Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 152 The Mysteries Within the God King's Miniature Universe

At this moment, deep within the territory of the demon race.

This is a world of endless, dreamlike, colorful threads interwoven together.

Two enormous, towering figures can be vaguely seen, seemingly filling the entire universe.

"Demon Ancestor, save me!"

Beyond the colorful and vibrant realm, the divine avatar of the Lord of Sirius knelt on the ground, filled with utter terror.

The true form of the Lord of Sirius has now been suppressed within the primordial universe of the human race.

For powerful individuals outside the Hong Alliance, the initial universe of the human race was a dead end; once suppressed within it, it was no different from death.

"Two demon ancestors, Sirius cannot give up!"

The other beast, a cosmic lord with three tails, a scaly body, and a triangular head, spoke.

He is the master of the Ink Tablet, an ancient cosmic master from the same era as the master of Sirius, and the two have the deepest friendship.

However, the Lord of the Ink Tablet had slightly better talent, and after a long period of time, he became a fourth-order universe lord.

"Demon Ancestor, let's start the war! Launch a decisive battle among our clans and rescue Tianlang!"

Another ferocious beast spoke, its eyes flashing with anger.

He is the Lord of Annihilation, a hawk among the demon race, and also one of the three top fifth-tier universe lords of the demon race.

As soon as the Lord of Annihilation uttered these words, many demon race universe lords responded in kind.

The Demon Race is the most powerful among the six top races, possessing more than twenty Universe Lords. Furthermore, the Demon Race Alliance is the most powerful of all race alliances.

"We must not start a war rashly!"

The Lord of Changjiu retorted that once war broke out, the situation would be beyond the control of the demon and human races, and the Lord of Tianlang would surely die.

"Sirius, do not panic. I have already negotiated with the founder of the Giant Axe of the human race. No matter the cost, we will redeem you!"

It was the Dream Demon Ancestor who spoke, his voice carrying a touch of dreaminess, which calmed everyone present.

At this moment, another giant beast spoke up: "Sirius, tell me about the scene when you were ambushed?"

The divine avatar of the Lord of Sirius was slightly taken aback, and then quickly recounted what he had seen and heard before losing consciousness.

"So, you didn't see anyone attack you?" The Dream Demon Ancestor asked with some surprise.

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Sirius whispered, "Isn't that the creator of the giant axe?"

Zhen Yaozu shook his massive beast head: "It's not him. Ever since the confrontation outside the Ancestral Mystery, my will and that giant axe creator's will have been locked onto each other. He has always been within the territory of the human race."

The ability to instantly trap the Lord of Sirius, who possesses the protection of a high-level soul treasure, in an illusion is a terrifying level of soul mastery that no other universe lord in the entire primordial universe could achieve.

Even those top-tier fifth-order universe lords of the Soul Path couldn't possibly let the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf fall into an illusion without even seeing who his opponent was.

"It seems that the human race is likely hiding a top-tier sixth-tier soul expert. Who exactly is he?"

Generally speaking, the strength of a master of the universe is divided into five levels.

Under normal circumstances, as long as one can create a sixth-level True Mystic Technique, one can break through to become the strongest in the universe. Therefore, it is rare for a sixth-level Universe Lord to exist.

However, there are exceptions. For example, a fifth-order universe lord who possesses the most powerful treasures has sixth-order combat power.

Besides, there is an even smaller possibility: that a cosmic lord did indeed create a sixth-order secret technique, but that cosmic lord merely copied others' ideas and never forged his own path. Even if he created a sixth-order secret technique, he did not break through to the True God realm.

"Perhaps humanity will pay a price to force the strongest being in the lone universe to attack the Lord of Sirius?"

The Lord of the Universe made a curious suggestion, as they couldn't think of any human being who might have become a sixth-tier powerhouse, especially one who was a Soul Dao powerhouse.

It should be noted that long ago, after the god of war among the human race was suppressed, the human race had almost no powerful figures to speak of in the realm of the soul.

Of course, it is also possible that the human race has hidden a top-tier fifth-order soul cultivator who then obtained a supreme treasure of the soul attack type.

"You need not worry about Sirius's safety. Zhenjiao and I will negotiate with the human race."

"The most urgent task now is to find the mysterious powerful figure who attacked Sirius, and to see if he is a hidden being of the human race, or a powerful figure employed by the human race!"

The numerous cosmic lords of the demon race hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, Demon Ancestor!"

……

At this point, the initial universe.

After determining how to deal with the Lord of Sirius, the meeting of the human race came to an end.

"Shen Mu was able to capture the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf alive, which I'm afraid I couldn't do either. It would be inappropriate for him to use the identity of the Silver Sand King."

