Before the Original Star opened.
In the Original Universe, Creation Secret Realm.
Inside a palace complex even more magnificent than a King Immortal's palace.
Boya, with long black hair and black pupils, sat on a carpet in a fiery red battle suit, a hint of worry on her face.
"Teacher once said that every Powerhouse in the Original Universe who can become a Universe Master has their own Heaven-Defying Opportunity; none of those who become Universe Master have a poor Opportunity."
Boya frowned slightly, "Teacher believes that my greatest Opportunity is the unexpected comprehension of the Beast God Heart, which makes my Cultivation of the Beast God Path twice as effective, making it easier to comprehend Fusion Law."
"At the same time, because I comprehended the Beast God Heart, I no longer have the biggest hurdle for Beast God Path Cultivators to Breakthrough and become a Universe Master!"
"Currently, I am only one step away from fully comprehending the Fire-Space Fusion Law, but I have made no further progress."
"To become a Universe Master on the Beast God Path, one needs to transform into a Beast God…"
Boya pondered, "What does it mean to transform into a Beast God?"
Comprehending Fusion Law and Cultivating the Beast God Path is different from comprehending Time-Space Law and following the Time-Space Path to become a Universe Master.
The latter only needs to fully comprehend two Higher Laws, and then they will naturally Breakthrough and become a Universe Master.
However, Cultivating the Beast God Path requires comprehending the Beast God Heart, and finally, one must transform into a Beast God!
The Beast God, who led countless Immortal Venerables onto the Beast God Path of Cultivating Fusion Law, also became a difficult hurdle for countless Universe Venerables to Breakthrough and become a Universe Master.
When Boya was only one step away from fully comprehending the Fire-Space Fusion Law, she initially thought she would Breakthrough and become a Universe Master very quickly, especially since she had comprehended the Beast God Heart.
As a result, she Cultivated in seclusion for over a hundred million years but was unable to Breakthrough.
Later, she asked her Teacher for guidance, but only received a simple phrase.
"Don't be affected, be yourself…"
Boya muttered to herself, "What does that mean?"
After an unknown amount of time.
Boya, who had been looking down, suddenly lifted her head, a look of sudden realization in her eyes.
"The Beast God is the Beast God, I am me, I am the Beast God, but not the Innate Beast God in the Beast God Heart…"
Upon realizing this, Boya felt herself take the final step, fully comprehending the Fire-Space Fusion Law.
Then she was teleported to her Divine Kingdom to complete the Divine Power infusion and transformation for her Breakthrough to Universe Master.
...
Virtual Universe, palace above Myriad Creations Island.
On the square in front of the palace, surrounded by Chaotic airflow, Ender and his Senior Brother, Phantom Blood Master, sat at an ancient stone table.
"Boya has broken through; our Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company lineage has given birth to another Universe Master," Ender said with a smile.
Ever since Boya unexpectedly comprehended the Beast God Heart, he knew that this Disciple of his would Breakthrough and become a Universe Master sooner or later.
However, he had to admit that the time it took Boya to become a Universe Master was somewhat unexpected.
He had originally thought that Boya would Breakthrough after the opening of the Original Star this time, but unexpectedly, she took the final step to becoming a Universe Master before the Original Star opened.
"Broken through, has she…"
Phantom Blood Master was slightly stunned at first upon hearing this, then nodded with a slight smile, "It's good that she broke through; our humanity has one more Universe Master, making us even stronger."
He had always thought highly of Boya, believing she had the potential to become a Universe Venerable.
However, due to Boya's comprehension of the Void-Rending Primal Chaos Tablet, she had early on comprehended a trace of Beast God Artistic Conception, making her very suitable for Cultivating the Beast God Path. He did not take her as a Disciple but instead recommended her to his Junior Brother, Ender.
Facts proved that his choice was not wrong; Boya was very suitable for Cultivating the Beast God Path, making rapid progress on the Beast God Path, and even unexpectedly comprehending the mysterious Beast God Heart.
Of course, Phantom Blood Master also knew that every Powerhouse who could become a Universe Master was extraordinary, and obtaining Heaven-Defying Opportunity was normal.
The Beast God Heart, perhaps, was Boya's Heaven-Defying Opportunity!
Not long after.
"Teacher, Senior Martial Uncle."
Boya suddenly walked out of the Chaotic airflow, smiling as she looked at the two seated at the stone table.
