I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 598 Meeting the Original Ancestor

The Lord of Chaos City remained silent for a long time, his mind in turmoil.

While Chu Yang's breakthrough to the Universe Venerable realm is certainly cause for celebration, his strength... is simply too monstrous!

"It seems this transaction went much more smoothly than I expected..."

The Lord of Chaos City thought to himself, his gaze toward Chu Yang growing increasingly gratified. For humanity, the stronger Chu Yang was, the better.

"Senior brother, you should know that I possess four divine kingdoms. I also have another ability now: to reverse time and resurrect my deceased clansmen!"

Chu Yang smiled slightly and then waited quietly for the Chaos City Lord's reaction.

This news was significant enough to shock this pillar of the human race.

As expected, the Lord of Chaos City's face first showed a hint of disbelief, then wild joy, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Reversing time and space... resurrecting my people... this, this is...!"

He suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed intently on Chu Yang. "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely true!" Chu Yang nodded affirmatively.

The Lord of Chaos City took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited emotions.

He patted Chu Yang on the shoulder, his tone tinged with emotion: "Good! Good! Good! This is of extraordinary significance to our human race!"

After a pause, the Lord of Chaos City continued, "In every era, countless powerful beings have fallen among our human race. Since you possess this ability, I will entrust you with a portion of the resurrection mission."

Chu Yang chuckled inwardly, but outwardly replied respectfully, "I will obey your instructions, Senior Brother."

Before coming to Chaos City, Chu Yang had already tested it out. He made a Duter Zerg, who was invincible and had been crowned king, self-destruct, and then used this ability to successfully revive it.

As for the cost of resurrection, it only cost Chu Yang less than 1% of his divine body. He was already close to becoming a Universe Venerable. Even if the cost of resurrecting a Universe Venerable was greater than that of resurrecting a King-in-the-Way, it shouldn't be too far off.

"Your divine kingdom's methods are simply unheard of; even the entire cosmic ocean likely has no precedent for them!"

The Lord of Chaos City did not dwell on this topic too much. After all, the human race already had nineteen Universe Lords, all of whom had the means to resurrect others. One more Chu Yang would not make a difference, nor would one less Chu Yang make a difference.

He was more concerned about Chu Yang's potential.

If Chu Yang can break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, will his ability to reverse time and space advance even further? Will he be able to resurrect a powerhouse at the level of a cosmic overlord?

You should know that in the entire primordial universe, only the strongest beings in the universe can do this.

Even someone as powerful as the Lord of Chaos City couldn't resurrect the overlord of the universe.

Because the backlash from resurrecting the universe's overlord was too great, too great for him to bear!

Even the strongest human, the Giant Axe, couldn't keep its focus on the primordial universe forever, so cosmic overlords often fell and failed to be resurrected in time.

Thinking of this, the Chaos City Lord's gaze toward Chu Yang became even more ardent, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

He was already secretly planning how to better nurture Chu Yang and help him grow up as quickly as possible.

The Chaos City Lord changed the subject, asking, "You founded the Primordial School, and now more and more Kings are joining it. When do you plan to preach the Primordial Way again?"

"Soon!"

Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "The Dao of the Beginning is infinitely profound. I also need some time to sort out my understanding. Once I have sorted it out, I will inform my senior brother."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded with satisfaction. Chu Yang's answer was exactly what he expected. Such profound laws could not possibly be explained anytime and anywhere.

He then asked, "Now that your strength has greatly increased and you possess the power of a universe lord, according to the rules of our race, you can choose a top-tier treasure. Do you have any other needs? Please feel free to ask, and our race will do its utmost to fulfill them."

Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat; he had been worried about not having a chance to speak.

"I do have some things I'd like to trouble the clan with. I need a large amount of materials to refine supreme treasures! The more, the better! Also, I'm offering all my unused supreme treasures to the clan!"

Chu Yang took out the five high-grade treasures, as well as the Qiankun Disc, which could only be used three to five times before it would shatter.

This Qiankun Disc was originally intended by Chu Yang to be used in a trade with Yue Shan Overlord for the Thousandfold Waters, but the trade did not go through, so it is still in his possession.

The Lord of Chaos City was deeply shocked as he looked at the five high-grade treasures piled up in front of him, as well as the Qiankun Disc, which, although it could only be used three to five times, possessed an incomparably powerful aura.

Each of these treasures would be enough to make even the most powerful beings in the universe fight tooth and nail, yet Chu Yang took them out so casually. This magnanimity and breadth of mind are truly admirable.

