From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

'So this is the world where the Time Divine Tree race lives?' Li Yang thought to himself.

Before, his true body had been denied entry and even driven away, but now his avatar had entered with ease.

"Shi Guang, I've already reported your situation to our superiors. I'll take you to see a Supreme Elder now." Elder Leng Yue's face no longer held a trace of coldness, only a smile.

'His Space Law and Thunder Law are so strong. In the future, Shi Guang will surely master their profound mysteries completely. That means he will become a Tri-System Deity at the very least.'

"Understood, Elder." Hearing Elder Leng Yue's words, Li Yang's Time Divine Tree avatar nodded.

He was just about to say something when suddenly...

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Terrifying waves of aura erupted, followed by crushing pressure. The moment Li Yang sensed the pressure, three powerful Time Divine Tree experts appeared beside him!

The auras of these three Time Divine Trees far surpassed that of Deities; they were clearly Emperor Level experts!

Seeing the three of them, Elder Leng Yue was startled and quickly said, "Second Supreme Elder, Third Supreme Elder, Seventh Supreme Elder."

He was incredibly respectful, but the three Emperors of the Time Divine Tree race ignored his greeting. All of them were staring at Li Yang, their eyes shining.

"Leng Yue, is this Shi Guang?"

"Have both his Space Law and Thunder Law broken through to the Star Lord Realm?"

The three Supreme Elders asked.

They had just received Leng Yue's report. It said a new member of the race had appeared who, in just over a decade, had broken through in both the Space Law and Thunder Law to reach the Star Lord Realm.

Upon hearing this news, even they found it difficult to remain calm and had immediately descended to this location.

Elder Leng Yue didn't dare hesitate and nodded quickly. "Yes, Supreme Elders. I just tested him. Shi Guang, please demonstrate your Space Law and Thunder Law again."

"Yes." Li Yang's Time Divine Tree avatar nodded and did as he was asked.

HUM...

The fluctuations of the Space Law and Thunder Law spread out, causing the eyes of the three Time Divine Tree Emperors to light up!

"Haha, excellent!"

"To reach this level in the Space Law and Thunder Law after only a decade of cultivation... our Time Divine Tree race has never produced such a powerful genius!"

"It's not just our race; it's almost impossible for such a powerful genius to appear in any other race either!"

"That's right. In the genius selection competition previously held by the Human Race's Eternal Saint Hall, the human geniuses who participated were all at the Law Realm, but the youngest among them was over twenty years old."

"Shi Guang is only in his teens, yet he has reached the Star Lord Realm!"

The Emperors were incredibly excited, their eyes glowing as they stared at Li Yang as if he were a priceless treasure.

They weren't wrong. In the entire Cosmos, the number of individuals who had reached the Star Lord Realm in Three-Element Laws after only a decade or so of cultivation could be counted on one hand!

Elder Leng Yue added excitedly, "Supreme Elders, I believe that in terms of Talent, even the Human Race's current strongest geniuses, Mixed Void and Li Yang, are definitely no match for Shi Guang!"

Mixed Void and Li Yang are also at the Star Lord Realm right now, but how many years have they been cultivating? Given the same amount of time, they definitely couldn't compare to Shi Guang!

Elder Leng Yue was overjoyed. When the human Li Yang had visited before, although he hadn't tried to curry favor with him, he had been incredibly envious that the Human Race had produced a genius like Li Yang. He had desperately longed for his own race to produce such a genius as well.

However, he knew that was just daydreaming. They were a race of natural-born Deities, the darlings of the Time Law, but the restrictions placed upon them were too great. To hope for a genius on the level of Mixed Void or Li Yang was pure wishful thinking.

Even a genius casually recruited by the Human Race's Eternal Saint Hall would be considered a powerful genius if placed in their race.

But he never expected it—it was as if the heavens had finally smiled upon them. Their race had truly produced a peerless genius! And in terms of Talent, he was even greater than the human Li Yang!

"Haha, of course the humans Mixed Void and Li Yang can't compare to Shi Guang!"

"According to the information I have, there are no more than ten individuals in the entire Cosmos who have broken through in three Laws to the Star Lord Realm in just over a decade!"

The three Time Divine Tree Supreme Elders were also incredibly excited.

And they had every reason to be. Reaching the Emperor realm wasn't directly related to the number of Laws one comprehended, but with sufficient Talent in the Laws—and with the level of Talent Shi Guang was displaying—it was entirely possible for him to break through and become an Emperor! In fact, it was highly likely!

Their Time Divine Tree race would gain another Emperor!

For the Time Divine Tree race, Emperors were the pillars of their people. Every additional one would cause the race's overall strength to soar!

Watching the excited group before him, Li Yang's Time Divine Tree avatar thought, 'So, it's a success?'

Seeing how thrilled the three Emperors were, he knew the Time Divine Tree race would now provide him with the best possible training!

'I wonder what I'll get out of this?' Li Yang wondered in anticipation.

He felt no psychological burden about his scheme, of course.

Those not of our race are bound to have different allegiances. Li Yang had come here for his own sake—to grow stronger more quickly.

Of course, since he was receiving benefits from the Time Divine Tree race, if they ever ran into trouble in the future—so long as it didn't affect the Human Race in any way—he could lend a hand.

Just as he expected, the Second Supreme Elder, his face beaming with joy, announced, "From this day forward, Shi Guang is the strongest genius of our Time Divine Tree race! The race will spare no resource in nurturing him!"

"Second Brother, I agree!"

"Let's start drawing up a training plan right now!"

The other two Emperors of the Time Divine Tree race voiced no objections, simply nodding in agreement.

The Third Supreme Elder waved his right hand, and a transparent sphere of light appeared.

"Shi Guang, this is a Time Divine Pearl. It was created by all the Emperors of the Time Divine Tree race working together. It can help you comprehend the Time Law more quickly. Use it well."

"Created by all the Emperors together?"

Li Yang was stunned to hear the Third Supreme Elder's words.

The Fire Spirit Pearl of the Fire Nether Divine Beast race, for instance, was created by only a few of their Emperors over a period of 100 million years.

But this Time Divine Pearl before him was created by *all* the Emperors of the Time Divine Tree race. Its value was surely far greater than that of a Fire Spirit Pearl!

It was undoubtedly the most coveted treasure for any genius seeking to comprehend the Time Law!

And now, this treasure had fallen into Li Yang's hands with such ease.

Clutching the Time Divine Pearl, Li Yang's Time Divine Tree avatar said gratefully, "Thank you, Third Supreme Elder."

"Haha, Shi Guang, just focus on your cultivation. I have comprehended the Space Law, and my brother here has comprehended the Thunder Law. If you have any questions regarding these two Laws, feel free to come and ask us," the Third Supreme Elder said with a smile.
