In the Original Universe, within a stretch of starry sky.
Three streams of consciousness pierced through the endless starry sky, descending into this space, subtly revealing three majestic figures.
One was exquisitely beautiful, a faint graceful figure surrounded by endless light. Just gazing upon her figure was enough to mesmerize a Universe Venerable.
Another was a gigantic oval black spherical phantom, suspended in another spot.
The last figure was surrounded by millions of faint snake shadows, a huge silver-white snake head looking around, the surrounding starry sky completely twisted into a vortex.
"Shock Demon Ancestor isn't here?"
The faint graceful figure spoke, her enchanting voice instantly reaching the ears of the other two. Her voice in this space-time transcended the speed of light, "Your Demon race sought us out, yet he himself didn't come."
"It's the same with Dream Demon Ancestor here."
The gigantic black sphere emitted a voice, "Dream Demon Ancestor, is the reason you sought us out this time regarding the Human Venerable Void River?"
"That's right, this time I sought you out precisely for the Human Venerable Void River."
The silver-white snake head spoke, "I imagine you also don't wish to see him continue to grow?"
"Everyone's thoughts are the same."
The gigantic black sphere spoke, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have agreed to end this Great Battle early."
"That little fellow's growth speed is too fast, and he possesses the ability of a talent Clone, with a massive Divine Body for his Clone."
The faint graceful figure said coldly with an enchanting voice, "If we let him continue like this, the Human Race will gain another powerful existence, posing an even greater threat than Top-tier Universe Overlords like Tian Shi Palace Master and Star Prison Demon Lord!"
"Dream Demon Ancestor, although that little fellow's current strength is not yet that of a Top-tier Universe Overlord, with the massive Divine Body of his Clone, the only way to kill him is for a Universe Master to act."
The gigantic black sphere said, "Considering he has the ability of a talent Clone, it's best to have a Universe Master skilled in the Soul Law act, directly controlling and killing him with Soul!"
"That is natural."
The silver-white snake head nodded slightly, then turned to look at the graceful figure and said, "Empress, this time, Banff Master of your Zerg Alliance will act. Among the Universe Masters of our three races, Banff Master's Soul attainment is the most formidable."
"Alright."
The faint graceful figure pondered for a moment, then agreed with an endlessly enchanting voice, "But to have Banff Master act, the three races each need to provide one Top-tier Arcana Treasure armor."
The gigantic black sphere agreed, "One Top-tier Arcana Treasure armor, no problem."
"My Demon race also agrees, but..."
The silver-white snake head changed the subject, "When will Banff Master act?"
"That little fellow has long resided in the Primal Secret Realm of the Human Virtual Universe Company. That place is one of the Human Race's most core areas, and Banff Master cannot risk going there."
The faint graceful figure replied, "Now, less than a thousand epochs remain until Original Star opens. That little fellow possesses Universe Overlord strength, and when Original Star opens, he will certainly go to explore and acquire treasures. That will be the most suitable time to act."
"Too slow..."
The gigantic black sphere said in a deep voice, "With that little fellow's growth speed, he might have already become a Universe Master by then!"
"Mechanical, that little fellow Cultivates the Beast God Path. Although the Human Race has produced so many Universe Masters, not a single one follows the Beast God Path."
The faint graceful figure replied, "There's no need to worry about that."
"Hmm..."
The gigantic black sphere pondered for a moment, "Since that's the case, then let's wait until Original Star opens."
"Remember to send the Top-tier Arcana Treasure." The faint graceful figure reminded.
"Don't worry, it's just one Top-tier Arcana Treasure armor."
...
Within the Thousand Treasure River region of the Primal Secret Realm, inside a rather magnificent and grand palace.
Ender sat on the throne at the end of the palace, with a light screen in front of him displaying text in the universal language of the Universe.
"For killing three Universe Overlords and multiple Universe Venerables during The Great Battle, the Race has granted a reward of 4 Arcana Treasure Points..."
He murmured softly to himself, "That means killing one Universe Overlord yields roughly 1 Arcana Treasure Point in reward, as for ordinary Universe Venerables, their rewards can be ignored."
A Universe Overlord typically possesses at least two Arcana Treasures, plus other treasures, totaling at least 3 Arcana Treasure Points.
However, considering that the spoils of war go to the individual, and the Arcana Treasure Points rewarded by the Race are purely extra income, it's still a considerable sum.
Due to Ender's special existence, although The Great Battle in the Extraterritorial Battlefield was short-lived, many Universe Overlords fell.
Just from the Human faction alone, six Universe Overlords were killed!
Four of them fell in the battle where Ender displayed his strength, and the remaining two fell into the hands of Universe Overlords from the Human faction during subsequent skirmishes.
"this Great Battle in the Extraterritorial Battlefield was a bit short, otherwise the Race could have earned more resources."
