Chapter 249 Clues to the Authority of Creation, Special Talents and Secret Techniques (4 Updates)

The Great Axe Universe, the Core Region.

The founder of the giant axe has long since left to explore the cosmic sea.

As one of the few strongest beings in the universe without a 'supreme treasure', the Giant Axe Founder would venture into the universe whenever he had time, attempting to find a supreme treasure to enhance his strength.

At his level, it becomes an ultimate treasure, capable of further enhancing his strength.

If it is a supreme treasure with a high degree of compatibility, it can even greatly enhance the strength of the Giant Axe Founder, approaching the invincible state of the Primordial Ancestor when he suppressed the entire universe sea.

Of course, that requires extremely good luck.

Such supreme treasures are extremely rare, even in the vast universe, and require an exceptionally high degree of compatibility with one's own being, making them incredibly precious.

The founder of the giant axe only hoped to obtain one supreme treasure at random.

As long as it's not a 'psychic weapon' that's completely useless to him, it can improve his strength to some extent.

However, although the creator of the giant axe himself has left, his divine power avatar remains in the miniature universe.

Of course, even if the strongest being in the universe is not present, they can still generate an avatar from the origin of their own miniature universe.

From the moment the mini-universe was successfully created, a portion of the consciousness of the strongest being in the universe was permanently merged with the origin of the mini-universe.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that the miniature universe is an alternative 'clone' of the strongest being in the universe.

However, this clone cannot move or fight enemies unless the enemy enters the miniature universe, in which case the miniature universe's essence can be used to suppress and kill it.

The core of a miniature universe.

Jiang Chen came to pay his respects to the incarnation of the founder of the Giant Axe.

"Teacher." Jiang Chen bowed respectfully.

"Jiang Chen." The founder of the Giant Axe looked at his disciple and always felt that he couldn't see through him.

In the entire primordial universe, there were very few things that the creator of the giant axe felt he could not 'see through'.

Original Ancestor, Mountain Dweller, Original Will.

The fact that a realm lord like Jiang Chen is mixed in with this always feels a bit off.

Shaking his head, the founder of the giant axe banished the chaotic thoughts from his mind and asked, "Is something the matter?"

"This disciple is preparing to break through to immortality, but I am still missing one thing, and I would like to ask my teacher for guidance."

Jiang Chen cut to the chase, stating his purpose: "Does the teacher know how to obtain the gifts of the primordial universe and gain 'authority'?"

"Authority?" The founder of the giant axe hesitated for a moment, not answering immediately, but asking, "Do you know what 'authority' is?"

“I know a little.” Jiang Chen nodded and said, “The Lord of the Universe controls and reverses time and space, and the strongest beings in the universe have the power to make their words law. These are all ‘authorities’ bestowed by the universe.”

After a slight pause, Jiang Chen continued, "However, the authority that this disciple needs is not either of these two, but rather the authority of 'Creation'."

"The creation..." The founder of the giant axe recalled that Jiang Chen had once asked this question.

However, when asked what the 'authority of creation' was, the founder of the giant axe said he didn't know.

I wasn't lying to Jiang Chen; I genuinely didn't know.

It was just a name, without any clues, so the founder of the Giant Axe naturally couldn't guess what Jiang Chen was looking for.

But now that Jiang Chen has mentioned the 'Authority of Creation' and its connection to the primordial will of the universe, the founder of the giant axe immediately has many speculations.

"Does the teacher know?" Jiang Chen asked immediately upon seeing the expression on the founder of the giant axe.

“I have some guesses.” The Giant Axe Founder nodded and said, “Strictly speaking, from the strongest being in the universe creating a small universe to a world lord opening up a world lord's world, all of these can be considered as possessing the power of ‘creation’ under the blessing of the primordial will. But the ‘authority of creation’ you are looking for should be unrelated to this.”

After a pause, the Giant Axe Founder continued, "In the incredibly ancient past, there once existed a special life form, a Universe Master, who possessed a unique innate technique called 'World Bloom.' Once activated, it could create a vast world out of thin air. I suspect that this technique might be related to what you are looking for."

"'World Blossoms'?" Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Teacher, do you have more information? Which race does that Lord of the Universe belong to?"

If we can find the other party and witness the secret technique of 'World Blossom', we might be able to determine whether it is related to 'Creation Authority'.

As for how to obtain this ability after confirming this, Jiang Chen still has no clue.

In the universe, there has never been a case of a natural talent or secret technique being stripped away or stolen.

At least at the level of the primordial universe, this is impossible.

