Swallowing the Stars: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 136 It's Time to Lay the Tables

Time flies, and it seems like only yesterday that we arrived at 150,000 years later, when Li Che broke through to become a Universe Venerable and took on the role of the overall person in charge of the Great Axe Life-and-Death Battle across the entire universe.

For Li Che, the term of office as the chief person in charge of the Fifteenth Era's Great Axe Battle of Life and Death was quite boring.

Over this long period of time, there have been hundreds of billions of life-or-death battles fought across the 1008 universes of human territory. However, under the well-established rules of the human race, there has never been an event that required the attention of Li Che, the head of the Universal Judgment Bureau.

After all, the tens of millions of direct immortal gods in the giant axe arena in the universe are not to be trifled with. Unless the situation completely spirals out of control, they would not dare to disturb the exalted cosmic venerable.

Li Che was happy to have some free time. His human body was now the most relaxed of all his clones, spending most of his time wandering in the human territory of the primitive universe. While witnessing the characteristics of various races, he also sent two seemingly decent Domain Lord-level Giant Axe Warriors into the core layer of the Giant Axe Arena.

Unfortunately, these two are only at the level of the third core secret realm of the Martial Arts Arena, similar to the core members of the Virtual Universe Company's Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

Compared to these, Li Che himself made much greater progress in his cultivation during the fifteenth era.

After all, in that special space-time of the Giant Axe Secret Realm, Li Che had cultivated for 15 epochs, which allowed him to greatly improve his secret techniques and other aspects, even though he had not fully mastered the laws of space.

Now, his self-created secret technique "Primordial Light" has reached the level of a peak secret technique of the Lord of the Universe.

And that innate secret technique, "Return to the Void," which absorbed the advantages of many high-level secret techniques from the Jin world, has now become the ultimate secret technique of the true master of the universe!

In this year, Li Che's human form, riding the treasured Guixu Fortress, descended into a very famous cosmic secret realm within the human territory.

The medium-sized cosmic secret realm "Longhai" has its entrance located in a huge void outside the 1008th universe of human territory. It has stable G-grade and F-grade mineral resources and a large number of native creatures.

At the same time, this secret realm of the universe is also the private territory of Li Che's senior brother - the Lord of the Giant Axe Arena, Longhai.

Due to the unusually active fundamental laws of water in this place, the structure of this cosmic secret realm is a super-giant water sphere with a maximum diameter of more than 1.7 million light-years, which is the so-called Longhai.

The Liuhai Lake has nurtured a large number of indigenous species, and occasionally even some special life forms.

"Senior brother, this secret realm is truly remarkable."

Li Che teleported through this vast cosmic secret realm and soon found his senior brother, the Lord of the Longhai, in the deepest part of the Longhai Sea, in a huge "bubble" that was 0.5 light-years in diameter.

This cosmic secret realm, though its spacetime volume is far less vast than that of a cosmic kingdom, is still large enough. It has a stable output of high-level mineral resources and many native creatures that regard the Sea Lord as a god, making it very habitable in all aspects.

Within these cosmic mysteries, there are several areas that nurture special life forms. Although most of these are relatively ordinary special life forms with less than fifty times the genetic diversity, they are still very precious resources within humanity.

Furthermore, such cosmic secret realms can occasionally give birth to a few precious treasures, which can generate considerable value for the owner of the secret realm.

Overall, the value of such a cosmic secret realm within the human race is extremely high.

"Hahaha! This is a secret cosmic realm that I personally conquered back then. Humanity's territory hasn't expanded for many years now, so finding a place like this isn't easy!"

Lord Liuhai sat on a majestic throne formed from countless layers of emerald green waves. With a casual wave of his hand, more than a dozen graceful, mermaid-like indigenous immortal deities immediately offered him and Li Che fine wine and delicacies.

Li Che nodded.

When his senior brother rose to prominence, the Primordial Ancestor was still at his peak, a period of barbaric expansion of human territory, during which many rich cosmic secret realms were conquered.

More importantly, as a disciple of the Lord of False Gold and a powerful cosmic overlord, Lord of the Longhai Sea is capable of protecting his legacy.

"I heard from the teacher that my junior brother went to cultivate in the region of the Giant Axe Universe with a time flow rate ten thousand times faster?"

This human cosmic overlord exuded a peaceful aura, inviting Li Che to sample the delicacies and wines of his cosmic secret realm while casually asking him questions.

He had long known that Li Che possessed the innate secret technique of creating clones. Although he was unclear about the specifics of those clones, he understood the many benefits they brought.

"Yes, senior brother, I have been cultivating in that special spacetime for 15 epochs so far," Li Che said with a smile.

"How was the harvest?" Lord Luhai leaned forward, his interest piqued.

He was very clear about his junior brother's aptitude. In just a few hundred thousand years, he had become a Universe Venerable, and at the very least, he had the potential to become a Universe Overlord.

Upon hearing this, Li Che remained silent, but he no longer concealed his aura, and the divine power of the Time Venerable slowly rippled out.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the sublime power belonging to the fundamental law of time surged like waves, causing the nearby mermaid-like immortal servants to tremble and prostrate themselves.

As a cosmic overlord who traverses the starry sky, the Lord of the Longhai Sea could not possibly be suppressed by this power of law, but his expression was one of extreme shock.

"The Time Master?"

He looked at Li Che with a somewhat incredulous expression, his voice low.

It should be noted that throughout the long years, Li Che's public identity has always been related to space, and he has almost never shown any talent in the laws of time.

"Senior brother, I was originally the Time Venerable, but due to special circumstances, our teachers always made me pretend to be the Space Venerable in the early days." Li Che's hand flashed with light, and the special treasure, the Divine Veil, was placed on him, making his aura disguised as that of the Space Venerable.

"So, back then, you became the Time Venerable before you were about to become the Space Venerable, was it because you had a time-related clone?" Lord Liuhai quickly figured out the key point.

Only a special life form in the direction of time can explain why Li Che became the Time Venerable.

"Yes," Li Che affirmed.

"Have your teachers allowed you to reveal your true power to the outside world now?" Lord Liuhai stared intently at Li Che.

Considering the various special characteristics that Li Che displayed during his immortal period, if Li Che became a cosmic venerable through the law of time, this means that when he first broke through, he already possessed a complete original law of time and a nearly complete original law of space.

This is absolutely the level of understanding of the laws that a cosmic overlord reached before breaking through to the level of a cosmic master!

"I've already told the teacher, and he means that as long as I have the ability to protect myself, I can show it."

Li Che grinned, his body radiating the light of laws. The secret patterns of the third level of the ordinary treasure armor, the Dark Light Armor, bloomed, and the black and gold light illuminated the palace of the Lord of Luhai. "The main reason I came here this time is because I am close to my senior brother, and it is easier for me to ask him for guidance on combat strength."

"Oh? Boy, do you think you have the ability to protect yourself now?" Lord of the Longhai Sea stood up from his throne, his surging power of laws surging, and a smile appeared on his face.

Only now did he understand why Li Che had come to find him.
