Transcript

00:00Eighteen hundred years crept by, and the membrane of the world of jinn kept shifting between shades

00:05of blue. Then one day it turned white. The true treasure palaces drifting outside began to move.

00:12It's white. We can go in. More than two hundred great beings surged toward it,

00:17and the first of them jabbed at the membrane with their weapons to test it.

00:21It still carried great power, but the godly bodies of universe masters slipped through it easily.

00:27Once that was certain, the first true treasure palace flew in, and the rest followed,

00:34Luo Feng's boat of mausoleum among them. From the outside the world of jinn looked ten million

00:39light-years wide, and the great beings entered from scattered directions so they would not crowd

00:45together. The silver boat broke through the membrane and rushed inside. At once Luo Feng's godly power

00:51felt something strange and wonderful around him, so pleasant that his whole soul felt,

00:56like a fish returned to water after crossing a desert. The sensation held him spellbound,

01:02and for a moment he forgot to be careful. It feels wonderful, he said, surprised and delighted.

01:08Nothing holds me back at all. Rampaging devil god felt the same joy and louder.

01:13Ha ha ha! The world of jinn is magnificent. Nothing restrains me, and I can use every drop of my

01:19godly

01:19power. He drove his palace true treasure downward and landed on an ancient, endless land ringed by towering

01:26mountains. Energy filled sky and earth, and compared with the chaos air of universe ocean,

01:32it was soothing. This is where great beings ought to live, he roared. A streak of light answered him,

01:39a thousand times faster than light, and a beast stood before him with three heads, one golden and

01:45two silver, every mouth full of huge fangs, and three tails like barbed metal whips. It glared down at

01:51him. Get out! This is my land! Rampaging devil god felt its force and knew it was a universe supreme

01:58master. The ancestral gods had said creatures lived here, but he had not expected the very first one

02:05to be of that rank. Get out! The beast roared again in warning. Then rampaging devil god realized

02:11something worse. He could understand the beast perfectly. The language was so strange that even a

02:17stranger to it caught the meaning at once, but he had no idea how to speak it. He opened his

02:22mouth and

02:22nothing came out but fragments. I-ah, you. You, I- the beast was furious. It had held back because

02:29it

02:29sensed an equal, yet this golden glowing intruder seemed to ignore it, as if mocking it. It blurred

02:37into light, and its three tails drew three curved arcs across the sky that swept down at him. He scrambled

02:43aside, and three giant gullies tore open in the ground. Anxious, rampaging devil god tried to send

02:50his voice through godly power, as he normally could. But the faint, blurry thread of power was crushed the

02:56moment it left him. A soul attack? The beast snarled, angrier still. I won't fight you, he said

03:04helplessly, in a tongue it could not hear. The beast charged. More than two hundred great beings from

03:10universe ocean poured into the world of jinn, delighted by its wonders. Few had rampaging

03:16devil god's luck. Meeting a true god the instant they arrived, the silver boat settled on a vast

03:22plain and vanished, and Luo Feng appeared in silver armor. He wore only crazy demon extermination godly

03:29armor, with a pinnacle soul true treasure guarding his soul, and he carried blood shadow blade.

03:35Of all that, only the blade was remarkable. This was his first visit, and he had left his strongest

03:42valuables behind. What a beautiful world, he drew a deep breath, and fresh power flooded him and

03:49turned into godly power at once. In the original universe, he could do that only through the law

03:54ocean. Here it happened effortlessly. The space around him did not ripple even when his godly power

04:01trembled. It was steady beyond anything he had imagined, as though the world itself refused to

04:07be shaken. Beautiful, stable, majestic, he thought. A perfect world, and perhaps the keeper of universe

04:13ocean's ultimate secret. Then a great being flew toward him over the ground, quick enough to land in

04:19front of him at once. It was a child with two black braids, clutching a huge piece of meat.

04:24Great. Outsider, the child said. This is the land of the dry wilderness tribe. Why are you here?

04:30Are you one of the travelers our elders talk about? Luofeng was startled by the language more than the

04:35child. The little being was ordinary, only an emperor undying. But he spoke the tongue written

04:42in the memory stones of Duandong River, the common tongue of the ancient civilization. Having received

04:48that inheritance, Luofeng had learned it easily. That's right, he answered in the same tongue.

04:54I'm a traveler. Wow, I want to travel too. But first I must become a law knight. Envy shone in

05:01the child's eyes. In the virtual universe, Luofeng and primal chaos city leader stood atop Thunder

05:08Island. I've entered, teacher, and it is extraordinary far beyond what we imagined. They speak the ancient

05:14civilization's common tongue. I know it, and I'll leave the language here in the virtual universe.

05:20Primal chaos city leader was startled. Then the world of Jin may be something the ancient

05:24civilization left behind. No wonder it holds secrets about transcending reincarnation.

05:30The language matters most. It is the key to joining the natives. Back in the world of Jin,

05:36Luofeng followed the child toward the dry wilderness tribe, blade in hand. From their talk he gathered

05:42that many beings began to wander once they became law universe. Knights. Law knights must be universe

05:50knights, he thought. Law masters must be universe masters. That's our tribe, the child said eagerly.

