Chaos City, the quiet room of Prince Yanyue's residence.

After accepting the Demonic Sound Fire God Bell, Lin Yuan did not immediately take his leave. Instead, after a moment's hesitation, he solemnly said, "Master, I have another request."

Venerable Yan Yue raised an eyebrow slightly: "Speak freely."

"This disciple wishes to request an opportunity for my elder brother, Lin Lei, that can help him break through to immortality," Lin Yuan said earnestly. "This disciple knows that such treasures are extremely precious, and only a Universe Venerable is qualified to obtain them. It is only because Master has broken through that this disciple dares to ask."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Yan Yue's eyes flashed with a hint of realization.

Her disciple is not yet six million years old, but he is already a King-level expert and has almost completed most of her cultivation journey.

Back then, she was nearly ten million years old before reaching the limit of becoming a king, and then she was stuck at that level for millions of years.

If her teacher, Venerable Yan Cang, had not bestowed upon her a precious suit of armor before she went to the Primordial Star, she would not have been able to truly achieve the status of an invincible king.

When she was the Realm Lord, she incurred a huge debt to possess a special life form, but after she paid it off, her teacher bestowed upon her treasures again. Now that it's her turn, she can't be stingy.

Venerable Yan Yue thought for a moment: "I only took Lin Yuan under my wing when he was conferred the title of Marquis. Apart from the complete set of Yan Yue secret techniques and that spear, I didn't spend much resources on him. The treasure I gave him earlier was only to thank him for reminding me, so it can't be considered a reward."

"You are quite sentimental." She sighed softly, "Wanting to have family by your side forever is only natural, and I agree to that."

With a wave of her hand, a screen of light unfolded in front of Lin Yuan, displaying information that was clearly an internal exchange list accessible only to Universe Venerables, something he hadn't been able to find before.

At this point, a category specifically designed to assist in breaking through to immortality was selected.

"See for yourself," Venerable Yan Yue gestured. "These kinds of treasures are also divided into different levels."

One type is for use by realm lords who have gained recognition from the fundamental laws; the other is for use by ordinary realm lords. Their effects and prices are vastly different.

Lin Yuan focused his gaze, and the information on the light screen was clear:

"Star Dew (General Type): Applicable to Realm Lords who have obtained recognition from any of the Eight Lower-Level Primal Laws, and can increase the success rate of breakthrough by about 20%."

Price: 0.15 Treasure Points.

"Empty Wood Fruit: Suitable for realm lords who mainly cultivate the fundamental law of wood but have not been recognized by the law, it can increase the success rate of breakthrough by about 30%."

Price: 0.4 Treasure Points.

"Blazing Marrow: Suitable for realm lords who mainly cultivate the fundamental law of fire but have not been recognized by the law, it can increase the success rate of breakthrough by about 30%."

Price: 0.4 Treasure Points.

……

"Azure Cloud Fruit (General Type): Suitable for Realm Lords who have obtained recognition of any of the Eight Lower-Level Primal Laws, and can increase the success rate of breakthrough by about 65%."

Price: 0.65 Treasure Points.

……

"The Demonic Sound Fire God Bell I gave you before was quite valuable, so I won't be paying for it again," Venerable Flame Moon teased Lin Yuan as he carefully examined the treasure.

"Of course, if you don't have enough valuable points, I can help you pay for it first, but you have to pay back the money."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Master. However, I have already collected the remains of nearly a hundred King-level experts in the Burial Fire Basin. Obtaining what I want should not be a problem."

His gaze swept across the list, finally settling on the most expensive item: "Teacher, I would like a Biyun Fruit."

"Azure Cloud Fruit?" A hint of surprise flashed across Venerable Yan Yue's eyes. She remembered Lin Yuan's background information very clearly.

"Your elder brother Lin Lei is the current emperor of the Glorious Universe Kingdom's Golden Collar Empire, right? I remember that he is only at the eighth level of the Realm Lord, with only about two million years left to live, and it is still a long way from obtaining the recognition of the Wood Origin Law."

The Azure Cloud Fruit is excellent, but it only works on realm lords who have gained the approval of the laws. Wouldn't it be a waste for him to use it now?