Ender silently thought, "Overall, the Race gained a lot of resources from this Great Battle, worth at least three or four hundred Arcana Treasure Points. After deducting some consumption, it can probably Cultivate dozens of Pinnacle stage King-level Immortal."
Cultivating Geniuses requires a large consumption of resources, and cultivation does not guarantee success. A considerable number of Geniuses fall midway, so cultivating Geniuses requires long-term, large-scale investment of resources.
Furthermore, the Race needs resources in many aspects, and one of the largest consumers of resources is the military System of the Extraterritorial Battlefield, where countless members of the Human Alliance and alien soldiers exchange vast amounts of resources after earning military merits.
"Although I am now a Universe Overlord-level powerhouse, I have contributed relatively little to the Race. Ultimately, the time I've been a powerhouse is too short."
Ender knew that many ancient Universe Venerables in the Race had made immense contributions. Even if they were stubborn now, no one could deny their contributions.
"The Great Battle in the Extraterritorial Battlefield lasted for a short time, and although I fought against multiple Universe Overlords from the three races, I didn't gain many insights."
Thinking of this, Ender frowned slightly, "It seems the three races had a prior agreement, first sending a large number of Universe Venerables to the Seventh Battlefield to provoke The Great Battle, and then ending it within a relatively short period..."
"It's better to Cultivate in seclusion early. I hope to Breakthrough and become a Universe Venerable with these insights."
After speaking, Ender closed his eyes and calmly comprehended the insights he gained from fighting in the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
...
Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, over nine thousand years had passed.
Venerable Ling Tu, who had been in seclusion recovering his Immortal Energy since the battle to destroy the Qi Mu Alliance, opened his eyes from the throne in his palace.
"After nearly ten thousand years of secluded slumber, my Immortal Energy has recovered to 97%. Without fighting, I can recover to a perfect state before Original Star opens."
His consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe, "Let's see what has happened in these nearly ten thousand years..."
"Hmm?! Junior Brother has become a Universe Overlord?! And a Universe Overlord with a massive Divine Body Clone?!"
Venerable Ling Tu's expression was first astonished, then gradually turned to shock, "He even killed three Universe Overlords! He is very likely to become a Top-tier Universe Overlord in the future!"
"This..."
Venerable Ling Tu's face was still filled with shock. His Junior Brother's strength had grown too fast, far surpassing his own!
"I was still thinking of inviting Junior Brother to join my team when Original Star opens."
He shook his head helplessly, "I didn't expect that his strength is now no less than Senior Brother's."
Original Star contains an unimaginable number of treasures. Even walking on the roads of Original Star, one might be stepping on a Heavy Treasure.
But precisely because there are so many treasures, every time Original Star opens, it will be a bloody storm!
In Original Star, the probability of Universe Venerables of equal standing forming teams and falling is extremely high, and the probability of Advanced Venerables forming teams and falling is also not small.
Only Universe Overlords can barely act alone, but once an Arcana Treasure appears, Universe Overlords still have to team up.
However, Universe Overlords like Venerable You Hou are different. Although not Top-tier Universe Overlords, they are very close, and their strength far exceeds that of ordinary Universe Overlords.
Coupled with possessing a flying palace Arcana Treasure, even if they encounter a Top-tier Universe Overlord, they are fine. Therefore, powerhouses like Venerable You Hou can act alone.
"Junior Brother's strength is no less than Senior Brother's, it seems I need to ask Junior Brother for an Immortal Energy token..." Venerable Ling Tu felt quite emotional. When Junior Brother first became a disciple under their teacher, he was responsible for guiding his Cultivation.
But now, less than a hundred thousand years have passed, and he has to ask Junior Brother for an Immortal Energy token so that he can request his assistance in times of crisis.
It can only be said that the changes were too fast, even Venerable Ling Tu found it difficult to accept for a while.
"I wonder if Junior Brother has Brokenthrough..."
Venerable Ling Tu pondered, "Soon, it will be the Virtual Universe Company's turn to host the Pinnacle Genius Battle. I wonder if Junior Brother is willing to preside over this Genius Battle."
"Hmm?"
Speaking of this, Venerable Ling Tu's eyes lit up, and he immediately said with anticipation, "I must persuade Junior Brother. I wonder what expression those old fellows will have when they learn of this!"
If an ordinary Universe Venerable were to preside over the Pinnacle Genius Battle, those old-brand Universe Venerables in the Core Region of the Virtual Universe Company might give instructions from a high and mighty stance.
But when the one presiding over the Genius Battle changes to Ender, this newly rising Universe Overlord of the Human Race, a future Top-tier Universe Overlord, the situation completely reverses!
Even if the Universe Venerables in the Core Region of the Virtual Universe Company are very ancient, facing Ender, these ancient Universe Venerables can only assist!
"Lets go see Junior Brother!"
Venerable Ling Tu looked excited. Through his consciousness, he connected to the Virtual Universe and applied to visit Ender's palace.
