In the Virtual Universe, Huge Axe Godly Palace.
Amidst endless Chaotic airflow, majestic figures sat around a long stone table, conversing with each other.
"Ice Summit is amazing! Another one of his Disciples has broken through to become a Universe Master."
"He truly is amazing. I thought the next Universe Master in our Human Race would be Tian Shi Palace Master or Venerable Ancestral Tree."
"Now Void River's newly established Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company has two Universe Master."
"The Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company does have two Universe Master, but it only has two Universe Venerables as well."
Upon hearing this, the Universe Master couldn't help but laugh.
For a major power, having an equal number of Universe Master and Universe Venerables was indeed amusing.
However, they all knew that the reason for the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company's situation was mainly because it was founded too recently, and its founder grew too quickly, resulting in too few Universe Venerables under his command.
It should be known that the Human Race typically produces one Universe Venerable every ten million epochs.
The Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company had been established for less than two thousand epochs, which was still far from the average time for a Universe Venerable to emerge.
Suddenly, Huge Axe Creator spoke, "I just received an email from Chaos. Venerable Youmo's title has been changed to Phantom Blood Master."
Upon hearing this, the Universe Master stopped conversing, and their expressions turned solemn as they listened intently to Huge Axe Creator.
"From now on, Phantom Blood Master will be the 20th Universe Master of our Human Race."
Huge Axe Creator smiled, "Everyone, don't get the title wrong."
"Of course not."
"It's a pity that the title 'Youmo Master' has already been taken by a Demon race Universe Master; otherwise, he wouldn't need to change his title."
All the Universe Master nodded, indicating they would remember.
At the same time, some felt it was a pity. If he could have continued using his previous title, it would have helped his reputation.
However, in the Original Universe, where there were many Powerhouses, title conflicts were common.
Especially for Pinnacle-Level Immortal, title conflicts were even more frequent.
...
Not long after.
Ender and the others emerged from the Origin of the Virtual Universe, teleporting into the Chaotic airflow in front of the Huge Axe Godly Palace, and then one by one, they stepped out of the Chaotic airflow.
"Chaos."
"Void River."
"Darkness is here too."
Seeing the arrival of those from the Virtual Universe lineage, the Universe Master greeted them one after another.
"Phantom Blood, sit next to You Hou."
As Ender and the others took their seats, Ice Summit Master said to Phantom Blood Master, "That area belongs to your Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
"Mm."
Phantom Blood Master nodded slightly, briefly observed the back of the throne, and then sat down next to Youhou Master.
After sitting down, his gaze involuntarily swept across the seated Universe Master, noticing that the number of Universe Master differed from what he had previously found.
However, he felt that a discrepancy was normal.
Because the high-end combat power of a Human Race was often a secret, not all of it would be known to the Universe Venerables.
"Hmm? Junior Brother's position..."
Phantom Blood Master was surprised when he saw that the main seat was occupied by Huge Axe Creator, who had long, wild hair like a savage, with Primal Chaos City Lord and Ender on his left and right.
"Possessing a Xeon Arcana treasure, he can display strength comparable to a True God."
After a moment's thought, he was relieved. "This must be why Junior Brother can rank among the top three in the Human Race."
As a newly promoted Universe Master, Phantom Blood Master sat there silently, waiting for the other Universe Master to speak.
But Huge Axe Creator's next words deeply shocked his heart!
"Darkness, you didn't attend the last high-level meeting, and you missed the opportunity to comprehend a Xeon Arcana treasure."
Huge Axe Creator smiled, "Now, all Six Xeon Arcana treasures obtained by Void River are being comprehended by someone. You'll have to wait three thousand epochs (Original Universe time)."
"Six Xeon Arcana treasures! And they were all obtained by Junior Brother?!"
Phantom Blood Master's eyes were filled with shock, and he looked at Ender with great astonishment.
Now he somewhat understood why Ender would consider gifting him a top-tier set of Arcana treasures worth 2000 Arcana Treasure Points.
It turned out that there were as many as Six Xeon Arcana treasures, which were incredibly precious in the Original Universe!
With so many Arcana treasures, it was no wonder he didn't care much about the gain or loss of 2000 Arcana Treasure Points.
"Then I'll just wait three thousand epochs."
Darkness Master said softly, "Anyway, it will take me a lot of time to get out of the core area of Tilted Peak Realm."
"Phantom Blood."
Seeing that Darkness Master had no objections, Huge Axe Creator turned his gaze to Phantom Blood Master and said, "You are the 20th Universe Master of our Human Race."
"According to the rules of our Human Race, everyone who becomes a Universe Master can receive a treasure of equivalent value to a top-tier supreme weapon from the Human Race."
Huge Axe Creator smiled and asked, "Do you have any requirements for this?"
"I need a high-grade Domain-type Arcana treasure."
Phantom Blood Master stated his needs.
He already possessed top-tier supreme armor and an ordinary Soul-type Arcana treasure, and he would later receive an excellent high-grade flying palace Arcana treasure refined by Ender.
Therefore, what he lacked was a high-grade Domain-type Arcana treasure and a top-tier supreme weapon.
