378: In the city lord's palace!

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, the Black-robed Man led Chen Fan and his group forward.

"After Chen Fan mentioned the first two treasures of Primordial Chaos City just now, I will briefly tell you about the second treasure."

"Mmm!" The many geniuses all nodded, looking at Number Eleven with anticipation.

"This second treasure is the fifty-two chaos tablets of our Primordial Chaos City!"

"Chaos tablets?"

"What are chaos tablets?"

A genius asked in confusion.

These young people who had just arrived at Primordial Chaos City knew nothing about the secrets of Primordial Chaos City.

"Don't worry, I'll introduce them to you." The Black-robed Envoy was as patient as ever:

"Over billions of years, our Primordial Chaos City has had countless powerful beings leave behind their insights into the Universe Origin Laws, but they still can't compare to these 52 chaos tablets!"

The Black-robed Man said with a smile, "If you have the chance to fully comprehend any one of these fifty-two chaos tablets, you can directly become a powerful existence capable of establishing a Universe Country."

"Ah... Is that true?" A young genius exclaimed.

"No deception, it's all true!" The Black-robed Envoy replied with a smile, "However, if even one person among you thousand can comprehend any one chaos monument, I would already be very satisfied."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

All the geniuses looked at each other, their faces full of disbelief.

Only Chen Fan was different.

"Comprehending a chaos monument can make one a Universe Exalt? I'm afraid it's more than that!" Chen Fan looked at the Black-robed Envoy, secretly pondering in his heart.

"Therefore, these fifty-two chaos tablets are also the second treasure of our entire Primordial Chaos City."

Looking around and finding that all the geniuses' eyes were shining, the Black-robed Man coughed lightly and continued, "Remember, everyone who enters the Primal Universe to cultivate has one opportunity for seven days of comprehension."

"If you want more comprehension time, you can only strive for it yourself!" After speaking, the Black-robed Man showed a mysterious smile, and he looked around, saying earnestly:

"Cherish it well!"

"Seven days?"

"That's too short!"

Upon hearing this, some geniuses immediately widened their eyes.

"Little Highnesses, you don't know this!"

"The chaos monument is the supreme treasure of all humanity, more powerful than any secret technique, and can more clearly transmit the path to the peak. It can also allow you to comprehend the Origin Laws more clearly.

Therefore, seven days is not short!"

"Let's go, follow me!"

After speaking, the Black-robed Envoy led his subordinates into the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion... The City Lord's Mansion, whose area was unknown, was vast, with even ordinary cultivation rooms hundreds of meters long and wide, let alone the core of the entire Primordial Chaos City.

Walking along the dreamlike corridor, giant paintings hung on the walls on both sides.

No more, no less, exactly fifty-two paintings.

"These are rubbings of the chaos tablets. You can familiarize yourselves with them first, and then decide which chaos monument to enter after making your choice!"

Thus, a group of young people walked and stopped in the corridor, and some even approached the paintings, sniffing something intently.

"Indeed, the realm of this universe is still a bit low, and even the insights into the Great Dao and the Universe Laws are so superficial..."

A long sigh echoed in Chen Fan's heart.

It was the Enchantress acting up again!

But for now, Chen Fan did not bother with Enchantress Liu Qiyue, but instead quietly looked at each painting, feeling the faint Origin Laws contained within them.

"You all look carefully first, I'll call you in half an an hour!"

With that, the Black-robed Envoy left directly, leaving the group of geniuses to admire the paintings alone.

At this moment, there was no noisy sound in the corridor, and even footsteps became light.

They did not want to disturb others' judgment of the chaos monument with their own interruptions, as such an opportunity was rare and would not come again!

Chen Fan casually chose a painting resembling a towering ancient tree and began to study it carefully.

In one painting, spring, summer, autumn, and winter coexisted. This ancient tree also burst forth with powerful vitality in spring and fell into dormancy in winter.

In the changing of time, Chen Fan felt an indescribable sense of oppression, so he directly left this place and came to another painting.

This was a giant purple great blade, nearly ninety percent of the hundred-square-meter painting was occupied by this great blade.

Chen Fan moved a little closer, surprised to find that this giant great blade was actually composed of countless small blades.

These small blades were neatly arranged, like soldiers forming a vast army.

Fierce and unstoppable.

