My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

As Meng Chuan felt the surging power brought about by the perfect fusion of the four laws, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Fifteen thousand years of arduous cultivation have finally led to today's breakthrough!

He stood up, stretched his limbs, and was about to leave the wooden house when he heard Yan Qing's excited voice from outside:

"Teacher! Congratulations on successfully integrating the four principles of perfection!"

Meng Chuan pushed open the door and saw Yan Qing standing outside, her face beaming with genuine joy.

"You're not bad either. Your spatial laws are already perfected, and fusion is just a matter of time." Meng Chuan nodded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yan Qing gave a wry smile: "Teacher, please don't try to comfort me. Although I have comprehended the laws of space to perfection, I don't know how long it will take to integrate them into the three laws that have already been fused together."

Just as Meng Chuan was about to speak, he suddenly sensed an aura slowly approaching from outside the valley.

He recognized that aura—Tapah!

A moment later, Tapana's enormous body, composed of black crystals, appeared at the entrance to the valley.

It didn't barge in directly, but stopped at the valley entrance, its three purple eyes looking at Meng Chuan with a rare hint of politeness in its tone:

"Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan, congratulations on successfully fusing the fourth law, and it is even the top-tier law of space."

Tapa paused for a moment, then continued, "Congratulations on making it onto the Extraterrestrial Demon Ranking. To be honest, this is the first time I've ever heard of this ranking."

Meng Chuan nodded slightly: "Fellow Daoist Tapa, you're too kind."

Tapa was silent for a moment, then said, "Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan, you have now broken through and your strength has reached a new level. If you feel that I am in your way and do not want me to continue cultivating here, I can leave."

It spoke frankly, as if it were simply stating a fact.

Meng Chuan understood.

Tapa is using a strategy of retreat as a means of advancement.

The other party knew that with his current strength, if he really wanted to monopolize the Void Rift, there was nothing it could do.

Rather than waiting for him to ask you to leave, it's better to take the initiative yourself; that way, you can save face for him.

However, Meng Chuan had no intention of taking over the place for himself.

"Fellow Daoist Tapa, you are overthinking it." Meng Chuan waved his hand. "We agreed to share this place back then, and naturally we won't go back on our word now. Fellow Daoist, please continue your cultivation here."

A hint of surprise flashed in Tapa's three purple eyes.

It had assumed that Meng Chuan would likely drive it away after his breakthrough.

After all, this Void Rift Valley is an excellent place to comprehend the laws of space. If it were in its own possession, it would not have been willing to share it with the master and disciple unless it was unable to overpower them.

Unexpectedly, Meng Chuan was so magnanimous.

"Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan has a broad mind; Tapa admires him." Tapa's tone was now more sincere.

Meng Chuan smiled and then said, "Fellow Daoist Tapa, I have a favor to ask of you."

Tapa asked, "Fellow Daoist, please speak."

Meng Chuan glanced at Yan Qing and then said, "I may have to go out for a while. My disciple will stay here to continue his cultivation. I hope Fellow Daoist Tapa can help look after him."

Upon hearing this, Tapa readily agreed without hesitation: "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, as long as I, Tapa, am here, I will never allow anyone to disturb your disciple's cultivation."

Meng Chuan nodded: "Thank you."

Tapa exchanged a few more pleasantries, his gaze lingering on Meng Chuan for a moment before he suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."

Meng Chuan: "Fellow Daoist, please speak."

Tapa said, "I saw on that list that your origin is listed as 'Primordial World/Hongmeng Universe,' making you the only one among the ten with two origins. May I ask if you could enlighten me?"

It paused, then added, "If it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer."

Meng Chuan was silent for a moment, then said, "This is a long story. I was born in the Hongmeng Universe, but I attained the Dao of Hunyuan in the Primordial World, and was later teleported here by the Great Dao of the Primordial World."

"Before coming to the Divine Realm, I returned to the Primordial Universe, and the Great Dao of the Primordial Universe knew that I had broken through. Perhaps that is why the list includes both worlds as my origins."

Upon hearing this, Tapa nodded thoughtfully: "I see. Your experiences are quite legendary."

It didn't ask any further questions, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then took its leave.

After Tapa left, Yan Qing asked, "Teacher, are you going out? Are you going to find Senior Houtu?"

Meng Chuan nodded: "Besides searching for her, I know very little about this so-called divine realm. I want to take advantage of this time to explore it thoroughly and find out the truth about this world."

Yan Qing immediately said, "Teacher, I'll go with you!"

Meng Chuan shook his head: "You stay here and focus on your cultivation. Strive to successfully integrate the spatial laws as soon as possible."

Yan Qing was somewhat reluctant: "But..."

Meng Chuan interrupted her: "You've fused three laws, which is quite good, but you're not top-tier in the Divine Realm yet. I hope you'll have improved by the time I return."

Yan Qing was silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "Then please be careful, teacher."

Meng Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry. With my current strength, even if I encounter one of the top six on the Extraterrestrial Demon Ranking, I can at least protect myself, even if I'm no match for them."

He wasn't being arrogant when he said that.

With the fusion of four top-tier laws and the possession of the Chaos Treasure, the Heaven-Opening Axe, his strength has undergone a qualitative leap!

After arranging everything, Meng Chuan left the Void Rift Valley and embarked on a journey to explore the Divine Realm.

……

Meanwhile, in another corner of the divine realm.

On a desolate gray plain, a solitary stone mountain stands.

At the foot of the rocky mountain, there is a simple cave dwelling.

Inside the cave, a woman dressed in a pale yellow dress was sitting cross-legged.

She was stunningly beautiful, with a cool and aloof demeanor, and a faint trace of melancholy between her brows, as if nothing could stir her emotions.

It was Houtu.

At this moment, she was looking at the golden list in her mind, her gaze fixed on the seventh place.

"Meng Chuan..."

She murmured the name, her voice carrying a complex emotion.

Those eyes, which were originally indifferent and aloof, finally showed a hint of unease.

"He has actually arrived in this myriad realms... the Divine Realm?"

Houtu murmured to herself, her tone carrying a hint of surprise, as well as an undisguised joy.

She had been in the Divine Realm for many years, searching for a way to leave and for Yan Qing's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, I learned about Meng Chuan's whereabouts in this way.

"The Law of Power, the Law of Slaughter, the Law of Destruction, the Law of Space... a fusion of four top-tier laws, ranked seventh..."

Hou Tu looked at Meng Chuan's information on the list, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"He's grown up so fast."

She was silent for a moment, then stood up, walked to the entrance of the cave, and looked up into the distance.

"Since you're here too, we'll meet again sooner or later."

Her voice was still cool, but it had gained some warmth.
