Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Feng had already been cultivating for a whole day.

Translation: Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Feng had already cultivated for a day.

The threat of the Lord of Life has not yet appeared; it seems the journey from extraterritorial space back to the Myriad Heavens battlefield is truly extremely far, so far that even venerables capable of great void teleportation would have to travel for a very long time.

Translation: The threat of the Lord of Life has not yet appeared; it seems the journey from extraterritorial starry space back to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield is truly extremely far, so far that even Venerables capable of void grand teleportation have to run for a very long time.

He couldn't help but recall the words he had once spoken in casual conversation with He Yunshan, the controller of the Earth war zone.

Translation: He couldn't help recalling the words he had spoken while chatting casually with the Controller of the Earth Theater, He Yunshan.

He Yunshan told him that even an Eternal-level controller cannot possibly cross the universe, because the universe is simply too vast.

Translation: He Yunshan told him that even an Eternal-tier Controller attempting to traverse the universe would be impossible, because the universe is too vast.

A galaxy spans tens of thousands of light‑years in diameter, a supercluster spans hundreds of millions of light‑years, and a civilization's territory is roughly the size of 1–3 superclusters.

Translation: A galaxy's diameter is several hundred thousand light-years, a supercluster's diameter is several hundred million light-years, and a civilization's territory is roughly the size of 1–3 superclusters.

Yet even a civilization's domain is merely a drop in the bucket compared to the entire universe.

Translation: Yet even a civilization's territory is merely the tip of the iceberg for the entire universe.

An Eternal-level controller can teleport about one light‑year in a single instant, while a few "half‑step Star‑Lord" beings can even manage up to five light‑years per teleport.

Translation: An Eternal-tier Controller's single teleport can reach about one light-year, while a few individual "half-step Star Lords" can even achieve a five-light-year teleport distance.

Ignoring consumption, the fastest possible rate is one teleport per second.

Translation: Without counting consumption, nonstop teleportation can be as fast as once per second.

With 86,400 seconds in a day, a Myriad Heavens year of 360 days contains 31,104,000 seconds; even nonstop teleportation would cover only about 31.1 million light‑years.

Translation: One day has 86,400 seconds, a Myriad Heavens year has 360 days, totaling 31,104,000 seconds; even with nonstop teleportation, that amounts to only 31.1 million light-years.

To cross a single domain, even an Eternal-level controller would need more than ten years.

Translation: To cross a territory, even an Eternal-tier Controller would need more than ten years.

Crossing the universe altogether is utterly impossible; the time required to traverse even a single growth era would be staggering.

No one knows how large the virtual universe is; perhaps only the Dao ancestors know.

Translation: How vast the virtual universe is remains unknown to anyone so far; perhaps only the Dao Ancestors know.

The Lord of Life and the Lord of Stars are out exploring the edge of the universe, and no one knows how far they have gone.

Translation: The Lord of Life and the Lord of Stars are exploring the cosmic frontier outside, and no one knows how far they have gone.

Xuan Die said that at the moment the Sky Lord died, a tremor occurred in the heavens, even affecting the Star Realm Mountain, and the enemy could return as soon as three or four days later.

Translation: Xuan Die said that at the moment the Lord of the Sky died, a tremor occurred beyond the heavens, even affecting Star Realm Mountain; the enemy could return as soon as three or four days later.

More than two days have passed now; perhaps tomorrow or the day after, one of the two great powers will descend.

But it could also take longer—five or six days, seven or eight days, and so on.

Translation: But it could also be longer—five or six days, seven or eight days, and so on.

However, the longest it would likely be is about ten days; if the distance were greater, there would be no "void great tremor" phenomenon.

Translation: However, the longest it could be is about ten days; if the distance were any greater, there would be no occurrence of a "void violent tremor."

In this limited time, Xiao Feng doesn't want to do anything else; he just wants to raise his level as much as possible to gain self‑preservation ability.

He continues to cultivate diligently, and his cultivation keeps rising.

Translation: He remains devoted to cultivation, and his cultivation level keeps rising.

His willpower hasn't ceased either; the tempering effect of the Myriad Heavens battlefield is the best. Here it's inconvenient to use the "self‑exploding Dao body" method, but employing a "simulated world" can also steadily improve him.

Translation: His willpower also hasn't ceased; the tempering effect of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield is the best, and while it's inconvenient here to use "self-detonation of the Dao body" for tempering, using a "simulated world" can also steadily improve oneself.

He even devotes part of his energy to comprehending the laws, continuing to deepen his study of the existing Yin‑Yang and Five‑Elements laws, striving for a higher realm.

Translation: He even devoted part of his energy to comprehending the laws, continuing to deepen his study of the existing yin-yang and five-element laws, striving toward a higher realm.

