Zhang Junbao, inside the Golden Crow Hall, was unaware that a dramatic change had occurred on Viska Star.
Since he fell into a deep sleep, he dreamed that he had transformed into a small beast, growing up alone in the universe. After countless eons, he slowly grew up and gradually revealed his special potential.
Countless races from across the universe came to hunt him down, wanting to enslave him, to have his flesh and blood strengthen his body, and to refine his horn into Supreme Treasure. He was enraged and annihilated all those races that attempted to hunt him down.
His growth was entirely a path of slaughter, a journey filled with bloodshed and carnage, where anyone who stood in his way was eliminated one by one. He seemed to be a natural-born darling of the universe, his comprehension of the laws of Law was extremely rapid, and he quickly grew into a super strongman, with few rivals in the universe.
One day, a voice echoed in his mind, telling him that the universe needed him to maintain balance, and he agreed.
Thus, he became the Ancestral God, the spokesperson for the Universe Origin.
After becoming Ancestral God, he received the gift of the Universe Origin and comprehended the true meaning of the Universe Laws.
The Ten Great Laws of the universe—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, light, lightning, time, and space —Law are all manifestations of the Universe Origin. They are unique entities that can also be interconnected and transformed into one another.
Finally, one day, he felt too lonely, and he decided to use the Law bestowed by the Universe Origin to create a race.
When the first Viska Star People was born, the Ancestral God bestowed upon him the power of the Time Law. This power was like a replica of himself, with exactly the same insights.
The second Viska Star People was granted the power of Space Law by the Ancestral God.
The Viska Star People, who were subsequently born, each received the power of the Eight Great Basic Laws. Billions of Viska Star People were then born from this, inheriting some of the genes and bloodline of the Ancestral God, and fusing with the genes of other races in the universe, ultimately giving birth to the exceptionally talented Viska Star People race.
As the secret techniques for creating a race became more and more perfect, he finally discovered that he had mastered a secret technique that could create another version of himself, Innate Secret Technique — Clone!
Unlike the Golden Horned Beast, this is not Innate Secret Technique bestowed by the Universe Origin, but rather Clone Secret Technique of creating an avatar that the Ancestral God continuously refined, analyzed, and ultimately comprehended based on the Ten Great Laws.
After countless epochs, Zhang Junbao saw that he was besieged by countless cosmic races, including many of the races that had hunted him before. He seemed to have become a treasure that other races in the universe were vying to hunt, with the Machine Race being the main force among them.
He fought and was constantly defeated. Although the Universe Origin Will had granted him the identity of Ancestral God, there were simply too many races besieging him, and even the identity of Ancestral God could not protect his safety.
After countless battles, he finally collapsed, unable to hold on any longer, and never woke up again.
"Call..."
Just then, in a room of the Golden Crow Hall, Zhang Junbao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He saw his surroundings and felt they were all so unfamiliar.
"I... had a very long dream. It seemed I became Ancestral God. And I gave birth to a race, the Viska Star, and most importantly, the Clone Secret Technique!"
Zhang Junbao tried hard to recall everything in the dream. The dream was extremely long, seemingly real yet unreal, and Zhang Junbao couldn't be sure what it was all about.
"By the way, I remember after the leader of the Ancestral God Religion self-destructed, I seemed to be attacked by something!"
He closed his eyes and explored his own sea of consciousness.
But it was only after checking that Zhang Junbao discovered something new in his sea of consciousness.
Originally, Zhang Junbao had a Heavenly Spirit Mind-Stabilizing Pearl in his sea of consciousness, which ensured that his soul could withstand the attacks of King Level expert.
But now something new has appeared in my mind's sea of consciousness—a single horn!
"This is the single horn on the Ancestral God Phantom condensed by the leader of the Ancestral God Religion. I recognize it! In that dream, this horn also existed. It seems to be the single horn on the head of the Ancestral God — the Ancestral God Lingxi!"
The Ancestral God's Spiritual Insight, which condenses all the Law Comprehension the Ancestral God Lingxi's laws, contains all the secret techniques it has nurtured, including the Clone Secret Technique!
Zhang Junbao was immediately excited. Although he had analyzed the secret patterns on the Golden Horned Beast's body, he still couldn't unravel the mystery within. This was because the Golden Horned Beast's Innate Secret Technique, the Clone, was bestowed by the Universe Origin. Fundamentally, it was a secret technique that could neither be learned nor analyzed.
