Purple Moon Holy Land, Progenitor Hall.
The Purple Moon Ancestor stood before the enormous water mirror, in which the image of the 138 Lava Demon God carrying the shattered Small Universe slowly moved.
He has replayed the video more than a dozen times, watching it more carefully each time, but he still can't find a reasonable explanation.
" Lava Demon God..." The Purple Moon Ancestor's eyes were filled with doubt, finding it utterly astonishing. "These things seem to have never left the Universe Boat. They seem to be bound to certain areas of the Universe Boat by some force, and even when chasing intruders, they would automatically return after a certain distance. But now, they have not only left the Universe Boat, but have also formed an array, actively transporting Small Universe back..."
Juehua True God stood aside, his expression equally solemn. " Progenitor, could it be that someone has taken control of the Universe Boat? That's why the Lava Demon God brought these broken Small Universe here, allowing the Universe Boat to repair itself. In recent years, the speed at which the Universe Boat absorbs Chaos energy and Small Universe has clearly increased countless times."
The changes to the Universe Boat did not happen overnight; they had been going on for a long time. As one of the Two Great Holy Lands in the Universe Ocean, the Purple Moon Holy Land, with hundreds of Universe Master adventuring in the Universe Ocean, naturally learned of this news immediately.
The Purple Moon Ancestor remained silent for a long time before finally shaking his head. "I'm not sure, but the conditions for Universe Boat to recognize a master must be extremely stringent. It would be almost impossible for ordinary True God, or even beings at my level, to recognize Universe Boat as their master."
He didn't continue speaking, Juehua True God could already sense the deep apprehension in the Progenitor's tone.
"Pass down the order," the Purple Moon Ancestor finally spoke. "From this day forward, all Universe Master of the Purple Moon Holy Land who are venturing into the Universe Boat must maintain a sufficiently large distance from those Lava Demon God. Do not probe, do not test, and especially do not touch those devoured Small Universe. If you encounter any being capable of commanding the Lava Demon God, maintain the utmost respect and refrain from any offense."
"Yes," Juehua True God replied respectfully, turning and leaving the main hall.
The Purple Moon Ancestor stood alone before the water mirror, muttering to himself, " The Universe Boat... that legendary ancient warship, has it truly found a new master? Or has its original master already awakened?"
... The East Emperor Holy Land, the Endless Divine Realm.
Ancestor Tree, the East Emperor Ancestor sat on a long bench woven from vines, a thoughtful expression on his face.
The Bei Zhen Star Lord stood aside, his face solemn as he awaited the Progenitor's judgment.
After all, what happened in the Universe Ocean before was too terrifying.
Hundreds of Lava Demon God are hundreds of the Universe Supreme Master.
This is an existence powerful enough to annihilate all forces in the Universe Ocean.
If the reason cannot be known, even the Holy Land Universe cannot be at ease.
After a while, the East Emperor Ancestor sighed softly.
"Does the Progenitor know what's going on?"
"The Bei Zhen Star Lord asked."
"One hundred and thirty-eight Lava Demon God, able to form such a neat formation, who else but the master of the Universe Boat could do that?"
The East Emperor Ancestor gazed at the vast starry sky beyond the Ancestor Tree. "Recently, the most active force within the Universe Boat should be the Human Race of the Third Reincarnation Era."
The Bei Zhen Star Lord's eyes flickered, and he said in surprise, "Does the Progenitor suspect that it is the Lord of Myriad Laws?"
"I'm not sure," the East Emperor Ancestor shook his head, "But anyone capable of recognizing a master on the Universe Boat must be an unparalleled being beyond my comprehension, someone our East Emperor and Purple Moon Two Great Holy Lands can't afford to provoke. Issue the order: all Universe Master from our Holy Lands venturing on the Universe Boat must stay away from those Lava Demon God."
"Yes," the Bei Zhen Star Lord replied solemnly.
Virtual Universe, the Mount of Gods plane.
The Chaos City Lord, the Dark True God, and the avatars of the Peng Gong True God gathered together, with a light screen floating in front of them like ripples of water, displaying the same scene.
"One hundred and thirty-eight Lava Demon God..." The Dark True God clicked his tongue, "That guy Qingshan, he really made such a commotion without making a sound."
Peng Gong True God also shook his head with a smile, "It seems that the Lord of Myriad Laws has truly gained complete control of the Universe Boat. He can even command these Lava Demon God. I wonder how powerful this Universe Boat will be once it is restored."
"That must be beyond imagination!"
A hint of envy flashed in the eyes of the Giant Axe Founder.
As the second True God besides the Original Ancestor, the Giant Axe Founder was well aware of how powerful the Universe Boat was. Moreover, he and the Chaos City Lord knew beforehand that Lu Qingshan could control the Lava Demon God, and even that the Qiu Yan Ancestral God had perished in his own Small Universe because of this.
Others might still be speculating, but only he and the Chaos City Lord knew that this must be the work of the Lord of Myriad Laws. The Chaos City Lord nodded and said, "This commotion is too great. All the forces in the Universe Ocean are probably speculating. Although Qingshan's strength is such that he is not afraid of any probing, we don't need to cause trouble for Qingshan. Our Human Race should just pretend we don't know anything. We shouldn't publicize the relationship between Qingshan and the Universe Boat, nor should we let other Universe Master investigate this matter..."
