Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 185 Dialogue with the Primal Universe Will

Earth, late at night.

On the banks of the Beidaihe River, a bonfire crackled, and four people sat around it.

One of them was a tall man with short, black hair, and a faint light flickered in his deep eyes, as if reflecting all things in the world.

Beside him stood a bald man in a white robe, with a smile on his face and a Zen-like air, creating a strange sense of harmony and resonance with the universe.

Sitting opposite the two were Shen Mu and Luo Feng.

Shen Mu laughed and said, "The famous Illusionary Heart King invited me out, so it's to treat me to barbecue?"

Thor, standing to the side, let out a grotesque laugh, shattering the serene harmony between heaven and earth, and said, "That's right, that's right, Brother Hong, hurry up and sell your treasured spear and buy the most precious divine wine!"

Hong glanced at Thor and said, "Even treating you to a meal can't shut you up."

Luo Feng couldn't help but chuckle: "Second Brother, after all these years, you're still as carefree as ever."

Thor shook his head and explained, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it, buddy. I call it a childlike heart. Do you even understand the value of a childlike heart...?"

"Oh, so you're still focused on your mental state. That's alright then."

Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and he said, "I don't understand the value of a pure heart, but I do understand the value of being a master of the universe."

As he spoke, Luo Feng clenched his fist, and the restrained power of the laws emanated a powerful pressure, instantly making Thor put away his smug face.

Seeing Thor get the short end of the stick, Shen Mu and Hong exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

It has been more than 115,000 years since the four brothers last ate together in real life.

In other words, the four brothers have never met in real life since the end of the Genius Battle.

While gatherings of two or three people are common, this is the first time in over 100,000 years that four brothers have sat together.

As time passed, Hong and Lei Shen lived up to expectations, breaking through to the Immortal Realm one after another, becoming one of the few invincible kings among the human race capable of rivaling the cosmic sovereigns.

Fighting against a cosmic being and escaping from the clutches of a cosmic being are two different things.

"Alright, alright, try the barbecue on Earth today. The quality of the meat is several levels better than it was back then."

In the dead of night, the campfire burned brightly, and the four brothers drank heartily, as if they had been transported back to that era.

The Earth today seems to have reverted to ancient times; at first glance, there is no trace of technology or metropolitan areas.

The cities are like ancient cities from ancient China, perfectly integrated into the natural environment.

As times change, so do the aspirations of people on Earth.

Today, Earth has become a sacred place for humanity in the universe, standing alongside the primordial universe. It no longer pursues so-called cosmic culture, which is why it is what it is today.

"Um?"

Luo Feng, who was eating skewers, changed his expression slightly and looked at Shen Mu, saying, "Senior Brother, the Ancestral God Sect is looking for you."

With a thought, a black Ancestral God Token appeared in Shen Mu's mind.

This was the Ancestral God Token that I obtained from the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds when I was the Silver Sand King, and now I have also received a message from the Ancestral God Sect.

Clearly, although the Purple-Haired Bandit Venerable did not reveal Shen Mu's identity, he did inform the three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect.

"Interesting. A mission personally issued by the original cosmic will. I roughly know what the mission is."

Upon hearing Shen Mu's words, Hong and Lei Shen remained calm, but Luo Feng appeared somewhat nervous.

Because Luo Feng truly understood some information about the original universe's will, the strongest being of the human race back then, the Primordial Ancestor, was suppressed by the original universe.

Shen Mu waved his hand and said, "It's not a big problem. I'll send the Azure Dragon clone to make the trip. It'll be good for him to stay at the Ancestral God Sect for a while and prepare to break through to the Universe Lord level."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng nodded slightly, his expression calming down, while Hong and Lei Shen seemed somewhat surprised.

Those below the level of the Lord of the Universe naturally knew nothing about Shen Mu.

"Amu, are you still the Supreme Being of the Universe?" Thor couldn't help but ask.

In Thor's understanding, a super genius like Shen Mu, even if he reaches the level of a universe master, can fight across realms and kill the strongest beings in the universe.

What neither Hong nor Lei Shen expected was that, to this day, Shen Mu and Luo Feng are still both Universe Venerables.

To date, no true ruler of the universe has been born among humankind on Earth.

"Try to understand, it's normal for geniuses to fight against opponents of higher levels."

……

On the other side, in the primordial universe.

In the endless chaotic mist, a true dragon, 100,000 kilometers long, slowly poked its head out, and then its figure flickered and transformed into human form.

A magnificent and imposing set of exquisite chainmail adorned the Azure Dragon clone, faintly radiating an aura comparable to that of a true cosmic ruler.

