The Primal Universe.
A piece of news passed by the Northern Border Alliance to the core leadership of the Primal Universe's major powers struck like a star plunging into a tranquil lake, raising towering waves that swept across trillions of light-years-the Human Race had produced a new Universe Master!
And this new Universe Master was none other than Yang Zheng, humanity's recent peerless genius, who had cultivated for less than ten thousand years.
"Impossible!"
"Absurd! Absolutely impossible!"
"A youngster who has cultivated for less than ten thousand years? Even if the Human Race poured all its resources into raising him, even if he cultivated in a Miniature Universe with time accelerated ten thousandfold, it would still be utterly impossible!"
Upon learning this shocking news, an alien Universe Master cultivating in seclusion in an ancient star domain was consumed by disbelief, finding the whole thing utterly absurd.
"Does he not need to comprehend laws? Accumulate divine power? Temper his will?"
"Has the Northern Border Alliance lost its mind? Or is it trying to throw the universe into chaos? It expects us to believe such a clumsy lie? Does it really take us for ignorant mortals?!"
"Even if he spent all his time in a Miniature Universe under Ten Thousand Times Time Acceleration, that would amount to no more than ten thousand eras! That isn't even enough time for me to take a nap! How could he possibly do it?!"
Doubt!
Disbelief!
That was the first reaction of most Universe Masters who received the news. It could even be called an instinctive reaction, because the news spread by the Northern Border Alliance was simply too outrageous.
It had gone beyond the bounds of "genius" and completely overturned everything the universe's supreme beings had understood about the path to strength over countless years.
