Wang Yu sighed inwardly.
Fortunately, he had already achieved some initial success.
A Universe-level who had crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws, a One-Leaf Qian Wu Adept skilled at nurturing geniuses, an executive of the Virtual Universe Company's commercial division...
With all those titles, he was no ordinary person. Ordinary trouble would not easily come looking for him.
Moreover, his status would continue to rise. Even amid chaos, he would have the strength to protect himself.
After his meeting with Director Lawrence.
The matter of opening the Seventh Battlefield quickly began affecting every corner.
Universe-level warriors could begin receiving planetary territories, but they also had certain responsibilities.
Either they remained in the rear of the territory to develop their domains, nurture geniuses, and create resources.
Or they joined the Universe Army and headed to the Extraterritorial Battlefield to fight and kill enemies.
One after another, all Universe-level warriors received notices requiring them to join the Universe Army in battle.
If they refused, they would have to pay an enormous war tax, an amount large enough to cripple them financially.
Thus, the atmosphere quickly became somewhat turbulent.
Most powerful figures in the universe were highly warlike. Rather than hand over massive taxes, many considered joining the war the better choice. It would temper them through life-and-death trials, and killing enemies could earn military merit to exchange for all sorts of precious treasures.
Since they had decided to go out and fight, all kinds of treasures were indispensable.
For a time, throughout the entire Human Territory, every powerhouse above the Universe-level began frantically buying treasures!
Weapons, battle armor, spacecraft, secret techniques, potions, laser cannons, auxiliary lifeforms...
As long as a treasure could be used on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, its price soared dramatically!
Even standard weapons and battle armor, which normally never ran out of stock, rose by ten or twenty percent.
As for rare treasures, especially trump cards that could save one's life or turn the tables at a critical moment, their prices rose by at least fifty percent. Even doubling in price was nothing unusual!
Many powerhouses spent their wealth as though they were bankrupting themselves, all to buy treasures.
After all, if they died, leaving behind wealth would be useless. Even if they spent everything now, having treasures would give them the confidence to fight and kill. As long as they survived, they could surely earn the military merit back—and perhaps even become rich overnight.
They were not merely scrambling to buy treasures. While preparing their equipment, many powerhouses also began hurrying into various Universe Secret Realms to adventure and temper themselves.
Even more reckless and aggressive individuals directly entered Giant Axe Life-and-Death Battles, and there were quite a few of them.
Although a Giant Axe Life-and-Death Battle could end only when at least one side died—or even when both sides perished together—and was a true battle of life and death, it had always been wildly popular. There were already many such matches in ordinary times, and now there were even more!
Before the great war, everyone wanted to improve their strength as much as possible, even if only by a tiny amount.
Although Wang Yu had absolutely no intention of going out on adventures, Mentor Yoda decided to join the war.
"Mentor, you're going to the Extraterritorial Battlefield too?" Wang Yu was somewhat surprised.
"Yes. I only have a few thousand years left. I'll go mad one last time and give it one final shot. I hope to obtain an opportunity to break through to the Domain Lord Level!" Mentor Yoda said solemnly.
"Is that so..."
"Don't try to persuade me. I've already decided. If I can't break through and end up dying miserably of old age, I'd rather go mad one last time and die on the battlefield!"
"Alright. Since you say so, Mentor, I won't try to persuade you. But..."
Wang Yu flipped his hand and took out a bottle of potion.
"What is this?" Mentor Yoda looked at it with some confusion.
"Mentor, your bloodline seems to be fifth grade?" Wang Yu asked instead.
"Upper fifth grade, fairly close to fourth grade." Mentor Yoda looked at the potion in Wang Yu's hand and shook his head slightly.
"Is this the Bloodline Evolution Potion you obtained from the Virtual Universe Company? It won't be effective for someone with a bloodline at my level. Keep it for yourself!"
"This isn't ordinary stuff." Wang Yu smiled.
"If your bloodline is merely close to fourth grade, Mentor, then it will definitely work."
"What?" Mentor Yoda's gaze instantly turned astonished.
"Th-this... could this be an S-Type Bloodline Potion?!"
Wang Yu merely smiled without answering.
This was actually a Universe-level Bloodline Potion, a level higher.
But there was no need to say everything. If Mentor knew it was a Universe-level Bloodline Potion, it would scare him senseless! He might not even dare accept it!
"Y-you're giving it to me? Then what about yourself..." Mentor Yoda stared fixedly at Wang Yu.
