At the moment he enslaved the Master of Ice Extreme, a system notification announcing the completion of the mission echoed in Luo Fan's mind.
At this moment, his face was filled with joy.
He had not expected to successfully enslave a Universe Master so soon.
It could be said that within the Primal Universe, and even the entire Universe Sea, aside from Zuo Shan Ke, he was the first being to enslave a Universe Master. (TL/N: Zuo Shan Ke is Sitting Mountain Guest pinyin.)
Of course, the three enslaved by the Realm Beasts were True Gods.
Being able to gain another Universe Master as combat power made him very happy.
Although, for Luo Fan now, a single Universe Master might not mean much.
Still, it was far better than ordinary slaves.
Most importantly, Luo Fan could obtain information from him.
That was what he cared about most.
There was also another benefit.
Just from its name, Ice Extreme Reincarnation was clearly very suitable for the Master of Ice Extreme to cultivate.
If the Master of Ice Peak could only use it as reference, the Master of Ice Extreme could completely follow the path recorded in Ice Extreme Reincarnation.
In that case, there was even a chance he could break through to the True God realm in the future.
Luo Fan did not wake the Master of Ice Extreme, who was still trapped in the illusion. Instead, he first claimed the system reward.
"System, claim the reward."
The next moment, a memory stone suddenly appeared inside Luo Fan's system space.
Inside it was the content of Ice Extreme Reincarnation.
It was a secret manual that could be cultivated all the way to the limit of the True God realm.
The path recorded within involved the fusion of the origin laws of time, space, and water.
However, after briefly browsing through it, Luo Fan discovered that this was actually a soul secret technique.
Unfortunately, the Master of Ice Peak specialized in material attacks.
Luo Fan also did not understand why, despite Yuan Zu being so proficient in soul attacks, among his three most powerful disciples only the Master of Darkness had chosen the same path.
Both the Master of Chaos City and the Master of Ice Peak had taken the path of material attacks.
Still, even though it was a soul technique, the method of combining laws recorded within could still give the Master of Ice Peak some inspiration.
Luo Fan did not hesitate and directly summoned an avatar of the Master of Ice Peak.
Because of the previous inheritance, Origin of the Thunder Universe, most Human Universe Masters had left either an avatar or a divine power clone here to study it.
Luo Fan had no intention of keeping the inheritance for himself.
He directly gathered the avatars and divine power clones of the Human Universe Masters.
In fact, even Giant Axe Creator had left a divine power clone here.
It could be said that they could hold a highest-level meeting here at any time.
When Luo Fan arrived in this special space, everyone immediately sensed it.
"What happened?"
"Did you kill that unfamiliar Universe Master?"
"Or did you actually succeed in enslaving him?"
Previously, Luo Fan had asked the Human Universe Masters about the Master of Ice Extreme.
However, no one knew any information about him.
As for Luo Fan attempting enslavement, almost everyone had supported the idea.
After all, if it succeeded, it would be an enormous gain.
If it failed, they could still obtain the treasures on the opponent.
There was no harm in trying.
If successful, the Human race would gain a Universe Master-level slave.
However, everyone knew that enslaving a Universe Master was extremely difficult.
Even if the opponent was currently trapped in an illusion.
After all, the willpower of a Universe Master was simply too powerful.
Moreover, Luo Fan himself was not even a Universe Master.
His will had merely reached the Universe Master level.
If Luo Fan's will had broken through to the True God level, they might have thought there was some hope.
Unfortunately, Luo Fan's will was only close to the limit of the Universe Master level.
Therefore, although they supported the attempt, almost no one believed he would succeed.
Seeing Luo Fan appear now, everyone assumed he had failed.
Looking at their expressions, Luo Fan smiled and said,
"I have successfully enslaved him."
The moment those words were spoken, the entire place erupted.
"What?! You actually enslaved that unfamiliar Universe Master!"
"Has Hunyuan's will already broken through to the True God level?"
"This is unbelievable. Aside from Yuan Zu, he should be the first in the Primal Universe to possess a Universe Master slave, right?" (TL/N: Yuan Zu is Ancestor Yuan who created Virtual Universe Company and enslaved a machine race Universe Master.)