"You're here, sit."
Ender pointed to the empty throne beside him, "This is your throne, but its back is currently blank."
"Back?"
Boya was a little surprised, so she went to the back of the throne and saw that the back of her throne was indeed blank.
Then she looked at the backs of her Teacher's and Senior Martial Uncle's thrones, which had different reliefs on them.
Boya looked at the relief on the back of her Teacher's throne, which depicted her Teacher confronting a massive black beast and a Powerhouse with an illusory eye behind him.
As for the relief on the back of her Ancestor's throne, it depicted her Ancestor standing above the corpses of countless alien Powerhouses, symbolizing endless slaughter!
Boya sat down on her own throne and asked curiously, "Teacher, what do the reliefs on the back of the thrones represent?"
"Those reliefs represent the achievements of your Senior Martial Uncle and me," Ender replied with a smile.
"Achievements?"
Boya nodded slightly, deep in thought, upon hearing this.
She recalled that on the relief on the back of her Teacher's throne, there were two alien Powerhouses, who must have been Powerhouses standing at the Pinnacle of the Universe, otherwise they would not have been recorded as achievements.
"Boya, after you became a Universe Venerable, you Cultivated in seclusion for a long time, and even now that you are a Universe Master, you rarely move about in the Universe."
Phantom Blood Master slowly said, "What you need to do now is to first improve your own strength, so that you have the power to protect yourself in the Universe."
"Once your strength improves, you can venture into the Universe and achieve proud or memorable accomplishments, which can then be recorded on the relief on the back of your throne."
Boya nodded upon hearing this. After becoming a Universe Master, her authority was further enhanced, and she had a basic understanding of the strength of a Universe Master.
A Universe Master like her, who was a High-level Venerables before Breakthrough, was a newly advanced First-rank Universe Master, at the bottom among Universe Master.
Even the most ordinary Top-tier Universe Overlord could contend with a newly advanced Universe Master like her.
Newly advanced Universe Master like her generally did not operate in the Universe because the possibility of falling was too great.
Above them were Second-rank Universe Master, the most common type of Universe Master in the Universe, whose strength was barely enough to protect themselves in the Universe.
Therefore, she at least had to raise her strength to the level of a Second-rank Universe Master; only then could she handle most dangers in the Original Universe without relying on a high-level flying palace-type Arcana treasure.
"Boya, do you know the origin of our Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company?" Ender asked.
"Our Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company originated from the Virtual Universe Company," Boya said without hesitation. This information was not a secret within the race, so she was very clear about it.
"Both your Senior Martial Uncle and I are Disciples of Ice Summit Master of the Virtual Universe Company."
Ender continued, "If it were before, when you Breakthrough to become a Universe Master, you should have gone to the most core area of the Virtual Universe to witness the power of the Virtual Universe lineage.
"But now there's no need for that. Our Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company lineage has become independent; a gathering within our own ranks is sufficient when one becomes a Universe Master."
Boya listened silently, noting down the name of her Ancestor, Ice Summit Master.
Ender announced: "The news of you becoming a Universe Master has beem passed down to all the Powerhouses at the highest level of our humanity. From today onwards, you are the 22nd Universe Master of our humanity."
"22 Universe Master?"
Boya was a little surprised. According to the information she had, the number of human Universe Master was 17.
Only now did she realize that, besides her, humanity had 4 other Universe Master hidden in the dark, who would be an important secret force for humanity.
"That's right, 5 from Virtual Universe Company, 5 from Huge Axe Dojo, 3 from Universe Mercenary Alliance, 3 from Universe Star River Bank, 3 from Universe First Bank, and our Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company has 3 Universe Master."
Ender smiled and said, "Our humanity's six major Leviathan of Humanitys have a total of 22 Universe Master, as well as the Huge Axe Creator, who is True Gods.
"Let's go; the Huge Axe Creator has convened a high-level meeting. Our human Universe Master are still waiting; let's not keep them waiting too long."
With that, Ender was the first to stand up, followed by his Senior Brother, Phantom Blood Master, and Boya. The three transformed into white light and disappeared.
...
Virtual Universe, in front of the Huge Axe Godly Palace.
At the long stone table surrounded by Chaotic airflow, majestic figures sat on stone chairs, conversing in low voices.
"Void River Master's Disciple broke through to become a Universe Master so quickly."
