The Giant Axe did not disturb Zhang Junbao. The universe is full of mysteries, and even he, the Universe Supreme Master, could not uncover all of them.
This was the first time that Giant Axe had observed Zhang Junbao at such close range. Although the aura of Law emanating from Zhang Junbao was not strong, in terms of comprehensiveness, it surpassed that of Giant Axe.
The Miniature Universe of the Universe Supreme Master is not omnipotent, but rather exhibits different characteristics based on the Law and secret techniques comprehended by the strongest being.
Within the Minor Universe Origin of the Giant Axe, Zhang Junbao sensed boundless destructive power of metal and Heaviness Law of Earth. While other Power of Law were also present, they seemed slightly inferior to these two.
He also knew that Giant Axe was observing his actions. Zhang Junbao had no intention of concealing anything, and whether he succeeded in concealing it or not, it would attract Giant Axe's further attention.
Concealing the failure might expose information about his Origin Clone. The attraction of a fragmented Universe Origin to the Universe Supreme Master far surpasses that of a Strongest Supreme Treasure. Strongest Supreme Treasure are merely external objects; while they can enhance their strength, they cannot help them break through to higher realms.
However, if the Universe Supreme Master discovers the existence of a fragmented Universe Origin, it is entirely possible that they could use this to seek a breakthrough to the next realm.
The Original Ancestor wanted to seize the origin of the Primal Universe because his strength had reached a bottleneck, but he could hardly find a way to break through to the True God level in the Universe Ocean, so he set his sights on the Universe Origin.
Within the Minor Universe Origin of the Giant Axe, the two sat facing each other. The Giant Axe axe sat cross-legged in the void, watching the power of life and death constantly surging from Zhang Junbao's body.
This power passed through the coffin and was transmitted to the Undying Venerable being sealed inside.
"All I can do is demonstrate the secrets of ' The Withering and Flourishing of Wood ' to the Undying Venerable so he can comprehend them. As for how much he can understand, that's up to him," Zhang Junbao said slowly.
"Very good. For the Undying Venerable, this is both a calamity and a blessing. His Undying Secret Technique is not perfect. If he can take advantage of this opportunity to collapse his will and rebuild it, and comprehend the origin of life and death, his strength will surely reach a new level."
"You've already done a great job to get this far."
"Ever since the Original Ancestor was suppressed by the Universe Origin, the Human Race has relied on these powerful beings for support. Although I am the Universe Supreme Master, I alone cannot withstand the attacks of the Alien Race."
" The Zerg, the Machine Race, and the Demon Race all possess the Universe Supreme Master, with the Demon Race even having two. Other top-tier forces in the universe, such as the Starry Sky Beast Alliance and the Ancestral God Sect, also possess combat power at the level of the Universe Supreme Master."
The long-term development of the Human Race in the Original Universe owes much to any powerful individual.
"I'm not saying this to put any pressure on you, but to tell you that as Human Race, we are born with the responsibility to protect our people; it's something we're born with."
" The Human Race is vast, and perhaps sometimes we leaders may overlook some details, but it is not intentional. I hope you can understand."
Zhang Junbao looked up at the Giant Axe. He knew that the leader of the Human Race was explaining to him what Zhang Junbao had experienced before.
As the highest leader of his race, he didn't need to do this, but Giant Axe also knew that Zhang Junbao had been dissatisfied with the higher-ups of the Human Race ever since the struggle for control of Earth began.
This betting battle is a manifestation of the conflict between the two sides.
The Giant Axe wouldn't stop the wager; everyone involved was a powerful figure. Perhaps the Giant Axe's authority would deter them from their disputes, but once the seeds of conflict were sown, how easily could they be eradicated?
This is a hidden danger. It may not matter in normal times, but once a major war breaks out, the impact of this hidden danger will be magnified infinitely.
When Zhang Junbao encountered difficulties, he deliberately delayed the rescue and even pretended to be deaf and dumb. Even if he was discovered later, what could the higher-ups of the tribe do?
That's why Giant Axe allowed the betting war to continue. Since the two sides had a conflict from the beginning, the most direct solution was to have a fight, with the winner taking all.
From an individual perspective, it may seem extremely cruel, even Giant Axe. But from the perspective of the tribe, the Giant Axe's actions are in the best interests of the tribe.
Even if the future of Human Race is decided by the Supreme Council, the powerful will always have a greater say.
Whether it was the traditional Venerable who suppressed the rise of Zhang Junbao, this emerging genius, to maintain their dignity, or whether Zhang Junbao rose to power and broke the tyranny of the previous generation of strongmen in one fell swoop, it was a development for the clan.
Even the Giant Axe and the Chaos City Lord would support the victorious side in gaining more power within their race.
After all, the Human Race will eventually have to fight against other races in the universe, and the first requirement for a leader of a race is absolute military strength.
Only when you completely defeat and frighten the Alien Race will they be willing to sit down and negotiate terms with you.
