The original universe, the primordial secret realm.

A towering black mountain was suspended in the void, filled with wisps of light green and white mist. In the distance and around this towering mountain, ancient planets could be faintly seen.

At the foot of this high mountain, palaces rise and fall one after another. Among them is a pure white palace about tens of thousands of kilometers long, emitting dazzling light.

Inside the main hall.

At first glance, there were no servants, only a suffocating figure sitting high on the throne.

She was wearing a white feather robe, with a pair of pure white wings on her back and a crystal between her eyebrows. Her beautiful face was breathtaking, yet not tainted by the worldly touch.

Sitting there, the entire hall seemed to be filled with a holy atmosphere.

suddenly--

The beautiful girl opened her eyes, her bright eyes were filled with confusion, and she said softly: "The teacher asked me to see him, is there something wrong?"

She didn't think much about it, she just stood up, flapped her wings behind her, and instantly turned into a stream of light and flew out of the palace.

After flying out of the palace, she looked up at the towering black mountains. There were densely packed cave entrances everywhere, and the cave entrances were filled with cold air.

Immediately.

Swish!

The beautiful girl flew to a huge palace that was hundreds of thousands of kilometers tall. On the outer wall of the huge palace was carved a flying beast with three eyes.

"Light Sword Lord."

"Light Sword Lord."

The immortal god guards in golden armor outside the palace saluted respectfully and made way for the passage at the same time. The beautiful girl immediately stepped in.

…

Yuhuang Palace, the main hall.

"Teacher." The girl in white feathered clothes stood in front of the prince and saluted respectfully.

"Hmm." The dazzling figure on the throne looked down, his blue eyes were as calm and deep as the sea, and he naturally exuded an incomparably noble aura.

"I heard that you met the demon clan's Marquis Blade Moon when you were on the battlefield outside the domain?" asked Venerable Tianyu.

"Yes." The girl nodded slightly. "Although that Blade Moon Marquis is at the peak of the Marquisate, but fortunately under the guidance of the teacher, I have made some progress in the wing shuttle method "Light Travel", and I escaped without any danger."

She looked at the dazzling figure on the throne and couldn't help but feel grateful.

The person in front of him is the almighty "Yu Huang"!

With my qualifications, it is a great fortune to be accepted as his disciple. It is because of his teachings that I can deduce the wing-traveling method "Light Travel" to the "top" level, and even if I encounter a powerful alien warrior at the peak of the marquisate, I can escape safely.

"Ai Chen, I'm looking for you this time because of something very important." Venerable Tianyu said solemnly.

"Please speak, teacher." Ai Chen said respectfully.

Wow!

Venerable Tianyu flipped his hand, and the surrounding space shook, and an exquisite treasure floated in the air.

This exquisite treasure instantly traveled through space and appeared directly in front of Ai Chen.

It was a set of exquisite "crystal wings" that looked like a work of art. The material seemed to be the most dazzling gem. Each feather had hundreds of facets, flowing with various colors of luster. It was suspended in the air. It felt that the flow of time around it was slightly distorted, exuding a heart-pounding breath.

"This treasure is called the 'Vortex Dream Wings'." Venerable Tianyu said calmly, "This is a top-level treasure wing. With your attainments in the secret method of 'Light Travel', with this treasure, you will not be afraid even if you encounter an immortal god."

"Precious treasure? Top-quality precious wings?" Ai Chen looked at the treasure and couldn't help but be stunned.

God have mercy on her, she is just an immortal god of the initial level of a marquis, how could she possibly get such a treasure?

"Teacher, this is..." Ai Chen asked breathlessly.

"You can accept it, but please do not disclose its information." Tianyu Venerable said with emotion, "This treasure is the blessing of the Lord of the Origin of our race to you."

"In addition to asking me to pass on this treasure to you, the Lord of Origin also instructed... I hope you will practice well. The human race today will no longer be the same as it was in the past. With your talent, as long as you practice hard, you may one day become a universe master."

Your Highness.

The seemingly weak and quiet girl lowered her head slightly after hearing what Venerable Tianyu said. Her emotions were complicated and difficult to understand for a moment, and her bright eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist.

Lord of Origin?

"Lin Yan..." Ai Chen secretly called out the name in his heart, and everything related to Lin Yan emerged in his mind.

The man who was destined to be the "focus of the crowd" and the "sun that dims the stars" from the moment they met... Every glance she secretly watched emerged incomparably clearly at this moment.

From the "God" who once ruled the war of geniuses, to the "King Xuanyuan" who was famous throughout the universe, and now to the "Lord of Origin" who shocks and frightens billions of races in the universe!

Every step seems to be the greatest miracle in the world!

It was precisely because of this unimaginable rise that, as time went by, this distance made her inner admiration and worship become somewhat illusory.

"He, still remembers me..." This thought emerged in Ai Chen's mind.

