After bidding farewell to King Tiegu, Han Jue planned to reapply for entry into Primal Chaos City.
Core members of the Virtual Universe Company at the Universe, Domain Lord, and World Master levels could request extended stays in Primal Chaos City for cultivation purposes. A Domain Lord could train there for 300 years, which corresponded to 1,000 years in the Original Universe's accelerated time flow.
Meanwhile, his siblings Han Huan and Han Xi were still undergoing their training in Primal Chaos City and hadn't returned yet. If Han Jue went there now, he should be able to reunite with them.
It had been nearly a hundred years since they'd last met in person, and Han Jue was eager to see them again.
"Master, King Tiegu sent an email with special coordinates," Rimuru informed Han Jue three days after his meeting with the Immortal King.
"Where?" Han Jue asked, his interest piqued.
"Within Ganwu Universe Country... Let me see, it appears to be near the Black Dragon Mountain star region, in another medium-level civilization," Rimuru exclaimed in surprise.
"Did King Tiegu explain why he sent these coordinates?" Han Jue inquired.
"King Tiegu said those coordinates mark the Ice Wasteland Lord's former home planet. If we're searching for information about him, we should go there. Ronnie Sisleigh was the strongest being ever born from that planet, so there should be many records about him preserved there," Rimuru explained.
"Let's investigate," Han Jue ordered immediately.
The Ice Wasteland spacecraft could reach fifty times the speed of light. At that velocity, it would take less than ten days to reach those coordinates.
Mubo Star
A life-bearing planet, only slightly larger than Earth, orbited alternately around two binary stars. Besides Mubo Star itself, two other habitable planets and numerous barren worlds surrounded the stellar pair, forming a complete star system.
The strongest individual to ever emerge from Mubo Star was Ronnie Sisleigh, the Ice Wasteland Lord. After his fall, no other World Master had risen from Mubo's population. The planet's current strongest warrior was merely an elderly third-level Domain Lord who served as the nominal ruler of the Mubo Galaxy.
Located on the outer edge of the Black Dragon Mountain star region, the Mubo Galaxy's available resources were even scarcer than those of the Milky Way.
Han Jue materialized above Mubo, concealing his presence with practiced ease. Ian, who accompanied him, did the same, their auras suppressed to avoid alarming the planet's inhabitants.
"Master, I've compiled all available information on the Ice Wasteland Lord from this planet's networks and historical archives," Rimuru reported swiftly.
Mubo, being a planet connected to cosmic civilization, lacked adequate defensive firewalls. As an advanced artificial intelligence, Rimuru had quickly gathered all relevant data.
Han Jue examined the information carefully.
The Ice Wasteland Lord's real name had been Ronnie Sisleigh. Thousands of epochs ago, he'd entered the Apocalypse Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company through their Genius Battle. He climbed the ranks step by step, passing the Domain Lord Qualification Competition to become a member of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm. He then broke through to the World Master level and departed for the Extraterritorial Battlefield, where historical records of him ended abruptly.
There, according to fragmentary accounts, the Ice Wasteland Lord had befriended King Tiegu, who was also a World Master at the time. The two became close comrades.
According to King Tiegu's own testimony, he never saw Ronnie Sisleigh again after their final separation on the battlefield.
Han Jue learned that the Ice Wasteland Lord had last been documented on Earth, where he'd left behind his entire legacy before vanishing completely. Not even a corpse remained.
Rimuru couldn't determine whether Ronnie had perished or if his body had simply decayed to nothing over the vast passage of time. After all, even World Master-level bodies couldn't be preserved indefinitely without achieving Immortality and transforming into an immortal divine body.
On Mubo, the people regarded Ronnie Sisleigh as their greatest hero. He'd led their planet into the greater cosmic civilization and saved them from the catastrophic fate of becoming a slave world. Much like Luo Feng's status among Earth's population in the original timeline, Ronnie was worshipped by Mubo's inhabitants.
The Ice Wasteland Lord's entire life story had been passed down as legend on Mubo.
