"The Original Universe, incomparable to a small universe, or even the World of Jin," Zuo Shanke observed Luo Feng. "Every cycle of its existence contains ultimate profound mysteries. Even I am forbidden from viewing the origin source, should I wish to enter. The Original Universe would rather release the Primal Ancestor than easily grant such a great opportunity to you."

"However..."

"Faced with the threat of the World Beasts, and the immense opportunity before you, I believe it will ultimately make the best choice," Zuo Shanke smiled at Luo Feng. "Truthfully, I envy you. Alas, envy is useless."

Luo Feng secretly pondered the deep significance hidden in Zuo Shanke's words. His current achievements—the inheritance of the Duandong River lineage and the Title Mission in the World of Jin—must have exceeded Zuo Shanke's expectations, granting him terrifying strength.

"Teacher," Luo Feng suddenly stated with gravity.

"Mm?" Zuo Shanke looked at Luo Feng.

"You orchestrated the Yan God Race lineage, and my Earth lineage," Luo Feng continued abruptly. "I wonder why? This disciple has always held doubts. Teacher has shown me immense grace; should you command... this disciple will naturally exert every effort."

Zuo Shanke looked deeply at Luo Feng, then burst into laughter.

"Luo Feng, look around you." Zuo Shanke gestured vaguely.

Luo Feng surveyed his surroundings. Around the broken ship, the scorching flames, avoided by the cold air, were trembling. An invisible pressure constantly enveloped the area—the pressure of the will of the Original Universe's origin source. Clearly, the origin source will had descended... angered by some of Zuo Shanke's words, yet utterly powerless.

"With the origin will enveloping us, there are some things I can articulate, and some I cannot, no matter how much I wish to say," Zuo Shanke said, looking at Luo Feng. "Just like in the Sea of Universe, I cannot reveal inheritance messages concerning things above 'True God'."

Luo Feng nodded.

"It's not that I withhold it, it's that I am currently unable to tell you," Zuo Shanke whispered softly. "This involves ancient civilizations, the greatest secret of the entire Sea of Universe. I can only tell you when the time is right."

"What is the right time?" Luo Feng pressed.

"I am quite satisfied with your strength, but now is not the appropriate moment," Zuo Shanke shook his head. "Do not ask further; even if you do, I cannot speak."

Luo Feng fell into thought.

Involving ancient civilizations?

Involving the greatest secret of the Sea of Universe? Yes, he had long suspected a connection between Zuo Shanke and the Jin Kingdom...

"Then I shall await Teacher's command at any time," Luo Feng replied.

"Remember this," Zuo Shanke cautioned. "Do not underestimate the World Beasts. Sending your Moshak Clan avatar to the World Beast Lair was a wise move... Your strength has not yet reached its peak. The other True Gods have hit their limits, finding breakthroughs difficult. But once you become a True God, you will experience another period of massive power leap."

"So, do not stake everything right now."

"When you become a True God, that will be your strongest moment," Zuo Shanke reminded him.

Luo Feng was inwardly shocked. Listening to his teacher, it seemed he believed Luo Feng couldn't yet eliminate that group of World Beasts.

"Go then."

"Remember, be cautious."

"This is the most perilous war within the Sea of Universe," Zuo Shanke entrusted him.

"Yes."

Luo Feng rose, bowed slightly, and then departed.

...

Moments later, in the Ancestral God Secret Realm, inside the Ancestral God Palace.

Luo Feng, clad in a white robe, strolled in. The guards at the palace entrance did not stop him; they naturally recognized Luo Feng. The three Ancestral Gods had long ordered that 'Galaxy Lord' could enter at any time.

"Sirs."

Luo Feng entered the main hall. His gaze swept across the three thrones where the three Ancestral Gods sat.

Billions of eons had passed, and these three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect had already become True Gods! After all, their selection as Ancestral Gods implied exceptionally high aptitude, coupled with the favoritism of the origin will... With the mass birth of True Gods across the Original Universe now, it would be a joke if the three Ancestral Gods weren't True Gods themselves.

"I believe the origin will already knows of my request," Luo Feng spoke.

The Dual-Faced Ancestral God sighed, "You insist on making that demand? Although we do not know the detailed information of your request, it is evident the origin will is already somewhat displeased. Do you still insist?"

"Yes," Luo Feng nodded.

Displeased?

The origin will's displeasure had nothing to do with him. The origin will had oppressed the Primal Ancestor, making all of humanity dissatisfied! Just as Zuo Shanke said... there was no need to fear the origin will; it had to abide by the rules, and it still relied on Luo Feng and others to deal with the World Beasts.

In fact, letting one's consciousness enter the origin of the Original Universe was akin to becoming the Original Universe itself, then destroying it, and then birthing it anew...

It sounded profoundly mysterious, but Luo Feng was not one to simply believe whatever Zuo Shanke said. To send a will into the origin source required at least creating a 'Divine Power Clone' to enter. If the Original Universe were destroyed, killing Luo Feng simultaneously, they could simply attack the Divine Power Clone and soul-destroy Luo Feng!

