Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 95 The Descent of the Primal Law

In the dark universe, a black spaceship sped along, heading towards the primeval secret realm.

Inside the spaceship, in a simple lounge, Shen Mu sat cross-legged, his consciousness connected to the virtual universe, heading to pay his respects to his teacher, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

……

"What?!"

"You...you've obtained the complete inheritance of a divine general!?"

The astonished voice of the Qianwu Kingdom King echoed within the magnificent hall.

This could not help but shock the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom. Back in his youth, he had also received the inheritance of a divine general and was well aware of the difficulty of such inheritance.

You should know that although your little disciple has extremely high talent, he shouldn't have the ability to obtain the complete inheritance of the Demonic Sound God General.

Shen Mu bowed and said, "Teacher, my avatar has advanced to the level of a Realm Lord, and thus I was fortunate enough to obtain the complete inheritance of a Divine General."

Upon hearing this, the Qianwu Kingdom's shocked expression softened somewhat, but he still felt it was somewhat outrageous. Back when he received the divine general's inheritance, he was already an immortal king, and he only managed to barely accept half of the inheritance in the end.

Looking at Shen Mu before him, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom sighed with emotion.

"Back when you were in Chaos City, you made it through the ninth level of the Bridge to Heaven. I had a premonition that you might surpass me in the future."

"I just didn't expect that you would directly obtain the complete inheritance of the Demonic Sound God General. You should know that the position of Demonic Sound God General has been vacant for more than 40 million epochs, without a single candidate."

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "That's true. After inheriting the complete divine general's legacy, I received some information. Currently, I am the first and, for the time being, the only being in the entire universe to have obtained the complete legacy of the Demonic Sound Divine General."

Upon hearing this, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom's eyes lit up slightly.

This means that as long as his little disciple can reach the Venerable Realm in the future, he will be able to directly inherit the position of Divine General and become an existence no weaker than the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

The seventy-two divine generals of the Ancestral God Sect are different from ordinary cosmic overlords. Once those candidate divine generals successfully inherit the position of supreme ruler, their strength will increase dramatically, truly comparable to the powerhouses who have just entered the realm of cosmic masters.

Just as the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was about to speak, Shen Mu continued respectfully, "Master, this disciple does not wish to inherit the position of Divine General."

Then Shen Mu expressed his thoughts: he wanted to sell the crystal containing the complete inheritance to his clan, but he was too weak and had no way to do so. He hoped that his teacher, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, could make contact.

The inheritance of a divine general and the inheritance of a divine messenger are different. The inheritance of a divine messenger can be passed down multiple times, but the inheritance of a divine general is a one-time use item, and therefore extremely precious.

Shen Mu was not interested in the Demonic Sound God General's ultimate secret technique. As the ultimate secret technique of a god general, it was definitely a super secret technique at the level of a universe master.

The problem is that even with such a powerful secret technique, it's not very effective at my current level, so exchanging it for money and resources would be more practical.

For Shen Mu himself, the inheritance of the divine general was merely an opportunity to enhance the amplitude of his body and soul; nothing else mattered.

My soul's amplitude has now reached 99.99 times, infinitely approaching the 100-fold limit. This is enough; there's no need to deliberately pursue that final bit of improvement.

"To obtain the complete inheritance of a divine general without undergoing any trials... Hiss, even I dare not estimate the value of such a treasure."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom gasped, pondered for a moment, and said, "Alright, I will go and pay my respects to the Lord of Chaos City. You can wait for my news."

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher," Shen Mu said, bowing.

……

More than two months later, Shen Mu successfully returned to the original secret realm, the Ninth Dimension.

As soon as Shen Mu returned to his residence, two staff members from the Virtual Universe Company arrived and conducted a strength test on him according to regulations.

"Beep, psychic power test result: Domain Lord Level 1!"

"Beep, Force detection result: Domain Lord Level 1!"