However, in Zhang Junbao's dream, the Clone Secret Technique that the Ancestral God possessed was deduced by the Ancestral God itself and was recognized by the Universe Origin.
Zhang Junbao secretly probed his Spiritual Force into the Ancestral God Lingxi, and a strand of his Ancestral God Lingxi wrapped around it. Suddenly, his spiritual power strand seemed to be drawn by some inexplicable Law in the universe, instantly penetrating the test of ten layers of Law.
"Laugh!"
Zhang Junbao's Spiritual Force was immediately drawn in and surged wildly toward the Ancestral God Lingxi.
"Damn it!" Zhang Junbao's body trembled, his face showing great pain. He gritted his teeth, and his Spiritual Force surged suddenly.
Just now, his Spiritual Force was drawn over and subjected to the test of ten levels of Power of Law. An inexplicable pressure seemed to be lurking nearby. If he couldn't pass any of the tests, he would definitely be killed instantly.
"Fortunately, I have comprehended all Ten Great Laws, otherwise I would probably have died without knowing why!" Zhang Junbao took a deep breath, and his Spiritual Force continued to penetrate deeper into the Ancestral God Lingxi. Suddenly, a strange piece of information entered his mind.
It wasn't any script he recognized, nor was it the script of Viska Star, but strangely, Zhang Junbao automatically grasped the meaning of this information.
But when he tried to read the message aloud, he found that he couldn't utter a single word.
"This... there's a force preventing me from releasing this information. Could it be the power of the Universe Origin?"
Zhang Junbao recalled the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual that existed on Earth. Although he had not yet found the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, he had undoubtedly just obtained this information, which had something in common with the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual: it could not be expressed in the universe.
"It can only be understood intuitively and not explained in words? Perhaps this secret technique involves information from the Universe Origin, which the Origin Will does not allow to be revealed. Yet the Ancestral God was able to preserve this information within the Ancestral God Lingxi, presumably so that future generations could learn it."
Zhang Junbao thought to himself.
"However, Ten Great Laws have been set up. If one cannot comprehend the Ten Great Laws and pass the trials, one's soul will likely be directly annihilated, and one will not be qualified to know this secret at all."
"However, according to the description in the secret method, in order to create Clone, it is necessary to use the genes of various races in the universe as a blueprint, and finally optimize one of the best genes for creation."
Unlike the Golden Horned Beast's Clone, which could only replicate based on the genes of one type of life Clone and were limited by the Life Gene Level, this Golden Horned Beast was different.
But the Ancestral God's secret technique can actually fuse the genes of multiple races. Could it be that it can possess the Innate Secret Technique of multiple races?
If that's really the case, then this Clone Secret Technique itself is an extremely powerful and heaven-defying existence.
"No, mixing multiple Innate Secret Technique will cause genetic collapse and result in failed conception!"
"As expected, if the Clone that were conceived could possess the Innate Secret Technique of countless races, the Ancestral God at that time would have had no chance of losing."
In this way, the Ancestral God could directly seek out and fuse the genes of Special Lifeform forms in the universe, and the final Clone would likely defy the heavens.
Innate Secret Technique are gifts from the Universe Origin to Special Lifeform forms. Almost every Special Lifeform form has Innate Secret Technique, and the rarer the Special Lifeform form, the more terrifying its Innate Secret Technique tend to be.
"It seems that the power of Innate Secret Technique is linked to the level of a life form's Life Gene Level. This information is extremely duplicated; rather than being a transmission of a secret technique, it is more like an experimental note from the Ancestral God researching secret techniques."
Even a simple experimental notebook can be restricted by the Universe Origin Will; the upper limit of this secret technique must be incredibly high!
Zhang Junbao smiled. The fact that it was restricted by the Universe Origin Will demonstrated the preciousness of this secret technique. Ordinary secret techniques wouldn't even qualify for restriction by the Universe Origin Will; only extremely heaven-defying secret techniques could receive such treatment.
"Now is not the time to study the secret techniques. I am currently in the Golden Crow Hall. The Clone Secret Technique involves too many secrets and absolutely cannot be revealed. We should wait until we return to the manor in the Primal Secret Region to study it."
Zhang Junbao abruptly interrupted his exploration. Although he was eager to uncover the secrets of the Clone, the place he was in was not safe.