"That little one comprehended the Beast God Heart; she no longer has the biggest hurdle to becoming a Universe Master, so becoming a Universe Master was only a matter of time."
"Although that's true, her speed in Breakthrough to Universe Master is still somewhat fast."
"Haha, which of us Universe Master doesn't have a Heaven-Defying Opportunity? Boya's ability to Breakthrough and become a Universe Master naturally also comes from a Heaven-Defying Opportunity, perhaps that's the reason for her fast Breakthrough."
"It's a good thing that little one became a Universe Master; our human strength has increased by another point, so a faster Breakthrough is nothing."
"I've seen that little one's data; her temperament isn't very good, somewhat maniacal."
"Which Powerhouse doesn't have a temper? It's just a small flaw in temperament; the race can tolerate such a small flaw."
"It's already good that a carefree little girl didn't collapse after such a huge shock. After Void River resurrected her family, her temperament recovered a lot, and now it's much better than when she was weak…"
While the Universe Master were conversing in low voices, Peng Gong Master smiled and said to Ice Summit Master, "Ice Summit, you not only taught two Universe Master Disciples, but even your Disciple's Disciple has become a Universe Master."
"Boya becoming a Universe Master has nothing to do with me; it's all thanks to Void River's good teaching," Ice Summit Master responded indifferently.
Peng Gong Master didn't pay much attention to this, as Ice Summit Master had always been like this.
Instead, he looked at Primal Chaos City Lord with interest and smiled, "Chaos, now among you three Senior and Junior Brothers, only your Disciple has not yet given birth to a Universe Master. You need to work harder."
"Becoming a Universe Master is not easy. The newly born human Universe Master, such as Star Prison, Phantom Blood, and You Hou, all became Universe Overlords countless years ago, accumulating incredibly profound foundations."
Primal Chaos City Lord smiled and shook his head upon hearing this, sighing, "Like Boya, although she comprehended the Beast God Heart long ago, and everyone knew she would inevitably become a Universe Master in the future, her rapid Breakthrough to Universe Master still exceeded everyone's expectations."
"Only Void River made a Breakthrough to Universe Master in one go, at an extremely fast speed, and it didn't surprise everyone too much."
Ultimately, Boya had not been a Universe Venerable for long, and she Cultivated the Beast God Path, which heavily relies on Innate talent, requiring comprehension of the Fire-Space Fusion Law, which is more profound than Higher Laws. Yet, her Breakthrough to Universe Master felt not much harder than becoming Immortal.
All the Universe Master nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"The Breakthrough of Law comprehension is inherently profound. Sometimes, countless years of accumulation cannot lead to a Breakthrough, but sometimes, a slight touch can achieve it."
Desolation Master suddenly spoke, "What surprises me is that after that young fellow became a Universe Venerable, she rarely ventured out, yet she succeeded in breaking through by continuously Cultivating."
As the saying goes, there is great terror and great enlightenment between life and death!
Countless True God venture out into the Universe, not only to acquire treasures for their race but also to gain insights for breaking through their Bottleneck.
Whether it's creating secret techniques or comprehending Laws, venturing into the Universe at the risk of life and death offers the possibility of breaking through a Bottleneck.
Generally speaking, many True God who can Break through to become Universe Venerable and Universe Master rely on the insights gained between life and death to seize that sliver of a chance for Breakthrough.
For example, the two Extraterritorial Battlefields in the Original Universe are not only battlefields for the four Pinnacle races and the Crystal Race and Prison Race, but also a place of life-and-death tempering for countless World Master and Immortal in the Original Universe!
Whoosh...
All the Universe Master stopped talking and, as if sensing something, looked towards the Chaotic airflow-surrounded area, then saw three figures emerge from the Chaotic airflow.
"Void River."
"Void River is here."
"Phantom Blood."
Seeing Ender, Phantom Blood Master, and Boya arrive, the human Universe Master greeted them one after another.
Ender first nodded in response to the Universe Master, then pointed to the two empty seats at the end of the long stone table and said, "Boya, your seat is next to your Senior Martial Uncle."
"Yes."
Boya nodded slightly and followed Phantom Blood Master to the long stone table.
After seeing her Senior Martial Uncle take his seat, she sat down in the empty seat next to him and began to observe the human Universe Master.
In her opinion, most of the human Universe Master looked hideous and ugly; only her teacher and a few other Universe Master met her aesthetic standards.
