Chapter 62: The Primordial Star Opens

Virtual Universe, Divine Mountains, Divine Hall!

This is where the human race holds its highest council; it is rarely opened, only gathering the race's many powerful beings when matters of vital importance to humanity's fate arise.

Just as Lu Qingshan saw Lu Hongwen and others depart from the Initial Universe, countless super beings within the human race received emails from the Virtual Universe System and converged toward the Divine Mountains.

Clouds and mist swirled around the Divine Mountains, their peaks faintly visible.

One after another, the silhouettes of human powerhouses appeared, each at least at the level of Cosmic Venerable.

"Elder Gan Wu!"

"Bei Ming!"

"Jiu Yan!"

Cosmic Venerables who knew each other gathered together, warmly exchanging greetings.

"Hahaha!"

A winged being with two pairs of golden wings looked around and couldn't help exclaiming: "It's been a very long time since our human race held its highest council!"

"Indeed!"

Another ape-like Cosmic Venerable sighed: "I remember the last time we held the highest council was two trillion years ago, when my lord Luo Feng entered the Lord Realm!"

Hearing this, other Cosmic Venerables nearby exclaimed: "Yes! I recall when Luo Feng was still a Cosmic Venerable, he shattered the hundredfold limit of life gene layers without possessing any special life form — back then, countless alien race powerhouses were stunned!"

"Who can deny it? I remember how those alien races, desperate to uncover the secret of Seeing Yan Di's breakthrough, frequently infiltrated our human territory to hunt down Yan Shen clan members — they caused us no end of trouble!"

"Speaking of it, the Yan Shen clan truly has the heavens' favor! Not only do they possess extremely high life gene layers, but they can also use such miraculous armor — soldier armor, king armor, and more..."

"Too bad! The Yan Shen royal armor is incredibly effective, but those of us outside the Yan Shen clan simply cannot use it!"

…

One by one, the human race's super beings gathered, chatting among themselves.

As time passed, the number of human powerhouses gathered on the Divine Mountains grew ever larger, until the moment arrived for the highest council to open.

At that moment…

Boom—! The heavens and earth roared!

On the Divine Mountains, thousands of human Cosmic Venerables all looked up simultaneously — from the clouds above, two massive doors radiating brilliant golden light slowly emerged.

These two doors seemed to contain dazzling starry skies, now slowly opening, their interior being the Divine Hall, where humanity's highest council is held!

"Human powerhouses, assemble!"

A majestic voice echoed across the entire heavens and earth.

Hu!

The figures of all Cosmic Venerables on the Divine Mountains vanished instantly, transported in an instant to the magnificent Divine Hall.

…

Inside the Divine Hall.

A massive circular table, intricately carved with esoteric patterns, stood at the center, surrounded by countless densely packed Wang Zuo.

These densely packed Wang Zuo were divided into five tiers…

Two-meter-wide seats represented Cosmic Primary Venerables — most were newly ascended, with ordinary self-created secret arts and no great treasures to protect them;

Ten-meter-wide seats represented Cosmic Intermediate Venerables — some invincible titled-powerhouse-level experts who broke through could attain this level;

Fifty-meter-wide seats represented Cosmic Advanced Venerables — these were already considered powerful among Cosmic Venerables, rarely provoked by others;

Two-hundred-meter-wide seats represented Cosmic Overlords — such powerhouses were powerful enough to lead a race and establish themselves in the vast universe;

As for the towering one-thousand-meter-wide seats at the highest level, they represented the peak beings of the human race — all had reached the absolute pinnacle of the vast universe!

Among these one-thousand-meter-wide Wang Zuo, most glowed brilliant gold, but only the two central ones were black, radiating an aura of terrifying solemnity.

On one black Wang Zuo, a giant axe silhouette was carved — seated there was a burly, wild-looking man with thick fingers and tangled hair.

This man was none other than the true pillar of the human race at present, the supreme Cosmic powerhouse who leads a peak force — the Axe Creator!

"Seeing Yan Di!"

