My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

The Destruction Dao Imperial Weapon lay quietly in Meng Chuan's palm, its blade as black as ink, with a dark red light flowing erratically along its edge.

Meng Chuan's divine sense, like fine silk threads, carefully probed into the blade, sensing the destructive laws contained within.

The law of force encompasses all things.

Destruction is also a form of force—the power to reduce all existence to nothingness is also part of the law of force.

He closed his eyes, immersing himself in the insights gained from the laws of destruction.

While he was immersed in cultivation, the entire universe was thrown into turmoil by the news that he had become a domain lord.

"That Primordial Immortal Venerable Meng Chuan actually killed Tu An, the former Lord of the Sangyu Star Region and the Breaking Army Immortal Venerable!"

"Tu An is Emperor Sangyu's spokesperson! If he kills Tu An, isn't he afraid of Emperor Sangyu's retribution upon his return?"

"Fear? If he were afraid, he wouldn't have killed anyone! I actually admire him; he dared to do what many powerful immortals wanted to do but didn't dare!"

"I admire him, but I think he's courting death. How can someone of the Emperor level be so easily offended?"

"That's not entirely true... Eight hundred years ago, the emperors all went into seclusion, and there hasn't been a sound since. Who knows when they'll return? Maybe they'll never come back?"

"What you say... makes some sense. If the emperors really can't return, then Meng Chuan's move was brilliant!"

……

Similar conversations are constantly taking place in the circles of monks throughout the universe.

Some people think Meng Chuan is courting death, some admire his courage, and some have begun to speculate—are the emperors really not coming back?

After all, eight hundred years have passed, and there has been no news of any great emperor returning.

If the emperors really can't come back, then Meng Chuan killing Tu An and seizing the position of domain lord would be a brilliant move!

Those powerful immortals who had initially scoffed at Meng Chuan's actions couldn't help but be tempted after hearing this speculation.

Yes... If the Great Emperors really can't come back, then can they also learn from Meng Chuan, challenge those Great Emperor representatives, and seize the position of Domain Lord?

This idea, like a seed, quietly took root and sprouted in the hearts of many immortals.

But in the end, no one dared to take action.

After all, speculation is just speculation.

What if the great emperors return someday?

When the time comes, whoever is the first to follow Meng Chuan's example will be the first to be purged.

"Let's wait and see..."

This is the common idea of ​​most immortals.

However, although they dared not emulate Meng Chuan, their admiration for him was genuine.

After all, daring to do what others dare not do is itself a kind of courage.

……

The Primordial Starfield, the Domain Lord's Mansion.

Meng Chuan opened his eyes and put away the Emperor Weapon of Destruction.

In a short period of time, he had already touched the threshold of the Law of Destruction.

Although there is still a long way to go before he fully understands it, at least he has found his direction.

Just then, his divine sense detected that a large number of auras were rapidly approaching from the starry sky outside the Domain Lord's Mansion.

Those auras varied in strength.

The weakest are at the late stage of Immortal Emperor, and the strongest are at the peak of Immortal Emperor.

A quick glance reveals at least several hundred entries.

"Um?"

Meng Chuan raised an eyebrow and extended his divine sense outward.

He quickly understood what was going on.

According to the rules set by the Great Dao of the Universe, when a super star domain changes its domain lord, all powerhouses above the late-stage Immortal Emperor level in the original star domain's central area must come to pay their respects to the new domain lord.

That's the rule!

Anyone who doesn't come is disrespecting the Domain Lord and the will of the Great Dao of the Universe, and will be punished by the latter!

Of course, you can also choose to leave the central area of ​​this super star field to avoid the purge.

However, as long as you want to stay in the central area, and as long as you have a cultivation level of at least the late stage of Immortal Emperor, you must come and pay your respects.

Meng Chuan stood up, straightened his robes, and then took a step forward, appearing in the void outside the Domain Lord's Mansion.

In the starry sky, a large group of people stood in the darkness.

There were elderly people with white hair, middle-aged people with vigorous spirits, and monks who looked young.

