Chapter 326 Alien Race: Chen Yuan Must Die!
"Teacher, you flatter me." Chen Yuan smiled.
In reality, he's a family member who knows his own family affairs.
In terms of treasure-refining skills, he is still far behind, having only just reached level eight.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have worried about the quality deteriorating when he first crafted the treasure for Senior Brother Youhou.
Later, thanks to the Eye of Primordial Chaos, he gained extremely strong observational abilities, which enabled him to refine each material to perfection with his somewhat rudimentary smelting skills.
If Chen Yuanzi hadn't possessed the Primordial Eye, and relied solely on his mental power to aid his divine perception, the smelting process would never have yielded a perfect result.
If the final product can reach the intermediate level of level eight, we'll be very grateful.
"This disciple also used a trick this time; my true treasure refining skills are not yet at the peak level."
Chen Yuan spoke the truth.
"No matter what method you used, the fact that you were able to refine these materials so perfectly is a testament to your skill."
The mountain dweller waved his hand and said, "Of course, it's good that you can recognize your shortcomings. Now, keep working hard in the right direction."
"Understood." Chen Yuan nodded.
"You're a promising student." The mountain dweller nodded with satisfaction, then continued, "Listen carefully now, this technique will help shorten the smelting process and improve efficiency." After putting away the black palace, Chen Yuan continued to listen attentively to his teacher's explanation of more in-depth treasure-refining techniques.
Meanwhile, the Abyss Whale clone, far away in the Origin Palace, did not rush to begin refining the next treasure. Instead, it took out some ordinary materials that it had on hand and began to temper them.
This time, he wasn't trying to forge anything; he was simply honing his smelting skills and improving his fundamentals.
After all, this perfect refining was achieved using the Primordial Eye, and the "physical refining cauldron" mentioned by the Mountain Guest was just an auxiliary tool and did not represent his true skill.
Chen Yuan understood that the teacher had asked him to use his divine power to simulate the melting of materials in the Myriad Transformations Cauldron in order to train his special sensory abilities, which was the so-called "basic skills".
Only after mastering the basics can he continue to learn more advanced treasure-refining techniques, including the subsequent supreme treasure-making techniques.
As for the Eye of Primordial Chaos, there is an even more important task at present, which is to assist the system in analyzing the information of the 'Nameless Sword Embryo'.
Yes, Chen Yuan discovered that after his Primordial Eye advanced to the second level, although he still couldn't decipher the secrets of the Nameless Sword Embryo, this secret technique could be combined with the system's data collection function.
This means that, under dual perception, his system can finally collect the information contained within the nameless sword embryo.
More importantly, the system's data collection progress for the nameless sword embryo was no longer an "infinite" symbol, but instead became—"
"One in 100,000?"
Chen Yuan glanced at the progress on the panel, then clicked on the details of the collection task, thinking to himself, "The information the system collected from the nameless sword embryo starts at the tenth level? And it's starting from the first level."
"However, the data collection speed is indeed a bit slow. Is it because the quality of the nameless sword embryo is too high, making data collection difficult?"
If this pace continues, Chen Yuan estimates that it will take at least ten thousand years to make even a slight improvement, which he considers excessively slow.
"Wait a minute."
Chen Yuan's heart stirred, and he suddenly controlled his clone to come to the outside of the Primordial Palace, and then continued to stack the Primordial Eye to let the system collect data.
He then discovered that the system was more than a thousand times faster, and estimated that it would be able to improve progress in less than ten years.
"I see. The data collection was also carried out according to the original cosmic time, and was not affected by the acceleration of the Primordial Palace."
In other words, the normal collection efficiency should be improved by one step every ten years. If the efficiency remains unchanged in the future, it will take "one million years" to complete the collection of data for the entire sword embryo. Chen Yuan blinked. This time seemed very long, yet also very short.
If the quality of the nameless sword embryo is truly at the God-King level, then a million years is already a very short time to collect it all.
However, considering the years Chen Yuan has cultivated to this point, these hundred years would be an extremely long time for him if placed in the primordial universe.
"If it really is a million years, I certainly couldn't have waited that long in the primordial universe."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "Once the Star Tower has recognized me as its master, I'll ask Master Zuoshanke for help and ask him to let me wait in his miniature universe."
After all, the system's time is anchored to the current universe. Just like in the Beast God Realm, he stayed there for two million years, which is a real two million years for the system, not two hundred years in the original universe.
The small universe of the Mountain-Sitting Guest can also be accelerated exponentially. Under such circumstances, he might only need a hundred years of the original universe to collect all the information in the Nameless Sword Embryo.
Of course, the prerequisite for the system to anchor itself to the miniature universe is that all of its clones need to enter the miniature universe. Once one clone is outside, the system's time will immediately align with the original universe.
