"The Primal Universe is in chaos; who knows how many heroes and villains will emerge from this."

Yang Yu sighed.

Calm seas do not make skilled sailors.

A comfortable environment cannot forge a true powerhouse.

This great chaos in the Primal Universe is bound to bring forth many geniuses.

"Luo Feng is still in his growth phase, though. I wonder if this upheaval will be a blessing or a curse for him."

When the Sky Screen first appeared, Yang Yu knew the original plot had already changed. Fortunately, he was already standing in an invincible position, so he could watch the evolution of the Primal Universe with composure.

"If nothing goes wrong, the Boundary Beast has already appeared in this reincarnation era, though it hasn't left its lair yet. To eliminate the Boundary Beast, we must rely on geniuses like Luo Feng, combined with various other opportunities."

The Boundary Beast is essentially the 'reset button' for the Primal Universe.

It is a product of the Supreme Rules.

To fight against the Supreme Rules, one must be a true genius; otherwise, it is impossible.

Yang Yu is currently a True God who followed the most ordinary path of laws. Even though his realm is high, his foundation is too poor, and he currently has no way to enslave a Boundary Beast.

"According to the original plot, it is now Earth Year 2268. Luo Feng has just finished receiving the Demon Sound Inheritance and has entered the Primal Secret Realm through the qualification battles. Next, he will complete missions, break through to the Domain Lord level, be sent out, become a disciple of the City Lord of Chaos, and then break through to the World Lord level to train on the outer-region battlefields."

Yang Yu recalled, "After that comes the most important opportunity of Luo Feng's life: becoming the master of the Star Tower! According to the original plot, this is the prelude to Luo Feng's true rise. But now..."

Glancing at the massive list in the starry sky, Yang Yu suddenly felt he needed to do something.

Otherwise, if Luo Feng's future trajectory is disrupted and no peerless genius capable of contending with the Boundary Beast appears, then everything is doomed!

Swish!

Yang Yu waved his hand to put away the Jin King Palace, then took several steps and arrived in the Milky Way Galaxy.

"Earth..."

Looking at the planet in the void ahead, which was almost identical to the one in his memories, Yang Yu felt a wave of emotion. "It is a pity that this Earth is not that Earth."

"Originally, according to Mountain Sitting Guest's plan, he would wait until Luo Feng fully displayed his talent before bringing out the fragments of the Nine Tribulations Manual. Since I already know Luo Feng's potential, I might as well bring it out now."

Yang Yu's gaze was calm. He stepped onto Earth, flipped his wrist, and a strange metal plate was tossed into the depths of the planet.

"Once Luo Feng breaks through to the Domain Lord level and returns to Earth, he will be able to obtain the Nine Tribulations Manual."

Yang Yu looked on with satisfaction, then stepped back into the void to continue monitoring the list in the starry sky.

As the text on the list slowly refreshed once more.

The eighth-ranked powerhouse appeared!

[TOP 8: Machine Father God.]

"Hmm? To think this machine fellow is ranked eighth. I couldn't tell; the secret techniques created by this hunk of iron are actually stronger than those of that fellow Zhen Jiao."

Old Beast God was slightly surprised, but upon reflection, he realized that as the first intelligent life form born from the Primal Universe, the Machine Father God was naturally gifted at deduction and calculation. Coupled with his high talent, it was normal for the secret techniques he created to be of a higher level.

"Eighth is actually him." Founder Giant Axe was also a bit surprised, but he soon arrived at the same conclusion as Old Beast God.

"The Machine Father God already possesses an offensive set of supreme treasures composed of 10,081 peak treasure puppets. The combat power he exerts is comparable to a supreme treasure. With this reward, perhaps the Machine Race will make a move," the City Lord of Chaos worried.

"Let's see what his reward is. If it's an offensive supreme treasure, that's acceptable. If it's armor, a domain-type, or even a palace-type, that would be terrible. Of course, if it's soul-type..."

Dragon Walk Master's hearty voice rang out, "Hahaha, then he deserves his bad luck!"

As an intelligent life form, the Machine Father God has no soul.

Others' soul attacks cannot harm him.

Of course, he cannot use soul attacks either.

So, if the Machine Father God receives a soul-type supreme treasure as a reward, he can only blame his own bad luck.

This is not because soul-type supreme treasures are of low value.

On the contrary.

Soul-type treasures are in the highest tier of value among all treasures.

But unfortunately, the Machine Race has no need for them...

"If even a machine can be ranked eighth, then I must be at least seventh!"

Beast Ancestor finally felt a bit better. "Let's see what his reward is."

Demon Ancestor Secret Realm.

"Hmph, the secret techniques created by this scrap metal are actually stronger than yours, Zhen Jiao? I really have to wonder if this Sky Screen is rigged!"

Dream Demon Ancestor was furious!

Clearly, this Machine Father God fellow was often bullied by the two of them in the Universe Ocean.

Yet, his current ranking was actually higher than theirs!

"Meng Cha, don't get agitated. In all fairness, the level of the Machine Father God's secret techniques is indeed slightly higher than mine," Tremor Demon Ancestor transmitted his voice. "From this perspective, the Sky Screen's assessment of us is quite clear."

"Hmph..."

Machine Race territory.

Within a magnificent God Kingdom.

The high-level members of the Machine Race were all gathered here.

"I am actually only ranked eighth?!"

The Machine Father God was very displeased!

He was the lifeform with the number one computing power in the Primal Universe!

When it came to the deduction of secret techniques, he considered himself second to none; no one would dare claim the top spot!

He had originally thought that the secret techniques he created would at least rank in the top five!

But at this moment, the list in the starry sky clearly showed him at eighth!

What a bitter pill to swallow...

The Machine Father God felt very uncomfortable right now.

"Father God, eighth is already very strong. The two ancestors of the Monster Race are tenth and ninth, after all."

Suddenly.

The voice of a Universe Master of the Machine Race rang out.

"That's right, no matter how bad I am, I'm still not as bad as those two Monster Race ancestors." The Machine Father God suddenly snapped out of it.

"Mm, eighth is not bad either. Let's just see what this Sky Screen will reward."

The gaze of the Machine Father God pierced through his God Kingdom, looking at the list in the sky.

"Please, just don't let it be a soul-type Supreme True Treasure..."

At this moment.

The Machine Father God was panicking.

If the Sky Screen really played a prank and rewarded him with a soul-type Supreme True Treasure, he would truly be left speechless and unable to cry.

Ancestral God Secret Realm.

At this time, the three Ancestral Gods were also constantly monitoring the changes in the rankings.

"The secret technique level of the Machine Father God is indeed higher than that of the Tremor Demon Ancestor. I wonder what he will be rewarded with."

The Aged Ancestral God sighed.

"As long as the two ancestors of the Monster Race are at the bottom, it will be fine. That way, even if the Primal Universe falls into chaos, it won't be too chaotic," the Two-Faced Ancestral God laughed.

"That is true. If the Monster Race were to receive better rewards, combined with their number of powerhouses and vast vassal races, one truly wouldn't know what kind of chaos the Primal Universe would descend into."

The Youthful Ancestral God said, "Next, we shall see who else makes the list. There are at least ten more strongest powerhouses from our Third Reincarnation Era yet to appear. Among the peak races, it is clear that the Crystal Race and Prison Race can no longer make the list, so that leaves the humans and the Insect Race. Among the lone strongest powerhouses, there are also several who are hidden very deeply and have yet to appear."

"Regardless of who makes the list, I hope they can maintain a balance among themselves, otherwise..."

The Aged Ancestral God wore a look of sorrow.
