In the Human Race’s Origin Well.
Ye Tian was in seclusion within the Origin Well, which he had seized. When the Origin Realm shattered and merged into the main world, an Origin Well naturally fell into the main world as well.
Origin Wells were extremely rare and difficult to find. Despite this, Ye Tian managed to obtain information about one and forcefully took it, relocating it to the territory of the Human Race.
Unfortunately, he did not know the whereabouts of other Origin Wells. Otherwise, he would have been able to procure more origin energy to strengthen the Human Race’s foundation.
After five thousand years of seclusion in the Origin Well, Ye Tian made tremendous progress, surpassing everyone’s expectations.
He advanced to the peak of the third layer of the Burning Fire Soul Refining Technique, completing its third transformation. The Eternal Light Divine Ability reached the pinnacle of the minor realm. Both the Great Immortality Technique and the Great Destruction Technique entered the minor realm, their power surging dramatically.
Additionally, the Void Sky Diagram showed some improvement. Through his efforts, he finally comprehended about twenty percent of it. Unfortunately, he still didn’t understand its purpose, and it seemed to yield no significant results despite his comprehension.
Nevertheless, it was his only way to become a personal disciple. Even if it proved useless, he would continue to study it.
After five thousand years of arduous cultivation and with abundant resources, the bottleneck between the third and fourth layers of the Profound Void Technique finally showed signs of cracking. He was just one step away.
Now, he aimed to shatter this bottleneck and advance to the entry stage of the fourth layer.
If he succeeded, his strength would surely see a remarkable increase.
Time passed slowly. Ye Tian’s aura grew stronger as a large amount of origin water merged into his body, helping him break through the bottleneck.
Finally, at a certain moment, Ye Tian’s aura surged, his body cracked and healed repeatedly.
“Profound Void Technique, break through to the fourth layer!” Ye Tian silently shouted.
Boom! Ye Tian’s body truly broke through its limits, entering a whole new level.
At the same time, countless top-grade Divine Crystals, Chaos Crystals, and other energy crystals he had prepared turned into energy and surged into Ye Tian’s body, aiding his rapid transformation.
After a long while, Ye Tian stabilized his realm.
“I finally broke through. With my body’s transformation and the enhancement of my divine abilities, my strength has probably reached the peak of the three-star level!” Ye Tian speculated.
The power of a Divine General increased significantly with each minor layer. Although the Profound Void Technique was formidable, it wasn’t enough to elevate his strength by an entire star level with just one breakthrough. That was unrealistic.
However, now that the Profound Void Technique had reached the entry stage of the fourth layer, if it advanced to the major realm of the fourth layer, even without improvements in other aspects, he might break through the bottleneck and become a four-star Divine General.
The progress from the entry stage to the major realm of the fourth layer of the Profound Void Technique involved no significant bottlenecks, just a matter of time. Therefore, becoming a four-star Divine General would not be too challenging for Ye Tian.
In essence, Ye Tian was now equivalent to a quasi-four-star Divine General.
When Ye Tian emerged from the Origin Well, several Earthly Venerables appeared before him.
These Earthly Venerables were Earthly Venerable Kunwu and Earthly Venerable Primordial, the current pillars of the Human Race. They were the true administrators of the Human Race, as Ye Tian rarely managed the Human Race himself.
“Divine General of Ten Thousand Laws, some races have expressed their desire to ally with our Human Race,” said Earthly Venerable Primordial.
“Some races want to ally with us?”
Ye Tian was not surprised. In the current cosmic environment, many races in the universe were struggling to survive. Without a powerful backer, they faced the constant threat of extinction.
And the Human Race was undoubtedly the greatest power in the universe now, so naturally, many forces wanted to ally with them.
“Accept them for now, but if there are any races that have a very bad relationship with the Human Race or only want to ally without following orders, reject them,” Ye Tian said.
“Understood!” Earthly Venerable Primordial responded.
“Any news from the Cangyu Universe?” Ye Tian asked again.
Since his fourth and third incarnations had already been recalled, he was not very clear about the situation in the Cangyu Universe. However, the Human Race had some powerful individuals in the Cangyu Universe, and Earthly Venerable Primordial and the others could contact them to keep up with the information.
Therefore, Earthly Venerable Primordial and the others were very well informed about the Cangyu Universe’s situation.
“Divine General of Ten Thousand Laws, the Cangyu Universe is developing well, but since it was already at a peak, the progress is not significant. Our Eternal Universe, apart from having fewer Divine Generals, is gradually catching up in the Earthly Venerable tier.
However, we recently received information that a two-star Divine General from the Cangyu Universe was killed, seemingly by a joint attack from several Divine Generals of the Hidden God Organization. The killing happened so fast that the other Divine Generals couldn’t rescue him in time,” Earthly Venerable Primordial reported.
“What, a two-star Divine General was killed in a short time?” Ye Tian was shocked.
“Yes!” Earthly Venerable Primordial nodded. “The reason is unclear, but that two-star Divine General was killed at the entrance to a forbidden zone in the Cangyu Universe. Now, many Divine Generals have entered that forbidden zone. Perhaps they discovered some opportunity that led to the clash with the Hidden God Organization, but the two-star Divine General didn’t have time to escape and was killed!”
“An opportunity, huh!” Ye Tian felt a twinge of excitement.
Although he was now a peak three-star Divine General, becoming a four-star Divine General would probably take several tens of thousands of years. However, with a great opportunity, he might break through in just a few thousand years.
In the universe, without opportunities and resources, even the best legacies would find it hard to rapidly ascend to the four-star Divine General level. But with a great opportunity, even with an average legacy, one could become a four-star Divine General in a short time.
With less than ten million years remaining until the fusion of the two universes, he had to seize every opportunity.
“Earthly Venerable Primordial, Earthly Venerable Kunwu, I am preparing to make a trip to the Cangyu Universe. Take good care of the Human Race, and if anything happens, notify me immediately!” Ye Tian instructed.
“Understood!” Earthly Venerable Primordial and Earthly Venerable Kunwu nodded.
They knew Ye Tian’s strength. In the dual universe, he was absolutely invincible. Even in the Cangyu Universe’s forbidden zones, Ye Tian wouldn’t be in danger unless all the Divine Generals besieged him, which would only cause him slight trouble.
But it would only be a minor inconvenience. If Ye Tian wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
Swish! Ye Tian traversed through space, taking some time to reach the black hole node of the dual universe.
At this moment, many areas of the two universes had already merged. The merged area had turned into large continents, where countless giant cities had been built for trading between the forces of the two universes.
Some people even lived there, treating it as their home.
This place had also been given a name—New Universe! Ye Tian did not linger in the New Universe but quickly traversed into the Cangyu Universe.