The head black-clad steward smiled at Shen Mu and bowed slightly, saying, "Your Highness, the detection information has been simultaneously transmitted into the virtual universe network. Congratulations on reaching the Domain Lord level!"

"According to company regulations, once Your Highness is confirmed to have advanced to the Domain Lord level, you can directly use nutrient solution to evolve to the ninth level of the Domain Lord level."

"We have brought the nutrient capsule, which contains enough nutrient solution to fully support Your Highness's advancement."

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you all for your hard work."

"It's my duty, I dare not take credit." The black-clad deacon wore a friendly smile, then slightly raised his hand, and a stream of light flew out from his world ring.

boom!

The ground trembled slightly, and a nutrient tank made entirely of rock gray appeared out of thin air in front of Shen Mu.

"Your Highness, this nutrient capsule can only be used by Your Highness personally. Besides the nutrient capsule, there is another matter I need to inform Your Highness."

"According to company regulations, all domain master-level members must be externally deployed!"

"According to custom, Your Highness is usually sent to your hometown, so the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is the first choice. If Your Highness is unwilling, you may choose any universe kingdom."

"I am willing to go to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom." Shen Mu nodded.

The black-clad steward nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness's wishes have been recorded and will be relayed to the company's senior management. Your Highness should receive the company's appointment within six months at most."

After the trivial matters were dealt with, the stewards and staff dared not disturb them any further and quickly took their leave.

After everyone had left, Shen Mu returned to his quiet courtyard.

Shen Mu looked at his guard commander, Yu Lun, and said, "Yu Lun, I'll have to trouble you to protect me during this assignment."

Yu Lun quickly bowed slightly: "Protecting Your Highness is my duty."

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The next six months can be used to soak in the nutrient capsule, allowing my true self to advance to the ninth level of the Domain Lord.

During this time, Shen Mu also needs to devote himself to comprehending the mysteries of the laws.

Since leaving Chaos City more than a hundred years ago, Shen Mu has spent over ninety years receiving the inheritance of a divine general.

The inheritance of the Purgatory God General, in particular, has the highest requirements and a time limit. Shen Mu was almost completely focused on it and dared not waste any time.

This has resulted in Shen Mu's limited improvement in his understanding of the laws over the years. Of course, Shen Mu has done this intentionally, thinking it wouldn't be too late to comprehend the laws at the World Lord level.

Next, Shen Mu's true form lay in the nutrient pod to begin evolving, while waiting for good news from the Qianwu Kingdom's master.

The Azure Dragon clone, on the other hand, was completely immersed in the process of comprehending the laws.

However, Shen Mu was quite surprised by the efficiency with which he comprehended the laws. Back in Chaos City, his progress had already been terrifyingly fast.

Normally, the speed at which a Realm Lord-level Law comprehends a law is hundreds of times that of a Domain Lord-level Law; basically, one day's comprehension efficiency is equivalent to one year at the Domain Lord level.

Shen Mu not only advanced to the Realm Lord level, but also cleared the Inheritance Hall of the Demon Sound God General in the process, greatly improving his state of mind, will, and speed of thought.

In summary, Shen Mu's comprehension efficiency has become much stronger. In just one day of comprehension, his progress is equivalent to ten years for a Domain Lord!

"It's a pity that he has already advanced to the Domain Lord level, otherwise he could have spent some more time consolidating and then ventured into the cosmic-level Primal Tongtian Mountain."

Of course, it doesn't matter. Shen Mu no longer cares about the rewards from the Primal Tongtian Mountain, which is at the cosmic level. Moreover, even if he manages to pass through, the rewards won't be given out immediately. He'll have to wait until he breaks through to the Realm Lord level before the rewards are distributed.

As Shen Mu became completely immersed in comprehending the laws, time passed day by day, and half a year went by in the blink of an eye. Shen Mu's Earthling body had also successfully advanced to the ninth level of the Domain Lord level.

On this day, on the continent of Wuchen, beneath a strange cliff.

Shen Mu sat upright on a boulder shaped like a pebble, his eyes fixed on the intricate and strange carvings on the cliff face.

