#406 - Status is achieved through strength!
Universe Lord!
This represents the pinnacle of combat power within the entire primal universe, a realm of cultivation that relies on more than just talent.
In the ways of space-time, comprehending a single superior law leads to becoming a Universe Venerable. Mastering both space and time's superior laws allows one to become a Universe Lord.
Yet, if it were truly that simple, the number of Universe Lords in the entire primal universe wouldn't be so scarce.
Cultivation.
Ultimately encounters bottlenecks.
Even someone as ridiculously overpowered as Luo Feng still spent a considerable amount of time at the Universe Venerable stage. Without suitable opportunities or that spark of inspiration for a breakthrough...
Relying solely on accumulation...
How long would that accumulation even take?
"What are you chatting about?"
A voice came from afar, and another figure approached. Judging by his mountain-like physique and the dragon tail extending behind him, it was clear that it was Lord Dragon Traveler.
"Lord Dragon Traveler," Yang Wu greeted with a nod.
"Haha, Yang Wu, the Ancestral God once guided me as well, bestowing great kindness upon me. If you don't mind, just call me Senior Brother," Lord Dragon Traveler said with a smile.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Dragon Traveler!" Yang Wu readily seized the opportunity, addressing him directly.
"Haha, good!"
Just as everyone was laughing and talking, an icy aura permeated the air.
Yang Wu knew that it was Lord Ice Peak arriving. Turning his head, sure enough...
A silver-haired man with streaks of gray at his temples was walking from afar, clad in an ancient armor stained with blood. He possessed remarkably handsome features,
largely aligning with the human race's overall aesthetic.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Ice Peak!"
"Mm."
Lord Ice Peak merely nodded slightly in response. He approached the stone table, nodded to City Lord Chaos, and then sat down directly.
Subsequently, his gaze swept over Lord Dragon Traveler and Lord Nether Sovereign, offering only slight nods to each.
His personality was inherently like this.
Even when facing other super powerhouses of humanity, or even Giant Axe Founder, his attitude remained the same.
After waiting a little longer, another figure approached from afar. Before the figure could be clearly seen, an eerie aura of darkness began to spread.
He was simply dressed in a black outer robe, beneath which lay a peculiar armor combining silver and black.
He was bald, with skin as fair as jade.
His head bore extremely bizarre and intricate black markings, and his eyes were like those of a venomous snake eyeing its prey, sending chills down one's spine.
The surrounding space-time was affected by him, plunging the entire area into a strange atmosphere.
"Junior Brother, take it easy," City Lord Chaos said, "Junior Brother Yang Wu isn't a Universe Lord yet; he can't withstand the dark illusion you're emitting."
"Senior Brother," Lord of Darkness replied, immediately dispelling the strange illusion.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Darkness!"
Yang Wu was secretly horrified. He hadn't noticed at all when he fell into Lord of Darkness's strange illusion, constantly affected.
If this were in the midst of battle, his combat state would definitely be greatly affected, preventing him from displaying his true strength.
He still had a long way to go in terms of improving his will and consciousness.
"Mm."
Lord of Darkness nodded and walked over to sit down directly.
With this, the five Universe Lords of the Virtual Universe Company lineage had gathered.
"Junior Brother, if I hadn't seen you in person, I would have found it hard to believe that someone could reach Universe Overlord-level strength in less than ten thousand years of cultivation!"
Lord of Darkness scrutinized Yang Wu, and after a while, he added, "To reach this level in such a short time is truly unbelievable!"
The Universe Lords present all nodded slightly. It was indeed unbelievable. Had they not personally witnessed Yang Wu's rise, they would have found it difficult to believe this miracle.
Yang Wu could only smile, as he couldn't respond to this topic.
"Alright, let's talk about serious matters."
City Lord Chaos's gaze swept over the Universe Lords present. "Now, the main members of our Virtual Universe Company lineage have gathered."
As soon as City Lord Chaos spoke, Lord Dragon Traveler, Lord Ice Peak, Lord of Darkness, Lord Nether Sovereign, and Yang Wu all looked over, listening to City Lord Chaos's words.
Within the Virtual Universe Company lineage, City Lord Chaos was undoubtedly the leader in terms of strength, status, and contribution.
City Lord Chaos said with a smile, "Our Junior Brother Yang Wu has perfect genes. I believe everyone is aware of this."
Everyone nodded slightly. Every Universe Lord of the human race had contributed to some extent to the improvement of Yang Wu's human body's life gene level.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to gather all the resources for improvement in such a short period of time.
"Upon obtaining the perfect genes, the universe's origin will bestowed a supreme talent technique. This supreme talent technique is—"
As City Lord Chaos slowly explained, the faces of the Universe Lords present changed. Even Lord Ice Peak, whose expression never changed, couldn't help but be slightly moved.
"Controlling divine power burning?"
"Controlling the degree of flow rate, burning and stopping at any time?"
"Is this still a fourth-tier secret technique?"
As Universe Lords, they naturally knew the significance of perfect gene level. First of all, the divine body, which was ninety thousand kilometers tall, already exceeded that of the Universe Lords present.
Secondly, the supreme talent technique was directly a fourth-tier secret technique, requiring no comprehension or creation of their own. The primal universe's will directly bestowed it in one step.
However, they had not expected that the supreme talent technique bestowed by the origin will would be so extremely perverse, a perfect match for the super-large divine body.
"Haha, that's not all. In addition to the talent technique, Junior Brother also has two clones: a World Tree clone and a Nine Nether Sea clone!"
"Hiss!"
These Universe Lords had gone from being moved to being shocked.
The ability to create clones was a relatively common life-saving ability in the primal universe, especially in the universe sea. When encountering danger, having a clone greatly increased the chances of survival.
As long as one's soul wasn't annihilated, the most one would lose was some divine power and treasures, which was better than directly falling. At their level,
falling meant that space-time could not be reversed to revive them.
Neither the World Tree clone nor the Nine Nether Sea clone should be underestimated. Both possessed super-large divine bodies. One was born with control over space-time, and the other had a reckless fighting style.
One should know, why was the Lord of Nine Nethers terrifying?
It was because the Lord of Nine Nethers dared to use the strongest talent technique to fight desperately every time. Even if the Lord of Nine Nethers self-destructed, a new Lord of Nine Nethers would emerge in the blink of an eye.
However, even if opponents had talent clones, the cost of restoring a powerful divine body was extremely high, making the Lord of Nine Nethers an extremely difficult existence to deal with in the universe.
Yang Wu watched with a smile on the side. He had no dissatisfaction with Senior Brother Chaos revealing these things about him. Status was earned through strength.
Potential!
This was the only thing he could offer that would make the Universe Lords take him seriously.
Revealing this meant that even though he wasn't a Universe Lord yet, the other Universe Lords present would no longer treat him as a "junior" but truly as a future peer.
At his current level, he no longer needed to develop secretly internally like before. Only by appropriately displaying his potential would he usher in better development.
Of course, he still had to be discreet when necessary, especially when facing the outside world. Yang Wu didn't want to provoke the strongest in the universe to assassinate him now.