Under intense pressure, Xiao Feng's overall abilities are growing; even his physical body in the real world continually absorbs energy from the divine tree, advancing toward a higher realm.

Translation: Under intense pressure, Xiao Feng's overall abilities are growing; even his physical body in the real world continuously absorbs the energy from the divine tree, advancing toward a higher realm.

While he was striving to cultivate and break through to level 550, Xuan Die and a powerful figure suddenly teleported in, appearing outside his cultivation hut.

Translation: As he was diligently cultivating, pushing toward level 550, Xuan Die and a powerful figure suddenly teleported in, appearing outside his cultivation hut.

Xiao Feng sat in meditation; the energy around his body seemed substantial, forming a colorful, translucent vortex that gave him the air of an exalted master.

"Master, what do you think of him?" Xuan Die asked the person beside her.

Translation: "Master, what do you think of him?" Xuan Die asked the person beside her.

The one beside her is a monkey‑demon emperor about 1.7 meters tall, with black‑gray hair, looking like a middle‑aged man, wearing tattered golden armor whose faulds are missing on one side, making him appear somewhat down‑on‑his‑luck.

Translation: The one beside her is a monkey-race demon king about 1.7 meters tall, with black-gray hair, resembling a middle-aged man, wearing tarnished golden battle armor whose tasset is missing a side, making him look rather down-and-out.

This golden‑armored black ape is the strongest of the Calamity Demon tribe—the Holy Ape Demon Emperor!

Translation: This golden-armored black ape is the strongest of the Calamity Demon Clan, the Holy Ape Demon King!

The Holy Ape Demon Emperor, observing Xiao Feng's cultivation, nodded slightly: "Not bad; his flesh and will are both strong, approaching that of a controller."

Translation: The Holy Ape Demon King glanced at Xiao Feng in cultivation, nodded slightly: "Not bad; his flesh and will are both strong, approaching the level of a Controller."

"I'm not asking about that… I mean his talent—does he have a chance to become the strongest?" Xuan Die asked again.

Translation: "I'm not asking about that—I mean his talent, whether he has a chance to become the strongest," Xuan Die asked again.

The Holy Ape Demon Emperor chuckled: "How would I know? I'm not the Lord of Time, so I can't see his future. As for talent… it seems pretty good; go beat him up a bit and I'll observe and analyze."

Translation: The Holy Ape Demon King chuckled: "How would I know? I'm not the Lord of Time, so I can't see his future. Talent… seems pretty good; go beat him up a bit and try it out—I'll observe and analyze from the side."

"Master!" Xuan Die glared at the ape emperor resentfully and whispered, "I can't beat him; if he makes a move, I'd probably be killed instantly…"

Translation: "Master!" Xuan Die glared resentfully at the ape king, whispering: "I can't beat him; if he makes a move, I'm afraid I'd be killed instantly..."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" the Holy Ape Demon Emperor expressed surprise.

Translation: "Is it really that exaggerated?" the Holy Ape Demon King expressed surprise.

Xuan Die nodded seriously: "The Sky Lord was killed by him in just ten seconds; his burst power is terrifying—few of us native venerables can withstand it head‑on."

Translation: Xuan Die nodded seriously: "The Lord of the Sky was slain by him in just ten seconds; his burst power is terrifying, and few of us native Venerables can withstand it head-on."

"That's interesting. Tsk tsk, I just took a nap and suddenly this fierce character appears? Hold on, I'll go offline and ask my elder brother; he probably knows this kid's background." The Holy Ape Demon Emperor wore an intrigued expression.

Translation: "Kind of interesting. Tsk tsk, I just woke up from a nap, and suddenly this fierce character appears? Hold on, I'll go offline and ask my elder brother; she probably knows this kid's background." The Holy Ape Demon King wore an intrigued expression.

"Your master's elder brother? Who is that?" Xuan Die asked curiously.

Translation: "Your master's elder brother? Who is that?" Xuan Die asked curiously.

"He is our human race's Dao Ancestor, known as Time; in my previous life he was my brother, now he's become my elder brother, grown powerful, and even seized my cosmic nation…"

Translation: "He is our human race's Dao Ancestor, known as Lord of Time; in my previous life he was my brother, now he's become my elder brother and even snatched my cosmic nation..."

The Holy Ape Demon Emperor said that, then instantly vanished, logging off as an NPC.

Translation: The Holy Ape Demon King said that, then instantly vanished, logging off directly as an NPC.

Xuan Die pouted, a little dissatisfied, showing a childish demeanor.

Translation: Xuan Die pouted, a bit displeased, showing a childish demeanor.

It's not because the master said to log off and then did so; it's because the master clearly has an excellent relationship with the Dao Ancestor yet refuses to help her out of trouble, and whenever she brings it up, the topic is deflected.