The Axe Creator looked toward a golden Wang Zuo on his right, smiling: "These youngsters are all talking about your Yan Shen clan's royal armor!"

"It's natural they talk about it! Rare treasures and supreme treasures are exceedingly scarce in the universe — the Yan Shen royal armor rivals the top-tier heavy treasures, and can even be mass-produced. Of course they're envious!"

"Envy is useless!"

A killing aura spread: "Didn't we already try? The Yan Shen royal armor can only be used by Yan Shen clan members — no one else, human or alien, can wield it!"

"Exactly! If they want treasures, let them fight for them! Isn't that exactly what's coming next?"

One by one, the super beings on the towering Wang Zuo spoke up.

"All of you!" Seeing Yan Di finally spoke.

All other Cosmic Lords, including the Axe Creator seated on the black throne, turned to look.

Seeing Yan Di!

The youngest Cosmic Lord in the human race today — and also the most mysterious!

The reason Seeing Yan Di was considered mysterious was because he possessed far too many precious treasures!

Before Luo Feng, the youngest Cosmic Lord in the human race was Lord Youhou Mojin Zhi Zhu of the Virtual Universe Corporation, who became a Cosmic Lord roughly thirty million cycles earlier than Luo Feng.

Yet even now, Lord Youhou Zhi Zhu's most precious supreme treasure remains the top-tier supreme weapon granted to him by the race upon his ascension — "Lord Youhou's Stinger!"

But Luo Feng, even as a Cosmic Venerable, already controlled at least two supreme treasures — one of which was an incredibly rare soul-type supreme treasure!

You must understand, supreme treasures in the universe are not something one can obtain through mere luck — they are usually deliberately left behind by supreme beings for their successors.

Thus, nearly all beings in the human race suspected that Seeing Yan Di was backed by a supreme being — though no one dared to speak it aloud.

"All of you!"

Seeing Yan Di understood the thoughts of the other human super beings, but he paid them no mind, and spoke directly: "Let's get to the matter at hand!"

"Agreed!"

The strongest of the giants on the black throne looked toward the Hun Dun Chengzhu on his left and spoke: "Hun Dun, you shall preside over this meeting again!"

"Mm." The Hun Dun Chengzhu nodded in agreement.

"Everyone!"

The Hun Dun Chengzhu's voice echoed through the Divine Hall: "Every time a Supreme Meeting is convened, it is due to a matter capable of affecting our entire human race. And the reason this Supreme Meeting is being convened is... the Primordial Star is about to open."

"The Primordial Star is about to open?"

After hearing the Hun Dun Chengzhu's words, many Universe Zifeng Zunzhe below wore expressions of shock on their faces.

"The Primordial Star is the most core place of the vast universe; every time it opens, it drives billions of races of the Primordial Universe into a frenzy of slaughter! This opening... is naturally no exception!"

"If you wish to obtain supreme treasures and wish to contribute to your race, this is your opportunity! For detailed information, everyone may browse first!"

As soon as the Hun Dun Chengzhu finished speaking, a screen floated before the powerful ones of the human race below, displaying numerous detailed data regarding the Primordial Star...

The most core region of the entire universe is the 'Place of the Universe Origin'; however, through infinite ages, apart from consciousness being able to descend to the Place of the Universe Origin, not a single powerful one has been able to personally reach the Place of the Universe Origin!

And the 10,081 Primordial Stars are the magical places in the entire universe closest to the 'Place of the Universe Origin'.

Therein lie countless treasures, and at the same time, countless dangers!

There are a total of 10,081 passages leading to the Primordial Stars; however, these passages are always closed during normal times, only occasionally opening once after experiencing incredibly long ages, and each opening lasts only for a thousand eras!

Before the passages close, all powerful ones who have entered the Primordial Stars must depart in advance; otherwise, they will inevitably perish, whether it is a clone lingering or a manifestation lingering, it is the same!

Of course, although the 10,081 Primordial Stars are fraught with dangers, they also nurture countless treasures; heavy treasures are seen everywhere, sometimes even stepping on them while walking, and even supreme treasures appear frequently!