How overbearing!

Chen Fan secretly exclaimed in his heart.

Suddenly—

The picture changed.

As the small blades shifted positions, the entire blade shape also changed accordingly—

Either the Big Dipper, or the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, or a long snake formation... As the great blade's shape changed, its power instantly surged by an unknown amount.

"This... this is truly amazing!"

Almost instinctively, Chen Fan combined the great blade painting in front of him with "Time Restriction," giving rise to an ineffable, ethereal feeling... Around him, one genius after another walked past painting after painting, searching for the one that suited them best.

Only Chen Fan stood still, quietly experiencing this profound feeling.

Time passed bit by bit.

In less than five minutes, Chen Fan moved to another painting.

What he wanted to choose was something suitable for him.

But before leaving, Chen Fan wrote down the name of this painting—"blade emperor chaos monument."

"Blade Emperor, what kind of title is that?"

Chen Fan frowned slightly and looked to the side.

At this moment, Luo Feng was standing in front of the "Mother Ancestor chaos monument." After about a minute, he moved to another one.

As if feeling Chen Fan's gaze, Luo Feng turned his head and smiled slightly at his senior, Chen Fan.

"Mmm!" Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction.

As expected of City Lord Luo, whom he had recognized, not bad.

For no reason, a sense of pride spontaneously arose in Chen Fan's heart.

The birth and cultivation of City Lord Luo were inextricably linked to him, Chen Fan.

Just as he was thinking, some unpleasant images suddenly appeared in Chen Fan's mind.

In his memory, Luo Feng had once suffered assassination by an Insect Race chess piece in the Wu Long Star Region... and the bullying of King Yanzhu... "Hmph, merely a King Yanzhu, yet he dares to bully City Lord Luo!" Chen Fan snorted coldly in his heart, then pondered a solution.

Soon, Chen Fan's brows relaxed; he already had a plan.

If they were to fight, King Yanzhu and Venerable Shihuo behind him would have to learn a good lesson.

After all, Chen Fan's Earthling true body was still guarding his home in the Milky Way Galaxy.

His Earth was not so easily bullied!

With a decision made, Chen Fan continued to step forward, walking towards other paintings.

"Nine Universe chaos monument," "Heart Mark chaos monument," "Great Axe chaos monument," "Void Gold chaos monument"... Walking past painting after painting, Chen Fan saw many paintings similar to the "blade emperor chaos monument."

However, Chen Fan finally stopped in front of the "universe chaos tablet" painting. Although it only depicted a vast and boundless cosmic starry sky, it gave people a more wondrous and expansive feeling than the "blade emperor chaos monument."

"Good, you're the one, Primordial Chaos City Lord's 'universe chaos tablet'!" Chen Fan stared at the painting, a triumphant smile appearing on his lips... "Achoo!!"

At this moment, on the highest cultivation tower of the City Lord's Mansion, a majestic figure sat cross-legged in a secret room, silent and still.

If one looked closely, they would discover that this figure wore a golden robe, had green scales on his head, and his face resembled that of an Earthling's supreme existence.

"Achoo!!"

"Achoo!!"

...At this moment, this powerful being unexpectedly sneezed several times in a row.

"Who chose my universe chaos tablet!"

His voice, like a grand bell, echoed continuously within the secret room at the highest point of the City Lord's Mansion.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his pupils calm like the endless starry sky, directly piercing through layers of obstacles to look at Chen Fan, who was currently looking at the "universe chaos tablet" in the corridor, with faint glimmers of light flickering in his eyes.

A moment later, Primordial Chaos City Lord retracted his gaze.

"This kid is not only comprehending the three major Origin Laws but also wants to cultivate both time and space, which is very interesting!"

"However, the principle of biting off more than one can chew, you'll only understand after experiencing hardship..."

With that, Primordial Chaos City Lord closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to Chen Fan.

He was merely a genius with potential, not worth his excessive attention.

Unless he displayed dazzling talent... "Half an hour is up, everyone can tell me your choices!"

The Black-robed Envoy shouted loudly.

"universe chaos tablet!" Chen Fan was the first to speak.

"Heart Mark chaos monument!" An unknown genius shouted.

"blade emperor chaos monument!" Ma Liang shouted excitedly, his face full of exhilaration...
