Chapter 464: Yuan Zu Appears

After the Giant Axe Conference, the Chaos City Lord held a small internal meeting of the Virtual Universe inside the palace on Thunder Island.

The seven Universe Lords of the Virtual Universe Lineage were all present.

The main purpose of this meeting was to introduce Luo Feng to the various Universe Lords of the Virtual Universe Lineage.

After all, they would become our closest comrades in the future, so they needed to get to know each other in advance.

During the meeting, Xiao Yu, the Chaos City Lord, and five others chatted merrily.

"Xiao Yu, thanks to your bodyguard this time; otherwise my Peak Realm Treasure might have been snatched by the Lord of Proud Moon and his companions from the Second Reincarnation Era," the Lord of Darkness said with a smile.

Five hundred years ago, Mie Shen Jian produced another Peak Realm Treasure called "Sandy Flame Sea," and it happened to be seized by the passing Lord of Proud Moon and his party.

The Lord of Darkness rode the Eternal Illusion Ship there, first sending the Lava Demon God to drive away the three Universe Lords, including the Lord of Proud Moon, and then leisurely completed the treasure's recognition procedure.

It was equivalent to picking up a Peak Realm Treasure for free.

"It's just Master Uncle's good luck," Xiao Yu laughed, taking no credit.

"If my Virtual Universe Lineage adds another Universe Lord, the Lord of Void Gold will probably never look pleased thereafter," the Lord of Ice Peak said with a smile.

The seven Universe Lords of the Virtual Universe Lineage conversed with each other, and Luo Feng occasionally interjected a few words.

"Luo Feng, why didn't you ask me to support you in that battle on the Primeval Star?" Xiao Yu rebuked.

"If I had asked you and you went, would we still look impressive?" Dragon Xing Zhuzhu laughed.

"Third brother, didn't I hear you're busy in the Cosmic Sea?" Luo Feng said.

"Luo Feng, that's not right; if he's busy, does that mean we're not?" Dragon Xing Zhuzhu shouted.

"No, that's not what I meant," Luo Feng shook his head repeatedly, denying.

"In a moment we'll hold the highest council of the Human Race, and before that, Luo Feng, have you decided on a title for your Universe Lord status?" the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.

Luo Feng thought for a long while.

"Galactic Lord," Luo Feng said with a grin, "I'll just call myself Galactic Lord."

"Fine, then the seventh Universe Lord of my Virtual Universe Lineage shall be called the Galactic Realm," the Chaos City Lord said, then turned to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, you were developing the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region earlier; was that in preparation for today?"

The Chaos City Lord, after hearing Luo Feng claim the title Galactic Lord, roughly guessed that the Galactic Lord's permanent residence would henceforth be the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.

"Who knows?" Xiao Yu laughed, neither confirming nor denying.

"Alright, next we should go pay respects to Yuan Zu," the Chaos City Lord said directly.

"Yuan Zu?" Luo Feng asked in confusion; it was his first time hearing the name.

"Yuan Zu is the Human Race's first Strongest Being and the true founder of my Virtual Universe Lineage. Nowadays most Human Race Universe Lords have received Yuan Zu's blessings," Xiao Yu said.

"Indeed, even the Giant Axe Founder received guidance from Yuan Zu. I, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of Ice Peak are all direct disciples of Yuan Zu," the Chaos City Lord said.

The seven of them spoke while continuously soaring upward through the chaotic currents.

In a moment's time, they arrived in a void, where the Chaos City Lord led the seven in worshipping the lifelike statue of Yuan Zu.

The Chaos City Lord then recounted recent achievements of the Human Race and formally introduced Luo Feng to Yuan Zu.

"I pay respects to Master Ancestor," Luo Feng said, bowing respectfully.

"Excellent! Another Universe Lord has emerged among the Human Race," a gentle voice said.

"Yuan Zu is speaking again; could it be that Luo Feng is a Creator Lord‑level genius?"

The Lord of Ice Peak and the Lord of Darkness pondered silently.

"Master," the Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Ice Peak, and others quickly bowed again.

"Alright, you may step back; I have matters to discuss with the Creator Lord," the gentle voice sounded again.

"Understood."

The Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Ice Peak, and the others all took their leave and departed.

Xiao Yu was left behind, genuinely baffled; he couldn't understand why Yuan Zu had kept him.

"Master Ancestor," Xiao Yu said, looking puzzled at the Yuan Zu statue.

A burst of dazzling light flashed.

In front of Xiao Yu appeared an exceedingly kind, handsome young man whose appearance was identical to the Yuan Zu statue, only much younger.

"Xiao Yu, I have been watching you for a long time," Yuan Zu said with a smile, "Well done."

"Thank you for the praise, Master Ancestor," Xiao Yu smiled and nodded.

Looking at Yuan Zu, Xiao Yu's mood brightened.

"Are you puzzled about why I kept you?" Yuan Zu asked with a smile.

"Hmm," Xiao Yu nodded slightly.

He indeed had such a question.

"This time it isn't I who have a request, but the Primordial Universe that needs you," Yuan Zu said directly.

"Oh? If the Original Will has a matter, shouldn't the Ancestor God Sect handle it?" Xiao Yu asked, puzzled.

Within the Primordial Universe, the Ancestor God Sect serves as the representative of the Original Will, and many affairs are conveyed through the sect.

Yet Xiao Yu didn't believe Yuan Zu would deceive him.

So what kind of matter would the Original Will convey through Yuan Zu? One must know that Yuan Zu has always been an object of suppression by the Primordial Universe.

"The Cosmic Sea will face a massive crisis; the Original Will hopes you can repair the Cosmic Vessel to combat the future threat," Yuan Zu declared solemnly.

"A massive crisis? What exactly is the crisis? Did the Original Will specify?" Xiao Yu asked.

"No, the Original Will only sensed that this is a life‑or‑death crisis for the entire Cosmic Sea. That loosened its suppression of me a bit, allowing me to convey the message," Yuan Zu said gravely. "The Primordial Universe also said that if you can repair the Cosmic Vessel, you may claim all the treasures inside."

"Oh, not even telling me what the crisis is—how stingy," Xiao Yu snorted. "I'm only at the Universe Lord level now; repairing the Cosmic Vessel would be difficult. As far as I know, the forger of the Cosmic Vessel is at a level far beyond the Strongest Being, and treasures forged at that level are beyond my current capability to repair."

Xiao Yu was both stating the facts and making excuses; the reward promised by the Original Will was utterly insincere.

"Next, the Original Will will speak to you directly," Yuan Zu said.

A flash of light followed, and then Yuan Zu vanished.

"It just disappeared, and I haven't even agreed? What's going on?" Xiao Yu was left a bit confused.

…

Primordial Universe, Creation Universe Nation.

In the continuous palace complex, within the most towering palace, Xiao Yu opened his eyes.

He was left a bit at a loss by the Original Will.

Although he also intends to repair the Cosmic Vessel, he still lacks the strength for it now.

Now is not the best time either; to repair it must wait until Jin's World finishes colliding with the Cosmic Vessel. Moreover, even if Xiao Yu repairs the Cosmic Vessel, he cannot control it for the time being.

That is an Ultimate Treasure spanning billions of light‑years in length; its consumption is far beyond what Xiao Yu can currently endure. (End of chapter)