Their auras were all different, but each of them was at least a late-stage Immortal Emperor.

Upon seeing Meng Chuan appear, everyone bowed respectfully, their voices loud and clear:

"Greetings, Domain Lord!"

The sound echoed through the starry sky, carrying reverence and awe.

Meng Chuan's gaze swept over everyone, and he nodded, "Thank you all for your kindness."

His tone was flat, revealing neither joy nor anger.

But his gaze swept across the crowd, taking in the expressions of everyone present.

Most people are respectful and cautious.

After all, this new domain lord was someone who dared to kill even the former domain lord, Tu An, so no one dared to be presumptuous in front of him.

Meng Chuan quickly noticed that there were two people in the crowd who seemed a bit off.

There were two middle-aged men standing in the front row.

A figure dressed in a crimson robe, with faint flames swirling around him, was clearly a powerful cultivator of the Law of Fire, at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

The other one wore a grayish-blue robe and was surrounded by a faint green light. He cultivated the Law of Wood and was also at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Although the two men were also bowing, their faces were filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.

That expression was as if someone had forced him to do something he was extremely unwilling to do.

Meng Chuan's gaze fell on the two of them.

"What's wrong?"

He spoke, his tone calm yet carrying an invisible pressure, "Aren't you happy that I'm the domain lord?"

The atmosphere instantly became tense upon hearing this.

All eyes were focused on the two people.

The two men exchanged a glance, and then the man in the crimson robe stepped forward first.

He raised his head, looked directly at Meng Chuan, and spoke with an undisguised arrogance:

"Domain Lord, my name is 'Long Aotian'."

He paused, as if waiting for Meng Chuan to react to the name.

But Meng Chuan just looked at him calmly, without any change in expression.

Long Aotian had no choice but to continue: "I am the eldest son of Emperor Sangyu, and the current patriarch of the Long family!"

Seeing that Meng Chuan still didn't react, Long Aotian gritted his teeth and continued:

"Lord of the Domain, although my father has temporarily retired, he will return sooner or later!"

"If the Domain Lord is willing to return the Emperor Weapon of the Great Dao of Destruction, I will plead for the Domain Lord's life when my father returns, and I will ask my father to grant the Domain Lord a swift and merciful end!"

The air around them seemed to freeze as soon as he said that.

Give the domain lord a quick death?

This isn't pleading, it's a clear threat!

Everyone looked at Meng Chuan, wanting to see how the new domain lord would respond.

Meng Chuan did not look at Long Aotian.

He turned to look at another man dressed in a gray-blue robe: "And you?"

The man took a deep breath, stepped forward, and cupped his hands in greeting:

"Lord of the Domain, I am Wang Lin, the third-generation sect master of the Black God Sect."

"I am the second direct disciple of Emperor Sangyu."

"My request is the same as Junior Brother Long's—I hope the Domain Lord will return the Emperor Weapon of Destruction."

His tone was more polite than Long Aotian's, but the meaning behind his words was the same.

After listening, Meng Chuan nodded.

Then he spoke.

"You two, one is the son of Emperor Sangyu, and the other is his disciple..."

His voice was calm. "You want to destroy the Great Dao Emperor Weapon, is that it?"

Long Aotian and Wang Lin exchanged a glance, then nodded simultaneously, "Yes."

Meng Chuan smiled.

His smile was faint, yet it sent a chill down the spine of everyone present.

"Destroying the Great Dao Emperor Weapon is very simple..."

Meng Chuan stretched out his hand, and the long, jet-black sword appeared in his palm.

The blade was jet black, with a dark red light flowing along its edge, exuding a chilling aura of destruction.

"If you survive three of my moves, they're yours!"

His voice remained calm, but a chilling killing intent flickered in his deep eyes!

Long Aotian's expression changed: "Domain Lord, you—"

Before he could finish speaking, Meng Chuan had already moved.

His figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Long Aotian!

The God-Slaying Spear and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl were not used.

He simply raised his hand and struck out with a palm!