It was just one person's memory, but it made her heart, which had become extremely peaceful after a long period of practice, jump for joy at this moment.

This kind of happiness is completely different from the excitement of seeing this precious treasure in front of me. It is like a handful of clear spring water in the desert, which makes the soul empty.

"Even though he has long been standing in the clouds and out of reach, he still remembers your existence, Ai Chen, this is your luck." Venerable Tianyu looked at the tiny figure of the prince, and his words were gentle and rare. "I will teach you well, and you must not let him down."

Ai Chen held up the pair of Swirl Dream Wings with great care and said in a clear voice: "I will definitely not disappoint the Lord of Origin and my teacher's expectations of me."

Even though she knew very well in her heart that after she had passed the 15th level of the Tongtian Bridge at the level of Realm Lord, it would be difficult for her to make any further progress in her understanding of the laws, and she could only choose to break through to immortality... it would be difficult for her to become an immortal god in her lifetime.

Even though she understood that Venerable Tianyu was willing to accept her as a disciple not because he thought highly of her, apart from the slight influence of her identity as a member of the Mengluoyi tribe, it was more of a matter of love for her and his love for her.

But she was willing to believe without reservation... the future that the Lord of Origin had spoken of.

He felt that he had the possibility of breaking through to become the Supreme Lord of the Universe. That was absolutely possible, without a doubt.

"Um."

Venerable Tianyu nodded slightly and sighed inwardly.

For him, the proudest achievement in his life... was that he had once guided Lin Yan in his cultivation. Even though this could not be considered a true master-disciple relationship, Lin Yan still always respected him very much.

He was trapped in the invincible realm of the king for endless years. Not only him, but also King Tongnan and King Longyu were the same. However, fortunately, their accumulation was indeed extremely rich.

After Lin Yan entered the highest level of humanity, he spent huge amounts of valuable resources to help them break through to become the Lord of the Universe, and also prepared treasures for each of them.

Now speaking of strength, Venerable Tianyu is also one of the stronger ones among the high-level cosmic venerables.

This has always touched him, and he can't help but look up to everyone related to Lin Yan. With his vision, how could he not see Ai Chen's thoughts?

This was also the main reason that prompted him to accept a disciple.
"It was your luck and misfortune to meet him when you were young." Tianyu Zun secretly sighed, "He would amaze your life... but he never even left his back."

…

In the initial universe, in the ancient chaotic city.

Prince Zhenkun’s residence.

After hearing Rong Jun's story, Jiang Mo and Qianshui were stunned.

They died eighty thousand years ago and had only heard of some of Lin Yan's deeds during his time as "King Xuanyuan". However, at that time, in order to break through to become a Universe Master, Lin Yan had been practicing in seclusion for a full ninety thousand years. Except for the early days, there was no more news about Lin Yan.

“You mean... King Xuanyuan, who was powerful enough to defeat the Lord of the Universe at that time, was actually a Realm Lord in disguise?” Jiang Mo felt like he was doubting his life.

As a realm master, he wanted to kill an immortal god to avenge his sister, but he couldn’t do it. How could Lin Yan be capable of fighting the Lord of the Universe?

"More than that." Rong Jun shook his head. "When the Lord of Origin was a Realm Lord, he could easily kill a Universe Lord. With the help of World Projection, he could even defeat a Universe Overlord. Once he broke through the Universe Lord, he had the strength to rival the powerful Universe Lord. Now he is an invincible existence in the original universe."

Jiang Mo and Qianshui looked at each other. It was really too presumptuous for the two world masters to listen to such a topic.

Even when I hear about this kind of thing, it seems like a fairy tale.

But there are people who can do it.

Rong Jun continued to talk about some news related to Luo Feng, the peerless genius who was accepted as a personal disciple by the Lord of Chaos City and became famous under the name of "King of Knife River". He also had a wonderful story.

After everyone leaves.

A registered disciple of Rong Jun came in to report that a purple-robed envoy from the City Lord's Mansion came to ask for a meeting.

The purple-robed envoy was a special servant of the Lord of Chaos City and had a very high status. His sudden visit left Rong Jun confused.

He went out to greet them in person. After entering the hall, he and the two purple-robed messengers were the only ones left. When the other party explained their purpose, Rong Jun was extremely surprised.

"The messenger said...you are here to hand over something for the Lord of Origin?" Rong Jun was stunned.

"That's right." One of the purple-robed emissaries smiled, "The Lord of Origin said that your Zhegui wine, King Zhenkun, is delicious. I hope we can have a chance to drink together in the future and compete in the same genius competition. This is his gift to you."

"The Lord of Origin is the pillar of the tribe and the supreme being. King Zhenkun, you are really enviable for receiving the grace of the Lord of Origin."

At the same time, he flipped his hand and a world ring appeared in his hand.

