Essentially, the Initial Universe is a very accidental existence.
It was originally the miniature universe of Origin, the first strongest being of the human race in this reincarnation era, and did not differ essentially from the miniature universes of the many True Gods in the universe.
It was only because the human Origin Ancestor courted death that he was completely suppressed by the primitive universe will, and his miniature universe was similarly suppressed in a certain way, able to exist only in the state of "primordial chaos not yet parted," completely unable to undergo further evolution.
Yet it was precisely this unique characteristic of heaven and earth not yet parted that allowed later generations of the human race to observe the operating laws of the universe with the naked eye in the most intuitive way, making their cognition of the laws clearer and more thorough.
Over time, this small universe that failed to successfully evolve came to be called the Initial Universe, becoming a sacred practice ground yearned for by the weak of the human race.
When Li Che first descended into the Initial Universe through the cosmic passage, he and the geniuses in the Ten Thousand Peaks Hall also clearly felt the rule changes in this universe, which were completely different from the primitive universe.
Here, the operation of cosmic rules was no longer an obscure and hard-to-understand concept, but something truly visible to the naked eye. It was like fine lines intertwined in the void, knowing neither where they started nor where they ended.
The fine lines transformed from the rules were intertwined and entangled with one another according to some unspeakable pattern, while others transformed into brilliant secret markings, expounding certain essential things about the operation of the universe.
Laws...
At the passageway where the Ten Thousand Peaks Hall connected to the outside world, Li Che sat cross-legged. Merely gazing at those intertwined rule mysteries made him feel inspirations bursting forth from his mind, all of them his understanding of the origin laws.
He breathed gently in the void. The two major origin laws of earth and space intertwined, converged, and fused, finally gathering into an illusory and profound celestial body that drifted up and down behind Li Che.
That was a black hole. As one of the most mysterious celestial bodies in the universe, it possessed unimaginable mass, density, and gravity. Within the range of the gravitational field, space was distorted and collapsed layer upon layer.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the black hole evolved by Li Che seemed to have gained something extra. The chaotic and distorted spatial origin power around it churned, shaking the surrounding void to tear, becoming noticeably sharper than before.
That feeling was as if Li Che's black hole law had completed its evolution, with infinite gravity distorting space and bringing forth the tearing law.
At a certain moment, Li Che understood the essence of this rule.
Spatial tearing was one of the minor branches of spatial annihilation, which was one of the three major directions of the spatial origin laws.
"Congratulations, just entering the Initial Universe and you've already mastered another minor category of the spatial annihilation direction."
With spatial fluctuations, the figure of Venerable Luan Mo appeared out of thin air beside Li Che. The Ten Thousand Peaks Hall was his supreme treasure, and nothing that happened within it could be hidden from him, so he naturally easily discovered Li Che's change.
"Just small accomplishments," Li Che said modestly.
Regarding his talent during this recent period, even Li Che himself was somewhat surprised. Perhaps due to his sufficiently high affinity for the black hole law, after acquiring that "Black Hole Evolution," he experienced tiny progress almost every single moment.
Of course, the help Venerable Luan Mo gave him during this time by repeatedly demonstrating complete spatial annihilation for him was also not small.
"This is hardly a small accomplishment. To master another spatial law minor branch in such a short time-if the Zerg, Demon Race, Machine Race, and other foreign races were to learn the details of your situation, they would probably place you in the top five of their Genius Kill List."
"If those unfilial disciples of mine had half your talent when they were world lords, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Venerable Luan Mo sighed.
As a medium Universe Venerable and a noble existence who had mastered the superior origin laws, he knew very well how difficult it was to master a superior origin law branch.
At the world master level, those who mastered a certain minor branch under the three major directions of the superior laws could gain the recognition of the corresponding superior origin laws, and such world lords could be called peerless experts within this level.
Such world lords were generally members cultivated wholeheartedly by the core strata of the five major powers, and those occasional wild ones would also receive invitations in a short time; the King-level Immortals of the five major forces were very willing to invest in such disciples.
As for comprehending a major branch of the superior origin laws, that was one of the hard evaluation standards of the human race for peak kings. Whether it was spatial lockdown, instantaneous movement, or spatial annihilation in the spatial law direction, or the three major categories in the time law direction, they were all very mature and extremely tricky methods.
In the view of Venerable Luan Mo, a young genius like Li Che who spent only a little over fifty thousand years to master multiple spatial lockdown and spatial annihilation branches could with extreme probability successfully grasp one of the three major directional paths of the spatial origin laws during the world lord period.
That was definitely the standard of a world lord level successfully passing the 19th floor of the Heavenly Bridge.
In the current era, among all world lord level core members of the five major powers, there was not a single character who could pass the 19th floor of the Heavenly Bridge.
"According to what you're saying, my previous personal information hasn't been concealed much, and when I battled that Iron Sword Marquis, I also displayed the power of more than one spatial annihilation direction minor branch. Will it be noticed by interested parties?"
Li Che's focus was not here. He heavily heard Venerable Luan Mo mention the kill list of the foreign races, which made Li Che vigilant; he indeed hadn't realized this problem before.
"Hahaha! You've finally realized it."
Hearing this, Venerable Luan Mo let out space-shaking laughter, extremely satisfied with Li Che's alertness.
"Rest assured, I've already contacted the Virtual Universe Company. The information related to you has been blessed with high-level viewing permissions, and the few Undying Deities who had conflicts with you have also undergone corresponding screening and warnings."
Turning around, this ancient and powerful Undying Deity wore a solemn expression and said in a deep voice:
"But you must understand, you are about to join the core stratum of the Arena, and might even be accepted as a disciple by the great Void Gold Master. You will inevitably display your aptitude, almost certainly arousing the attention of those foreign race spies within the race's territory. They are venomous snakes hidden in the darkness, most skilled at assassinating the geniuses of our human race, so you must pay attention in the future."
"I understand this, and I'll be vigilant in the future," Li Che nodded and said.
Race hegemony was extremely cruel. The price paid to assassinate a universe venerable seed of a hostile race was much simpler than killing a universe venerable of a hostile race.
In the past, he actually didn't care much about displaying his talent. After all, Li Che at that time was a wild minor world lord, and although he had some fame, it wasn't enough to attract the attention of foreign races.
But now, the aptitude Li Che displayed was already somewhat outrageous, coupled with the fact that he was about to be taken as a disciple by the Void Gold Master, the assassination problem he had to face was about to be brought to the table.
"Mhm, don't be too nervous. As long as your talent is sufficient, the great Void Gold Master will not be stingy with life-saving props. I and the Arena will also dispatch dedicated personnel to look out for your family and friends."
Venerable Luan Mo smiled. He suddenly pointed far away ahead toward a chaotic continent floating in the void and smiled:
"Look, that city on the continent-that is the supreme treasure of our human race and the most precious place in the Initial Universe: Chaos City!"
