Ten years passed.
Purple Thorn Island.
Inside Yun He's mansion.
In the pavilion, Yun He sat on a cushion, holding a cup of wine in one hand and drinking at his leisure.
"Over thirty-one thousand five hundred Glory Points, more than three hundred inheritance opportunities. I'm set."
"Even if I don't study the Space Law after becoming a Universe Venerable, surely this many inheritance opportunities alone will let me achieve Comprehension of the Light-Time Fusion Law and become a Universe Master?"
"Hahaha."
"These aliens are so considerate. It's as if they're afraid I won't become a supreme existence, eagerly delivering so many Glory Points to me."
There were two paths to becoming a Universe Master.
One was to achieve Comprehension of the Space-Time Law.
The other was to achieve Comprehension of one of the eight fusion laws.
Either would allow someone to become a Universe Master.
"Over thirty thousand battles, all against peerless geniuses from the countless races of the universe, and I lost nine times in the end. Tsk, tsk."
Yun He didn't care about those nine defeats at all.
Those opponents really were stronger than him in their comprehension of fusion laws, and their supreme arts were no weaker than the weakened version of Black Hole Strangulation. Some were even stronger.
It was perfectly normal that the weakened Black Hole Strangulation couldn't trap them.
Once Black Hole Strangulation failed to hold them, Yun He couldn't be bothered to keep fighting. He casually exchanged a few moves with them, got a look at their techniques, and then lost without any fuss.
He had a thousand battles to fight each day. There was no need to waste time.
Strictly speaking, Yun He hadn't actually reached the top level of the third layer of fusion laws. He was merely above average.
