friend, considering I lent you my weapon, could you consider selling the treasure bone to me?" A middle-aged man nearby leaned in.

"So it was Uncle Hammer." Little One looked up.

Black lines appeared on the middle-aged man's forehead as he said, "I'll say it again, that hammer has nothing to do with me."

"Isn't it yours? If it isn't, why could you lend it to me, and why are you saying it's for the sake of the hammer now?" Little One blinked his large eyes, looking utterly confused.

"This dead brat!" The middle-aged man was furious, nearly losing his composure.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Next, everyone's eyes burned with intensity. Although they were shouting in their hearts that it was unjust, they still crowded around, all staring at the crystalline Rune Bone in Little One's hand.

Suddenly, a stone tablet floated up, wreathed in mist. A line of text appeared upon it, each character emitting a dazzling light and ringing with a metallic clang.

"Shattered the Initial Ground passage, rewarded with one piece of Primitive Treasure Bone."

This line of text vibrated continuously, the strokes sharp as iron hooks and silver needles, brilliant beyond compare. It illuminated the sky like ten thousand swords singing in unison, shocking everyone nearby.

"He really did set a record. The Void God Realm has already recorded it and announced it to the world!" Everyone was astonished, followed by a flurry of discussion.

"This silly kid has become famous in one go. To cause such a stir the first time he enters, it really is..." Everyone was left without a temper, feeling that there was no justice at all.

The stone tablet shone, hovering near Little One, which left him quite confused. He muttered, "You still owe me three more bones!"

The crowd went mad. This little miser—at a time like this, he was still thinking about that.

"Carve in the relevant information to finalize this record." An old man with a five-colored bird on his shoulder reminded him.

"Many thanks, Lord Bird."

"Go on, get lost!" The old man's beard bristled with anger.

Little One scratched his head and stood before the stone tablet. Everything felt so novel, yet he felt a bit at a loss, gesturing for a long time without writing anything.

"You don't have to write your real information. You can write anything, for example, what you like most or what you love most," the kind-hearted girl reminded him.

Shi Lin touched his head and gave a wry smile.

Little One was overjoyed. He raised his hand and wrote five characters in one go at the very top: Loves Drinking Beast Milk.

Runes flickered on the stone tablet, and the marks he had written immediately emitted light, branding themselves onto the surface in a dazzling display.

Everyone turned to stone, and the area fell silent in an instant.

"What's wrong?!" Little One sensed something was amiss.

In an instant, the crowd erupted in laughter, their mouths unable to close. Some were bent over double from laughing.

"That name is truly interesting, hehehe..."

"Silly kid, haven't you been weaned yet?"

The crowd laughed incessantly. "What? This is a name? I thought you said to fill in what I like most or love most!" Little One's small face turned black instantly. This was too embarrassing.

The kind-hearted girl explained, "I meant you don't have to write your real name; you can just use your favorite treasure tool or divine beast as a substitute. My name here is Cailuan."

Little One wore a bitter expression and asked in a low voice, "Can I change it?"

"No!" the crowd answered in unison, their voices loud. No matter how one looked at it, they were mocking him.

Little One was deeply embarrassed. This was too shameful; with this name, how could he face anyone in the future?

"Hurry up, there's still one line left to carve," someone urged.

The stone tablet remained nearby, flowing with divine radiance and a peaceful energy fluctuation, waiting for Little One to carve the other line. This time, he didn't dare write randomly. He hesitated for a long time before asking, "What should I write this time? You all need to make it clear to me."

"Just write down truthfully which aspect you broke the extreme limit in," a middle-aged man said.

This time, they were uncharacteristically not laughing; they were very solemn, waiting for him to set his pen.

Little One wrote two characters directly: Extreme Speed.

"Should be no mistake this time, right?" he whispered to himself.

Someone nodded and said, "Mm, no mistake. If it's true, the Void God Realm will grant you a certain level of protection in the future, after all, you've set a record in the Initial Ground."

