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

Meng Chuan quickly lost his sense of time. He didn't know how much time had passed; he only knew that he was groping and searching in the dark.

Finally, at a certain moment—

He sensed it!

In this endless darkness, there was an extremely faint and subtle fluctuation.

That was neither a fluctuation of laws nor a fluctuation of power.

Rather, it is a fluctuation of... will.

Meng Chuan suddenly opened his eyes.

He reached out and gently grasped at the direction from which the ripple came.

The next moment, the darkness shattered.

He returned to the stone tablet, his palm still resting on the handprint.

On the surface of the stone tablet, next to the faint palm print, a line of small characters slowly emerged—

"break!"

There is only one word.

But Meng Chuan knew he had succeeded.

He withdrew his hand, looked down at his palm, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"What is sealed within that stone tablet is an imprint of will left by a predecessor... That predecessor walked a path of 'returning to simplicity'."

"He left this stone tablet not to impart some kind of law or supernatural power, but to let future generations understand that true power does not lie in how many laws you have mastered, but in whether you can control your own will."

Meng Chuan took a deep breath, a sense of respect rising in his heart.

He solemnly cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the stone tablet.

Then, he turned and left.

……

Before the three-month period was up, Meng Chuan returned to the Bounty Hall.

The middle-aged steward looked surprised when he saw him: "Guest, why are you back so soon? Could it be...?"

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly saw the intact black token in Meng Chuan's hand, and his pupils contracted sharply.

"You...you cracked it?!"

Meng Chuan placed the token on the table and nodded indifferently: "Just lucky."

The middle-aged deacon stood there stunned for a long while before he came to his senses, his voice trembling slightly: "Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go and fetch the Palace Master right away!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked quickly toward the back of the main hall.

Meng Chuan stood still, waiting quietly.

He knew that the Palace Master the other party was referring to was the one in charge of managing the Bounty Palace.

A short while later, an old man dressed in a golden robe came out from the back hall.

The old man had white hair and beard, and a kind face, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, as if they could see through all illusions.

He stood there, unmoved as a mountain, but when the other party's divine sense swept over, Meng Chuan felt a chill in his heart. This was definitely the most powerful being he had encountered since coming to the God Realm!

"Could this person be... a high-ranking saint?!"

Meng Chuan was secretly alarmed.

At the same time, the other person walked up to Meng Chuan, looked him up and down, and gave him an appreciative smile: "You're very good."

"After 80,000 years, someone has finally deciphered the seventy-seventh stone tablet."

Meng Chuan bowed respectfully: "You flatter me, Palace Master. I was merely lucky."

"Just luck?" The old man shook his head with a smile. "Someone who can decipher the seventy-seventh stone tablet in three months can't be explained away with just 'luck'."

He reached into his robes and took out a purple storage ring, handing it to Meng Chuan: "According to the mission agreement, you can choose any reward from a low-grade Heaven-level mission. I'll give you twenty high-grade divine crystals. In addition, this Guest Elder token is also yours."

Meng Chuan took the storage ring and probed it with his divine sense. He found that it contained twenty high-grade divine crystals and a token that was entirely purple. The front of the token was engraved with the character "客" (guest), and the back was engraved with the characters "万法" (ten thousand laws).

Twenty high-grade divine crystals—even the most lucrative low-grade Heaven-level mission rewards fifteen high-grade divine crystals.

At this point, Meng Chuan also realized that the so-called "long-term mission" of the Myriad Laws Stele Forest was mainly to help the Myriad Laws Hall select talents and recruit guest elders.

However, for Meng Chuan, having this identity will make his path on Wanfa Island much smoother!

His gaze sharpened as he looked at the screen displaying the mission notification.

"Lord, I'd like to take on another mission."

Meng Chuan looked up at the old man in the golden robe.

"Oh?" The old man looked at him with interest. "What kind of task?"

"Searching for the Time-Space Stone."

Back when he was still in the primordial universe, he was forced into spatial turbulence by thirty Great Dao Saints, but the fragments of the Chaos Pearl protected him.

I wonder if the spatial turbulence in this divine realm is even more terrifying...

The old man was taken aback at first, then laughed: "That mission has been hanging in the Bounty Hall for over ten thousand years, and some people have taken it on—but spatial turbulence is no safe place, and those people ultimately returned empty-handed."

"but……"

He then changed the subject, saying, "You were able to decipher the seventy-seventh stone tablet, which shows that your willpower and comprehension far surpass those of ordinary people. Perhaps, you really do have a chance to find that stone."

He reached out and a jade slip flew out from the light screen above the main hall and landed in his hand.

"Here are the detailed clues needed for the mission. Take them."

Meng Chuan took the jade slip and put it into his pocket: "Thank you, Palace Master."

"No need to thank me." The old man waved his hand. "If you really find the Time-Space Stone, that's your own skill. Just remember to come back and claim your reward."

Meng Chuan nodded, turned around and left the Bounty Hall.

Stepping out of the main hall, the sunlight warmed my skin.

He glanced down at the purple token in his hand, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Elder of the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws...

This identity should be quite useful on Wanfa Island.

He carefully put away the token and storage ring, determined the direction, and flew towards the outside of Wanfa Island.

The Time-Space Secret Stone is located in the spatial turbulence west of Wanfa Island.

To enter the spatial turbulence, you must first find the intersection of the spatial turbulence and the real world.

According to the clues provided by the mission, the rendezvous point is located in the airspace above a sea area about 30 million miles west of Wanfa Island.

Meng Chuan quickened his pace and headed towards the port.

However, just as he was about to leave the central square of Wanfa Island, a voice suddenly came from behind him—

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Meng Chuan paused and looked back.

A young man dressed in a blue robe was walking quickly toward him.

The young man had a handsome face and a gentle smile on his lips, giving people a feeling of warmth and comfort.

But his aura sent a chill down Meng Chuan's spine.

A Saint of the Middle Rank!

"What's the matter?" Meng Chuan asked calmly.

The young man approached him, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "I am Gu Changyuan, an inner disciple of the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws. May I ask if you are the expert who just deciphered the seventy-seventh stone tablet?"

Meng Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

The news spread so fast?

He had just come out of the Bounty Hall and hadn't gone far when someone came knocking on his door.

"It's me." Meng Chuan didn't deny it. "What can I do for you?"

Gu Changyuan's smile widened even more: "I dare not presume to offer guidance. However, I have a business deal I would like to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

Meng Chuan inquired.
