A Genius's Special Treatment

At this moment, Venerable Guiyi, due to the information blockade imposed by the Chaos City Lord, was unaware that Li Jing had already passed through the Domain Lord Level Primal Heavenly Mountain and the corresponding 16th level of the Universe Heavenly Bridge.

But this only reflects Li Jing's current Law Comprehension of the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge and the spiritual will of the 17 islands in the Illusion Sea.

That was enough to shock him and leave him in awe.

Not to mention that Li Jing was also personally summoned by his teacher, the Chaos City Lord.

He knew all too well what the signal was being sent.

Clearly, in the eyes of the true Human Race elites, Li Jing's demonstrated potential already qualified him to challenge that level!

Although Li Jing is currently only at the Universe Level, he is far inferior to him, who can be called Universe Overlord.

However, given the potential and growth rate that Li Jing has shown, perhaps thousands or tens of thousands of epochs from now, he will have to look up to this little guy who is only at the Universe Level.

It seems I need to cultivate a better relationship with this little guy Li Jing and his teacher, the Ganwu Country Lord.

In the foreseeable future, Li Jing and his teacher, the Ganwu Country Lord, will see their status rise significantly within the Virtual Universe Company and even within the entire Human Race.

Although he was the second disciple of the Chaos City Lord and Universe Overlord, holding a lofty position, he still needed to cultivate his own inner circle.

Whether it's exploring secret realms or plundering treasures on Primal Star, having trustworthy and capable companions who can be entrusted with the next generation is invaluable.

Not only can security be improved, but the probability of obtaining treasures and even seizing opportunities also increases significantly when working together.

Following behind Venerable Guiyi towards the Chaos Ruins, Li Jing was unaware of the many thoughts flashing through Venerable Guiyi's mind.

She even considered cultivating a good relationship with him and the teacher of the Ganwu Country Lord.

He simply felt that the interior of the city lord's Inner Mansion was frighteningly large, far from what it appeared from the outside.

It's likely that there's more to it than meets the eye; the interior space has been magnified countless times.

"Li Jing, we've arrived. Your teacher is waiting for you inside. I won't go in; I'll see you off after you've seen him."

As a Universe Overlord, Venerable Guiyi didn't need to wait outside or personally see Li Jing off after showing him the route once.

But since we've decided to be on good terms, we can't overlook these small details.

It's okay to wait a bit; it won't take long anyway.

If this could help me forge a small but positive connection with Li Jing, it would be far more valuable than this little bit of time.

"Thank you, Venerable Guiyi!"

Li Jing bowed to Venerable Guiyi and stepped into the Chaos Ruins.

Entering the quiet courtyard inscribed with the three characters "Chaos Ruins," one finds a hidden world within.

What meets the eye is an endless gray-brown continent, the sky is a dark, Chaos color, without sun, moon, or stars, only the pervasive pressure of laws.

The ground was littered with the corpses of powerful beings from various races. Some were as large as planets, while others were only the size of an ordinary person. They had remained uncorrupted for hundreds of millions of years, and each corpse exuded a terrifying aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

The corpses that are qualified to appear here must have been incredibly powerful in life.

In the core area of the ruined continent stood a burly figure about three meters tall.

She wore ancient battle armor covered with dark red Law Secret Patterns, battle boots, a tail covered with scales hanging down from her battle skirt, two fiery red horns on her forehead, and strange patterns on her face.

He stood there quietly, his gaze like a calm starry sea, giving people a sense of gentleness, yet his body was full of a murderous and vast aura, forming a strange contradiction and unity.

"Li Jing, you've arrived."

The Chaos City Lord spoke first.

Li Jing quickly bowed and said, "I have come to pay my respects to the Chaos City Lord on my teacher's orders!"

"Hmm, Universe Level expert who conquered the Domain Lord Level Primal Heavenly Mountain, and then traversed 17 islands in the Illusion Sea, Li Jing, you're not bad, very good!"

"Among the opinions of our Human Race's high-ranking officials, there is a unanimous consensus that you have the potential to surpass your teacher Ganwu Country Lord, and it has been decided to adopt an extremely high-level training program for you!"

"But having potential doesn't guarantee success. There have been many brilliant minds who, for various reasons, failed to reach their full potential. You must guard against arrogance and complacency, and never become self-satisfied because of this. Do you understand?"

Because Li Jing was only at the Universe Level, the Chaos City Lord did not reveal that the Venerable Level was the Universe Master.

The text only briefly mentions Li Jing's potential by describing his achievements as surpassing those of the Ganwu Country Lord.

Li Jing nodded, his face serious, and said, "Li Jing will remember this and will never become arrogant because of it!"

It seems that, based on his current displayed talent, he is already considered by the higher-ups of the Human Race to have the potential to reach the level of Universe Master.

They have now undoubtedly become a key focus of attention for the community!

Both the level of protection and the level of training will far exceed that of before.

Even if Earth's secrets were exposed at this point, given his potential, the higher-ups of Human Race wouldn't dare go too far if he just spoke up, lest they offend this peerless genius who had the potential to become the Universe Master.

At most, they would carve out a small island or Void Domain on Earth to build a small breeding base, where a select group of elite humans could enhance the spiritual potential of their offspring.

If Li Jing had shown strong opposition, this step wouldn't have even happened.

An Earth where ordinary strong individuals emerge in large numbers, and a Universe Master can truly become the pillar of the race.

The Human Race's high command has its own judgment on which is more valuable and which is less.

Besides, as long as powerful figures like Li Jing and Luo Feng, who came from Earth, still acknowledge themselves as members of the Cosmic Human Race.

Aren't Earthling also part of the Cosmic Human Race?

Even with Earth's unique characteristics, it continues to provide value to Human Race, doesn't it?

Of course, Li Jing was also aware that if his potential did not reach the level of Universe Master, even if he had a chance to become Universe Venerable, he would not be able to achieve that.

After Earth's secrets were exposed, even with the added influence of the Ganwu Country Lord's teacher, he couldn't protect Earth. At most, he would only cede some less territory than Luo Feng in the original storyline.

Although the overall atmosphere among Cosmic Humans is positive and optimistic, the law of the jungle—survival of the fittest—still exists.

Li Jing had never forgotten that among the Cosmic Humans, there were many indigenous people.

The entire tribe was enslaved, never to rise again.

Li Jing had no idea what kind of entity was behind this slave trade.

But one day, his power will be so great that it will silence the entire Human Race, and even the entire Primal Universe, so that they will listen to him reason or explain physics.

His will will then be implemented from top to bottom.

Seeing Li Jing's serious expression, clearly indicating that he had taken the advice to heart, the Chaos City Lord nodded in satisfaction.

He then told Li Jing about the arrangement for the Lord of Darkness to be his mentor, as well as the tests the Lord of Darkness had set for him and the subsequent system of seeking his guidance.

Of course, the name of the Lord of Darkness was not mentioned directly; he was simply referred to as "a powerful being."

After all, the Lord of Darkness is a trump card that Human Race has been hiding.

Upon hearing this arrangement and the so-called test, Li Jing remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was filled with serious doubts.

Who is this great being who excels in the Soul Path and was personally introduced by the Chaos City Lord?

It's so hard to guess!

But is it a bit too absurd that one can only receive guidance once every ten epochs after passing a test?

It's only been a few decades since he activated the system's cheat code.

Tenth Era?

Now if you call me Li Jing, I won't argue with you!

Ten eras later, what should you call me?

Eternal True God?

Hey, this old guy isn't stupid! He's just narrow-minded and lacks vision!

He'll be the one giving pointers to Little Dark then.
