When Giant Axe and the other human Universe Masters heard this, joy immediately appeared on their faces.
A legacy left behind by a powerhouse at the level of the Original Ancestor.
This was extremely precious.
One had to know that the Original Ancestor was a powerhouse who possessed peak tenth-tier strength.
Peak tenth tier could be said to be the limit of a True God.
A legacy like this was extremely valuable.
In fact, it could not be said that the human race had no legacy from peak tenth-tier powerhouses.
The Original Ancestor's was one.
Other human powerhouses, and even some Universe Overlords, had left behind Chaos Monument legacies for the geniuses of the human race to comprehend.
As the strongest existence the human race once had, how could the Original Ancestor possibly not have left behind his own legacy?
However, the Original Ancestor's legacy mainly focused on soul attacks.
Among the human race's powerhouses, very few followed the path of the soul.
Among the Universe Masters, the only ones proficient in soul techniques were the Lord of Darkness and his disciple the Lord of Nether Marquis.
The Original Ancestor's legacy was therefore only somewhat useful to those two.
However, breaking through to become a Universe Strongest was different from breaking through to become a Universe Master.
To break through to the Universe Strongest realm, one could not follow the path walked by predecessors.
In other words, both the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Nether Marquis could not rely on the legacy left by the Original Ancestor to break through to become Universe Strongest.
The Original Ancestor's legacy could only serve as a reference.
Even so, it was still extremely precious.
And the legacy Luo Fan obtained this time came from a powerhouse at the limit of the True God realm.
A new legacy was extremely important for the human race.
Because that powerhouse had very likely already died.
Perhaps they could break through to the Universe Strongest by following this path.
Even if that did not work, they could still compare and cross-reference it with the legacy left by the Original Ancestor.
"A legacy left by a powerhouse at the level of the Original Ancestor."
"The supreme treasures were probably obtained from there as well."
"This luck is simply too heaven-defying."
The expressions on the faces of these human race powerhouses were extremely complicated.
They had originally thought Luo Fan's treasures all came from the Universe Sea.
Luo Fan had no intention of explaining. Otherwise, the origin of these things would be difficult to explain.
Although the human race powerhouses were very excited at this moment, they were also somewhat depressed.
They had explored the Universe Sea for countless eras and never obtained treasures or legacies like this.
Luo Fan had only gone for a short time, yet he returned with such enormous gains.
They could not help but suspect that Luo Fan might actually be the true favored son of the Original Universe.
After all, his Original Universe clone was right there.
Calling him the favored son of the Original Universe did not seem wrong.
"Because this kind of legacy is very difficult to upload into the Virtual Universe, I have placed it in the Origin Land of my Original Universe clone for now."
"You can go there to comprehend it whenever you want."
Although the Virtual Universe was extremely powerful and many secret techniques could be uploaded into it, important legacies like this were still very difficult to upload.
Moreover, the "Origin of the Thunder Universe" that Luo Fan obtained was engraved on a stone monument.
He could sense that this stone monument was even more precious than a Chaos Monument.
If it were merely uploading the secret technique, that would not be a problem.
But Luo Fan did not actually know this secret technique himself.
So he simply placed it in the Origin Land of the Original Universe clone. If these human race powerhouses wanted to comprehend it, they could go there directly.
"Save me a spot. I'll send an incarnation over."
"And me! Me too!"
"I'll directly send my clone to comprehend it."
"Same here!"
Upon hearing Luo Fan's words, these human race powerhouses immediately prepared to head toward the interior of the Original Universe clone to comprehend the "Origin of the Thunder Universe."
This kind of precious legacy was impossible for them to resist.
Especially since it might even allow them to break through to become Universe Strongest.
That was the most important thing.
Luo Fan did not care much about this.
For him, breaking through to become Universe Strongest was something that would naturally happen.
Although the "Origin of the Thunder Universe" would be useful later, there was no need to rush.
After all, reaching a gene level of one hundred thousand times required remaining at the Universe Master realm for countless eras.
This was different from other powerhouses.
If they failed to break through to Universe Strongest within this reincarnation era, they would basically never break through afterward.
Even a Void True God would find it difficult to provide the origin energy required for a True God's miniature universe.