Although the Human leaders had always had great confidence in Luo Fan, almost none of them believed he could succeed in this matter.
After all, enslaving a Universe Master was far too difficult.
If it were easy, someone would have done it long ago.
Even for a True God, a Universe Master slave could provide enormous assistance.
Especially for True Gods who led races.
A Universe Master was extremely important to the strength of a race.
Even solitary True Gods could have a Universe Master slave explore the Universe Sea for them.
However, throughout the Universe Sea, almost no one possessed a Universe Master-level slave.
Even the Machine Race Universe Master who served as the server of the Virtual Universe under Yuan Zu had become his servant while still an intelligent life form.
Later, Yuan Zu granted him a Heart of Evolution and carefully nurtured him.
Only then did he break through to the Universe Master level.
Aside from that case, no one had ever heard of anyone else in the Universe Sea possessing a Universe Master slave.
Even those True Gods who specialized in soul techniques had never achieved such a feat.
Yet now, Luo Fan, a Universe Master… no, a Venerable…
Had enslaved a Universe Master.
If this were told to outsiders, no one would believe it.
Others might not know Luo Fan's true realm, but the Human race's top experts certainly did.
Almost everyone in the Primal Universe and the Universe Sea believed Luo Fan was a Universe Master.
However, these Human experts knew that Luo Fan had still not broken through.
Although he possessed Universe Master-level combat power, and once his avatars were prepared they could even combine to unleash True God-level strength, his realm was still that of a Venerable.
A Venerable enslaving a Universe Master.
It sounded unbelievable.
But since Luo Fan said it himself, it could not be false.
At that moment, the Master of Chaos City suddenly thought of something.
"Did you wake him?"
"Which reincarnation era does he belong to?"
"Does he possess maps of the other dangerous regions of the Universe Sea?"
The moment he said this, everyone looked at Luo Fan with burning eyes.
They already knew that this unfamiliar Universe Master was definitely not from the Two Holy Lands.
After all, Universe Masters from the Holy Land universes usually possessed fifth-tier or even sixth-tier strength.
Moreover, they were equipped with a complete set of supreme treasures.
In the Holy Land universes, even becoming a Universe Master required waiting in line.
The number of Universe Masters there was strictly maintained.
Generally, only when one died would a Venerable be allowed to break through.
And the Venerables who received such opportunities were always the strongest ones.
These Venerables had spent countless reincarnation eras within the Holy Land universes and had long created Universe Master-level secret techniques.
After all, the Holy Land universes possessed complete inheritances.
Not only inheritances at the Universe Master level, but even inheritances reaching the limit of the True God realm.
Therefore, Universe Masters from the Holy Land universes were almost always fifth-tier Universe Masters.
Someone with that level of strength would not fall into an illusion within the Land of Illusory Light.
This meant the unfamiliar Universe Master could only come from one of the Three Reincarnation Eras.
As for which era or which True God's small universe he belonged to, that remained unknown.
The Human Universe Masters naturally hoped he came from the First Reincarnation Era.
Ideally, from a major force.
The greater his background, the more complete his maps of the Universe Sea's deadly regions would likely be.
However, Luo Fan did not immediately answer.
Instead, he took out the memory stone.
When the Human leaders saw the stone, excitement appeared in their eyes.
They knew what it was.
A memory stone.
Such things were extremely rare in the Primal Universe.
Usually, they contained information or inheritances from ancient civilizations.
And since Luo Fan did not immediately speak about the enslaved Universe Master but instead presented the memory stone first, the contents must be extraordinary.
"What is this?"
Giant Axe Creator asked first.
Luo Fan did not hide anything.
"This is an inheritance that reaches the limit of the True God realm."
"The strongest secret technique inside reaches top-tier tenth rank."
"It is called Ice Extreme Reincarnation."
When they heard the name, everyone instinctively looked toward the Master of Ice Peak.
Just from the name alone, the inheritance seemed extremely suitable for him.
