Chaos City, the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, the courtyard of Chaos Ruins.
"Chen Yuan has arrived."
The moment Chen Yuan appeared, the Chaos City Lord, who controlled the entire primordial universe, sensed his presence.
He immediately relayed the message to several other high-ranking officials, and simultaneously transmitted it to Chen Yuan via telepathy:
"Chen Yuan, come straight to Chaos Ruins. We'll all be waiting for you here."
Chen Yuan appeared in his previous secluded residence. After hearing the Chaos City Lord's telepathic message, he nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
Then, he pushed open the door of his residence and flew towards the city lord's mansion.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng, who was cultivating on a rooftop, suddenly noticed a figure in the sky and exclaimed, "Chen Yuan? He's returned from beyond the realm?"
Initially, Luo Feng received news that Chen Yuan had returned to Chaos City to cultivate.
Therefore, after completing the highest-score mission at the Domain Lord level and entering Chaos City for cultivation, he specifically sought out Chen Yuan's address, wanting to visit his fellow townsman and catch up.
Unfortunately, Chen Yuan had already gone to the Beast God Realm to cultivate with the Mountain-Sitting Guest. Except for the occasional return of his Soul-Devouring Domain Beast clone to comprehend the Chaos Stele, he was mostly not in Chaos City, so Luo Feng missed him.
At that time, Luo Feng thought that Chen Yuan was entering a deep seclusion and refused all disturbances, so he didn't think much of it. It wasn't until he came several times later and found that Chen Yuan's residence was always closed that he realized something was wrong.
Furthermore, since it was impossible to log into the virtual universe from the Beast God Realm, Chen Yuan seemed to have disappeared in Luo Feng's eyes, which made him worry for a while.
Luo Feng was only relieved after he became the disciple of the Chaos City Lord and learned about Chen Yuan's whereabouts from him.
Therefore, upon seeing Chen Yuan, Luo Feng naturally understood that the other party had already emerged from that "mysterious region," and thus greeted him telepathically: "Chen Yuan."
"It's Luo Feng."
Chen Yuan paused, looked down and saw Luo Feng's figure, then smiled and replied, "I have some urgent business to attend to right now. Let's catch up after I'm done."
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy." Luo Feng nodded. With their eyesight, this distance was practically face-to-face. "I'll cultivate here. Just come find me here when you're done."
"No problem." Chen Yuan gave an OK sign, nodded slightly, and continued flying towards the City Lord's Mansion.
"Is Chen Yuan heading towards the City Lord's Mansion?"
Luo Feng immediately recognized Chen Yuan's destination and thought to himself, "Going to the City Lord's Mansion? Could it be to study the Chaos Stele?"
"But Chen Yuan's spacetime laws are almost perfected. Teacher Chaos said that in this situation, the Chaos Stele is no longer very useful."
Thinking of this, a guess suddenly surfaced in Luo Feng's mind: "Or is it that Chen Yuan went to the City Lord's Mansion to meet with his teacher, the Chaos City Lord?"
Luo Feng blinked, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"Never mind, Chen Yuan is in Chaos City anyway, I can just ask him next time we meet."
"If I can tell you, Chen Yuan will tell me; if I can't, that's okay too."
"As for now, it is more important to continue to comprehend the Seven Transformations of Divine Evolution."
With this in mind, Luo Feng quickly calmed himself down and returned to his cultivation.
On the other side, after bidding farewell to Luo Feng, Chen Yuan quickly entered the City Lord's Mansion area and arrived at the inner gate.
The Lord's Mansion of Chaos City is divided into two areas, an inner and an outer one. The outer mansion is open to the public at all times, with its gates never closed, allowing people to come and go as they please.
The inner palace was strictly managed, with a large number of immortal guards watching over it and a large number of people patrolling inside.
Normally, unless granted permission by the Lord of Chaos City, even a Universe Venerable would not be qualified to enter the inner palace.
Of course, Chen Yuan was allowed to enter. Moreover, the Lord of Chaos City arranged for his personal disciple, "Venerable Guiyi," to greet him there.
Upon seeing Chen Yuan, Venerable Guiyi immediately approached him, saying warmly, "Chen Yuan, right? I am Venerable Guiyi. The city lord arranged for me to meet you here."
These words immediately attracted the attention of the nearby immortal guards, who all looked at Chen Yuan with surprise.
"Greetings, Venerable Guiyi." Chen Yuan smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. "Venerable Guiyi is too kind. I am truly ashamed that it is my first time visiting the Inner Palace and I need the Venerable Guiyi to come and greet me."
"These are nothing," Venerable Guiyi said with a warm smile. "Please come in with me; the city lord is waiting for you inside."
