Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

In the virtual universe's Rain Mountain Primitive Zone, Wu Hao sat at his desk browsing cultivation materials, preparing to break through to become a Realm Lord.

He had never participated in the qualification battles for the cosmic-level primordial secret realm or the domain lord-level primordial secret realm, and no one dared to criticize him for not participating.

The next qualifying battle for the Primordial Secret Realm at the Realm Lord level is very close, less than a hundred years away. Once Wu Hao breaks through, he will have the opportunity to participate in this qualifying battle for the Primordial Secret Realm at the Realm Lord level.

As for this qualifying battle, Wu Hao was absolutely certain of victory. Among all the world-master level geniuses in the entire Virtual Universe Company, there weren't many who could reach the seventeenth level.

After the qualifying battle, the world lord ranked first will receive a reward of 1 billion points, the world lords ranked second to tenth will receive a reward of 300 million points, and the world lords ranked eleventh to one hundredth will receive a reward of 100 million points.

Wu Hao has a secret technique book given to him by his master, so he doesn't need to buy any secret techniques. However, his Golden Horned Beast clone and the Zerg Queen clone still need cultivation resources.

If he were to live off his savings in Chaos City, he simply wouldn't be able to support his two clones. Therefore, in this Primal Secret Realm Master Qualification Battle, he has only one choice: to win the championship with overwhelming strength.

Just as Wu Hao was preparing to break through to become a realm master, he suddenly thought of something and immediately opened his computer to check it.

If he remembers correctly, all levels of players, including those at the Universe level, Domain Lord level, and World Lord level, would be rewarded with a large number of points for clearing the Primal Tongtian Mountain.

Sure enough, Wu Hao found what he was looking for in the 'Resource Rewards for Realm Lords' information.

The Virtual Universe Company receives the following additional rewards for clearing the Tongtian Mountain level:
1. Upon becoming a Realm Lord, you will be directly rewarded with 1 million points by passing through the 'Cosmic Level' Primal Tongtian Mountain.

2. Upon becoming a Realm Lord, you will be directly rewarded with 30 billion points by passing through the 'Domain Lord Level' Primal Tongtian Mountain.

3. Passing through the 'Lord-level' Primal Tongtian Mountain will directly reward you with 100 billion points.

"Hahaha!" Money is being distributed!
Wu Hao was instantly excited. The 'Cosmic Level' Primal Tongtian Mountain corresponds to the Law Enlightenment of the 12th level of the Tongtian Bridge, the 'Domain Lord Level' Primal Tongtian Mountain corresponds to the Law Enlightenment of the 16th level of the Tongtian Bridge, and the Realm Lord Level Primal Tongtian Mountain corresponds to the Law Enlightenment of the 20th level of the Tongtian Bridge.

Wu Hao can now break through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, a Domain Lord-level mountain, before breaking through to the Realm Lord level, and get those 3 billion points.

With these 3 billion points, he no longer needs to worry about money. His Golden Horned Beast clone and Zerg Queen clone no longer need to tighten their belts. The Alien Queen army will be invincible.

Wu Hao quickly teleported towards the Primordial Tongtian Mountain. The Primordial Tongtian Mountain has three levels: the foot of the mountain, the mountainside, and the summit. Each level is besieged by a Minotaur warrior, an ape-man psychic, and a snake-woman illusionist.

Originally, the original Tongtian Mountain was not intended for people to pass through; it was simply meant to be a high, unreachable benchmark.

However, every ten million epochs or so, a peerless genius will appear and break through the primordial Tongtian Mountain.

But for Wu Hao, a peerless genius who emerges once every ten million epochs could easily cross the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, so it was not a problem for him at all.

What he needs to do is not just pass the level, but race, race on the scale of human civilization, to cross the primitive Tongtian Mountain at the youngest age and the fastest speed.

Soon, in the Tongtian Mountain plane, on this vast land, there were only three towering mountains. On the waist of each of the three mountains were characters emitting a golden glow: Heaven and Earth, Primordial Beginning, and Primordial Era. Among them, the Primordial Tongtian Mountain was the tallest.

After Wu Hao appeared instantly, he immediately flew towards the Primordial Tongtian Mountain.

Landing at the foot of the mountain, he looked up at the towering, ancient Tongtian Mountain that reached into the clouds, then looked down at the tall minotaur who was fast asleep on a large rock not far away.

Beside the minotaur was a dark purple giant axe about six meters tall, which at first glance looked as if countless drops of blood had been condensed, making it awe-inspiring.

"Get up!" Wu Hao shouted immediately, waking the minotaur from his slumber.

"Who are you?" the minotaur asked in a simple-minded manner. "Do you intend to venture into the Primal Tongtian Mountain?"

"Nonsense!" Wu Hao immediately shouted, "I'm already here, not to conquer Tongtian Mountain, but to see you, you bull-headed monster! Quickly wake up the other two and let me see your strength!"

