Iron Head Baby
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Xu Qing. Was he even human?
"This is the Life Gene Path, which is even more difficult than the law fusion route. Let alone Perfect Life gene, many top Universe Master struggle to even reach ten thousand times the life gene."
"After all, a limit is a limit. Whether you can reach that limit is another matter entirely. And even if you break through the limit and your life genes exceed 10,081 times, how much more do you need to surpass to reach a new level? Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand? Or more?"
"I don't know either. In comparison, the fusion of laws seems simpler, since there's a foundation to follow, so you can follow the clues instead of going completely blind," Xu Qing said lazily.
After hearing so much from Xu Qing, everyone present was deeply moved and unable to calm down for a long time.
"Go for it, my fellow countrymen! Uncle Little Azure Dragon is rooting for you!" Xu Qing winked.
Those present immediately felt something was off; this kid was really mischievous, but he was also undeniably impressive.
"Brother-in-law, why don't you pursue the Life Gene Path? If you can continuously improve your Life Gene Level, you will be absolutely invincible in the future, and even I might not be able to defeat you," Xu Qing, looking at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng rolled his eyes. "You little brat, you're encouraging me to take this most difficult route. Aren't you up to something?"
"How could that be? I'm just recommending it in good faith. Think about it, brother-in-law, the more difficult this path is, the greater the benefits after success. Otherwise, why would everyone become the Supreme Universe Being, but this path is so difficult?"
"This route holds a great secret. My intuition tells me, brother-in-law, trust me, taking the Life Gene Path is absolutely the right thing to do," Xu Qing coaxed patiently.
"Why didn't you take this route yourself? You're the one who discovered it," Luo Feng retorted.
"I'm doing research, but as you know, research requires experimental samples, and I don't have enough. It would be even better if you joined in," Xu Qing said, pursing his lips.
"So, you wanted me to be your experimental subject, you little rascal," Luo Feng said, arms crossed.
"What kind of malicious intent is this? This is a sacrifice for the great cause of life's evolution. Those who believe in Uncle Little Azure Dragon will gain eternal life," Xu Qing said earnestly.
Luo Feng glanced at him sideways, but was deep in thought.
Indeed, the path of cultivation is the path of life evolution. The life genes of the Universe Master can theoretically reach a maximum of 10081 times, which is already the limit.
However, this is a theory, not an absolute rule. If this limit can be broken, new changes are very likely to occur.
The phrase "returning to life itself" deeply moved Luo Feng.
He thought of the Nine Tribulations Manual. Why did the Sitting Mountain Guest create this secret technique? Was it merely to allow his life genes to reach the limit of 10081?
Since this limit can be broken, Sitting Mountain Guest couldn't possibly be unaware of it.
"Perhaps I could consult Master Sitting Mountain Guest. He's one of the oldest Supreme Universe Being; he must know something," Luo Feng thought to himself.
"Alright, let's confirm your titles first," the Chaos City Lord interrupted.
"I am the Lord of Great Love, I am the Lord of Great Love," Xu Qing waved his hand.
The Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng, "And you? Lord of Galaxy?"
"The Galaxy Lord, perhaps," Luo Feng thought of his home planet Earth and smiled slightly.
"Alright, next, I will take you to meet the founder of the Virtual Universe Lineage," the Chaos City Lord stood up and led the way.
The Lord of Darkness and his companions also got up and followed.
"The founder of the Virtual Universe Lineage?" Xu Qing and Luo Feng followed curiously.
They had only heard of the Giant Axe Founder, but never of the founder of the Virtual Universe Lineage. Could it be that Human Race has a second Supreme Universe Being?
Xu Qing and his group flew into the sky and entered the Chaos airflow layer, continuing to delve deeper.
"The founder of the Virtual Universe Lineage was the first Supreme Universe Being among Human Race, and also the teacher of me, Darkness, and Ice Peak. Even the Giant Axe Founder received guidance from him," the Chaos City Lord introduced.
Xu Qing and Luo Feng were surprised. It turned out that the Human Race really did have a Supreme Universe Being. How come they had never heard of him before?
"Our teacher was called Yuan, also known as the Yuan Zu. He taught and nurtured a group of Universe Master Human Race. In his prime, he was renowned throughout the Primal Universe and was virtually unmatched in the Universe Ocean."
"It can be said that the number one power in the universe back then was our Human Race, even the Ancestral God Sect was inferior. It's just a pity that some things happened later... We've arrived," Chaos City stopped.
