Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Hundred-leaf star.

This planet is home to approximately five billion people; it is just an ordinary life-bearing planet within the Black Dragon Mountain star system.

Rumble~
An invisible spacetime fluctuation descended, and a majestic figure radiating boundless pressure appeared in the outer space of Baiye Star.

"This planet... is the homeland of King Panwu?"

The Lord of Chaos City stood in the void, his divine power sweeping across the azure planet, a thoughtful expression on his face.

No one could have imagined that the Chaos City Lord, who struck fear into the hearts of countless alien powerhouses in the universe, would appear on an ordinary life-bearing planet where the strongest beings were only at the Domain Lord level.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
In the outer space of Baiye Star, countless spaceships come and go, and hundreds of probes are scattered throughout the void.

However, when these spaceships and probes faced the Lord of Chaos City, they all ignored him and flew past him without paying any attention.

"what?"

"This planet is interesting."

The Lord of Chaos City showed surprise, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through endless space and land on Hundred Leaf Star.

……

Hundred-leaf star.

An ordinary life-bearing planet located in the Heilongshan star field, in the Lanshan star system.

There are 32 cities on this planet, each with a population of over 100 million. The main ethnic groups are the Kree and the Mor.

On Baiye Star, Panwu City is a city named after the cosmic super-strongman "Panwu King," and it is also the political, economic, and cultural center of the entire planet.

At this moment.

Panwu No.1 Middle School, Class 7, Grade 12.

"Hurry up! It's our class's turn for the martial arts test!"

A bald, middle-aged man dressed in black, exuding the aura of a third-tier stellar level, spoke solemnly.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
One by one, a group of young boys dressed in loose white school uniforms, who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, ran towards the martial arts building, which was thousands of meters high, at an average speed of 100 meters per second.

"Old Zhang, your Class 7 has a few promising students this year."

"Looks like you're about to make it big!"

A young man wearing a fiery red robe and with three jet-black scales on his forehead stepped forward.

His name is Hongyan, and he is the homeroom teacher of Class 3, Grade 12.

"Hehe! There are a few promising talents."

"However... the requirements for the Hongmeng Dojo are too high!"

"If even one of these brats becomes a formal member of the Hongmeng Dojo, we'll be thanking the heavens!"

Zhang Wu, the homeroom teacher of Class 7, Grade 12, shook his head and said.

The Hongmeng Dojo is the undisputed number one power in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, and the ultimate martial arts holy land that all martial artists yearn for!
The Hongmeng Daoist Academy has established branches on every inhabited planet, which are divided into five levels according to their importance.

Level 5 branches, also known as grassroots branches, are the most numerous and widely distributed. Basically, a city needs to set up dozens or even hundreds of Level 5 branches.

The fourth-level branch is set up on average on one planet, with the strongest being a cosmic-level peak-level commander.
Three-level branches are set up on average, one for every few thousand planets, with the strongest having a peak Domain Lord level officer in charge.
Second-level branches, averaging one per star system, with the strongest being at the peak of the Realm Lord level;
Each first-level branch is established on average in every hundred star systems, and the strongest branch is overseen by an immortal.

Above the first-level branch is the headquarters of the Hongmeng Dojo, located on the Ancient Origin Star, which is almost a legendary existence.

At this moment, the "official members of the dojo" that Zhang Wu and Hongyan were discussing actually referred to the official members of the fifth-level branch of the Hongmeng dojo.

"pity!"

"If I had become an elite member of the Beiye District Dojo branch back then, I wouldn't be here as a high school homeroom teacher."

Hongyan's tone carried a hint of regret.

Throughout the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, all citizens must begin receiving martial arts education after they turn six years old.

Six years of primary school, ten years of middle school, and fourteen years of university, totaling thirty years.

These thirty years of education are compulsory, and participation is mandatory regardless of whether it is voluntary or not.

After graduating from university at the age of thirty-six, the most outstanding martial artists will be recruited by the Hongmeng Dojo.

As for others, they can choose to continue on the path of martial arts, or they are free to choose to engage in other industries.

Thirty years of compulsory education may seem like a long time, but if it were on Earth in the past, one would be middle-aged by the time they graduated from university.

In reality, the bloodlines of citizens in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield have already been elevated to the fifth rank, which is the peak of the adult planetary level.

What is this concept?
Citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region can break through to the Stellar level and have a lifespan of ten thousand years with just a little effort in cultivation.

Even if it doesn't reach the star level, planetary level planets still have a lifespan of a thousand years.

A mere thirty years...