05:57Far ahead, two beings a hundred thousand kilometers tall fought like gods. One with a blade, one with a

06:04spear, until one was blasted away and slammed into a mountainside. A universe master, Luofeng thought,

06:10thrilled. Both had perfect life gene levels. Reaching out carefully with his senses, he found many more

06:17fighters in the distance, all of them universe masters. My tribe's warriors are training, said the

06:22child. We are a billion strong and they're all great warriors. They became law masters after countless

06:29battles. A billion, Luofeng thought. So becoming a universe master here is hard too. He kept gathering what

06:35he could from the child, since he knew nothing of the place. They flew closer and then Luofeng froze.

06:41Three towering beings stood in the sky in black armor, bearing hammers and axes, their force filling

06:47the air. True gods, he whispered. Three true gods. Three true gods. So soon after he arrived. What did

06:54that say about the rest of the world of Jin? It was a mighty world. Yet the ancestral gods had

07:00said its

07:01creatures would die the moment they entered. Universe ocean. Great power. Held under heavy restraint,

07:07like a blade sheathed by something unseen. A huge secret surely lay hidden here, and Luofeng grew more

07:13cautious. By the time Luofeng decided to leave the dry wilderness tribe, he had uncovered a truth that

07:20made every battle and conversation worthwhile. The world of Jin was filled with beings who had

07:26surpassed the limits that governed. The universe ocean. And the greatest opportunities were not

07:31waiting among the tribes. They were waiting in the military. Luofeng had spent several days pretending

07:37to be an ordinary traveler, moving from one fight to another while quietly gathering information.

07:43The strategy worked because travelers like him were nothing unusual. The mighty dry wilderness tribe

07:49contained a billion members, and its people had grown, accustomed to outsiders arriving to

07:54sharpen their abilities. The elders saw little reason to personally welcome another wandering warrior,

08:00but hundreds of families around the child's household treated Luofeng warmly. Many fighters

08:06also came to challenge him. Their enthusiasm left him shaking his head. For these people,

08:11fighting seemed less like a dangerous necessity and more like a favorite pastime. One outsider,

08:16however, had taken that custom to an entirely different level. While Luofeng was learning about the tribe

08:22through friendly contests, Rampaging Devil God was deliberately making an enemy furious enough to

08:28teach him a new language. High on a towering mountain, he traded blows with a strange gigantic

08:33beast. The creature roared that its opponent had angered it, but Rampaging Devil God only became more

08:39provocative. He had finally learned how to pronounce the word for anger. That was the real purpose behind

08:45his behavior. When he first entered the world of Djinn, the language spoken by its inhabitants had been

08:51completely unfamiliar. Nobody in the universe ocean had ever used the ancient civilization's common

08:57tongue around him, leaving him unable to understand a single word. Yet great beings possessed exceptional

09:03memories, and Rampaging Devil God quickly found a way around the problem. Listen carefully. Remember the

09:10sounds, then connect them to what was happening. The beast's angry shouts gave him precisely the clues

09:15he needed. By watching its reactions and studying its pronunciation, he could infer the meaning of

09:21individual words without a teacher or dictionary. Instead of trying to calm his opponent, he kept

09:26provoking it, turning every furious response into another lesson. Half an hour later, he had learned

09:32the pronunciation of more than three hundred words. His opponent, unfortunately, had no idea it was

09:39helping him. The gigantic beast was becoming increasingly frustrated. Rampaging Devil God's armor

09:44protected him from attacks that would otherwise have been troublesome, while the beast itself possessed

09:50no precious armor of its own. It had claimed the region it occupied, but that did not mean it had

09:56acquired the equipment necessary to match this troublesome outsider. Rampaging Devil God understood the

10:02advantage perfectly. He repeated the word he had just learned, taunting the beast until it

10:08finally stopped and shouted another insult. The Devil God's excitement grew. He had learned yet

10:14another word. He was not foolish enough to ignore the danger of this new world. He had encountered a

10:20true God almost immediately after entering it. A clear warning that the native creatures were far more

10:27powerful than he had anticipated. Learning their language was essential, and fighting one of them gave him a

10:33chance to accomplish both objectives at once. His solution was simple. Keep the creature angry

10:39enough to talk. The beast finally abandoned the idea of defeating him alone. It raised its head and called

10:45for reinforcements, sending the message through godly power. The response was frighteningly fast. In the world

10:52of Djinn, beings could move at speeds of up to ten thousand, times the speed of light in the original

10:58universe.

10:58Within seconds, strange, ferocious creatures emerged from different parts of the mountain.

11:04Twelve appeared in the sky. Every one of them was a true god. Rampaging Devil God looked around and

11:10immediately understood what his language lesson had cost him. His original opponent was no longer alone.

11:16The thirteen beasts began spreading out, surrounding him from different directions while shouting for

11:21him to be captured. His armor had attracted their attention, and they intended to kill or seize him and

11:27divide his possessions. The Devil God attempted to retreat, but the circle was closing. His vocabulary

11:33had grown considerably. His immediate situation had become considerably worse. Meanwhile, Luo Feng's

11:39stay in the dry wilderness tribe was producing the kind of discoveries he had come for. Three days into

11:45his visit, he had already fought numerous local warriors and gained their respect. One contest ended with a

11:52single golden-lit kick to his opponent's chest. The giant man was sent rolling into a distant hill,

11:58sending rocks tumbling down its slope. Yet when he recovered, he did not complain about the defeat.