The carving marks were chaotic and disorderly, as if they were left by some kind of sharp weapon. They were covered with a thin layer of frost all year round, emitting a cold white mist.

Besides Shen Mu, there were three or five other people scattered around, also trying to comprehend the mysteries contained within the strange carvings. These individuals were all geniuses from the Ice-Sealed Chaos Stele lineage within the Primordial Secret Realm.

hum!

Suddenly, a dazzling blue-green divine light burst forth from the void, and an incomparably rich aura of law spread out.

Mysterious and intricate blue runes emerged and vanished in the void, spreading outwards from Shen Mu in all directions.

Such intense fluctuations in the laws and strange phenomena immediately alerted the several people around who were studying the cliff carvings with Shen Mu. These people were all members of the Realm Lord level.

"This is... the descent of the primordial laws? There's no mistake, it was a similar phenomenon when I received the recognition of the laws back then."

"That person is... Shen Mu. Didn't he just break through to the Domain Lord level half a year ago?"

There were only about 110 members in the original area, and apart from newcomers like Shen Mu, they were all basically familiar with each other.

The realm lords exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

The feat of a Domain Lord gaining recognition from the fundamental laws is not unprecedented in the Primordial Secret Realm. However, only the most elite members of the Primordial Secret Realm have ever accomplished this.

However, they are different from Shen Mu. Shen Mu only broke through to the Domain Lord level in half a year, while they all spent tens of thousands of years at the Domain Lord level before achieving such a feat.

"Is this the value of someone who only appears once every hundred million epochs...?" A female realm master couldn't help but speak, her tone filled with shock.

hum!

The invisible primordial energy of water suddenly condensed, and then a crystal-clear, strange drop of water appeared out of thin air above Shen Mu's head and dripped down.

The mysterious water droplet passed directly through Shen Mu's body, seeped into the crystal-clear primordial core, permeated the Origin Pearl, and finally merged with Shen Mu's soul.

hum!

An indescribable wave spread out, and a light blue mark appeared between Shen Mu's brows.

It was an unusually strange mark. It seemed to be just a complex symbol, but upon closer inspection, it was as if one were gazing upon an endless, raging ocean.

At this moment, Shen Mu's entire demeanor changed, gaining an added air of majesty—a majesty emanating from the fundamental laws of the universe.

Within their inner worlds, the foreheads of both the Azure Dragon clone and the Flame God Clan clone also successively displayed marks acknowledging the Water Origin Law.

Having gained the recognition of the laws, the Azure Dragon clone let out a long roar, causing the power of the world to tremble, and its consciousness entered that mysterious origin of the universe.

After his consciousness entered the origin of the universe, Shen Mu instinctively sensed a soul-stirring call—a call from the ocean of primordial laws.

Under normal circumstances, once one advances to the level of a Realm Lord, their consciousness can enter the origin of the universe.

After gaining the recognition of the fundamental laws, a wisp of consciousness can enter the ocean of fundamental laws, and the speed of comprehending the laws will be increased again.

Heeding this call from the depths of his soul, Shen Mu's consciousness entered an even more wondrous space.

This is an endless blue ocean.

This is the fundamental source of the "Law of Water" in the entire primordial universe.

An endless aura of laws permeated the entire ocean, filled with a powerful pressure far exceeding that of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

Shen Mu's wisp of consciousness transformed into a drop of "Original Water," merging into the endless ocean.

"Rumble..."

Towering waves surged forth, shaking the entire ocean as if roaring. Shen Mu's consciousness merged into a single drop of water, drifting with the sea, sensing the boundless power of the laws.

……

When Shen Mu's consciousness left the Ocean of Origin, it was already almost half a month later.

Beside Shen Mu, Yu Lun and many guards surrounded him.

Shen Mu asked with some surprise, "Yu Lun? What brings you here?"