"How about we switch to the Voidwood Fruit? Although its success rate for breakthroughs is slightly lower, we can use it to improve your brother's understanding of the laws first, and then use the Azure Cloud Fruit to try and break through to immortality. That would be a safer approach."

Lin Yuan shook his head, his tone resolute: "Teacher, rest assured, the fundamental laws acknowledge that I have my own way of solving this, there is no need to purchase any more Empty Wood Fruits."

He paused, then continued, "That 0.4 Treasure Points is almost equivalent to a quarter of an ordinary Treasure Weapon, so there's really no need to waste it."

Seeing Lin Yuan's insistence, Venerable Yan Yue stopped trying to persuade him. Her disciple clearly possessed other opportunities, and since he was unwilling to explain, there was no need for her to pry.

"Alright, since you're confident, then so be it." Venerable Yan Yue nodded. "Azure Cloud Fruit, 0.65 Treasure Points, confirm exchange."

During a break in her actions, she turned to me and said, "Send me your list of spoils, and I'll help you calculate the value points."

Lin Yuan sent the prepared list of spoils through the virtual universe as instructed.

Venerable Yan Yue quickly scanned the data and nodded slightly: "Hmm, the total value is approximately 2.7 Treasure Points. After deducting the Azure Cloud Fruit, the remaining Treasure Points will be deposited into your account."

"Alright, here you go." With that, a bright green fruit appeared out of thin air.

Items worth sending across countless distances using the Divine Kingdom Teleportation are valued using Treasure Points, and the Azure Cloud Fruit is clearly among them.

"Thank you, teacher!" Lin Yuan carefully put away the Biyun Fruit and bowed respectfully.

"Go on, the path of cultivation is long. Family is both a bond and a motivation, but do not let it make you complacent." Venerable Yan Yue waved his hand.

"This disciple will remember the teacher's teachings." Lin Yuan bowed again, and his figure disappeared from the quiet room.

……

Deep within the Imperial Palace of the Golden Empire, on the Golden Star.

Lin Yuan appeared in the study where Emperor Lin Lei was handling state affairs. Facing his brother, who was showing surprise and delight, he went straight to the point: "Brother, hand over the throne."

Lin Lei was taken aback, his smile freezing on his face: "Brother Yuan, what do you mean? Has something happened to the family? Or is it the Empire...?"

He felt a pang of unease. His younger brother, now a powerful immortal god, had suddenly returned and demanded he abdicate the throne; he couldn't help but think the worst. (Like science fiction? Come and read more!)

"It has nothing to do with the family, and everything is fine in the empire." Lin Yuan interrupted his brother's speculation, took out the abundant fruit he had prepared beforehand, and said, "Eat it, and then focus on your cultivation."

"You will definitely gain the recognition of the fundamental law of wood within ten thousand years. After that, I will give you a supreme treasure that can help you break through to immortality."

Linley looked at the strange fruit, sensing the faint fluctuations of laws within it, and asked with surprise and doubt, "Brother Yuan, what is this? Resigning from the throne is a matter of great importance, and the empire is currently expanding its territory, so there are many matters that require my attention."

"Imperial expansion or achieving immortality as a god, which do you choose?" Lin Yuan's gaze was profound: "Mundane affairs will only hinder your cultivation. This is your only chance to break through to immortality. Focus on comprehending the laws, and leave the rest to me."

After saying that, he turned around and took a step out, his figure disappearing into the study.

Looking at the spot where his brother had disappeared, Lin Lei held the fruit in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

Thinking that his younger brother was now an immortal god, even more powerful than their ancestor Lin Meng, whose vision and methods were far beyond his own reach, and thinking of his own stagnant cultivation and dwindling lifespan...

He took a deep breath and nodded emphatically, as if making a decision: "Okay, brother, I'll listen to you! I'll arrange the succession right away."

The news of Lin Lei's resignation from the throne quickly spread throughout the imperial court, naturally causing a stir among the imperial patriarch, Lin Meng.

He soon went to Lin Yuan's manor on Golden Star in person.

"Xiao Yuan," Patriarch Lin Meng said with a hint of probing, "Lin Lei suddenly resigned from the throne. Is there something wrong with the family's actions? Or do you have some other ideas? We can all sit down and discuss it properly."

