TOP1: Mountain Sitting Guest!

"Correct." A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the City Lord of Chaos. "Since the Beast Ancestor wants to use the Ethereal Alliance as a whetstone, we shall use him as ours. Let the entire Primal Universe see the consequences of touching the vassals of humanity!"

"Good!"

Founder Giant Axe stood up abruptly, a fighting spirit surfacing on his rugged face. "The Beast Ancestor has obtained two Supreme True Treasures; it is perfect timing. I, too, wish to test the power of my God-Slaying Axe."

"Giant Axe, you intend to take the field yourself?" the Darkness Master asked, somewhat surprised.

"Indeed." Founder Giant Axe nodded. "The first battle must be won cleanly and decisively. I want everyone to remember that from this day forward, the one who calls the shots in the Primal Universe is humanity!"

As Founder Giant Axe prepared to strike, the massive Sky Screen spanning the starry sky finally began to slowly reorganize its final content.

Seeing this, both sides stopped their movements simultaneously, holding their breath in anticipation.

Nine of the top ten powerhouses had already been revealed.

Who, then, was the one standing at the very pinnacle?

[TOP 1: Mountain Sitting Guest!]

These three words were like a massive boulder cast into a calm lake, stirring up monstrous waves across the entire Primal Universe!

"Mountain Sitting Guest!"

"It is actually the Mountain Sitting Guest!"

"That most mysterious of all lone supreme powerhouses!"

In an instant, countless exclamations erupted from every corner of the Primal Universe.

But soon, these exclamations turned into a sense of relief.

Mountain Sitting Guest was one of the oldest and most mysterious supreme powerhouses in the Primal Universe.

No one knew his origins, and no one knew his true strength.

He never participated in any factional struggles, nor did he ever take the initiative to provoke anyone.

Yet, every supreme powerhouse knew one iron rule: do not provoke the Mountain Sitting Guest!

Once, a supreme powerhouse from the First Reincarnation Era, refusing to believe the rumors, had clashed with the Mountain Sitting Guest in the Universe Ocean.

The result? That supreme powerhouse, despite possessing a Supreme True Treasure, could not even withstand a single move before being nonchalantly suppressed and sealed by the Mountain Sitting Guest!

Since then, the Mountain Sitting Guest had become a taboo existence within the Primal Universe.

That he was ranked first was surprising, yet it stood to reason.

Demon Ancestor Secret Realm.

"Mountain Sitting Guest... so it is him."

The Tremor Demon Ancestor looked at the name on the list, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes before he quickly regained his composure. "Fortunately, this person never involves himself in factional disputes; he poses no threat to our Demon Race."

"Indeed." The Dream Demon Ancestor also breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as it isn't one of those other fellows, it is fine."

Regarding the Mountain Sitting Guest taking the top spot, the two Demon Race ancestors were the most accepting.

The Mountain Sitting Guest was simply too mysterious—so mysterious that one could not even muster the desire to compete with him.

Moreover, he was a lone wolf with no clan ties, so he naturally would not threaten the territories of the Demon Race.

Virtual Universe, the highest roundtable conference of humanity.

"It is indeed the Mountain Sitting Guest."

Founder Giant Axe looked at the list, his face showing genuine respect. "Back when the Original Ancestor was still here, he warned me that the one person in the Primal Universe who must never be provoked is the Mountain Sitting Guest. I did not expect his strength to have reached such a level."

"This person is truly unfathomable." The City Lord of Chaos nodded. "Fortunately, he harbors no hostility toward humanity; he even once helped the Original Ancestor in the past. Him being ranked first is the best possible outcome for us."

The other human Universe Masters nodded in succession.

A lone powerhouse with no ambition and transcendent strength was indeed more reassuring than any peak race taking the top spot.

The reactions of the Insect Race, the Machine Race, the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance, the Snow Border Alliance, and other factions were surprisingly consistent.

Astonishment, followed by relief, and finally, a sense of fortune.

Astonishment at the strength of the Mountain Sitting Guest, relief at his mystery, and fortune at his detachment.