"Don't worry, Chaos, we won't talk nonsense." The Dark True God and Peng Gong True God nodded simultaneously.
After the news spread, many of the Universe Master of the Hongmeng Alliance were indeed secretly curious, and some wanted to inquire about the Lava Demon God. However, since the Human Race was the most powerful force in the Universe Ocean and obeyed orders without question, no one dared to disobey.
Stars and rivers flow, years pass and seasons change.
Since then, every few thousand years, a group of Lava Demon God would emerge from the Universe Boat, carrying a broken Small Universe of varying sizes, and slowly move towards the Universe Boat.
They marched in unison, silently, like a tireless funeral procession, repeating the same actions every so often.
At first, every time the Lava Demon God appeared, it caused a commotion.
Many powerful figures watched from afar, discussing the matter animatedly.
But over time, and as the frequency increased, people's reactions gradually became less intense.
After all, those Lava Demon God seem to only care about their work, and they won't be attacked unless provoked.
Therefore, when the Lava Demon God carried the Small Universe past in the distance, the Universe Master, who was exploring, did not run away. He simply watched from afar until the Lava Demon God disappeared with the Small Universe before continuing with his own business.
It was as common as seeing a funeral procession on the street.
Time flies, and tens of thousands of years are but a fleeting moment in the Universe Ocean.
The entrance to the Jin World once again shone with a pale white light, signifying the beginning of a new era.
The Universe Ocean, above the enormous corpse.
The Giant Axe Founder, the Dark True God, the Peng Gong True God... several figures emerged from it.
The Giant Axe Founder wore a Supreme Supreme Treasure Armor and held a black divine Divine Axe. The Dark True God was shrouded in a faint gray mist, his aura restrained. Peng Gong True God wore a brand-new silver-gray battle armor and looked expectant.
"Now that the Jin World has opened, the three of us will go and take a look first," said the Giant Axe Founder. He then looked at the Chaos City Lord: " Chaos, continue to work hard guarding the Primal Universe. After we come out, you can enter the Jin World to explore."
"No need to be polite. With me and the Lord of Myriad Laws here, everything will be fine."
The Chaos City Lord smiled slightly.
Last time, after Luo Feng said he possessed authority over the Jin World, several True God of the Human Race already wanted to enter the Jin World to explore.
However, going to the Jin World is an extremely risky undertaking.
Preparations have taken a long time. Now that a new era has begun, they finally intend to enter it.
Three True God entered, including the Giant Axe Founder; the Human Race had clearly placed a heavy bet.
"We've been waiting for the intelligence to be more complete, and now that the route map and precautions are almost finished, it's time to go in and take a look," the Dark True God said calmly.
Peng Gong True God smiled and said, "I hope we can find one or two decent Supreme Treasure this time."
At that very moment, the cosmic membrane of the Jin World had completely turned white.
The three figures simultaneously transformed into Flowing Light, flying towards the entrance to the Jin World, and soon disappeared into the wormhole.
The Core Land the Universe Boat.
Luo Feng's Shadow Demon Race Clone is traversing an area filled with Time-Space rifts.
He had originally planned to see the Giant Axe Founder off, but before that, he received a message from his teacher instructing him to go to a coordinate within the Inner Domain of Universe Boat.
Luo Feng dared not delay and set off immediately.
In the Jin World, he could control the power of the world's origin and easily annihilate Void True God. However, in the Universe Ocean, he was still merely Universe Master. Although he could easily unleash the power of Level 10 being by relying on Mechanical Flow Treasure, a second-tier divine body, and other means, his travel speed was not particularly fast, especially in the Core Land this Universe Boat. "We've arrived!"
As Luo Feng passed through this Time-Space rift, he looked up.
Ahead, they discovered a majestic bronze gate, light-years high, tightly closed, exuding an Elder Gu aura.
"Could the opportunity the teacher spoke of be located within this bronze gate?"
Luo Feng remembered that his teacher had said in the Jin World that he would be given a great opportunity.
At the Core Land the Universe Boat, the Elder Gu bronze gate seems like a stroke of luck.
"However, how should this door be opened?"
Luo Feng paused, wondering whether he should ask his teacher.
However, at this very moment...
"Buzzing!!"
The booming sound of the bronze gate opening rang out.
Two large doors slowly opened, revealing a long corridor. Luo Feng sensed the surroundings and, finding no apparent danger, and trusting his teacher, flew directly inside. At the end of the corridor was a spacious hall, in the center of which stood a blood-red figure with his hands behind his back.
Luo Feng stopped in his tracks, a look of surprise on his face.
" Demon Master Xue You??"
Luo Feng never expected that he would actually see the Demon Master Xue You of the Ancestral God Religion Sect here.
If we consider his status within the Ancestral God Religion, he would belong to the lineage of the Demon Master Xue You, who is also Universe Master.
However, he had not visited the Ancestral God Religion for a long time, and the Ancestral God Religion, fearing the strength of the Human Race and himself, had not assigned him any tasks.
However, the moment that figure turned around, its aura suddenly changed.
That was the divine power aura that Luo Feng knew all too well.
Luo Feng was even more surprised. His eyes widened, and he exclaimed incredulously, "Teacher!"