12:03Instead, he praised Luo Feng for a blow he had been unable to resist. He had battled many travelers,

12:09but none had demonstrated such overwhelming strength. Hundreds of children watching the match rushed over.

12:14Their leader, Zhen Mo Yi, was particularly excited. He believed Uncle Milky Way must have traveled through

12:21many tribes to become so powerful. Luo Feng laughed and continued spending time with the child.

12:27The admiration was pleasant, but the information he gained was far more valuable.

12:31The world of Jin was enormous. Luo Feng could not establish its exact size. Yet his conversation

12:38suggested a diameter of at least one trillion light-years. From outside, it appeared to be a miniature universe.

12:44But its interior was vastly larger than the Holy Lands. Only the original universe surpassed it. Its

12:50inhabitants were equally extraordinary. Countless tribes struggled over territory,

12:55and their warriors were shaped by constant fighting. Every creature born in the world of Jin would

13:01become undying upon reaching maturity. They absorbed the world's energy from birth and gradually mastered

13:07laws as they grew. Training could then elevate them to the level of Law Knights, equivalent to Universe Knights.

13:14However, becoming a Law Master, equivalent to a Universe Master, was much more difficult.

13:20Normally, only one in a hundred ordinary warriors who reached the Law Knight, level could advance

13:26further. True treasures were rare, and treasures more powerful than those were rarer still. Yet the

13:32most important revelation concerned the tribe's leader. Dry Wilderness, the greatest being of the tribe,

13:38had surpassed the true god level. His power helped maintain the tribe's stable position,

13:44and his people regarded him as their greatest pride. Luo Feng was thrilled. To surpass true gods was to

13:50transcend incarnations, the very breakthrough he had been seeking. The fact that such a being existed,

13:56within a single tribe, suggested that the world of Jin might contain many others. Perhaps the powers of the

14:03Universe Ocean had been right to enter this world in search of a chance to transcend incarnations after

14:09all. But the tribe's leader was only one piece of a much larger puzzle. The inhabitants spoke of a

14:15common ruler over the entire world of Jin, the majesty of godly king. Luo Feng learned that the world served

14:23as a place to cultivate powerful beings for this ruler. The greatest warriors could be summoned beyond the

14:28world of the world of Jin to fight on his behalf. For the native creatures, earning that summons was a

14:34lifelong ambition. There was, however, a troubling detail. The majesty of godly king had not summoned the

14:40world's strongest beings for a very long time. Luo Feng could not help connecting. That silence to the

14:47enormous, humanoid body now drifting through the Universe Ocean. The body was so powerful that it had

14:53collided with Universe boat and survived, while its shock waves and internal breath, possessed enough

14:59destructive, forced to threaten supreme true treasures. Could the colossal figure be the majesty of godly

15:05king himself? Luo Feng had no confirmation, but the possibility was compelling. If the ruler had died,

15:12it might explain why the inhabitants had not received a summons for so long. It might also explain why the

15:18world of Jin was now trapped inside that gigantic body. The inheritance of Duandong River gave Luo Feng

15:25another point of comparison. The ancient civilization had contained many powers, including Wu, whose

15:31supreme leader was known as majesty. Duandong River had been bestowed with the name Wu an extraordinary

15:37honor. In the military of Jin, only the most talented and courageous elites could receive the name Jin.

15:44Luo Feng suspected that Wu and Jin were separate factions within the ancient civilization. Duandong

15:51River had belonged to Wu, while the world of Jin belonged to Jin. The evidence of the ancient civilization's

15:57greatness lay scattered throughout the Universe Ocean, Universe Boat. Duandong River's inheritance, the black-striped

16:06stone pillar, boat of mausoleum and Shi Wu wings, each represented a remnant of a power that had once

16:13reached astonishing heights. Yet that civilization had ultimately fallen. The inhabitants of the world

16:19of Jin were fortunate to have survived, but their survival came with a terrible restriction. They

16:25could not leave their world. Anyone who crossed its boundary would die instantly. For Luofeng, this made the

16:31military even more important. The world of Jin had been designed to cultivate great beings, and its military

16:38was the central institution of that process. It gathered the overwhelming majority of the world's

16:43powerful warriors, including beings stronger than true gods. Its stores of armor and inheritances were

16:50immense. Equipment considered a supreme true treasure. In the Universe Ocean was merely standard. Attire for

16:57true gods here. The military also held knowledge that ordinary tribes could not offer. Warriors who reached the

17:04lawmaster. Level would be taken into service and required to fight for a long period, before they

17:09could retire. Those who tried to evade their duties risked being hunted throughout the world, and enlistment

17:15was merciless. Fewer than five out of every hundred who entered survived the elimination process. Luofeng

17:22understood the danger, but he also understood what he would lose by refusing to go. Nearly all the world

17:28of Jin's great beings gathered in the military, and its core secrets were shared there. With the