Therefore, Chen Yuancai needs to wait until the Star Tower's recognition of its master is complete before he can make a request to his teacher.
As for now, since he's idle anyway, he naturally continues to collect data, since a million years is just a conjecture and the probability is not high.
Based on Chen Yuan's understanding of the system, it is more likely that when the data collected by the system cannot exceed the tenth level, the progress bar may stop directly after reaching a certain point.
That's why he wouldn't be foolish enough to waste these hundreds of years. Otherwise, if he were to enter a miniature universe and discover that the system couldn't collect complete data at all, he would be dumbfounded.
"Let's keep collecting. Anyway, there are still several hundred years before the Star Tower's recognition ends. Let's test if the system has any limits first."
"Well, let's go back to the Origin Palace. After all, this clone still needs to hone its treasure-refining skills and needs time to accelerate."
Having made up his mind, Chen Yuan, the Abyss Whale, returned to the Shiyuan Palace and began practicing smelting techniques while assisting the system in collecting information on sword embryos. In this way, the cultivation of Chen Yuan's various clones returned to normal, and time seemed to be accelerated, passing by in a hurry.
As time went by, Chen Yuan, who was focused on his seclusion, was unaware that his information, due to its public nature (accessible only to those with the authority of a king), had already caused a huge stir among the upper echelons of the human race.
After all, whether it was becoming a top cosmic overlord in less than a thousand years of cultivation, or creating the "Primordial Secret Scripture" and the contributions of King Armor and King Soul that had a significant impact on the human race, Chen Yuan had become a figure widely known among the upper echelons of the human race.
Naturally, as more and more people discussed it, the latest information about Chen Yuan finally reached the ears of the other top clans.
Leaving aside the Prison Clan and Crystal Clan, who live in seclusion in a remote corner, the Machine Clan, Insect Clan, and Demon Clan, which border the human territory, all attach great importance to this intelligence.
Even disregarding how this former No. 0.1 assassin rose to become the overlord of the universe in just a few hundred years, his contributions to humanity alone are enough to show that he was no ordinary person.
"This is a formidable enemy!"
The silver-white snake head roared, "So Chen Yuan is the genius behind the creation of the King Armor technology, and he has grown into a cosmic overlord in such a short time! It is clear that this person is not only a cultivation genius, but also an extremely rare research genius."
"If this person is not eliminated, he will surely become a major threat to our clan in due time."
"It won't take any more time." The strange beast "Zhen Yao Zu" shrouded in its serrated shell said calmly, "According to the information from the human race, this person is already a top overlord, no less than the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master of the human race."
"Even if we send out the ruler of the universe, we might not be able to kill this person."
"Are top-tier overlords really that hard to kill?" Dream Demon Ancestor sneered. "If ordinary universe lords are no match, then what about high-level universe lords?"
"So who are you planning to send? Vulture? Extinction Forbidden? Blood?"
Zhen Yaozu proposed several titles, all of whom were renowned cosmic masters among the demon race, and each of them stood at the pinnacle of their respective realms.
"Neither." The Dream Demon Ancestor shook his head. "Chen Yuan is too much of a threat, and his strength is not weak. It would be too difficult for my clan to plan an assassination."
"Moreover, the demon race was not the only one that suffered heavy losses in the battle outside the domain."
The Dream Demon Ancestor sneered, "I don't believe that the Mechanical and Zerg Queens can remain calm after learning that the researcher of Wang Jia is this Chen Yuan."
In fact, what the Dream Demon Ancestor said was indeed correct. At almost the same time that the Demon Race received Chen Yuan's information, the Mechanical Race and the Insect Race also received the same information.
"The researcher behind Wang Jia has finally appeared; his name is Chen Yuan?"
The black sphere roared in fury, "Such exceptional cultivation talent! To become a top-tier overlord in just a few hundred years? This person cannot be allowed to live; he must be eliminated as soon as possible!"
"Father God," the Lord of the Universe said respectfully, "According to the information, this Primordial Venerable has become an existence no less than the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace. Even an ordinary Lord of the Universe probably wouldn't be confident of killing him."
"To kill this person, we must be fully prepared and gather all relevant information, such as whether the opponent has a clone and the status of the treasure."
Finally, to ensure a fatal blow, it is necessary to arrange for a top-tier expert to take action.
"You're absolutely right, Hengxian," the black sphere said. "What are your thoughts? Tell me."
"Father God," Lord Hengxian said respectfully, "It would be difficult for our clan to kill the Primordial Venerable with our own strength alone, but this matter is not solely related to our clan."
"Back then, due to the appearance of equipment such as Wang Jia, it wasn't just our mechanical race that suffered heavy losses; the demon race and the insect race also suffered significant losses."
"You mean, to unite with the other two races?" the black sphere said.
