"My name is Yan Ji."
The beautiful Human woman spoke softly, her voice calm and steady.
"I am Master Yuan Bin's intelligent assistant, responsible for managing his Divine Kingdom—more precisely, the current Yi Jian Manor."
"Intelligent life? Divine Kingdom? Yi Jian Manor?"
Bai Yue frowned slightly. The amount of information packed into those few words was enough to momentarily disrupt even his composed state of mind.
Seeing his confusion, Yan Ji did not rush him. Instead, she patiently began to explain, her tone unhurried and clear, gradually laying out the truth behind everything Bai Yue had experienced.
Yuan Bin had been the greatest treasure-refining genius in the entire history of the Lian Xing Clan.
From a young age, his talent in refining treasures far surpassed his peers. He was discovered early, nurtured carefully, and once he became Undying, he received the clan's core inheritance. His refinement techniques advanced by leaps and bounds, allowing him to amass an astonishing amount of wealth in a relatively short time.
Yan Ji herself had originally been an intelligent lifeform created by Yuan Bin.
After his refinement abilities reached a certain height, Yuan Bin exchanged a massive amount of wealth for an Evolutionary Heart, allowing Yan Ji to transcend her original limits and become true life. Using his own treasure-refining methods, he then personally crafted a physical body for her.
The Yan Ji standing before Bai Yue was the result.
As Yan Ji continued, Bai Yue's earlier suspicions were fully confirmed.
Yuan Bin… had indeed fallen.
After his death, Yan Ji had been left behind, bound within this place. Even though she herself had reached the Undying level, the nature of intelligent life meant she was still required to follow her Master's final instructions—to wait for the fated person Yuan Bin had spoken of.
Had she not already become Undying, she would never have endured the countless years of solitude.
This entire space was Yuan Bin's Divine Kingdom.
After his treasure-refining abilities improved to an extreme degree, Yuan Bin had grown dissatisfied with merely refining heavy treasures. Instead, he began challenging the limits of refinement itself—attempting to refine something unprecedented.
He intended to refine his own Divine Kingdom into a supreme treasure.
A treasure that combined palace defense, suppression, attack, soul protection, and spatial control into a single existence.
The process took an unimaginably long time. He gathered materials, designed structures, tested formations, failed repeatedly—and then tried again.
In the end, he succeeded.
This ruin was not merely a ruin.
It was the completed treasure itself—Yi Jian Manor.
Because Yuan Bin's strength continued to grow, and because the Divine Kingdom existed within the spatial interlayer, constantly absorbing space fragments to expand, he did not immediately draw it into his body. Instead, he allowed it to continue evolving externally.
He believed—without doubt—that he would soon break through to the Universe Exalt level. When that happened, Yi Jian Manor would undergo another transformation.
Unfortunately, not long after completing the refinement, Yuan Bin was summoned back to the clan to participate in a joint effort to refine a top-tier treasure.
He never returned.
His fall was sudden. No message was sent. His divine power avatar dissipated instantly.
Yi Jian Manor, already refined into a treasure, remained here—waiting.
Had it still been an ordinary Divine Kingdom, it would have long since withered, shattered by endless space fragment impacts, and dissolved into nothingness.
The Illusion Heart Realm, the trials, the selection—these had all been preparations Yuan Bin left behind to recruit successors. However, they had not yet been perfected when he departed, and thus remained frozen in their original state.
Recently, due to the absence of a master's control, Yi Jian Manor drifted from the Divine Kingdom layer and happened to connect with a weak point in time and space—aligning with the stable spatial passage Yuan Bin had previously established.
As Yuan Bin's intelligent assistant, Yan Ji possessed high-level authority over Yi Jian Manor. Once she sensed the stabilization of the spatial passage, she activated the jade sword tokens Yuan Bin had left behind, drawing participants to this place.
After fully understanding the situation, Bai Yue frowned again.
"Then… why am I the fated person?"
Yan Ji smiled faintly.
"Do you remember the ring you took from the statue? That ring is Master's personal token."
"The Lian Xing Clan has always believed deeply in fate. They believe everything is arranged unseen, and they prefer to let destiny flow naturally."
"Beyond serving as a token, that ring itself is also a top-tier heavy treasure, one specifically used by Master to assist in refining treasures."
Bai Yue took the ring out from his space ring.
At a glance, its appearance was unchanged, but the fluctuations it now emitted were entirely different from before. When he first obtained it, it had been completely ordinary—no aura, no power.
His world power entered the ring.
Recognition completed instantly.
Information surged into his consciousness.
Refining Flame Ring
A top-tier Domain-type heavy treasure.