17:34inheritance of Duandong River, he believed he had a chance to distinguish himself. Staying among the

17:40tribes would only delay his progress. On the sixth day of his visit, Luofeng finally told Northern

17:46Wind that he was leaving. His friend initially thought he planned to continue traveling, but Luofeng revealed

17:52his real destination, the king's military. Northern Wind's eyes brightened. He was one of the tribe's

17:59most gifted warriors, and many believed he could eventually become a true god. Among the Universe

18:05Masters, Luofeng had fought during his stay. Northern Wind had been the strongest. Luofeng could

18:11still suppress him, but their battles had earned them mutual respect. Northern Wind did not want to let

18:16the opportunity pass. A group of warriors from the tribe would soon be heading to the military,

18:22and he intended to join them. He proposed that they travel together. Luofeng agreed without hesitation.

18:29His time in the dry wilderness. Tribe had given him a clearer understanding of the world,

18:34its power structure, and the ancient civilization behind it. More importantly, it had shown him that

18:40the path he sought might genuinely exist. Now he would leave the relative familiarity of the tribes,

18:46and enter the place where the world of Jin gathered its strongest warriors. The military was dangerous,

18:52its selection process deadly, and its secrets still unknown. But for Luofeng the risk was worth taking.

18:59He and Northern Wind would join together. Luofeng had agreed to leave with Northern Wind,

19:04so he waited in the dry wilderness tribe. But when a warrior of this tribe said,

19:09very soon he meant half a year. Meanwhile, in the virtual universe, universe masters of the human

19:16race were gathering atop Thunder Island to decide how to deal with the fourth most dangerous land,

19:22the world of Jin. They kept arriving, and the mood was eager. Is it true there's a being in the

19:28world

19:29of Jin beyond even a true god? I heard it's full of supreme true treasures.

19:34Luofeng, are there many universe supreme masters over there? Every one of them burned with excitement.

19:40Luofeng was the only human who had gone inside this time, and the others were in no hurry to follow

19:46him. They wanted his report first, and they wanted it before anyone else spoke. Yet Luofeng for once had

19:52little to say, because Primal Chaos City Leader was about to say it for him. Primal Chaos City Leader

19:58appeared and the chatter died. He took the main throne, with Luofeng on one side and Darkness Master

20:04on the other, and let his gaze sweep over the crowd. The world of Jin has been open for some

20:09time.

20:10Besides our Hong Alliance, great beings from many of Universe Ocean's top powers have entered it.

20:16We have gathered a good deal of information, and so have the others. Once we have compared what we know,

20:22we can decide how to treat this place. Today I will lay out a few things first.

20:26The world of Jin, someone murmured. Incomparably powerful. Yet in truth it is only a fragment of

20:34the ancient. Civilization's world, said Primal. Chaos City Leader. That civilization fell long ago.

20:41Powerful as the world of Jin is, its native great beings are kept inside it forever and none can leave

20:46alive. We humans are the true protagonists of this era. Luofeng's eyes brightened.

20:52He had felt the pressure of the place since he made contact with it, but hearing this,

20:57something loosened in his chest. The world of Jin was only a vast cage. Whatever lived inside,

21:03however mighty, could never step out. Their age was over, and the stage now belonged to his generation.

21:10Of course it cannot match the ancient civilization's whole world. Primal Chaos City Leader went on gravely,

21:16but it came from that world. And for those of us who are still young, it is a chance we

21:22cannot miss,

21:23and a challenge we must face. Only Luofeng stands inside it from our race. There, universe supreme

21:29masters are called true gods, and true gods are plentiful. Because they count as supreme masters,

21:34they can claim small territories. Yet the world of Jin holds being stronger than true gods, and anyone who

21:41reaches that level can transcend reincarnation with ease. But fighting fills the world of Jin. Its core

21:47is its army, which serves a majesty of godly, king. That army is built, through savage selection and

21:54elimination. Once a great being enters, his freedom is gone. He must obey military orders and endure cruel,

22:01tests where the risk of annihilation is extremely high. His voice dropped. More than two hundred great

22:09beings from universe ocean's powers have gone in. By what I know alone, over one hundred twenty have

22:15already been annihilated. Cries of shock filled the hall. Over a hundred twenty? So many already?

22:22Luofeng was shaken too. His teacher had never told him this, and he realized how much of the danger he

22:28had walked past without seeing it. It is true, said primal chaos city leader, and nobody doubted him.

22:34The world of Jin has many tribes, ancient ones among them, and special life forms and

22:40beasts hold the wilderness. Walking the open land invites attack. The natives know safe routes,

22:45we do not. That is why more than half of our great beings were annihilated, within half a year of

22:51entering. Not one has been accepted into the army, and more than half are already dead.