For the citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, it's not even considered early childhood.

Moreover, during these thirty years of compulsory education, the basic resources, secret techniques, teachers, and so on required for cultivation by each individual are all provided free of charge by the Hongmeng Dojo, so individuals do not need to spend any extra money.

After graduating from university, such good things won't happen again.

About an hour later.

Zhang Wu stood at the entrance of the martial arts building, feeling slightly uneasy.

creak~
At that moment, the metal doors of the martial arts hall opened, and a tall, white-clad young man exuding a fierce aura strode out.

"Master Ye, have the results come out yet?"

Zhang Wu quickly stepped forward, his attitude very respectful, and asked cautiously.

The white-robed youth before them, though only at the Stellar level, possessed an aura that had already reached the peak of the Stellar level, as if he might break through at any moment.

Of course, besides his strength, what is even more intriguing is the identity of the young man in white.

He is one of the three deputy masters of the Hongmeng Dojo in the northern Ye District of Panwu City!

"Zhang Wu, your class did well this time; three students passed the assessment."

"Once the Hongmeng Dojo has verified and confirmed the contribution points, they will be credited to your account."

The young man in white said casually.

"Yes Yes!"

"Thank you very much, Master Ye!"

Excitement gleamed in Zhang Wu's eyes.

Contribution points are the universal currency within the Hongmeng Dojo, and can be exchanged for many precious treasures, secret manuals, and so on.

Many treasures in the Primordial Treasury cannot be bought with money in the outside world!

At this very moment, in outer space of Baiye Star.

"Martial arts for all..."

"The Venerable Hongmeng certainly has a grand vision!"

The Lord of Chaos City withdrew his gaze, nodded slightly, and a look of approval flashed in his eyes.

He didn't linger and went to several other inhabited planets in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, only to find that they were all in the same situation as Baiye Star.

All citizens here are born equal and enjoy basic martial arts education.

As long as you have enough talent, you can be discovered and given the best training.

The laws here protect every citizen; even a realm lord cannot kill an ordinary planetary-level life form at will.
As for the slave trade, space pirates, and the like, they would be immediately wiped out by the powerful figures of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple as soon as they appeared.

"No wonder the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region could produce a peerless genius like King Panwu."

“The Venerable Hongmeng has indeed invested a great deal of resources in the discovery and cultivation of geniuses.”

The Lord of Chaos City walked through several inhabited planets, and couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

From the bottom of his heart, he highly approves of Ye Xingkong's governance philosophy.

It can be said that the current Black Dragon Mountain Starfield is the future blueprint for the Chaos City Lord to govern the human race.

However, ideals are full and reality is skinny.

Today, the "survival of the fittest" model is still the main principle followed by the entire human race.

If a weak race is discovered by a cosmic civilization, the entire race may be enslaved or even wiped out.

The strong possess absolute power and can destroy a planet and billions of lives without facing punishment.
Those beings whose strength doesn't reach the planetary level don't even have basic civil rights;

...This cruel and bloody "dark forest" model is actually a consensus reached by the highest levels of humanity.

Even if he is the Lord of Chaos City, it won't change anything.

After all, Ye Xingkong's "martial arts for all" model consumes far too many resources.

With the resources available to humankind, it is simply impossible to support such a large population.

If "martial arts for all" were to be promoted in reality, it would also face enormous resistance.

After all, among humanity's super-strongest individuals are many great beings who are passionate about killing, believing that only brutal competition to the death can forge true powerhouses.

It is almost impossible to suddenly restrict their behavior now.

……

The next few days.

As the Lord of Chaos City walked through the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, passing by numerous inhabited planets, he saw scenes of peace and prosperity.

He had a vague premonition that perhaps this small star field would produce more and more powerful individuals in the future.

Finally, he arrived at the Ancient Origin Star.

swoosh~
The moment the figure of the Chaos City Lord appeared in the void, the scene before him shocked him.

"This is……"

The Lord of Chaos City stood in the void, gazing at the vast starry sky before him.

A huge, dreamlike planet floated in the void, surrounded by eighty-one azure stars.

These eighty-one stars appear to be just ordinary life-bearing planets, each home to hundreds of billions of living beings.

However, the Lord of Chaos City could see that each of these stars was a top-tier treasure!
Eighty-one stars moved randomly in the starry sky, seemingly connected by an invisible stellar force, and could subtly control the surrounding spacetime.

"The combined power of eighty-one top-tier treasures is probably no less than that of a supreme treasure!"

