[Auspicious Chaos Realm has changed owners!]
Wang Ye had just entered the human virtual cosmic and browsed through the latest news when he saw the big news pinned at the top in bright red.
The Auspicious Chaos Realmd was one of the five great chaos realms of the cosmic beast race.
The cosmic beast race, which had always been neutral, had been defeated without warning.
A change of owners meant that the Supreme who had refined and controlled the huge chaos realm had either died or lost control of the huge chaos realm, resulting in the place being controlled by another Supreme.
It also meant changes in the great races.
This was because only great races could control huge chaos realms.
The 108 huge chaos realms had not changed hands for nearly an entire chaos era.
“The Human Sanctuary can’t possibly anticipate this.” Wang Ye sighed.
The humans and devils were fighting everywhere. The second war between humans and devils was in full swing.
Who would have thought that the demon race would take advantage of the chaos to occupy the Auspicious Chaos Realm?
“The worst-case scenario has appeared.” Wang Ye now knew why everyone looked so serious.
The devil race alone was not enough, and now, the demon race had joined in on the fun as well.
It was obvious that the two races had once again joined forces to target the humans!
The change of ownership in the Auspicious Chaos Realm was a clear signal.
The devils had helped the demons take down the defenseless Auspicious Chaos Realm, allowing the demons to suppress their arch-enemy, the cosmic beasts, and weaken the potential allies of humanity.
“The devils’ next step is to start an all-out attack.” Wang Ye browsed through other information.
It was not the next step. Rather, it had already begun.
Originally, in the human-devil war, the humans had a slight advantage.
Disregarding the cosmic strongest expert, the humans had more Supremes, Sovereign Venerates, and High Dimension Lords than the devil race.
In the wars waged across the ordinary chaos domains and minor chaos continents, they had a slight advantage.
However, now that the demon race joined in, the situation had been reversed.
Not only did it look like the humans were about to be defeated, but it was also a huge blow to their morale.
The most terrifying thing was that a slight change would affect the entire situation. A local disadvantage would gradually turn into an overall disadvantage.
Once the overall situation was thwarted, the tempo of the war would be completely in the hands of the devil race.
When the time came, the devil race would definitely attack one of the humans’ ten great chaos realms, breaking the foundation of mankind!
“The devil race has given us a checkmate.” Wang Ye sighed.
The war between great races was often an open scheme, a clash of strength.
The humans had no chance of winning against two great races.
Among the eight great races, the divine tree race was permanently neutral and weak in defense and attack. Once they took root, they did not like to move, so they could be eliminated as an ally.
The evil eye race was the weakest, stepped on by the devil race to climb the ranks. They had long been reduced to the bottom of the great races. They had lost their spirit and could also be eliminated.
There were only two paths left for humans.
The first was to ally with the demon race’s arch-enemy, the cosmic beasts. However, the devil race only needed to use a few tricks to stabilize the cosmic beasts. The humans might not be able to persuade the lone cosmic beasts. Even if they joined forces, the cosmic beasts were still much weaker than the demons.
The second option was to seek protection from the Dark race. This might be the most realistic option, but even if the Dark race agreed, the Sky race would not stand by and watch.
As the underlings of the Sky race, the demon race and the devil race were not that stupid.
“This is the cruelty of the cosmic. The strong prey on the weak.” Wang Ye sighed.
None of the races were kind. If one didn’t want to be beaten, one could only make himself stronger!
Whether it was a race or an individual, it was the same.
Strength was the foundation.
Wang Ye exited the human virtual cosmic.
The war between humans and devils was still too far away for him.
His meager power was like an ant trying to shake a tree.
The key was to increase his strength as soon as possible.
Wang Ye turned on the fluorescent screen and looked at the Star Examination rankings.
[1]? Zero: 25 stars
[2]? Zhao Xingyi: 24 stars.
[3]? Xian Yuyan: 23 stars.
[4]? Beiming Jiajia: 23 stars.
[5]? Dongheng Wanyi: 22 stars.
[6]? Hao Lang: 22 stars.
[7]? Wang Ye: 21 stars.
[8]? Piao Baibai: 21 stars.
Seven years had passed, and the Star Examination had been refreshed. The new disciples’ rankings soared.
The trip to the Pentagram Continent had greatly improved each of them, including the old disciples.
After Zero passed the Final Star Examination, he didn’t stop and continued to stay in first place.
However, Zhao Xingyi had already caught up. He rose two stars from 22 stars and was the second to pass the Final Star Examination.
“Good Heavens, all of them have overtaken me.” Wang Ye looked at Xian Yuyan and Dongheng Wanyi’s rankings and laughed.
Xian Yuyan’s greatest improvement was in the Combat Star Examination, reaching 6 stars, on par with Zero and Zhao Xingyi.
She had cleared it in a shorter time, so she was currently ranked first.
“Wang Ye, when are you going to clear the Star Examination?” The disciple beside him asked curiously.
“Now.” Wang Ye left.
The disciples’ eyes were filled with anticipation.
They knew very well how strong Wang Ye was.
He might very well surpass Xian Yuyan’s 23 stars and become the first new disciple to pass the Final Star Examination!

Star Examination area.
Wang Ye greeted everyone with a smile.
He started queuing for all three martial arts subjects, and then walked to the waiting area.
There were many new disciples, but he wasn’t familiar with them.
On the contrary, he had met two of the older disciples once.
“You have finally come to the Final Star Examination.” Hao Lang looked at Wang Ye.
