Chapter 260: Primordial Soul: The Fourth Layer

"Hmm, not too stupid yet!" Meng Lao flew to Xiao Yu's front, and with a wave of his hand a massive spiked mace materialized, which he struck at Xiao Yu's head hard twice.

This is a consciousness space; Xiao Yu wasn't injured, yet he truly felt pain.

"So the larger the space to fuse, the better," Xiao Yu grinned.

"Hmm, but with your current spiritual power you can at most fuse a Space Fragment a hundred million kilometers in diameter; to fuse larger fragments you need to strengthen your soul," Meng Lao said with a smile. "The first step of fusion is to imprint a soul mark onto a Space Fragment. The second step is to refine that fragment, making it virtual. The third step is the actual fusion."

"The first two steps are safe; the most dangerous is the third," Meng Lao said, tossing a three‑meter‑thick purple metal book. "This is the Primordial Soul Fourth Layer; take it for cultivation. If you have any questions later, you can ask me at any time."

"Thank you, Meng Lao!" Xiao Yu bowed respectfully.

"Go then, kid, don't fall," Meng Lao said softly after glancing at Xiao Yu.

"Hmm."

Xiao Yu nodded, then voluntarily exited the Inheritance Space.

It was the first time Xiao Yu voluntarily left the Inheritance Space; before that he had always been kicked out by Meng Lao.

Xiao Yu then took out a Beast God Inheritance Token he had received from the Chaos City Lord, letting divine power seep in; a surge of information flooded his mind, containing a set of universal coordinates.

The movement generated by the Insect Queen Irina's descending law was far lower than Xiao Yu's, only a few hundred times stronger than a regular Realm Lord's promotion to Immortal.

Just as Xiao Yu's primary consciousness was receiving the inheritance.

Then Xiao Yu's consciousness controlled a massive Main Root of the World Tree, crossing through space-time into the World Ring he carried.

Ten thousand times Soul Calculation Speed—what does that mean? It's equivalent to 10,000 times the King Limit Immortal Divine Spirit's Soul Calculation Speed, and far faster than the Smart Light Brain's processing speed.

In just a moment, Yin Lin Na completed the shaping of a Divine Body; the Insect Tribe Mother Nest grew even larger, its internal space expanding by more than tenfold.

"Come, I'll take you!" Xiao Yu said, speaking as the World Tree.

Within the Divine Kingdom, the ocean of the Fire Law descended.

The purple metal Primordial Soul Fourth Layer was handed to the avatars within the Divine Kingdom tasked with studying the Primordial Soul Secret Method, and after readjustment, the Soul Calculation Speed distribution for each clone and avatar was set.

This is a World Ring a hundred billion kilometers in diameter; at present, within the ring winds a Main Root three hundred million kilometers in diameter and three hundred trillion kilometers long, radiating seven-colored light.

The avatars researching the Primordial Soul Secret Method gained a ten‑thousand‑fold Soul Calculation Speed, while the avatars studying the "I am Time‑Space" secret method were adjusted to a factor of one.

"Master, I am ready to establish a Divine Kingdom," Yin Lin Na said softly. "Where shall I build it, in your opinion?"

Xiao Yu teleported Yin Lin Na through the Divine Kingdom, arriving at a barren star system within the Qian Wu Universe Country; after a week of searching, they selected a suitable Space Fragment in a spatial stratum to serve as the Divine Kingdom's base.

The World Tree possesses a total of 10,081 Main Roots, each of them massive in this way.

This Main Root is filled with Seven-colored Divine Power, enough for Xiao Yu to consume countless times.

Xiao Yu's Human True Body, as the main soul, can at any time adjust each Soul Split's Soul Calculation Speed.

After the Divine Kingdom was established, Xiao Yu kept Yin Lin Na within his Divine Kingdom to nurture an Immortal King Insect Race; previously Xiao Yu had already spent several hundred billion points to exchange massive resources for Yin Lin Na.

The Insect Queen Irina finally ascended to Immortal.

