The Time-Space Secret Realm, under Qin Hao's manipulation, was gradually becoming more stable, and the entire Secret Realm was slowly evolving from its initial embryonic form into a relatively mature one. However, it was only relatively mature; its true internal perfection would still require continuous time.
Qin Hao did not intend to complete these tasks himself. His divine power vibrated, and a mass of divine power split from his body, forming a divine power doppelganger.
After the divine power doppelganger was formed, Qin Hao produced several treasures. Palace, attack, defense, domain, and a large number of formation flags were directly handed to the divine power doppelganger. These treasures were all refined by Qin Hao, but they were only ordinary treasures. For the divine power doppelganger, they merely served to extend the time it could hold out in combat.
Although they were just ordinary treasures, they were still very precious. The Nine Nether Lord, who was beside him, saw Qin Hao pull out treasures as if they were worthless and couldn't help but marvel at the wealth of this human Star Palace Master.
To be able to give so many treasures to a divine power doppelganger, the number and quality of treasures he himself possessed were imaginable. Furthermore, the Three Ancestral Gods specifically invited him to join the Elder God Cult, which must have come with certain benefits, very likely a treasure, and at the very least, a top-tier treasure.
After the divine power doppelganger entered the Time-Space Secret Realm, it began to continuously process the laws within the Secret Realm, guiding the integration of laws with space and time, and sorting out everything in the entire area. The originally turbulent dangerous lands, in Qin Hao's hands, transformed into excellent training grounds.
However, Qin Hao did not completely pacify everything. Instead, he chose to retain a portion as a trial ground for cultivators. After all, an overly comfortable cultivation environment would instead make cultivators lazy. Only in danger and between life and death could potential be stimulated.
Watching the divine power doppelganger's actions, Qin Hao and the Nine Nether Lord began conversing directly in the void. The content of their discussion was more about cultivation exchanges and the Nine Nether Lord's in-depth understanding of the Elder God Cult.
As a Guardian Beast God of the Elder God Cult, the Nine Nether Lord knew many secrets within the Elder God Cult, as well as special places within the Zu Shen Mystic Realm. There were even some exchanges about matters in the Primordial Universe and the Universe Sea.
Qin Hao spoke more about cultivation, the comprehension of laws, and even some insights into the Universe Strongest realm. Although he had not yet become a Universe Lord, whether from the information granted by the Original Universe Will or from check-in rewards, Qin Hao's understanding of the Universe Strongest, which is the True God realm, surpassed that of ordinary people.
During their conversation, the Nine Nether Lord became even more curious about the young man's origins. Although he was human and a disciple of Primordial Chaos City Lord, even the human race's understanding of the True God realm was not so clear.
If it were truly that clear, a group of Universe Strongest would have emerged within the human race. After all, breakthroughs to True God in the Primordial Universe were mostly accidental, with no predetermined path. Now, in Qin Hao's hands, the Nine Nether Lord seemed to have found a different path.
"In a while, a friend of mine, who is also my junior brother, will likely visit the Nine Serenity Spacetime. At that time, he might do something slightly out of line. I would trouble the Nine Nether Lord to show mercy then," Qin Hao said to the Nine Nether Lord after some time of exchange.
The reason for telling the Nine Nether Lord now was to pave the way for Luo Feng. After all, the Nine Nether Sea doppelganger was very important for Luo Feng's future cultivation. In the original work, Luo Feng also successfully obtained the Nine Nether Sea's water and nurtured his doppelganger.
Now, what he was doing was merely reducing the risk involved.
"No problem. You can also come to the Nine Serenity Spacetime when you have time! Our discussion for today ends here; I shall take my leave!" As soon as he finished speaking, the Nine Nether Lord's figure transformed into seawater, directly breaking through space-time and departing.
With the Nine Nether Lord gone, Qin Hao also had no intention of staying longer in the Zu Shen Mystic Realm. For the current Time-Space Secret Realm, leaving a divine power doppelganger was sufficient. As for the future construction of the Secret Realm, it could be directly handed over to some Champion and Venerable-Level cultivators of the human race to carry out, which could also be considered the fees they paid for cultivating here.
Having made his decision, Qin Hao did not intend to linger. His divine power spread out, preparing to directly teleport back to Zijing Island via his Divine Kingdom, see Luo Feng again, and then return to the Star Palace.
"Bang!"
Just as the divine power teleportation was about to complete, a powerful divine power tore through space-time and directly attacked Qin Hao. The time and space around Qin Hao's body were instantly completely frozen, and the powerful divine power directly pushed Qin Hao back several million kilometers before he barely managed to stop his retreat.
"Universe Strongest!" Feeling the powerful divine power that struck him, he also had a guess about the attacker's identity. To be so close to him without being discovered, only a Universe Strongest could achieve that.
But how could a Universe Strongest do such a thing? Facing a Universe Lord, they still chose to attack from the shadows.
Thinking this, Qin Hao began to scrutinize the surrounding space. The surrounding space-time was controlled by a powerful force. Even as a Universe Lord, Qin Hao could only barely control the space-time in his immediate vicinity to ensure his own free movement.
In such a passive situation, Qin Hao understood even more clearly that the attacker came prepared, and the surroundings were even enhanced by a domain-type treasure. After all, when he fought the Dream Monster Ancestor, Qin Hao did not feel such pressure. Now, this hidden strong individual had a relatively clear understanding of his strength.
They might even be very familiar with his strength and have corresponding countermeasures for the methods he displayed.
"It seems this was premeditated. I wonder if the Monster Race invited a Universe Strongest. However, the Monster Race probably wouldn't want to pay such a high price. It's highly likely to be a conspiracy of the three races: Monster Race, Insect Race, and Automaton Race," Qin Hao quickly made a judgment in his mind.
After understanding all this, Qin Hao no longer held anything back. His divine power surged out, and his divine body began to rapidly expand. In an instant, a colossal divine body, tens of thousands of kilometers tall, appeared in the universe.
The massive divine body and powerful divine power instantly shattered the surrounding space-time Lockdown. At the same time, a colossal Time-Space Grinding Disc appeared in Qin Hao's hand, directly attacking a position in the void.
After the Time-Space Grinding Disc left his hand, it began to rapidly expand, and in an instant, it had formed a massive grinding disc covering an area of several million kilometers around.
