The legacy of Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm

"Hum!"

In the Infinite Land, the star of solidified light belonging to Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm suddenly erupted with layer upon layer of dazzling radiance. The illusory mist formed from his lingering obsession dispersed, gradually revealing the star.

At that moment, Li Che sensed that he could now control this final star and fully inherit everything Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm had left behind.

Recalling the life of Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm, a textbook example of a Human Race genius, even Li Che could not help feeling a powerful surge of anticipation.

But his instinctive rationality made him suppress that impulse for the moment. His consciousness returned to his original body, and he silently left Earth, flying to the cloaked F6-class spaceship on the outskirts of the Solar System. Only then did he relax a little.

"Bai Yue, activate the ship's highest-level concealment functions and temporarily shut down all communications with the virtual universe. Avoid contact with anyone until I come out."

He gave the order, then unhesitatingly swept his palm over a world ring on his finger and entered it.

Soon, Li Che abruptly appeared in one of the little wooden cabins built beside the sea in the small world within the world ring.

Let me see just how rich a legacy my Mountain Sea Realm self left behind.

Gazing out at the vast, roaring sea that surged through the small world, Li Che spoke inwardly. Only after his emotions gradually settled did he close his eyes and immerse his mind in the Infinite Land.

Then Li Che's manifestation of will began attempting to touch the star of solidified light representing Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm.

"Boom!"

The instant Li Che's consciousness touched that star, a vast stream of continuous memories poured straight into his original body like a raging river.

At that moment, the many experiences of Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm unfolded clearly before his original self.

It was a story from an era far, far removed from the present. Back then, the region of space containing Earth had been a medium-sized starfield in the Human Race's Ganwu Universe Country, under the direct jurisdiction of a marquis-level undying subordinate to the Ganwu Nation Lord.

At that time, not even the Black Dragon Mountain Empire had been founded, let alone the Silver-Blue Empire, an elementary civilization.

Nor had the Mountain Sea Realm been as weak and isolated as Earth in Luo Feng's era. It had already integrated into the cosmic civilization of the Human Race. Legend held that it had once produced a World Lord, and even in its current decline, it still had several Stellar Level experts.

Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm had been born against that backdrop.

When Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm first learned that his homeworld was called the Mountain Sea Realm, he had been rather bewildered, thinking he had transmigrated into some sort of fantasy world.

Only later, when the young Li Che saw his own father park a B6-class spaceship above the planet, did he realize that he had transmigrated into the Swallowed Star World.

It had to be said that Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm had been remarkably lucky.

Thanks to his father's status as a Stellar Level eighth-stage expert, Li Che had been able to join the Ganwu Dojo in his teens and receive highly systematic spirit reader training.

Much like Li Che's original self, his talent had leaned heavily toward the Law of Earth. Combined with his considerable gift for comprehension, this had allowed him to awaken an earth domain at the ninth stage of the Planetary level, causing quite a stir in the local Ganwu Dojo branch.

Afterward, Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm had entered the Ganwu Secret Realm directly as a recognized genius. An undying deity named Marquis Myriad Peaks had valued his aptitude and character, personally taking him as a disciple and carefully nurturing him.

Under such tutelage, Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm had advanced by leaps and bounds. He had soon broken through to the Stellar level, and by its sixth stage, he had comprehended a trace of the Earth Origin Law, delighting Marquis Myriad Peaks even further.

Later, through exchanges and battles with the Ganwu Dojo's many talented members, Li Che had gained insight into the Earth Origin Law ever more quickly. He had even made another breakthrough at the ninth stage of the Stellar level, grasping a trace of the Space Origin Laws.

After that, Li Che had not held back his cultivation. Following a brief stay at the Stellar level, he had broken through to the Universe level and continued advancing with the Ganwu Universe Country's more abundant resources.

At around four thousand years old, Li Che had followed the great Ganwu Nation Lord's arrangements and signed up for the Peak Powerhouses Battle hosted by the Virtual Universe Company.

As a genius who had comprehended both the Origin Laws of Earth and Space at the Stellar level, Li Che had displayed outstanding talent in the Peak Powerhouses Battle. He had easily taken first place within his universe country and entered the final universe-wide trials.

