Chapter 343 The Most Supreme Treasure Lost by Humanity
Zhou Ze nodded without saying anything more.
He was indeed unable to communicate with the origin of the universe, and he even believed that it was not the will of the primordial universe that blocked him, but rather the "Pearl of Nirvana" that blocked the primordial universe!
The Lord of Chaos City continued, "In that case, you indeed cannot use the Primal Treasure!"
"If you can use it, I can lend it to you."
Zhou Ze asked, "Even our human race doesn't have any primordial treasures in its reserves?"
The Chaos City Lord chuckled, "No one would hand over Origin Treasures to their clans; they don't even have enough for themselves. Besides, these treasures are incredibly precious; there are only a handful of cultivators in the entire universe who possess two Origin Treasures!"
"Even if they did, they'd usually give it to close relatives, not to their entire clan!"
"I see," Zhou Ze said, indicating that he understood.
The Lord of Chaos City continued, "The so-called Primal Treasures are a general term for a certain type of treasure!"
"Only at each of these four stages in a lifetime can a powerful being have the opportunity to be infused with endless energy from the origin of the universe!"
"As one cultivates and their strength increases, the powerful will draw upon the 'Sea of Laws' at the origin of the universe, slowly absorbing energy and enhancing their divine power—"
At this point, the Lord of Chaos City glanced at Zhou Ze, clearly curious as to why Zhou Ze could still enhance his divine power even though he couldn't communicate with the Origin of the Universe. However, he didn't ask further, presumably because it was related to that strange Nirvana Pearl.
Zhou Ze smiled and said, "Senior, you don't need to look at me like that. There's nothing to hide. The reason I was able to increase my divine power is related to the Pearl of Nirvana. Although I can't communicate with the ocean of laws at the origin of the universe because of it, I can continuously convert cosmic energy into a special kind of energy through the mysterious space bestowed upon me by the Pearl of Nirvana. And that energy can be converted into divine power!"
"But the speed is very, very slow—"
The Lord of Chaos City hadn't expected Zhou Ze to speak so directly. This feeling of being trusted warmed his heart, and he spoke even more kindly:
"Yes, that's the importance of primordial treasures. In battles between powerful beings in the universe, true life-or-death struggles, burning divine power is common. Even after billions of years of accumulation, once divine power is burned, a small amount is manageable, but if too much is consumed, recovery takes an extremely long time. Therefore, to reduce recovery time, a large number of treasures are needed. However, in the ordinary immortal stage, many cosmic treasures are quite effective, but once one reaches the cosmic venerable stage, the cosmic venerable's body is incredibly powerful—"
"Once 30% or 50% is lost due to burning, the amount of treasures needed to restore it would be immense, more than ten thousand times that of immortal gods. Even cosmic venerables couldn't gather such a huge amount of cosmic treasures even if they sold everything they owned!"
"We can only wait for time to pass and slowly recover, and it is normal for the Venerables to take hundreds of millions of years to naturally recover their divine bodies."
Zhou Ze nodded: "So, the Primal Treasure can greatly restore the divine body, allowing even Universe Venerables and Universe Lords to freely burn their divine bodies, turning the method of burning divine bodies into a regular practice?"
"Not bad." The Chaos City Lord nodded. "The Universe Venerable stage is manageable, but if a Universe Lord loses 50% of their body, it's even more terrifying. Restoring a Universe Lord to 50% of their divine body would be a huge loss for the entire race. It would be a huge loss for the entire race!"
"Even for our elite human race, the loss of one of my clones would be a painful price to pay. After all, at my level, there are very few cosmic treasures that can restore my strength in a short time, and we simply can't afford them."
Zhou Ze gleaned more information from the Chaos City Lord's words and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior, as a top-tier race, doesn't anyone in our human race possess a Primal Treasure?"
The Lord of Chaos City paused for a moment, then continued, "We used to have one, and it was even a top-tier primordial treasure. Now it's gone. However, our human race has a Universe Lord and a Venerable who each possess a low-level primordial treasure!"
"If you're still not giving up, I can borrow it for you to try."
"However, I don't think there's much hope, because the Origin Treasure, to put it bluntly, is what allows the strong to communicate with the Sea of Laws of the Origin of the Universe. Once you possess an Origin Treasure, you can activate the energy of the Sea of Laws of the Origin of the Universe a thousand times, ten thousand times, or even a million times faster. The specific increase in efficiency depends entirely on the level of the Origin Treasure."
"Forget it then—" Zhou Ze said helplessly, then, with a thoughtful and slightly gossipy smile, he said, "Such a top-tier primordial treasure must have been controlled by the strongest member of our clan, right? How could it have been lost?"
Zhou Ze guessed that it was probably related to the Primordial Ancestor. Speaking of which, it was truly pitiful that the human race, as one of the top races, did not have a single supreme treasure.
It is estimated that he was suppressed along with the original ancestor.
"Sigh, it's better not to say anything—" The Lord of Chaos City said helplessly.
Seeing the Chaos City Lord's expression, Zhou Ze became even more certain of his guess. It has to be said that the Primordial Ancestor was a bit too confident. Naturally, he didn't even leave any backup plan for the human race. Or perhaps he needed to use those supreme treasures.
"Then I can only wait it out. It's alright, having hope is better than having no hope at all," Zhou Ze said with a smile.
"Hmm." The Chaos City Lord said calmly, "By the way, what are your plans for the future?"
Zhou Ze crossed his arms behind his head: "I don't have any plans. I just want to comprehend the laws, create my own secret techniques, and guide my disciples and students." "Oh? You're not staying in the Outer Domain Battlefield anymore? I called you over mainly to ask about your specific strength and see if you can continue to stay in the Outer Domain Battlefield—."
The Lord of Chaos City took a sip of tea and said, "You seem to have only been in the extraterritorial battlefield for a few hundred years, less than a thousand years. Is that enough?"
"You yourself said that real combat is different from the virtual universe—"
Zhou Ze smiled and shook his head, saying, "There's no point in staying any longer. The extraterritorial battlefield is nothing more than the same old thing; it all comes down to one's own strength. Over the years, I've figured out my future path. Staying any longer is pointless, even a waste of time!"
The Lord of Chaos City laughed and said, "Hehe, you little guy, you've achieved financial freedom too early. Now you're even free to collect treasure points. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for you."
"It must be good news, senior," Zhou Ze said calmly. "The reason I didn't become an apprentice in the first place was because I knew my path was different from others, and no one could determine my growth route!"
"If I were to become an apprentice, my teacher would definitely take me seriously and personally consider my future development path. That wouldn't be good for me..."
"As for your concerns that I might become arrogant or conceited because of a lack of pressure or motivation, you don't need to worry at all."
"The first level of mental fortitude can almost eliminate these negative influences, let alone me—."
Zhou Ze smiled slightly.
"Then why don't you give your disciples points?" The Chaos City Lord asked with a sly smile.
"Ahem, well—" Zhou Ze smiled.