22:56The final selection is said to kill over ninety-five in a hundred. The army can give detailed guidance

23:02on surpassing a true god, but with that death rate, there may not be one in all of universe ocean

23:08who ever reaches it. Silence fell. The humans who had been so eager went quiet, and the excited whispers

23:15from a moment ago seemed to belong to another room. If so many died without even reaching the army,

23:20then inside it, universe masters hoping to become true gods would be culled further. And beyond true

23:27god, the army would not share its secrets easily, so elimination would be unimaginably high. Even

23:32Luo Feng kept still. It would be brutal, he admitted. Brutal beyond easy imagining. But beneath the chill,

23:39his confidence did not break. Our race already holds the inheritance of the ancient civilization,

23:45said primal chaos city leader. In the world of Jin, it counts as a high-level inheritance,

23:51so for now we should not take risks. We will watch, and as the world of Jin's secrets surface,

23:56we will learn more. Those who truly insist on going should have multiple bodies.

24:01We must be careful. The fever cooled, one face after another. A real great being was fearless,

24:08but not reckless. And nobody in the hall wanted to be the first to throw away a body for nothing.

24:13Luo Feng agreed with the plan. From what he had learned, the tribes held no inheritance at all.

24:19To become a supreme master, one had to enter the army. That was the iron law of the world of

24:24Jin, only inside the army. Did the deep inheritance exist? And even those who returned with guidance

24:31dared not teach it in their tribes. And entering was too dangerous. The grim fate of the first entrance

24:37splashed cold water over every great power. They had come in full of hope and been jolted awake.

24:43There was a profound inheritance in the army that could let one transcend reincarnation,

24:49but who could survive the selection to claim it? There were many supreme true treasures in the army,

24:54too. The very things the powers had craved. But they were only the standard equipment of true gods.

25:00How many true gods did Universe Ocean have? Not even a hundred. If over ninety percent died in the army,

25:07fewer than ten would remain. Just to win ordinary equipment. The thought chilled them. No rush. We can

25:14only enter once an era, so let's go slowly. So what if the natives are strong? They are trapped forever.

25:20Poor things, still shouting loyalty to their majesty of godly king, who has probably already died. The powers

25:27had seen how weak they were here. So they called themselves the protagonists of their age and the

25:33natives' pitiful creatures in a great cage. They were comforting themselves. Back home they were top

25:39beings, and inside the world of Jin they were only ordinary great beings. Such a fall hurt, and nobody

25:47could be blamed for wanting to soften it, even if the comfort was thin. In the world of Jin, northern

25:53wind

25:53shouted for Luo Feng at last. Let's go, Milky Way. We leave now. Luo Feng said goodbye to the friends

26:00he had made in half a year, laughing with them one last time and hurried to join him. Come back.

26:07Trust me.

26:08Do return. If you don't become a true god, don't bother coming back to me. Tens of thousands had

26:14gathered, friends and eager children who dreamed of the army some day, their faces full of hope and

26:20worry together. To enter it, though, they would first need to be lawmasters.

26:24Hurry up, boomed a true god in a helmet with a pair of horns, one of them broken. A huge

26:30dark

26:31red ship hung above him, ancient and radiating a powerful aura. Luo Feng looked up and recognized

26:36a supreme true treasure. Uncle Northern Rock earned it by a great deed when he served in the army.

26:42Northern wind said excitedly, It will make our road to the base much safer.

26:47When I reach the army, I will ask for a bigger, stronger ship.

26:51Get something better, said Luo Feng. Much better. Yes, much better.

26:55The helmeted true god turned and slapped Northern wind on the shoulder, hard enough to make the young

27:01warrior sway. Well said. You are already better than I was. Wind of our Northern family, you are the

27:08best of us. Don't shame us. Yes, uncle. Luo Feng was startled. One careless pat from a true god,

27:14and he doubted he could have dodged it. Surely this was a true god, who had survived the brutal

27:20selection and earned his reward. The casual pat said more about his strength than any boast could.

27:26By Luo Feng's guess, he was near the ninth tier at best. Let's go, Northern wind said,

27:31and Luo Feng followed him aboard. The warriors poured in one after another, and some howled in

27:37wild fighting spirit. The cabin was plain, with nothing to soften it but vast, holding eight

27:44hundred towering bodies, each ten thousand kilometers tall, and some perhaps a hundred

27:49thousand. None dared move rashly. This time my dry wilderness tribe sends eight hundred warriors to

27:55the east army. Northern rock true god called from the front, and one more brave soul joins us.

28:00Milky Way. Not one of you eight hundred comes close to him. If any of you can get into the

28:05army and

28:06catch up to Milky Way, I'll give you this ship. Every head turned toward Luo Feng with a challenge in

28:12them, and a few with open provocation. He sighed inwardly. He had become a yardstick. He had sparred

28:19with many fighters. But these eight hundred came from every corner of the tribe, and he had not met most

28:25of them. What are you looking at? Northern wind thundered beside him, and the cabin seemed to

28:31shake. Even I am no match for Milky Way, much less you. Or even you? The simple warriors who had

28:37been

28:38bristling stared at Luo Feng differently. Many were stunned, and respect grew in them. The whole world

28:44of jinn honored strength. Listen, you young ones, Northern rock true god said. When I was a lawmaster,

28:51I joined the army with eight hundred tribesmen like you. Twenty-one of us came back alive. Only

28:57three became true gods. I hope you do better than my batch. Oh, silence fell, heavy and complete.