"Of course I won't lack any myself." Wang Yu smiled.
"Mentor told me not to persuade you, so I won't. But I'm giving you another option besides risking your life."
"Your domain has long reached the ninth level, and your skill level is absolutely high enough. You can win a thousand Giant Axe Life-and-Death Battles, so your willpower certainly cannot be weak either." Wang Yu said seriously.
"The reason you only have a few chances out of ten to break through is, plainly speaking, that your genetic bloodline is too ordinary. It has been holding you back."
"As long as you can improve your bloodline, with your strength and willpower, Mentor, you will naturally break through to the Domain Lord Level in one stroke!"
Mentor Yoda stared fixedly at that bottle of colorful potion.
He naturally understood his own situation. Just as Wang Yu had said, his genetic bloodline was not good enough and had been holding him back.
Although his ninth-level domain and powerful will gave him several chances out of ten to succeed, when it came down to it, that still was not enough.
So long as his bloodline improved, breaking through to the Domain Lord Level would become a natural course of events.
But Bloodline Evolution Potions...
Even the most ordinary Bloodline Evolution Potions were restricted items, and they were useless to him. What he needed was an S-Type Bloodline Evolution Potion, yet someone of his status had no way to obtain one!
At this moment, the bloodline potion he had pursued bitterly for tens of thousands of years, the one that could let him break through, was right before his eyes!
Mentor Yoda took a deep breath and accepted the potion with one hand. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Wang Yu, I won't say any more unnecessary words. From this day onward, this life of mine is yours! Whatever you ask me to do, I won't so much as furrow my brow!"
"You're overstating it, Mentor." Wang Yu smiled.
Having obtained the potion, Mentor Yoda used it immediately.
Unlike the Planetary-level and Stellar-level Evolution Potions previously given to the citizens, those potions contained vast amounts of energy. One could break through using only the potion, without absorbing external energy.
But this time, he was using a Bloodline Potion, which only improved the bloodline. Mentor Yoda already had sufficient qualifications in every other regard; only his genetic bloodline had been holding him back.
Thus, the moment he used the potion and his bloodline evolved, it immediately pushed him to begin breaking through to the Domain Lord Level as well!
An incomparably vast amount of cosmic energy continuously gathered toward Mentor Yoda's residence!
Ordinary citizens were merely astonished, unable to understand why such a phenomenon had suddenly occurred. But the other Universe-level warriors on War God Star immediately realized what was happening.
"What enormous cosmic energy!"
"Is it coming from the Patriarch's place?"
"With such a huge disturbance... could the Patriarch be breaking through to the Domain Lord Level?!"
Three Universe-level powerhouses rapidly rose into the air and hovered in the distance, staring in shock toward Mentor Yoda's residence.
They were all descendants of Yoda's family, and their faces were filled with disbelief!
Such a massive disturbance, drawing in an immense amount of cosmic energy...
The Patriarch had to be breaking through to the Domain Lord Level!
"The Patriarch is breaking through?"
"But the Patriarch, he..."
"Shut up!"
Someone revealed a worried expression, but before he could finish speaking, another person sharply stopped him.
The three Universe-level warriors said nothing. They merely stared with incomparably grave expressions at the Patriarch's residence.
The Patriarch had never been unable to break through; he simply had only several chances out of ten. He had even failed once in the past, suffering severe injuries and paying a tremendous price to recover. After that, he had never dared take such risks lightly again.
Yet now... why had the Patriarch suddenly begun his breakthrough without discussing it with them or leaving behind even a single instruction?
All three were extremely worried and silently prayed for the Patriarch, hoping everything would go smoothly.
The enormous disturbance of the breakthrough came quickly and left quickly.
Before long, the cosmic energy that had been gathering so frantically slowly dispersed. Heaven and earth returned to tranquility, as though everything that had just happened were merely an illusion.
The three Universe-level warriors watching from high in the sky were incomparably nervous.
"Is the breakthrough over?" one of them asked, his voice trembling slightly.
"It's calmed down..."
The disturbance of the breakthrough had vanished, but that did not necessarily mean the breakthrough was over. The Patriarch might still be in the midst of it. They absolutely could not disturb him at such a time.
The three waited nervously and uneasily, but they were not kept waiting long.
"Hahahaha! I did it! I did it!"
"I've finally become a Domain Lord!"
"Hahahaha..."
Amid a burst of incomparably joyous laughter, Yoda's figure shot into the sky!