Among them, there was one Universe Master who conformed to the aesthetics of most humans but had a rather ordinary appearance, and he gave her a very different feeling from the other Universe Master.
He was quite similar to her and to her teacher.
"The feeling this Universe Master gives off..."
She couldn't help but take another look, then realized in her heart, "This one is most likely Star Prison Devil Lord, who became a Universe Master by Cultivating the Beast God Path of Light and Time."
"Teacher's position?"
Boya saw her teacher sit down in the empty seat to the right of the main seat.
Seeing this, she was slightly surprised. Her teacher's position was the same as that of the Primal Chaos City Lord, the one in power of the Hong Alliance.
"Your teacher is strong and has made immense contributions to the race, so he can sit beside Huge Axe Creator."
Phantom Blood Master transmitted his voice to explain, "Previously, that was the position of Void Gold Master, the one in power of the Huge Axe Dojo.
"As for the contributions your teacher has made, you will know shortly."
"Immense contributions..."
Boya nodded slightly upon hearing this, indicating her understanding.
...
As Boya observed the Universe Master, the Universe Master also looked at this newly promoted Universe Master.
Young, and of very low seniority.
This was the Universe Master' first impression.
"What a young fellow." Desolation Master smiled and spoke, his face rather ferocious.
Boya, having just learned of her teacher's high status, immediately frowned and retorted, "If I'm a young fellow, then what are you?"
"Haha!"
"That's too interesting."
"Desolation is embarrassed now."
The Universe Master burst into laughter upon hearing this, all quite happy to see Desolation Master put on the spot.
"You..."
Desolation Master was momentarily stunned by the question and was about to respond but then stopped.
Whoosh!
Huge Axe Creator, with his hair disheveled like a savage, suddenly appeared in the main seat, and the scene instantly fell silent.
"Huge Axe."
"Huge Axe Creator."
Then, the Universe Master called out one after another.
"This is our human races' True God, the Alliance Leader of the Hong Alliance..."
Boya heard the respectful titles from the Universe Master and knew that the newcomer was precisely the pillar of humanity—Huge Axe Creator!
Huge Axe Creator nodded to the Universe Master, then his gaze fell on Boya, and he smiled, "Boya, you are finally sitting with us."
"Huge Axe Creator." Boya responded respectfully.
"Haha, the last time we held a top-level meeting to welcome Star Prison Devil Lord, Void River said you had comprehended the Beast God Heart, and I was very much looking forward to you sitting here."
Huge Axe Creator smiled and said, "You broke through to become a Universe Master before the Original Star even opened, which was somewhat beyond my expectation."
"I also thought it would take a long time to take the final step, but the guidance my teacher gave me brought me enlightenment, which allowed me to take that final step." Boya replied respectfully.
The True God is a super expert capable of resurrecting Universe Overlords and is the absolute pillar of a Pinnacle race.
Boya had heard her teacher say that Huge Axe Creator had always selflessly dedicated himself to the race, and thus she deeply respected this selflessly devoted elder.
"Haha, Void River, your guidance is indeed remarkable, not to mention before."
Huge Axe Creator, upon hearing this, looked at Ender beside him and smiled, "Star Prison was able to comprehend the Beast God Heart and Break through to become a Universe Master because of your guidance, and now Boya is the same."
"One of them has deep accumulation, and the other is very suitable for the Beast God Path and has excellent Opportunity; it's normal for them to become Universe Master." Ender smiled.
"Star Prison Devil Lord also broke through due to teacher's guidance."
Boya, upon hearing this, couldn't help but be astonished, "Teacher is too amazing!"
"Boya, according to our human rules, every newly promoted Universe Master can receive an Arcana treasure equivalent to the value of a top-tier Arcana treasure weapon gifted by the race."
Huge Axe Creator smiled and asked, "Do you have any requirements for the type of Arcana treasure?"
"Preferably a high-level Domain-type Arcana treasure with fire and Space Law attributes."
Since Boya already had high-level Soul-type and flying palace-type Arcana treasures, she requested a more valuable high-level Domain-type Arcana treasure.
"Currently, in the Treasure Vault of the Race, there is only this one high-level Domain-type Arcana treasure with fire and Space Law attributes."
Huge Axe Creator summoned a light screen, which displayed information about an Arcana treasure, "If you are not satisfied with this Arcana treasure, you can ask your teacher to help refine it, and the race will pay your teacher 400 Arcana Treasure Points."
