In the Virtual Universe, on the Pantheon Mountain.
The highest council convened, and all Human Race Universe Venerables and stronger individuals gathered on the Pantheon Mountain.
On the mountainside, the Universe Venerables were conversing.
"This highest meeting convened by the Human Race should be about the opening of Original Star."
"With this opening of Original Star, who knows how many strong individuals will fall…"
"For us low-level and Intermediate Venerables, the opening of Original Star is a rare good thing. Those Advanced Venerables and Universe Overlords have all gone to Original Star to search for treasures, which just gives us an opportunity to explore Universe Secret Realms."
"That's good, but those resource-rich Universe Secret Realms, according to past practice, will see a large influx of low-level and Intermediate Venerables, and the fighting will be even more intense than when the Advanced Venerables and Universe Overlords were there."
"Those ordinary Human Race Universe Venerables are waiting for Original Star to open, and then they will go to resource-rich Universe Secret Realms to fight and compete for treasures."
"Original Star is the battlefield for those Advanced Venerables, Universe Overlords, and the Universe Masters. Our battlefield is still those resource-rich Universe Secret Realms…"
Original Star is too dangerous; even Advanced Universe Venerables need to form teams to act, and even Universe Overlords dare not claim to be able to rampage freely.
Only Top-tier Universe Overlords and Universe Master have the capital to rampage freely on Original Star!
It is precisely because Original Star is too dangerous that low-level and Intermediate Universe Venerables generally do not consider venturing into Original Star.
This is because for them, the probability of falling is far greater than the possibility of acquiring treasures!
Unlike the low-level and Intermediate Universe Venerables,
the Advanced Venerables were discussing, either agreeing to go to Original Star to seek treasures or communicating via spiritual transmission to borrow treasures from friends.
Venerable Bei Ming asked, "Ganwu, are you going to Original Star to seek treasures this time?"
"Not this time."
Lord of Ganwu shook his head helplessly, "I just finished paying back my owed Human Race contributions, and my treasures are too poor."
Falling for the second time on Original Star was too great a loss for Lord of Ganwu; he lost all his treasures and those borrowed from friends.
Fortunately, his Official Disciple offered a Beast God Inheritance Token, and Ender's rise allowed him to gain a large amount of contribution, otherwise he would still owe contributions to the Human Race and his friends.
But even with a large amount of contribution, for him, who was left impoverished, it was not easy to gather the treasures needed to venture into Original Star, unless he borrowed from friends…
Venerable Bei Ming inquired, "Since you are not going to venture into Original Star, can you lend me your Soul-guarding Treasure?"
When they drank with Ender last time, Lord of Ganwu had mentioned that he possessed a Soul-guarding Treasure.
Now that Ganwu is not venturing into Original Star, he can just borrow this Soul-guarding Treasure for protection, giving him stronger life-saving ability when facing Universe Venerables skilled in Soul attacks.
"No problem."
Facing his friend's request to borrow a treasure, Lord of Ganwu readily agreed.
Anyway, he wasn't going to venture into Original Star, so lending out the treasure was fine.
On the other side.
Ten Thousand Forest Venerable was conversing with some Universe Venerables who Cultivated the Beast God Path.
"Wansen, your luck is truly good. The newly established Void-Rending Primal Chaos Tablet by the Human Race, its latter four diagrams contain the mysteries of the Wood-Space Beast God Path."
A Universe Venerable sighed, "Now you only need to comprehend the Void-Rending Primal Chaos Tablet to continue Cultivating and improving on the Wood-Space Beast God Path, unlike us… we still need to seek out the Beast God's footprints."
"Yes, back then everyone was the same, but now…"
Another Universe Venerable also nodded, his words filled with envy.
He had also gone to comprehend the Void-Rending Primal Chaos Tablet. Although the Primal Chaos Tablet did not yet have profound Cultivation secret techniques, just those latter four diagrams were enough to allow those comprehending the Wood-Space Beast God Path to Cultivate for countless years.
In fact, those latter four diagrams subtly point directly to the complete Wood-Space Fusion Laws, allowing one to Cultivate to Major Achievement in the Wood-Space Beast God Path!
