Ye Yang nodded and then went to the front of the rubbing of the "Cosmic Chaos Stele" whose location he already knew.
Looking up, one sees a vast universe with countless twinkling stars.
Tranquility, nature.
Ye Yang seemed to have activated a "resonance spacetime," hearing the voice of the universe and the fluctuations of spacetime.
Humans, who evolved in the environment of Earth's planetary surface, find the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the grass very comforting and reassuring.
Ye Yang, whose bloodline has undergone mutation and evolution, is now a cosmic being. Naturally, he has the same feeling when he hears the natural fluctuations of spacetime.
It felt like lying quietly on the grass, basking in the sun on a cool autumn afternoon.
"Alright, we'll be there in half an hour. Tell me which Chaos Stele you choose, and I'll record it," the black-robed envoy suddenly spoke.
Ye Yang regained consciousness after being reminded by Babata, and he looked at the 52 pictures.
The four Chaos Steles, namely "Nine Universes," "Heavenly Ruins," "Ancient Universe," and "Giant Axe," resonated with him and were all suitable for his study.
But without a doubt, Ye Yang only had one choice—
"Which one do you choose?" the black-robed messenger asked Ye Yang.
"I choose the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument'," Ye Yang said calmly.
The black-robed envoy gave him a deep look and surprisingly asked, "The 'Cosmic Chaos Monument' is arguably the most difficult of all the Chaos Monuments. Without sufficient talent, progress will be extremely slow. Are you sure you still want to choose the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument'?"
"I'm sure."
The black-robed messenger nodded and left.
Not far away, Berlan glanced in their direction, then turned away again.
"Ye Yang also chose the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument'?"
"The first and second place winners have both chosen the same seat; it looks like another fierce battle is about to begin."
"The more I looked at the rubbing of the 'Cosmic Chaos Stele,' the more uncomfortable and nauseous I felt. My mind was buzzing, and I couldn't immerse myself in it at all, let alone comprehend it."
"Will these two continue to compete?"
"This is going to be interesting."
These young people felt they couldn't compete with such extraordinary talents, but that didn't dampen their enthusiasm for watching the spectacle.
After recording everyone's choices, the black-robed messenger turned around and said, "I have submitted all your choices to the system. Follow me now."
He then led the 1000 geniuses out of the corridor and deeper into the city lord's mansion, arriving at a spacious training ground.
"Currently, there are 52 Chaos Stele meditation chambers. 12 of these chambers are occupied, while the remaining 40 are empty."
"The Chaos Stele of Yanshan," "The Chaos Stele of Heart Traces," and "The Chaos Stele of the Universe"—
The black-robed messenger announced the names of the 40 Chaos Steles, saying:
"Those who choose these 40 Chaos Steles, go directly to the entrance on the left ahead. You will be led into your respective secret chambers."
More than 800 people, including Ye Yang and Bo Lan, quickly flew into the entrance.
Only 138 people, including Luo Feng, Rong Jun, and Wu Ka, remained at the original location.
The city lord's mansion is incredibly spacious, with over 800 people walking through the corridors of one of the buildings.
On both sides of the corridor stand ancient, imposing blue doors, each approximately 160 meters long and 120 meters high, inscribed with a universal language:
"Mother Ancestor" "Giant Axe" —
Behind these giant gates lies the secret chamber for comprehending the Chaos Stele.
In front of the door to each secret room stood a kind-looking, three-eyed old man. Every old man had the same face!
It's the same person.
"The Cosmic Chaos Monument." Bolan and Ye Yang arrived in front of the bronze gate inscribed with the word "Cosmos."
"Lord Kandri." The two bowed to the smiling, kind-looking three-eyed old man.
The black-robed messenger had already explained to the more than 800 people that the Chaos Monument Guardian, "Lord Kandri," had been guarding the 52 Chaos Monument Chambers for over a million epochs, and countless people in the entire Chaos City respected him greatly.
"Hmm, these are the two youngsters who have the most outstanding understanding of the laws in this year's Genius Battle." The kind-looking three-eyed old man nodded and smiled, "You both chose the Cosmic Chaos Monument. It's good that you're confident, but you should also be realistic about your abilities."
Ye Yang and Bo Lan exchanged a glance.
In fact, as early as three years into the spaceship's journey, the fact that the two peerless geniuses from the Primordial Secret Realm wanted to choose which Chaos Stele was already an open secret among the powerful.
After all, the quality of this year's Genius Battle is very high, which naturally attracts the attention of some ancient and powerful beings.
Berlan displayed exceptional spatial talent, and although his chances of becoming a Cosmic Sovereign remained slim, many Cosmic Kings still cherished his talent.
Even if I don't take him on as a disciple, it would be normal to offer him some pointers.
Ye Yang was in a similar situation. Although no cosmic ruler sent him emails with suggestions, he received emails from many super-strong individuals, such as True Evolution King, who advised him to choose the 'Nine Universes School'. Another King-level expert suggested that he choose the 'Heavenly Ruins School'.
However, through practice and studying "Cosmic Wandering," Ye Yang determined that he could follow the path of comprehending "Cosmic Chaos Monument," with space as the primary focus and time as a secondary element!
Marquis Li also expressed his approval.
Bolan, on the other hand, was extremely confident. With his extraordinary talent, he believed that comprehending the laws of space was as easy as eating and drinking, and he thought he had the energy to take care of the laws of time as well.
Both of them had their own principles and naturally couldn't change their minds at this point.
"Alright, you can go in then." After seeing the looks in the eyes of the two little ones, the three-eyed old man knew he couldn't persuade them. He didn't shake his head or sigh, but opened the door to the secret room with a kind expression.