The change of emperor is a major event, especially since Lin Lei is Lin Yuan's elder brother, so Lin Meng has to be cautious.

Lin Yuan asked Lin Meng to sit down and calmly explained, "Ancestor, you are overthinking it. I had him resign from the throne so that he could focus on his cultivation without any distractions. I have already obtained an opportunity from my teacher that can help him break through to immortality."

"Venerable Yan Yue?" Ancestor Lin Meng's eyes lit up instantly, and his voice rose several decibels. He naturally knew the significance of this newly promoted Universe Venerable.

"You...you mean it? There's hope for Linley to break through to immortality?"

"Of course it's true." Lin Yuan nodded in confirmation.

"I cannot disclose the specifics, but it does increase the success rate of breaking through to immortality. However, it requires my brother to first gain the recognition of the Wood Origin Law, so he must put aside worldly affairs and focus on cultivation."

"So that's how it is! This is truly wonderful news!" The worry on Ancestor Lin Meng's face was replaced by ecstatic joy, and he could hardly stop smiling.

He was incredibly grateful that he had gritted his teeth and lent Lin Yuan over two thousand Hunyuan units back then; it was truly the most successful investment of his long life!

Not only did he himself break through to the level of high-level military lord thanks to the resources and channels provided by Lin Yuan, but the two middle-level universe empires next to him were also incorporated into Ruijin Territory under his indirect influence, and the empire's territory expanded more than three times.

Now, Lin Yuan has brought the family hope of breaking through to immortality!

"Ancestor," Lin Yuan continued, "This opportunity is rare. My brother's seclusion is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It is estimated that he will need at least 50,000 years to prepare diligently."

When you return, you might as well select some promising talents, and include the five disciples with the highest comprehension of the laws among those I taught before. Fifty thousand years later, I will send my brother and them together to the initial universe to comprehend the laws.

"Four spots should be enough for you, right?"

Ancestor Lin Meng nodded repeatedly: "That's enough, Xiao Yuan has considered everything so thoroughly. I'll go back and carefully select the best options."

"Ten people! Sending ten people into the initial universe in one go, that's no small expense!" He rubbed his hands excitedly. "Surely one of us will succeed? If a few immortal gods emerge from that, the empire will become even stronger."

Seeing the patriarch's ecstatic expression, Lin Yuan felt a pang of emotion.

When he obtained the opportunity to comprehend the universe, he was not a core member of the five major powers. He was just an outer member of the Virtual Universe Company. As a result, the time he could spend comprehending the universe was greatly reduced, from the standard 3000 years for core members to only 300 years.

As for the remaining nine people, they can only be judged according to the standards for external personnel—an initial comprehension period of 300 years.

If they can pass the tests of the five major powers within 300 years and become core members, then after this enlightenment period ends, they will need to work for their respective powers for a period of time before they can continue to use the remaining time.

If you fail the test, you'll only have this one chance in 300 years.

"I understand!" Patriarch Lin Meng nodded repeatedly, as if he could already see the bright future of the family. "Don't worry, Xiao Yuan, I will definitely pick the most promising talents and never waste the precious spot you fought for."

He stood up to take his leave, then remembered something else, "Oh right, Lin Lei has abdicated, and the new emperor is being considered..."

"Let the Ancestor decide; I won't interfere." Lin Yuan waved his hand, showing no interest in imperial affairs.

"Good, good!" Patriarch Lin Meng bid farewell with a smile, his steps becoming much lighter.

Watching the patriarch's ecstatic departure, Lin Yuan's gaze remained calm.

He thought to himself, "The Abundant Fruit can greatly enhance Linley's affinity with wood. Combined with the development characteristics of Devil Fruits, it should be no problem for him to reach the recognition of the fundamental law of wood within ten thousand years."

Fifty thousand years is enough time for him to adjust to his peak condition. Combined with the 65% increase in probability from the Azure Cloud Fruit, as long as he's not completely useless, his chances of success are extremely high.

As for the ten initial universe slots, it was just a piece of cake for him, but it could greatly enhance the family's foundation and repay the kindness of Ancestor Lin Meng back then.

"After this matter is over, no worldly affairs will be able to hold my heart back, and I can devote more energy to cultivation."
