Chapter 342 Origin Treasure? You probably can't use it!
At the summit of Thunder Island, amidst countless chaotic currents of air, stands a colossal temple, its upper part reaching straight into the clouds, its exact length completely obscured.
After a beam of white light descended from the sky, Zhou Ze appeared on the teleportation platform outside the palace.
"Senior, I've arrived!"
Zhou Ze bowed respectfully, his voice carrying out in a moderate volume.
"Come in."
As the voice of the Chaos City Lord appeared in his ears, the palace gates swung open.
Zhou Ze flew directly in. This was the first time he had entered the Chaos City Lord's temple in this way. In the past, when the Chaos City Lord logged in, he would be teleported to the temple as soon as he logged in.
As Zhou Ze flew, he looked around at his surroundings, but there was nothing particularly unusual about it.
"Come this way."
The Chaos City Lord spread his power, causing Zhou Ze, who was originally heading towards the main hall of the temple, to change direction and bypass the main hall, arriving at the pavilion on the central island of the lake in the back hall.
On the stone table crafted from chaotic blue rock, there are two teacups and an exquisite vermilion teapot. Steam rises continuously from the teapot, and the aroma of tea is intoxicating and refreshing.
"Senior Chaos," Zhou Ze bowed respectfully.
"Hmm." The Lord of Chaos City seemed like an ordinary person, emanating no aura. His fierce face and serene eyes easily created a sense of incongruity.
The Lord of Chaos City had a thought, "Thank you, Senior!"
After the Chaos City Lord took a sip, Zhou Ze also picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and his eyes lit up slightly.
"It's been many years since I've been back to Earth, but the tea here seems to be getting more and more fragrant." Zhou Ze said with slight surprise.
The tea from the Lord of Chaos City is truly fragrant. The bitterness of the tea does not make people feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, as the bitterness settles, the aroma becomes more and more intense, with a stronger "aftereffect" than many fine wines.
The Lord of Chaos City smiled slightly and said, "The tea from your Earth is indeed excellent, and with years of cultivation and development, you have even cultivated tea that can calm the mind."
"Oh?" Zhou Ze paused slightly. "The Earth has developed so fast; I've somewhat overlooked it over the years."
He knew that Luo Feng's family was taking care of Earth, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
After exchanging a few polite words, the Chaos City Lord asked, "What is your strength now?"
Even the Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but be curious about Zhou Ze's strength. As the head of the Virtual Universe Company, investigating the true identity of Zhou Ze's pseudonym was a piece of cake for him.
He naturally knew that the so-called "Thunder Flame King" was just Zhou Ze's alias.
"With your strength, you shouldn't be able to kill a King-level Invincible, right? Did you use a mental attack combined with other methods to kill that Zerg Immortal?"
"The Zerg are now joining forces with the Demon Race and the Machine Race to attack our human race, accusing us of breaking the rules by allowing a King-level expert, comparable to a Venerable, to hide his true strength and kill a large number of Marquis-level Immortals!"
Zhou Ze said with displeasure, "They're meddling too much! Besides, the strength I displayed back then was only at the initial stage of the King-level. I haven't even blamed them, the invincible King-level warriors, for attacking me!"
"If an invincible king can ambush a mere beginner king like me, can't I kill an immortal marquis?"
The Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but laugh and said, "The explicit rule of the extraterritorial battlefield is that Universe Venerables are not allowed to enter. Although there is no explicit rule for something like an Invincible King hunting an Immortal Marquis, it is a rule that is tacitly accepted by all parties."
"Although our elite clans fight to the death, frankly speaking, if we cannot annihilate the other side in one fell swoop, then the invincible king's wanton slaughter of ordinary immortals and marquis immortals is a lose-lose situation, and in the end, others will benefit from it."
"After all, if you can send out invincible king-level experts to slaughter the opponent's ordinary immortals and marquis-level immortals, then the opponent can do the same."
"That's true." Zhou Ze took another sip of tea. The tea was a bit intoxicating, but unlike alcohol, it didn't make him dizzy. Instead, it made him even clearer-headed, which made him sigh:
"This tea is really good; I need to ask Xu Xin to send me some in person."
"Get some for me too, but you can deliver them to me personally," the Chaos City Lord said quietly.
Zhou Ze paused for a moment and looked at the Lord of Chaos City.
"What's so strange about that? This tea is indeed excellent, but I can't say it directly." The Chaos City Lord smiled slightly and sighed.
"The virtual universe can never compare to reality."
The Lord of Chaos City seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words, but Zhou Ze didn't think much of it and agreed:
"That's true. The virtual universe can even simulate the laws, but cultivators still need to be in reality to comprehend them."
"Furthermore, real-world battles are different from those in the virtual universe. Even if the virtual universe can simulate real-world battles," the Chaos City Lord sipped his tea and said, "that's normal. After all, you don't die in the virtual universe. No matter how much you treat battles in the virtual universe as real combat, you can only infinitely approximate real combat!"
After exchanging a few casual words, Zhou Ze returned to the question posed by the Lord of Chaos City:
"Senior, how should I put it? My true strength is roughly equivalent to a True King-level invincible figure—"
Upon hearing this, even the usually serene Chaos City Lord couldn't help but show a hint of shock in his eyes, and for a moment he stood there stunned.
It's important to understand that Zhou Ze has only been in contact with the universe for about two thousand years. To rise from a planetary-level being to a cosmic venerable being in just two thousand years is simply incredible!
Aside from those born beast gods, he couldn't find a second example. Even his teacher, the Primordial Ancestor, a peerless genius of heaven-defying level, couldn't compare to Zhou Ze at all.
"However, if we're talking about my potential, with the addition of the Royal Armor, I possess roughly 4000 million times the power of a World Lord, which would make me a weaker Universe Venerable—"
The Chaos City Lord asked curiously, "You mean your strength has increased too quickly, and you don't have enough energy?"
Zhou Ze nodded: "And as you know, I cannot activate the 'Sea of Laws,' the origin of the universe; I can only passively absorb cosmic energy."
"Senior, could you lend me your primordial treasure for a moment?" Zhou Ze said with a grin. "I've done a great service; I just killed a King-level Invincible being, and a Zerg one at that! You don't know I lost an avatar in the process!"
"This is a huge loss. This body can't be replenished with ordinary energy; it's related to the Pearl of Nirvana—"
Zhou Ze knew that the Lord of Chaos City was the most just and selfless person. It was fine when he was still an immortal, but now that he was a true powerhouse, it might offend the Lord of Chaos City if he continued to seek gain without effort.
"A primordial treasure?" The Chaos City Lord pondered for a moment. "You probably can't use it!"
Zhou Ze looked puzzled.
Why can't he use the Origin Treasure anymore? He remembers reading in the novel that the Origin Treasure could quickly restore the divine body of a powerful person.
Just as he was about to search through the deepest memories in his mind, the Chaos City Lord spoke up:
"From the time you became a Realm Lord until now, have you always been unable to communicate with the origin of the universe?"