The sealed room was filled with chaotic air currents, making it impossible to see what was inside from the outside.
"Little ones, you only have seven days. Study hard and comprehend it," the three-eyed old man said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord Kandari." Ye Yang immediately expressed his gratitude and then rushed into the room.
In the vast, secret chamber, Ye Yang, filled with immense excitement and anticipation, vaguely saw a massive stone tablet surrounded by chaotic energy.
"This is the Cosmic Chaos Monument!"
When Ye Yang was studying "Cosmic Wanderings" and "Crystal Star", there were many parts he didn't understand because he had no references, so he found it difficult to comprehend them.
He had long awaited to comprehend the Chaos Monument of the Universe, and now that he had finally seen it, he was naturally excited.
Ye Yang moved closer and then he could see clearly what was carved on the hundred-meter-tall stone tablet.
The Cosmic Chaos Monument contains 10 images:
The first picture is of a vast ocean and a starry sky.
There are a few scattered stars in the sky, their trajectories seemingly chaotic and mesmerizing, yet possessing a unique charm. Upon closer inspection, there are actually only nine stars.
In the ocean, the waves rise and fall, seemingly endless and continuous, but upon closer inspection, there are only nine waves.
However, if you observe more closely, you can discover that the reflections of the stars in the sky are faintly visible in the sea.
In the sky, there were also faint auroras, which echoed the nine waves in the sea.
This is the first picture, "Nine Stars Reflecting the Sea".
The second picture is "Broken Waves Reflecting Stars". If you count carefully, there are 36 stars in the sky and 36 fine waves on the sea.
The third picture is a picture of giant waves and stars. If you count carefully, there are 72 stars in the sky and 72 giant waves on the sea.
The fourth picture is a picture of raging waves and stars. If you count carefully, there are 108 stars in the sky and 108 waves of different shapes on the sea.
The fifth image is a planetary map, depicting a planet with oceans, glaciers, auroras, and rings, surrounded by eight satellites.
The sixth image is a map of the stars, consisting of one star, nine planets, and 108 small satellites.
The seventh picture depicts an incredibly chaotic starry sky, with countless random stars scattered across the entire image, resembling a random noise image that is completely incomprehensible.
The eighth picture depicts a strange monster, which is also incomprehensible.
The ninth picture depicts nine completely different and strange monsters.
The tenth picture depicts countless strange monsters, their numbers beyond counting.
"The first six pictures seemed to be explaining some profound Tao and principle, but the seventh to tenth pictures gave me no feeling at all."
Ye Yang thought to himself, "Becoming a Universe Venerable by comprehending the seventh picture is too far beyond my reach. I should start comprehending the first picture now."
Ye Yang then went to view the first painting, "Nine Stars Reflecting the Sea".
At this moment, Bolan also circled the Cosmic Chaos Stele, looked at all ten pictures, and came to the first picture, not far from Ye Yang, to observe and comprehend it.
The first image features nine waves and nine stars, representing nine different aspects of time and nine different aspects of space.
The reflection of stars on the sea illustrates the principle of combining time and space, with time as the primary factor and space as the secondary factor.
The aurora borealis in the starry sky illustrates the principle of space as the primary element and time as the secondary element, and the combination of space and time.
The Cosmic Chaos Monument is the most difficult to comprehend, and there are reasons for this difficulty.
If one can fully comprehend the first image, the comprehender's strength would likely be comparable to comprehending one and a half images of the other Chaos Steles. After all, the Cosmic Chaos Stele contains both "time" and "space," as well as countless mysteries of their combined application.
Time and space are the two most powerful superior laws among the ten fundamental laws. The combination and application of them are naturally incredibly powerful and heaven-defying.
When Ye Yang began to devote himself wholeheartedly to comprehending the first "Nine Stars Reflecting the Sea" picture, the scene began to transform into countless artistic conceptions and mysteries in his eyes.
In particular, the nine stars in the sky and their changing patterns captivated Ye Yang.
"So that's how it is! This was the original intention behind the 489th drawing in 'Cosmic Wanderings'! No wonder it always felt strange and wrong—it turns out I've been wrong all along, terribly wrong!"
"How can time and space be combined in such a way?"
"So that's how it's solved? That's amazing—"
Ye Yang's four bodies—two primordial Golden Horned Beast clones and two human clones—are all connected in consciousness, essentially watching the Cosmic Chaos Monument simultaneously.
The human clone activates the innate secret technique "Resonance of Space and Time," and can also directly sense the fluctuations of the origin of time and space.
From those nine stars, one could almost see an incredibly strange and powerful movement technique. From the nine waves, one could see nine different illusions. The first Golden Horned Beast clone seemed to see the nine stars transforming into hooves, claws, tails, wings, or golden horns, unleashing terrifying attacks with savagery. Because of their different strengths, what one could see in the Chaos Stele was also different.
As a treasure of the human race, the Chaos Monument can naturally guide powerful individuals from different paths to the ultimate peak.
The guiding aura on this Chaos Stele cannot be replicated or simulated, and resources are limited, so the time allotted for each opportunity to comprehend it is pitifully short, only seven days.
However, Ye Yang felt that his gains in these seven days were greater than those from his previous blind research into "Cosmic Wandering" and "Crystal Star".
The year will be even bigger!
During his three years on the spaceship, he realized that the number of drawings in "Cosmic Wanderings" increased from 507 to 615, and his understanding of the combined use of time and space reached a whole new level.
Although he still hasn't mastered any of the sword techniques of "Crystal Star", it can be said that Ye Yang's progress in understanding and applying the laws in these 3 years is equivalent to his progress in the previous 10 years!
However, the seven days Ye Yang spent studying the Cosmic Chaos Stele felt more intensive than the previous three years.