Not to mention that if Luo Fan truly reached a gene level of one hundred thousand times, his miniature universe would be a thousand times larger than that of other True Gods.
If a Void True God tried to provide that much origin energy to help someone break through, their own miniature universe might risk collapsing.
However, Luo Fan was different.
He possessed the Original Universe clone.
The Original Universe clone could slowly grow.
Even if Luo Fan's main body and the other two clones did not reach the one hundred thousand times gene level, the Original Universe clone could directly break through to the True God realm.
After all, gene level was not important for the Original Universe clone.
The Original Universe clone could be said to be a lifeform with a gene level of one hundred thousand times.
After all, the Original Universe existed at the same level as the King of World Beasts.
Moreover, Luo Fan's Original Universe clone had also been strengthened by the system.
The Original Universe clone could continuously absorb chaotic airflow to expand its size.
Even if countless reincarnation eras passed and Luo Fan's main body had still not broken through, it would not matter.
After all, the amount of origin energy required for his main body to break through would be insignificant to the Original Universe clone by that time.
…
Soon, the human race powerhouses could no longer wait.
They directly sent incarnations to the Origin Land of the Original Universe clone.
After all, with wormholes available, it did not take much time for these human race powerhouses to travel from the Universe Sea to the Origin Land of the Original Universe clone.
Even Giant Axe became somewhat curious and prepared to go comprehend it as well.
He planned to try combining the secret techniques on the Heaven-Shaking Hammer with the "Origin of the Thunder Universe" to break through again and create a ninth-tier secret technique.
However, there was one exception.
That was Luo Fan's teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak.
Although the Lord of Ice Peak would also return to the Original Universe and enter the Original Universe clone, his main purpose was to comprehend the secret patterns on the Cold Universe Sword.
The "Origin of the Thunder Universe" was not suitable for him.
If he had no other choice, the Lord of Ice Peak would have gone like the other human race powerhouses to comprehend it and see whether it might inspire new insights.
But now that he had the Cold Universe Sword, which suited him even more, he did not bother squeezing in with the others.
The secret patterns on the Cold Universe Sword were extremely suitable for the Lord of Ice Peak.
By comprehending those patterns, the Lord of Ice Peak might very well break through to become Universe Strongest.
…
While the human race powerhouses went to comprehend the "Origin of the Thunder Universe" inside the Original Universe clone, Luo Fan continued traveling inside the Cosmic Boat.
As he went deeper, the dangerous regions became increasingly perilous.
An incarnation could easily die if it was careless.
Because of this, wormholes were very rare in this area.
As a result, Luo Fan's travel speed could not increase much.
He could only alternate between teleportation and slow flight.
From time to time he would release an incarnation to scout ahead.
Those scouting incarnations were created on the spot by the Space Worm clone.
These specialized scouting incarnations had very small divine bodies, only one hundred thousand kilometers long.
Even if they were lost, Luo Fan did not feel the slightest bit of regret.
The Space Worm clone only needed a few minutes to recover the lost divine power.
With those fearless incarnations scouting the path, Luo Fan spent only a little more than ten years before arriving at the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space.
Looking at the surrounding reference points, Luo Fan knew he was already very close to the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space.
He finally relaxed somewhat.
Along the way, in order to increase his speed, Luo Fan had sacrificed tens of thousands of incarnations.
That was how he managed to reach this place in such a short time.
If other Universe Sea powerhouses learned of this, they would likely feel heartbroken.
Although Luo Fan had deliberately made those incarnations very small, they were still one hundred thousand kilometers long.
Even that size was larger than the divine bodies of many Universe Sea powerhouses.
The divine power lost from tens of thousands of such incarnations would be an astronomical amount for those powerhouses.
Only someone like Luo Fan, who carried a Space Worm clone one hundred billion kilometers long, would consider it insignificant.
Looking at the massive stone pillars in the distance, Luo Fan recalled the information about the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space.
The Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space was one of the rare relatively safe places in the inner region of the Cosmic Boat.
Because within the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space, there were no dangerous regions.
As long as one did not approach the stone pillars too closely and court death, nothing would happen.
For the Universe Sea powerhouses exploring the Cosmic Boat, the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space was very safe.