...
On the summit of the Thunder Island Central Mountains, inside the main palace of a palace complex.
Since The Great Battle in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, when he used a portion of the Immortal Energy from the Gu Yu Ancient Tree Branch to self-detonate and kill three Universe Overlords, Ender's palace had been moved to the summit.
Only the strongest among the Universe Overlords in the Virtual Universe Company, and great existences like Universe Masters, were qualified to build their palaces here on the summit of this Central Mountain Range.
And for Ender to be able to move his palace here, it signified that his status within the Virtual Universe Company was second only to a Universe Master!
"Still just that little bit short..."
After nearly ten thousand years of secluded Cultivation, Ender had already digested the insights gained during The Great Battle in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, but he still hadn't fully comprehended the complete Space Law.
The complete Space Law was clearly so close, seemingly within reach, yet he couldn't comprehend it no matter what, always just that little bit short!
"Seventh Senior Brother has come out of seclusion. Is there something urgent he needs to see me about?"
Ender received the transfer request from his Seventh Senior Brother Venerable Ling Tu and was a little surprised.
Swish!
When Ender approved the request, Venerable Ling Tu, clad in gray battle attire, appeared in the main hall with a flash of white light.
"Seventh Senior Brother, please sit."
Ender waved his hand lightly, and a throne of equal height appeared behind Venerable Ling Tu.
"Junior Brother."
Venerable Ling Tu sat down and smiled, "Congratulations on becoming a Universe Overlord. You are destined to be the Human Race's fourth Top-tier Universe Overlord, and becoming a Universe Master is within reach."
Ender smiled, "Seventh Senior Brother, you flatter me."
"Junior Brother, you should have Breakthrough to become a Universe Venerable, right?"
Venerable Ling Tu asked curiously, "Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill three Universe Overlords."
"It seems I can Breakthrough at any time, but I'm always just a little bit short."
Ender didn't hide anything, because Seventh Senior Brother knew he was Immortal before.
"Is that so..."
A hint of surprise flashed in Venerable Ling Tu's eyes, and he asked, "Junior Brother, have you been in seclusion, trying to integrate the Space Law into one?"
"That's right." Ender nodded slightly.
"Let me offer a suggestion."
Venerable Ling Tu said solemnly, "Junior Brother, perhaps you should take a break. Constant Cultivation and comprehension may not necessarily be a good thing!"
"A break..."
Ender seemed to be deep in thought.
"In a few decades, the Virtual Universe Company will host the Pinnacle Genius Battle. Why don't you preside over this Genius Battle?"
Venerable Ling Tu suggested, "Go and see those little fellows compete to join the Core Region of the Virtual Universe Company."
"The host for this Genius Battle hasn't been decided yet?"
Ender asked, "By my calculation, the host should have been determined by now."
"Heh heh, even if it's decided, what does it matter?"
Venerable Ling Tu smiled, "With your status and position, Junior Brother, as long as you speak, those old fellows will naturally sort it out for you."
"Alright, anyway, it's a recent event. Presiding over the Pinnacle Genius Battle is also good."
Ender nodded slightly, "Just consider it a change of pace."
"Junior Brother, leave this matter to me!"
Venerable Ling Tu volunteered, excitedly saying, "I'll go talk to those old fellows!"
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Ender's thoughts shifted slightly, and he couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Seventh Senior Brother."
"Don't worry, I won't mess things up."
Venerable Ling Tu left that sentence and then disappeared in a flash of white light.
"Those ancient Universe Venerables, some of the things they do are indeed excessive."
Ender looked at the empty throne opposite him and murmured softly, "Having Seventh Senior Brother go warn them is also good."
...
Virtual Universe, Special Space.
A group of ancient Universe Venerables sat at a long table, each with a slightly gloomy expression.
Opposite them, Venerable Ling Tu, with smooth, hairless skin, smiled back.
"How is it, old..."
Venerable Ling Tu quickly stopped the disrespectful address that had just escaped his lips, and instead said, "Everyone, have you made up your minds?"
"Ling Tu, are you sure this is Venerable Void River's intention?"
An ancient Universe Venerable spoke in a deep voice, "And not you, acting on your own initiative?"
"Heh."
Venerable Ling Tu said disdainfully, "Do you think I would joke about something like this and give you leverage?"
"You!" Another ancient Universe Venerable glared.
"Alright, since it's Venerable Void River's intention, we naturally have no objections."
Suddenly, a Universe Venerable spoke, "This Pinnacle Genius Battle will be presided over by Venerable Void River, then..."
"Why didn't you just agree earlier!"
Seeing the ancient Universe Venerables agree, Venerable Ling Tu stood up and interrupted, "Next, I'll trouble you all to assist Venerable Void River in presiding over the Genius Battle."
After speaking, Venerable Ling Tu left the ancient Universe Venerables with displeased expressions and teleported away...
