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

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

On Wanfa Island, the laws are clear and the spiritual energy is abundant, making it a rare sacred place for cultivation.

After settling on the island, Meng Chuan and the other two began their long cultivation journey.

Meng Chuan focused his main energy on two aspects:

First, it integrates the laws of time.

His time law has been perfected, but it is not easy for him to integrate it into the other four laws that are already integrated.

However, integrating the laws of time into an environment like Wanfa Island, where the laws are clearly defined, is much more efficient than in the outside world.

Secondly, try to expand the small world inside your body.

Once the inner world is opened up, it is not static.

It needs constant nourishment and expansion to grow from a small world into a medium world, and even a large world.

This process requires a lot of resources and time.

Meng Chuan wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time.

Yan Qing was refining the gray ring that Tapa had given her.

She needs to first completely refine this spatial treasure, and then use its power to continue fusing with the already perfected spatial laws.

Only by successfully integrating the laws of space can she become a true saint of the four laws and be qualified to open up her inner world.

As for Tapa—

It was not giving up at first and continued to try to open up the inner world.

But repeated failures finally made it realize a fact: without the laws of force and space, it is almost impossible to forcibly open up the inner world.

Thousands of years have passed, and it still has gained nothing.

Ultimately, Tapa had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​opening up his inner world and instead integrate with the already perfected spatial laws.

However, the law of space is already its fifth perfect law.

The difficulty of fusing the fifth law far exceeds that of fusing the previous four laws.

Even with the aid of that silver short blade, its progress was extremely slow.

……

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed.

On Wanfa Island, Meng Chuan slowly opened his eyes.

He sensed the world within his body—

After thousands of years of nourishment and expansion, the inner world has become almost twice as large as when it was first created.

The world's mountains, rivers, plants, and living things have become more vivid and vibrant.

However, there is still a long way to go before it can grow into a "medieval" world.

He sensed the laws of time again—

There is still a long way to go before integration.

Ten thousand years of contemplation only allowed him to take a small but significant step forward.

"Take your time."

Meng Chuan wasn't in a hurry.

He opened the Extraterrestrial Demon Ranking and glanced at it.

First place: Meng Chuan.

The second to tenth places remain unchanged from ten thousand years ago.

"Um?"

Meng Chuan was slightly taken aback.

Ten thousand years have passed, and yet no one else has managed to open up the inner world?

He originally thought that with the talent and foundation of people like Di Potian and Gu Moluo, they should be able to catch up quickly.

But unexpectedly, after ten thousand years, they are still standing still?

……

Meanwhile, throughout the divine realm.

Many of those visitors from beyond the realm also habitually opened the Extraterrestrial Demon Ranking.

Then--

They were stunned once again.

Still in first place? Or is there no change?

"Ten thousand years! A full ten thousand years! And yet, no one else has managed to open up their inner world?"

"I remember that guy named Meng Chuan opened up his inner world not long after leaving the isolated island, right? All in all, it was only a few thousand years ago?"

"Thousands of years have passed since they began exploring the inner world, and now another ten thousand years have gone by, and others still haven't figured it out?"

"This difference...it's just too outrageous!"

Exclamations of surprise rang out from different corners.

If Meng Chuan's ascension to the top ten ten thousand years ago shocked them...

So, ten thousand years later, what they felt today was profound horror.

Ten thousand years ago, some people thought that Meng Chuan was just lucky to have found a suitable vessel first.

Once others find their own carriers and open up their inner worlds, Meng Chuan's advantage will disappear.

But now—

Ten thousand years have passed, and only Meng Chuan has opened up the world inside his body.

What does this mean?

This means that Meng Chuan's success was not simply due to good luck.

This also means that the difficulty of opening up the inner world is far beyond everyone's imagination!

"I initially thought Meng Chuan was just lucky..."

In a bustling city, an emperor dressed in a crimson dragon robe murmured to himself.

He was one of the Great Emperors of the Primordial Universe who discussed Meng Chuan on the deserted island ten thousand years ago.

At this moment, the expression on his face was very complicated.

"Now it seems that his ability to open up his inner world in such a short time cannot be explained by luck alone."

The emperor standing beside him, dressed in a long blue robe, also sighed: "Yes... we all underestimated him."

The white-haired old emperor's expression turned solemn: "To be able to open up one's inner world within ten thousand years is already astonishing enough. But he only took a mere few thousand years..."

He paused, his tone filled with deep apprehension: "This Meng Chuan is far more terrifying than we imagined."

……

The Divine Realm Continent, a desolate land where yellow sand stretches to the horizon.

Emperor Sangyu stood on the boulder, looking at the Extraterrestrial Demon Ranking, his face ashen.

It's been ten thousand years.

He had long since found a vessel and was trying to open up his inner world, but he failed countless times.

"Damn it..."

He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with resentment.

He originally thought that as long as a suitable vessel was found, opening up the inner world would be a natural process.

But now he realizes he was wrong.

That's completely wrong.

The difficulty of opening up the inner world far exceeded his imagination.

And Meng Chuan actually succeeded in such a short time...

"Meng Chuan..."

Emperor Sangyu gritted his teeth, a deep sense of dread flashing in his eyes.

He finally realized that this "fellow villager" he had never met was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

……

The Divine Realm Continent remains the same bustling city.

Houtu stood by the window of the high-rise building, looking at the Extraterrestrial Demon Ranking, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

It's been ten thousand years.

She also did not open up the world inside her body.

But she wasn't in a hurry.

"Ten thousand years have passed, and he's still number one..."

She spoke softly, a hint of pride in her eyes.

Her gaze was fixed on the distance, as if piercing through endless space, and landed on someone on that floating island in the sea.