"Well, how dare they be so rude!" The minotaur's eyes widened, and he immediately roared, "Someone is trying to trespass on the Primal Tongtian Mountain!"

In an instant, two streaks of light came from afar, one of the ape-man mentalist and the other of the snake-woman illusionist.

As soon as the other two arrived, the bull-headed man sowed discord, saying, "Brothers, this newcomer is so rude! We must use all our strength to stop him!"

However, before the minotaur could finish speaking, the other two gatekeepers obtained Wu Hao's information and began to read it.

"Wu Hao? Three hundred and ten years old, and he's already passed the seventeenth level of the Bridge to Heaven?" The snake woman's expression changed instantly. She licked her lips and said, "So you're His Highness Wu Hao. What an honor!"

"Enough with the nonsense!" Wu Hao was unwilling to waste words with this intelligent gatekeeper, so he directly raised his Divine Light Sword and charged forward.

"Shh!"

The battle begins instantly!
The three orcs coordinated perfectly, and the snake woman's illusions and the ape-man's telekinetic weapons immediately charged towards Wu Hao.

But those illusion abilities and the strength of their mental attacks couldn't even have the slightest effect on him.

However, Wu Hao did not immediately retaliate and defeat all three of them. Instead, he immersed himself in the experience of the three's cooperation and attack rhythm.

Wu Hao quickly figured out the fighting styles of the three men, so he didn't hesitate and instantly killed them one by one.

He then immediately went to the mountainside, where the new minotaur, ape-man, and snake woman were already waiting for him.

"Wu Hao, you're quite impressive. You're the first domain lord to arrive here in a million epochs!" The snake woman's eyes seemed to hold a hint of reminiscence. "How I miss that golden age a million epochs ago!"

"Are you talking about the same year as Coty and Zhenyan?" Wu Hao knew that, because the original story said that Zhenyan and Coty were in the same year, but Coty was killed by the alien race in the end.

“Yes!” The snake woman’s eyes were filled with reminiscence. “After Corti Zhenyan, since the beginning of the Hundred Eras, there has never been another person who could cross the Bridge to Heaven.”

"Didn't Zhenyan pass?" Wu Hao asked.

“Zhen Yan attempted to break through to the Realm Lord level dozens of times, but all attempts ended in failure. Finally, he broke through and became an Immortal!” the ape-man replied to Wu Hao.

"Hahaha!" Wu Hao shook his head and said dismissively, "A mere Coty makes you all miss him so much? I'll show you what a real genius is like!"

Wu Hao made his move instantly, targeting the ape-man first. He had already figured out the three of them, and the snake woman, being an illusionist, posed no threat to him whatsoever.

The bull's speed was far slower than his; the only one who could truly rival him was the ape-man who was a mentalist.

The snake woman's illusion attack arrived quickly, but Wu Hao only paused slightly before breaking through the illusion and charging towards the ape-man. He used the laws of time to accelerate spacetime and the laws of light to speed up his body, becoming like a beam of light as he swiftly struck the ape-man's body.

"Divine light flows—infinitely!"

The light instantly became as bright as day, directly covering the ape-man's body and shattering it in an instant. In just one exchange, Wu Hao killed the ape-man, and then he attacked the snake-woman illusionist.

"Why, why doesn't my illusion work on you!" the snake woman screamed frantically as she retreated.

However, Wu Hao, who had undergone the baptism of the Hundred Reincarnation Fruit, was no less resilient than Hong. His mere illusionary attacks were simply not worthy of carrying his shoes.

"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your skills before an expert!" Wu Hao swiftly thrust again, killing the snake woman instantly. Only then did he face the bull-headed creature that was following behind, eating dust.

"The laws of time and the laws of light!" The minotaur was utterly desperate. In the trio's roles, he was the shield responsible for direct confrontation.

But once the shield can't keep up with the opponent's speed, it can't protect anything.

"Wu Hao, you are the most deadly of all the Domain Lord-level geniuses I have ever seen!" The minotaur said his evaluation of Wu Hao before he died.

After passing through the Lord-level Sky Bridge, Wu Hao looked down at the Minotaur at his feet, and then looked at the highest point of the Primal Sky Mountain.

The original Tongtian Mountain at the Realm Lord level represents the level of understanding of the laws at the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge. Even with the understanding of the laws at the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge, one still needs to be proficient in countering the combined attacks of illusionists, mentalists, and martial artists.

For Wu Hao, being an illusionist is not a problem. Should he use his Domain Lord level strength to test the methods of the Primal Tongtian Mountain, who is at the World Lord level?

Fine, let me see the difference between me and the 20th floor!
Wu Hao has never been afraid of failure. Only by feeling the gap can one bridge it. Those who are afraid of failure will never become strong.

Wu Hao quickly started walking and headed towards a higher floor.

