Chapter 454: Divergent Mirror Stone

Virtual Universe, the highest peak of Thunder Island.

Inside the palace.

Xiao Yu appeared out of nowhere, then gazed toward the deep Hun Dun airflow, took a step forward, and was already before the Chaos City Lord.

His Human True Body's primary consciousness resides in the Inheritance Space, but his many Soul Splits can freely handle all kinds of affairs, even combat.

"Teacher." Xiao Yu bowed respectfully.

"Xiao Yu, I heard you caused quite a stir in the Black Patterned Pillar Space," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.

"Teacher, how did you know?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

Now the entire Human Race's territories have increased by more than double, and the territories overseen by the Virtual Universe Company have also grown by more than double.

Especially since most of these territories are newly acquired; although humanity has again proliferated for nearly a whole era, the daily occurrences are countless.

There are also many matters that require the Chaos City Lord's handling.

"The Black Patterned Stone Pillar area's time flow has slowed by half," the Chaos City Lord said directly, "Rumors from the Cosmic Sea say it was caused by you taking a treasure from that area."

"Teacher, I did indeed acquire a treasure, but as for whether that is the exact cause, I am also aware," Xiao Yu replied.

He had only just heard about it as well.

"It is said they are scheming, collectively demanding you explain the reason. The Lord of the Universe of the Hongmeng Alliance has been excluded," the Chaos City Lord said solemnly.

"Ha ha, Teacher, no need to worry. Though the Black Patterned Pillar Space does have some Lords of the Universe, they are scattered among dozens of factions in the Cosmic Sea, and their minds are not united," Xiao Yu said unbothered, "Just a few jumping-beam clowns, no need to mind them."

"Fine, I remind you, you turned around and comforted me," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.

"Ha ha." Xiao Yu laughed heartily.

The Chaos City Lord laughed along for a while, then after a moment the laughter ceased.

"Xiao Yu, just now on the Primeval Star, was it you who intervened to help Luo Feng?" the Chaos City Lord suddenly asked.

"Teacher, I don't quite understand what you mean," Xiao Yu said, puzzled.

Lately he has been busy cultivating and hasn't paid much attention to Luo Feng's affairs.

"Earlier, Luo Feng was training on the Primeval Star, and because of an Ultimate Treasure, he was besieged by numerous venerables from forces including the Ring Alliance, Insect Race Alliance, Northern Frontier Alliance, Demon Race Alliance, and the Nine Domains Alliance. In the battle, a black exotic beast stepped in and slashed down thirteen venerables; that black exotic beast was a manifestation of the cultivated Gold Beast God path." The Chaos City Lord explained, "I know you excel at changing appearances and have also practiced the path of the Gold Beast God, which is why I thought it was you who acted."

Xiao Yu listened and seemed thoughtful.

He did not expect that even with such a massive plot shift, Luo Feng's training continued as usual.

"Teacher, it's not me; I don't have that time!" Xiao Yu laughed, "But, Teacher, Luo Feng also cultivates the Gold Beast God path; he, like me, is a perfect‑gene being."

"What? He's also a perfect‑gene being, which means he also possesses the Innate Secret Method granted by the Original Will, with 10,081‑fold genes, and combined with his inheritance of the Beast God path, killing thirteen venerables is indeed possible. Oh, and he also has a Golden‑horned Giant Beast clone, which truly suits the Beast God path." The Chaos City Lord seemed to have an epiphany, then was overjoyed, "Ha ha, you didn't tell me, I couldn't recall it."

"Indeed, my fourth brother is a genius; now he has top‑tier overlord‑level strength," Xiao Yu laughed.

"Xiao Yu, given your temperament, shouldn't you be storming into the strongholds of the Ring Alliance, Insect Race Alliance, Northern Frontier Alliance, Demon Race Alliance, and the Nine Domains Alliance?" the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.