It can generate refining flames within a radius of 100 million kilometers, possessing terrifying binding and burning capabilities.
Additionally, it can greatly enhance the efficiency and success rate of treasure refinement.
Though classified as a heavy treasure, its value surpassed that of many ordinary true treasures. For treasure-refining masters, it was an object that could drive even Universe Exalts mad.
A Domain-type treasure.
Even as an auxiliary treasure, its strategic value was immeasurable.
With a thought, Bai Yue sent the Refining Flame Ring into his Original Universe for deeper analysis.
"Since you are the fated one Master waited for," Yan Ji said solemnly, "Yi Jian Manor will now be inherited by you. I hope you will not tarnish Master's name."
"My Master was known as Lian Feng King Yuan Bin."
She raised her hand.
A blue, glowing bead floated out from the void and slowly drifted toward Bai Yue.
The bead was about the size of a fist.
Bai Yue grasped it. His world power entered, and recognition was completed almost instantly.
Information flooded his mind.
Yi Jian Manor
A palace-type treasure.
Its defense cannot be broken by ordinary Universe Overlords.
Possesses strong soul-defense capabilities and space-suppression functions.
When enemies are trapped inside, countless Yi Swords can be unleashed to annihilate them.
This was a true unique treasure.
Its value surpassed that of many high-level true treasures. Owning it was equivalent to possessing a palace treasure, an attack treasure, and a soul treasure simultaneously.
"Walker," Yan Ji said softly, "you are a genius of the Human Race. Fate led you here, and you inherited Master's legacy. I ask only one thing—help me search for news of my Master."
Bai Yue nodded without hesitation.
"As long as it is within my ability, I will help. If I find any information, I will contact you."
He had already searched the Virtual Universe Network after learning Yuan Bin's title. There was no additional information—only what Yan Ji already knew.
After his disappearance, all traces ended.
"My task here is complete," Yan Ji said. "I must also go search for Master myself. Walker… farewell."
They exchanged Virtual Universe contact information.
Moments later, space rippled.
Yan Ji and Bai Yue appeared within the spatial interlayer. Under Bai Yue's control, Yi Jian Manor rapidly shrank, eventually merging into his body.
Yan Ji sent one final message, then teleported Bai Yue directly back to the Storm Sea.
"Walker, our paths part here. I hope next time, I will know your true identity."
With that, she vanished.
Bai Yue did not linger. Determining his direction, he headed toward Lian Xing Continent.
A month later, on a nameless island, Bai Yue released Yi Jian Manor, reduced it to the size of dust, concealed its aura, and entered.
He was preparing for long-term seclusion.
His comprehension of the Space Law had already reached an extremely deep level. This time, he intended to obtain the recognition of the Space Law in one decisive breakthrough.
Inside Yi Jian Manor, Bai Yue carefully inspected the space.
It spanned nearly one trillion kilometers, divided into multiple independent regions.
He soon sensed two familiar auras.
They were Yin Mo and Yan Lang, the werewolf brothers.
Trapped within the Illusion Heart Realm, they had never truly participated in the ruin's exploration. Immersed in illusion, they stood frozen, unable to escape.
Bai Yue had no intention of dealing with them.
With a thought, he released them outside.
They were Human-affiliated races. Killing them served no purpose.
As for Mang Long and Weibulu, they had chosen the Path of Death as well. Though they failed, they had already been teleported out alive.
Once released, Yin Mo and Yan Lang awakened immediately, activating their Domains and scanning the surroundings. Finding nothing, they eventually departed, confused but alive.
Bai Yue turned his attention elsewhere.
The alien race Undying trapped inside Yi Jian Manor… would not be spared.
They were unworthy of enslavement. Turning them into military merits was the best outcome.
Activating Yi Jian Manor's secret patterns, endless sword light condensed from the void, forming a vast river of blades.
Under Bai Yue's control, the sword river split apart, surging toward the trapped alien Undying.
They were defenseless.
Divine bodies shattered. God power was annihilated.
Some self-destructed in despair, only accelerating the slaughter.
When silence finally returned, all alien Undying had fallen.
Only then did Bai Yue truly begin his cultivation.
Transforming into the Mo Sha Clan form, he devoted every clone to comprehending the Space Law.
The 108 Space Law Essences aligned in his mind.
Perception expanded.
One kilometer… ten kilometers… ten thousand… one hundred million…
Finally—0.01 light-years.
That was the limit when spreading in all directions.
When focused in a single direction, his perception surged—
One light-year… two…
Finally stopping just short of two light-years.
Bai Yue opened his eyes.
The Space Law… had acknowledged him.