At the summit of the Primal Tongtian Mountain, in this realm of ice and snow that has remained frozen for millennia, the Minotaur, the Ape-man, and the Snake Woman still await Wu Hao's arrival.

“A Domain Lord-level individual who dares to challenge the Realm Lord Tongtian Mountain, you are one of the most daring people in countless years.”

"Oh?" Wu Hao looked at the ape-man with a surprised expression. "Is there anyone else who can break through here with the strength of a Domain Lord?"

The ape-man nodded and said, "The Lord of Youhou is one, the Lord of Tianshi Palace is one, and you are the third!"

"Hahahaha!" Wu Hao laughed loudly. He was very satisfied to be able to glimpse the growth trajectory of these top beings in the universe and feel things beyond what was described in the original work.

"Come on, let me see your combat strength. Let me see how much of a gap there is between me now and those geniuses who have grown to the peak of the World Lord realm!"

Wu Hao instantly completed the genetic modification of his body. This modification was more thorough and could be maintained for a longer period of time. At the same time, he unleashed the power of the Seth Galaxy in his left hand and the Divine Light Sword in his right.

A sword wind, thousands of meters high, ripped through the air, covering the mountain peaks where the three orcs were located.

"Thunder World!" The ape-man instantly unleashed his power, and tens of thousands of weapons from his telekinetic weapons blotted out the entire sky, easily blocking Wu Hao's attack.

Then the snake woman's illusion attack came, and Wu Hao was instantly trapped in the illusion. His consciousness suddenly entered the world of his previous life.

He sat in front of the computer, typing away, while a thermos cup on the table vibrated with the force of the keyboard.

His mother suddenly arrived while he was writing and poured freshly heated water into his thermos.

Looking at his half-gray hair, Wu Hao suddenly felt reluctant to leave. This was the time he cherished most, when his family was in this world, even though it wasn't all that wonderful.

Unfortunately, this was not his past life, but merely an illusion he was in.

Wu Hao shattered the illusion with a wave of his hand, and immediately the minotaur's purple giant axe came crashing down on his forehead.

Accelerated by the laws of time and light, his brain barely managed to dodge the Minotaur's giant axe, only to have the ape-man's telekinetic weapon pierce his body shortly afterward.

When Wu Hao opened his eyes again, he found himself back at the foot of Tongtian Mountain. He looked up at the Tongtian Bridge, not only because of his failed exploration, but also because he lingered in the illusion.

Shaking his head, Wu Hao left the original Tongtian Mountain plane.

"I thought I had forgotten?" Looking at the countless manuals in front of him, Wu Hao regained his motivation to cultivate.

Although he had always pursued becoming stronger through cultivation, deep down he also longed to travel through endless timelines and return to the beginning of everything.

No wonder the protagonists of novels are all orphans; with family ties, it's indeed difficult for them to be satisfied with their current lives.

"Then let's break through and become a Realm Lord!"

Wu Hao closed his eyes...

At the same moment, news of Wu Hao's passage through the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Bridge and his passage through the Domain Lord-level Heavenly Bridge appeared in a council meeting.

This council meeting was specifically aimed at Wu Hao. One of the Venerables at the head of the council said, "He didn't even pass the first level of the series of assessments we gave him. How can we allow him to continue receiving intensive training from within humanity?"

"Why not? Investigate the facts yourself and then complete the task. Isn't that normal thinking? You gave him a failing grade, which affected his second task. Are you trying to eliminate such a genius?" Another Venerable immediately retorted, "If you weren't the chief and hadn't been reviewed by higher-ups, I would have reported you as an alien spy and for eliminating a genius within our human race!"

"Hmph?" The leader said angrily, "Am I wrong? The task the company assigned to Wu Hao was verified. He doesn't unconditionally trust the company. Doesn't that show that he lacks trust in humanity? Have you forgotten about the Yan God Clan?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the several elders around them changed instantly.

When the Yan God Clan rebelled, they cooperated with the alien races and killed several of them. If it weren't for that incident, the higher-ups of the virtual universe wouldn't have conducted a series of missions to assess each Primal Secret Realm-level Domain Lord.

"Does believing in might makes it real?" The Venerable One, speaking up for Wu Hao, continued his angry rebuttal. "We have all witnessed Wu Hao's missions. He has a strong affinity for humanity and has even created several secondary civilizations for his own. Doesn't that demonstrate his loyalty? Just because he questions authority, you want to eliminate such a genius who only appears once every trillion epochs? Is this the original intention of our human race in cultivating geniuses?"

The group of people in the meeting fell silent again, unsure of how to proceed.

Suddenly, one of the people in the meeting stood up and said, "Wu Hao is now a Realm Lord, so there's no point in discussing this anymore. Everyone, I'll take my leave. I won't participate in the discussion about Wu Hao anymore. Now it's up to him to see how far he can go. As for whether he will become the next Flame God, I think he has a better character than many of us, and he would never do anything to betray us!" (End of Chapter)
