In outer space around the Moon, suddenly, with tremors visible to the naked eye, space shattered like a mirror. At the moment of fragmentation, a purplish root surged out from within.

The root appeared surreal and was covered in a purplish sheen that did not reflect or radiate any light yet glowed.

Looking along this section of purple root, looking into the depths of the void, one could see the root seeming endless, stretching directly to the beautiful blue planet, Earth.

“Go,” commanding, Yu Zi Yu greeted with a nod to Nine Tails, Bull Demon, and other Mutant Beasts.

“Yes, Master,” promptly replying, Nine Tails took the first step forward, heading towards the rift in space.

*Tap, tap, tap…* Waves of flames rolled through space as Nine Tails made her way to Yu Zi Yu’s Cosmic Root before rushing towards the other end.

Following her, one after another, Natural Disaster-Class Transcendents began to pour into the crack.

“Master, can we really reach Earth this way?” Suddenly, a psychic transmission rang in Yu Zi Yu’s mind.

“Of course.” Yu Zi Yu glanced at the source of the transmission — the curious Sweet Osmanthus, and explained, “A section of my Cosmic Roots is present in Misty Mountains. And with every section connected to each other, these guys can walk straight to Earth, like ascending on the stairway to Heaven.”

Just as these words escaped Yu Zi Yu’s lips, he could not help but be slightly stunned. Unknowingly, he had assumed the role of Jianmu.

In legends, Jianmu bridged the gap between Heaven and Earth. If an expert wanted to descend to the Mortal Realm, they would need to follow Jianmu all the way down.

Currently, Yu Zi Yu was playing a similar role, where Earth was like the Mortal Realm and Moon was akin to Heaven. As for his Cosmic Roots, they had become bridges connecting Heaven and Earth.

However, this bridge was dangerous; only beings of Natural Disaster-Class could tread it. But with Yu Zi Yu’s protection, safety was assured.

“If possible, I can try to make the Moon into a Celestial Realm… and then wait for powerful Transcendents from Earth to ascend one by one, eventually conquering the stars with me.” In the midst of his contemplation, Yu Zi Yu gradually formed a plan that was not too mature but seemed feasible.

After a while, Yu Zi Yu shook his head to dispel his thoughts. [There is no need to hurry, I still have a lot of time on my hands. The great era has just begun. It would take a long time for powerful individuals to emerge in large numbers.]

At this moment, as if remembering something, Yu Zi Yu also opened the Pocket of Mist.

*Booooom, booooom, booooom, booooom…* Accompanied by tremors in space, a vortex filled with white mist suddenly shook violently, eventually revealing a space filled with dense mist.

And deep within this Space Pocket stood countless Mist Beasts, resembling Kangaroos, in rows like an army. They looked exceptionally daunting and majestic.

Not far from these Mist Beasts stood two Mist Beasts, much larger and stronger, and golden in colour.

They were the Light and Dark King, extremely difficult opponents.

As the Pocket of Mist expanded, they grew even stronger. However, more shocking than this endless army of Mist Beasts was what lay deep within the Pocket of Mist — a figure wearing a helmet and a red cape.

This was a Human, and a remarkable and powerful one at that. Even now, countless chains of mist were keeping his body tied down, yet this could not erase the proud look in his eyes.

Faintly, one could see countless fine electric arcs crackling around his body.

He was Yule — the Master of Magnetism, the pride of America, a Superhuman renowned for his strength in the top ten among Humans. Even more terrifying was his ability to control magnetism.

In the universe, the universally recognized four fundamental forces are Electromagnetism, Gravitational Force, Strong Nuclear Force, and Weak Nuclear Force. They constitute this universe and are also the most powerful forces in nature known to Humans.

As the Master of Magnetism, the fact that he could control magnetism indirectly implied his ability to handle powerful forces like Electromagnetism.

Therefore, compared to others, Yule caught Yu Zi Yu’s attention, simply because some time ago, Yu Zi Yu felt a probing gaze.

Yu Zi Yu reckoned that the owner of that gaze was this guy.

With a playful smile, Yu Zi Yu also fixed his gaze on the Master of Magnetism.

At this moment, it seemed, seemingly sensing Yu Zi Yu’s gaze, Yule let out a heart-wrenching roar, grimacing in fury, “You… you freaking bastard…”

His eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed as if, given the chance, he would devour Yu Zi Yu right then and there.

“Bastard!?” Chuckling coldly, Yu Zi Yu retorted with a hint of amusement, “Survival of the fittest…”

“Survival of the fittest…” A bitter smile appeared on Yule’s face. He had nothing to retort.

Having reached his level, he naturally would not engage in pointless arguments.

However, he was unwilling, deeply unwilling. He could not accept the fact that the final glory of the Human Race was extinguished under his hand. He blamed himself for gathering all the prodigies of the Human Race, and making them ensnared by the Tree Monster.

He hated himself…

He resented himself…

[Everything is my fault.] Deep in self-blame, his bloodshot eyes welled up.

Yet, just then, a voice suddenly rang in his ear, “I didn’t kill them. Except for you and another Natural Disaster-Class Superhuman, I have spared the others…”

Yu Zi Yu’s calm and faint voice was full of playfulness, yet it startled Yule.

“Are… are you serious?” Seeming somewhat incredulous, Yule’s voice was hoarse and trembling.

“Do you think I would lie?” Saying so, Yu Zi Yu sounded helpless.

At the time, that Remnant Immortal’s contingency had intervened. So, he really did not have the time to make a move, nor did he dare to.

[However, that might not be the case in the future. If can’t be used, a Natural Disaster-Class Expert is ultimately a threat. But…] As if realizing something, Yu Zi Yu looked at the Master of Magnetism, who was still in disbelief, continued, “Not acting now doesn’t mean I won’t act against Humanity in the future.”

With a hint of threat, Yu Zi Yu’s voice turned cold.

“What do you want me to do?” In just an instant, Yule seemed to have sensed the hidden meaning behind his words, and promptly asked.

“It’s very simple.” Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly. Moments later, amidst Yule’s astonishment and suspicion, a blood-red mark, hovering in the air, appeared deep in the Pocket of Mist.

“Accept this blood-red mark. Make a pact with me and become my Fourth Apostle. In exchange, as long as Humans don’t provoke me, I won’t lift a finger against them.”