The Lord of Chaos City first glanced at the many super beings, and finally his gaze fell on Shen Mu.

If Shen Mu were to express his desire for fame now, the Lord of Chaos City would definitely choose to announce to the universe that the human race has gained a powerhouse at the level of a universe lord.

But in essence, the Lord of Chaos City still hoped that Shen Mu could continue to keep a low profile for a while.

After all, Shen Mu now is no different from a cosmic overlord when facing a super being like him who possesses the will of a true god; he is not even as good as a being like the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Mu, to this incredible, history-defying super genius.

Shen Mu pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to travel the world as a Universe Venerable, which will also help conceal my true strength."

Leaving aside the secret techniques of willpower, even the weakest Earthling, with the blessing of numerous supreme treasures, can be considered invincible below the universe's overlords.

"Very well, then I will announce that you have become the Universal Venerable in the name of the Virtual Universe Company."

The Lord of Chaos nodded slightly, then looked at the other universe lords of his race.

"I propose that, effective immediately, Shen Mu be a member of the Giant Axe Council. What are your opinions?"

"Agreed!"

"I agree!"

The leaders of the five top powers, including the Lord of Penggong and the Lord of Huangjian, were the first to express their opinions, and the other universe lords naturally agreed.

The Great Axe Conference, the highest meeting of the human race.

The meeting was convened by the founder of the Giant Axe, and attendees had to be the cosmic masters of the human race. Even the three top overlords who were barely comparable to cosmic masters were not qualified to attend the meeting.

Shen Mu was indeed an exception.

Although in terms of strength, Shen Mu had no ability to resist even the most powerful universe masters.

However, ordinary universe masters, when ambushed by Shen Mu's secret will technique, also have no ability to resist and can only be suppressed.

On April 19, 9141 Earth Calendar, Virtual Universe Corporation announced to all of humanity.

Shen Mu, the champion of the genius battle more than seven thousand years ago, comprehended the complete laws of space at the realm lord level in one fell swoop, skipping the immortal realm and directly breaking through to the universe venerable.

The birth of a cosmic sage who is less than an epoch old!

For a moment, the universe was in an uproar!

Aside from those extraordinary special life forms that are born at the level of cosmic venerables, throughout the long history, Shen Mu of the human race is the youngest super genius!

Of course, the human race reacted the most strongly to this.

In the core layer of the virtual universe, Bo Lan, Rong Jun, and others who had come from the same year of the Genius Battle as Shen Mu were greatly shocked.

Inside a manor in a primeval, secluded place, Berlan took a sip of wine.

Sitting opposite him was the carefree Rong Jun.

Rong Jun took a deep breath. Even he, who had once been full of fighting spirit, felt a sense of powerlessness: "Bolan, Shen Mu... he has become a Universe Venerable!"

Bolan did not respond to Rong Jun, but simply put down his wine glass and looked into the distance.

He remembered a sentence Shen Mu said when he first met Shen Mu during the Genius Battle.

"Those whom I surpass will not be considered my rivals!"

After a long while, Bolan finally came to his senses and said, "I plan to break through to the Realm Lord level. Luo Feng broke through two thousand years ago, so I can't delay any longer."

Rong Jun laughed heartily: "Alright, if we can't catch up with Shen Mu, we can't possibly fail to catch up with Luo Feng either, can we?"

……

As the protagonist of this hot topic, Shen Mu had already left the territory of the human race.

To be precise, it means leaving the original universe.

This is a miniature universe, and Shen Mu and Puti's figures move through the endless chaotic mist.

"Third junior brother, this shouldn't be your first time seeing a miniature universe, right?"

Looking around at Shen Mu, Puti said with a smile.

Shen Mu withdrew his gaze and explained, "This isn't my first time visiting Teacher's miniature universe."

Actually, Shen Mu mainly wanted to see how the small universe architecture of the Mountain Dwellers differed from the initial universe of the human race.

As a time traveler, Shen Mu was well aware that the architecture of a miniature universe would have a significant impact on its future potential.

But now it seems that the small universe of the Mountain Dweller is quite ordinary, and there doesn't seem to be much difference between it and the initial universe.

At the very center of the miniature world, a strange mountain peak floats, which is the palace-type treasure commonly used by those who sit on the mountain.

When the Mountain Hermit makes an appearance in public, he always sits on this mountain peak, hence the name.

hum!

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the void, and then a divine incarnation of the Mountain-Sitting Guest emerged.

"Did you bring the Calamity Treasure Gold?" The Mountain Guest asked Shen Mu.

Shen Mu quickly took out the Calamity Treasure Gold and said, "Teacher, I've brought it."