"Are you sure you want to offer all these treasures to your clan in exchange for treasure points?" the Chaos City Lord asked, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

While offering treasures to the clan would grant a certain number of treasure points, the value would be discounted, making it a relatively disadvantageous move for Chu Yang in the long run.

Chu Yang smiled nonchalantly: "These things are not very useful to me. Rather than letting them gather dust here, I'd rather contribute them to the clan so they can play a greater role."

He paused, then added, "My cultivation mainly relies on the divine kingdom, so I don't have a great need for supreme treasures."

The Chaos City Lord nodded with satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, he collected the treasures and said, "Don't worry, the clan won't treat you unfairly. I'll arrange for someone to deliver the materials you need for refining the treasures as soon as possible—as many as you need! I'll make up for any shortfall in treasure points!"

Chu Yang was secretly delighted, but outwardly remained calm and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

The reason why the Lord of Chaos City did this was because of the Qiankun Disc. From this treasure, it is not difficult to see that Chu Yang now has a high level of skill in weapon crafting.

It should be noted that in the primordial universe, the most powerful treasure that the universe master known for crafting artifacts—the God of Craftsmen—could forge was merely a top-tier treasure.

And Chu Yang now is almost no worse than the God of Crafts!

Next, the two talked about the Yi Shi School. Chu Yang said that he would organize his insights on the Yi Shi Dao as soon as possible and preach again to help the strong members of the clan improve their strength.

After the conversation ended, Chu Yang took his leave.

Leaving Chaos City, Chu Yang didn't linger at all and went straight back to the headquarters of the One Beginning School at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

Today, this place has become an important branch independent of the Virtual Universe Company, with nearly ten people at the level of Universe Venerable.

Following King Tongnan, King Zhenyan, King Longyu, and others who were granted the title of King and became Venerables, six more Kings who had reached the limit of their title or were invincible in their title broke through to become Universe Venerables.

Even the true king's disciple, the Bloodthirsty King, successfully comprehended the Dao of Space and became a cosmic venerable.

Even his disciple became a cosmic venerable, which made True King Yan famous overnight.

In a quiet courtyard, Chu Yang sat cross-legged, his consciousness immersed in the vast ocean of cosmic laws.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Time, Space...

Countless mysteries of laws flowed, intertwined, and collided within his heart.

The way of the beginning is to integrate these different laws into one, forming a unique set of cosmic rules.

Chu Yang first reviewed the fusion of the Law of Metal and the Law of Time. The sharpness of metal and the flow of time seem unrelated, but in fact, they contain hidden mysteries.

The sharpness of gold lies in its variability, and time is also a manifestation of variability.

When the two are combined, the sharpness of gold becomes indestructible, while also being empowered by the power of time, allowing it to sever the past and the future.

Next is the fusion of the Law of Earth and the Law of Time.

The earth is thick and enduring, and time is eternal; both possess stable and unchanging characteristics.

When the laws of earth are integrated with the laws of time, the earth's defenses become impregnable, and with the added power of time, it can withstand all attacks from the past and future.

Then comes the fusion of the Law of Wood and the Law of Time.

The vitality of trees and the passage of time may seem contradictory, but they are actually complementary.

The vitality of a tree lies in its continuous growth, and time is also a manifestation of growth.

When the two are combined, the wood will be full of vitality, and at the same time, it will be blessed with the power of time, and can control the past and future of life.

Finally, there is the fusion of the laws of water and the laws of time.

Water is flexible and its time is unpredictable; both are characterized by their versatility.

When the laws of water are integrated with the laws of time, water attacks become unpredictable. Furthermore, with the added power of time, one can control the flow of water in the past and future.

These four principles of fusion form the foundation of Chu Yang's Yi Shi School.

Now, he has completely integrated these four laws of fusion, forming his own unique Path of Origin.

While organizing his insights, Chu Yang did not forget to collect materials for refining treasures.

Virtual Universe Company was extremely efficient; in just a few days, it delivered a massive amount of refining materials to Chu Yang's residence.

Various rare minerals, exotic plants, and cosmic crystals are piled up like mountains, and there are even several treasures containing the essence of the universe!

Clearly, this is the achievement of the Chaos City Lord!

Chu Yang opened his eyes, and the materials piled up in the courtyard emitted a faint, precious light.

These materials are enough for him to forge several treasures.

Just as he was about to begin collecting them, a familiar figure appeared in the courtyard.

"Senior Brother Chaos!" Chu Yang stood up to greet him.

