Others had their own fortuitous encounters, too!

’Fortuitous encounters are just a foot in the door to becoming a High Tier Life. In the end, what matters most is relying on yourself.’

’Besides, their encounters can’t possibly be as significant as my Book of Space-Time. After all, the Book of Space-Time isn’t even complete, yet it already lets me traverse space directly—anytime, anywhere, without needing to find a Wormhole or anything like that.’

As Wang Xiao was lost in thought,

Louis and the others let out gasps of awe.

"Oh my god, to think Earth has a place as miraculous as this! No wonder the Federation considers it a top secret. If the Mutant Beasts ever found out, they’d probably stop at nothing to destroy it!"

"Exactly! This is a treasure of humankind. We can’t let those disgusting Mutant Beasts get their hands on it!"

"A month of Cultivation in here is only a day on the outside... No wonder. I’d heard rumors about some peerless geniuses being taken away. They must have been brought here to train!"

Ye Tianying explained,

"There isn’t just one Cosmic Relic like this on Earth—or I should say, in the Solar System or even the Milky Way Galaxy. Each Cosmic Relic serves a different purpose. You’ll understand once your Cultivation reaches a higher Life Tier."

"The Cosmos is vast, and we are insignificant. You must always maintain a sense of awe."

Everyone was slightly taken aback by his words.

This was information they would never have been privy to otherwise.

It involved the secret to humanity’s rapid evolution.

They grew even more excited to hear there was more than one Cosmic Relic.

The Cosmos truly was vast, all-encompassing, and filled with endless wonders!

No wonder so many of the Tier Six Life on Earth headed to outer space after breaking through.

They were more than likely searching for Cosmic Relics.

"Alright, I’ve said what I needed to. The rest is up to you," Ye Tianying said. "I hope you all find what you’re looking for inside the Cosmic Relic. Go on."

"Then, Chief, I’ll be going now!"

Louis said in broken Chinese before stepping through the Bronze Sect.

A blonde, blue-eyed woman followed close behind him.

"We should go, too," Qin Mengyue said, glancing at Wang Xiao.

"Yeah."

Wang Xiao nodded and stepped through the Bronze Sect.

After Wang Xiao and the others had departed,

Ye Tianying waited a moment longer. Once he confirmed everyone had passed through safely, he retracted the Bronze Sect, letting it sink into the Inner World between his brows.

The two Tier Six Life at his side only then began to talk.

"This crop of candidates isn’t bad. To think that four of them passed the initial trial."

"Yeah. The last batch we sent over was nearly wiped out." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Among this group, it seems only Wang Xiao has no High Tier Life in his ancestry. The others all come from families that have produced Tier Nine Life."

"Yes, and he’s the strongest of the group. I thought Ji Wuchang was the most outstanding of all the prodigies, but I was wrong. To think... humanity is truly producing wave after wave of geniuses!"

"The final choice for the God Creation Plan will likely come down to Ji Wuchang or this Wang Xiao. I wonder which of them can overcome the final trial and pass Elder Nether King’s test."

"When Ji Wuchang entered the relic, his Cultivation seemed to be at the Seventh Layer Spiritual Domain of a Tier Five Life. So much time has passed since then. I wonder what Realm he has reached now."

Ye Tianying spoke up.

"For the final trial, one’s Realm is useless. As long as the others meet the requirements, it’s not impossible for them to succeed. Of course, if I had to pick one, I’d say Wang Xiao has the best chance."

The Tier Six Life named Wang Qiang smiled.

"Chief Ye, it seems you think very highly of this Wang Xiao."

Ye Tianying made no effort to hide his admiration for Wang Xiao.

"I see shades of the Tier Nine elders in him. He might just give us the miracle we need."

"The Mutant Beasts have been growing restless lately. It looks like they’re preparing to launch an all-out war against humanity at any moment."

"If Wang Xiao can refine Earth, it will save countless lives!"

Wang Qiang raised an eyebrow.

"The Mutant Beasts seem to control several Cosmic Relics themselves. They’ve even found Cultivation Techniques within them specifically for their kind. They’ll definitely try to refine Earth, too!"

The other Tier Six Life, a man named Lu Shaoyou, snorted.

"Refining Earth? It’s not that simple. According to Lord Nether King, one must gather all the Origin Dao Fruits just to have a chance!"

Wang Qiang sighed.

"You’re right. I wonder why refining Earth is so difficult. I suppose only someone with both top-tier Talent and fortuitous encounters could ever hope to accomplish it."

Ye Tianying’s lips thinned.

"Elder Nether King once said that our Earth is extremely special, so refining it is much harder than a normal Living Star. Of course, after successfully refining it, one would also be much stronger than a normal Star Lord."

"We’ll just have to see who is fortunate enough to get the chance to refine it in the end."

...

HUMMM!

As Wang Xiao passed through the passage created by the Bronze Sect, a wave of dizziness suddenly washed over him.

His body was also under immense pressure.

The pressure was even greater than what he endured in the outside world!

’Even I can feel the pressure. Without the protection of the Bronze Sect, this Wormhole leading to the relic would probably tear a person to shreds in an instant?!’

Wang Xiao thought with an inward sigh.

’So the trial outside was to prepare us for passing through the Bronze Sect’s channel. If someone couldn’t even handle the pressure of the Earth Abyss, there’d be no way they could make it through this passage.’
