Chaos City.

Zhou Ze returned to the same place and instantly appeared in his own residence.

Ordinary people naturally cannot teleport within the City Lord's Mansion. Even the Lord of the Universe would not teleport to show respect to the Lord of Chaos City. However, Zhou Ze is different. He lives in the City Lord's Mansion, and as long as he is in his own residence, he can teleport at will.

Having obtained the treasure, Zhou Ze had already thought things through on his way back.

Without hesitation, he went directly to the inner palace and arrived at the Chaos Ruins. He slowly said, "Senior Chaos, I have something important to tell you."

The entire primordial universe was under the control of the Chaos City Lord. It could be said that the moment Zhou Ze returned, the Chaos City Lord discovered his existence. If he wanted to, the Heart of Time in Zhou Ze's World Ring could not hide it from him. Of course, he would not do so.

"Come in." The voice of the Chaos City Lord appeared in Zhou Ze's ear.

As soon as Zhou Ze stepped in, he found himself in a space littered with corpses. The Chaos City Lord, clad in dark red battle armor, stood there motionless, his aura naturally emanating from him, sending chills down one's spine.

Upon seeing Zhou Ze approach, the Lord of Chaos City opened his eyes, which held the vastness of the universe, utterly serene, yet tinged with a hint of doubt: "Zhou Ze, you're back so soon?"

Zhou Ze just took a complete set of treasures from him, and he's back in less than a day. I wonder what happened.

"Ahem—Senior, it's like this, I was lucky enough to obtain the core material of a top-tier primordial treasure."

Zhou Ze didn't waste any time and directly took out the Heart of Time from the World Ring.

The Chaos City Lord was slightly taken aback: "Where did you get such a treasure?"

Zhou Ze explained, "It's on Soulfall Star in the Anchao Secret Realm. Back then, the Extreme Spirit King asked me to guide his grandson, whose lifespan was nearing its end and who had been stuck at the peak of the Realm Lord level. In return, he exchanged information about a powerful treasure with me. I went to Soulfall Star to retrieve the treasure, but I unexpectedly discovered the aura of the Heart of Time—"

The Chaos City Lord looked at Zhou Ze with slight excitement and laughed, "You're incredibly lucky to have found such a treasure in such a small place! This is a core material for crafting top-tier primordial treasures!"

"A top-tier primordial treasure—this is far more valuable than most peak-level treasures, or rather, it's not just a matter of simple value. It possesses strategic value and is the most prized possession of any race!"

The Chaos City Lord pondered for a moment and said, "I can make the decision; I'll give you 5000 Treasure Points!"

5000 Treasure Points?

Wow, there are so many.

Zhou Ze thought to himself.

This is enough to buy a top-tier realm-class artifact, with plenty left over.

Seeing Zhou Ze remain silent, the Chaos City Lord sighed, "Zhou Ze, the reason our race is so powerful is because of the contributions of countless strong individuals!"

"In our human race, there are two types of people: those who enjoy resources and those who contribute resources."

"All ordinary humans and immortal gods are voluntary beneficiaries. Ordinary humans can enjoy peace and stability, while those immortal gods who excel can receive guidance and instruction from super-powerful beings, and even be bestowed with treasures. They are all beneficiaries of resources!"

"But once you step into the ranks of the universe's strongest beings and become a Venerable, you will become the backbone of your race."

"The human race needs the contributions of you truly strong individuals! Only through your contributions can billions of humans, geniuses throughout history, and countless immortal resources be enjoyed."

"To be honest, for an individual, your Heart of Time is less valuable than a top-tier domain-type, soul-type, or flying palace treasure. However, for the race, it is more important than a peak domain-type, soul-type, or flying palace treasure!"

"After all, one is for personal use, while the other is related to the entire race. Once a top-tier treasure that can be used continuously is possessed, it will be much easier for the Lord of the Universe or even the Founder of the Giant Axe to resurrect the Immortals and Venerables. Even if a cosmic overlord is resurrected, not too many resources will be lost."

"Even if my clone perishes, I can recover quickly. After all, this is a treasure that can increase recovery speed by 100,000 times. With a little more treasure, I can restore my combat power in a very short time."

"In this way, many powerful members of our race, from the Lord of the Universe to the Venerable Ones, and those with avatars, can boldly venture out and make greater contributions to the race—"

"well--"

The Lord of Chaos City spoke at length, saying that he wouldn't mind giving Zhou Ze more, but no matter how many treasure points he had, Zhou Ze couldn't use them now. He was also worried that Zhou Ze would recklessly exchange them for top-tier treasures, and if he took them out like that, it would be like a child carrying treasures and parading them around in the street, which would be very dangerous.

He also knew Zhou Ze's background best, knew that Zhou Ze was still very young, and given his current status and position, coupled with the need to hide his identity, only he could tell him these things.

Zhou Ze looked at the Chaos City Lord somewhat awkwardly. After repeatedly "brainwashing" himself, he weakly said, "Senior, I want to use it myself—"

The Chaos City Lord's expression froze: "Didn't you say you couldn't communicate with the origin of the universe? How will you use it?"

Zhou Ze explained, "I can't use it, but others can. I can capture a few servants and give them to use, while I absorb the cosmic energy they bring down."

The Chaos City Lord frowned: "Your idea is good, but the energy absorbed from the ocean of laws all bears personal imprints. You have to erase the imprints of others before you can make it your own. This is not worth the effort and will greatly reduce the efficiency of energy conversion."

Zhou Ze explained, "That depends on my methods with the soul. I have an exceptional talent for the soul, and I'm confident I can create a secret technique to quickly erase soul imprints. Moreover, the target is my slave, so they won't resist at all—"

The Chaos City Lord suddenly changed the subject: "You seem to be lacking energy?"

Zhou Ze didn't hide anything: "I'm severely lacking. No matter how much energy I have, it's never enough. I convert cosmic energy into my divine power through the Nirvana Pearl. Right now, I only have a hundred million times the power of a World Lord, which is dozens of times away from my limit."

"And there are other aspects that consume even more energy—"

The Lord of Chaos City pondered without speaking.

Zhou Ze stated directly, "If I have enough energy, I will soon become the master of the universe. I have already comprehended the laws of time and space."

The Lord of Chaos City's eyes widened suddenly: "Really or fake?"

Even the usually calm and collected Lord of Chaos City couldn't remain composed. It wasn't that he wasn't calm enough, but rather that Zhou Ze was too outrageous. To him, this was even more surprising than Zhou Ze's guidance ability.

Because no matter how extraordinary Zhou Ze's coaching abilities were, he could only ever coach those below the rank of King.

But he was surprised to hear that Zhou Ze had so quickly comprehended the laws of time and space, which was the most important condition for becoming the master of the universe, without exception.

"Look—"

Right in front of the Chaos City Lord, Zhou Ze began to manipulate strands of law, forming two perfect secret patterns in the air.