"That's right." Lord Hengxian knelt down. "I imagine the other two races share the same thought."
"I see."
"..."
In another distant territory, the Zerg also obtained information about Chen Yuan from the lurkers they had planted among the Terrans.
"Chen Yuan? So he's the one who developed the King Armor and King Soul technologies."
The slender figure, shrouded in light, said softly, "I remember him. He was number one on the alien assassination list. Our race once launched an assassination attempt against him, but it failed, and even led to the complete uprooting of an infiltrative organization."
"Your Majesty, this Chen Yuan has now grown up and is said to possess the strength of a top overlord, no less than the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master of the human race."
The Lord of the Nether Lotus, who was serving at the side, said softly, "We don't know what kind of encounter this person has had. We haven't heard from him since he became the Realm Lord. We never expected that he would break through in just a few hundred years."
However, the Zerg Queen's focus was not on that; instead, she inquired, "Have our people investigated the function of this 'Primordial Secret Record'?"
"To be hailed as a major contribution by the human race, even ranking ahead of King Jia and King Hun, the effects of this secret technique must be extraordinary."
"Your Majesty is wise." Lord of the Nether Lotus said respectfully, "I immediately arranged for spies to gather information, but unfortunately the human race is too vigilant. We only managed to obtain a sliver of information at a great cost, and another spies were destroyed because of this information."
"Is the information being kept so tightly under wraps?" The Zerg Queen was slightly surprised. "But Chen Yuan's file clearly states this matter."
"You only reveal that the 'Secret Records of the Primordial Beginning' is extremely important, but you won't reveal a single detail of its contents?"
The Zerg Queen asked softly, "What message did the Lurkers send back?"
"The infiltrators were unable to ascertain the specific effects of the Primordial Secret Record, but—" The Lord of the Nether Lotus paused, then said softly, "According to the infiltrators' speculation, recently several hundred human kings have broken through to the Universe Venerable level, and there are even rumors that the human race has gained another Universe Lord."
"And the reason for this incident is related to the 'Secret Records of the Primordial Beginning'."
"What!" The Zerg Queen was clearly astonished. "Humanity has gained a new ruler of the universe? Is this true?"
"It's hard to tell what's true and what's false." The Lord of the Nether Lotus shook his head. "The information is blocked too tightly. There are only some rumors and unsubstantiated claims, which may not be true."
"Let's leave him aside for now and just consider him a new ruler of the universe, but this person will definitely not show up for a while."
The Zerg Queen added, "The most urgent task is to eliminate Chen Yuan, this threat. I have a feeling that his importance far surpasses that of the newly crowned Lord of the Universe."
"Please give your orders, Your Majesty," the Lord of the Nether Lotus said respectfully. "The Nether Lotus is ready to act at any time."
"This matter is none of your concern." The Zerg Queen shook her head. "Chen Yuan's threat is not only directed at my race. I presume the Mechanical Race and the Demon Race share the same idea. Let's see what the other two races think."
Soon after, the strongest members of the three peak races gathered again, especially the demon race. This time, not only was the Dream Demon Ancestor present, but even the Tremor Demon Ancestor came.
After a brief discussion, the four strongest beings in the universe reached a consensus: Chen Yuan must be eliminated at all costs.
Of course, while the target was identified, the question remained: how to assassinate Chen Yuan.
"According to intelligence, this Chen Yuan has been staying in the heart of the human race, possibly in the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters."
The black sphere said calmly, "The Chaos City Lord personally guards that area. Within the Thousand Treasures River's range, even the strongest might not be able to kill it."
"Then use all our spies to keep a close watch on their movements," the silver-white snake head suggested.
The strange beast with its serrated shell nodded: "It must be lured to another area."
"That's a good idea, but as far as I know, this Chen Yuanzi is all alone, without any family or friends; he's a pure ascetic."
The slender figure in the light said softly, "Just wait patiently. Maybe he will break through at any time. After all, he has hundreds of years of experience to rise from a realm lord to a top overlord. No one can be sure when he will break through."
"Once Chen Yuan breaks through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, then the so-called assassination will become a joke."
The slender figure paused for a moment, then continued, "I have a suggestion, I wonder if you all would like to hear it."
"Speak, stop keeping me in suspense." The silver-white snake head said, with thousands of snake shadows dancing behind it, clearly showing its impatience.
The slender figure smiled gently: "Don't forget, everyone, this Chen Yuan is the researcher of the Wang Jia, and the origin of this series of equipment..."
"It's Emperor Yan!" Several figures spoke at the same time, and the black sphere emitted a voice: "That's right, Emperor Yan said last time that the developer of this King Armor might be his teacher, the Mountain Hermit's, newly accepted disciple."
"In other words, we can obtain more information about Chen Yuan from Emperor Yan."