"Teacher refines it?"
Boya looked at Ender, her expression quite surprised.
A high-level Domain-type Arcana treasure, this was a valuable treasure. She had seen it in the Treasure Vault of the Race, and the most expensive one was worth over 700 Arcana Treasure Points.
"Don't be surprised."
Huge Axe Creator smiled and said, "Your teacher is our human's number one Artifact refining Master, his refining skill is unparalleled, capable of refining all types of top-tier Arcana treasures."
"All types of top-tier Arcana treasures!"
Boya's eyes widened slightly, feeling incredibly unbelievable.
Although she had just become a Universe Master, she still knew the significance of being able to refine all types of top-tier Arcana treasures. It meant that her teacher could refine...
Top-tier Domain-type, Soul-type, and Palace-type Arcana treasures that Universe Master would risk their lives to contend for!
"How is it, have you made up your mind?"
Huge Axe Creator asked, not minding Boya's loss of composure.
The other Universe Master had a knowing smile on their faces; they too had been as flustered as Boya when they first learned of this.
"I'd like to ask my teacher to help refine the Arcana treasure." Boya immediately replied upon hearing this.
an Arcana treasure refined with 400 Arcana Treasure Points would definitely be of superior quality compared to a finished Arcana treasure worth 400 Arcana Treasure Points.
"Void River, the race will pay you 400 Arcana Treasure Points. I'll trouble you with Boya's Arcana treasure." Huge Axe Creator said.
"No problem." Ender responded.
Boya was his Disciple, so he naturally wouldn't refuse to refine an Arcana treasure for her.
"In addition to receiving an Arcana treasure equivalent to the value of a top-tier Arcana treasure weapon, a newly promoted Universe Master of the race can also freely comprehend a Xeon Arcana treasure once." Huge Axe Creator added.
"Freely comprehend a Xeon Arcana treasure once?"
Boya felt a bit surprised upon hearing this, "I remember the race only has Xeon Arcana treasures on teacher, so is the one to be comprehended the one on teacher?"
"Void River has temporarily stored Six Xeon Arcana treasures in the Treasure Vault of the Race. One of them, a palace-type Arcana treasure, I carry long-term, so there are still five with Primal Chaos City Lord's Clone, who is stationed in the Beginning Universe."
Huge Axe Creator continued, "After the meeting, you can go to Primal Chaos City Lord to check the detailed information of the five Xeon Arcana treasures, as well as whether anyone is comprehending them, and then choose the Arcana treasure you wish to comprehend based on your needs.
"Of course, you can also save that one free comprehension Opportunity and use it when you need it in the future."
"Six Xeon Arcana treasures! Teacher actually temporarily stored Six Xeon Arcana treasures in the Treasure Vault of the Race. Doesn't this mean that teacher has more than one Xeon Arcana treasure on him!"
Boya was deeply shocked, "Could this be what Senior Martial Uncle said, that teacher made an immense contribution to the race? This contribution is indeed great!"
Arcana treasures are incredibly precious and extremely rare in the Original Universe; for a Pinnacle race, they are even the treasure that guards the race.
Yet, her teacher has six of these incredibly precious Xeon Arcana treasures temporarily stored in the Treasure Vault of the Race. If you count the unknown number of Arcana treasures on her teacher, the number of Xeon Arcana treasures owned by humanity would probably exceed an astonishing double digits!
"The race once obtained Ancient Inheritance, and there are some secret techniques to enhance strength in the Treasure Vault of the Race. You can go to the Treasure Vault of the Race to learn them; this is a benefit that all Universe Master of the race have."
Huge Axe Creator finished speaking and then asked, "Boya, have you decided on your title for the future?"
"Crimson Demon."
Although Boya was shocked by the succession of news, she quickly replied, "I still prefer my previous title."
The Universe Master heard this and had no objections; it was normal to continue using a previous title.
Youhou Master, Void River Master, Star Prison Devil Lord, etc., all continued to use their previous titles. If Phantom Blood Master's title hadn't conflicted, he probably would have used his previous title as well.
"From today onwards, Crimson Demon Master Boya will be our human's 22nd Universe Master, and will fight together for the development and growth of our human race."
Huge Axe Creator loudly proclaimed, "Welcome Crimson Demon Master."
"Welcome Crimson Demon Master."
The Universe Master responded in unison upon hearing this...