Rong Jun took it directly and felt heavy in his heart.

What will be Lin Yan’s gift?

With such curiosity in mind, his immortal power penetrated into it, and his pupils shrank immediately. The domineering and resolute strong man actually trembled all over.

"I have delivered the things. King Zhenkun must remember not to disclose it to others. I hope you will not disappoint the Lord of Origin's expectations." The purple-clothed messengers looked at the extremely excited Rong Jun and did not want to disturb him, so they chose to leave directly.

After they left.

Rong Jun was the only one left in the hall.

He took out the gift from the world ring, and suddenly a giant black sword appeared in his hand. The blade was wide, and there were complex silver-white secret patterns flowing faintly. The sharp aura was extremely terrifying.

"A treasure!" Rong Jun suppressed his inner excitement and growled in his heart, "It's actually a treasure!"

The treasure given by Lin Yan was actually an ordinary precious sword. The moment he saw it, Rong Jun felt the blood in his body become hot and he couldn't let it go.

Although he is very talented and his teacher said that he has the potential to break through to become the Supreme Lord of the Universe, but that will be in the future at an unknown time. Now he can only be regarded as close to being an invincible king, and yet he was directly given a treasure!

It was a supreme treasure that only a very few high-level cosmic masters could possess. Even the direct disciples of the Lord of the Universe could hardly receive such a gift, and Lin Yan... actually gave him such a precious gift!

"My strongest point is my swordsmanship." Rong Jun felt an immense respect in his heart, "I won't let you down!"

…

This scene happened in many places at the same time.

Bolan got a blood sword that was very similar to the one he had, which was also an ordinary treasure. Uka got a black axe, which was a top-level treasure.

Among the other realm master-level members, Qianshui got a turquoise battle armor, Jiang Mo got a telekinetic weapon, and Long Yun got a battle sword... They were top-level treasures and ordinary treasures, but they could only be obtained after breaking through to immortality.

In that genius competition, all members who showed outstanding potential received such a precious gift.

The remaining surviving members also received more or less points rewards from the Virtual Universe Company.

Lin Yan is growing very fast, and there are not many people he can really remember, so he is not stingy in helping these old friends.

Needless to say, Earth is also a good place to get along with. Take "Gett", the leader of the guard when he was a member of the original secret realm, for example. They got along very well at that time. After Lin Yan became the "Lord of Origin", he helped him break through to become an immortal god and was directly transferred to the Milky Way.

These gifts were just casual things to him, more of a commemoration of the past.

Of course, he did not prepare casually. With his keen eyes, he could easily see their respective potentials. Even if there were any discrepancies, they would only be isolated cases.

The current human race has the heritage of ancient civilization and systematic training. In addition, Lin Yan is not stingy in giving some help to his old friends... Rong Jun and Bolan have every chance of becoming the masters of the universe, so they only get ordinary treasures.

People like Wuka, Aichen, Qianshui, etc. have the potential to become the sages of the universe, and therefore can obtain top-level treasures. The rest who can obtain ordinary treasures must at least have the potential to become immortal gods.

But no matter what, it is just a genius competition, and the overall number is still extremely small.

…

For these old friends, these gifts may be able to directly change their fate, but for Lin Yan, it only takes a thought or an order, and he does not need to pay too much attention to it.

At this moment, he has more important things to do.

The primitive universe, the edge of human territory, the secret realm of Hunbing.

In the vast void, there is not a trace of light, not a trace of dust, everything is nothingness. In the endless darkness, there stands only a towering huge black pyramid, which is the "Imitation Black Prison Tower".

This is the place that is a nightmare and taboo for the immortal gods of the human race, the prison of the Eighteen Star Regions.

Lin Yan stood alone in the void, looking at the towering black pyramid from afar, waiting quietly.

suddenly--

A golden-robed figure appeared out of nowhere and teleported to Lin Yan's side.

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Lin Yan, with a hint of excitement in his eyes: "Junior Brother Lin Yan, do you really have a solution?"

He received an email from Lin Yan in the virtual universe, in which he mentioned that he wanted to help the Star Prison Demon Lord regain consciousness, and then he immediately teleported over from the Kingdom of God.

The Star Prison Demon Lord was one of the only three top cosmic overlords in the human race. Of course, Lin Xiao is now worthy of being called the fourth top cosmic overlord.

This is the eldest disciple of the Chaos City Lord and also the disciple who has followed him the longest, so the feelings between them are naturally deep. However, due to Star Prison Demon Lord's own practice, his will and consciousness are becoming more and more in line with the "black hole", and he has gradually lost his human emotions, forgotten everything, and turned into a truly deep and cold star.

The Lord of Chaos City has always hoped that he could wake up, but he is really powerless.

Now that Lin Yan said he had such a method, he was naturally excited.

"You can give it a try." Lin Yan said with a smile.