“Yes.” Wang Ye nodded.
“You’re really not modest.” Hao Lang laughed loudly. He looked at Beiming Jiajia. “Sister Jia, Wang Ye is here too. If you don’t pass the Final Star Examination later, it will be embarrassing.”
“Shut up!” The brown-haired Beiming Jiajia glared at Hao Lang and stared at Wang Ye with her fiery eyes. “I won’t lose to him!”
“I’m just joking, Sister Jia. This guy is a monster. Don’t compare yourself to him. It’ll only hurt your self-esteem. Maybe in a few years, Boss Zero will be kicked out by him too.” Hao Lang waved his hand.
“Impossible!” Beiming Jiajia said resolutely.
Hao Lang shrugged at Wang Ye as if saying, “See, she doesn’t believe it.”
Wang Ye smiled.
Zero had 25 stars.
Hmm… He should be able to try and surpass it?
After chatting with the two for a while, Beiming Jiajia entered the Great Path corridor first, followed by Wang Ye entering the willpower corridor.
Unperturbed.
4 stars, pass!
He was a little short of getting 5 stars.
His willpower foundation was not bad, and his life level had also increased by one level. However, his attainments in the path of willpower were average.
“I should buy some aptitude-type natural treasures or get a willpower-type treasure. I should be able to pass 5 stars next time.” Wang Ye more or less understood his shortcomings.
In the waiting area, Beiming Jiajia had yet to come out. She seemed to be in a bitter battle.
It wasn’t easy to get a 6-star rating in the Combat Star Examination.
“Sister Jia is very hardworking,” Hao Lang said. “Coming in last place in terms of mission completion and being the only captain who died was a big blow to her. I hope she can pass the exam smoothly.”
“It won’t be a problem.” Wang Ye looked at the end of the corridor.
He could feel Beiming Jiajia’s arrogance and fighting spirit when she entered.
She had no reason to fail.
After a while, Beiming Jiajia walked out of the Star Examination’s door with clenched fists and a flushed face.
“Congratulations on passing.” Wang Ye laughed.
“Thankyou.” Beiming Jiajia smiled.
She had a perfect combination of the paths of material and energy. Her aura of flames was intense and scorching.
“Haha, watch me next.” Hao Lang jumped up and walked toward the battle corridor relaxedly, his back exuding confidence.
“Five stars isn’t too difficult for him,” Wang Ye said.
“Yes.” Beiming Jiajia nodded and suddenly looked at Wang Ye. “Your attainments in the paths of material and energy are so outstanding. Why don’t you take the path of fusion, the high-dimensional heavenly path of primordial?”
“You’re quite observant,” Wang Ye smiled.
Beiming Jiajia said, “The easiest path to take in the Primordial Star is the fusion of matter and energy. This is because the Primordial Star itself is a perfect fusion. Cultivating the path of fusion will not only increase your cultivation speed but also make it easier for you to become a High Dimension Lord with increased chances.”
“Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister.” Wang Ye bowed his head.
“You’re just pretending not to know.” Beiming Jiajia glared at him. “I won’t bother about you anymore. I’m going back to cultivate!”
With that, she left in a hurry.
Wang Ye’s eyes flickered.
The path of fusion?
Restricting one’s cultivation range too early would narrow the path of cultivation.
To be honest, it depended on the individual.
To him, all-around development was the best.
He wouldn’t miss any opportunities and it would lay a solid foundation for his future.
He entered the Great Path corridor with four passageways.
Wang Ye walked down the path of material.
The huge red Ancient Star was right in front of him, and it contained endless mysteries. Wang Ye was instantly immersed in it.
A complete path of material!
This place contained almost all of the innate great paths of material that humans had inherited. This included the great path of the body, the great path of origin power, the great path of bloodline, the great path of the saber…
It was as if he was observing the core of the Ancient Star. The comprehension was deep, and his heart pounded.
As his attainments in the path of material increased, he gained many insights, giving him a clear view of the road he had to take in the path of material.
Start from the origin, create a perfect foundation like the Ancient Star, and finally, reach optimum.
Boom!
A five-star mark appeared in front of Wang Ye’s eyes and he returned to the starting point.
His Great Path rating went from four-star to five-star.
Wang Ye sighed.
Then, he entered the energy passage.
He had a deeper comprehension of the Primeval Star that was right in front of him because his attainments in the path of energy were even higher.
Enshrouded by pure energy, Wang Ye looked at the ancient blue star at the end of the passage and was enlightened.
The great path of the soul, the great path of cosmic energy, the great path of talent, the great path of elements…
He had a deep understanding of the different paths of energy.
Compared to the last time he entered, it was completely different.
Whoosh!
Soon, his mind shook and Wang Ye returned to his original spot.
Six stars shone before his eyes.
His Great Path rating had increased by another level!
“I’ve passed the Final Star Examination.” Wang Ye’s current total stars had reached 24 stars.
He closed his eyes and recalled the insights he had gained in the two passages.
Boundless and full of mysteries.
The two passages were not only a path to heaven.
As they intersected with each other, countless Great Paths intersected as well.
There were many directions to choose from.
This was how the Primordial Star nurtured its disciples.
It gave them a broad outline, a huge framework, and a wide variety of resources and cultivation environments. It allowed the disciples to freely display their strengths and choose the path that was most suitable for them.
As for his future… It was very clear.
Wang Ye had never wavered.
He wanted to walk the most difficult path, but also the strongest path.
The cosmic strongest expert with four fused paths!
