TL: Etude
Faced with Ye Tianâs decision, Kunwu Supreme did not dissuade him.
Before summoning Ye Tian, the numerous Supremes of the human race had convened a meeting to discuss whether Ye Tian should participate or not. They recommended that Ye Tian participate, seeing it as a beneficial move for the human race.
If Ye Tian did not participate, the human race would inevitably have to cede one or two star fields. Losing one or two star fields wasnât a significant issue in itself, but the problem lay in those star fields being occupied by other forces. These terrifying entities nearby would pose a grave threat to the human race.
Moreover, if Ye Tian accepted the duel, he would inadvertently gain the favor of some major cosmic races. After all, Ye Tian was universally recognized as the most powerful genius in the universe, with combat power unmatched at the Galaxy level. Such a genius not participating would almost guarantee their loss. More importantly, Ye Tian couldnât avoid battle forever. Even if he skipped this duel, he would still be challenged by those Children of the Era, eventually forced to fight.
Rather than postponing the inevitable, it was better to participate now. At the very least, it would make the Divine Race and the Demon Race take Ye Tian and the human race seriously, seeing Ye Tian as a potential powerhouse against these forces, which might prompt them to protect the human race.
Otherwise, the human race wouldnât stand a chance against these terrifying Supremes.
âYe Tian, be careful! This opponent isnât like any of your previous ones. They are Children of the Era, beings surpassing the level of the Child of the Universe.
I know youâve reached the level of a Child of the Era, but there are varying strengths among them, and those Children of the Era may have legacies and foundations possibly greater than yours,â Kunwu Supreme reminded.
âKunwu Supreme, I understand,â Ye Tian replied.
âGo in three years. Use this time to prepare yourself,â said Kunwu Supreme.
âYes,â Ye Tian nodded.
In a blink, three years passed.
In such a short time, it was unrealistic for Ye Tian to make significant progress. He merely honed his combat strength and solidified his foundation.
On this day, Kunwu Supreme took Ye Tian to the center of the universe, where all major cosmic races sent their Supremes. Even if they didnât send fighters, they came to witness this significant event.
The First Divine Lord of the Divine Race and the First Demon Lord of the Demon Race personally arrived to witness this Galaxy-level battle.
Soon, they reached the central black hole of the universe.
âYe Tian, weâve arrived,â Kunwu Supreme said.
Ye Tian scanned the surroundings, sensing the presence of powerful aurasâthese were Supremes.
In the distance, majestic figures appeared, their auras seemingly incompatible with the universe yet integrated within it.
âThese must be the Supremes of those forces. They are indeed incredibly powerful, even more so than Kunwu Supreme. However, these Supremes belong to various forces, maintaining some distance from each other, indicating a lack of harmony,â Ye Tian thought.
On closer consideration, it made sense. These forces didnât know each other before; they came from different cosmic eras and only gathered in this era now. They might have formed a temporary alliance without true unity.
This lack of unity was a weakness. If these forces were genuinely united, the various races of this cosmic era would face even greater trouble.
âTwelve forces!â
Ye Tian made a judgment.
From the positions of these Supremes, it appeared there were twelve forces in total. Of course, the ancient Supremes present were not all of them, perhaps only a small portion. But overall, it seemed there were only twelve forces.
âWhen I was in the Nether King Temple, that artifact spirit mentioned that our universe is currently in its thirteenth era. So, these twelve forces should belong to the twelve eras of the universe, possibly composed of the top Supremes from these eras,â Ye Tian speculated. â�n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Boom!!!!! A massive arena appeared in the void, surrounded by thrones, each occupied by a Supreme.
At this moment, a Supreme appeared ahead. He looked like a middle-aged man, with strange patterns on his body and an extremely dark aura. He belonged to one of the twelve forces.
âAllow me to introduce myself. I am the founder of the Ancient Primordial Hall from the First Cosmic EraâMaster of the Primordial Era!â
At these words, the entire audience was shocked.
Even Ye Tian was extremely surprised.
He had entered the Ancient Primordial Hall before and had received tremendous fortunes there, such as the True Law of Heaven and Yuan. This supreme secret technique directly pointed to seventh-order life forms. Without such a technique, he wouldnât have been nearly as strong as he was now.
He had also gained a God-level poison curse talent from the Ancient Primordial Hall, a terrifying talent. One could say that the Ancient Primordial Hall had brought countless benefits to the various races of the universe.
Unexpectedly, the founder, Master of the Primordial Era, had now appeared!
âI canât sense any aura!â Ye Tian frowned.
He couldnât sense the power of the Master of the Primordial Era, who was clearly deliberately concealing his aura.
âLetâs use the copying talent to take a look!â Ye Tian thought.
His current copying talent covered a broad range, so scanning the Master of the Primordial Era wasnât an issue.
Swish! Ye Tian instantly used his copying talent to scan the Master of the Primordial Era.
Immediately, the talents of the Master of the Primordial Era appeared before his eyes.
âWhat, the Master of the Primordial Era possesses a Super God-level spatial talent!!!â Ye Tian was shocked.
[Space Talent: Super God-level]
In addition to the Super God-level space talent, the Master of the Primordial Era also had a God-level poison curse talent. His other talents were more common, including various God-level and supreme-level talents.
Ye Tian felt very excited! Although he possessed a Super God-level time-space talent, it was a lower-tier Super God-level time-space talent. If he copied this Super God-level spatial talent, his time-space talent would immediately evolve into a true Super God-level time-space talent.
At that point, his combat strength would undergo an unimaginable transformation!
âI came to the right place this time; otherwise, how would I have the chance to come into contact with someone like the Master of the Primordial Era?â Ye Tian thought.
âCopy!â
Ye Tian immediately copied the Super God-level spatial talent of the Master of the Primordial Era, but he didnât fuse with it right away. In front of so many Supremes, fusing with the Super God-level spatial talent would immediately expose him.
âIâll wait until I return to fuse it!â Ye Tian decided.
Afterward, Ye Tian examined the talents of other Supremes. One of them possessed a Super God-level time talent, but unfortunately, it was of no use to him.
Apart from these two talents, the talent that satisfied Ye Tian the most was the God-level Heart Moment talent! This rare talent, judging by its name, was incredibly unique, so Ye Tian copied it as well, planning to fuse it when he returned.
Having acquired the Super God-level spatial talent and the God-level Heart Moment talent, Ye Tian was in a great mood, waiting patiently for the duel to begin!