Of course, encounters between enemies who had grudges against each other did not count.
Even in the safest place, enemies might still meet and fight.
The entire Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space was formed by sixteen black patterned stone pillars that were each more than a thousand light-years tall.
These sixteen stone pillars supported the entire space.
Throughout the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space, teleportation was possible everywhere except in the regions close to the stone pillars.
Basically, as long as there was no willpower shock in the area, teleportation could be used.
Each of the sixteen black patterned stone pillars contained extremely mysterious secret patterns.
Even the Universe Strongest of the Universe Sea could not fully comprehend those patterns.
This alone showed that the level of the secret patterns was extremely high.
Every one of those black patterned stone pillars possessed tremendous power, even stronger than supreme treasures such as True God treasures and Void True God treasures.
Luo Fan speculated that these black patterned stone pillars were likely treasures at the level of Eternal True Gods or even Chaos Overlords.
If he ever had the opportunity in the future, he might try to collect them.
Through system missions, he might obtain some good rewards.
Very likely something related to willpower.
That kind of reward was extremely precious.
Thinking of this, Luo Fan's gaze toward the sixteen black patterned stone pillars in the distance became somewhat greedy.
Other treasures might not interest him much.
But treasures related to willpower truly tempted him.
If he could collect them now, Luo Fan would have already acted.
According to the information obtained by the human race, no powerhouse had ever been able to personally touch the black patterned stone pillars.
This was because those stone pillars constantly emitted willpower shocks.
The closer one approached the pillars, the stronger the willpower shock became.
That was also why many powerhouses came here to temper their willpower.
Improving willpower was extremely difficult.
In the Original Universe, there were no secret techniques for cultivating willpower.
Normally, the only way to strengthen willpower was to raise one's realm.
Then the breakthrough in realm would naturally strengthen the willpower.
Aside from that, the best method was to resist willpower shocks and temper one's willpower through confrontation.
When one was weak, it was still possible to strengthen willpower through experiencing pain.
But after reaching a certain level, that amount of pain meant nothing.
However, the willpower shock within the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space was different. The shock here was extremely powerful.
Even Universe Strongest could not walk all the way to the stone pillars.
In addition, the closer one approached the pillars, the faster time flowed.
According to the current records of the human race, the area closest to the pillars that any powerhouse had reached had a time flow more than one hundred thousand times faster.
Because the black patterned stone pillars were so mysterious, many powerhouses gathered in the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space.
It was safe and had no dangerous regions.
Outside the willpower shock zones, one could teleport away to escape.
The time flow was extremely high, and it required no cost.
There were also extremely high-level secret patterns.
Finally, the place could temper one's willpower.
All these factors caused many of the powerhouses exploring the Cosmic Boat to gather here.
Some came specifically to cultivate.
Some came here to rest after adventuring deep within the Cosmic Boat for a long time.
Others came here to forge treasures.
After all, forging treasures also required a very long time.
By forging treasures here, one could use the time flow of the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space to produce several supreme treasures in a short time.
Looking at the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space in the distance, Luo Fan began teleporting directly.
Teleportation was possible here, and the distance was not far, so he did not bother constructing a wormhole.
After several consecutive teleports, Luo Fan noticed that the mist ahead began gradually thinning.
Within the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space, thick mist filled the upper and lower areas of the sixteen stone pillars, as well as the edges of the space.
However, there was not the slightest trace of mist between and around the sixteen pillars.
Many powerhouses who had visited this place said that areas with mist were very likely regions where teleportation was possible.
Places without mist were very likely areas where teleportation could not be used.
They speculated that the mist might mark the boundary between teleportable and non-teleportable regions.
However, most people believed that teleportation was only possible in areas without willpower shock.
Because once someone entered the region without mist, they would immediately begin to suffer willpower shock.
Luo Fan looked at the thinning mist.
He teleported directly into the region without mist.
In an instant, he felt a wave of willpower shock.
This willpower shock was not very strong.
As long as one possessed willpower at the Venerable level, it could be resisted.
However, the willpower shock here was continuous.
Wave after wave of willpower shock surged toward Luo Fan like tides.
But for Luo Fan, this level of willpower shock could be completely ignored.