Xu Qing and Luo Feng looked up and saw a majestic statue standing deep in the void.
Surrounding the statue were endless Origin of Laws, as if they were part of the Origin of Laws of the universe.
"Teacher," the Chaos City Lord and the others bowed to the statue.
"This is the founder of my Virtual Universe Lineage, the Yuan Zu, and also your grandmaster," the Chaos City Lord, looking at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng immediately bowed to the statue, saying, "Luo Feng pays respects to Grandmaster."
Xu Qing also bowed.
"Did he do something bad?" Xu Qing suddenly asked.
Everyone was stunned, wondering what this meant.
"He must have been suppressed by the true Universe Origin Will. If he hadn't done something bad, how could he have been suppressed by that old man, the Universe Origin Will?" Xu Qing said.
"You... how did you know?" The Chaos City Lord and the others were all taken aback; Xu Qing had actually noticed it.
"I could tell. This Virtual Universe must be one of the Yuan Zu's secret techniques. He must have seen the true Universe Origin Will, which is why he was able to unleash such a secret technique."
"Why would the Supreme Universe Being go to see the Universe Origin Will? It can't be just for such a secret technique, right? Most likely, he's there to do something bad. Does he want to destroy the Universe Origin Will and then take its place?"
"Tsk tsk, no way, no way, is there really such an arrogant person? The Supreme Universe Being, going against the Universe Origin Will, and even wanting to kill the Universe Origin Will, what Iron Head Baby," Xu Qing clicked his tongue in amazement.
Hearing Xu Qing's speculation, the Chaos City Lord and the others were dumbfounded.
"Teacher, is that really the case? Does the Yuan Zu want to replace the Universe Origin Will?" Luo Feng asked.
"This... I don't know either, but our teacher was indeed suppressed after a great battle with the Universe Origin Will. As for what his purpose was, we are not very clear about it either," the Chaos City Lord replied dryly.
Could it really be as Xu Qing said, that the Yuan Zu repeatedly provoked the Universe Origin Will in order to seize power?
Luo Feng was also a bit dumbfounded. Was there really such a thing? A battle against the Universe Origin Will!
No wonder Xu Qing called the other person Iron Head Baby; most people wouldn't do that.
"The teacher did this in order to seek a breakthrough," the Lord of Ice Peak defended the Yuan Zu.
"You shouldn't go and fight the Universe Origin Will. The Primal Universe is their territory. You fight them on their territory and even try to kill them. Isn't that just being reckless? If the Universe Origin Will doesn't suppress them, who will it suppress?" Xu Qing rolled his eyes.
Upon hearing Xu Qing's words, no one present could refute them.
They also knew very well that in the Primal Universe, the Universe Origin Will was the absolute ruler, and even the Supreme Universe Being were no match for the Universe Origin Will.
But the Yuan Zu did it anyway, and then he was suppressed.
"However, it's still quite impressive that it wasn't killed. This shows that the Universe Origin Will still can't kill a top-tier, Supreme Universe Being."
"What's strange is why the Universe Origin Will insists on suppressing him. It's a thankless task. I suspect it's not the Universe Origin Will's doing, but rather the influence of a higher-level rule," Xu Qing, rubbing his chin.
"Higher-level rules?" The Chaos City Lord and the others were shocked. What were those things? The Universe Operation Rules?
"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it anyway. They're all suppressed, who knows when they'll be released?" Xu Qing shook his head, too lazy to think about it anymore.
"Ugh, I've been thinking too much today. I definitely need to get a good night's sleep when I get back," Xu Qing said, rubbing his head.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly said, "No, please help us think of a way to rescue the Yuan Zu!"
Xu Qing has analyzed so much; perhaps he can come up with a solution.
"What do you take me for? I'm not an omnipotent god. I don't even know what the Universe Origin Will looks like. How am I supposed to come up with a solution? Do you think you can summon the Universe Origin Will to negotiate with me?" Xu Qing rolled his eyes.
Hearing Xu Qing say this, the Chaos City Lord and the others sighed.
"Isn't the Ancestral God Sect protected by the Universe Origin Will? They should have a way to communicate with the Universe Origin Will, right?" Luo Feng suddenly said.
Immediately, the eyes of the Chaos City Lord and the others only lit up for a moment.
"No, back then, Giant Axe also went to the Ancestral God Sect and met the Ancestral God. The answer he received was that the Yuan Zu would not be released," the Chaos City Lord shook his head and said.