29:05Everyone knew how brutal the army was. But hearing it from a man who had lived through it made it

29:10heavier. Eight hundred had gone, and twenty-one returned. The warriors did the arithmetic in their

29:15heads and said nothing. A true god? Northern wind bellowed. We will not only be true gods.

29:22We will be true gods of the void space. We're true god of the void space! Warriors from other

29:28tribes began howling too, voice after voice rising until the whole cabin rang. It was every warrior's

29:35dream, and the whole dry wilderness tribe had only one such being, their leader. They all longed to be

29:41an invincible true god of the void space. Luo Feng stood quietly with clenched fists,

29:47listening, and the same fire that burned in them stirred in him. A true god of the void space,

29:53he thought. Above a true god stands a true god of the void space. Northern rock. True god smiled

30:01faintly at the surge of fighting spirit in his tribe. Let's go! The ancient battleship swept off like

30:07flowing light and vanished into the sky, carrying eight hundred dreams, and one traveler with a

30:13secret, toward the army. The world of Jyn was vast, and the eight hundred warriors of the dry

30:20wilderness tribe crossed it behind. Northern rock true god, sometimes teleporting, sometimes flying

30:25hard. They met danger along the way, and they startled many warriors who had not traveled the world

30:31of Jyn in a long time. At one point Northern Wind looked down and gasped. Nine smoke marsh! Three

30:38true gods of the void space hold it with their strange beasts, and even warriors of the east army

30:43come to fight there. No wonder. Luo Feng looked down too. A vast marsh lay below, with cloud and

30:50mist rolling upward and strange beasts surfacing in it now and then. The true gods there were countless,

30:56a power ten times the dry wilderness tribe. In the world of Jyn he understood. There were two kinds of

31:03powers, tribes and strange beasts, and all of them bowed to the armies. The armies stood above them,

31:10though they sometimes sent ordinary warriors to fight tribes and beasts as training. Those fights

31:15were only practice, so no true god of the void space ever needed to step in. They flew on. Even

31:22Luo Feng

31:22was amazed at how many powerful beings the world of Jyn held. The dry wilderness tribe had about a

31:28thousand true gods. Nine smoke marsh had ten thousand, and there were countless more tribes

31:34and beasts. How many great beings did the army itself hold? Riding a supreme true treasure ship,

31:40they met no danger on the road, though they witnessed plenty. After about three months,

31:45Northern Rock True God pointed at the distant sky. We're reaching the east army camp. The warriors

31:52followed his gaze. Power seeped through the far sky. And as the ship sped closer,

31:57the endless camp came into view. Luo Feng was thrilled. He knew the military had four armies.

32:03East, south, west, and north. All loyal to His Majesty the Godly King and all rivals of one another.

32:09It's huge! The warriors cried. Soldiers filled the boundless camp shoulder to shoulder. Mostly universe

32:17masters, with strange beasts of every kind among them. Enough today's every warrior. What are those?

32:24So tall! Strange shapes stood over the camp. Each more than a hundred million kilometers high. So tall

32:31that the warriors beside them looked like specks. They resembled giant oval fortresses, tens of thousands

32:37of them. And among them stood others shaped like flying beasts. Machines, said Northern Rock True God,

32:43built by the machine soldiers. Machines a whole group of warriors can use? Machines that can kill

32:49true gods of the void space? The tribe's warriors were wild with excitement, and Luo Feng was too.

32:56He knew of machine-type valuables from the inheritance of Duandong River, yet only as knowledge. He had seen

33:03a few, and these in the distance were all machine valuables. They can, Northern Rock True God confirmed.

33:10That oval one is Jinlo Sky and Land. It takes at least a million true gods to command it fully.

33:16And it carries ten million. Used well, it can kill a group of true gods of the void space.

33:22Luo Feng was stunned. Ten million true gods. By the standards of the ancient civilization,

33:28that was a top-tier machine. It is the best machine the world of Jin has made.

33:33My Northern Rock True God said proudly.

33:35Its materials are simple, yet its power reaches the peak, and it can be mass-produced.

33:41The East Army alone has built many. Warriors of every army must use them, and there are still

33:47plenty to spare. They belong to His Majesty the Godly King and are meant for fighting outside,

33:53but His Majesty has not summoned warriors for a very long time.

33:57Luo Feng nodded. Jinlo Sky and Land was a weapon for outside wars,

34:02so battles within the world of Jin would never use it. See the smaller ones shaped like flying

34:07beasts around it? Those are Jushu, another of the finest machines the world of Jin has made.

34:14Northern Rock True God kept naming them. It needs at least a hundred true gods to drive and holds a

34:20thousand or more. It is fast and nimble, strong in defense, and it has only one fighting technique.

34:26But in a large war it is very useful. Luo Feng nodded again. Not every machine suited a large war.

34:33The ancient civilization had many great beings, and wars between major powers could be terrifying.

34:39So some machines might be destroyed the moment they entered a battlefield. Machines helped the weak,

34:45but mattered far less to ancestral teachers and godly kings. For true gods and true gods of the void

34:51space, though they were a great help. His Majesty the Godly King might already be dead,

34:57Luo Feng thought. Without his summons, the army could only keep building machines on the old order,

35:03preparing and waiting for a call that might never come. All those machines might be wasted. He shook his

35:09head. He did not want any of them. They demanded too many great beings. A million true gods for Jinlo,

35:15sky and land, and even a hundred for Zhu Shu, were beyond what Universe Ocean could offer.

