Chapter 417 A Top Universe Overlord Humbly Seeks Advice!
"Oh? You mean—"
Zhou Ze was about to enter the black mist when he saw the Star Prison Demon Lord ask this question, so he stopped, turned around and said.
The Star Prison Demon Lord said with slight respect, "Holy Master, you know me. I am already a top-tier cosmic overlord, but I have been unable to break through to the level of a cosmic master—"
"I clearly have all the conditions for a breakthrough. Time and space are complete, and I have even comprehended the Heart of the Beast God. It can be said that I have one foot in the door of becoming a master of the universe, but I am just half a step away. This half step is like an insurmountable chasm, blocking my way—"
Zhou Ze asked with slight doubt, "This—I thought you didn't want to break through—"
The Star Prison Demon Lord was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"
He didn't quite understand Zhou Ze's words. Who wouldn't want to break through to the level of a Universe Lord? Although top-tier Universe Overlords are precious, even rarer than Universe Lords, a Universe Venerable is still a Universe Venerable. Even if he is a top-tier Universe Overlord, comparable to a weak Universe Lord, he is still just a Venerable.
Zhou Ze laughed and said, "No, I thought you were all unwilling to break through to the level of the Universe Lord. After all, once you become the Universe Lord, if you fall, you can't be resurrected."
"Our race doesn't lack a cosmic ruler, but it definitely lacks a top-tier cosmic overlord capable of infinite resurrection. Many dangerous missions truly require your top-tier cosmic overlords to undertake!"
The reason why top-tier cosmic overlords are no less powerful than cosmic masters is because top-tier cosmic overlords can be resurrected, while cosmic masters do not have clones. Once they perish, they are completely destroyed. Even if they have clones, if they are attacked by a soul attack, all clones will perish.
Even if a top-tier cosmic overlord falls, he can be resurrected by the strongest member of his race. It can be said that the strategic role of a top-tier cosmic overlord is far greater than that of an ordinary cosmic overlord.
The Star Prison Demon Lord gave a bitter smile: "Who wouldn't want to become the ruler of the universe? Even the top universe overlords are just Venerables in the end, only their strength has barely surpassed the Venerable category."
"But breaking through to the level of a Universe Lord is too difficult. I've been a top-tier Universe Overlord for countless eons, yet I'm still stuck here. The Chaos City Lord, and even the Giant Axe Founder, have given me guidance many times, but I still can't break through!"
"I had already met all the conditions for a breakthrough. To be honest, before I came to the Beast God Sect, I had already achieved the space-time balance and had the conditions to become the master of the universe, but I just couldn't break through. So I came to the Beast God Sect to find an opportunity to break through."
"My comprehension is not bad. I have already mastered the Path of the Beast God and comprehended the Heart of the Beast God. It can be said that by pursuing the Path of the Beast God alone, I already have the conditions to become the Lord of the Universe. But to this day, I am still trapped at the level of the Universe Venerable. Alas—"
"Becoming a supreme being in the universe is incredibly difficult—"
Seeing the Star Prison Demon Lord's sorrowful expression, Zhou Ze casually remarked, "Is it really that difficult to break through to the Universe Lord level? I feel like I could break through to the Universe Lord level at any time; I've just been suppressing it—"
The Star Prison Demon Lord was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Holy Master, aren't you the Lord of the Universe?"
Before Zhou Ze could speak, the Star Prison Demon Lord hurriedly said, "But hasn't the clan already announced that you are our human race's sixteenth Universe Lord?"
"Holy Master, I mean no offense, I am just curious. If it is inconvenient for you to say, you may not say it, and I will never spread this matter."
Zhou Ze thought for a moment and said, "This was a decision made by the Giant Axe Conference thousands of years ago. Originally, some universe lords did disagree with it."
"But because that Zerg Queen went directly to my homeland and used time travel to find my information, I was exposed in the universe. I originally wanted to keep a low profile—"
"The other universe lords thought I had good potential, and since I had told Chaos that I could become a universe lord at any time, both Giant Axe and Chaos supported me and agreed to let me become the sixteenth universe lord of the race."
""
The Star Prison Demon Lord was stunned for a moment, then asked weakly, "Holy Master, can you really become the Lord of the Universe at any time? But the opportunity to break through to the Lord of the Universe is fleeting. If you don't seize it, you may never have another chance."
The Star Prison Demon Lord inevitably harbored some doubts.
Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "It might indeed be a bit difficult for you, but I do feel that becoming the Lord of the Universe is relatively simple."
"If it weren't for the Primal Star and certain other reasons, I would have broken through thousands of years ago —"
The Star Prison Demon Lord swallowed hard: "Holy Master, have you really only cultivated for a little over an epoch? Doesn't that mean you became the Lord of the Universe in just one epoch? This...this—"
For a moment, the Star Prison Demon Lord was somewhat incoherent. For a top-tier cosmic overlord like him, who was comparable to a weak cosmic lord, to become like this showed how shaken he was.
"There's nothing I can do, I'm talented, and I work hard too—" Zhou Ze smiled slightly. In a way, the cheat code was indeed his talent, not a system or a cheat.
Yes, his achievements today are entirely due to his own hard work; talent is only a minor part of it.
I am so silly.
The Star Prison Demon Lord murmured to himself, "Others are one thing, but I've personally witnessed how strong the Holy Master's comprehension is. He comprehended the first five levels in such a short time. This is beyond my comprehension, okay?"
The gap between people is much greater than imagined, not to mention that a single Saint Master could attract the combined attacks of the three top clans bordering our race.
"Star Prison Demon Lord, since you have all the conditions to break through to the Universe Lord and have accumulated so many eras, what you lack is just an opportunity, or rather, a spark of inspiration or a flash of insight —"
Zhou Ze looked at the Star Prison Demon Lord and said, "Breaking through to the level of a Universe Lord is not the same as becoming an Immortal. You should also know about the breakthroughs of many Universe Lords within our clan. Sometimes, they break through because of emotional excitement, being moved, observing the movement of the stars, or experiencing life-or-death battles, etc. They gain some insight and then break through."
The Star Prison Demon Lord immediately came to his senses. For a moment, he had forgotten that Zhou Ze's most abnormal ability was not his own talent, comprehension, or cultivation speed, but his guidance ability.
"Yes, Holy Master, but I have tried all of these, and I still cannot break through—" Star Prison Demon Lord replied respectfully.
Zhou Ze calmly said, "Actually, in my view, these are all just touching upon the rules of the universe's operation, and then instantly transcending them."
"The reason you can't overcome this is because you lack some understanding of the rules governing the universe!"
"The rules governing the universe?" The Star Prison Demon Lord was familiar with these words, but Zhou Ze's words made him somewhat confused.
"Yes, whether it's the fundamental laws of the universe or everything in the universe, from the entire universe and even the whole cosmic ocean to a single drop of water or a grain of sand, they are all external manifestations of some kind of rule —"
"You should already know something about methods for cultivating mental state—"
Zhou Ze asked casually, and nowadays, almost every capable strong person would buy a copy of his mental cultivation method, and those above the Universe Venerable level all had one.
"Of course! I've studied it carefully, but unfortunately I'm not qualified enough to even get started—" Star Prison Demon Lord sighed.
Insufficient qualifications?
If the words of the Star Prison Demon Lord were to get out, countless people would be stunned.