Therefore, this request was inherently dangerous.

The reason Luo Feng agreed was because... of the third ultimate technique of the Duandong River lineage, the River of Immortality. Once he became a True God, he was certain to master the River of Immortality, leaving behind blood essence as a contingency. Even if he truly faced the 'Black Hand of the Original Universe,' he could still resurrect.

After all, experiencing the destruction and rebirth of the Original Universe would only happen when an entire cycle ended and the universe was about to perish and be born again.

It wouldn't be destroyed prematurely just because of Luo Feng.

Furthermore, Luo Feng himself hadn't become a True God, so he wouldn't wish for the Original Universe to be destroyed yet.

"Since you insist," the Aged Ancestral God looked at Luo Feng below the hall. "Although the demand is extremely harsh, as long as Galaxy Lord truly kills all the World Beasts and prevents harm to the Original Universe, the origin will agreed not only to release the Primal Ancestor but also to your demand. Of course, that demand can only be realized when this cycle ends."

"Everything the origin will has promised is bound by the laws of operation and will certainly not involve deceit," the Aged Ancestral God stated.

That voice propagated, subtly carrying an ancient fluctuation that permeated the entire hall, naturally reaching Luo Feng.

"I believe it," Luo Feng nodded.

Choosing a vanguard from the three great cycles of the Sea of Universe to venture into the World Beast Lair was extremely dangerous, so naturally, there was endless haggling. Why must it be me? Why can't he go? I am the hope of my lineage; if I perish, my entire race is finished.

Internal debates, compromises of interest, and so forth would likely consume several years, perhaps longer, before a final selection was made.

This was also within Luo Feng's expectations, and compared to trillions of eons, a few years was quite brief; there was no rush.

...

While discussions and final selections were ongoing within the Sea of Universe, the World Beast 'Molosa' had already quietly exited the Summit Collapse Boundary.

"Wow!"

"This is Chaos Qi Flow!"

"In the Lair, the Chaos Qi Flow isn't this abundant, it's everywhere." A tall, majestic giant, entirely golden with a single tail, stood within the currents of Chaos Qi Flow. His entire body was covered in an ancient armor, his physique lines perfect. His two blood-red eyes flickered with fierce light.

The World Beast surveyed its surroundings. Its current form was common among the races of the Sea of Universe and possessed the aura of divine power. At a glance, one might mistake him for a powerhouse from some race in the Sea of Universe.

"Hiss!"

The World Beast opened its mouth and sucked violently. Immediately, massive amounts of Chaos Qi Flow surged madly into its mouth. For a time, the area around it seemed to turn into a black hole, continuously drawing in the flow. It swallowed for a full day before finally stopping.

"Truly comfortable. Although it doesn't match the pure ecstasy of devouring other beings, at least I can absorb it anytime," the World Beast Molosa was extremely satisfied. While the Summit Collapse Boundary also contained Chaos Qi Flow, it was so thin it was almost negligible. "But enhancing strength just by absorbing this Chaos Qi Flow is too slow."

Whoosh!

Molosa took a single step, instantly initiating ultra-long-distance teleportation, beginning to wander the Sea of Universe. With the Sea of Universe maps provided by Zhen Jia King and Qiu Yan Ancestral God, it naturally did not fear getting lost. Moreover, every World Beast possessed an incredibly strong mutual sense; even if lost, they could locate the others.

...

Wandering freely in the Sea of Universe, half a month later.

The golden, majestic World Beast Molosa, with its tail sweeping, stood suspended in the void, gazing afar at the massive small universe ahead. The diameter of the entire small universe reached one hundred million light-years—how vast!

"Ooh, ooh..."

"Too, too, too delicious!" The blood-red eyes of the World Beast Molosa were filled with fervent madness as it stared intently at the small universe in the distance. Its tail whipped furiously, clearly in a state of extreme excitement.

"I can sense the origin of this small universe! What a delicacy! Merely sensing it makes me tremble..." Molosa was incredibly agitated. It had previously devoured other World Beasts, which could be described as the ultimate pleasure. But now, simply sensing the 'delicious aura' emanating from the origin of this small universe made it lose self-control.

This was an exquisite enjoyment, undoubtedly comparable to devouring other World Beasts.

"Devour."

"Devour."

The World Beast Molosa howled internally, but its intelligence suppressed everything.

"So small universes are this delicious. According to those two servants, there are many small universes in the Sea of Universe, as well as Sacred Land Universes, and the Original Universe. My current strength is still very weak! The origin of a small universe offers the weakest resistance; I can devour it fastest. To devour a Sacred Land Universe... would likely be much slower. Devouring the Original Universe would probably be the slowest. But the origin of that Original Universe is the most endless."

"This small universe before me, hmm, according to the map of the Sea of Universe, belongs to a rather mediocre True God from the First Cycle."

"The most threatening one is the Galaxy Lord."

"As for this True God? Quite ordinary. I shall make him my first delicacy."

Molosa considered for a moment, deciding that the owner of the small universe before it was likely a soft target, and thus resolved... to begin the consumption.