"Just wait, this time I'll forge you a truly supreme and powerful armor."

"Also, there are some carvings on my mountain peak. You can study them and learn something from them. They will be of great benefit to your future creation of secret techniques."

After finishing speaking, the Mountain Guest disappeared from the spot and returned to the Northern Snowstorm Domain of the Cosmic Sea to continue refining treasures for Shen Mu.

Deep within the Northern Snowstorm Domain lies a wondrous, extremely cold yet yang-transforming fire, capable of burning even true gods to death. It is also the location where the Mountain-Sitting Guest usually refines his most precious treasures.

"Special engraving?"

Shen Mu's expression changed slightly, and then he instantly teleported to the mountain peak.

The summit is a flat area with a diameter of tens of kilometers, on which stands a special palace.

The palace was made of an unknown material, and it was engraved with countless mysterious and mysterious patterns, making it look quite chaotic.

"This is... a secret technique for the soul?"

Shen Mu could tell at a glance that this secret technique contained the complete mysteries of the two laws of space and time, and was at least a secret technique of the level of a universe master.

However, given Shen Mu's current level of understanding, he obviously cannot determine what level of secret technique this is.

The entire divine palace is covered with countless engraved patterns, each pattern representing a soul secret technique at the level of a cosmic master.

"Master Zuoshanke asked me to comprehend these secret methods, which probably has some profound meaning."

In the original story, the Mountain-Sitting Guest took Luo Feng to the small universe of the Starry Sky Beast Ancestor to study the special secret pattern diagram, allowing Luo Feng to obtain the essence of the secret pattern diagram lineage and greatly improve his mastery of secret techniques.

I wonder if the secret patterns carved into the soul path that Master Zuoshanke made him comprehend are also the legendary secret patterns.

Shen Mu stared at the secret runes, his mind completely absorbed in them.

In the dim light, Shen Mu seemed to see a cosmic ruler of unknown kind, whose form resembled a human, fighting against countless powerful beings of the same realm.

The figure merely glanced at them, and countless powerful individuals of the same realm lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

"Is this a secret technique for impacting willpower?"

"No, this is not a simple mind-impact technique, but a technique that combines soul illusion and will-impact."

"Could the secret techniques of willpower impact also exist in the primordial universe?"

Shen Mu thought that even the Thunder Beast God had an innate talent for willpower impact, so the primordial universe must have allowed such secret techniques to exist.

The original universe was limited to roughly two things: first, it had to abide by the rules governing the universe.

For example, the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is a technique that overturns the rules of the universe and limits the genetic restrictions to a level a hundred times greater than that of a universe master.

Another possibility is a limitation on realms, which would prevent the existence of any secret techniques that transcend the realm of true gods.

Clearly, this secret technique of the soul and will is not restricted by either of them.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Shen Mu finally snapped out of his daze amidst the mysterious runes.

These runes were not a secret technique inheritance; they merely showed Shen Mu some images of secret techniques being performed, without any actual content of the secret technique.

However, it seems that something deeper is hidden.

Shen Mu's gaze fell on another secret pattern diagram.

Similarly, Shen Mu saw a special scene: another strange life form was performing a secret technique, also a technique of will.

There are nine such special carvings in total. Each carving seems chaotic, yet it is as if they are statues of nine powerful beings.

……

The cosmic sea, the snowy mist domain of Beihua.

At the center of the endless chaotic currents, a blizzard rages, and the frigid temperatures are so extreme they can freeze even the ruler of the universe.

But in the very center of this low-temperature region, there is a special flame burning with nothingness.

Pong!

Flames surged violently, and under the control of the Mountain-Sitting Guest, molten orange gold liquid was being forged into a strange suit of armor.

"The secret was discovered in such a short time."

The mountain dweller gazed into the distance, where his miniature universe resided.

"It will take 10 billion years. If you can figure it out, you will; if you can't, then there's nothing I can do."

The secret patterns on that mystical palace were not some secret technique created by the Mountain-Sitting Guest, but rather secret patterns on the bodies of powerful mythical beasts from the Origin Continent.

The powerful beasts selected by the Mountain Dweller are all super beings favored by the origin of the soul.

Although born as the Lord of the Universe, one can become a Void God upon reaching adulthood. With a little effort, one can comprehend some of the mysteries of the source of the soul and step into the realm of an Eternal God.

"What I teach is ultimately not as good as what you figured out yourself."

"I hope that you can glean the secrets hidden within the rules of the universe from these fundamental mysteries."

The carving patterns left by the mountain dweller were naturally complete, but what Shen Mu saw were only incomplete ones.

Any information or lineage that involves something beyond the true God is subject to the highest rules and can only be accessed through special means.