Countless supreme existences of the billions of races of the universe will fight here for the sake of seizing supreme treasures, and even every time the Primordial Star opens, Universe Lords perish within it!

Just as the many powerful ones of the human race were viewing the data, the Hun Dun Chengzhu's voice sounded again beside everyone's ears: "The opening of the Primordial Star is ten years away from now! In these ten years, everyone can make preparations, borrow treasures from some powerful ones who are unwilling to venture into the Primordial Star, or form squads with some powerful ones whose strengths complement each other! After ten years, our human race will march into the Primordial Star!"

After the meeting ended, the many Universe Zifeng Zunzhe of the human race dispersed, while the Founder of the Giant Axe and many Universe Lords remained behind.

"Lord Youhou, Seeing Yan Di!"

The Founder of the Giant Axe looked at Seeing Yan Di and You Hou Zhi Zhu, who had just stepped into the Lord Realm not long ago: "You two have just broken through not long ago; if you intend to venture into the Primordial Star, you must be extra careful!"

"The environment there is special; even Universe Lords cannot teleport, and it is very easy to encounter danger!"

"I understand, thank you, Founder of the Giant Axe!" You Hou Zhi Zhu said hurriedly.

"Rest assured, I know!" Seeing Yan Di said casually.

"Seeing Yan Di, you had best not be careless!"

Bing Feng Zhi Zhu, standing nearby, could not help but remind him: "I know your life gene level has long been raised to nearly ten thousand times, and you have many super supreme treasures protecting your body, but the Primordial Star is indeed very dangerous; you have just broken through not long ago, so it is better to be a little careful!"

"Bingfeng, you had better manage yourself!" Seeing Yan Di said offhandedly: "My affairs do not need you to worry about!"

"Haha..."

Peng Gong Zhi Zhu, standing nearby, quickly changed the subject: "Although the Primordial Star is relatively dangerous, if the many powerful ones of our human race work together with one heart, we will definitely be able to gain something!"

"That's right! Perhaps this time we can obtain a peak domain-type supreme treasure!"

"Hahaha, I prefer peak palace-type supreme treasures!"

Lu Qingshan was merely a small ordinary Immortal, so naturally he was unaware of what happened at the Supreme Meeting of the human race.

As for the opening of the Primordial Star, it was equally infinitely distant from him.

What Lu Qingshan wanted to do most right now was to improve his strength as much as possible.

So during this period, he had been cultivating hard within the Hun Dun City.

In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand years had passed again!

Initial Universe, Hun Dun City.

Outside the gate of a luxurious mansion occupying a vast area.

"Today is the time for the Tian Feng Guozhu of the King King Fengying lineage to explain the Time Origin Law; we cannot miss it!"

Lu Qingshan, wearing a suit of dark golden battle armor, walked to the gate of the luxurious mansion and quickly stepped inside.

In fact, for chaos steles leaning towards the time side, such as the Tian Lei Chaos Stele and the King King Fengying Chaos Stele, there might be slight differences when comprehending lower-level origin laws in the early stages, but when comprehending upper-level origin laws in the later stages, they reach the same destination by different paths.

Furthermore, the Universe Zifeng Venerables of the King King Fengying lineage are all supreme existences who have completely mastered the Time Origin Law; from a high vantage point, Lu Qingshan coming to listen to their lectures would naturally be able to gain some insights.

At this moment, cultivators walking in twos and threes also entered this luxurious mansion.

Among these people were geniuses of various forces cultivating secretly within the Hun Dun City, there were army-master-level Immortals like Lu Qingshan, there were Feng Hou Immortals, and even a very small number of Hei Fengwang Immortals...

"The Tian Feng Guozhu is explaining the mysteries of the Time Origin Law today; there are truly so many people here!"

"Of course! The Tian Feng Guozhu is a great existence who mastered the complete Time Origin Law long ago; even Feng Hou Immortals can gain much inspiration in his class!"