The Venerable Golden Crow is nearby. If he accidentally reveals any secrets, he will definitely not be able to hide them from the Venerable Golden Crow. He is currently hiding too many secrets. Once they are exposed, Zhang Junbao even suspects that the Venerable Golden Crow might choose to kill him and then run away with the treasures.
"Just emptying the treasury of the Ancestral God Religion would probably amount to billions of Hunyuan Unit of wealth. There are also three Marquis Level riches, which, although not as much as the treasury, are still extremely substantial."
As for that Ancient Soul Tree, the way it nurtures the Soul Origin Golden Fruit is somewhat cruel, requiring the constant absorption of soul power. It's better to just sell it within the Virtual Universe Company and let whoever wants to cultivate it do so.
Now that the leader of the Ancestral God Religion is dead, this Ancient Soul Tree has become ownerless.
"I absorbed the Exquisite Jade and acquired four Bi Xue Jade, so my second mission on Viska Star is complete. However, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to awaken the Wisdom Divine Rune for my first mission."
"Master, you're finally awake! I've missed you so much!" Feitian's voice entered Zhang Junbao's mind.
"Haha, it can't be that serious. I just took a nap, it's not a big deal," Zhang Junbao said.
"What do you mean you just slept? You've been in a coma for a full thirty years!" Feitian said with a worried expression.
"Thirty years?" Zhang Junbao never expected that he had a dream that lasted for thirty years.
"Yes, Feitian has been protecting his master all this time."
"Thanks a lot!"
"It's not hard work. As long as Master wakes up, everything will be fine!"
"Master, among the three Immortal storage rings you seized, two belonged to elders of the Ancestral God Hall. I found the method to awaken the Wisdom Divine Rune inside them," Feitian reported.
"By the way, as an elder of the Ancestral God Hall, you should have mastered the method to awaken the Wisdom Divine Rune. Although I absorbed the Exquisite Jade, the reward of the Wisdom Divine Rune is negligible to me now, but even a mosquito's leg is still meat. Feitian Fairy is still the best to me!"
"Master is the best!" Feitian said happily.
"Let me see, the method for awakening the Wisdom Divine Rune is actually to absorb a small piece of Bi Xue Jade. The characteristic is that the Innate Rune between the eyebrows will emit a special light, and the power of each Law is different."
If that's the case, it seems that I've also acquired this characteristic after absorbing the Exquisite Jade!
With a thought, a beam of light appeared between Zhang Junbao's brows—his Law of Light. Under this light, Zhang Junbao's comprehension of light would increase, but he could also choose not to let it appear.
"Looks like I've completed both tasks. With the Exquisite Jade, the Bi Xue Jade is no longer needed; I might as well hand it over to the Virtual Universe Company."
Zhang Junbao knew that the true value of the Bi Xue Jade was probably more than 100,000 points. However, the Virtual Universe Company did this to prevent the true value of the Bi Xue Jade from being exposed. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them, these little guys at the Universe Level, to obtain the Bi Xue Jade.
"Click"
The door to Zhang Junbao's room was suddenly opened.
"Your Highness Zhang Junbao, you're finally awake!"
"Hello, Messenger of the Mingyue. This is indeed the Golden Crow Hall," Zhang Junbao said.
"Hehe, you were unconscious for thirty years. It was the Venerable One who ordered us to guard you. It was also the Venerable who brought you back to life," Mingyue said with a smile.
"Thank you, Venerable! And thank you, Messenger Mingyue, for your care over the years." Zhang Junbao rose to express his gratitude.
"Your Highness is too kind. It's only right. You should thank the Venerable instead. We were just following Venerable instructions." Although Mingyue said it wasn't necessary, her smile became even sweeter.
She had seen many human geniuses in the Golden Crow Hall, but most of them were extremely arrogant and looked down on her, or were extremely indifferent and didn't even offer a smile.
Very few people are like Zhang Junbao, who, despite his noble status, has no arrogance whatsoever and is extremely easygoing and approachable to them.
" The Venerable instructed that once Your Highness awakens, he will take you to see Venerable. Please follow me now, Your Highness; the Venerable is already waiting."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Zhang Junbao went with Mingyue to pay their respects to Venerable Golden Crow. After all, Venerable Golden Crow had saved his life at the most critical moment, and Zhang Junbao had to express his sincere gratitude.
However, on his way to pay his respects to Venerable Golden Crow, he felt as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
What exactly is it?
