High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Those five eternal beings who escaped will never return to dominate the battlefield, and the mineral veins, ruins, and lands of creation that were formed by cosmic crystals scattered throughout the battlefield were also swept clean by him.

Su Jie closed his eyes and sensed the starry sea within the system space, which was several times more magnificent than before.

The cosmic crystals have piled up into a mountain; it's a golden opportunity!

He opened his eyes, and a slow smile spread across his face.

The final gains from this epic journey through the mystical realm were far greater than he had anticipated.

Those Eternals who escaped into the safe zone thought they had escaped his slaughter, little did they know that the entrance fees they left behind had long been devoured by him, leaving not even a trace.

Su Jie gazed at the gradually calming chaotic currents in the distance, mentally taking stock of all the gains he had made during his time dominating the Xuan Realm:

His original cosmic prototype has firmly stepped into the 9 million constant force mark, reaching 9.8 million constant forces.

Needless to say, the cosmic crystals they plundered totaled over half a million top-grade cosmic crystals.

This wealth, if left untouched, would be enough to drive countless forces mad.

He didn't forget about the Soul Tempering Mirror either, and he also put that mid-grade universe treasure back into his possession.

Although it wouldn't be of much use to him, it would be nice to take it back and give it away, since Su Jie was a thrifty person.

Su Jie clenched his fist, feeling the heavy, seemingly crushing power within him, and the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.

The Primordial Ceremony wasn't completely over yet, but for him, the feast was almost ready to end.

He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the surging chaotic air currents, landing in the direction of the exit of the Mystic Realm. The next step was to leave.

However, he did not intend to let go of the female disciples of the Primordial Temple and Jiang Yue'er for the time being; they were still staying in that space deep within his primordial universe.

As for Xuan, the Daoist disciple of the Myriad Laws Holy Temple who was controlled by him using the Supreme Enslavement Talisman, he had long ago let that kid roam freely.

However, Su Jie would take away the cosmic crystals and protection fees he had accumulated every now and then, and then send him to continue scavenging.

Later, there were fewer and fewer Eternals on the battlefield, and Xuan Neng could scavenge less and less, so Su Jie simply ordered him to withdraw from the Chizha battlefield ahead of schedule.

Su Jie didn't care what Xuan would do after he left.

In any case, the seed has already been planted in the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws, and he will naturally use this chess piece when the time comes.

It doesn't matter if we don't use it; just consider it a casual move.

Even if the Lord of All Laws discovers him, it won't matter, since he's about to become the Dao Child of the Primordial Temple.

Unlike the first stage, the second stage of the Primordial Ceremony does not have the restriction of "waiting until the very end to leave".

Those five-wheeled perpetual vehicles can retire at any time, and so can he.

However, he had no intention of going out using his real identity.

Although those Eternals who escaped into the safe zone did not know what the killer looked like, nor did they know his name.

However, the points leaderboard for the Origin Ceremony is public, and the name "Su Jie" topped the leaderboard with a commanding lead in the first stage.

Although he didn't deliberately try to rack up points in the second phase, the points bonus from hunting down those five-round eternals and scavenging resources were enough to keep his name at the top of the leaderboard.

As long as he goes out under the identity of "Su Jie", anyone can recognize him as "the number one on the leaderboard" and "the one who went on a killing spree in the Xuan Realm".

He doesn't care what others think of him, but there's no need for him to cause trouble for himself.

The identity of the prospective Dao Child of the Primordial Temple is clear, but if word gets out that the Dao Child "killed millions of Eternals in the public trial," it will inevitably attract unnecessary attention.

Su Jie closed his eyes, and the power of the Void Body of Destiny spread silently.

His face softened from sharp features, he grew shorter, and his aura became more restrained and subtle.

In less than ten breaths, a middle-aged cultivator wearing an old gray robe and with an ordinary face stood in the void.

Ordinary, the kind that you wouldn't notice if you threw it into a crowd.

He stretched his shoulders, making sure that even the frequency of his spiritual fluctuations had completely changed, before he was satisfied and sped towards the exit.

As he passed through that pale golden light barrier, there was no inspection, no obstruction, and even Yongheng, who was guarding outside, didn't give him a second glance.

Su Jie mingled among the scattered contestants who had withdrawn, silently passing through the teleportation array and returning to the outer area of ​​the Primordial Temple.

He didn't linger in the square. He walked through several corridors, around several palaces, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous side hall, slipping inside.

Inside the hall is a one-way teleportation array that leads directly to the top floor of the Eternal Tower.

This was a passage specially left for him by the Lord of the Heavenly Evolution Palace, and no more than three people in the entire Primordial Holy Palace knew about it.

Su Jie stepped into the teleportation array, his figure engulfed by dark golden light.

When he reappeared, he was already standing in the familiar circular hall at the top of the Tower of Eternity.

The Lord of Tianyan Palace sat cross-legged on the futon at the head of the table, with a cup of tea floating in front of him, steam rising gently.

He didn't even lift his eyelids, his voice as flat as if he were commenting on the weather: "You're back?"

Su Jie sat down opposite him without any ceremony, picked up another cup of tea on the table, took a sip, and said casually, "You're back."

The Lord of Tianyan Palace finally raised his eyelids and looked him up and down.

His cloudy old eyes narrowed slightly, as if sensing something.

A moment later, the Heavenly Evolution Palace Master's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

He set down his teacup, a barely suppressed amusement in his voice: "You must have become the supreme ruler by now, right?"

Su Jie put down his teacup and nodded frankly: "Ninth rank."

The Heavenly Evolution Palace Master stared at him for a few moments, then shook his head, as if unsure what to say, and finally just clicked his tongue.

"Over a hundred years, while only a little over a year has passed in the outside world, you've gone from the eighth to the ninth rank. Who would believe your cultivation speed?"

He paused, then added, "After I learned about the rules of that powerful Xuan Realm, I can only say that your rules were ridiculous."

Recharging grants additional combat power boosts, which is probably why you're already far ahead of others from the start, right?

Su Jie smiled and did not deny it: "That is one of the reasons."

The Lord of Tianyan Palace didn't press further, but changed the subject: "How many top-grade cosmic crystals did you acquire inside? I'd guess at least tens of thousands, right?"

Su Jie took a sip of tea but didn't reply.

Without waiting for his reply, the Lord of Tianyan Palace continued speaking to himself:

"But I reckon no matter how much you plunder inside, you won't get as much of a share as you can from outside. Do you know how much the total betting amount has reached?"

He held up one finger, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement:

"A million, a full million top-grade cosmic crystals in total bets. According to the original agreement, your share should be a full three hundred thousand crystals."