"That cosmic ruler was named 'Creator,' a lone wolf who belonged to no faction, and he has long since perished in the cosmic sea." The Giant Axe Founder shook his head, indicating that finding him was simply impossible.

Where can you find a cosmic ruler who has been dead for countless years?

"However, it is said that after the 'Creator Lord' broke through to the Universe Lord level, before he could elevate his genes to perfection, he visited the Ancestral God Cult. Only after that did he obtain the innate secret technique 'World Bloom'." The Giant Axe Founder added, "Elevating one's genetic level to 10081 times the perfect gene level will be bestowed by the will of the universe's origin, granting a top-tier 'innate secret technique.' However, normally, apart from a very few special life forms, those who can achieve 10081 times the perfect gene level are all Universe Lords. Reaching this level before becoming a Universe Lord is incredibly difficult."

Jiang Chen nodded.

The difficulty of advancing to the gene level does indeed increase progressively.

Within a hundred times, it's easy to improve.

A hundredfold or more improvement would require a considerable price to pay.

The closer one gets to 10081 times the 'perfect gene,' the greater the cost required to double the gene's quality.

Apart from a few special life forms that are born powerful, there are very few beings in the entire primordial universe who can elevate their genetic level to perfection before the Lord of the Universe.

Moreover, even if one reaches the level of perfect genes and receives the 'talent secret technique' bestowed by the original will, it is still random.

For example, Luo Feng's "I am the universe" in the original work is a very powerful combat-type talent technique.

However, many powerful individuals also obtain auxiliary talent techniques that do not significantly improve their combat abilities.

Judging from the implication in the words of the Giant Axe Founder, it seems that the 'Creator' was able to obtain the innate secret technique 'World Blossom' not entirely by luck.

The Ancestral God Cult, or rather the original will of the primordial universe, has a way of specifying what kind of innate secret techniques one can acquire.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at the founder of the giant axe.

The Giant Axe Founder nodded and said, "Although neither the Creator nor the Ancestral God Cult has acknowledged it, many forces in the universe suspect that his acquisition of the 'World Blossom' talent technique is closely related to the Ancestral God Cult."

"In that case, we'll have to make contact with the Ancestral God Cult..." Jiang Chen pondered.

If one could truly obtain the "Authority of Creation" through the "Secret Technique of Talent," it would be a viable way out.

Reaching perfect genes is an impossible task for others, but for Jiang Chen, it's as simple as having enough skill points to exchange for a batch of skills that boost attributes.

As for the high cost of skill points, that's not a major issue.

At worst, I can just go into seclusion again.

If this path can really succeed, it will be worth it even if it costs tens or even hundreds of millions of expertise points.

Moreover, upgrading to 10081 times the perfect genes, without considering the potential for even higher limits in the future, wouldn't actually cost that much.

However, whether this path is viable still needs further verification.

“If you have any ideas about the Ancestral God Cult, you can apply to the clan for Beast God Inheritance Tokens.” The Giant Axe Founder said, “With your talent, the clan can give you the other seven of the eight Beast God Tokens, except for the ‘Wind and Time Beast God Tokens’ which are currently out of stock.”

As he spoke, the founder of the giant axe added, "The Ancestral God Sect is undoubtedly the strongest in the primordial universe. If you really need to obtain anything from the Ancestral God Sect, it is best to do so through trade."

The Ancestral God Sect does not contend for territory or seize profits.

However, due to the favoritism of the original will, it still became the undisputed strongest force in the original universe.

The addition of numerous special life forms and small groups has made the Ancestral God Cult a formidable force.

But what's most terrifying is the influence of the Ancestral God Cult.

Many of the powerful figures within the Ancestral God Sect actually come from various ethnic groups.

For example, many humans have joined the Ancestral God Cult.

The two are not in conflict.

The Ancestral God Cult only protects the interests of the original will of the primordial universe and will not compete with other races for territory or land. If there are any special missions, members of the Ancestral God Cult also have the right to refuse the missions and will not harm the interests of their own races. Therefore, the major races allow the Ancestral God Cult to recruit the strong members of their races.

Of course, this is also because the Ancestral God Sect is too powerful, which is why all the major races have tacitly accepted this matter.

The founder of the giant axe thought for a moment and then gave Jiang Chen another suggestion: "The Ancestral Tree is the guardian deity of the Ancestral God Sect. If you want to make a deal with the Ancestral God Sect, you can have him act as your representative."

