Chapter 281, The Beginning
Extraterritorial battlefield, Star Tower, Core Hall
After his clone, possessing the power of a cosmic overlord, attended the Supreme Council, Puti's true body sat there cross-legged, motionless for a long time.
The young man who knelt here before the Star Tower, accepting its recognition as his master with no way out, has now come to his side and stands shoulder to shoulder with him.
Even within the clan, having never revealed his true strength, his status was far inferior to his!
However, the so-called "not revealing his true strength" was just self-comfort. Ever since the Shadow Blade Master resurrected that young man, he knew that the Shadow Blade Master knew he was the Lord of the Universe. And the Shadow Blade Master also knew he knew; he was waiting for the Shadow Blade Master to come knocking and expose the fact that he was the Lord of the Universe, but he didn't.
Neither the Lord of Shadow Blade, nor Mingyu, nor any other universe lords had ever sought him out. He continued to live peacefully and contentedly within his race as a carefree and detached universe overlord, receiving the same treatment as in the previous endless eras, without any reduction.
In fact, he was used to it. After all, he had been a cosmic sovereign for countless epochs, and this was how he had lived all these epochs.
However, he sometimes wonders if he could reveal his true strength and sit in the high seat of the Hongmeng Palace Master when the highest meeting begins, overlooking all the cosmic venerables, wouldn't the view be even better?
The cosmic sea, the snowy mist domain of Beihua.
Within a magnificent palace, numerous venerable servants moved about. High above, a recluse with crystalline horns held a piece of cyan material in his hand, his gaze seemingly trying to penetrate the primordial cosmic membrane to land on that small star system.
And the man who had just become the ruler of the universe.
He received a message from his eldest disciple, which confirmed that the boy who had failed to recognize a master had now reached the level of a universe master.
After a long while, the mountain dweller withdrew his light.
A moment of calm on the sea surface does not mean there are no undercurrents beneath the surface; often, those unseen, chaotic undercurrents are the most deadly.
Solar System, Earth, Jiangnan Base City, Yi'an District Third High School.
"Ding ding ding!" As the loud bell rang throughout the campus, a commotion immediately broke out. Large numbers of students poured out of the teaching buildings, chatting and laughing as they walked toward the school gate.
A new era dawned, destruction gave way to reconstruction, and martial arts flourished. With basic order established, martial arts became the only chance for ordinary people at the bottom of society to change their fate. So even on their way home from school, many boys and girls would still enthusiastically practice various moves, their enthusiasm undiminished.
Thousands of meters above the city, beyond the city's defenses, a bird with a wingspan of over twenty meters flew by. In its supersonic flight, it suddenly let out a piercing cry like thunder. The rolling sound waves shattered some of the glass on the exterior walls of the buildings below, and debris fell to the ground.
However, most people in this era were quite agile, and although the falling glass shards were quite fast, they did not cause any harm. Most people were able to avoid them, and many even caught the flying glass shards with their bare hands.
As the sunset paints the sky, the moon rises, and the streetlights come on, night falls in the city.
"You, as the sovereign of the universe, have guarded this place for thousands of years. Even the Mountain Hermit should give you an award." In the garden of a villa, Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, and Mingyu, dressed in black, sat facing each other, like the Black and White Impermanence. There were two cups of tea on the stone table in front of them.
Mingyu shook his head, looking at the clear tea in front of him. The tea leaves floated up and down in the bright yellow tea soup, just like his life.
He and Ye Muxuan had a good relationship, always communicating on equal terms, like teacher and friend. In addition, Ye Muxuan knew all his secrets, and naturally, due to his personality, Mingyu rarely spoke in front of him.
"How are those people doing cultivating in your divine kingdom?" Seeing that Mingyu didn't respond, Ye Muxuan remembered something and asked. Before Mingyu became a master of the universe, Ye Muxuan's main body stayed here with him for hundreds of thousands of years. During that time, some humans who looked pleasing to the eye were taken into the divine kingdom by the two of them when they were about to die, so that they could be reborn and embark on the path of cultivation.
If they truly choose to perish and leave this world rather than cultivate, then neither Ye Muxuan nor Mingyu would need to beg them; they can simply do as they please.
Most of the people Ye Muxuan took into his divine kingdom were the ancestors of the human race from the tribal era, while most of those Mingyu took into his divine kingdom were later human sages with extremely high attainments in their mental states. However, they both knew that the Mountain Guest was involved, so those they took in were taken away when they were on their deathbeds.
"It's alright. Most of them can follow the path of mentalists and illusionists. It won't be difficult to produce a few more immortals in the future. As for cosmic venerables or even cosmic masters, that's uncertain." Mingyu replied. Immortals are fine; even if one's talent is poor, one can simply use resources to force their way up. But cosmic venerables and cosmic masters cannot be achieved by simply using resources, or rather, ordinary resources are not enough.
"My twenty-odd people are about the same. I plan to send them to Chaos City. They are all nominal disciples. As for what level they can reach in the future, that depends on themselves." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, swept his gaze across the star-studded sky and said, "I won't stay here with you any longer. There are many things to deal with in the clan. This Earth is too small after all."
Yes, it's just a life-bearing planet. Even the biggest events on it are minor matters in the context of a star system, and even more insignificant in the face of the entire human race.
"I'm also planning to leave." Mingyu, dressed in black, withdrew his gaze from the various corners of the city. "After all, I am a master of the universe. It's fine to rest here for thousands of years. My race has nurtured me, and I can't stay forever. Earth is indeed too small."
"Then let's go to the Cosmic Sea; there are more opportunities there," said Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe.
"Okay." Mingyu, dressed in all black, nodded.
The two figures vanished without a trace, along with the villa, as the night wind blew by.
No life on Earth knows that such a great being as the Lord of the Universe once stayed on this planet for hundreds of thousands of years, witnessing its cultural development and dynastic changes.
However, we may only know this when the life on this planet ventures out of the universe and becomes qualified to access the core of their species.
In Yi'an District, a boy running through the night to his tutoring session suddenly looked up, staring blankly in a certain direction, momentarily lost in thought.
Then he came to his senses.
He even began to doubt whether he was under too much pressure due to the upcoming college entrance examination. It was a wilderness area, what was there to see? He wasn't a martial artist yet, it was too early to be thinking about these things.
Then, shaking his head, the lean body of the short black-haired boy resembled a leopard in the dark. He ran and jumped with ease, arriving at the gate of a villa residential area. After being let in by the security guard, he entered the villa area.