Although the Azure Dragon clone possessed a divine body, it was only at the level of a universe overlord with a gene count a hundred times higher.

However, with the tenfold amplification from the "Body Transformation into the Universe" secret technique, coupled with the enhancement of his own armor, he was finally comparable to the divine body of a true nascent cosmic master.

Yes, the exquisite chainmail worn by the Azure Dragon clone is a product similar to the Calamity Armor and the Divine Armor, capable of amplifying its own divine power.

This armor is the first top-tier treasure armor that Shen Mu personally crafted. Although it can amplify divine power, its effect is capped at the level of a hundred times the gene power of a universe master.

Not to mention it can't compare to the Divine Armor, it's even stronger than the Calamity Armor that Shen Mu personally crafted.

call out!

A flash of cyan-gold divine light appeared, and the Azure Dragon clone vanished from its spot, heading straight for the primordial universe.

……

A moment later, Shen Mu arrived at the location of the Ancestral Mystic Realm.

Zijing Island, the majestic Ancestral Temple.

As soon as Shen Mu entered the palace, the young Ancestral God, whom he had met once before, was waiting for him.

"Founder of Hunyuan, please be seated."

The young Ancestral God stood up and then gestured for Shen Mu to sit opposite him.

Shen Mu, without any hesitation, took his seat and looked at the Ancestral God before him, asking, "May I ask what business the Ancestral God has with me?"

The young Ancestral God laughed and said, "May I ask the founder of Hunyuan, would you be willing to become an outer member of my Ancestral God Sect?"

As he spoke, the young ancestral god waved his hand, and a bottle of extremely precious water and fire fruit wine appeared on the table in front of the two of them.

Then the young ancestral god personally poured wine for Shen Mu.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu replied directly, "Back when I was still the Silver Sand King, I was already an outer member of the Ancestral God Sect, wasn't I?"

The young Ancestral God waved his hand: "Times have changed. After all, apart from my Ancestral God Sect, other races do not know that the Silver Sand King of yesteryear is now the founder of Hunyuan."

Shen Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Back then, the Ancestral God Sect treated me quite well. Since the Ancestral God has invited me, I will join the outer circle of the Ancestral God Sect as the founder of Hunyuan."

"Hahaha, from this day forward, the founder of Hunyuan will be the protector of the true god of our religion!"

As he spoke, a crystal token appeared in front of Shen Mu. This was the highest-level Ancestral God Token, which had previously only been possessed by the three Ancestral Gods.

Shen Mu spoke up, "Now it's time for the Ancestral God to speak. The will of the Primordial Universe has issued me a task. What is this task?"

The young Ancestral God spoke up, "Does the Primordial True God know that the Founder of the Black Universe has fallen?"

Shen Mu was somewhat surprised: "They fell so quickly? I thought they wouldn't fall for another one or two eras."

These words caused the young ancestral god's expression to change slightly.

"Does the True God of Hunyuan know some inside information?"

A carefree smile appeared on Shen Mu's face: "I may know more than the will of the primordial universe, such as the great catastrophe that is being gestated in the dark land of the Peak Realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, a vast and immense pressure descended upon them.

The young Ancestral God was so shocked that he couldn't speak. What exactly was this so-called cataclysmic calamity? It actually caused the great will of the universe to descend upon us personally.

Shen Mu had assumed that by revealing some information about the Beasts of the Realm, the will of the Primal Universe would communicate directly with him.

As a result, the will of this primordial universe descended for only a moment before completely fading away.

The young Ancestral God seemed to have received some information, and looked at Shen Mu with a solemn expression.

"True God of Hunyuan, I won't waste any more words."

"According to the command of the primordial universe's will, as long as the Primordial True God can kill the Zhenjia King, the Haolei Star Lord, and the Qiuyan Ancestral God who betrayed the Universe Sea, he can obtain an extremely powerful treasure."

Shen Mu looked uninterested: "Killing a powerful True God comparable to the Founder of the Giant Axe, a mere supreme treasure isn't enough."

The young Ancestral God thought Shen Mu would agree immediately, but he didn't expect this answer in the end.

"True God of Chaos, you also know something about the Great Cataclysm of Destruction."

"This is not a calamity for one person or one thing, but a catastrophe that will overturn the entire universe, and no one can remain unaffected."

"King Zhenjia and the other two are mere pawns who have joined the Great Calamity of Destruction. That's why we're on the same side."

Shen Mu laughed and said, "Ancestral God, you don't need to bluff me. The Primordial Universe also knows that my teacher is the Mountain Hermit. I have the confidence to protect the entire human race and not fear the great calamity of destruction."