Translation: It's not because the master said to log off and then did so; it's because the master clearly has an excellent relationship with the Dao Ancestor yet refuses to help her out of her predicament—every time she brings it up, the topic is deflected.

The Holy Ape Demon Emperor left for a while.

Translation: The Holy Ape Demon King left for a while.

A few minutes later he logged back on.

Translation: A few minutes later he logged back on.

However, he had been fine when he left, but upon returning he inexplicably had a bruised nose and swollen face, looking rather disheveled.

"Master, what… happened to you?" Xuan Die widened her eyes, asking in confusion.

Translation: "Master, what... happened to you?" Xuan Die widened her eyes, asking in confusion.

The Holy Ape Demon Emperor rubbed the bump on his eyelid and muttered gloomily: "Damn it, I wish I hadn't asked. This kid is toxic—he's managed to offend nearly our entire human Dao Ancestor lineage; as soon as I spoke, I got jumped by a crowd."

Translation: The Holy Ape Demon King rubbed the bump on his eyelid, glumly saying: "Damn it, I wish I hadn't asked. This kid is toxic; he's managed to offend nearly all of our human race's Dao Ancestors, and the moment I spoke I was gang-beaten."

"Ah… this…"

Translation: "Ah, this..."

Xuan Die opened her mouth and was instantly stunned.

Translation: Xuan Die opened her mouth, then froze.

"Offended the entire human Dao Ancestor lineage?"

Translation: Offended the human race's Dao Ancestors all around?

"What does that mean?"

Translation: What does that mean?

"What on earth has Xiao Feng done that's so heinous?!!"

Translation: What exactly did Xiao Feng do that's so heinous?!!

The Holy Ape Demon Emperor also didn't know the reason; he patted his disciple's shoulder and said earnestly: "Better stay away from him; watch out, next time you might get hit too. My elder brother never reasons with people—those who offend him always end up badly."

Translation: The Holy Ape Demon King also didn't know the reason; he patted his disciple's shoulder and said earnestly: "Better stay away from him; watch out, next time you might get hit too. My elder brother never reasons with people; those who offend her always end up badly."

"Master, I…"

Translation: "Master, I..."

Xuan Die almost cried.

Translation: Xuan Die almost cried.

"After finally securing a treasure, I've ended up offending many Dao Ancestors?"

Translation: After finally securing a treasure, she ends up offending many Dao Ancestors?

"Then what's the point of playing? I might as well just be an NPC here for life!"

Translation: Then what's the point of playing? She might as well just be an NPC here for life!

"Hmm? That's not right, Master!"

Translation: "Huh? That's not right, Master!"

At that moment she suddenly thought of a question: "He's offended the Dao Ancestors yet is still alive and well—isn't that also a kind of ability?"

Translation: At that moment, she suddenly thought of a question: "He's offended the Dao Ancestors yet still lives soundly— isn't that also a kind of ability?"

The Holy Ape Demon Emperor twitched the corner of his mouth: "That's because the Dao Ancestors don't want to bully the weak, and he is humanity's strongest combat power in the Myriad Heavens; killing him would affect future hegemony. Perhaps after the game war ends, he'll just be strangled."

Translation: The Holy Ape Demon King twitched the corner of his mouth: "That's because the Dao Ancestors don't want to bully the weak with strength, and he is humanity's strongest combat power in the Myriad Heavens; killing him would affect future hegemony. Perhaps after the game war ends, he'll just be strangled to death."

Xuan Die rolled her eyes twice, thought seriously, and snorted lightly: "Master, you're clearly just brushing me off, changing the subject so you don't have to tell me his potential."

Translation: Xuan Die rolled her eyes twice, thought seriously, then snorted lightly: "Master, you're clearly just brushing me off, changing the subject so you don't have to tell me his potential!"

"Ahaha... there's nothing like that, I, Can Kong, am not that kind of monkey." Having his little thoughts seen through, the Holy Monkey Demon Emperor scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Forget it, anyway I've secured this treasure!" Xuan Die expressed her position.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, the Holy Ape Demon Emperor could only say: "Alright, I hope you won't regret it later."

"Regret?" Upon hearing this, Xuan Die frowned slightly, sensing that her master's words had hidden meaning.

Could it be that in the future she will have to suffer for this?

But... if she could transcend, enduring some hardship would also be acceptable!

"I don't care." she replied.

The Holy Ape Demon Emperor, helpless, flipped his hand to take out a long spear and handed it to her, saying: "Since that's the case, then Master can only support you. When he needs it, you can lend a hand, just don't get yourself involved."

"This is... Master's weapon!"

Xuan Die looked at the long spear in her hand, showing a look of surprise.

Just as she was about to say something more, she discovered that Master had already teleported away.
