"The Primal Universe is in chaos. I wonder how many more extraordinary figures will emerge."
Yang Yu sighed.
A calm sea could not train an excellent sailor.
A comfortable environment could not temper a true powerhouse.
This upheaval in the Primal Universe was bound to produce many talented figures.
"Luo Feng is still growing. I wonder whether this upheaval will be good or bad for him."
When the Sky Screen appeared, Yang Yu knew that the original story had already changed. Fortunately, he had already secured his position, so he could calmly watch the Primal Universe unfold.
"Unless something unexpected happens, the Boundary Beasts have already appeared in this Reincarnation Era. They just haven't left their lair yet. To eliminate them, we'll still have to rely on a genius like Luo Feng, along with a host of other opportunities."
Boundary Beasts could be called the Primal Universe's "restart button."
They were creations of the Supreme Rule.
To stand against the Supreme Rule, one had to be a true genius. Otherwise, it was simply impossible.
Yang Yu had become a True God through the most ordinary Law Path. Though his realm was high, his foundations were too weak, and for now, he had no way to enslave a Boundary Beast.
"According to the original story, it's now 2268 of the Earth calendar. Luo Feng has just finished the Demon Sound Inheritance and entered the Primal Secret Realm through the Qualification Battle. Next, he'll complete missions, break through to Universe Master Level and be sent out, become City Lord of Chaos's disciple, then break through to World Lord Level and train on the Outer Domain Battlefield."
Yang Yu recalled, "After that comes the most important opportunity of Luo Feng's life: claiming Star Tower! In the original story, that was the prelude to Luo Feng's complete rise. But now..."
He glanced at the enormous inscription in the starry sky. Suddenly, Yang Yu felt he needed to do something.
Otherwise, Luo Feng's future would be thrown off course, and no peerless genius capable of contending with the Boundary Beasts might emerge.
Then they'd be doomed!
Whoosh!
Yang Yu waved his hand and put away Jin King Palace. After several steps, he arrived in the Milky Way Galaxy.
"Earth..."
Looking at the planet in the distance, almost identical to the one in his memories, Yang Yu felt a rush of emotion. "Unfortunately, this Earth isn't that Earth."
"Mountain Sitting Guest originally planned to wait until Luo Feng had fully revealed his talent before giving him the Nine Tribulations Manual fragment. Since I already know Luo Feng's potential, I might as well give it to him now."
Yang Yu's gaze was calm. With a single step, he arrived on Earth, then flipped his wrist and tossed a strange metal plate deep into the planet.
"Once Luo Feng breaks through to Universe Master Level and returns to Earth, he'll be able to find the Nine Tribulations Manual."
Yang Yu gave it a satisfied glance, then stepped back into the void and continued watching the inscription in the starry sky.
As the writing on the ranking slowly refreshed once more,
the eighth-ranked powerhouse appeared!
[TOP 8: Machine Father God.]
"Hm? Machine actually ranked eighth? I never would've guessed. That hunk of metal created secret techniques that are even a little stronger than Zhen Jiao's."
Old Beast God was slightly surprised, but then he thought it over. As the first intelligent life born in the Primal Universe, Machine Father God was naturally exceptionally skilled at deduction and calculation. With his high talent, it was only normal for him to create secret techniques of a higher level.
"He's eighth?" Founder Giant Axe was surprised, too, but soon reached the same conclusion as Old Beast God.
"Machine Father God already has an attack-type Set Supreme Treasure made up of 10,081 Peak Supreme Treasure puppets. In his hands, its combat power is enough to rival a Supreme Treasure. With this reward, the Machine Race may make a move," City Lord of Chaos said worriedly.
"Let's see what his reward is. If it's an attack-type Supreme Treasure, we can accept that. But if it's armor, a domain, or even a palace, then we're in trouble. Of course, if it's a soul-type..."
Dragon Walk Master's hearty voice rang out. "Hahaha, then he'll just be out of luck!"
As an intelligent lifeform, Machine Father God had no soul.
Other people's Soul Attacks couldn't harm him.
Of course, he couldn't use Soul Attacks either.
So if Machine Father God received a soul-type Supreme Treasure as his reward, he'd be the one out of luck.
That wasn't because soul-type Supreme Treasures were worth little.
On the contrary.
Soul-type Supreme Treasures were among the most valuable of all Supreme Treasures.
But the Machine Race had no use for one...
"If Machine can rank eighth, then I must be at least seventh!"
Beast Ancestor was finally feeling a little better. "We'll just have to see what his reward is."
Demon Ancestor Secret Realm.
"Hmph! That lump of scrap metal created secret techniques stronger than yours, Zhen Jiao. I'm starting to wonder if there's something fishy about this Sky Screen!"
Dream Demon Ancestor was furious!
Machine Father God was someone she and her companion often bullied in the Universe Ocean.
And now his ranking had surpassed theirs!
"Meng Cha, don't get worked up. To be fair, Machine's secret techniques are indeed a little stronger than mine," Tremor Demon Ancestor transmitted. "The Sky Screen seems to have a clear understanding of us in that regard."
"Hmph..."
Machine Race territory.
Inside a magnificent divine kingdom,
the Machine Race's higher-ups had all gathered.
"How did I end up ranked eighth?!"
Machine Father God was deeply displeased!
He was the lifeform with the greatest computing power in the Primal Universe!
When it came to deducing secret techniques, he considered himself second to none!
He'd thought his creations would rank in the top five, at the very least!
But the inscription in the starry sky clearly showed him in eighth place!
A damn eighth-place burger...
Machine Father God was miserable. What a pain.
"Father God, eighth place is already very impressive. The two Monster Race ancestors are tenth and ninth."
Suddenly,
a Machine Race Universe Master spoke up.
"That's true. However far behind I am, I'm still not as bad as those two Monster Race ancestors." Machine Father God came around.
"Mm, eighth place is fine. Let's see what the Sky Screen gives me as a reward."
Machine Father God's gaze passed through his divine kingdom and settled on the inscription in the sky.
"Please, don't let it be a soul-type Supreme Treasure..."
At that moment,
Machine Father God was panicking.
If the Sky Screen really played a joke on him and awarded him a soul-type Supreme Treasure, he'd be utterly devastated.
Ancestral God Secret Realm.
The Three Ancestral Gods were also watching the rankings closely.
"Machine Father God's secret techniques are indeed a little stronger than Tremor Demon Ancestor's. I wonder what his reward will be," Aged Ancestral God sighed.
"As long as the two Monster Race ancestors are at the bottom, the Primal Universe won't fall into too much chaos, even if it is in turmoil," Two-Faced Ancestral God said with a smile.
"Just so. If the Monster Race gets better rewards, combined with the number of powerhouses they have and their many vassal races, who knows how chaotic the Primal Universe will become?"
Youthful Ancestral God said, "Now we just have to see who else makes the list. At least ten of the strongest powerhouses from our Third Reincarnation Era have yet to appear. Among the peak races, the Crystal Race and Prison Race are definitely out, leaving only humanity and the Insect Race. Several of the strongest solitary experts who've kept a low profile have yet to show up, too."
"Whoever makes the list, I hope they can maintain a balance among themselves. Otherwise..."
Aged Ancestral God wore a worried expression.