"There's such a thing?" Little One widened his eyes, unable to sit still.

"If it were a lie, then those benefits wouldn't exist. It's said that those who lie are often 'specially cared for' and subjected to some 'special' tempering," the person beside him added.

Little One looked foolish, his small face turning even darker.

At this very moment, not just in the Initial Ground, but even in the higher-level Heavenly Caves and Blessed Lands, stone tablets rose up. Everyone in every region knew, as dazzling light shone forth and a few lines of text appeared.

"Eh, someone broke a record!"

"Who is it, and what kind of extreme limit did they break?"

At this moment, the entire Void God Realm trembled. No one dared to look down on any kind of record, as they represented the pinnacle of a certain field and were worthy of everyone's respect.

"Loves Drinking Beast Milk?!"

When people read these words, their expressions turned strange. What a messy name; who would be so bored, and why would they use such a title?

"Could this be a pervert? Hehehe..." many people laughed.

People continued reading downward, and when they reached the line "Shattered the Initial Ground passage," the crowd immediately exploded.

"No way, to do something so infuriating to both man and god, and yet he was rewarded with a Treasure Bone? Is there any justice left?"

"Who is this? Is he so full that he has nothing better to do? How could he destroy a passage of the Void God Realm? Too beastly!"

Uproar spread across all regions, and everyone was cursing incessantly.

The Void God Realm was vast, but whenever a new record appeared, everyone would pay attention, because that person was inevitably a terrifying powerhouse representing the extreme limit in a certain field!

"Too beastly! Who is this brat? He's angered both man and ghost; it's truly unforgivable."

"How bored must one be to actually destroy a passage? No wonder it became a new record, because no one has ever done such a thing before!"

Everyone was indignant, and what they found most unacceptable was that the Void God Realm had actually rewarded him with a Treasure Bone.

"The Rune Bone embedded in the passage is a rare treasure, very likely the bone of an Archaic Remnant, which has great utility in this world."

"If attacking the passage can earn a Treasure Bone, then I'll go try it too!"

Every region was in an uproar, with many people feeling jealous and envious.

On this day, the entire Void God Realm was in a clamor. Everywhere, people were discussing how one could break the passage, and the strange name "Loves Drinking Beast Milk" was mentioned repeatedly.

"Can this even count as a record? I think it's just because no one has ever been so beastly before, no one has ever attacked the passage, so he set a record just like that."

On this day, many people tried their hand, and passages everywhere rang with thuds, but they all returned in defeat, failing completely.

"It won't work. We are in higher-level domains; the passages of these Heavenly Caves and Blessed Lands are definitely more solid. I think we should go try the Initial Ground."

"Even if you reach the Initial Ground, you can only exert the strength of the Blood-Moving Realm; the record is still hard to break."

"The lower domains are still easier than these pure lands. I plan to go take a look; I heard the rewarded bone might be of the Archaic Remnant level."

"What? That precious? If it's a rare King-level species, it would be even more heaven-defying. Let's go, I'll go take a look too!"

The Void God Realm surged with waves, and Little One's single action left every region unsettled.

In the Initial Ground, light rained down as the bluestone reassembled. It had already reappeared, with the four Treasure Bones rearranged upon it. The passage was intact, reconstructed once more.

A group of people stood there, with Uncle Hammer, Lord Bird, and that Grandpa Essence Jade at the front. The three took turns, tiring themselves until they coughed up blood, but it was of no use.

"Simpleton, are you playing us? Did you really break it using extreme speed?" Uncle Hammer panted. As a great expert of the Heavenly Cave Realm, he was actually inferior to a fuzzy-headed brat, almost dying of exhaustion on the large bluestone.

"Really, my speed is faster than yours!" Little One insisted, then passed on some "secret techniques," smiling foolishly and telling them they must keep it a secret.

Half an hour later, the group screamed as they were blasted away by the light emitted from the bluestone, because their constant attacks triggered the beast bones to glow and the runes to intertwine.

