Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 172 The Primal Ancestor's Envy

Virtual universe, the top of Thunder Island.

"Alright, you two stop bothering Zhang Yi. There will be plenty of time later. Go see your teacher first." The Chaos City Lord stood up and looked at Zhang Yi, who was surrounded by the Dark Lord and the Dragon Lord.

"The teacher is the founder of my virtual universe lineage. I, Darkness, and Ice Peak are all the teacher's disciples."

"Are we going to see the Primordial Ancestor?" Zhang Yi knew in his heart that he was also very curious about this key figure in the rise of the human race.

"Come on, it's been a long time since I've seen my teacher." The Lord of Darkness stood up with a smile, glancing at Zhang Yi with a smile as well. "Nephew, let's chat again next time."

“Yes, Uncle-Master,” Zhang Yi replied.

"To see the teacher."

"I'll get to see my grandmaster's splendor again."

The six people flew directly towards the endless chaotic air currents in the sky, and continued to move forward along the endless air currents.

"Zhang Yi." The Chaos City Lord at the forefront spoke, and Zhang Yi flew to his side.

"Your current strength is comparable to that of a universe master, placing you among the super-strong in the primordial universe," the Chaos City Lord laughed. "Have you decided on your title? Like me, I named myself 'Chaos,' meaning I would guard Chaos City for my teacher and protect the foundation of the human race."

"The title of Lord of the Universe?" Zhang Yi's heart stirred.

The rulers of the universe all have titles, which are respectful terms used by other life forms to address such great beings as the rulers of the universe.

In the Immortal Realm, starting from the level of a Marquis, the strong generally have their own titles. Zhang Yi's growth rate is too fast, and he has not yet decided on a title for himself.

“It is extremely rare to have the strength of a universe master without a formal title,” said the Chaos City Lord. “Of course, if you don’t like the title, you can use your real name.”

"Although there are very few cosmic lords who always use their real names, they are not non-existent."

Zhang Yi understood and lowered his head to ponder.

The reasons why strong people choose titles are varied. Some do it because of their hometown, some because of their cultivation path, some to show their determination, and some directly because of their race. In short, there are all sorts of reasons.

"Time and space."

“Teacher,” Zhang Yi looked up at the endless chaotic energy, “my title shall be ‘Lord of Time and Space’.”

Time and space! This represents the path he is about to take, a path that is extremely difficult, but also has enormous potential.

"Lord of Time and Space?" The Lord of Chaos City was surprised, but didn't say much. "Alright, I will announce this title of yours directly."

The other four cosmic lords were also surprised.

"To dare to use time and space as its name, one has to say, it takes real guts!"

The Dragon Lord's voice was bold and resounding.

The others also looked at Zhang Yi with smiles.

"From now on, you shall be called the Lord of Time and Space."

"Lord of Time and Space".

As everyone chatted and laughed, the endless air currents around them disappeared, and a majestic statue stood not far ahead.

"Is this the original ancestor?" Zhang Yi observed carefully.

The original ancestor, dressed in a white robe, was thin and had a faint smile on his face.

"Teacher." The Lord of Chaos City bowed respectfully. "This time, my Virtual Lineage has gained another Lord of the Universe, who is also my disciple—Zhang Yi, the Lord of Time and Space. He has come to pay his respects to you today."

Zhang Yi quickly stepped forward, came to the side of the Chaos City Lord, and respectfully bowed: "Greetings, Grandmaster."

The towering, endless sculpture stood there, when suddenly its eyes flashed with light, focusing on Zhang Yi, as if it had seen through everything.

"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord. He said, "Master asked Zhang Yi to stay for a moment. The rest of you should leave." "Disciple takes his leave." Upon hearing that it was the Primordial Ancestor's order, the Dark Lord and the others quickly bowed and departed.

Soon, all four of them disappeared into the depths of the chaotic airflow.

“Teacher, he has actually awakened this time. I remember that when Youhou became the Lord of the Universe last time, the Primordial Ancestor did not leave him behind alone.”

A voice came from the chaotic air currents.

Only Zhang Yi and the Lord of Chaos City remained in front of the giant sculpture.

At this moment, the Lord of Chaos City was also excited, as the Primordial Ancestor had not appeared for a long time.

"Zhang Yi, the Master of Time and Space? Not a bad name. If I'm not mistaken, you're following the path of time and space fusion, aren't you?" A faint, ethereal voice came from the sculpture.

These words stirred up a storm in Zhang Yi's heart.

"How did the original ancestor find out?"

"Should I tell him if he asks?"

Just as Zhang Yi was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The progenitor spoke again: "Little guy, don't be nervous. I didn't mean anything by it, I was just expressing my feelings."

The Lord of Chaos asked in confusion, "Teacher, you mentioned the Dao of Space-Time Fusion? What is the Dao of Space-Time Fusion?"

"Could it be a fusion of the fundamental laws of time and space?"

Given his status in the primordial universe, he had never heard of the path of spacetime fusion. Aren't the paths of law fusion all the paths of the Beast God? Can time and space be directly fused?
He was filled with doubt.

“It’s normal that you don’t know about Chaos. I only learned about it by chance,” the Primordial Ancestor said.

"Zhang Yi, do you still remember that 'Space-Time Evolution'?"

"I remember," Zhang Yi nodded.

"I obtained it in a mysterious place in the Cosmic Sea. When I obtained this 'Space-Time Evolution Body', I also came into contact with some information and learned that it was the location of the legacy left by a powerful being who was beyond our imagination."

"And the path that incredible powerhouse excels at is the fusion of the laws of space and time, the fusion of two superior laws. What an incredible path this is! Once one achieves it, one's strength will far surpass that of other powerhouses of the same level." The primordial ancestor's voice carried a hint of longing.

"Unfortunately, I was already the strongest in the universe at that time, and my path was set and could not be changed."

"Now it seems you have received the inheritance of this powerful figure?" The Primordial Ancestor's enormous eyes looked at Zhang Yi.

"Otherwise, how could someone with an immortal body rival the Lord of the Universe?"

"The Dao of Fusion of Spacetime Laws is indeed incredibly powerful!"

After the ancestor finished speaking, he fell silent.

The Chaos City Lord and Zhang Yi, standing before him, were both deeply shocked.

“No wonder the ‘Time-Space Evolution Body’ was in the hands of the Primordial Ancestor; it turns out he obtained it from the senior Time-Space Walker.” Zhang Yi thought to himself, “The Primordial Ancestor is indeed powerful; he could see that I was merely an Immortal just by looking at me in the virtual universe.”

"Teacher, you said Zhang Yi is only an Immortal?" The Chaos City Lord came to his senses and asked.

Ever since Zhang Yi killed the top universe overlord of the demon race in the Origin Palace, the Chaos City Lord has already tacitly accepted that Zhang Yi has broken through to the Universe Venerable level. Otherwise, how could an Immortal kill a top universe Venerable?

Even with perfect genes and immortality, his divine power is still two levels lower than that of the Three-Headed Venerable. Could Zhang Yi possibly use a secret technique at the level of the strongest being in the universe to kill the Three-Headed Venerable?

The Dao of Space-Time Fusion is so powerful!
"Chaos, you must keep this a secret!" the Primordial Ancestor instructed. "Once other top clans find out, Zhang Yi will truly be in a vortex of silence."

"It's even possible that the five major races could band together and join forces to resist our human race."

"Yes, teacher." The Chaos City Lord also realized what was happening.