He had checked the Treasure Vault of the Race and knew that top-tier supreme weapons were relatively low in value. The cheapest set of top-tier claw-type supreme weapons required 190 Arcana Treasure Points for exchange.
If it were before, 190 Arcana Treasure Points would be a considerable sum, and even if he offered his useless Arcana treasures to the Human Race, he wouldn't be able to gather enough.
But on the way here, his teacher, Ice Summit Master, bestowed upon him 100 Arcana Treasure Points, which was enough for him to exchange for that set of top-tier claw-type supreme weapons.
It was no exaggeration to say that once all his treasures were in place, Phantom Blood Master, this newly promoted Universe Master, would be as wealthy as many Third-rank Universe Master!
If this were to be known, it would surely make many Pinnacle Second-rank Universe Master in the Original Universe feel envious, jealous, and hateful.
Because Phantom Blood Master's net worth upon becoming a Universe Master surpassed their countless years of accumulation!
And the Pinnacle of their endless years of accumulation was merely the beginning for a newly promoted Human Race Universe Master, so how could they not be envious, jealous, and hateful?
"This high-grade Domain-type Arcana treasure is of Time and Light attributes."
Huge Axe Creator quickly brought up a light screen and asked, "How do you feel about it?"
"Thank you, Huge Axe Creator."
Phantom Blood Master glanced at the description of the high-grade Domain Arcana treasure on the light screen and was very satisfied.
"Then it's settled. After the meeting, you can go to the Treasure Vault of the Race to collect it."
Huge Axe Creator nodded slightly and added, "Additionally, as a newly promoted Universe Master of the Human Race, you have one free opportunity to comprehend a Xeon Arcana treasure."
"However, there are only Six Xeon Arcana treasures in the Human Race, and they are all temporarily stored in the Treasure Vault of the Race by Void River, so if you want to comprehend them, you'll need to queue up."
"It's estimated that you'll have a chance to comprehend an Arcana treasure after thirteen thousand epochs."
Finally, Huge Axe Creator said softly, "If you wish to continue comprehending a Xeon Arcana treasure after your initial comprehension, you'll need to apply to the Human Race and pay 200 Arcana Treasure Points to re-enter the queue."
Phantom Blood Master listened attentively, then nodded and said, "Understood."
Although he didn't know what secrets the Arcana treasures held, he recalled how the secret patterns on top-tier Arcana treasures could give him inspiration for Breakthroughs.
He speculated that the secret patterns on the Arcana treasures must be incredibly mystical and profound, and would likely allow Powerhouses like Primal Chaos City Lord to further improve their strength.
"Phantom Blood, you've just become a Universe Master, so it's good to comprehend the Arcana treasure a bit later."
Dragon Walk Master smiled, "After thirteen thousand epochs, you will likely have created an ultimate Secret Technique.
"After comprehending the secret techniques and patterns on the Arcana treasure, you might gain inspiration to create the strongest secret technique, or even directly create a prototype of the strongest secret technique."
Phantom Blood Master listened and nodded thoughtfully.
On his way here, his teacher, Ice Summit Master, had already introduced him to the power divisions of Universe Master, which also made him aware of how important secret techniques were.
A newly promoted Universe Master like him, with a life gene level of only 100 times, would create secret techniques that were considered top-tier Secret Techniques for Universe Master, placing him at the bottom among Universe Master.
At that time, Youhou Master even joked, 'Void River could suppress you, a newly promoted Universe Master, even before he became a Universe Master.'
Primal Chaos City Lord reminded him, "Phantom Blood, you've just broken through to become a Universe Master. You still need to perfect your secret techniques and raise your life gene level. Do not leave the important areas of our Human Territory."
"Phantom Blood will Cultivate in the Creation Secret Realm."
Ender spoke at this moment, "The Creation Secret Realm has my human main body and a Clone with the combat power of a Sixth-rank Universe Master stationed there, making it incredibly safe."
"A sixth-tier combat power Clone?!"
"Comparable to a True God's combat power? You're not kidding, are you?"
"Void River, does your Clone have a Xeon Arcana treasure?!"
The Universe Master were quite shocked; they hadn't expected Ender's Clone to have sixth-tier combat power!
This also meant that the number of Arcana treasures Ender possessed far exceeded their expectations, probably as many as four or five!
In fact, the number of Arcana treasures Ender could use was as many as seven!
If he included the 'Dragon Awakening Spear,' which he would never use in the future, that would be eight!
Among them, his human main body had five Arcana treasures, practically armed to the teeth!
The Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone stationed in the Divine Kingdom had one Arcana treasure armor, which also counted as sixth-tier combat power.
The sub-tree long-term guarding the Creation Secret Realm had a Pinnacle Spirit Weapon Arcana treasure, armor-type Arcana treasure, top-tier flying palace-type Arcana treasure, high-grade Domain-type Arcana treasure, and Soul-type Arcana treasure, making it a fifth-tier combat power.
The sub-tree carried with him had an Arcana treasure Spirit Weapon, Pinnacle Arcana treasure armor, and flying palace-type Arcana treasure, as well as a top-tier Domain-type Arcana treasure, and was equipped with a high-grade Soul-type Arcana treasure, making it a solid sixth-tier combat power.
