"Thank you for saving Xi Blade back then." (TL/N: Reminder, Xi Blade is Tide Blade King.)
Venerable Jiu Feng looked at Luo Fan with an exceptionally gentle expression.
"We are all members of the human race. I just happened to be there at the time."
"If one has the ability, then of course one should save them."
Hearing this, Luo Fan waved his hand and said with a smile.
After hearing Luo Fan's words, the gentleness in Venerable Jiu Feng's eyes deepened further.
Although King Xi Blade had mentioned this matter to Venerable Jiu Feng because they were of the same race,
for the safety of his precious disciple,
he would never expose Luo Fan's identity.
In fact, if Venerable Jiu Feng had not asked King Xi Blade whether he had suffered any losses back then, King Xi Blade would not have taken the initiative to mention this matter at all.
Venerable Jiu Feng was considered one of the strongest among the Wolfman race.
As such, he was aware of many matters concerning the Wolfman race.
He naturally knew about the incident in which King Xi Blade had been surrounded and attacked.
After all, King Xi Blade was one of the few titled kings in the Wolfman race who had hope of breaking through to the Venerable realm.
Therefore, Venerable Jiu Feng paid close attention to information related to King Xi Blade.
Now that he had encountered the lifesaver of his Wolfman race's younger generation genius, Venerable Jiu Feng's attitude was naturally extremely gentle.
Soon, Venerable Jiu Feng began introducing this Inheritance Land to Luo Fan.
This Inheritance Land possessed an extremely powerful pressure. Without King-level strength, anyone who came here would perish.
As for the black mist surrounding it, as long as one entered it, one could receive an inheritance.
Aside from this basic information, Luo Fan also knew one more thing.
This Inheritance Land had originally been created by the Primordial Universe itself.
The Ancestral God Cult could be said to be the spokesperson of the Primordial Universe's will.
Therefore, the Ancestral God Secret Realm was, apart from the Primal Star, the place closest to the origin of the Primordial Universe.
And this Inheritance Land was the location within the Ancestral God Cult that was closest to the origin of the Primordial Universe.
Luo Fan even suspected that the black mist surrounding this place was very likely formed from the origin of the Primordial Universe itself.
Otherwise, how could it have such an effect?
Guiding life to inherit the path of the Beast Gods.
Within the Primordial Universe, only the Primordial Universe itself could accomplish such a thing.
Although this place appeared vast,
in reality, it still contained only a very small portion of the Primordial Universe's origin.
Luo Fan himself had already communicated with the origin of the Primordial Universe before.
After every lifeform breaks through to the World Lord realm, they can communicate with the origin of the Primordial Universe.
This was also the reason why the clarity of laws at the World Master level was so high and why the speed of comprehending laws was so fast.
Aside from that, Luo Fan had also communicated with the origin of the Primordial Universe through another method.
That method was Origin Supreme Treasures!
The greatest function of Origin Supreme Treasures was precisely to communicate with the origin of the Primordial Universe.
Only in this way could one rapidly absorb energy from the universe and recover divine power.
However, although Luo Fan had long since communicated with the origin of the Primordial Universe countless times,
all of that was merely communication at the level of consciousness.
He had never been able to see the origin of the Primordial Universe in reality.
If one wished to see the origin of the Primordial Universe, there was only one way.
That was to become a fellow inmate of the Original Ancestor.
Of course, one could also enslave a World Beast King and fight all the way to the origin of the Primordial Universe.
The last method was to seize control of the Primordial Universe itself.
However, all of these methods were far too distant for Luo Fan.
At present, the best way he could think of to approach the origin of the Primordial Universe was to come to the Ancestral God Cult.
Especially the Inheritance Land.
He did not need to reach the origin of the Primordial Universe itself.
He only needed to come into contact with the origin power of the Primordial Universe.
Even if it was just a trace, it would be enough!
When Luo Fan obtained this clone-birthing method from the system, he had already thought about what kind of clones he needed.
At the very beginning, he planned to obtain a clone similar to that of the Demon Slayer race.
This would be beneficial for his early-stage accumulation.
The second clone would ideally be one that made it easier for him to preserve his life, or that possessed particularly good innate secret techniques or special functions.
The third would be the Nether Sea clone.
As the most important clone of the original novel's male protagonist, Luo Feng, this was something Luo Fan definitely wanted to nurture.
However, he quickly thought of something.
His clone secret technique was different from those of others.
To nurture a clone, the materials he required had no restrictions whatsoever.
Even beings above his own realm, existences beyond the Immortal level, were acceptable.
Second, nurturing a clone did not require an internal world.
This meant that he could nurture clones at any realm.
Even breaking through to True God and then nurturing clones would be no problem.
This gave rise to several bold plans in his mind.
At first, the fourth clone he decided on was a World Beast!
Yes, what clone could be better than a World Beast?
If he nurtured a World Beast clone, it was very likely that he could use it to become a World Beast King.
After all, the clones he nurtured, if they did not undergo assimilation from system task rewards, would be identical to the lifeforms that provided the life materials.
They would even share the same soul.
This was why Luo Fan was able to obtain vast amounts of memory when he nurtured the Mechanical race clone.
In other words, if he nurtured a World Beast clone,
then that clone would be a genuine World Beast.
There would be no difference whatsoever compared to other World Beasts!
In that case, he could completely rely on the World Beast clone to comprehend the Origin Great Dao of Destruction.