As the young ancestral god hesitated, his expression suddenly changed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The great will of the universe has granted your request and can now give you an extremely powerful treasure."

"Once the True God of Chaos kills these three lackeys who have sided with the Great Calamity of Destruction, he will be able to obtain the second supreme treasure."

Shen Mu nodded without hesitation and said, "Alright, I want the first treasure now, and it has to be an axe-type treasure."

The young Ancestral God's expression was somewhat unnatural. He hadn't expected that this Primordial Creator would actually make demands of the great will of the universe.

To his surprise, the great cosmic will directly agreed to Shen Mu's request.

"Alright, the Primordial God can now travel to Primordial Star No. 07041. When the Primordial God arrives, the treasure you requested will be born directly."

……

A moment later, Shen Mu left the Ancestral God Temple and then glanced back at the Ancestral God Sect's secret realm.

This time, they want two supreme treasures as payment for killing King Zhenjia and his two companions.

Only after the true prelude to the Great Calamity of the Beasts has begun will it be time to start making demands.

call out!

In the next instant, Shen Mu's figure vanished from the spot.

Just moments later, Shen Mu teleported countless times, his figure appearing before the entrance passage of Primal Star No. 07041.

As Shen Mu stepped in, he arrived directly on a terrifying star with endless surging magma.

Boom!

Seemingly sensing Shen Mu's arrival, the entire Primordial Star seemed to boil, with countless seas of magma surging and the temperature soaring.

"What's going on!"

"What terrifying pressure from this supreme treasure! It's far greater than the commotion caused by the birth of the Qi Divine Temple. Could it be that an ultimate treasure is about to be born?"

Countless powerful individuals exploring the original planet numbered 07041 were alarmed, as the terrifying pressure of the treasure made everyone feel an intense heat that threatened to annihilate their souls.

It must be said that this group's guess was quite accurate.

Just moments later, a colossal divine axe, approximately 10 billion kilometers long, flew out from the core of this primordial star.

On the fiery red divine axe, endless divine light surged, and intricate flame patterns intertwined, as if reflecting a fiery universe.

"A complete set of seven secret runes. It seems the will of the primordial universe is quite generous, bestowing upon us a supreme treasure of excellent quality."

As Shen Mu spoke, he reached out with one hand, and the space-time in his palm suddenly expanded before he put the entire giant axe away.

This supreme treasure was originally something Shen Mu wanted for the creator of the giant axe.

Although Shen Mu changed the fate of the Giant Axe Founder, he did not allow him to explore the Peak Realm.

However, the structure of human groups has changed. Given the carefree nature of the Giant Axe Founder, without the constraints of group pressure, he might easily go astray.

At this point, give the founder of the Giant Axe a supreme treasure axe to prevent him from ever having the urge to venture into the core areas of the three forbidden zones.

Before long, Shen Mu took the supreme treasure, the giant axe, and entered the small universe of the giant axe's creator.

Generally speaking, beings at the level of true gods are unwilling to stay in the heavily restricted primordial universe; they either venture into the cosmic sea or stay in their own small universe.

At this moment, at the core of the miniature universe, the Giant Axe Founder stared in shock at the giant axe that Shen Mu had taken out.

"Shen Mu, this is... a treasure you commissioned the Mountain Hermit to craft?"

The founder of the giant axe immediately thought that Shen Mu had asked the Mountain Hermit to forge a divine axe for him.

Otherwise, even if Shen Mu were incredibly lucky and managed to obtain multiple supreme treasures in the cosmic sea, he might not necessarily acquire an axe-type supreme treasure.

Shen Mu shook his head: "It's a gift from the primordial universe, you can keep it."

The founder of the giant axe let out a long sigh, his voice trembling slightly: "Thank you, thank you..."

……

After everything came to a close, Shen Mu once again went into seclusion.

Although he had accepted the mission from the original cosmic will to kill King Zhenjia and the other two, there was no time to rush it.

Shen Mu planned to wait until the Duan Donghe inheritance incident was over before seeking out the three True Gods. Perhaps he could get some clues about the World Beasts from them.

Shen Mu's Earthling self and his four avatars all entered a state of seclusion.

Both the inheritance of Jie Fanzi and the secret technique of the Demonic Sound Soul of Mo Hua touch upon the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, making them extremely difficult to master completely.

However, Shen Mu was not in a hurry and could slowly comprehend it.

Shen Mu's purpose was not to learn these two secret techniques, but to absorb their essence.

Finally, the Netherworld Avatar, situated at 1.5 times the time flow rate in the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar region, merged the essence of the two traditions and incorporated them into its own secret technique framework, creating an even stronger secret technique.