According to the undying deity leading their team at the time, the overall standard of Li Che's Peak Powerhouses Battle had not been particularly high. The quality of its geniuses had been around average, with no exceptionally astounding talents.

In the end, Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm had finished third across the universe in that Peak Powerhouses Battle, successfully joining the Virtual Universe Company's core ranks and becoming a member of the Primal Secret Realm.

Then he had proceeded, step by step, to the Initial Universe, studied the Chaos Stele step by step, challenged the Heavenly Bridge step by step, and, using his foreknowledge as a transmigrator, embarked on the path of analyzing the essence of the Origin Laws...

As he watched Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm join the Primal Secret Realm in those memories, the original Li Che could not help rubbing his temple in the Infinite Land.

So textbook!

So conventional!

This counterpart of mine followed the traditional path of a top genius within human territory to the letter!

After that moment of reflection, Li Che continued watching the life of Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm.

To Li Che's regret, Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm had not possessed Luo Feng's capacity for continual improvement. His true ability had placed him solidly in the middle ranks of the Primal Secret Realm, and even after reaching the Domain Lord level, he had failed to enter the highest-tier Primal Secret Realm.

But as a genius who had emerged from Earth, Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm had possessed some notable strengths.

He had been proficient in matters of the soul, and his willpower had been exceptionally strong!

This had become apparent the first time Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm challenged the virtual universe's Illusion Sea. Many experts had been astonished by his willpower, and some had even considered taking him as a disciple because of it.

Ultimately, thanks to his powerful will, Li Che had been accepted as a disciple by an extraordinarily formidable Universe Venerable of the Human Race. This venerable had been far stronger than even the Ganwu Nation Lord and had been reputed to be one of the Human Race's strongest venerables in that era.

Venerable Youhou!

Oh, so it was him!

When he saw the teacher Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm had taken, the original Li Che nodded slightly.

The era of the Mountain Sea Realm truly had been incredibly distant from the present. Back then, even Lord Youhou had yet to become a Universe Master.

Given Youhou's potential, he must have already been one of the Human Race's powerful Universe Overlords at the time, nearly on the same level as the Celestial Eclipse Palace Master and the Star Prison Demon Lord.

Fortunately, no other geniuses had risen from the Mountain Sea Realm back then, so it had not attracted the attention of the Human Race's higher-ups as it had during Hong and Luo Feng's era.

With the resources provided by his teacher, Venerable Youhou, Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm had obtained a treasure that enhanced his genetic level after undergoing a life-and-death trial at the peak of the Domain Lord level. With the help of that exceptionally unusual treasure, he had even acquired the innate secret technique-Clone.

After that, he had progressed at a steady pace. From his external assignment as a Domain Lord to his tempering on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield as a World Master Level expert, Li Che had never stopped advancing.

Later, during one of his returns to Earth, Li Che had encountered a projection of the Universe Master Puti and embarked on the path of a candidate seeking to become the Star Tower's master.

Practicing the Nine Tribulations Manual, raising his genetic level, meeting Puti...

Without a doubt, after obtaining Sitting Mountain Guest's inheritance, Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm had further improved his strength, comprehension, and other abilities, successfully entering the virtual universe's Primal Secret Realm as a World Lord.

Yet the outcome could not be changed. Even with the support of the many treasures Sitting Mountain Guest had left behind, Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm had still fallen on the path to becoming the Star Tower's master. His soul and will had been immensely powerful, and he had even obtained a General Soul, achieving the feat of destroying a peak marquis-level undying's soul while still at World Master Level.

"What a pity. If he had continued along his path step by step, this self might well have become a Universe Venerable someday."

After fully digesting the memories of Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm, the original Li Che could not help sighing. The Star Tower was too unusual. It was as though the thing had been prepared specifically for Luo Feng; anyone else who attempted it was simply throwing their life away.

Then a faint smile appeared on Li Che's lips again.

Li Che could not help being so pleased.

For him, the legacy of Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm was exactly what he needed right now.