Yu Lun said somewhat apologetically, "A prince of the Primal Realm Lord level informed me that Your Highness entered a state of enlightenment while comprehending the Frozen Cliff and received the recognition of the Origin Law, and asked me to go and protect you."

At this point, Yu Lun bowed slightly and said, "This is my dereliction of duty. If His Highness were disturbed and his enlightenment interrupted, I really don't know how to explain it to His Highness and his teacher."

"There's no need for that. I was the one who told you not to keep following me."

After all, everything is very safe within the Primal Secret Realm, and having dozens of people protecting him at every turn would be too much. Not only do other members of the Primal Zone not do this, but Shen Mu is also quite unaccustomed to such constant protection.

"Your Highness, there is one more important matter."

Yu Lun's expression turned serious, and he said, "A few days ago, my master informed me that after His Highness's enlightenment, you should go and pay your respects to my master as soon as possible."

Have you heard anything from the teacher?

A glint seemed to appear in Shen Mu's eyes, and he quickly said, "Let's go, let's go! I'll go to the virtual universe to pay my respects to my teacher right now!"

A moment later, Shen Mu returned to his courtyard and then his consciousness entered the virtual universe to pay his respects to the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

"Teacher, teacher!"

Shen Mu called out twice from afar, then transformed into a streak of light and appeared directly in front of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, bowing respectfully.

Inside the towering Qianwu Temple, seeing his little disciple's somewhat impatient expression, the Qianwu King couldn't help but smile.

"You'd better be prepared, you're going to strike it rich this time."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was somewhat envious, and then said, "The company has proposed three plans for the acquisition of the Divine General's legacy."

"The first option is to immediately receive 1000 billion points, and after advancing to the Realm Lord level, obtain a top-tier set of treasures. After advancing to the Immortal God level, you will be rewarded with a Beast God Inheritance Token."

"The second option is to choose any ordinary-level treasure from the clan's treasury after ascending to the status of an immortal god, regardless of type."

"The third option is to immediately receive 1 trillion points, 100 treasure points, and 1 supreme treasure point."

After explaining the allocation plan, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom gave Shen Mu a briefing on the concepts of precious treasures, supreme treasures, and the Beast God Inheritance Token.

Although Shen Mu knew the concepts of precious treasures and supreme treasures, he still pretended to be greatly shocked.

After explaining the situation to Shen Mu, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom sighed and said, "Of the three options, the second one should be the most valuable."

It may seem like you're just getting a regular treasure, but the key is that you can choose any one of them, regardless of type.

If the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom remembers correctly, the cheapest soul-type treasure in the clan's treasury is worth at least thirty or forty treasure points.

It should be noted that even though he, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, is now jokingly referred to by his friends as the most indebted member of the human race, he only owes a single-digit number of treasure points.

Secondly, there is the first option. The value of the Beast God Inheritance Token is comparable to that of the most common supreme treasure, and the top-tier treasure set is also comparable to that of a common supreme treasure.

The third option offers the least: 1 trillion points, which is equivalent to 0.1 Treasure Points, and can be ignored.

Ten Treasure Points can only be exchanged for one ordinary armor-type Treasure. One Supreme Treasure Point can only buy one of the lowest-grade weapon-type Supreme Treasures.

"They actually gave so much."

Shen Mu was also somewhat surprised, as he expected to receive a Beast God Inheritance Token or a supreme treasure, along with some points as a reward.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled and shook his head: "How could you understand the concept of a complete divine general's succession, especially such a succession where the divine position is vacant?"

With this complete inheritance, the clan can simply choose any Venerable whose potential has been exhausted, have them receive the inheritance, and they can directly inherit the position of Divine General. This is equivalent to instantly creating an existence that is in no way inferior to the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

Such a powerful individual can barely be considered to have the combat strength of a "Lord of the Universe". There are definitely fewer than 30 individuals of this strength in the entire human race.

Shen Mu pondered for a long time, and these three options were indeed difficult to choose from.

"Teacher, which option do you think I should choose?" Shen Mu looked at the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom and asked for advice.