What is Major Achievement in the Wood-Space Beast God Path?
It is transforming into a Beast God, breaking through to become a great existence like a Universe Master!
"This Void-Rending Primal Chaos Tablet explains the Wood-Space Beast God Path, and even points directly to Major Achievement in the Wood-Space Beast God Path."
The Universe Venerable who spoke first guessed, "Do you think this Primal Chaos Tablet, could it be…?"
"It should be correct."
Another Universe Venerable nodded, "Among our Human Race, there is only one individual with such profound attainments in the Wood-Space Beast God Path."
Ten Thousand Forest Venerable listened, and without much thought, knew who the two were referring to.
And when he thought of that person, his heart was filled with emotion.
"Tens of millions of years have passed, and I never thought he would become the leader of the Human Race in the Wood-Space Beast God Path."
Ten Thousand Forest Venerable recalled tens of millions of years ago, when he first met that person, he was merely a Universe Level young fellow.
Although he was a Prodigy-level Genius that appeared once every tens of millions of epochs, he had only shown a bit of talent in the Wood-Space Beast God Path.
At that time, he still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that he would become a fellow traveler on the Wood-Space Beast God Path, but he never thought he could achieve such a level!
"Wansen, I heard you know that individual?"
The Universe Venerable who spoke first continued, "You say, has that individual broken through?"
"I don't know either."
Ten Thousand Forest Venerable shook his head, then added, "You and I are both Advanced Venerables. When the highest council begins, we might know the result."
The three of them were all Advanced Venerables and could see the figures of Seven Star Overlord-level strong individuals. From those figures, they could vaguely discern whether that individual was still among the Seven Star Overlords.
"Then let's wait for the meeting to begin."
"Let's wait for the meeting to start."
The two Universe Venerables nodded upon hearing this.
On the other side.
Venerable Lingtu was also being questioned by some Universe Venerables about Ender's matters.
But how could he know those things? These past years, he had been in secluded Cultivation, attempting to create more profound secret techniques.
If it weren't for the Human Race convening the highest council, he would probably still be in secluded Cultivation.
Therefore, when faced with numerous inquiries from Universe Venerables, Venerable Lingtu used secluded Cultivation as an excuse to prevaricate.
Boom…
Suddenly, the heavens and earth rumbled.
In the clouds atop the Pantheon Mountain, two magnificent gates, adorned with brilliant starry skies and emitting dazzling golden light, slowly opened.
"Human Race strong individuals, gather!"
A majestic voice resounded throughout the entire world.
Whoosh!
All the strong individuals on the Pantheon Mountain instantly vanished, all transported into the Pantheon Sanctuary where the highest council was being held.
Rumble…
The two gates, which illuminated the entire space with golden light, slammed shut.
…
Inside the Pantheon Sanctuary.
There was an exquisitely carved, incredibly massive round table.
And around that massive round table, there were densely packed thrones, seemingly endless at a glance.
Around the massive round table, the densely packed divine seats were divided into five levels.
2 meters wide, 10 meters wide, 50 meters wide, 200 meters wide, and 1000 meters wide, with all strong individuals' divine bodies perfectly matching their respective chairs.
Among them, the 200-meter-wide divine seats were for Universe Overlord-level strong individuals.
At the highest point of the Pantheon Sanctuary,
there were numerous majestic thrones, 1000 meters in size. Most of these thrones were dazzling gold, with only the two central majestic thrones being black, emitting a solemn aura.
On one of the black thrones, there was a faint carving of a Huge Axe, and seated on this throne was the Huge Axe Creator, resembling a savage.
However, the other black throne beside him was empty; no one was seated there.
But Ender knew that black throne belonged to Ancestor Yuan, who was suppressed by the Original Universe Origin.
The two black thrones represented the Human Race's two True God!
The last time the highest council was convened, Ender sat on a 50-meter throne and was questioned by numerous Universe Venerables.
Now, he sat upon a 1000-meter golden majestic throne, overlooking all Human Race Universe Venerables and Universe Overlords.