The 'World Tree Avatar' of the Venerable Ancestor Tree comes from the World Tree within the Ancestor God Sect.

It's perfectly normal for it to have some connection with the Ancestral God Cult.

Of course, he is not the current 'Guardian General', but a 'Candidate General'. Only if the current General of the same system as him dies will it be possible for Venerable Zushu or another candidate General to take over.

However, generally speaking, as long as one is strong enough, regardless of whether they have obtained the title of God General, they are usually called that.

Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully and said, "This disciple will go to see Venerable Ancestral Tree later."

The Venerable Ancestor Tree has a close relationship with the Ancestral God Sect, so we could try to ask them for help.

However, getting help from a powerhouse of the level of Venerable Ancestral Tree is no easy task.

At the very least, sufficient benefits must be offered.

The human race truly values ​​Jiang Chen highly, and the unique skills of a group of universe masters and top universe overlords are all passed on to Jiang Chen free of charge.

The Venerable Zushu was one of them.

But this doesn't mean that Jiang Chen can order these powerful individuals around at will.

Basic manners should still be observed.

Jiang Chen would never do something like wanting others to do things without paying them enough.

However, the Ancestral Tree Venerable is a top-tier cosmic overlord, whose status is equivalent to that of a cosmic master.

If you want to persuade the other party, ordinary treasures are not enough.

We need to bring out at least one top-tier treasure.

Even the worst top-tier treasure requires hundreds of treasure points.

If it were a top-tier treasure like the Thousand Treasures River, its value would be over several thousand treasure points.

Without considering applicability or suitability, just in terms of value alone, to match the status and position of the Ancestral Tree Venerable, Jiang Chen estimated that he would need to offer at least a thousand Treasure Points.

After all, this matter involves the Ancestral God Cult, and one wrong move could lead to huge trouble.

"We need to step up our efforts on the battlefield outside the region..." Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

To obtain thousands of treasure points, the only way is through the extraterritorial battlefield, killing the enemy faction's Cosmic Venerables and seizing their treasures.

Most cosmic venerables use precious treasures, or ordinary supreme treasures that are of slightly lower quality.

However, those at the level of high-ranking Venerables and cosmic overlords often possess considerable treasures.

Killing over a hundred high-level Venerables or dozens of cosmic overlords, as long as luck isn't too bad, accumulating over a thousand Treasure Points isn't difficult.

"You seek this 'authority of creation,' is it related to the breakthrough method in your lineage?" the Giant Axe Founder suddenly asked.

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "If I can obtain the 'Authority of Creation,' my foundation will be even stronger after my breakthrough."

Jiang Chen did not mention that the 'Authority of Creation' was a necessary condition for his breakthrough.

There's absolutely no way to explain it.

Just like when I broke through to the realm master level before, I can just pretend to be pursuing a 'perfect breakthrough' to get by.

"Don't act rashly for now. This matter doesn't only have the Ancestral God Sect as a path." The Giant Axe Founder looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Besides the 'Creator Lord,' there are a few others who might be related to the 'Creation Authority' you mentioned. I'll gather some information for you first. It won't be too late to make plans after we have definite news."

"Thank you, teacher." Jiang Chen did not refuse.

The creator of the giant axe knew far more about the secrets of some ancient times in the universe than he did.

Asking the founder of Giant Axe to help investigate first is indeed the best option.

As for gratitude, I'll keep it in my heart.

"Oh, right." Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something and asked, "Teacher, have you been adventuring in the Cosmic Sea?"

"It's in the Cosmic Sea." The Giant Axe Founder looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "You want your master to return?"

“No.” Jiang Chen shook his head, then immediately said, “Teacher, never go deep into the Qingfeng Realm, especially do not approach the ‘Dark Land.’ Once you go to the ‘Dark Land,’ you will surely die, and even getting close is extremely risky.”

After a pause, Jiang Chen continued, "Teacher, please don't ask how I know. I can't tell you."

"Deep within the Peak Realm, in a dark place? Alright, I understand. I won't go there." The Giant Axe Founder gave Jiang Chen a deep look.

If he remembered correctly, he had never told his disciple about the Cosmic Sea.

Most of the information about the Cosmic Sea in the group's database was not made available to Jiang Chen.

How did my disciple know about the Peak Realm and the Dark Land?

The founder of the giant axe's curiosity only surfaced for a moment before being immediately suppressed.

Jiang Chen had already said 'I can't say,' so the founder of Giant Axe naturally wouldn't ask.

He disdained to pry into other people's secrets unless it involved the safety of his community.