Currently, with these three Clones stationed in the Creation Secret Realm, even if a True God were to arrive, they would have to retreat in disarray.
"Besides his main combat Clone, Junior Brother also has a Clone with strength comparable to a True God?"
Phantom Blood Master was even more shocked, because Ender had only broken through a little over a thousand epochs earlier than him!
"That's right, my Clone has a Xeon Arcana treasure," Ender admitted with a nod.
The Universe Master looked at each other but said nothing more.
Ultimately, the Arcana treasures Ender obtained were acquired through his own strength; the Human Race contributed nothing.
And Huge Axe Creator, who gifted Ender a Pinnacle flying palace-type Arcana treasure, also received an axe-type Arcana treasure as a return gift.
"It's a good thing that Void River's Clone has sixth-tier combat power."
Peng Gong Master laughed, "In the future, if there's a conflict with other forces, our Human Race can deploy six or seven Sixth-rank Universe Master. That scene..."
"Haha, that scene will be magnificent!"
"More than magnificent, other forces will probably be scared away."
The other Universe Master also smiled, and some echoed his sentiments.
"Heh heh, when that moment truly arrives, why would we need to mobilize so many Sixth-rank Universe Master?"
Huge Axe Creator smiled, but his heart was filled with heroic spirit, "Just my single strike can suppress ninety percent of the forces in the Universe Ocean!"
After obtaining 'Divine Axe,' Huge Axe Creator considered his strength to be among the top tier in the Universe Ocean.
If he could comprehend a few more layers of the secret patterns on 'Divine Axe,' his strength would advance further, perhaps even rivaling the Divine Eye True Master of the Divine Eye Race!
At that time, he would make a name for himself and deter forces hostile to the Human Race!
"If you want to possess the strength of a Sixth-rank Universe Master, then work hard to comprehend the secret techniques and patterns on the Arcana treasure."
Huge Axe Creator stood up and said, "The welcome meeting for Phantom Blood is over. The meeting is now adjourned."
The words fell.
With a flash of white light, Huge Axe Creator's savage-like body disappeared from the throne.
"I should go too. I'll go back and continue comprehending the Arcana treasure."
"Time is precious; comprehending the Arcana treasure cannot be delayed."
Amidst their words, the Universe Master turned into white light and disappeared.
...
Virtual Universe, outside the palace above Myriad Creations Island.
Ender and Phantom Blood Master sat at a round stone table.
"From now on, this will be the gathering place for the Universe Master of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
Ender smiled at Phantom Blood Master across from him, "So we don't have to go to your palace or mine every time we meet."
"There should be a gathering place."
Phantom Blood Master said softly, "In the future, the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company lineage will be no less than the Virtual Universe Company and the Huge Axe Dojo."
After attending the Human Race's highest-level meeting and seeing that both the Virtual Universe Company and the Huge Axe Dojo had five Universe Master, he felt quite emotional.
If he and Ender hadn't left the Virtual Universe Company, then the Virtual Universe Company would have been the undisputed number one power in the Human Race!
Even now, with the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company split off from the Virtual Universe Company, it could still match the Huge Axe Dojo in the number of Universe Master.
"According to what Senior Martial Uncle Chaos implied, when our Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company produces more Universe Master in the future, they won't need to visit Ancestor anymore."
Phantom Blood Master said with a hint of emotion, "No matter what, our Disciples are still considered part of the Virtual Universe lineage.
"As time passes, after a long period, the Disciples we take in will grow up and will only consider themselves members of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
Ender chuckled, "Let them think whatever they want, as long as we don't forget."
Phantom Blood Master nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Senior Brother, now that you've become a Universe Master, are you interested in managing the company?"
Ender asked, "If you are, I'll hand over the company's authority to you."
"Let Venerable Bei Ming and Venerable Bloodwing continue to manage it."
Phantom Blood Master shook his head slightly, "I don't have the ability to create Clones, so it's difficult for me to manage company affairs with a divided mind.
"Currently, my most important task is to create secret techniques and raise my life gene level. Only then can I venture into the Original Universe."
"Then let Bei Ming and Bloodwing continue to manage it."
Ender said softly, "I also need to go into seclusion and Cultivate. If Bloodwing and Bei Ming have important matters to report, Senior Brother can arrange them as he sees fit."
"No problem," Phantom Blood Master nodded.
After their conversation, the two left the gathering place and began their respective secluded Cultivation.
...
Original Universe, Creation Secret Realm.
Within the Emerald Feather Light realm, inside the most majestic and magnificent palace.
Ender's human main body sat upon the throne, comprehending the secret techniques and patterns of the Spirit Weapon-type and armor-type Arcana treasures.
At the same time, a sub-tree was refining treasures within the Creation Secret Realm, fulfilling the commissions from the Human Race's Universe Master.
After the treasures were refined, he would notify the Human Race's Universe Master to come and collect them, and then proceed with his Cultivation and creation of secret techniques.
One hundred million years passed...
When Ender awoke, he saw an email from his Senior Brother, Phantom Blood Master.