The Lord of Chaos City smiled and nodded. With a wave of his hand, another pile of materials exuding a rich aura of origin appeared in the courtyard.

These materials are far more valuable than those previously sent by Virtual Universe Company!

"Junior brother, this batch of materials is enough to forge about twenty high-grade treasures, and even three sets of materials for forging top-grade treasures! This is all the resources I can mobilize!"

After setting down the materials, the Chaos City Lord said, "Your crafting skills are arguably the best among humans right now, and I look forward to you officially surpassing the God of Crafts!"

Chu Yang felt a warmth in his heart. He knew that the Lord of Chaos City must have put in a lot of effort to collect these materials.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

"Haha, there's no need for such formalities between us, fellow disciples."

The Lord of Chaos waved his hand and said, "Furthermore, the Giant Axe has returned to the Primordial Universe. Tomorrow, a summit meeting will be held to congratulate you on breaking through to the level of a Universe Lord!"

The Summit Meeting is attended by the nineteen most outstanding beings of the human race. Even if their true bodies are not in the original universe, they will arrange for an avatar or incarnation to attend.

"Summit? Founder of the Giant Axe?"

Chu Yang was slightly taken aback. Although he knew that the creator of the giant axe was the strongest human, he had never seen him in person.

During that battle in the outer realms, the Lord of Chaos City said that the creator of the giant axe had been secretly protecting Chu Yang, but Chu Yang had never seen the true form of the giant axe.

"That's right, Giant Axe values ​​you very much."

The Lord of Chaos City laughed and said, "Not only will all the top executives of my Virtual Universe Company be present at this meeting, but some other universe lords will also come to offer their congratulations. You'd better make some preparations."

"I understand, senior brother!" Chu Yang nodded.

"Also, Master wants to see you!"

"Teacher? Ancestor?" Chu Yang said subconsciously.

The Primal Ancestor was the founder of the Virtual Universe Company and the first strongest human in the universe. It was under his leadership that the human race became one of the top races. The second strongest human in the universe, the founder of the Giant Axe, was also taught by the Primal Ancestor.

"Yes, the teacher didn't die. He was suppressed by the primordial will of the universe. Otherwise, with him around, those three top races wouldn't dare to provoke us!"

Chu Yang also recalled the deeds of the Primordial Ancestor. Even in the Cosmic Sea, the Primordial Ancestor was one of the very top-tier individuals.

The Lord of Chaos sighed, "You've already met the other universe lords of our Virtual Universe Company, but you haven't met your teacher since you became his disciple! If your teacher knew your situation, he would probably be very happy!"

"Going to see the teacher? I'm actually a little nervous."

Chu Yang scratched his head. To be honest, even though he had been a disciple for so long, he had never even seen the original ancestor's face. Now that they were suddenly going to meet, he really didn't know what to say.

"Yes, the teacher has been paying attention to you."

The Lord of Chaos City seemed to sense Chu Yang's nervousness: "Don't worry, my teacher is gentle by nature, it's just..."

The Lord of Chaos City paused, a hint of indescribable sorrow in his voice, "It's just that being suppressed for so long makes it difficult for him to care about many things!"

Chu Yang remained silent. He knew the secret of the original ancestor's suppression and felt deep respect and sympathy for this pioneer of humanity.

I will let you know the specific time to meet with the teacher later.

The Lord of Chaos patted Chu Yang on the shoulder: "Prepare well for tomorrow's summit meeting. It's a rare opportunity to show your face. You might need to demonstrate your strength then. Don't embarrass our Virtual Universe Company."

Of course, I have already witnessed your strength and aura, and there are no problems.

At that time, the clan will also give you a top-tier treasure; you can think about which type of treasure you need.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I understand," Chu Yang replied with a smile.

The Lord of Chaos City left. Looking in the direction where he disappeared, Chu Yang was filled with respect. This senior brother had sacrificed so much for the human race, and his kindness to him was as heavy as a mountain.

This time, he brought out many valuable materials for him, and most importantly, he didn't make Chu Yang pay any price.

Even after Chu Yang refined the treasure, they never mentioned whether or not to contribute it to the clan, completely adopting an attitude of giving without expecting anything in return.

When the Chaos City Lord last went to the Ancestral Mystic Realm to trade the water-elemental treasure 'Thousandfold Waters' with the Yue Mountain Overlord, although he didn't always protect him, he left a token. His strongest avatar even returned from the cosmic sea, ready to be teleported there by his divine kingdom at any time. (End of Chapter)