Only those scattered minor alliances and small factions began to harbor different thoughts.

"Senior Mountain Sitting Guest has no clan; if we could invite him to join us..."

This thought sprouted in the minds of many factions, and they immediately dispatched envoys to the star region where the Mountain Sitting Guest lived in seclusion.

However, to their disappointment, every invitation was rejected.

"I do not enjoy conflict, nor do I have any intention of becoming an alliance leader or sect master. You may all return."

The voice of Yang Yu echoed from the void, indifferent and distant.

Though the envoys were unwilling to give up, they dared not press the matter further and could only depart in dejection.

The strength of the Mountain Sitting Guest was plain for all to see; if he was unwilling, who dared to force him?

On a nameless planet.

Yang Yu sat cross-legged atop a mountain peak manifested by the Jin King Palace, watching the departing envoys, and shook his head slightly.

"Become the alliance leader? I don't have the spare time for that."

He turned his gaze toward the list hanging in the starry sky. Once the footage of his battle, where he toyed with numerous Universe Masters, finished playing, his rewards were set to appear.

[TOP 1: Mountain Sitting Guest, lone Universe Master, mysterious origin, unfathomable strength.]

[Secret Technique Level: God King Realm!]

[Combat Power: Absolutely surpasses all beings in the Primal Universe!]

[Ranking concluded; his combat power is deservedly the strongest in the Third Reincarnation Era of the Primal Universe!]

[Reward: One Hunyuan Void Fire Spirit Fruit, capable of significantly enhancing the consumer's talent and comprehension.]

Swish!

A streak of light cut across the horizon and appeared before Yang Yu.

Reaching out to grab it, a strange fruit emitting a faint fiery glow appeared in Yang Yu's palm.

It was precisely the 'Hunyuan Void Fire Spirit Fruit' rewarded by the Sky Screen!

The surface of the fruit was etched with incredibly profound patterns, as if it contained the Fire Great Dao of the universe's origin.

"Produced by the Great Will of the Hunyuan Void; it is truly extraordinary."

Yang Yu exclaimed in admiration, then immediately popped the Fire Spirit Fruit into his mouth.

The fruit melted upon contact, and a gentle yet majestic power instantly surged into his limbs and bones, permeating every thread of his divine power and every wisp of his soul!

"This is..."

Yang Yu snapped his eyes open, his gaze filled with shock!

His comprehension was increasing at an inconceivable speed!

Those Fire Great Dao principles that were once obscure and difficult to understand had now become incredibly clear!

Even the bottleneck that had trapped him for hundreds of millions of epochs began to loosen!

"So that's how it is... so that's it!"

A surge of enlightenment welled up in Yang Yu's heart, and he immediately closed his eyes to begin his meditation.

He did not know how much time had passed.

Yang Yu opened his eyes once more, a flash of fire flickering within them before vanishing.

"So that's how it is. At this rate of cultivation, the second level of the God King Realm... I will reach it sooner or later!"

Yang Yu could not help but burst into loud laughter.

Having transmigrated here, he had originally thought that the realm of Mountain Sitting Guest was enough for him to roam the Primal Universe at will.

He had not expected that the reward from the Sky Screen would actually give him hope for a breakthrough!

Mountain Sitting Guest's previous realm was the first level of the God King Realm, and his insights into the Fire Great Dao had reached the late stage.

He had been trapped by a bottleneck for so long that he had given up hope of breaking through, but now...

"Great Will of the Hunyuan Void... this Sky Screen is truly my lucky star."

Yang Yu was in a fantastic mood.

At this moment, the content regarding his ranking remained suspended on the list.

When the four characters "God King Realm" appeared on the Sky Screen, the entire Primal Universe fell into a brief, deathly silence.

God King!

"What kind of realm is this?"

"It looks incredibly impressive."

Although the beings of the Primal Universe did not know what the God King Realm was, seeing the Sky Screen's evaluation, they knew it must be a realm that surpassed even the Universe Masters.
