I’m Krimo from the Noah Universe Nation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan regarded the man with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original novel, the human domain contained a total of 1,008 universes, but only a few were mentioned—Noah Universe Nation was one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bo Lan, the super-genius of the same generation as Luo Feng, hailed from Noah Universe Nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Yanshen Clan had not yet separated from the human race, so Bo Lan still had no telling how long it would take before he appeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Lu Qingshan from the Yanfeng Universe Nation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan nodded slightly in reply: “Yes, I came alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It must have been hard coming here alone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The werewolf warrior Krimo sat down directly across from Lu Qingshan, flipped his hand, and produced a bottle of wine and two cups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he manipulated world force to pour the wine, he said: “I traveled here by starship from Noah Universe Nation—it took me over twenty years just to get here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks!” Lu Qingshan lifted his cup and said: “I had it easier—Yanfeng Universe Nation is closer, so I only spent over ten years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed,” Krimo raised his cup, drained it, then continued: “Among our human race’s 1,003 universe nations, Noah Universe Nation is among the farthest from here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our region is quite near the headquarters of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, but I chose to join the Virtual Universe Corporation, so I had to come here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qingshan, how did you obtain your Initial Universe enlightenment slot? Auction? Or through internal company channels?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Through internal company channels,” Lu Qingshan replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our side is quite close to the headquarters of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, but I chose to join the Virtual Universe Corporation back then, so I could only come here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Krimo laughed: “Actually, my contribution points were far too low to apply for an Initial Universe slot—but later I accomplished a great service for the company, earned a massive amount of contribution points, and immediately applied for the enlightenment slot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But competition for these slots is incredibly fierce—I waited over three thousand years before finally getting this chance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Qingshan was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Krimo smiled and said, “Actually, my previous contribution points were nowhere near enough to apply for an Initial Universe insight slot—until later, when I rendered great service to the company and earned a massive amount of contribution points, at which point I immediately applied for the Initial Universe insight slot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Krimo hadn’t bribed the staff—or had bribed them minimally—otherwise he wouldn’t have had to wait so long!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan chatted casually with Krimo, and occasionally other warriors joined them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, twelve days passed in the blink of an eye, and Virtual Universe Corporation staff soon reappeared in the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man wrapped in a simple white robe looked at everyone; the faint aura radiating from him imposed immense pressure on Lu Qingshan and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qing chatted casually with Krimo, and occasionally other powerful figures would join in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! And a powerful one—his aura is even stronger than my ancestral patriarch’s!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Virtual Universe Corporation is truly formidable—such a powerful Immortal is merely a staff member!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man ignored the murmurs and said directly: “Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than a powerful force instantly enveloped everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man immediately transformed into a streak of light, carrying Lu Qingshan and the others; after flying for several minutes, they arrived before a starship over ten thousand meters in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, board the ship—it will take you into the Initial Universe!” the middle-aged man said coldly, setting them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the middle-aged man’s urging, Lu Qingshan and the others entered through the hatch tunnel, soon arriving in the ship’s main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, an invisible pressure filled the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan and the others looked up and immediately saw over a dozen Immortals standing before them; the leader was a burly man clad in black battle armor, his aura as profound and boundless as an ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome to the Initial Universe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-armored man’s gaze swept over everyone, then he said gravely: “I am Black Peak King, responsible for guiding you to the Initial Universe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qing and the others looked up and immediately saw over a dozen Immortals standing before them; at their head was a burly man clad in black battle armor, his aura deep as an ocean, vast as a abyss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan and the others bowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly black-armored man’s gaze swept over everyone present, then he said in a deep voice: “I, Black Peak King, am in charge of leading you to the Initial Universe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Peak King laughed heartily, then commanded: “Departure—head for the Initial Universe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than a thunderous boom echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive starship trembled slightly and vanished instantly from its location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the hall grew heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All those traveling to the Initial Universe were Lord-level warriors like Lu Qingshan; even those with powerful backgrounds found it nearly impossible to meet a King-level Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, Lu Qingshan, having cultivated for millions of years, had only encountered two King-level Immortals in his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, even though Black Peak King had not deliberately released his aura, the natural presence radiating from him already filled everyone with awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All those traveling to the Initial Universe were powerhouses at the Realm Lord level, like Lu Qing; even those with the most profound backgrounds found it extremely difficult to meet even a single King-level Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a thunderous voice rang from outside, echoing into the ship and reverberating in everyone’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have been ordered to escort these cultivators to the Initial Universe. Please open the cosmic passage!” Black Peak King’s calm voice carried outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rumbling sound came from outside, and the ship resumed its forward motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Lu Qingshan and the others felt a wave of discomfort—as if time itself had become disordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We are now within the passage between the Initial Universe and the Original Universe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Peak King’s gaze swept over Lu Qingshan and the others as he explained: “Since the flow of time differs between the Initial Universe and the Original Universe, time within this spatial passage is chaotic—hence your discomfort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After roughly five to six minutes, the discomfort vanished from Lu Qingshan and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Black Peak King spoke again: “We have now arrived at the Initial Universe. Open the ceiling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Peak King’s gaze passed over Lu Qing and the others, then explained: “Because the time flow of the Initial Universe differs from that of the Original Universe, the temporal flow within this space corridor is chaotic—naturally causing you some discomfort!