"Void River, the Void-Rending Primal Chaos Tablet you created is very ingenious. You are indeed the first Universe Master of our Human Race to Breakthrough through the Beast God Path."
Desolation Master, who was also seated on a golden majestic throne, said, "It's a pity that there are no profound accompanying Cultivation secret techniques."
"It's already good enough to create a Primal Chaos Tablet that points directly to Major Achievement in the Wood-Space Beast God Path in over two million years."
Dragon Walk Master softly said, "Desolation, don't forget, Void River still has to create the Strongest Secret Technique."
"Creating the Strongest Secret Technique is not easy. It took me hundreds of thousands of epochs to create my Strongest Secret Technique back then."
Desolation Master turned his head and asked, "Void River, have you made any progress in creating the Strongest Secret Technique during these past two million years?"
Upon hearing this, the Universe Master could not help but turn their gazes to Ender; they also wanted to know the progress of the Strongest Secret Technique's creation.
In the eyes of those veterann Third-rank Universe Master, it was already not easy for Ender, who had just Broken through to become a Universe Master, to create a Primal Chaos Tablet in over two million years; how could he still have time to perfect and create the Strongest Secret Technique?
"Not only has there been progress, but significant progress."
Ender smiled and said, "Currently, the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique has been created, and there is even subtle room for further improvement. Unfortunately, Original Star is opening, so there's no time to further perfect it…"
"Hmm! Already created the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique?"
Lancang Master of the Huge Axe Dojo exclaimed in surprise, "Void River, you're not joking, are you?"
Lancang Master was a veterann Third-rank Universe Master and also had ideas for creating the Strongest Secret Technique, but he had been unable to make further progress in creating the secret technique.
Yet Ender, who had just Broken through to become a Universe Master, not only had ideas for creating the Strongest Secret Technique upon his Breakthrough but also created the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique while establishing the Primal Chaos Tablet.
This progress in creating secret techniques far surpassed that of him, a veterann Third-rank Universe Master!
Not only Lancang Master, but other Third-rank Universe Master, despite their extensive knowledge, still showed surprise.
No other reason, simply because Ender's progress in creating secret techniques was too fast!
In over two million years, he not only created the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique but also established a Primal Chaos Tablet that points directly to Major Achievement in the Wood-Space Beast God Path.
"Void River, have you really created the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique?" Penggong Master asked.
"That's right." Ender nodded.
"Haha, very good."
Huge Axe Creator smiled upon hearing this, "Void River, since you have already created the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique, you will be able to perfect and create the Strongest Secret Technique in at most hundreds of thousands of epochs. At that time, our Human Race will gain another strong individual who can awe the Universe."
The other Universe Master, upon hearing this, their expressions changed from surprise to a smile.
As members of the Human Race, they were happy that Ender had created the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique.
In their opinion, Ender, having created the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique, was already halfway into the Fourth-rank Universe Master level.
"Void River, your talent in creating secret techniques is extraordinary."
Desolation Master shook his head and sighed, "Even when establishing a Primal Chaos Tablet, you can create the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique…"
"It's just a prototype, that's all." Ender smiled.
"That's the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique! And he says 'that's all'…"
The Third-rank Universe Master, upon hearing this, were at a loss for words.
If they could, they would want to create the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique, but unfortunately… they couldn't!
"Void River is too good at showing off. This is the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique."
You Hou Master, who was beside him, shook his head slightly and sighed inwardly, "If I could create the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique, my teacher might bestow upon me a top-tier Arcana Treasure."
You Hou Master was quite envious of Ender; his talent in creating secret techniques was too strong. While establishing the Primal Chaos Tablet, he still had the energy to create the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique.
Back then, it took him nearly three million years to establish the "Holy You Primal Chaos Tablet."
"This secret technique of mine still has room for improvement,"
Ender smiled and said, "Perhaps during the Original Star period, I will complete this Strongest Secret Technique."
The Universe Master exchanged glances upon hearing this, then smiled, all thinking Ender was joking.
