Lord of the Rending Stars

The human realm, in the starry sky of the initial continent.

The ancient god's deep voice rang out as he looked at Qingyang, "Disciple, come with me. There are some things I need to tell you privately."

"Yes, Master." Qingyang composed himself and nodded in response.

The Ancient God Venerable strode forward, the surrounding starry sky reversed, and the extremely complex spatial restrictions at the edge of the continent automatically parted to create a passage, like gentle flowing water. Qingyang hurriedly followed, only to feel a streak of light flash before his eyes, and in an instant, he had traversed an immeasurable distance, appearing before the enormous city in the center of the continent.

The Chaos Venerable also looked at King Jiuyu and Bingfeng, and said in a calm tone, "Junior brothers, you will come with me to pay your respects to our teacher, the Primordial Ancestor. Our teacher wants to personally understand the situation of this trip to the Chaos Sea Eye. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can also ask our teacher at the same time."

Upon hearing the words "Primordial Ancestor," both King Jiuyu and Bingfeng trembled, their eyes gleaming with surprise. It's important to understand that Jiuyu and Bingfeng were currently only at the King-level Immortal stage, and after being accepted as disciples by the Primordial Ancestor, they had only met him a handful of times.

The Primordial Ancestor is one of the oldest universe masters in the human race. His strength is unfathomable. As a top-tier fifth-order universe master, he is the true pillar of stability for the human race and a great being who intimidates billions of races.

Looking at their delighted expressions, the Chaos Venerable said calmly, "There's no need to be surprised. Your performance in the Kunwu Secret Realm has already proven your talent. Reaching the threshold of the Universe Venerable means that becoming a Universe Venerable is no longer an insurmountable barrier for you. Your talent has attracted the attention of the highest levels of the clan, and clan resources will be tilted towards you."

"Come with me."

Having said that, the Chaos Venerable flicked his sleeve, and a gentle force naturally enveloped King Jiuyu and Bingfeng. The space where the three of them were located rippled slightly, as if an ink painting was being blurred by water droplets, and then their figures merged into the space and disappeared.

Inside a grand hall in the core area of ​​the human holy city, a space deep within the hall was carved out independently, seemingly existing in a chaotic space of another dimension. Here, there were no continental foundations, no magnificent buildings, only slowly flowing chaotic energy. At the center of this energy flow, a strange, bluish-gray chaotic rock, no more than ten feet in diameter, with a smooth, mirror-like surface, floated silently.

On the chaotic, strange rock, sat a young man dressed in a simple white robe, his face serene. His eyes were slightly closed, and his aura blended perfectly with the surrounding chaotic energy, as if he were a part of this chaos, existing since time immemorial.

At this moment, he was not suppressed by the primordial cosmic will as in the original story, but instead, as a free being, he stood guard over the human race's territory, awe-inspiring all races!

The Chaos Venerable, accompanied by the Nine Universe Kings and Ice Peak, stood respectfully amidst the chaotic energy, approximately a hundred meters away from the strange chaotic rock. This distance seemed nonexistent before the Primordial Ancestor, yet also as if separated by endless dimensions of space and time.

"Master, your disciple has brought Jiuyu and Bingfeng with him." The Chaos Venerable bowed slightly, his voice clearly echoing in this chaotic space, filled with heartfelt reverence.

The two stood with their heads bowed, their breathing instinctively adjusted to the faintest possible frequency. The Primordial Ancestor on the Chaotic Rock slowly opened his eyes. They were eyes that seemed to contain the birth and death of endless galaxies, the opening and destruction of space and time. His gaze was gentle and peaceful, without the slightest hint of coercion, but when he looked at King Jiuyu and Bingfeng, the two felt as if they were being caressed by a warm and vast power.

"Good." The Primordial Ancestor spoke, his voice not loud, but it was like the first wisp of Dao sound at the beginning of chaos, resounding directly to the source of the soul. "In the journey to the Chaos Sea Eye, the two of you have all been of the highest caliber in terms of opportunity, temperament, and perseverance. Being able to touch the laws and comprehend the threshold of the Universe Venerable, and perfect the Immortal Secret Technique to its ultimate level, is the reward for your own efforts and also a blessing for our human race."

