“Your choices have been sent out. Currently, out of the 52 Cosmic Chaos Tablet comprehension chambers, 12 are occupied, and the other 40 are empty. Now, choose from the 40 Cosmic Chaos Tablet names I'm about to call out and proceed to comprehend them,” the Black-Clothed Messenger said, then listed the names of the 40 Cosmic Chaos Tablets.
“Go directly to the leftmost entrance ahead; you will be assigned to the corresponding chambers. Go now,” he finished, then turned to the remaining 100-plus people and said, “The chaos tablet you chose is currently being comprehended. You will need to wait for the current comprehension to finish. You will need to wait here for three days.”
The chaos tablets chosen by Qin Hao, Luo Feng, Rong Jun, and others were among them. The few of them gathered together, waiting at the side.
“The Primal Universe is much more comfortable than the Original Universe.”
“The reason you feel so comfortable is this!” The middle-aged man pointed to the chaotic airflow floating nearby. “This, we call ‘chaos qi.’ Unlike the various elemental cosmic energies in the Original Universe, and somewhat different from the singular, mixed cosmic origin energy, chaos qi is a peculiar power that nurtures all things.”
As Qin Hao listened, all his pores and acupoints opened, and the surrounding chaos qi was rapidly absorbed into his body. The intense comfort made Qin Hao feel as if his body was being re-nurtured, and his Congenital Dao Body was growing involuntarily.
“Chaos qi might be a turning point for stepping into the Ten Great Laws Fusion,” Qin Hao constantly thought, while his palm swept through the chaos qi, feeling its changes and wonders.
The Primal Universe is the initial process of cosmic evolution, and also when laws are most clearly manifested. At the same time, the fusion of laws and various energies is also a characteristic of the Primal Universe.
Within the chaos qi at his fingertips, Qin Hao felt a power that was both complex and pure, with the forces of various laws interwoven.
Luo Feng and the others watched Qin Hao’s actions, and their voices involuntarily became much softer.
“He can comprehend just like that? What kind of genius is this?” Rong Jun exclaimed from the side.
“I feel like a useless person,” Wu Ka also said from the side.
“You’ll get used to it,” Luo Feng finally said helplessly. He was very clear about Qin Hao’s talent and strength. Since becoming a Quasi-warrior, Qin Hao’s growth had been extremely rapid. He could originally still see his back, but now even his back was becoming increasingly blurry.
“Withersall!!!”
Accompanied by the sound, immense suppressive power caused Qin Hao to awaken from his comprehension. Looking up at the sky above Primordial Chaos City, a bull-headed man in bronze battle armor, wielding a Great Axe, raised his Great Axe and cleaved towards another super existence that had transformed into lightning.
“These two are the two unlucky fellows from the original work,” Qin Hao didn’t feel annoyed. He looked at the two in the sky; they were indeed the two who were punished by the Primordial Chaos City Lord in the original work.
As he thought, a cold snort filled with anger echoed throughout the Primal Universe, and the entire world darkened. The cosmic laws flowing in the sky ceased, and a hand formed from chaotic airflow condensed and directly struck down. The two super strong ones were instantly pulverized.
They re-condensed, both looking very weak, and were taken away by the Primordial Chaos City law enforcement team that had arrived.
Everything that happened so quickly left the remaining 100-plus people deeply shocked; they were pulverized yet still alive. Moreover, that powerful strike far exceeded their imagination.
“It was the Primordial Chaos City Lord who acted, a peak strong one of the human race, and also the creator of the Cosmic Chaos Tablet,” Gu’s voice sounded in Qin Hao’s ear. “Now that you have chosen the Cosmic Chaos Tablet, your talent will surely attract the attention of the higher-ups. If you can become a disciple of the Primordial Chaos City Lord, you can go even further.”
With that, Gu’s voice gradually weakened and faded. Gu’s cultivation of Qin Hao had always been based on Qin Hao’s choices, devising methods more suitable for him, entirely centered on Qin Hao. He also understood that geniuses have their own paths and choices, and it is difficult to surpass by following someone else’s path.
Back then, Source Star King also chose to walk his own path, even in difficult and unknown circumstances.
Three days passed quickly. Over a hundred people successively went to comprehend the chaos tablet they had chosen. Qin Hao and Bolan, as the only two who chose the Cosmic Chaos Tablet in this Genius Battle, were led by the Black-Clothed Messenger into a wide corridor. On both sides of the corridor were massive bronze doors, each approximately 160 meters long and 120 meters high, with ancient inscriptions on them.
In front of each door stood a benevolent-looking old man.
“Kandeli, sir.”
“Are these two the first and second from this Genius Battle?”
“Yes.”
“Not bad, much stronger than the previous batch. Wait a few more minutes for this group to come out, then you can go in to comprehend. Remember, you only have seven days.”
“Yes, Kandeli, sir,” Qin Hao and Bolan respectfully said, standing to the side. The others waited together for the previous batch of comprehenders to finish.
“Rumble!” The massive bronze door slowly opened. Inside, misty chaotic airflow obscured the view, making it impossible to see the interior.
“Come out now!” Kandeli shouted into the door, his voice amplifying. Figures quickly emerged one by one from within the bronze door.
“Alright, you may enter.”
Qin Hao and Bolan followed the crowd into the bronze door. The cultivation chamber was enormous, with a gigantic stone tablet standing in the center, surrounded by swirling chaotic airflow.
In the first image, 18 stars moved along a fantastical trajectory.
In the second image, 72 stars intertwined, forming a nebula.
In the third image, 216 stars formed a massive galaxy.
The fourth image showed a vast starfield formed by nine great galaxies.
The fifth image was a star district formed by countless starfields.
The sixth image showed stars being swallowed by a black hole.
The seventh image was a vast white hole space.
The eighth image showed a black hole and a white hole entangled.
The ninth image was a newborn universe.
The tenth image only had scattered stipples inscribed, and was incomplete.
Qin Hao looked at the stone tablet before him, and insights into Space Law and Time Law continuously arose in his mind. He no longer looked at the other images, directly focusing on the first image and entering a state of cultivation.
The Cosmic Chaos Tablet directly points to Time Law and Space Law, and is also the path closest to the Universe Strongest. The fusion of Time and Space Laws will lead directly to the strongest. However, the difficulty of fusing Time Law and Space Law is far greater than others; even the Primordial Chaos City Lord has not fully walked this path.
In the first image, Qin Hao looked at the 18 stars in the image. Nine of them represented the essence of Space Law, which Qin Hao was already very familiar with. The other nine represented the essence of Time Law, which Qin Hao had only just begun to touch upon.
Immersed in the comprehension of the essence of Time Law, Qin Hao’s doubts about its essence were quickly resolved. The fifth essence of Time Law was quickly comprehended, on the second day the sixth essence of Time Law was also comprehended, on the third day the seventh essence of Time Law was analyzed, on the fourth and fifth days, the eighth essence of Time Law was also easily comprehended. On the seventh day, Qin Hao had just comprehended the ninth essence of Time Law and was about to move on to comprehending the second image when—
“Come out!”
A loud voice echoed in his ears, waking Qin Hao from his state of comprehension.