"Beast Milk Brat, you're lying!"

"You brat are truly unkind. Even if I die, I won't believe you ran at an extreme speed on this bluestone!"

The group was indignant.

Little One suggested that Shi Lin give it a try, but Shi Lin refused; he didn't want to become so famous the moment he entered.

Little One was as stubborn as a mule, refusing to admit he lied even to the death. Afterward, he wandered around the Initial Ground to familiarize himself with the situation. This inhabited area was already vast, and further away lay endless primeval forests.

He felt waves of strange gazes; quite a few people were peeping at him, seemingly with ill intent, but he didn't care. In this Initial Ground, no matter how high your cultivation was, you could only exert the strength of the Blood-Moving Realm; he had nothing to worry about.

"Child, be careful. Someone is eyeing your Treasure Bone," Lord Bird warned.

"Milk Brat, if it doesn't work out, just sell it to me, otherwise you will definitely be in danger," Grandpa Essence Jade reminded him.

Of course, these titles—Lord Bird, Uncle Hammer, and Grandpa Essence Jade—were all forcibly imposed on them by Little One, which made them indignant but helpless.

"It's fine, I won't provoke them," Little One didn't care.

Besides, with Shi Lin there, he wasn't afraid.

Everyone was speechless. You might not provoke them, but wouldn't they provoke you? They were already planning to target you in the first place.

"It's them who want to deal with you," the young girl Cailuan whispered a reminder. She felt this child was too naive and might suffer a great loss.

To the surprise of the group, the milk-drinking toddler's large eyes shone as he clenched his tiny fists, exclaiming with immense excitement, "Do they have any good stuff on them?"

The crowd: "..."

Who exactly was trying to rob whom? The people felt a sense of mental disorientation.

The young girl rolled her eyes; she had worried for nothing. This little miser was just like that bunch, harboring crooked thoughts of his own.

Those with fierce, murderous gazes were not reckless people. Regardless of anything else, Loves Drinking Beast Milk was a record-breaker, so they dared not act rashly, all waiting for the experts of their respective clans to arrive.

Adhering to the principle of not looking for trouble, Little One did not make a move. He had learned much in the Initial Ground, and eventually, he wandered back to the stone tablet to begin reviewing past records.

"Fire Cloud Immortal, walked upon heavenly fire, reached the extreme of the fire-control path in the Initial Ground."

Little One's expression turned solemn; this person must have been terrifying. However, when he saw the date listed afterward, he was momentarily stunned—this record was from tens of thousands of years ago.

He quickly scanned downward, wanting to find more recent records.

"Demon Moon, a single thought causes flowers to bloom, withered wood to regenerate, possesses immense vitality, unsurpassed in the Blood-Moving Realm."

After flipping through a long list of records, he discovered that this one was still from a thousand years ago.

With great effort, Little One flipped toward the end, and a familiar name immediately jumped into his sight: Shi Yi!

Shi Yi, the Double Pupil possessor who shared the same innate talent as the ancient sages and divine beings, had indeed come. He had entered the Void God Realm and was very likely in the higher-level Heavenly Cave paradises of the Void God Realm.

Little One's eyes gleamed with a strange light as he studied the tablet carefully. A few lines of text recorded the result: Shi Yi, Double Pupil opens the heavens, slaughtered nine Beast Kings in a single battle, setting the record for the most kings slain in the Initial Ground. This was a shocking feat. A single Beast King ruled over an entire mountain range and possessed peerless strength, standing high above all; ordinary people would have to flee for their lives upon encountering just one, unable to contend with it at all.

A Beast King was an apex powerhouse within the same realm, difficult to contend with—otherwise, how could they dare to claim the title of king?

In daily life, it was difficult to even encounter a Beast King, yet Shi Yi had been besieged by nine of them in a single battle and had slaughtered them all. His combat record could be described as nothing short of glorious!

This record was extraordinary and held immense value; it was a manifestation of true combat power and the very foundation that many sought to hone themselves toward.