In the early days, when Mubo's strongest warriors had barely reached the stellar level, a group of slave traders had planned to transform the entire planet into a breeding ground for slaves. At that time, Ronnie Sisleigh had been merely a planetary-level youth, but he'd risen against impossible odds. Leading Mubo's people in desperate resistance against the slavers, he'd even managed to seize one of their spaceships to escape into the wider universe.
Once off-world, Ronnie joined a powerful organization, marking the true beginning of his meteoric rise.
Under that power's banner, he'd entered the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and participated in a major conflict between two great forces. Upon his triumphant return, he competed in the Virtual Universe Company's Genius Battle and ascended to their core membership ranks.
From that moment forward, Mubo began to prosper under his distant protection.
The Ice Wasteland Lord had returned to Mubo twice more, once at the Domain Lord level and again after achieving World Master status. Each time, he'd left behind descendants and fragments of his legacy, but he'd departed without extensive farewells or explanations.
After his second departure, Mubo's people heard no further news of their hero. As far as they knew, Ronnie Sisleigh had vanished into the vast cosmos, never to return.
"Two great powers clashing? Involvement with the Black Dragon Mountain Empire?" Han Jue noted the crucial details, his analytical mind piecing together a timeline.
"Rimuru, contact the Emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Request his assistance in locating the exact site of that ancient battle," Han Jue instructed.
Mubo was situated in the Anku star region, which happened to be relatively close to the Milky Way. The connection made the investigation more convenient.
Within moments, Rimuru had her answer.
"Master, I've confirmed the details. Back then, warriors from Three Axe Mountain engaged forces from the Sadeluo Empire's Goldsilver Forest in combat within the territory of the Silver-Blue Empire. I've obtained the precise coordinates. We can depart immediately," Rimuru reported efficiently.
"Excellent," Han Jue nodded, pleased with the Emperor's swift cooperation.
The Black Dragon Mountain Empire's ruler understood the value of maintaining good relations with a rising genius from the Virtual Universe Company.
The spacecraft lifted off, setting course for the new coordinates.
Soon, a shattered asteroid field appeared in the viewscreen before Han Jue.
"Here?" Han Jue frowned, scanning the debris field. At first glance, nothing seemed unusual. He glanced at Ian beside him questioningly.
Ian extended his immortal consciousness, sweeping the surrounding area with tremendous power, but detected nothing out of the ordinary.
Han Jue exited the spacecraft, emerging into the vacuum of space to conduct his own examination. He carefully observed the asteroid field's configuration, searching for anomalies.
He released his domain power, letting it flow through the debris, but found nothing unusual.
Unwilling to abandon the search, Han Jue extended his soul power next, probing deeper. Still nothing revealed itself.
Just as Han Jue prepared to leave, assuming this was another dead end, he suddenly noticed something peculiar. The trajectory and positioning of the asteroid belt before him seemed strangely familiar, following a pattern he'd seen before.
The arrangement resembled... the fundamental laws of the universe itself!
Han Jue opened his Six Eyes, and countless colorful lines appeared in his enhanced vision. Each color corresponded to one of the ten Origin Laws, Space, Time, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Light. These ten fundamental laws intersected and wove together, forming the impossibly complex composite pattern known as the Law of Chaos.
'There's something hidden here!'
Han Jue instantly transported himself to the center of the asteroid belt, which appeared as empty void without even dust particles to mark its location.
'Traces left by the Law of Space...'
Han Jue concentrated, and the Molten Flame Pool materialized around him, its enhanced power responding to his will.
The Water-Sky Holy Flame blazed to life within the pool, its flames burning with an otherworldly azure light. With its significantly amplified space-sealing capabilities after integrating with the pool, Han Jue forcibly tore open the concealed spatial layer!
Crack!
The void starry sky ripped apart like torn fabric, revealing what had been hidden underneath.
An asteroid fragment with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers appeared, or more precisely, a massive meteorite shard.
Han Jue could sense a peculiar force emanating from it, something calling out to him specifically. The sensation was neither threatening nor comforting, simply... beckoning.
'Is this connected to the Origin Star? Or perhaps... the Mountain and Sea Realm?'
