Chapter 315: Creator Lord
"Junior brother," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.
"Senior brother," the Lord of Darkness said, then turned to Xiao Yu, "So this is the disciple you taught, Xiao Yu?"
The Lord of Darkness's voice echoed in his mind like a seductive demon; Xiao Yu was slightly startled, then recovered.
"My disciple has great talent; I hardly put any effort, yet he already possesses this strength, and can even forge Top-level Treasures for the clan. If we told others, they'd think it's a story," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile; as his voice rang out, the surrounding aura instantly softened, dispelling the earlier eerie demon.
The Lord of Darkness's complexion instantly became unnatural, and even the Dragon Xing Zhuzhu who had arrived earlier flushed red, barely holding back a laugh.
"I've met Master Uncle," Xiao Yu said.
"I heard you've cultivated for less than a hundred thousand years," the Lord of Darkness examined Xiao Yu, "To achieve your current strength in such a short time, you truly are the Human Race's most talented prodigy."
A cold aura spread, and the Lord of Ice Peak, bearing a battle sword, walked slowly; the ancient battle armor seemed as if blood droplets clung to it. The Lord of Ice Peak's appearance was handsome, fitting Xiao Yu's Earth human aesthetic.
The Lord of Ice Peak walked step by step to the stone chair and sat down.
"Now, the six Universe Lords of the Virtual Universe Lineage have gathered," the Chaos City Lord's gaze swept the room.
Xiao Yu, the Lord of Darkness, the Dragon Xing Zhuzhu and the other five Universe Lords all turned to listen to the Chaos City Lord.
"The emergence of another Universe Lord is a blessing for my Virtual Universe Lineage and also for the Human Race," the Chaos City Lord laughed, "Moreover, whether in survivability or strength, my disciple is likely among the top of our six."
"Oh?" the Lord of Darkness looked over.
The Lord of Ice Peak also silently looked at Xiao Yu.
"Really?" the Lord of Silent Marquis and the Dragon Xing Zhuzhu both spoke.
The four of them had never heard the Great Axe's appraisal, so naturally they didn't know Xiao Yu had already created a Seven-Tier Secret Technique.
"Xiao Yu—first, he possesses the Talent Clone Ability, and his clone's life resembles the World Tree; second, he created the Universe's Strongest Secret Technique, and in the Primordial Universe, even without the Strongest Supreme Treasure, he can wield Sixth Tier Universe Lord power," the Chaos City Lord said directly.
"Universe's Strongest Secret Technique?"
"World Tree Clone?"
The Lord of Darkness, the Dragon Xing Zhuzhu, the Lord of Ice Peak, and the Lord of Silent Marquis all looked at Xiao Yu in surprise.
"Just luck," Xiao Yu said with a smile.
He wasn't worried that the teacher exposed his strength; within the Human Race, status is earned through power. Moreover, these Universe Lords are the controllers of the Human Race, so they have no chance of betraying themselves, nor of leaking this information.
"Xiao Yu, how large is your Divine Body?" the Lord of Darkness asked curiously, and the other Universe Lords did likewise.
"How to measure? My World Tree Divine Body is 2 light-years tall, with a canopy roughly 100 light-years in diameter," Xiao Yu gave a conservative figure.
"2... light-years?" the Lord of Silent Marquis inhaled sharply.
"Are you sure? You said light-years, not hundred-million kilometers?" the Lord of Darkness, the Dragon Xing Zhuzhu, and the Lord of Ice Peak all stared with wide eyes, stunned into silence.
A World Tree 2 light-years tall absolutely defies common sense. Even the Venerable Rank World Tree of the Nine Nether Space is only a few hundred million kilometers tall.
"My disciple's World Tree is somewhat different," the Chaos City Lord said.
Who has seen a Venerable Rank World Tree that can endure attacks from a Universe Lord? The Chaos City Lord had tried before, and even with his full force he could not damage a single segment of the World Tree's root.
"Impressive!"
"Truly strong!"
The Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Ice Peak and others voiced their praise. Now they truly believed the Chaos City Lord's words; Xiao Yu's strength exceeding theirs could not be a boast.
"Xiao Yu, we will soon hold the highest-level meeting of the Human Race; have you considered a title for your Universe Lord status?" the Chaos City Lord said.
"A title?" Xiao Yu thought briefly; he had used many names before, such as Time-Space King, San Yan Wang, Yan Sancai, Ape Three Sword, but all felt unsuitable.
"Time-Space King was a name you used back then; you can adopt Lord of Time-Space, or change it yourself," the Chaos City Lord said, "After becoming a Universe Lord, many have new ideas, so most Universe Lords adopt a new title. For example, I, entrusted by the teacher to sit in Chaos City, changed my name to 'Chaos City Lord' to constantly remember the teacher's instruction."
Xiao Yu nodded.
He understood that some strong ones, while weak, might not dare to take a defiant name, but upon becoming a Universe Lord they would adopt a striking title.
But he was different; when he was a Realm Lord he dared to use the Time-Space King title, yet as a Universe Lord he felt Lord of Time-Space was unsuitable, lacking creativity, because all Universe Lords can control time and space.
Some Universe Lords take titles based on their favored weapons.
Some use their hometowns as titles. Some use their inner goals or concerns as titles.
So how should Xiao Yu choose a title then?
"Creator Lord," Xiao Yu said with a smile, "I'll call myself Creator Lord!"
He thought of the secret technique he had created; it had already reached the Universe's Strongest Secret Technique and could certainly serve as his emblem.
"Creator Lord?"
The five Universe Lords present thought briefly, then looked at Xiao Yu in surprise.
Xiao Yu's ambition is huge!
However, the greater Xiao Yu's ambition, the better for the Human Race.
The five Universe Lords did not object; the title was somewhat defiant, but it did not break any taboo—after all, it wasn't 'Mechanical Lord', so it wouldn't attract attacks from other factions.
"Very well, then I, the sixth Universe Lord of the Virtual Universe Lineage, shall be Creator Lord," the Chaos City Lord rose, "Let's go meet the Founder of the Virtual Universe Lineage."
"Yuan?" Xiao Yu thought eagerly.
"Let's go, see the teacher," the Lord of Darkness also rose.
"To see the teacher," the Lord of Ice Peak also rose.
Instantly the six Universe Lords flew straight toward the high sky's Endless Chaotic Airflow, advancing continuously along it.
"Xiao Yu," the Chaos City Lord said while flying, "I, the Lord of Darkness, and Ice Peak are all the teacher's disciples. The teacher has made great contributions to our Human Race; without the teacher, the Human Race wouldn't have become a Peak Clan so easily. Even the Giant Axe Founder received the teacher's guidance and benefitted from his grace."
Yuan was the Human Race's first Universe's Strongest, also its top master; even the Great Axe's power was not as great as Yuan's.
"Because of the teacher, I, the Lord of Darkness, and Ice Peak have what we have today," the Chaos City Lord said.
The Dragon Xing Zhuzhu beside him also said, "I too have received the senior's guidance."
Xiao Yu understood that many early strong ones of the Human Race had, to varying degrees, received Yuan's guidance.
"The teacher is named 'Yuan', the strongest of the strongest in my Primordial Universe, who roams the Cosmic Sea and is invincible," the Chaos City Lord said softly, "Back then my Human Race was considered the universe's top power; even the Ancestor God Sect did not dare to provoke us."
"Arrived," the Chaos City Lord said.
The surrounding endless airflow had already grown thin; in the far distance of the endless void, there stood a towering statue of boundless height.
Gazing at the statue, Xiao Yu felt as if he were beholding the Universe Origin; the Ten Fundamental Laws were all contained within it.