The high difficulty of creating the Strongest Secret Technique was recognized throughout the Original Universe and even the Universe Ocean!
How could Ender, who had just created the prototype of the Strongest Secret Technique, truly create the Strongest Secret Technique during the busy period of Original Star's opening?
Seeing that the Universe Master didn't quite believe him, Ender didn't care much.
Anyway, he had already said his piece, and when he demonstrated the Strongest Secret Technique, it would be a matter of course.
While the Universe Master thought Ender was joking, Ice Summit Master's expression remained unchanged.
But based on his understanding of his Disciple, he knew that Ender would not speak without reason, and he might truly be able to create the Strongest Secret Technique during the Original Star period.
Huge Axe Creator smiled, watching the Universe Master converse.
"Chaos."
Then, he said to Primal Chaos City Lord, who was on the golden throne to his left, "You still preside over the meeting."
"Hmm."
Primal Chaos City Lord nodded, then spoke, "Everyone!"
A gentle yet majestic voice spread downwards, and the entire Pantheon Sanctuary instantly fell silent.
"Each time the highest council is convened, it is because of a major event significant enough to affect the entire Human Race."
Primal Chaos City Lord's voice was majestic, echoing throughout the Pantheon Sanctuary. The Universe Master also stopped conversing when he spoke, listening quietly.
"This highest council is convened because… Original Star is about to open."
The Venerables, upon hearing this, were not surprised; they simply listened quietly.
"Original Star is about to open?"
Venerable Eternal Universe (Kedi), Venerable Fire Erosion, Venerable Gu Lun, and other newly promoted Venerables were quite surprised upon hearing this.
"Original Star is the core of our vast Universe, a place of contention for billions of Human Race."
Primal Chaos City Lord said, "This opening… is no exception! If you want to obtain Heavy Treasure, if you want to make great contributions to the Human Race, this is your chance! You can first browse the detailed information."
In front of the many strong individuals seated on the densely packed divine seats, a light screen appeared.
Kedi looked at the light screen in front of him, and after reading the detailed information about Original Star, his face couldn't help but show a look of shock!
10,081 Original Stars, encircling the "Universe Origin Land," can be said to be the closest place to the "Universe Origin Land."
It contains numerous treasures, and similarly, it is accompanied by numerous dangers!
These 10,081 Original Stars also breed countless treasures and pose numerous dangers.
There are a total of 10,081 passages leading to Original Star, but these tens of thousands of passages… are normally always closed and only open once after an extremely long period of time has passed.
Each opening lasts for one thousand epochs, and after one thousand epochs, they will close…
All strong individuals who enter must come out before the closing, otherwise, they will inevitably fall!
No matter if it's Clone lingering, Avatar lingering, or other secret techniques, they are all ineffective. As long as one remains in Original Star when it closes… one will definitely fall!
No exceptions!
This is the most mysterious place in the Universe! No other place can surpass it.
The 10,081 Original Stars, though fraught with danger, also contain countless treasures; Heavy Treasure is not even worth mentioning, and Arcana Treasures frequently appear!
The super existences of the billions of Human Race in the Universe will engage in fierce battles here, competing for treasures for their respective Human Race!
Each opening is a terrifying slaughter…
Each opening, Universe Master fall within it.
It's very bloody, very cruel!
Yet it also drives countless strong individuals to madness!
This… is Original Star, the place closest to the Universe Origin Land!
"The opening of Original Star is still 10 years away from now. Everyone can prepare during these 10 years."
Primal Chaos City Lord said, "For example, several strong individuals who can complement each other can form a small team, or borrow treasures from some strong individuals who are unwilling to go to Original Star, etc… All preparations should be made within these 10 years."
"In 10 years, our Human Race will advance into Original Star!"
…
In Primal Chaos City Lord's calm, majestic voice, like a vast ocean, the highest council concluded.
All Universe Venerables left the Pantheon Sanctuary, preparing for the opening of Original Star.
Ender did not need to prepare; he simply waited quietly for Original Star to open.
At this moment, Seventh Senior Brother, Venerable Ling Tu, came to visit…
