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

Chapter 4 Meeting the Lord of Chaos City

"Lord City Lord, Tian Shi requests an audience!"

"Come in!"

Li Yang entered the Chaos City Lord's residence in the Initial Universe and, familiar with the place, arrived at the Chaos City Lord's cultivation area. There, he met the guardian of the Initial Universe and now the leader of the Virtual Universe Company, the Chaos City Lord.

As expected of a fifth-tier universe lord, even though Li Yang is already a top-tier universe overlord, he still felt a murderous aura and pressure coming towards him when he saw the main battle avatar of the Chaos City Lord.

"Greetings, Lord City Lord!"

"Hey, you never come here without a reason!" the Chaos City Lord chuckled, teasingly. "It's been almost 100 epochs since I last saw you in the Initial Universe. What brings you here this time?"

Li Yang slightly cupped his hands and said:

"Lord of the City, I have reached a bottleneck in my cultivation and comprehension of the Law of Time! If I continue to stay here, I don't know when I will be able to break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe? Lately, I have been feeling restless and want to cultivate more outstanding successors for my human race."

"It just so happens that the Peak Genius Battle of my Virtual Universe Company will be held in about 2000 years. I would like to take on the role of host for the Peak Genius Battle of the next 10000 epochs. I hope the City Lord will grant my request!"

The Lord of Chaos City laughed and said, "Haha, I thought it was something important. Such a small matter can be communicated via email! You even made a special trip over here. It seems you really have been staying here for too long and want to get some exercise."

"The task of hosting the Genius Battle is something all my Cosmic Venerables avoid like the plague. They all think it's a thankless job. Often, only one truly outstanding talent emerges after dozens or even hundreds of rounds. They're all afraid I'll drag them into doing the hard labor, but you, on the other hand, want to take on this task. Since you want to do it, then go ahead and do it. There's no need to set a time limit; you can be in charge of this matter indefinitely, so I won't have to bother arranging for other Venerables to host it. When you decide you don't want to do it anymore, just let me know via email."

"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"

"You just went to take over the mission of the Lord of Qingdong and went to oversee the Blood Luo Continent. How is it? Are you adapting well?"

"Lord Qingdong has managed the Blood Luo Continent very well. My only responsibility is to ensure there are no mishaps. Overall, things are relatively stable!"

"Well, is there anything else?"

"That's all, thank you, City Lord. Tian Shi takes his leave!"

Li Yang was overjoyed to have successfully secured the task of the Peak Genius Battle. Now all the human geniuses were under his control!

Next, Li Yang planned to arrange for his human body and Snow Moon Tree avatar to cultivate the secret technique: "The main thing now is to improve my own strength. I've already taken care of the arrangements for my disciples and the family, and I've also taken on the responsibility of the Genius Battle. My current comprehension of the laws is at a bottleneck, so I should go into seclusion to cultivate my own secret technique."

Li Yang sorted out his thoughts and silently pondered to himself.

To be honest, I haven't started cultivating diligently since I came to this world. I don't know how long this seclusion will last. It might only be a thousand years, or it might be a few epochs or ten epochs. When I come out, I might be able to break through my comprehension level.

Currently, I can gain approximately 3680 million points of enlightenment per era. At this rate, it would take about 10.6 eras of arduous cultivation to raise my enlightenment to the next stage.

With his once-in-a-billion-epoch comprehension, becoming the master of the universe will be a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, Li Yang decided to go into seclusion. "Little Purple, my main body and the Snow Moon Tree clone are going into seclusion to cultivate for a while. I'll leave the affairs of the Blood Luo Continent to you! If there are any particularly urgent matters, you can contact my Purple Cocoon clone!" "Yes, Master!" As Li Yang's intelligent life form, Little Purple now possesses the strength of an invincible king, which is more than enough to handle some minor matters on the Blood Luo Continent.

The overall situation of the human race is currently relatively stable, with no major incidents occurring. Li Yang decided to send his purple pupa clones to roam the human territory 2000 years before the Genius Battle to see if they could discover any promising talents.

Since the rise of the human race under the leadership of the Primordial Ancestor, they have become the strongest race in the Primordial Universe. At their peak, they possessed the territory of nearly 1800 cosmic kingdoms. Unfortunately, as the Primordial Ancestor was suppressed by the Primordial Universe, the territory of the human race shrank again and again.

Fortunately, the founder of the giant axe broke through to become the strongest in the universe in a very short time, thus stopping the decline of the human race. However, the current territory is only more than 800 universe kingdoms, which is much smaller than the 1008 universe kingdoms in the original work.

However, these 800-plus universe countries are enough for me to travel around for a long time!

In his previous life, Li Yang had longed for the vast world of Devouring, and now he had the opportunity to come to this world. Moreover, he had an incredibly lucky start, immediately possessing the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord. He also had three divine power clones, so he would hardly encounter any danger in human territory.

Moreover, there's nothing particularly urgent right now, so taking on apprentices is entirely up to fate! Now that I have the opportunity, of course I'll personally experience the magnificent scenery of the universe!

The Purple Cocoon clone is itself a cosmic behemoth clone, perfectly suited for traveling the universe and experiencing its magnificent scenery. It truly thrives in the cosmos!

In the universe, time is both the most valuable and the least valuable thing. Two thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Yang travels through the starry sky, passing through one cosmic kingdom after another. During his travels, he sometimes encounters beautiful galaxies, sometimes witnesses supernova explosions, and sometimes even takes a vacation at the central black hole of a galaxy. It must be said that this is an experience every fan of the game longs to have. However, those who come to the world of *Devourer* all face the pressure of survival, rarely having the opportunity to appreciate the grandeur of the universe.

In this process, Li Yang also gained an unexpected insight: Tian Shi had been in a state of arduous cultivation since birth, his mind constantly on edge. Having reached the Planetary level, he aspired to become the Constant level; upon reaching the Constant level, he strived to become a Domain Lord. Even after becoming a top-tier cosmic overlord, he still dreamed of cultivating to become the Lord of the Universe. For most of his life, he dared not relax, constantly striving in arduous cultivation.

After this period of relaxation and travel in 2000, Li Yang underwent a transformation in his mindset. It was an unexpected yet reasonable outcome.

After gathering his thoughts, Li Yang checked his comprehension progress on his system panel.

Current Comprehension: 605920000/1000000000 (Comprehension level that appears only once every 100 million epochs)

Comprehension increase rate: +10 points/day

Indeed, the progress in increasing comprehension is very encouraging. Li Yang believes that once comprehension reaches the next stage, there should be a very noticeable change.

"Little Purple, go and call Fred the third brother over. I need him to do something for me!"