This was a test for Zhang Junbao by Giant Axe and the others, not only to assess his combat strength, but also to test his vision and strategic thinking.
Because if Giant Axe and others silently betray their tribe or harbor resentment, how could Giant Axe's people dare to entrust the future of their tribe to such powerful individuals?
Zhang Junbao sighed and said, "I understand the test from the higher-ups of the clan. Any genius who wants to gain more power in the clan must go through such a test."
I'm not interested in the power of any particular group. Ultimately, the world's final power lies in military might. Rather than engaging in pointless battles, we should be exploring the mysteries of the Universe Origin; that's what we should be doing."
"You see things very clearly. It's just that some ancient Universe Venerable and Universe Country Lord within your race haven't broken through in their Law Comprehension for countless epochs. Not everyone has unlimited potential. When that potential is exhausted, they will want more power to maintain their dignity."
"They fought for their community their entire lives, and this is what their community should give them in return."
"I also wanted to immerse myself in comprehending the Origin of Laws without any worries, but from the day the Original Ancestor was suppressed, I knew that the responsibility of protecting the Human Race had fallen on my shoulders."
"I am the strongest. If I hide away and focus on comprehending the Law, no one can do anything to me. But what about the rest of the clan? We are born as one race. No matter how many conflicts we have, they are still my people." The Giant Axe said with unwavering determination in its eyes.
"Cosmic resources are limited. If the Human Race wants to develop, it will inevitably clash with Alien Race. Alien Race will also try to exterminate our Human Race and seize more resources. This is the instinct of all life."
Our clansmen are too weak; only I can step forward. Our Original Ancestor sheltered us from the storm in the first place, and now that Original Ancestor has been suppressed, only we can protect this clan.
" Chaos's aptitude is even superior to mine, only his cultivation time is shorter. For so many years, he has been unable to break through to become the Universe Supreme Master, not because he lacks talent, but because he always has a deep attachment to his race."
"Perhaps it's too early to tell you all this, Zhang Junbao, but your growth rate has exceeded both my and Chaos's expectations. I hope that your current experiences won't make you abandon your responsibility to protect your people."
Zhang Junbao finally understood that what the Giant Axe had said was simply to let him know that the ultimate goal of all the strong was to protect their people.
Even if other Universe Venerable seize resources and question him, once Alien Race invade, they will be the first to rush forward, fight to the death against the Alien Race, and protect humanity.
This is a responsibility, a responsibility that all strong human beings are born to shoulder.
"I understand. As long as the Human Race does not let me down, I will not let down my identity as a human." Zhang Junbao nodded. The responsibility entrusted to him by the Giant Axe was too heavy, so heavy that Zhang Junbao was even hesitant to accept it directly.
But with those words, Giant Axe knew that Zhang Junbao still identified with the Human Race.
Zhang Junbao continued to continuously expound the fundamental mysteries of life and Destruction to the Undying Venerable.
Giant Axe Miniature Universe 100,000 Years
After a long while, the Giant Axe suddenly opened its eyes and stared at the coffin that sealed the Undying Venerable.
Zhang Junbao was equally focused; he could sense that the Undying Venerable within the coffin seemed to have undergone a slight change.
His will, which had been almost completely exhausted, was being rekindled little by little, and a powerful will, carrying a vast life force, was emanating from the coffin.
" Undying, and things have taken a turn for the better?"
"That's right, the Undying Venerable has already grasped the secrets of ' The Withering and Flourishing of Wood.' He was originally a powerful being of the Wood-Space Law. Once he comprehends the essence of life and Destruction, he should be able to re-condense his will and achieve true Undying."
The aura of the Undying Venerable grew stronger and stronger, even possessing the momentum to break through the coffin.
"Hahaha, the aura of life and Destruction, this is a special primal understanding that transcends the basic Law. Not only have you comprehended it yourself, but you can even guide others to comprehend it!" Giant Axe's face lit up with joy, not only because the Undying Venerable was gradually recovering, but also because he had discovered Zhang Junbao's enormous treasure trove.
Ordinary powerful individuals comprehend Law Ten Great Laws, but this does not mean that there are no other special Law existing in this Original Universe.
In fact, some special Law exist in the Original Universe in the form of Innate Secret Technique. Just like the Golden Horned Beast's Innate Secret Technique ' Clone ', it does not belong to any of the Ten Great Laws, but it is Law secret technique that truly exists.
These special Law are extremely rare, but they all share one characteristic: their power is immense.
If Zhang Junbao was able to guide the Undying Venerable to comprehend a secret technique containing the aura of life and Destruction, then can other powerful individuals also comprehend it?
Wouldn't this mean that humanity has mastered a special Law or secret technique that transcends basic Law, giving human powerhouses a huge advantage when facing Alien Race?
"I've never sensed this Destruction aura before, not even in the Universe Ocean. It seems to conceal immense power, but right now this aura is too weak to display its true power."