"Thank you for your help." Chen Yuan nodded, then followed Venerable Guiyi into the inner palace.
After the two went inside, the immortal guards standing in front of the mansion gate began to discuss among themselves.
"Who is this person? What a big face! To be personally greeted by Venerable Guiyi."
"Judging from his aura, he should be a powerful immortal. Could he be an invincible king? But even if he is an invincible king, he shouldn't be able to make Venerable Guiyi so enthusiastic."
"I've seen all the famous immortals, but I've never seen this person before. Is he truly invincible as a king?"
"Whether it is or not, their identity is definitely not ordinary."
"Through connections?"
These guards thought that Chen Yuan was only an immortal and shouldn't be able to hear their whispers, so they dared to chat. Little did they know that with Chen Yuan's strength, he could hear everything they said.
However, he paid no attention to the guards' gossip, but when he heard their speculations about his identity, he couldn't help but smirk.
Venerable Guiyi, who was standing to the side, could also hear these voice transmissions clearly. In fact, he didn't know much about Chen Yuan's identity either.
The reason he was so enthusiastic was because the Chaos City Lord had instructed him, "When facing Chen Yuan, be more courteous."
Don't underestimate him just because he's only an immortal; at the very least, treat him as someone of equal strength to you.
It was because of this sentence that Venerable Guiyi corrected his attitude and treated Chen Yuan as a cosmic overlord.
Therefore, he was not surprised that Chen Yuan could hear these telepathic messages. After noticing the change in the other party's expression, he immediately coughed lightly.
In an instant, the voices outside the door disappeared, and the silence was as if time had frozen.
"I'm sorry you had to see this," Venerable Guiyi said apologetically. "These people have been staying in the City Lord's Mansion for too long, and their attitude has become a bit lax. I'll teach them a lesson later."
"It's not that bad," Chen Yuan smiled. "They've never seen me before, so it's normal for them to be curious. There's no need to be too harsh on them."
"We still need to teach them a lesson and make them understand the principle that loose lips sink ships, after all, these guards also represent the face of the city lord's mansion."
Venerable Guiyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. At most, I'll just give him a simple punishment."
Seeing that the other party said this, Chen Yuan could only shake his head slightly and wish them good luck.
Neither of them spoke aloud; they spoke directly, and although their voices were not loud, they were loud enough for the guards outside to hear clearly.
Immediately, the guard who had just transmitted the message outside trembled in fright. Seeing his companion's pleading look out of the corner of his eye, he was even more terrified.
However, this was none of Chen Yuan's business. After following Venerable Guiyi for a while, the two stopped in front of a quiet courtyard. The words "Chaos Ruins" were engraved on a stone tablet outside the courtyard.
"This is it," Venerable Guiyi said. "Your teacher is waiting for you inside. Please go in."
"I can only take you this far without the teacher's permission."
"Thank you for leading the way, Venerable One." Chen Yuan nodded and then stepped into the courtyard.
With a shift in time and space, he arrived in a desolate world strewn with corpses, resembling an ancient battlefield.
Not far in sight, Chen Yuan saw four familiar figures, the same four people who had spoken in the Dark Teacher's palace a month ago: the Giant Axe Founder, the Chaos City Lord, the Dark Lord, and the Lord of Youhou.
Upon seeing the four high-ranking human figures, Chen Yuan quickly flew over and bowed slightly to them, saying, "Chen Yuan greets the founder of the Giant Axe, the city lord, and..."
Senior brother.
After saying this, he bowed to the Lord of Darkness separately: "Greetings, Master."
"Good disciple." The Lord of Darkness chuckled and helped his disciple up. "Get up quickly."
"Chen Yuan," the founder of the giant axe said with a smile, "This is the first time we've met in real life. I've been looking forward to this scene for a long time. I've wanted to see what kind of genius can analyze the King Armor and the King Soul."
"Before I even got to see you, in less than a month, I heard more news."
After saying this, Giant Axe glanced at the smiling Chaos City Lord beside him, shook his head and sighed, "I really didn't expect that you would make such a great contribution to the clan this time."
Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and couldn't help but ask, "Clan contribution? What is that?"
"Haha." Giant Axe laughed heartily, patting him on the shoulder. "Have you forgotten about the Primordial Secret Records?"
"Because of your secret technique, nearly three hundred of our clans have been promoted from Kings to Universe Venerables, and one Venerable has even been promoted to Lord of the Universe."
To be honest, Chen Yuan contributed the Primordial Secret Records six hundred years ago. He had thought that someone might be promoted because of it, but he thought it would take at least several thousand years.
Only six hundred years have passed, and he hasn't even finished correcting the errors in his own laws. Naturally, he didn't expect that this secret technique had already had a significant impact on his clan.