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal ceiling above them automatically split open, revealing a layer of transparent, glass-like film.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan looked up and saw darkness outside, with occasional drifting streams of chaotic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far in the distance, heaven and earth periodically cracked open and merged, while countless strange runes appeared within the fissures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Threads of cosmic laws interwove, runes drifting like a loom, weaving the distant heavens and earth ever larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stars and planets in a universe have lifespans—so too does the universe itself, though its lifespan is unimaginably long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Peak King continued: “This Initial Universe is a newborn universe in the ‘Cosmic Dawn’ phase. During this phase, the universe is still refining itself, so its fundamental laws manifest visibly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The runes repairing the distant space fissures are the visible manifestations of cosmic origin rules—including the fundamental laws you seek to comprehend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within the Initial Universe, you can directly observe these manifest fundamental laws with your naked eyes—making comprehension vastly easier than elsewhere! You all know how precious your enlightenment slots are—seize this opportunity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Peak King continued: “The Initial Universe is a newly formed universe in the ‘Primordial Cosmic Dawn’ era. During this period, the universe is still refining itself, so its fundamental laws manifest visibly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The cosmic origin laws that constantly repair the distant spatial rifts include the very fundamental laws you are striving to comprehend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Peak King added: “Chaos City is where you will reside and cultivate during your time in the Initial Universe. I have personally escorted you here—I hope each of you gains something from this experience!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the starship flew above an ancient city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ancient city was immensely majestic, situated within the boundless expanse of the Initial Universe, standing tall, heavy, and eternal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Peak King added a final warning: “Chaos City is where you will reside and cultivate during your time in the Initial Universe. I have guided you here—I hope each of you gains something valuable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatch opened; under Black Peak King’s reminder, Lu Qingshan and the others quickly streamed out of the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ancient city was immensely majestic, situated within the boundless expanse of the Prime Universe, towering and weighty, enduring since time immemorial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatch opened, and at Lei Huanwang’s reminder, Lu Qingshan and the others quickly streamed out of the spaceship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cabin door closed, and the spaceship trembled slightly before shooting off as a streak of light into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a black streak of light flew in from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen, I am the guide emissary of Chaos City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black streak landed before Lu Qingshan and the others, revealing a figure in a black robe, who smiled and said: “Chaos City has existed for an unimaginably long time—it is the true holy land of our human species!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Currently, Chaos City is jointly governed by five major powers: the Virtual Universe Corporation, the Giant Axe Combat Arena, the Universe’s First Bank, the Universe River Bank, and the Universe Mercenary Alliance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan and the others watched the black-robed emissary in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed man smiled and led Lu Qingshan and the others down from the high sky, landing on the broad streets of Chaos City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within Chaos City stood countless small buildings, and on the rooftops of many, one could see human masters of varying appearances—some seated cross-legged in stillness, others lost in deep contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even above, in the spatial rifts of the distant sky, powerful beings stood suspended in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In Chaos City, there are many supreme entities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guide emissary walked while explaining to Lu Qingshan and the others: “You all have been granted three hundred years to contemplate in the Initial Universe—but never disturb others as they meditate on the fundamental laws. If you interfere, you will immediately lose your contemplation privileges and be expelled from the Initial Universe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan and the others nodded in unison—they would never do such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the black-robed guide emissary continued to inform them of various rules within Chaos City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance: human masters are forbidden from killing one another in the Initial Universe; the three treasures within the Initial Universe—the visible cosmic operational laws, the Chaos Beasts that yield Chaos True Spirits, and the most precious fifty Chaos Steles…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the black-robed emissary soon led Lu Qingshan and the others to a magnificent building three hundred meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed emissary gazed at the grand structure with reverent eyes and said: “Look—that is the Lord’s Mansion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan and the others looked up and immediately saw the three most brilliant characters in Universal Script above the building—‘Lord’s Mansion’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely seeing those characters made Lu Qingshan feel his soul tremble, as if it might be pulled from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed emissary laughed: “Even immortal beings dare not stare too long at the plaque above the Lord’s Mansion. You youngsters at the Domain Lord level should be careful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, now I’ll take you to choose your own suitable Chaos Stele!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2404,"2026-06-20T09:18:16.807Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","85afbe79899d7122ecc4a2b6a0c1ab6397274312bc5625df43cdc3a91969b5fb","all-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-chapter-5","all-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-chapter-3",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fall-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-cover.jpg"]