A glint flashed in the Giant Axe's eyes. If he could master this power, the might he could unleash could even kill the Universe Supreme Master.
"This is something I comprehended from a secret technique I received during my time on the Outer Domain Battlefield. It requires an extremely deep understanding of the Law of Wood and Time Law to master."
Although the Undying Venerable followed the path of wood and space, his understanding of the Time Law was also quite profound, which is why he was fortunate enough to comprehend this secret technique.
"The fusion of the Law of Wood and the Time Law?" The Giant Axe frowned slightly. In the general understanding of the universe, the Law of Wood is Lower Laws to the Space Law and cannot be fused with the Time Law. But according to Zhang Junbao, this seems to be a possibility.
"In fact, I believe that the Ten Great Laws can be integrated with each other. The Space Law and the Time Law are not absolutely opposed. When I broke through to the Immortal God and my will roamed the Universe Origin, I sensed not just the Ten Great Laws, but a Chaos Qi."
Giant Axe was somewhat surprised. Every powerful individual, upon breaking through to a higher realm, is guided by the Universe Origin Will, which then travels through the sea of Universe Origin Law. However, most powerful individuals can only sense the Law Ocean they primarily cultivate, because each Law Ocean is mutually exclusive.
"Your understanding of the Universe Origin seems to differ from that of ordinary powerful individuals," the Giant Axe asked.
" The True Meaning of Taiji that I cultivate emphasizes the balance of the Ten Great Laws. Therefore, my understanding of each Law is very close. When I broke through to the level of Immortal God, my Eight Great Fundamental Laws also reached perfection at the same time."
"Perhaps that's the difference," Zhang Junbao explained.
"Cultivating the Ten Great Laws simultaneously has such benefits. It's just a pity that this method requires extremely high talent. So far, I've only seen the Original Ancestor possess such talent, and you are the second."
"Fortunately, you are all strong members of my Human Race."
As they talked, the aura of the Undying Venerable grew stronger and stronger.
"I can sense that the Undying Venerable's understanding of the Origin of Life and Destruction is increasing at an alarming rate."
"That's right, his aura has surpassed what it was before, and his strength will likely increase further."
"Could it be that he can reach the level of Universe Master?" Zhang Junbao asked in surprise.
"He hasn't reached the Universe Master yet, but becoming Top Universe Overlord shouldn't be a problem." Giant Axe looked at Zhang Junbao with a smile on his face.
"My Miniature Universe cannot give birth to Universe Master, but it can still help him become Top Universe Overlord."
As they spoke, Zhang Junbao felt the aura emanating from the Giant Axe. This time, he truly experienced just how terrifying the Giant Axe, as the Universe Supreme Master, was.
Of Universe Supreme Master he had ever seen, the Sitting Mountain Guest had never displayed his true power; only the Zerg Queen and the Giant Axe had shown him the terrifying power of the strongest beings.
"The aura of the Giant Axe far surpasses that of the Zerg Queen!" This was Zhang Junbao's most direct feeling.
As the master of this Miniature Universe, the Giant Axe can grant immense assistance to the powerful beings within it. Around the coffin enveloping the Undying Venerable, spacetime began to distort, and the flow of time accelerated.
"This is Time Acceleration, the exclusive ability of Miniature Universe!"
To accelerate a spacetime event and provide insights and assistance to the strong, the price to pay varies depending on the strength of the strong individuals.
After all, it's impossible to reverse the flow of time around a Top Universe Overlord and an Immortal God at the same rate. Otherwise, wouldn't the Giant Axe be able to create a large number of super-powerful beings by pulling a group of Universe Overlord, or even Universe Master, into its own Miniature Universe for Time Acceleration?
Accelerating time for the Undying Venerable alone would be a piece of cake for the Giant Axe.
boom
After an unknown amount of time, the coffin containing the Undying Venerable suddenly shattered, and a foot emerged from it.
The Undying Venerable suddenly rose from his coffin, his eyes seeming to see through the twists and turns of life and death. A powerful aura surged from his body, far surpassing what he had experienced before.
Terrifying pressure waves materialized into physical air currents, constantly pounding against the surrounding void.
"This is the aura of Top Universe Overlord! It's indeed not far from being Universe Master!" Zhang Junbao exclaimed, looking at the Top Universe Overlord he had created himself.
The Undying Venerable was unaware of what had happened and was about to ask someone for clarification.
But when he saw the Giant Axe and Zhang Junbao, he was immediately startled.
He was recklessly unleashing his oppressive aura in front of the Giant Axe Creator; wasn't he courting death?
" The Undying pays homage to the Giant Axe Founder!" The Undying Venerable instantly knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to the Giant Axe.
"Thank you, Giant Axe Founder, for giving me a new life!"
"Very good, our race has gained another Top Universe Overlord. However, you should thank Zhang Junbao, not me. Without his help, you would probably have perished completely."