King Jiuyu took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and respectfully said, "Master, your disciple Jiuyu has perfected the immortal technique 'Nine Universes Return to One' to its ultimate level during the 'Demon Suppression City Trial' in the Chaos Sea Eye. My swordsmanship has also been perfected, and my understanding of the laws has been further improved. I am also fortunate to have obtained precious materials such as the Eternal Sword Bone."

He reported his core findings concisely and clearly, while releasing a wisp of pure sword energy imbued with the essence of laws as proof.

Bingfeng bowed and said, "Disciple Bingfeng perfected his immortal technique, 'Nine Transformations of the Frost Abyss,' to its ultimate form during the 'Demon Suppression City Trial' in the Chaos Sea Eye. He also made breakthroughs in his understanding of the laws and obtained items such as the Eternal Ice Core."

A faint yet seemingly timeless chill naturally emanated from him, and the outline of his domain began to emerge.

The Primordial Ancestor's gaze lingered on the two for a moment, then he nodded slightly: "Sword bones contain sharpness, ice cores conceal the abyss. Not bad. Inheritance and materials are all external things; the key is how to transform them into one's own and comprehend one's own path."

He turned his gaze to the Chaos Venerable, "Chaos, you were the last to arrive, so you were present. Do you have anything to add?"

The Chaos Venerable pondered for a moment and said, "Reporting to Master, the opening of the Chaos Sea Eye this time is unprecedented in both scale and danger. Fortunately, the rules of the Kunwu Secret Realm do not allow Universe Venerables to enter, otherwise it would have been even more tragic."

"Qingyang of the Nine Realms Ice Peak was able to obtain the core inheritance in the battles with the Zerg Queen and the Mechanical King of the Killing Spirit. His combat strength, temperament and talent are all remarkable."

"When we were leaving, the alien cosmic overlords 'Illusion Dream' and 'Myriad Machines' descended. Fortunately, Jiu Yu and the other two contacted me in advance, and the Ancient God Venerable also descended, which allowed the palace's treasure, the Demon Suppressing City, to be safely brought back to the human race."

The Primordial Ancestor listened quietly, his gaze returning to King Jiuyu and Bingfeng, a gaze that seemed to penetrate everything.

"Good! The three of you know how to cooperate and understand the situation. Sometimes these two things are more important than trying to fight it out on your own."

The Primordial Ancestor slowly said, "The Qingyang that Chaos mentioned is still at the Realm Lord stage, right? A Realm Lord can rival an invincible King. His talent is truly astonishing. Chaos, you should pay more attention to him. Perhaps soon our human race will have another Universe Lord."

"Teacher is absolutely right. Qingyang and the other two are all under my watchful eye," Chaos Venerable nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the Primordial Ancestor gave the two a simple reminder, which led the two invincible kings into a deep state of enlightenment. This is the Primordial Ancestor. Not only is his cultivation talent monstrous, but his guidance to his disciples is also profound yet simple, pointing directly to their true nature!

Turning his gaze to the Chaos Venerable, the Primordial Ancestor reminded him, "Chaos, the simultaneous appearance of 'Illusion Dream' and 'Myriad Machines' indicates that the Insect Race and the Machine Race are increasingly wary of our newly emerging, promising geniuses. Especially since they suffered a great loss this time, they will not let it go easily. The human race may face targeted assassinations from other races."

The Chaos Venerable said solemnly, "Please instruct me, Master."

"The Holy City's defenses will be relaxed on the outside but tightened on the inside, with alert levels raised by half a level at all key locations. Qingyang, Jiuyu, and Bingfeng will be placed on the list of super geniuses for monitoring. However, their normal battlefield training must not be interfered with," the Primordial Ancestor said calmly, yet with an undeniable determination.

"Disciple understands," the Chaos Venerable nodded in response.