"Teacher, that's not likely. The people below fighting and tempering is normal; as long as it's not Soul Invasion, even if Luo Feng truly fell, he could revive, and I wouldn't mind such a clash." Xiao Yu laughed, then his expression hardened, and he said coldly, "If they dare employ Soul Invasion, they can't blame me for being petty."

"Ha ha, not bad, you already have the spirit of taking charge," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.

…

Luo Feng's having a top‑tier overlord friend became known throughout the Primordial Universe, and many of the more powerful forces learned of it.

And the Ring Alliance, Insect Race Alliance, Northern Frontier Alliance, Demon Race Alliance, and the Nine Domains Alliance all revived the fallen venerables, seeking the parties involved to uncover the truth.

After this incident, at first the leaders of the five great forces were quite nervous, especially the Insect Tribe Queen and the Dream Demon Ancestor, the two strongest beings.

They deeply understood Xiao Yu and Luo Feng's relationship, fearing that one day Xiao Yu might come crashing in.

But after more than a decade of anxious anticipation, seeing no sign of Xiao Yu, they finally relaxed.

They no longer meddle with such matters below.

However, both of them also ordered below, "No one may use Soul Invasion or enslavement tactics against Human Race geniuses or strong individuals."

They must be cautious.

The past remains vivid, as if it happened just yesterday.

…

Vast Divine Kingdom.

In a valley lined with ancient trees, massive pits dotted the ground, and countless ancient trees were toppled by raging winds.

At a ten‑thousand‑fold time flow, Hong has already cultivated for over 2,000 eras.

"Third Brother." Hong shouted upward suddenly.

Silently.

Xiao Yu appeared out of nowhere within the temporal‑spatial barrier and said, "Elder brother, what's wrong?"

"Third Brother, I have completed the Dark Teacher's orders and independently forged a Lord of the Universe secret technique," Hong said.

"Fine, I'll now send elder brother back to the Primordial Secret Realm." Xiao Yu waved his hand; the temporal‑spatial barrier enveloping the valley vanished, and the countless trees and pits in the valley seemed to revert to their original state as if time were reversed.

With a sudden thought, Nine‑colored Divine Power enveloped Hong, and then endless radiance flashed; Hong vanished.

"Eh?" Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise.

The Virtual Universe System sent an email, showing that Luo Feng had just, in the Initial Universe, scanned a Divergent Mirror Stone.

"Let's set the key that opens the Divergent Divine Hall at 40 Treasure Points," Xiao Yu casually set a price on the Virtual Universe System.

After all, this concerns a key to a peak‑domain Ultimate Treasure, so even an expensive price is fine; moreover, it's only a reference.

Luo Feng won't redeem it, and Xiao Yu doesn't mind.

There are a total of 36 Divergent Mirror Stones; only after all have emerged will the Divergent Divine Hall open, and only those possessing a Divergent Mirror Stone may enter.

Virtual Universe, Great Axe Plane.

Along both sides of the long stone table, every Human Race Lord of the Universe was present.

And at the head seat, only the Giant Axe Founder sat alone.

"Everyone has arrived," the Giant Axe Founder said, looking to both sides.

On both sides, the 18 Lords of the Universe respectfully looked toward the main seat's Giant Axe Founder.

"The Creator Lord is currently busy with important matters and will not attend this meeting for now, but his opinion has already been conveyed to me," the Giant Axe Founder said with a smile.

"Luo Feng obtained the divergent mirror stone, and that stone is linked to a treasure of the Peak Domain-type tier," the Giant Axe Founder said directly. "A Peak Realm Treasure, even for my Human Race, is extremely important and merits discussion by everyone."

"I'll first state Xiao Yu's opinion," the Giant Axe Founder said softly. "Although Luo Sheng is his brother, he will not protect him. However, my Human Race now possesses many Peak Treasures; it's not a matter of having one more Peak Treasure or one fewer Peak Treasure." (End of chapter)
