The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace in the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 12 The Origin of the Virtual Universe

Led by the Lord of Chaos City, the group flew toward the statue.

In the endless void, the closer one gets to the statue, the clearer the towering, majestic statue becomes.

"This is the Primordial Ancestor? No wonder he roamed the universe and reached the peak of the 10th level simply by comprehending the laws of the universe!" Li Yang looked at the Primordial Ancestor's statue and couldn't help but feel admiration.

What incredible talent! To cultivate to such a level without any inheritance!

It even created a virtual universe that covers the entire original universe!

They led humanity from a powerful race to become the number one force in the primordial universe! Before the Primordial Ancestor was suppressed, no one in the entire universe dared to provoke humanity.

powerful!

"This is what the original ancestor looks like!" Li Yang silently observed the original ancestor.

Yuan's physique wasn't robust; rather, it was rather slender. He wore a white robe and gazed into the distance with a smile. His smile gave the impression of knowing everything. Looking at Yuan's statue, Li Yang felt a sense of peace, as if he had returned to his mother's embrace, where there was nothing to worry about.

His eyes seemed to reflect the Milky Way, and it was as if one could see the entire universe through them.

He was tall and imposing, standing tall and upright.

The laws of the universe surrounded him, as if he were the core of the universe.

"Teacher," the group of five stopped, and the Lord of Chaos City bowed deeply, "Our Virtual Universe lineage has given birth to another Universe Lord—the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace. Today, we have brought him here to see you!"

The Lord of Chaos City turned to the side and said:

"Eclipse, this is Yuan, the founder of my Virtual Universe Company!"

Li Yang immediately stepped forward: "Greetings, Ancestor!"

Li Yang held this exceptionally talented founder of the virtual universe company in the highest esteem. The Primal Ancestor had played an indispensable role in humanity's current state. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Li Yang's rise to the level of a Universe Lord was due to the Primal Ancestor's influence. Even the current strongest human being, the founder of the Giant Axe, had received guidance from the Primal Ancestor.

Without the origin, there would be no virtual universe, nor would there be such a powerful and dominant race as the human race.

"Disciple obeys Master's command," the Chaos City Lord said, looking up at the towering statue with a resolute expression in his eyes. "Guarding Chaos City and protecting the Primordial Universe, we have remained steadfast and have never forgotten Master's teachings. Today, Eclipse has broken through to become the fifth Universe Lord of my Virtual Universe Company, making humanity even stronger. We will continue to strive to improve our strength and one day help Master escape this predicament."

Hearing the words of the Chaos City Lord, Li Yang's heart was also stirred: "The Primordial Ancestor has only been suppressed for a short time, and everyone is still full of hope for rescuing him. It seems that everyone is not numb yet! I believe that with the rapid breakthrough of my strength, the Primordial Ancestor may indeed be rescued by me ahead of schedule."

At the same time, the Lord of Ice Peaks and the Lord of Darkness bowed and spoke softly, but their voices were completely isolated from each other.

The atmosphere before this statue was extremely oppressive, an invisible pressure that even affected the five cosmic lords. Even the malevolent Lord of Darkness had become a well-behaved child.

After a moment, the Chaos City Lord and the other four Universe Lords bowed and flew away together.

The space was filled with chaotic energy, and their five figures disappeared into the depths of that energy.

The towering statue still stood deep within the chaotic currents, but now, its eyes seemed to twitch, glancing in the direction the five had flown away. A faint, almost imperceptible voice seemed to echo: "Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse? Interesting!"

Five figures flew through the chaotic air currents, and everyone remained silent.

Li Yang knew that the virtual universe was a secret technique he had created, and that it also possessed its own cosmic origin, similar to the primordial universe. The virtual universe was not an illusion; it belonged to a different category. In an illusion, cultivating the laws of the universe required a vast amount of energy, while the virtual universe, which constantly supported the cultivation of countless powerful individuals—even cosmic venerables and cosmic masters practicing secret techniques—required almost no energy supply.

Through careful observation of the Primordial Statue and his understanding of the Devouring World, Li Yang discovered the most likely reason why the Virtual Universe does not need to provide energy: the Virtual Universe has its own cosmic origin to provide energy, and the Virtual Universe origin can spontaneously absorb chaotic energy from the cosmic sea to replenish its own energy consumption.

This is why virtual universes are ubiquitous throughout the universe, and countless humans and powerful figures from the Hongmeng Alliance can connect and use them without requiring any additional energy.

Just like the origin of the primordial universe, the primordial universe was constantly absorbing large amounts of chaotic energy to fuel the lives of billions of races in the universe.

Soon, Li Yang and his group returned to Thunder Island. A moment later, they received an email from the founder of the Giant Axe, asking them to attend the highest-level meeting of the human race.

"The highest councils of the human race are of two types," the Chaos City Lord explained with a smile. "One type is a large-scale council, attended by all the Universe Venerables, Universe Lords, and the strongest beings in the universe. These large-scale councils are generally for major events, or events that significantly impact the interests of the Universe Venerables. You've attended quite a few of these councils, so I won't go into detail! This time, I'll mainly introduce the other type, which deals with important events involving other races, primarily discussed by the highest levels of their respective races. This type of council is attended only by the Universe Lords and the strongest beings in the universe. Because it's convened by the Giant Axe Founder, it's also known as the 'Giant Axe Council.'"

"The Giant Axe Conference?" Li Yang wondered, "Will there be another Celestial Eclipse Conference after I break through to become the strongest in the universe?"

The latest novel is first published here!

As a top cosmic overlord of the human race, Li Yang has attended the highest human race meeting more than once or twice—the arrangement of the extraterrestrial battlefield, the opening of the primordial star, the struggle for the cosmic secret realm, etc., but each time he has just sat below and listened to the arrangements of the cosmic lords. Now that he has the opportunity to express his own opinions and views, Li Yang is very much looking forward to it.

After all, the major decisions concerning the human race are truly made by the rulers of the universes and the strongest beings in the universe.

Therefore, participating in this "Giant Axe Conference" is the only way to truly gain a voice in the human race and decide on various matters within the race.

"You now possess all the authority of the human race's cosmic ruler and can directly teleport to the Giant Axe Temple," the Chaos City Lord reminded him. "The Giant Axe Conference is held in the Giant Axe Temple."

"Okay." Li Yang checked his permissions and found that he had many more teleportation points that he could freely choose.

"Let's go," said the Lord of Chaos City.

With a "whoosh!", the five Universe Lords of the Virtual Universe Company instantly vanished from the summit of Thunder Island. The Virtual Universe Company was clearly led by the Lord of Chaos City…