At that moment, excitement also appeared in the Master of Ice Peak's eyes.
However, Luo Fan spoke again, a hint of regret in his gaze.
"Unfortunately, it is a soul secret technique."
"Although the laws involved are mainly time, space, and the origin law of water."
"At most, it can probably serve as reference for my teacher."
The other Human experts also showed expressions of regret.
If the Human race could truly gain another True God, everyone would naturally be happy.
It did not matter who that person was.
Unfortunately, if it had been a material attack technique perfectly suited to the Master of Ice Peak, it might truly have allowed him to break through to the True God realm.
The Master of Ice Peak also showed a trace of regret.
"It's fine. Even as a soul technique, it can serve as reference."
"Perhaps I might gain sudden enlightenment from it."
He looked at Luo Fan and spoke reassuringly.
Luo Fan nodded.
"I will place this memory stone together with the Origin of the Thunder Universe monument."
"Everyone can study it together."
"Even if it isn't perfectly suited to you, drawing parallels might still bring some gains."
No one objected.
An inheritance reaching the limit of the True God realm was naturally worth studying.
After thinking for a moment, Giant Axe Creator said,
"Let Ice Peak and Darkness study it first. This inheritance suits them best."
"What do you think?"
He looked at Luo Fan after speaking.
After all, Luo Fan had brought it.
His opinion mattered most.
Luo Fan naturally had no objections.
Right now, his priority was still fusing the three profound mysteries of the origin law of time.
As for Ice Extreme Reincarnation, he could study it later.
Among the Human experts, the Master of Ice Peak was most compatible with its laws.
Meanwhile, the Master of Darkness, who specialized in soul techniques, was also suitable.
Everyone agreed with Giant Axe Creator's arrangement.
After all, reading a memory stone did not take much time.
At that moment, the Master of Chaos City asked again,
"By the way, what about that unfamiliar Universe Master?"
Luo Fan moved his mind.
In the next moment, the Master of Ice Extreme appeared in this space.
Luo Fan awakened him directly in front of everyone.
Soon, the Master of Ice Extreme slowly regained consciousness.
When he saw the Human Universe Masters surrounding him, bitterness flashed through his eyes.
Although he had mostly been active in Flowing Heavy Mountain, he still knew about the humans of the Third Reincarnation Era who explored Inkling Peak Realm.
The moment he woke up, he immediately realized that he had been enslaved.
"Sigh… I never thought there would be a day when I would be enslaved."
"But fortunately, the one who enslaved me is my master."
At this moment, the Master of Ice Extreme even felt somewhat fortunate that Luo Fan had enslaved him.
Although he clearly understood that he had been enslaved and felt bitterness in his heart, he simultaneously felt genuine happiness about being enslaved by Luo Fan.
These two contradictory emotions coexisted within him.
This was the terrifying aspect of enslavement techniques in this universe.
Even when someone clearly knew they had been enslaved, they could not produce any resistance.
They might even feel happy about it.
At the moment of enslavement, Luo Fan had become the most important existence in his heart.
More important than anything else.
This was the horror of such secret techniques.
"Master."
He bowed respectfully toward Luo Fan.
Luo Fan nodded and spoke directly.
"Introduce your background."
He was also curious about the Master of Ice Extreme's origins.
After all, he had only learned the name through the system mission.
The Master of Ice Extreme immediately began explaining everything.
Soon, everyone learned his background.
The Master of Ice Extreme had entrusted his life mark to the small universe of the True God Lingxin, a solitary True God of the First Reincarnation Era.
Lingxin True God was an eighth-tier True God who specialized in soul attacks.
At the end of the First Reincarnation Era, the Master of Ice Extreme had sacrificed all of his treasures in exchange for placing his life mark within Lingxin True God's small universe.
As for his own strength, the Master of Ice Extreme was only a third-tier Universe Master.
Because his lifespan was nearing its end, he had come to Flowing Heavy Mountain to explore in a final attempt.
After learning this information, Luo Fan said,
"Share all the maps of the Three Great Deadly Regions that you possess."