It could be said that by nurturing a World Beast clone, he would obtain a ticket to the God King realm.
Of course, this required early-stage accumulation.
Therefore, his original plan was to come to the Ancestral God Cult and directly use the divine power of the Lord of Nine Nether Seas to nurture a clone.
As long as he could enter the Nine Nether Space,
it would not matter even if the incarnation died.
The genes of the Lord of Nine Nether Seas himself were certainly superior to those of the Imperial Seas.
The Nether Sea could also be said to be the optimal answer of the current era.
Therefore, Luo Fan placed very few restrictions on the first two clones.
Even if they were extremely weak, it did not matter.
As long as they allowed him to develop.
What he valued the most were the latter two clones.
The Nether Sea clone could grant him a divine body spanning twelve light-years.
At the same time, it could also grant him creation-type secret techniques, allowing him to walk the divine power path.
However, later on, Luo Fan suddenly thought of something.
Were creation-type secret techniques truly exclusive to the Nether Sea?
At that time, his authority level was quite high.
So he searched through a large amount of information in the Virtual Universe.
He later discovered that there were still a small number of special lifeforms that possessed innate secret techniques similar to creation.
While examining this information, Luo Fan noticed that these special lifeforms were basically all nurtured by the Primordial Universe.
Moreover, most of these races only had a single individual.
Even if there were multiple individuals, they were similar to the Imperial Seas created by the Lord of Nine Nether Seas.
At that moment, Luo Fan suddenly thought of something.
Could the Primordial Universe itself be considered a lifeform?
If one said it was not, the Primordial Universe was indeed a celestial body.
But if one said it was, it could indeed be considered one.
After all, the Primordial Universe also had its own will.
Moreover, lifeforms similar to celestial bodies were not unheard of.
Then if the Primordial Universe truly counted as a lifeform, could it also be nurtured as a clone?
After all, the system could nurture any kind of clone.
The moment he thought of this, Luo Fan could no longer remain calm.
Compared to the Primordial Universe, the Nether Sea clone was nothing at all.
One had to know that the Primordial Universe was an existence at the God King level!
The greatest benefit of seizing control of the Primordial Universe was that it could be used to comprehend the Dao of Life.
If he nurtured the Primordial Universe itself as a clone…
Moreover, the Primordial Universe would certainly possess secret techniques similar to creation!
Otherwise, where would all the lifeforms within the Primordial Universe have come from?
Were they not all nurtured by the Primordial Universe?
The more Luo Fan thought about it, the more excited he became.
He decided to give it a try.
He thought of several methods.
The first method was the simplest, directly using something that was not a lifeform to attempt nurturing.
If it was not a lifeform, it could not be nurtured into a clone.
However, Luo Fan failed.
He quickly understood why.
These non-living things, such as spatial fragments within the Primordial Universe,
were things created by the Primordial Universe itself and could not serve as biological materials of the Primordial Universe.
With the first method failing, he moved on to the second.
That was Universe Crystals.
Especially the Universe Crystals formed within a World Master's internal world after breaking through.
These were condensed from the origin of the Primordial Universe.
Unfortunately, this still failed.
After all, once these Universe Crystals transformed from origin power into crystallized form, they likely could no longer serve as life materials of the Primordial Universe.
With two methods failing, there was the third.
The Primordial Universe Membrane!
At the deepest part of the spatial interlayer lay the Primordial Universe Membrane.
Once one broke through the Primordial Universe Membrane, one could leave the Primordial Universe and head to the Universe Sea.
However, there was a problem.
The Primordial Universe Membrane was extremely thick.
Without the strength of a Universe Master, Luo Fan simply could not break through it.
Let alone cut a piece off to use as life material.
That left only the fourth method.
This was also the one Luo Fan believed had the highest chance of success.
Using the origin of the Primordial Universe itself!
If it were truly possible to nurture a Primordial Universe clone,
then the origin of the Primordial Universe would definitely be usable as clone-nurturing material!
Obtaining the origin of the Primordial Universe was extremely difficult.
Luo Fan had even once attempted to use unowned divine power infused by the Primordial Universe during an Immortal's breakthrough to nurture a clone.
Unfortunately, it failed.
Another method of seeking the origin of the Primordial Universe was the Primal Star.
The Primal Star was also one of the places in the universe closest to the origin of the Primordial Universe.
However, the Primal Star had not yet opened.
So he was unable to attempt it.
At the current stage, the best method he could think of was to come to the Ancestral God Cult!
Within the Ancestral God Cult, there was a place extremely close to the origin of the Primordial Universe.
That was the location of the Inheritance Land!
Luo Fan still had a certain degree of confidence in this.
After all, only the origin of the Primordial Universe could produce such miraculous effects as the Inheritance Land.
Luo Fan glanced at the system panel and the only remaining task displayed on it.
[Task: Nurture the Primordial Universe as a clone. Reward: Comprehensive enhancement of the Primordial Universe clone.]
The existence of this task further strengthened Luo Fan's confidence in nurturing the Primordial Universe as his third clone.
He had already thought it through back then.
Regardless of whether nurturing succeeded or not, this task would be established.
Failure would merely occupy a task slot.
He currently had sufficient task slots, so there was no need to worry.
If it succeeded, the benefits would be enormous.
Looking at the black mist before him, Luo Fan slowly stepped forward.
At the moment he came into contact with the black mist, his mind stirred.
"System, nurture a clone!"