At this point Xiao Yu had also received the inheritance.

A small portion is for creating the Insect Race king, the majority is for his cultivation.

The coordinate location, Xiao Yu already knew.

Xiao Yu teleported via the Divine Kingdom to the Primordial Secret Realm, then applied for Divine Kingdom teleportation within the Virtual Universe System; now Xiao Yu has ascended to Immortal Divine Spirit, and is a distinguished figure of the 21st layer of the Sky Bridge, a status that normally prevents anyone from allowing him into their Divine Kingdom.

Consequently, Xiao Yu posted a bounty of 100 million Mixed Yuan Units.

In the Virtual Universe.

"Xiao Yu, are you heading to Zijing Island?" Seven Sword King appeared in the palace where Xiao Yu was at mid‑mountain.

"Yes, but I've already offered 100 million Mixed Yuan Units, and after three months no one has agreed," Xiao Yu said, a bit frustrated. "If that coordinate weren't so incredibly far from human territories, I wouldn't be waiting."

"You're no longer at the Realm Lord Level, so no Immortal would dare take this risk, and those Universe Venerables aren't interested in that sum of money," Seven Sword King said. "I happen to be returning to Zijing Island; come with me."

The last time in the Star Tower, Seven Sword King owed Xiao Yu a huge favor and hadn't found a chance to repay it; this Divine Kingdom legend can't fully settle a Heavy Treasure debt, but at least some of it is repaid.

"Thanks a lot, that really saves time," Xiao Yu said gratefully.

"Alright, then we'll meet at your Virtual Universe Company Headquarters; there's a teleportation gathering point there," Seven Sword King said.

"Alright." Xiao Yu nodded.

In the Primordial Secret Realm.

Xiao Yu teleported via the Mo Yun Teng Divine Nation to near the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, then continuously performed Instant Teleport; with his current power each teleport spanned 1,000 light‑years, comparable to ordinary Universe Venerables, and thousands of times farther than the King Limit Immortal's 1–2 light‑year range.

On the vast continent of the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, Xiao Yu materialized out of thin air; numerous Teleportation Channels had been built here, allowing Divine Kingdom teleportation without fearing other strong beings probing the Divine Kingdom coordinates.

Suddenly a figure appeared beside Xiao Yu—Seven Sword King.

"Seven Sword King," Xiao Yu said.

"Time‑Space King, thanks again for last time," Seven Sword King laughed, giving Xiao Yu a solemn look. "Hey, you have become Immortal!"

"Just a trivial effort," Xiao Yu smiled faintly. "This time I still need to trouble Seven Sword King."

"No trouble. This time I also need to use a former enslaved servant to perform Divine Kingdom teleportation; he has a coordinate within ten thousand light‑years of Zijing Island," Seven Sword King said.

"Thank you," Xiao Yu said.

With a wave of his hand, Seven Sword King caused an Alien Tribe creature, covered in scales and with a thin violet membrane on its face, to appear beside him.

This Alien creature drew the attention of the surrounding crowd.

"That's Seven Sword King! How did he get to our Virtual Universe Company Headquarters?"

"Who is the one beside him? He looks oddly familiar."

"Of course, that's the famed Time‑Space King, whose title was personally bestowed by the Chaos City Lord!"

"Yes, yes, it's the Time‑Space King! Rumor has it he slays Alien Tribe Seal Kings on the Outer Realm Battlefield like butchering dogs—sounds exhilarating!"

Though the murmurs were faint, those human strongmen deliberately left the sound unmuted, clearly to let Xiao Yu and Seven Sword King hear.

"Some of us at the Virtual Universe Company are a bit too enthusiastic; no need to argue," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Ha ha, why would I care? Anyone standing with you can't avoid being noticed!" Seven Sword King laughed, having long been used to such attention.

"Ha ha." Xiao Yu laughed heartily.

Seven Sword King looked at the servant beside him and ordered, "Divine Kingdom teleport."

"Yes." The Alien Tribe servant immediately began to activate Divine Kingdom teleport.