35:21For the ancient civilization is truly extraordinary. He sighed. He was not surprised. Universe Boat had

35:28already hinted at its supreme power, and at full strength it could treat a hundred million true

35:34gods as nothing. But Universe Boat was broken and would stay where it lay. The giant human shape,

35:40perhaps His Majesty the Godly King, might lie there forever too. The inheritors of Duandong River were

35:46all dead, and only he remained. It was cruel. And he could still feel the ancient, civilization's

35:53influence everywhere. In the world of Jin, the East Army camp was huge. A quarter of the tribes and

36:00strange beasts in the world of Jin joined it. And new warriors arrived every day. The process was

36:07grueling. So those coming for assessment waited in a line that seemed to have no end. Their ship came

36:13down on a plain, and two palace true treasures landed in the distance, apparently carrying warriors too.

36:19Out quickly! Out Northern Rock True God shouted. All eight hundred warriors and Luo Feng poured out onto

36:27the plain. Line up over there and wait for the elimination. Don't fail to join the army! He knew the

36:32process well, so everything went smoothly. The eight hundred Luo Feng among them joined the back

36:38of the long line. Gosh, how long will we wait? Northern Wind asked. Luo Feng looked toward the

36:44front. Many creatures waited there, humanoid ones and many strange beasts too. Not only tribes sent

36:51warriors to the army. Around eight hundred thousand, Northern Rock True God said, glancing about.

36:57Half a month before your turn. Don't hurry. Prepare for what is coming. Even the first screening kills two

37:04in three. And only one in three joins the army. Luo Feng was stunned. Two in three died in the

37:10first screening alone. Don't shame the dry wilderness tribe. Northern Rock True God barked,

37:16then flew off to talk with the true gods of other tribes. Ha! Zanshu tribe, your warriors have arrived too.

37:22They look fine. The true gods chatted and he did not leave. He wanted to see how many of his

37:28tribe would

37:29make it in. Time passed. Warriors of every tribe and beasts from every land were screened, and roars

37:36and shouts carried back from the front of the line. The screening was clearly merciless. Luo Feng moved

37:42forward with the line, and after half a month, his turn came with the dry wilderness warriors.

37:47Next round, three thousand! Roared a strange beast with a bloody horn. All of you in! Three thousand

37:54warriors. Luo Feng and the dry wilderness tribe among them were led inside. The screening for the

38:00army was about to begin. Several true gods herded. The three thousand warriors and strange beasts toward

38:07a giant stone arch. As they went, Northern Wind's eyes gleamed, and he sent a private message.

38:13Milky Way, kill as many as you can. Do well enough, and you may be chosen for the Special Troop.

38:19Special Troop? Luo Feng was startled. The East Army has many troops, and ninety-nine in a hundred are

38:25ordinary. Probably none of these three thousand will reach the Special Troop. But you're strong,

38:31so there is hope. And remember, once we're inside, stay close to me. They followed the crowd through the

38:36stone arch. And time and space shifted around them. They stood on a deserted plain of sand.

38:42Where is this? Luo Feng wandered, and the other two thousand nine ninety-nine looked around just as

38:48he did. They could see clearly across a hundred million square kilometers, and farther out it grew

38:54dark. It was a desert. The ancient civilization's mastery of time and space is perfect. Luo Feng thought,

39:01standing beside Northern Wind. Then an invisible force settled over the whole desert, and everyone

39:07looked up. A single-horned man in black armor hung in the sky, his cold golden eyes looking down. And

39:14suddenly two beams of golden light shot from them and struck the sand, drawing circles around fifteen

39:20hundred warriors and beasts each. The group on the left glowed with a blurry red light, and the group on

39:27the

39:27right with a blurry yellow light. A pressure covered everyone, and they shrank under it. It was not a

39:32strong force. Yet its superiority, and the way godly power trembled, before it told them this was no true

39:38god. This was something higher, a true god of the void space, a being who had transcended reincarnation.

39:45You are two teams now, the horned man cried. Kill each other and kill as many as you can. When

39:52I say

39:53stop, whoever still lives joins the army. Show everything you have. If any of you is exceptional,

39:59you may join the special troop. Begin! Then he vanished into the dark. Half of them glowed red

40:05and half glowed yellow, and a savage heat rose in everyone. Northern Wind clenched his teeth in a curse.

40:11Luo Feng glanced around. The dry wilderness warriors had stayed together. Yet nearly a

40:17hundred of them had been caught in the opposing circle. So that was why Northern Wind had told him

40:22to stay close. Then the roar broke out, and warriors and beasts turned into streaks of light. The dry

40:28wilderness fighters knew better than to strike one another and picked. Outside targets. Special troop!