Clearly, to save the Yuan Zu, we need to start with the Universe Origin Will, but how could an ordinary person possibly persuade the Universe Origin Will?
"So there's definitely something more hidden here. Let's not think about it for now. Maybe we'll have another chance later," Xu Qing yawned.
Everyone nodded; that was all they could do. Hopefully, they could find another opportunity in the future.
Back on Thunder Island, Xu Qing and the others received an email from the Giant Axe Founder, instructing them to attend the Supreme Council of the Human Race.
According to the Chaos City Lord, there are two types of Supreme Council: one is a large-scale meeting attended by all those above the Universe Venerable, and the other is a meeting between the Universe Master Supreme Universe Being.
"Now that you are the Universe Master of the Human Race, your permission has been enhanced, and you can directly teleport to the Giant Axe Divine Hall. The meeting will be held there," said the Chaos City Lord.
Subsequently, Xu Qing and all of them disappeared from Thunder Island.
Virtual Universe, Giant Axe Plane, Giant Axe Divine Hall.
The Universe Master Universe Master Giant Axe Dojo lineage, including the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the Universe Galaxy Bank, and the Universe First Bank, have all arrived.
Brush!
Seven figures appeared here; they were the Universe Master Xu Qing's Virtual Universe Lineage.
"Chaos, you've come too," the Universe Master looked over.
The seven men sat down on a row of thrones, with Xu Qing at the end, so he could easily slack off during the meeting later.
He quickly settled into the state of a retired cadre, leaning on a cushion like an old man, exuding comfort.
He paid no attention to the conversation around him, lost in his own thoughts.
Anyway, he wasn't interested in anyone else, so whether he knew them or not didn't matter; he just needed to know that these people existed.
"Wait, there's something else," Xu Qing suddenly remembered something.
"Brother-in-law, it's time to take back Earth," Xu Qing said, looking at Luo Feng beside him.
He didn't try to hide it from the others present and said it directly.
The Universe Master present all changed slightly.
"Yes, it's time to take it back," Luo Feng nodded calmly, meeting the gazes of Human Race Universe Master present.
He has now reached this level and has enough influence to speak for him.
"Ah, my poor little Earthling, you're finally going back to your mother's embrace! It's been so hard! Without you, I couldn't eat or sleep well, and I lost so much weight that I can't get it back!" Xu Qing exclaimed, looking like she was crying tears of joy.
Everyone present was startled by him; did he have to be so dramatic?
"Now that Earth's little one is coming back, Mom can finally relax and feel relieved," Xu Qing yawned, then leaned back against a cushion and lay down.
He looked so relaxed, a far cry from his earlier agitated state; he was as calm as a seasoned driver.
Those present were twitching at the sight.
Although I had heard of Xu Qing's great reputation in the universe, I never expected to see him in person and realize that I had been too presumptuous.
However, apart from those from the Virtual Universe Company, the others, such as those from the Giant Axe Dojo, the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the Universe Galaxy Bank, and the Universe First Bank, all felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Xu Qing's outburst was clearly intentional, intended as a warning to them.
Although they felt somewhat uncomfortable, they dared not say anything; Xu Qing was someone they truly couldn't afford to offend.
Based on Xu Qing's consecutive killing of nine Universe Master on the Primitive Star, they could only shut up, not to mention that Luo Feng later also killed a Universe Master.
Although the Universe Master present were all quite powerful, Xu Qing and Luo Feng had already surpassed them.
Xu Qing's proposal to reclaim Earth was naturally non-negotiable, and Luo Feng shared the same sentiment.
The room was quiet; everyone was lost in thought.
At this moment, the Giant Axe Founder arrived.
"Why is it so quiet?" the Giant Axe Founder chuckled, also noticing that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Before anyone else could speak, the Chaos City Lord spoke up, "It's a matter concerning Earth."
The Giant Axe Founder understood immediately. He nodded, "Now that Earth has given birth to two Universe Master, and is the strongest lineage among Human Race, it is only right that we take them back."
"Giant Axe, we all know the importance of Earth. Even if Earth is their home planet, half of its ownership belongs to their race. If they want it back, they must pay something of equal value!" said the Lord of Huangjian of the Universe Mercenary Alliance.
"Indeed," even the Universe Master echoed.
When their own interests are at stake, even under Xu Qing's reprimand, none of the Universe Master present could remain silent.