"Huh! This Ancient Origin Star itself is actually a top-tier palace-type treasure?"

The Lord of Chaos City was genuinely surprised this time.

It should be noted that the strength that Venerable Hongmeng has displayed to the outside world is only comparable to that of an ordinary Universe Venerable.

How could an ordinary cosmic venerable possibly possess two supreme treasures?
"This Venerable Hongmeng is quite well hidden!"

The Lord of Chaos City thought to himself.

However, what surprised him even more was yet to come.

Suddenly, a gray streak of light flew out from within the ancient star, and upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a young man dressed in a silver robe.

The Lord of Chaos City pondered for a moment, then swept his vast divine power across the area.

"This young man is only a little over ten thousand years old, yet he is already a peak Realm Lord."

"Could he be a super genius trained by the Hongmeng Dojo?"

The Lord of Chaos City harbored doubts.

The young man flew rapidly, heading directly towards the Lord of Chaos City.

The Lord of Chaos City stood motionless, watching silently.

As the sovereign of the universe, if he didn't want to be discovered, even a cosmic venerable wouldn't be able to find him, let alone a mere realm lord.

however……

The silver-robed youth flew to a spot not far from the Chaos City Lord, stopped abruptly, and then respectfully bowed in front of him.

"Ye Qing pays respects to the Lord of Chaos City."

"My father invites you to have a chat on the ancient star."

Ye Qing bowed slightly and spoke in a manner that was neither humble nor arrogant.

The Lord of Chaos City fell silent for a moment.

"A mere Realm Lord could detect me? No, it must be the work of Venerable Hongmeng!"

The Lord of Chaos City was surprised, but outwardly remained calm and said, "Lead the way!"

"Yes!"

Ye Qing nodded, then turned and flew towards the Ancient Origin Star.

After a while.

Ye Qing and the Lord of Chaos City arrived at a floating island.

The island is dotted with palaces stretching endlessly, but the most striking feature is an enormous, towering tree whose canopy appears to be hundreds of thousands of kilometers wide.

Beneath the ancient tree, two figures, one in black and one in white, were playing chess.

"Lord City Lord, my father is just ahead."

Ye Qing pointed to the big tree and smiled.

The Lord of Chaos City nodded, and looking into the distance, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

brush!
With a single step, he appeared beneath the ancient tree as if the stars had shifted.

"Greetings, Lord of Chaos City!"

"Greetings to the Lord of Chaos City!"

The two who were playing chess slowly stood up, smiled at each other, and bowed to the Lord of Chaos City.

The Lord of Chaos City nodded, his gaze first falling on Ye Xingkong's true form.

"Hongmeng Venerable... wait, you've broken through?"

The Lord of Chaos City was slightly surprised.

Although Ye Xingkong possesses the title of Universe Venerable, he is actually only a King of Immortality, which is not a secret to the outside world.

Now it seems that he has probably already broken through to the level of a Universe Venerable.

"It was just a lucky breakthrough thousands of years ago."

Ye Xingkong nodded and smiled.

"Ah."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded slowly and said, "With your talent, the level of the Universe Venerable should not have trapped you."

"How strong are you now?"

The Lord of Chaos asked with some curiosity.

Ye Xingkong smiled and said, "It's a secret. The city lord will naturally find out soon."

"Well, I'll wait and see!"

The Lord of Chaos City laughed heartily, but didn't seem to care too much.

It's normal for powerful beings to have their own secrets in the universe.

Moreover, Ye Xingkong is neither a member of the five major powers nor has he received much training from his clan, so in theory, the Lord of Chaos City has no authority over him.

Then, the Lord of Chaos City turned his gaze to another man in black, a very complicated expression on his face.

"Should I address you as King Panwu, or Venerable Divine Axe?"

The Lord of Chaos asked with a smile.

"I never expected the city lord to be able to find this place."

Panwu's clone cupped his hands in greeting, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

He did not deny it, which clearly confirmed the Chaos City Lord's guess.

"If it weren't for the Blood Demon Celestial Venerable's reminder, I would never have imagined that the famous Divine Axe Venerable was actually a powerful figure of my human race."

"The divine axe was hidden very well!"

The Lord of Chaos City glanced meaningfully at Pan Wu's clone, his tone slightly wistful.

Over the past few hundred years, he has devoted a great deal of effort to finding the Divine Axe Master.

Unexpectedly, what seemed so far away was actually right before our eyes.

The Divine Axe Venerable was actually the newly crowned invincible "King Panwu" of his virtual universe company! (End of Chapter)
