The Human Race's Supreme Council: Li Jing Has the Makings of a Universe Master
"Chaos, are you sure Li Jing doesn't have Special Life Clone?" The Lord Qingdong from the Giant Axe Arena questioned.
For a normal human being to traverse fifteen levels of the Universe Heavenly Bridge and seventeen islands of the Illusion Sea at the cosmic Universe Level is simply too extraordinary, making one wonder if he possesses Special Life Clone.
Special Lifeform are the darlings of the Will of the Original Universe, born with special privileges. Aside from their rarity, their life levels are...
Their talent and potential far surpass those of ordinary races.
Let alone those at the Universe Level who possess the will and Law Comprehension to the level of Marquis or Immortal Level, there are also Special Lifeform that are born as Universe Master; the eight innate beast gods are the best examples.
Faced with the Lord Qingdong's doubts, the Chaos City Lord gently shook his head. "From my observation, Li Jing does not have Special Life Clone, at least not at present. All his achievements are due to his own efforts."
Before Li Jing arrived in Chaos City, the Lord of Chaos City Lord was unaware of how the Ganwu Country Lord had taught him or how he himself had grown.
All he knew was that Li Jing had only comprehended the Universe Chaos Stele once, and then observed the operation of the exposed Universe Origin Law on the rooftop of his residence in Chaos City, supplemented by the strongest auxiliary secret technique of the Universe Chaos Stele in the Virtual Universe - Universe Analysis.
Relying solely on his own comprehension and talent, he single-handedly elevated the Time Origin Law from complete ignorance to a level comparable to Marquis Immortal.
There was no external assistance involved; both the body and soul were those of a genuine human being.
Aside from that insignificant unknown Domain Lord Level bloodline compared to the talent he displayed, he had nothing else special about him.
That is precisely why it is so precious.
Without any extraordinary opportunities or special avatars, he has reached this point solely through his own efforts. His future is limitless, and there is a considerable possibility that he will eventually reach the level of Universe Master like him.
A potential future ruler of the universe is worthy of a special Supreme Council convened by the clan's leadership.
Upon hearing the Chaos City Lord's affirmative reply, all the Universe Master present were slightly moved.
To achieve this without having Special Life Clone is truly extraordinary.
Some Universe Master even secretly speculated that Li Jing might have received some extraordinary opportunities during his growth. However, none of the people present had the thought to investigate further.
This is because Li Jing at this moment has already demonstrated the potential to reach their level. Faced with a peerless genius who may become a pillar of the clan in the future, any attempt to investigate in a presumptuous manner would be foolish.
It's utterly worthless to let a genius who has the potential to support the future of the race harbor resentment towards the higher-ups just to satisfy a tiny bit of curiosity.
Even if Li Jing's strength is currently low and he cannot detect the secret surveillance, how could he not notice it when he reaches their level in the future?
The best approach is not to delve too deeply into it, but rather to nurture it with care, simply confirming that its heart is with Human Race and that it is willing to fight for Human Race.
In this way, if they keep the kindness of their clan in mind, they will truly belong to their clan when they become top experts, rather than becoming lone travelers.
Of course, these Universe Masters are not always so easy to talk to; the key is that Li Jing has shown the potential to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
If it were an ordinary genius, someone would probably have already suggested Reverse Time and Space to trace their growth trajectory and uncover all the secrets.
This is ultimately a dog-eat-dog world, and only the strong, or geniuses who demonstrate the potential to be strong, can earn true respect.
"Alright, Chaos, we are aware of Li Jing's matter."
As the voice of the Giant Axe Founder faded, the sole Universe Strongest among the Human Race set the tone, "Li Jing's strength is currently weak, and given his lineage from the Virtual Universe Company, his initial training and guidance will be handled by your Virtual Universe Company."
"Once he reaches the Immortal or advances to the Venerable Level, the clan will convene a meeting to formally invest resources in him in the name of the clan."
The busy Universe Master nodded and then logged off, leaving the Virtual Universe.
For them, although Li Jing showed potential to stand shoulder to shoulder, that potential would ultimately take a long time to realize.
This news is just a minor incident for now.
It will probably take thousands or tens of thousands of epochs before they hear the name Li Jing again, and before they see the truly grown Li Jing standing before them.

After the high-level meeting of the Human Race Universe Master concluded, the Chaos City Lord did not leave. Instead, he kept several Universe Masters from the Virtual Universe Company lineage behind for further discussion.
"We are all from the same lineage as my Virtual Universe Company, so please feel free to speak frankly about Li Jing's training plan."
The Virtual Universe Company is the only one among the five major Human Race powers capable of rivaling the Giant Axe Arena. It has five Universe Masters: the Lord of Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Ice Peak, the Lord Long Xing, and the Lord Youhou.
Lord Youhou was a direct disciple of the Lord of Darkness and rarely participated in internal decision-making. At this moment, he simply waved his hand casually, appearing to leave the decision to everyone else.
The other Universe Master, however, hesitated.
Given Li Jing's current talent, they all have the desire to take him on as a disciple. If they were to accept him as a disciple, they would all know how to train him.
If Li Jing had no prior teacher, or if his master was not the Ganwu Country Lord but some other ordinary Universe Venerable, they would have already sent out emails to accept him as a disciple.
Although the Ganwu Country Lord is not considered top-tier in strength, he is one of the oldest Universe Venerable among the Human Race, having risen to prominence around the same time as them.
Limited by his innate talent and potential, he was never able to bridge the gap between the Venerable One and the Universe Master.
Their forceful acceptance of apprentices at this moment is tantamount to stealing apprentices.
The crowd exchanged glances, none of them willing to speak first, their eyes all fixed on the Chaos City Lord, waiting for him to make a decision.
Seeing this, the Chaos City Lord slowly spoke, "You are all aware of Ganwu's situation. As a powerful figure of the same era, it is not advisable for Li Jing to switch allegiance to any of us."
"However, the strength of the Ganwu is ultimately limited, and he cannot provide Li Jing with sufficient guidance in areas such as Soul Will and illusion techniques."
"Junior Brother Darkness, what I mean is that Li Jing's cultivation of the Space-Time Origin Law will still follow Ganwu, while you will guide him in matters related to the soul, will, and illusions. He will not become a disciple, but will only serve as a mentor. What do you think?"
The Lord of Darkness frowned slightly.
Not becoming a disciple but only serving as a mentor would not be of much benefit to him; on the contrary, it would consume a lot of his energy and time.
However, Li Jing's talent was indeed extraordinary, and with the Chaos City Lord personally speaking, he had to give this senior brother some face.
After a moment of silence, the Lord of Darkness nodded slightly, his tone indifferent. "Since Senior Brother has spoken, I agree. However, my standards as a mentor are not low."
"Li Jing needs to cultivate my 'Eternal Night Soul Codex' to the third level, comparable to the King Level, within one era before he is qualified to receive my guidance once every ten eras."
The Chaos City Lord raised an eyebrow; the requirement was indeed stringent. However, since the Lord of Darkness had already agreed, and given Li Jing's talent, it wasn't impossible for him to complete the training within the time limit, he said no more.
"Alright, that's settled then. Everything else will proceed according to the company's standard talent development process."
"Without tempering and polishing, even the finest rough jade will struggle to become a great vessel."