One by one, geniuses and powerful ones of the human race entered the luxurious mansion.

Inside the luxurious mansion.

On the plaza, tens of kilometers in length and width, tens of thousands of figures had already gathered.

"There are truly so many people today!" Lu Qingshan, sitting alone in a corner, could not help but sigh inwardly.

When his teacher Lei Huanwang gave lectures, usually only a thousand people would come to listen at most.

And now, before the Tian Feng Guozhu has even started lecturing, tens of thousands of people have already gathered here.

Boom...

An invisible pressure instantly covered the entire plaza, and the tens of thousands of people gathered within the plaza instantly fell completely silent.

A young figure wearing green battle armor appeared in the very center of the plaza, then sat cross-legged; it was the Tian Feng Guozhu.

"The Time Origin Law I am explaining today, once you can comprehend it thoroughly, will allow you to become the lofty Universe Guozhu!"

The Tian Feng Guozhu extended a finger, pointing remotely at the half-air, and soon a series of extremely complex secret patterns appeared in the half-air.

"The fundamental essence of this temporal prime law consists of 108 core principles, like this..."

In midair, the intricate secret runes continuously flowed, like a flawless machine, imbued with the mysterious and unfathomable power of the temporal prime law.

"Next, I will demonstrate each aspect separately for you all..."

The Lord of Tianfeng explained his lesson with exceptional clarity, yet Lu Qingshan and the others found it bafflingly obscure.

Depending on one's level of insight, the experiences gained will differ!

"That concludes today's lecture!"

Three hours later, the Lord of Tianfeng said calmly, then rose to his feet.

"Thank you, Master!"

Below, Lu Qingshan and the other students immediately stood and bowed deeply in profound gratitude.

After all, the Lord of Tianfeng, a Cosmic Zunzhe, had come to teach them—gratitude was only natural!

After the Lord of Tianfeng departed with a smile, the many powerful figures in the square began to leave in small groups.

"What's going on lately?"

A burly man over three meters tall, with two antennae on his forehead and dark blue skin, muttered as he walked toward the mansion's exit: "In the past, we always had Cosmic Zunzhe come to lecture on the temporal prime law or spatial prime law at intervals within the Chaos City—but now, the number of lecturing Zunzhe is dwindling!"

"That's true!"

Beside him, a lean man clad in silver battle armor, with a vertical eye on his marquis, added: "I recall Yao Guang Zunzhe used to give a lecture every three thousand years—but last time, he never showed up!"

"I actually heard my teacher mention this!"

Another well-informed powerhouse lowered his voice and whispered: "It's said many of these supreme beings have already left the Chaos City, which is why the lecturers are growing fewer."

"So many supreme beings leaving the Chaos City? Has something major happened within our Human Clan?"

"I don't know! Let's drop it. Tor, I heard you've cleared the Sixteenth Level of the King King Fengying Sky Bridge—this time, you must treat us!"

"No problem!"

Not far away, Lu Qingshan, walking outward, twitched his ears and clearly heard the conversation among those Marquis Immortals.

He had already known about the supreme beings of the Human Clan leaving the Chaos City—and he knew the reason.

That was...

The primal star nearest to the Cosmic Origin had opened, so many powerful figures from the Human Clan had rushed there to explore.

In truth, Lu Qingshan's status and position would never have allowed him to learn this news.

But his ancestral master—the teacher of Lei Huanwang—had once encountered danger on the primal star; Lei Huanwang had mentioned it in passing, and Lu Qingshan had deduced the primal star's opening from the original plot.

Yet even knowing this, it made no difference to him.

After all, with his current strength, he could never participate in matters as grand as the primal star.

"The primal star is still too distant for me!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently: "Right now, the most important thing for me is to meditate once more on the Thunder Chaos Stele before leaving the Chaos City, then depart with new insight."

With Lei Huanwang's help, Lu Qingshan had extended his initial meditation time on his primal universe to two thousand years.

Now, the time for him to leave the Chaos City and return to duty was fast approaching.