40:34Luo Feng's eyes glinted fiercely. In the world of Jin, he had three goals. The first was to gather its

40:40creatures. True gods' bodies above all. To study how they were built, which could help him reach a life

40:46gene. Level of ninety thousand times sooner and become a true god. The second was to learn the

40:52secrets of universe ocean. The third was to collect. Machine-type valuables. He knew the ancient

40:58civilization well enough to see their worth. For ordinary beings, and even for great beings,

41:04those, machine valuables were extremely useful. Only a supreme being outgrew them. The more ordinary the

41:10user, the more a machine helped. A true god with a precious machine valuable could rival a true god

41:16of the void space. Boat of Mausoleum was only for defense. And Shu Wu Wing was an assistance type,

41:22meant for far higher beings. Luo Feng wanted what suited him. The East Army held countless machine

41:29valuables. Some for millions of true gods at once, and some for a single user. The second kind was his

41:36target. If he won some, humanity would hold a strong, steady place in universe ocean. But he

41:42reasoned further. The original mind knew everything. Yet it had told the ancestral gods to guide the

41:48powers rather than stop them. That suggested the stronger a machine valuable was, the harder it was to

41:55obtain. And on the road he had never seen a true god holding one. So only those of special status

42:01could, not ordinary soldiers. Only the special troop. The army on earth had special forces, and the same

42:07rule must hold here. With so many soldiers, special troops with special valuables were only natural.

42:13Soon broken bodies and blood lay everywhere, and the two teams fought wildly. Luo Feng gripped blood

42:20shadow blade and plunged into the warriors and beasts, cutting down everyone who glowed red.

42:25Time and space were so steady that not one ripple stirred. Even with so many universe masters fighting.

42:32A world full of fighting, he thought. The ancient civilization never ended here. So the great

42:37beings are generally stronger than those of universe. Ocean. The weakest were at top tier level four.

42:44Most at level five or top tier level five. Northern wind, wrapped in gray and wearing a supreme true

42:51treasure armor, was the heart of the dry wilderness group. And each of his attacks reached level six.

42:58Sneak attacks came from every side. They were all universe masters. Hard to kill in one blow.

43:03But at their speed it was no surprise that two thirds were dead within half an hour. The weak had

43:09to be

43:09careful and stall. They only needed to stay alive. The strong did the opposite. Especially the two with

43:15supreme true treasures. Who showed as much power as they could. Hungry for the special troop. They were

43:21northern wind of the yellow team and a strange beast of the red team.

43:25Die! The beast roared and charged northern wind. You die! He shouted back. After only a few exchanges,

43:33a blow struck his head and sent him rolling. He leapt up, teeth clenched. Burning, godly power

43:39technique. My father is master of northern true ocean. This is its power burning technique. The

43:46winged beast only roared and that enraged him more. Luo Feng had just killed a warrior from the other

43:51team. He turned and called. Let me fight him, northern wind! Then he shot forward like lightning.

43:57Good! Northern wind pulled back. The beast had frightened him. With its set of supreme true

44:03treasures and a godly power burning technique. The army had rules and some inheritance was forbidden

44:10to leak. But what a person comprehended personally was an exception. Northern true ocean was a superpower

44:16among the strange beasts. With nine true gods of the void space and a mighty limit true god of the

44:22void. Space as its leader. Next to them, the dry wilderness tribe was nothing.

44:27Die! The beast roared and dashed at Luo Feng. Burning godly power? Luo Feng sneered. It was

44:35nothing new. Duan Mi held many volumes created by the three ancestral teachers. And universe supreme

44:41masters could learn the first three. Great beings creating techniques like the first two volumes was not

44:47rare. Since the world of jinn held a rich ancient inheritance too. Slash! Luo Feng's shadow blurred.

44:54He appeared behind the beast. And blood shadow. Blade became a thin trace of light that swelled into

45:00a miniature universe and swallowed the whole creature. The slaughter went on and warriors and beasts kept

45:07dying. But the fiercest fight was Luo Feng against the beast. The beast had supreme true treasures and a

45:13burning technique. But Luo Feng had trained for over eight million years. And in the space of

45:18inheritance that was over eight million eras, which had sharpened his blade and close combat

45:23techniques enormously. Still, he did not know the army's ways, so he held back. He was a talent

45:30shaped by the inheritance of Duan Dong River. And in the world of jinn all the precious inheritance lay

45:36inside the military. How could he be this strong without special inheritance? It was unrealistic.

45:42The army might examine his background and cause him trouble. Better to learn the army first.

45:47Then show more and more power slowly. Grow stronger and take what he wanted. Your godly power is under

45:54half now, he said. You're no match for me. Over those eight million eras, he had built a close

46:00combat technique called Flowing Gold from Blood Ocean. The close combat technique of the third ancestral

46:06teacher of Duan Dong River. The beast rolled and slammed into the endless sand. His godly body was

46:12under half. Ten times weaker than at the start. And he was no match for Luo Feng.

46:18Stop! A mighty force fell suddenly. The earlier pressure had been like a breeze. And this one was

46:24like a mountain. Every fighting universe master, Luo Feng included, dropped to the ground unable to resist.

46:30Is this the power of a true god of the void space? Luo Feng thought in amazement. The single-horned

46:36man

46:37walked down and looked around. 921 had survived. You and you, he said, pointing at Luo Feng and the beast.

46:45You two join the python river army.