Therefore, Chen Yuan was also taken aback when he heard this: "Someone has actually advanced to the level of a Universe Lord?"
It's not surprising that some people can be promoted to Universe Venerable. Chen Yuan was only surprised by the speed at which these Kings broke through, but he was still clear about whether they could be promoted to Universe Venerable.
Could he possibly ascend to become the master of the universe? This was truly beyond his expectations.
It's important to understand that breaking through to the level of a Universe Lord is far more difficult than breaking through to the level of a Universe Venerable.
Throughout countless eras of human history, the number of Venerables has been at least several thousand, while the number of Lords of the Universe has been only eighteen, demonstrating the extreme difficulty of advancement.
But now, thanks to the secret technique "The Primordial Secret Records", the human race has given birth to its nineteenth Universe Lord, a piece of news that even Chen Yuan, the creator of this secret technique, did not expect.
Seeing Chen Yuan's shocked expression, the Lord of Darkness suddenly laughed and said, "Chen Yuan, why don't you try to guess who this new Universe Lord is?"
"Just so you know, you know this person."
"Someone I know?" Chen Yuan's thoughts raced, and he suddenly noticed the smiles on the faces of Dark Teacher and Senior Brother Youhou. A thought struck him.
He spoke up, "This new Universe Lord of Xinpu, could it be Senior Sister Yinlan?"
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the Lord of Darkness looked somewhat surprised. "You actually guessed it, disciple. How did you figure it out?"
The other universe lords were also curious. Could someone really guess based on just one condition? So they all looked at Chen Yuan, waiting for his answer.
"Actually, the reason is quite simple." Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "According to the plan we discussed before, the Primordial Secret Records will definitely be promoted within the company first, which means that this promoted Cosmic Venerable must come from the Virtual Universe Company."
Everyone nodded; the reason wasn't hard to guess. What they were curious about was what came next.
"Then, the teacher said that this new Universal Lord is someone I know."
Chen Yuan smiled and continued, "However, I don't know any other Venerables within the company. The only Venerables I know are a few senior brothers and sisters under my teacher's tutelage."
"With the teacher and Senior Brother Youhou's undisguised smiles, I naturally focused my attention on my senior brothers and sisters."
"Because the effect of the Primordial Secret Record is to correct errors in the laws, only those who have stayed in the initial universe for a long time will be affected."
Chen Yuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Among these people, Senior Brother Youhou is already the Lord of the Universe, while Senior Brother Tianshi and Senior Brother Rongshan, one suppressing the Blood Luo World and the other guarding the Universe Kingdom, both need to reside in the Primal Universe, so the laws naturally have no effect on them."
"After much thought, I believe only Senior Sister Yinlan meets the requirements. After all, the first time I saw Senior Sister in reality was in this Chaos City."
"So that's how it is." The Lord of Darkness shook his head and said helplessly, "I knew I shouldn't have reminded you. I actually forgot that you haven't been cultivating for long enough to have had time to get to know those cosmic venerables."
"So, Senior Sister Yinlan really advanced?" Chen Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." The Lord of Darkness laughed. "Yinlan herself didn't expect to advance. She said she originally just wanted to come and join in the fun, to experience the atmosphere of everyone's breakthrough."
"As a result, so many Venerables failed to break through, but she somehow seized the opportunity and broke through smoothly all the way, becoming the Lord of the Universe on the spot."
"Congratulations, Senior Sister!" Chen Yuan smiled. "You've helped me a lot on my cultivation path. I'll have to repay you properly next time we meet."
"Since Senior Sister has just been promoted to the Lord of the Universe and doesn't have a suitable treasure yet, I'll give her a top-tier treasure."
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances.
As expected of a master craftsman capable of forging supreme treasures, he is incredibly generous in his actions, giving away supreme treasures that are hard to come by for the entire clan without hesitation.
Lord Youhou looked on with envy, marveling at how lucky Junior Sister Yinlan was to have such a generous junior brother.
He could obtain a supreme treasure right after becoming a universe master. How could he have had that opportunity back then?
Giant Axe laughed and said, "Great! With a treasure-refining master like you taking action, Lord Silverstorm will surely be able to increase his strength in the shortest amount of time."
"By the way, speaking of this," Giant Axe paused, then continued, "after the Silver Mist Lord's advancement, the value of the Primordial Secret Records is beyond doubt."
"I will convene the highest meeting as soon as possible and promote the Primordial Secret Records within the clan."
"As for your reward, Chen Yuan," the giant axe glanced at the Chaos City Lord and the Dark Lord, "after our discussion, we have decided to set the contribution of the Primordial Secret Record at 6000 Treasure Points."
"Chen Yuan, what do you think?"
